1T seems that the noble exercise Of
horseback riding was in danger Of fall
ing into inocuous desuetude," said Mr..
II. B. Barney Of Baltimore at the
Raleigh. People who used to be en-
amored of the sport have in great meas
ure given it up. and many of the clubs
whose members used to dash across the
country on mettlesome chargers are no
longer in existancc. OF course, the
readiest explanation is TO charge up the
decline Of equestrianism to the bicycle,
and no doubt the wheel is largely re-
sponsible for the wandering love Of the
other sport. At the same time | do
not regard the disuse of the saddle horse
as anything more than a temporary
tendency 1t cannot be that people
will ever abandon such heslthful and
exhilerating form of recreation, and its
revival in the near future may be con-
6deutly predicted p"

Dewey is the third full admiral o. the
United States navy. He is the fourth,
his three predecessors in that exalted
grade having been Farragut, Porter
and John Paul Jones Jones was
created admiral after his exploits on the
British coast with Bon Homme Richard
over hundred years ago The grade
expired with him, as it did in turn with
Farragut and Porter, for each of whom
it was revived, as in the present case Of
Dewey.

State, but disease fastened upon the
regiment, and the soldiers were placed
ia such bad shape that they we're mus

LEFT HIS NATIVE TRIBE.
Banished by the Creeks or Went In

Banished by the Creeks or Went In
to Voluntary Exile.
Tomochichi was Greek by birth, but
had been banished, or had gone into vol
untary exile, many years previously. le-
cause of some political disagreement in the
nation, it is supposed. He took up his
abode at Yamacraw bluff. where he gath
cred around him disaffected members of
the Creek tribes, as we'll as the Yemas
sees, which tribe had been almost exterrni
mated by the Greeks. His tribe came IN he
known as the Yamacraws. That Tomo-
chichi was held in high esteem nv the
Creek chieftains, in spite of his Danish
ment, was shown by the high terms in
which they spoke OF him at the confer
enees held with Oglethorpe and by the in
fluence which he welded over them ana
exercised for the good of the colony.
In spite of his advanced age Tomochichi
was at the time of Ogiethorpe's arrival in
splendid health and Vigor. a man of sr,en-
did proportions and noble and tlignifed
mien. Two kings among men were met
when Oglethorpe and Tomochichi greeted
each other One the highest product of
the European civilization of his day. the
other the highest type of the native saw
age. Both were men of upright life Of
broad views and of nobility of mind ana
purpose. Tomochichts utterances. a num-
Der of which are on record. show him Ia
have possessed q breadth of mind hardly
to have been expected of a savage. He
seemed TO realize from the first the IN
ture greatness of the English speaking peo-
pies and the superiority OF their civiiiza-
ton TO thJt Of the Indian. With this
view he sought in every wav 10
promote friendship between the colonists
and the Indians and in this he was re-
markably successful. During his lifetime
and for years afterward there was no 60
rous conflict between the colonists Of
Georgia and the Indians.
The policy of Og}ethorpe toward the In
dams was broad and humane. and his In
turn was met with the wisdom and man
ence of Tomochichi, who was desirous that
the Indians should live in friendship with
the whites and that they should he ta,,s,bt
their ways. The history of Georgia avcn
down TO its later periods was remarkah,a

The government is making an inroad
into its supply of gold coin in paying on
the troops stationed at Savannah. The

portion that prevails in every shipment re-

More gold coin is in circulation in Sa-
vannah than has been known In many
years. Several of the regiments have been
paid off altogether or partly in gold and
the soldiers have not failed to make pur-
chases of the merchants. The gold has
been received in payment, and more of it
is on hand than has been seen for a long
time by bank tellers. Deposits are usually
in paper and silver, but gold now plays an
important part.

The Damage to the Vessel Greater
Than Was at First Reported.
A survey was held yesterday on the
British steamship Teviotdale, which went
aground below the blight Monday night
aud sustained considerable damage by be-
ing run into by the steamship City of Ma
con. The board of survey decided that
as soon as the vessel is sufficiently light
cred that she be brought up to the city
for further examination. She will moor
at the Savannah, Florida and Western
wharf. About $50 bales of cotton and quite
a quantity of phosphate rock have been
brought up.
The injury to the steamer is not alto
gether from the collision. In grounding
she was severely strained, her boilers and
engines being raised about six inches and
the bulkheads being strained so severely
that the riVetS in many places were
sheared off. The machinery was settled
back in position, but some of the steam
pipes are twisted so that it is doubtful if
the vessel can come up under steam. It
was expected that she would be lowed IN
last night but the tugs came up without
her. She will probably be towed IN to-
day.

Blanket tossing has become SO prevalent

here that even the colored washerwomen
who go among the soldiers plying their
vacations are not safe from the rather vio-

condition was tossed in the Fourth Vir-
ginia camp day before yesterday, and that
yesterday she died. With such serious re
suits following the indulgence, it would
