Cur CvKiic, iconk, L'o:;jfCiMcus Coj respcadtt From i'riif Gtfe Whiz- We experience uo difficulty in considering ourself as being regularly installed in B'achelor Headquarters, No. 2, Sarannah, c Ga. Thij is a brief, short, con 'cise, laconic, compendious way of saying that recently we ehook the Tar Heel dust from our pedal exaggerations, and came way down "souf," journeying luxuriously in a "layered'' car. Gee Whiz! but didn't we go? liven faster traveling than jog ging along tn a-sore-backod mule without -bridle or saddle. Yea, we went so fast that some little niggers picking cotton near the rail side did not appear to be more than half grown.- Savannah 'is. worthy to be style ' "Bicyclers Delight," since it has several asphalt streets. Oglethrope Avenue has two asphalt roads with a grass and tree border between. So one can ride both a 'gwine and a comm.' One is to "keep to the right as the law directs." We went a wheeling soon after ar riving'. Intent on exploring portions of . the city, for some , time we did not notice that the sun was setting in the east. This little anomally did not cause us any inconvenience, however, whereas no difficulty was'expori enced in going where desired. In due process of time we suc ceeded inducing the sun to rise and set as it does in-North Caro lina. Then thinking the city safe for a season, we boarded the "State of Texas" bound for Baltimore. A halcyon voyage .Madam Ocean frothed and foamed at the mouth as our ship SQuddcd over the bosom of her briny depths; but she did. not kick us out, like a spirited house maid applying an- overgrown pedal extremity to be reversi ble end of an vuMTetding Tom cat. It is certainly a novelty to a farmer landsman to o out of sight of land a whole day, and have no genuine country n:ud on his shoes for vr. cut 're week. An ordinary vest-pocket dictionary would seem in jidrnuate to rAy on for1 wards -to describe graphically, the many interesting sights dis cernible in a voyage over the Atrntfc and Chesapeake. Num erous vessels in part.at Balti more: -Hany beautiful with" .stately roasts. Steam tugs hurrying to anii Uo like sd many ducks. Our ship unloaded t differeut piers. Having lot our 1 steam go dowfi, trie tug, "Mary,'; cjtJ around and modestly com menced moving cvfr ship, where upon the tug '"Wm. A Johnson," can flying and laid hold in ver table masculine style. "Bill Johnsot;" .tut."l lo'.;o V t.V; last and let "idary" haul our sUtp , alou; side the pier. Then "BUlr Johnson" blew a blast which fairly jarred the Chesapeake, as if to say 'just see what. me tvnd Sal's done. However, there seemed to be some excusa for boasting since the tugs were eo small pompared with the ship. It -was an interesting spectacle to behold a huge ship go by at night, casting "its search lignt about in different directions,' like some prodigious .monster prowling around, and shining its eyes about for some possible prey, or to us ca loss barbarous simile like a mammoth giant looking about over 'the road to avoid stepping on some humbler creature. The light revealed in the distance vessels of different sorts. Sometime. it showed the smooth surface of the bay where no. vessel was plying. So the bier ship steamed on, looking about, as it wove, and avoided coming into contact with a hum ble vessel carrying no light-. When wc had reached Savan nah again, we discovered that a young woman of Atlanta was conspiring wTith the senior mem ber to put an end to bachelor headquarters No. 2, sendiii her measure for an engagement ring, the recipient declared that a ring according to that measure would go around her arm. Our sug gestion that she had measured a big toe instead of a ring, finger did not afford an acceptable so lution of the difficulty. Atlanta girls must be whoppers if they have bodies in pre rtiou to tho size of fingers. This same secdir member recently closed a deal for a matrimonial "pullet" in the region referred to. Making a special expedition thither, he found that the callow birdling was snoozing contentedly, under the mother wing. So he re turned empty handed.

He came home much relieved. Mr. 'Bond is working for Mr. George S. Kluttz. The dog acted strangely and in trying to confine it Mr. Bond was bitten on the hand. The dog was killed. . X. ST. PETERSBURG" UOKROK. Forty People Killed by a Crashing Floor. A St. Petersburg dispatch of the 9th gives an account of a dis aster like that of Richmond, Va., in 1870. There was a religious feast and 5,000 pilgrims had come to worship. A great number, was packed in a two story house to sleep. During the night the upper story gave way and crashed down upon the sleepers below. Thirty-six women and four men were killed and twenty persons were injured; Robbed uie Grave. A startling incideut is narrated hy John Oliver, of ' Philadelphia, as fol lower "I was in an awful condition. ?Jy sliin waa almost yellow," eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back oud sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day.
