pearri in the News this morning. That
ho understands what he is talking about
is evident, and he puts his propositions
forward with a directness and earnest-
ness which will not fail to make a sensa-
tion. The questious under consideration
are of vital importance to both Galves-
ton and Houston, and the statements
made afford food for deliberation on the

Sunday School Concert.
The concert to be given by tho chil

Tuesday night next, will be the interest-
ing event of the week. The proceeds of
the concert are to go to the organ fund.

Young Ladles' Eutertaiiyneut.
We have seldom witnessed a more
successful entertainment than that of
tho young ladies, at Turner Hall, on
Friday night. As to the proceeds we
know nothing, but the house was full,
and we trust the good cause for which
the entertainment was give% has derived
substantial benefit from it.
All the characters of the cantata were
rendered by school girls, and many of
them came up to the standard of theatri -
cal boards, with the added charm of
girlish beauty. The programme opened
with Geo. D. Prentice's famous address
to the Closing Year, most admirably
given, and the rising curtain revealed
a New Year's Eve scene, with the Old
Year on a throne, and the Seasons,
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter,
addressing him. With the going out of
the Seasons came a little milkmaid, who
prettily repeated the old story, so famil-
iar to children, that gave birth to the
truism : " Never count your chickens
'till they're hatched !"
The second act presented the Old Year
again on the throne, while Father Time,
with hour-glass and scythe, calls up each
Season, to render an account of her la
bors. Spring offered the coronation of a
May Queen; Summer, a picnic scene
Autumn, a harvest scene, while Winter
presented Shepherdesses watching their,
tlocks, a golden star in the East, and an
Angel announcing the coming of the
Saviour.
Following tho second act, the audience
were gratified with a splendid recitation
of the '• Battle of Ivry," and the quaint
little song, " Never Court but One." The
r. citation ot the " Battle of Ivry " was
especially marked for grace and power
of declamation. In this the young girl,
Miss Edmondson, was the star of the
evening.
The third act opened with a Furewell
to the Old Year, from the Seasons
when the New Year, blushing, trembling
and beautiful, came in for the corona
tion, and Father Time and the Old Year
went ont. together. A grand chorus wel-
comed the New Year, and the children
irrouped about the throne as the curtain
fell.
Tho entertainment was brilliant, with
many features of the highest iuterest
The addresses of the Seasons were espe
cially beautiful, and the entire pro-
gramme far exceeded what should rea
sonably have been expected from young
girls.
At the close of the cantata a few hours
were passed in delightful dancing, many
of the girls retaining such grotesque
character di esses that they added a fan
ciful appearance to the surroundings.
Should be Cleared.
The sidewalks of Market street
should be cleared. Brick, mortar, sand
and lumber are scattered along, to the
great inconvenience of pedestrians. Cer-
tain sections have been blocked for
months, without perceptible improve-
ment. Parties should complete their
pavements at once, and clear the walks
of rubbish.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
grand plaza or public Square. Different
kinds of trees are putting in an appear-
ance, while workmen are incessantly en-
gaged filling up within the inclosure.

The Surf.
The surf was rolling beautifully yes-
terday, with high waves wreathed into
fantastic curves, and the spray falling in
showers. The innumerable voices of the
waters broke into rolls, like far off thun-

! while observers could not fail to note
j that onr beach is attractive even in win-

As improvement is the order of the
day in Galveston at present, enterprising
] and thoughtful citizens will remember
the coming summer, and prepare in time
for surf-bathing. If this preparation is
deferred until warm weather, it will then
be too late to provide substantial conve-
niences and utilize them for the imme-
diate season.

A Good Year's Wohk.-A11 who are in-

Tho agents have been diligent and
faithful in their work, and have generally
secured larger resul ts than in previous
years.
The number of new policies issued have
been over ten thousand. The assets have
increased by more than a million and a
quarter dollars, and amount to over $19,-
000,000. The amount of payments by the
half-note plan has diminished, while the
number of insurers who pay only in cash
is steadily increasing.
The sum paid to representatives of the
deceased is about $1,500,000, to some 550
families.
The 50,000 jEtna policy holders may
congratulate themselves on assured pros-
perity. The directors never forget that
the chief object of the company is the se-
curity of the insured. An economical
management, safe investments, and an
ample reserve, give a pledge to all insur-
ers that the promises of the company will
never be broken. For information or

