the subject of the varieties of trees best

the recent and most violent of any pre-

While no injury was done to either of

the preceding dry weather, this tree cam

quently uprooted. Every Pride of India
was Frustrated. No branches of the flow
ering locusts were broken, but the trees
were uprooted. Cedars and bearing Null
berries were broken or stripped OF
branches. Young live oaks were broken
midway of the trunks. Exclusive of the
branches the sycamore (platanus occi-
dentials) sustained no inJury, nor did the
laurel (magnola grandiffora) except dam
age to the foliage from salt spray. There
was no effect upon the palmetto. OF ever

magnolia in so far as It's ability to with
stand a storm is concerned and place the
live oak next in order, and Of deciduous
trees / shou prefer the sycamore.

the Morning News of 18th inst. is a Celtis,
and belongs to the uimaceae or elm fam
lily. II the specimens in Savannah sur
viVed the storm, then that finest of all
American trees, the weeping or white
elm CUlmus Americana), ought to be ex-
tensively used.
/ take the liberty TO recommend that all
trees transplanted should be as small as
a regard for their safety from trespass
may permit, and that whoever is en-
trusted with procuring and transporting
them shall be instructed to protect the
roots from the sun. This has frequently
to my own knowledge, not been done, the
parties stating they did not guarantee the
survival or growth of the trees
1t will afford me pleasure to allow the
park commission to take up young live
oaks on this place, particularly in the
fields, for-the city's benefit free Of charge.

We wonder whether any statst or any
doctor in great practice knows accurately
whether there is any positive increase
among the educated classes in the num-
Der Of sudden deaths, by which we mean
deaths without any recovery Of conscious
ness from the moment Of seizure. We
fancy it is so, though the fancy may only
be born Of the special notice one accords
TO such events; and we fancy also, this
time with more certainty, that there is
a marked change in the manner in which
such incidents are regarded. Forty years
ago everybody who heard OF a death
among his acquaintance, like that Of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, deemed Il In
cumbent on him to profess, and In many
cases actually felt, sort Of horror which
to-day Is almost absent from mems minds.
Conventionalism on the subject Is ex-
tinct, no one deplores the audiences OF
the event, and those who speak frankly
say openly How terrible for the arch-
bishops relations but how fortunate for
him" The instructive wlncing or shlyer-
ing Of the mind seems. IN fact. TO have

suffering and Il ~ not uncommon 70 hear

The Wedding Didn,t Come OF.

It was expected that a marriage would
take place yesterday morning in Justice
Waring Russell, Jr.'s court but on ac-
count of the groom's impecuniosity, the
knot was left united until this morning,
when Frank McAlpin, now in Jail, and
woman. on whose charge of seduction he
languishes behind the bars, will be mar
ried. McAlpin is the negro who was
brought down from Augusta on a warrant
for seduction, sworn out before Justice
Russell and sent to that city to be served,
as it had been learned that McAlpin was
there.
The marriage will release the man from
jail, and his friends here will probably try

In the Litany, which, as they think, in
wolves petition to the Almighty against
sudden death IL by no means clear from
the context that they are not partially in
error. and that the prayer is not directed
against the death by violence which, at
the time 1t was written. was. of all sub
jects of apprehension, the most constant
and most reasonable. 1t is, of course, also
possible that the sentence is survival
from the days when to receive all the aids
the church could give to the passing
spirit was held to be of the last import
aHce, and men dread. as the brave Bre-
TIN soldiers still dread. nothing so much
as dying--like Hamets father-"un-

ever that may be, a change of feeling IS
very marked, and we are disposed to in
quire both when 1t arose and whether It is
beneficial.
