When Cockren Wa. FIoored.

Some amusing stories are told of Sena-
tor Cockrens acquaintance with the peo-
pie. Senator Vest, after a canvass of the
state with him, said he was satisfied that
CockreR S brigade was larger than all the
rest of the Confederate army, and that
there were enough of them in Missouri
alone to keep him In the Senate for life
1t is told of the senior senator, recalls
the Columbia Herald, that there was just
a bit of guile in his method of remem-
herring peoples names. A number of years
ago a large crowd ehad assembled to hear
him speak. Before beginning his address
and while the band was playing, he asked
a prominent citizen iof the place to cast
his eye over the multitude and see II he
could find any members of the old Cock
rell brigade A few were pointed out to
him. Give me their first names" said
the senator. They were given Which
one is most active in podtics?' he anx-
iously inquired. a large fellow whom we
win cali Bill Jones was designated. After
the senator had finished his speech he
dropped down into the crowd and rushing
up to Jones exclaimed: "Why how are
you, jim God bless you, old fellow, you
don't know how glad I am to see you"
OF course, Jim was amazed but greatly
ffattered, and the next day was working
. for Cocl1rell like a beaver. "Why, boys"
he would say "the old general knew me
as soon as he saw me, and called me Jim
before / could open my mouth.
1t is told by him, however, that he once
got badly caught. He had been talking at
country picnic with an admiring con-
stituent, and after vainly trying to ascer-
tain the mans name without exciting sus-
picion, and discovering that he was soon
to be compelled to betray his ignorance,
he squarely asked the constituent See
here, what is your name?"
why, Smith, general; don't you know
me?"
oh certainly" answered the general
quickly. q know it is Smith, but which
one of the boys are your"
Why, general" answered Smith, in an
injured tone, Il thought you knew that
my father had but one chld?" For the
first time the general is said to have been

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The building of docks, wharves and
warehouses on Hutchinson's Island by
the Georgia and Alabama Railway means
a great deal more to Savannah than many
persons may think. 1t means the build
ing up of a town on the island, and the
development there of shipbuilding and mill
industries. 1t is proposed by the railway
company to run steam ferry from the
city to the island, from the foot of Bull
street. This will stimulate industrial
growth on the island, and will eventually
lead to the building of a bridge across the
river for passenger and vehicle traffic.
Such a bridge would not present a diff
cult engineering problem. The high bluff
on the city side of the river would give
very nearly, if not quite, ele-
walton enough for all except
large vessels to pass without open
ing the draw. on the island side there is
ample room for easy approaches. The city
end of the bridge could be located at the
foot of either Barnard Whitaker or Alb
ercorn street.
With a bridge across the Savannah river
and another across Back river (and the
latter would not need to be an expensive
structure), and the two bridges connected
by good road across the island the fer
tile and well populated county of Beau
fort. in South Carolina, would be added
sto the territory easily tributary to Savan-
nah.
The probabilities are that a bridge across
the river at the city will become necessary
at no distant day. and the city and county
authorities would do well TO look to the
end of building one as soon as the i'm
provements on the island justify the ex-
penditures that would be necessary.

THE OUTLETS FOR SEWAGE.

The communication of Health Officer
LeHardy in another column. respecting
the outlets for the sewage from the new
house drainage system is well worth the
careful attention of the authorities and
the people 1t presents the matter in very
plain language but the language Is proba-
bly, not too plain considering the import
ance of the subject.
The wisdom of constructing the outlets
according to the proposed plan is combat
ted by DIR. LeHardy, in his usual forceful
style, and his letter should receive the
consideration which IS due to him as an
expert in sanitary matters and an officer
devoted 10 the welfare of the city.
While it might be possible to remedy
the mistake of discharging sewage at the
wharves, should it be found a mistake af-
ter trial, it would probably be better to
look into the matter very carefully now,
in order to minimize the chances of making
a mistake in the first instance.

THE SEVENTH AMY CoRPs.

The Seventh Army Corps is now en-
camped at this city 1t is a model Ameri-
can army. 1t is composed of about an
equal number of men from Northern,
Southern and Western sections, and it
would take an eye more than human to
discern from the appearance of the sol
diers, what part of the country they came
from. They are indeed, typical American
volunteer soldiers, and to look at them is
to experience a feeling Of pride that the
country is defended by such sturdy,
intelligent men.
The great majority Of the men in ranks
and very many of the officers are quite
young. Some of them, indeed, are just
nursing inciplent mustaches; nevertheless
they are characterized by good faces and
leve1sheads SCI upon broad shoulders sup
ported by strong legs. Hundreds of these
young men left comfortable homes and
positions carrying fair salaries to serve
their country They are chips off the Old
blocks;" they are Of the same stamp as
the Americans who have heretofore fought
and suffered for what they believed 10 be
right. and on a hundred fields illustrated
the vaIor of the soldier of a democratic
republic.
The officers Of the corps, from the gall
liant general commanding on down the line
are gentlemen of the sort that one de-
lights to meet They entered the service
from about every walk in life There are
among them lawyers, doctors, merchants,
politicians, accountants. journalists, me-
chanies, etc, but for the time being they
are all soldiers with one purpose in view
and that to serve their country faithfully.
While discipline requires that there shall
be a social line drawn between the sol
der who wears shoulder-straps and the
soldier who carries a gun, there should
be no lines drawn by civilians in their
treatment of the soldiers. The polite and
gentIemanly non-commissioned officer or
private soldier should receive at the hands
of the citizen the same courteous treat
ment that would be extended to a SUI
perior officer We people of Savannah
know that the privates from this city who
enlisted in the two Georgia regiments were
deserving of all consideration on the part
of civilians anywhere; and the privates
of the Seventh Army Corps were drawn
from similar surroundings. In short, we
should feel towards these boys in blue"
whether of blue" or gray" ancestry,
and whether they wear shoulder-straps or
not. that they are the defenders of our
country-are our defenders-and that they
are entitled to consideration as such.
If anyone would like to see model
American army, and the typical American
soldier that person should spend day
or two in Savannah while Lees corps
is here.

A poor woman who kept a small shop
in a Northern village and who was
troubled with a husband who could
scarcely be considered credit to the fam
lily, one day found herself a widow
through the sudden demise of her spouse,
says the Chicago Herald. A lady, who
frequently made small purchases at the
shop called to see her and 10 offer her
sympathy, though well knowing that the
mans death must in a certain sense come
as a relief, as the wife had often suffered
from his violence. She was not, however,
quite prepared for the stoical way in
which the wife took her bereavement.
Said the lady:
Il ap sure, Mrs. G., you must miss
your husband?'
We'll, mum, it do seem queer to go into
the shop and find something in the till"