The Savings Bank.—Nothing perhaps
indicates tiie general prosperity of ou
community more than the healthy show-
ing of the Island City Savings Bank
which declares again a :l per cent, divi
dend, as will be seen by their notice
This makes 8 per cent, dividi nd since
last J illy.
This institution merits the good will
and patronage of our people. It affords
the only opportunity of depositing small
amobnts, which, if not placed in a safe
depository, would, in all probability, be
uselessly expended, besides encouraging
the habits of prudence and economy
among the young.
This Saving s Bank's influence has
been extending itself—not alone in our
own city, but elsewhere in the State, and
deposits are coming in from abroad. It
allows interest ou deposits, and accepts
and cares for the smallest earnings of
the industiious. Its prosperity does not
provoke the jealousy of banks and bank-
ers, because it receives the small deposits
which they have to decline and, while
gree the laboring classes.
Its management has been admirable,
and there is connected with it one among
the soundest and most unexceptionable
business men in our community. As a
public, and, in some degree, benevolent
institution, we heartily wish it success,
and that it will continue to grow with
our increasing commercial prosperity, we
feel perfectly certain.
It is only within the last couple of
years that some lines of business have
began to assume metropolitan propor-
tions. A strictly speaking first-class
bookstore, stationery printing and book-
binding establishment did not then exist
in the city. Now there are several, but
none, that in point of style and finish of
work, varied stock, etc., compare with
Ribinson & C'o's., Strand. Their line of
school books and stationery is simply
" complete "—modesty forbids us saying
too much on the score of their printing.
Tableaux and Supper at Turner
Hall.—The ladies of Trinity Church
propose giving an entertainment on
Tuesday evening next, at Turner Ilall,
•onsisting of a series of tableaux ; after
which, a supper will be served out on
the restaurant plan, where all the deli-
cacies of the season can be had. The ob-
ject of this entertainment is for the pur-
pose of raising money to build a chapel
on the old rectory corner.
W. W. Carre & Co., of Houston, are
now offering their stock of dressed Yel-
low Pine and Cypress Lumbers at prices
to suit the times, and will fill at the
shortest notice all orders for rough ma-
terial of any kind, size or length.
At the Bird Cage Saloon, presided over
by the ever-popular Geo. Dirmeyer, will
be commenced to-day those appetizing
hot lunches, which have made the name
of the "Bird Cage" famous among the
epicures of Galveston. The finest liquors
and cigars are kept at the bar.
The essential principi.es of the New
Theology taught in the writings of Eman-
uel Swedenborg, are these -.
1. God is One in Essence and in Person,
in whom is a Divine Trinity of Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, and the Lord Jesus
Christ is this God, and tho only true ob-
ject of worship.
2. The Word of God, or Sacred Scrip-
ture, is holy and divine in the letter and
in the spirit; is the only authority in
matters of faith, and the source of all
wisdom to angels and to men.
3. In order to be saved, man must shun
all evils as sins against God, and live ac-
cording to the Ten Commandments.

RUSTEE'S SALE.
Removal.—The spacious store on Tre-
mont street, near Market, recently occu-
pied by I. Bernstein & Co., has been
leased by Messrs. Ilarral & Co., who have
removed from their old stand, where
they were somewhat crowded for room.
The intention of this firm is to furnish
the finest imported and domestic wines
and liquors, in any quantity desired —
from a glass to a barrel; in a word, to do
a first-class wholesale and retail liquor
business. Consumers will find that a
considerable saving can be accomplished
by doing business with W. Ilarral & Co.
Papeiis, Periodicals, Etc. — The
stock of periodicals, late papers, stand-
ard works and fancy articles at Mason's
is large and interesting. The mail this
morning will bring additional supplies ;
and we can do our readers no greater
service than to advice them to call at the
favorite corner and make their pur-
chases.
Tiie Turko-Russian Baths.—Since
the reduction in price of the Turko-
Russian Bath, the patronage of the excel-
lent institution has increased consider-
ably. The benefits derived from the use
of these baths is acknowleged by all
who have tested them, and we counsel
those who have not experienced the
pleasures, as well as the curative bene-
fits of this inrditution, to fry them at
once.
The Self-Interpreting Family Bi-
ble.—We called attention to this work
some ten days ago, and find it of still
greater value, as a book of ready refer-
ence in all that pertains to Scripture
reading and study, than we then compre-
hended. Mr. Wood has been successful-
ly canvassing the city in its interest,
and success herein means more than in
ordinary cases. Every person, doubt-
less, who has been approached, being
already supplied with a Bible, or even a
plurality of Bibles; yet, the rare merits
of this edition, persuasively reminding
them that they needed just one more.
The illustrations offer a striking contrast
to those which in many Bibles outrage
taste, history, and nature. Several of
these are after Gustave Dore. The great
merit, however, is the carefully selected
apparatus, constituting it a Biblical Li-
brary in itself.

