RUSH OF BUSINESS AT POSTOFfICE
Order Department Has Led in
Amount of Business. ~. ID
Money

There was an unusually large amount
of business at the Postoffice yesterday,
and the day preceding, and the officials
there were kept busy closing up the
month of August and beginning the
September business.
The business in the money order de-
partment has been unusually large, and
orders for large amounts have been
sent from the city. and almost equally
large orders have come here from other
sections. The business at this time is
greater than it has been in many years,
and this fact indicates that Savannah,
and Georgia as well. is in a very pros
porous condition, and that there is
plenty of money in circulation.
The last mail out Monday night was
an unusually heavy one. and carried
orders, whose aggregate was very high.

also been great rush. though there
has not been quite so much activity
here as in the money order department
The foreign mails have. steadily in
creased in volumn since about the mid
die of August, and every department
at the Postoffice is coming in for its
share of the rush Of business. The en-

month in previous years, as far as the
amount of business on hand is con-

A 1O-YEAR-OLD PoETEss.

The following lines were penned by
one Of Savannahs little misses who
has spent her ten summers in the
country. 1t is quite evident that close
communion with nature has had its
effect upon her young imagination:
Way down upon the shady river
We do softly row
To and fro, to and fro
We do softly row.
We talk of subjects solemn
OF subjects sweet and gay
AS we do softly row
On that sweet summer day.
The birds do softly sing their song
The flower petals on us fall
As we do row,
Softly to and fro.

length. The drop skirt having been
found somewhat unsatisfactory worn
with these short skirts, there is a ten
dency to a return to the lined and
slightly stiffened skirt. Taffeta, that
most indispensable of lining materials.
in the gun metal shades, will be the
fashionable foundation for the mixed
tweeds and rough mixtures. 1t is no
longer necessary to have skirt and
coat lined with the same color or ma

metal taffeta are sometimes used to
line skirts while the silver tones of

OF COURSE. THEY FArrEp.

The Portland Oregonian hasn't a very high opinion of the military abilities of Fremont and Mcclellan. Speaking of them, 1t says:
 Fremont had the same temperamental friends as Mcclellan. Fremont pursuing Jackson was a military Sir Fretful PIa- giary, while Mcclellan confronting Lee was always Sir Forcible Feeble The in their plausible explanations why they never were able to do anything in par ticular.
 If these Generals had given no other evidences Of military incapacity than those mentioned. 1t would hardly be fair to censure them. Fremont pitted against stonewall Jackson was about like send ing q lamb to fight wolf or a tiger. It is not discreditable to Fremont that he was no match for Jackson. and his fail- ures were no more marked than were those of some other Generals who tried to stand before the invincibIe leader. Fremont was not a great soldier in any sense of the word. but 1t isn't fair to set him down as a weakline merely because he was no match for Jackson.
 In the case of Mcclellan. the injustice of the comparison is still greater, for here a mediocre General was pitted against the greatest soldier of modern times. and failure was. inevitable. He was not the only Federal officer who found himself ,overmatched in Lee. Grant himself did little better until time en- abled him to wear the Confederacy out. From the time he took command of the army of the Potomac to Appamattox. his failures were monotonous. Fremont and Mcclellan were not great Generals, it is true, but something more should be adduced to prove their weakness than the fact that they were no match for Jackson and Lee.
