FRoLIC AT THE FORD.

Geography was horrible; the sweat-we
called it that
Bespoke common misery when Billy sig
nailed Pat,
Ewo stubby, grimy fingers uplifting on the
sly;
,ghereat wink significant distorted Pat
Kicks eye.
Then Billy turned to Cummins, and nar-
vey, and Depew,
ITO each ir turn displaying the mystic fin
gers two,
And lastly condescended, while the others
winked in glee,
60 show the mystic symbol to the least Of
ALTO me.
q ecstasy transcending whate'cr the fu-
ture stored,
when Billy bade me join him for frolic
at the ford!
Hhe hours till noon skunk by as il they
knew we wished them past;
1t seemed az though they'd never go
they did, of course, at last
And o, how cool the water was, and y,
how sweet the joy
That filled and thrilled the bosom Of each
Sweaty little boy,
When he had hung his trousers on the
nearest handy bough
And shut his lips and held his nose and
dove to 'show y how"
We ducked and splashed and wrested, we
foated, raced and tread,
And Billy Topped his feet aloft while
standing on his head;
Depew had brought up bottom from the
center of the pool,
When Harvey said he reckoned it was
time to go to school.
"Gee whizr' says Billy, first to quit,
chats something / forgot.
AN as [ live! my breeches are twisted in
a knot"
Mach rushed ashore and scurried to where
his garments hung,
Yhen sudden imprecations arose from
every tongue.
While we had wooed the cooling stream,
some envious sneak had gone
And tied our shirts and trousers so we
couldn't get 'em on.
~We're late" says Billy. ''Then," says
Pat, "just take your time to dress;
Wen fix 1t SOS to wander in at afternoon
recess.
An each O. y must gather g. bunch O.
purity flowers
AN give 'em t. the teacher er she'll keep
y after hours"
Hhe teacher worked for slender pay, so
far as money went;
Rhe prayed and played and pardoned and
seemed to be content,
But when a boy that loved her contrlVed
to let her know,
Ehs looked as if her gratitude was going
to overflow.
{ guess that she-no matter what.
When we six boys marched in,
bach one Of us a-grinning from eyebrows
down to chin,
And stopped in turn before her desk and
laid our flowers down,
We saw two tears start sudden in the
middle of her frown.
As I, the last and least Of all, went by,
with hair askew,
Bhe stopped and said: 81 love you, boys,
no matter what you do"
"SThese flowers" whispered Harvey, ARE
not so bad a PLAN"

middle ages was instructed in all
things by her husband, who is recon-

tons. There are one or two well-knoWn
republicans who are members of one of the
two bodies, but apparently very wisely
they remained away. Upon the adoption
Of the resolutions there was a loud and
unanimous aye" and copies of this en-
phatic protest viii be forwarded to-day in
accordance with the provisions in them.
capt. w. w. Williamson introduced this
resolution urging the city council to take
official action in behalf of the city pro-
testing against the appointment here of
any negro:
Whereas, it is currently reported that
John II. Deveaux Will be appointed to the
dictatorship of this port;
And, whereas, it is the sense of the
cotton exchange and board of trade, in
joint meeting assembled, that such an ap-
pointment would be highly injurious to
the best interests of the city of Savannah;
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
mayor and aldermen of the city of Savan-
nah be and are hereby requested. at their
next regular meeting, to take official ac-
ton in the premises, and to protest in
the name of the city as its official repre-
sentative, against this appointment or that
of any other person of color, and to trans
init to the President a certified copy OF
their action, under the seal of the city.
AS were the other resolutions, this was
unanimously adopted, without discussion.
A copy of these resolutions will be sent TO
the mayor and aldermen, and they Will
no doubt take the matter up at their meet
ing next week.
The real fight will not come up until
January, as the appointment will be made
some time in the latter part of that month.
Mr.. 4. f. Johnson was seen yesterday
relative to the report of his withdrawal
from the collectorship race, and his APP
plication for the postmastership. Mr..
johnson did not deny that he had so
changed his application, but he refused
positively to be interviewed upon the sub
ject.
A friend of Mr.. johnson stated, now
ever, that he was positive there mad oeen
no such thing as a combination between
him and DeveauX, and he was satisfied,
too, he said, that Messrs. johnson ana
Doyle were perfectly friendly. Mr.. Doyle
is of the opinion that he can beat DeVeauX
for the collectorship, and his friends think,
as between the two there will be no doubt
as to the result. What turn the situation
may take, however, remains to be seen
Mayor Meldrm was asked last hlSht
about the resolutions passed requesting
the city council to take action. He said
he had heard that such resolutions had
been passed, and when received they would
be placed before council for whatever ac-
ton that body should see fit to take. Prior
to that time, however, he did not thlnk
it proper for him to express any opinion
with regard to the matter.

PUPILS AND TEACHERS BUSY.
Holiday Examinations in Progress
in the Public Schools.

in the Publ1c SchOOIs.
The holiday examinations in the gram
mar schools began yesterday. Examina-
tons were held in all, the classes that
have history in their course of study.
Where there has been no history the reg
uIar order of work was continued.
The same plan will be pursued with re-
gard to geography to-day. All classes that
have geography will be examined in it.,
while the lower grades will continue their
usual work.
Examinations began last Friday in the
High school. All the classes were exam
ined yesterday in mathematics, algebra
and geometry, as the case might be, and
to-day it will be in Latin.
The teachers will be kept busy during
the next few days correcting the examin-
alton papers. The plan pursued last
summer by number Of them with adj
mirable results is being followed. 1t is
TO have several teachers unite for the
correction of the papers, one Of them TAX
ing one. two or three of the questions,
as the case may be, and devoting his at
tention exclusively to their correction. In
this way each teacher becomes expert in
the examination of the questions under
his particular attention, and the result is
the marks may be arrived at with greater
facility and in much less time.
The principals of some of the schools
are now trying the plan and are well
pleased with 1t.

made IN the open. There are some dis
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. If men only knew it, these
sneaklng diseases are more to be dreaded
than small pox or yellow fever. The
sneaklng disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood becomes
d1sordered and the body receives INSULT
Clent or improper nutriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brain fag, and
debility, and very likely falls victim to
that dread destroyer, consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he is in danger.
These sneaking diseases that undermine
mans constitution, and rob him of his
health are conquered by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It puts
strength into every fiber of the BODY and
replaces the lethargy of sickness with the