The Ship Channel—What Is It*
A good deal of discussion has been
had, and many thousands of dollars have
been collected on account of what the
promoters of the project have been pleas-
ed to call the Ship Channel; but, so far
as any practical results are concerned,
the " Channel " exists only in the imagin-
ation of the gentlemen who have been
managing the affairs of the company.
The writer may fairly presume to bo
as conversant with the past and present
condition of the route of navigation be-
tween the wharves of Galveston and the
landings at Houston, as any living man,
and he, unhesitatingly, asserts that the
navigation, instead of being improved,
has been materially damaged, since 1886,
and the worst impediments are daily
growing more and more formidable.
It may not be impertinent in this con-
nection to inquire what disposition has
been made of the $400,000, which the
company have received from the city of
Houston and from wharfages collected.
The Direct Navigation company have,
since the chartering of the company,
seven years ago, paid $130,003 wharfages,
all of which went into the coffers of the
Ship Channel Company. The schooners,
barges, etc., trading to Houston in the
same time, have paid $70,000 more ; the
City Council of Houston loaned the Com-
pauy $130,000 bonds at one time, r nd
$100,000 at another, making the round
sum of $400,000. No such sum has been
expended in improving the channel.
Of the above sum, the company ex-
pended some $40,000 in the bayou, be-
tween Houston and Ilarrisburg, and the
water is less in depth than it was before
there was a lick of work done. One of
the Direct Navigation Company's steam-
ers grounded last week- on thirty inches
between the railroad bridge and the
wharf, at Houston. Where there was
Uy r^v„fe)iLof water thirty-four years ago,
inches! What havo the managers of the
Ship Channel Company to say to that 1
One of the boats and barges of the Hous-
ton Direct Navigation Company lost four
days' time, last week, by grounding be-
tween the railroad bridge and the
wharf at Houston, entailing a loss of
$5000, and, as the writer conceives, for no
other reason than that the plausible
President and Superintendent of the
Ship Channel Company, Major Cave, has
been spending his time and the com-
pany's money, endeavoring to so shape
the course of events as to secure from
the Legislature an appropriation of lands
equal to 600,000 acres, instead of watch-
ing the changes in the bayou and apply-
ing the remedy as impediments present
themselves.
It will be well for the tax payers of
Houston to bear in mind that the wharf-
ages paid to the Ship Channel Company
is just that much taken out of the treas-
ury of the city and passed to the credit
of the Ship Channel Company, for which
no equivalent has yet been "offered, and
nothing is in prospective. Major Cave,
on behalf of the Ship Channel Company,
desires an appropriation from the Legis-
lature, of 600,000 acres of land, for ac-
count of wo-k done and to be done on
the bay and bayou between Galveston
and Houston. If this was not a
matter of great concern to the interests
of the whole State, it might be consider-
ed a huge joke. Let us see what has
been dono to entitle the Ship Channel
Company to make these pretensions. The
I nited States Government expended
$10,000 last year in digging a canal
through Red fish Bar. This canal was
seventy five feet wide and twelve feet
deep, and now affords ample water for
all purposes. This canal was incom-
plete when the appropriation was ex-
pended last summer, and the Direct Nav-
igation Company finished it by driving
one hundred piles, and so directing the
course of the current as to cause it to
wash the channel out to a width of sev-
enty-five feet more, making the channel
through the west pas3 of Redfish Bar
one hundred and fifty feet wide. The
Ship Channel Company had nothing
to do with this work, never expended a
dollar on it, but now puts in a claim for
compensation iu the way of land dona-
tions from the State, as if all the work
done had been done at the expense of
the Ship Channel Company, they claim-
ing that this channel commences at Gal-
veston and terminates at Harrisburg and
Houston, If Major Cave's political re-
cord was not above suspicion, he might
be claimed by the Radicals as one of
their own sort, and the modest request
made by him for this land grant be
urged as a valid indorsement of his right
to admission to their ranks !
No man has worked harder for the in-
terests of those navigating the bay and
bayou than the writer of this card. He
professes to be conversant with all that
has been done, and, if experience brings
knowledge, his opinions are entitled to
respect as to what should have been left
undone. After watching the changes
made through natural causes in Buffalo
Bayou, extending over a period of thirty-
five years, and those produced by illy-
advised work on the banks and on the
bottom of the baj-ou, candor and a regard
for the best interests of the people inter-
ested in the navigation of the bay and
bayou, compels him to assert that the
channel has been materially damaged by
the work done, and that the navigation
is infinitely more precarious and uncer-
tain than it was before the Ship Channel
was projected.
