vOlved, and on which the court desired
to hear authority. He also took occa-
sion to state that the case was not to
be tried by the newspapers or by the
questions Of law which the reporters
and correspondents seem to think

the estate OF Z. Bresenick"

Savannah, May 25.--The market
this morning has shown greater &C
tIvity than for some time, to the sur
prise of the trade. Liverpool deYel-
oped distinctly reactionary tendency.
Futures there, after opening at prices
unchanged to 1-64 above yesterday g
close, gradually improved, and finally
closed at net advance at from 2 to ~
up for the day. There was, however,
no increase in demand for actual cot
ton, despite the advancing tendency of
futures. Meantime, if the firmness in
Liverpool is maintained our market
will, of course, be favorably affected,
as prices for the present at least are
governed by the character of foreign
advices.-Paine, Murphy & Co, Sa-

ST. SIMON RENDEZVOUS.
The Proposed Naval Militia Encampment Dis
cusSed Last Night.

The Torpedo division, Naval Militia,
held an enthusiastic meeting last
night, with thirty-fve men present.
The question of holding an encamp-
ment on st. Simon during the infantry
meeting instead of attending the rem
devious at Beaufort, was taken up.
and motion was carried to the effect
that this be done if the necessary ar
rangements can be made.
If possible warship will be Sc
cured, or at least an officer from the
navy detailed for the purpose of in
structior. The Passaic will be taken
into the sound and regular naval dis
cipline kept on board.
A committee, consisting of Ensign
Brown, Boatswain's Mate T.W. Wrench
and Burr Winton, was appointed to
form. with a similar committee ap-
pointed from the First division at it's
last meeting, joint committee to se-
lect two baseball nlnes, and from

NOTES.

1t is said that negotiations are now
in progress to secure from the navy
department modern guns for the Pas
sale.
If the naval militia encampment is
held on st. Simon it will be of some
direct benefit to our city, and as one Of
the most important of naval militia
drills is landing, from warships, at
tacking forces in boats, protected dur
ing the Decentralization by flre from
warships and cutters, why not have
as special attraction, as we'll as ben
eficlal drill, sham battle between the
infantry forces holding the island and
landing force of naval militia? Such
feature as that. If advertised, would
double the crowds at the island.

An oad Sporting Incident.

Among curious sporting incidents
should be recorded one told by John
Kent in his "Reminiscences of Good
wood, y where q horse loses a race from
being too far in front at the winning
post c. Greville, who was judge, was
seated on an erection SO far above the
level of the course that Dandizette pass
ed unnoticed by him, two or three
lengths in advance of Vite1lina and
Ghost, which were running Oh the oppO-
site side of the course. Ghost hung SO
much upon Vitellina as to endanger her
being driven against the rails, which SO
attracted Mr.. Grevile's attention that
he did not see Dandizette, and Boyce,
who rode the mare, asked Mr.. Grev1lle
if he did not win, stating that, although
he passed the post first by some lengths.
ne could have increased the lead had be
felt disposed. So apparent was the error
that Lord Verulam, the owner of Vitel-
lima, offered the Duke of Richmond the
stakes. Exchange. Fhn8 as

Nervous

People wonder why their nerves are SO weak;
why they get tired so easily; why they do not
sleep naturally; why they have frequent head
aches, indigestion and
Nervous Dyspepsia. The explanation is
simple. 1t is found in that impure blood feed
ing the nerves on refuse instead of the ele-
ments of strength and vigor. Opiate and nerve
compounds simply deaden and do not cure.
Hoods SarSaparilla feeds the nerves pure,
rich blood; gives natural sleep, perfect dges-
ton, is the true remedy for allneryous troubles.
