Notes By the Way.
A trip by one of the splendid steamships of the New England & Savannah Line,from Boston to Savannah, is quite ajluxury. So after having spent a couple of days in Bos- ton we concluded to take in the aforesaid trip.
On the 10th January weleft Boston by the City of Macon, H. B. Lewis, master. The City of Macon is an iron ship of 2100 tons, built at Chester, Penn., in 1877. This line comprises ten steamships plying be- tween Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Savannah.
Amoug the crew of the City of Macon we found three Islanders, namely, D. J. Music, Chief Steward; Miss Trainor, Stewardess, and Frank McKearney, who was,this trip, promoted to third class assist- ant Engineer.
Mr. Music, the Steward, has been in the employ of this Company for six years, and is a young man who thoroughly understands his business from the lowest rung of the culinary ladder up te the bountifully sup- plied dinner table over which he presides. About two years ago he was promoted to his present responsible position. Mr. Music is a general favorite with all who have occasion to travel by the City of Macon.
Mr. Doane, first officer, Mr. Phillips, | Chief Engineer, and the Purser, Mr. C. E. Hall, are all first-class men; in fact we
| sociable lot of officers. Purser Hall took | us in charge and allowed us the use of his | room. Weelevated ournnumber nines on his j desk, borrowed his tobacco, slapped him on
the back, and called him ‘‘ old hoss,” all of | which he bore with wonderful fortitude and | Christian resignation.
We had suimer weather on the trip | down, and made Tybee, at the mouth of | the Savannah River, at 9 o’clock Sunday (night. “Here we had to lay to some four ‘hours and await the flood tide before we ‘could get up to Savannah—the River being ‘narrow aud “shallow ships of a large
draught of water cannot go up at low tide. : The steamers of the N. E. & 8. Line are }all provided with powerful electric head- jiights, so that they can go up the river at | night as well as in daylight, that is if the tide suits. | By daylight we are_moored_to the wharf, ‘and we grab our collar box and wend our | way up the city. | Savannah (or the ‘* Forest City” as the | Georgians call it) lies on the west bank of ;the Savannah River, eighteen miles from |itsmouth. It claims a population of 41,000. | The river is shallow, crooked and narrow— | not over 150 or 200 yards wide. Its waters | are a dirty reddish color, owing to the /nature of its bed, It has no banks to speak ' of, and marshes extent right and left with a growth of tall grass down to the water's i edge.
Savannah is a very pretty city, with ‘regular streets and shade trees of water and | lime, oak, magnolia, sycamore, pride of India, and pine, which meet overhead and ‘form a fine shade from the heat of the sun. | There are beautiful grassy squares scattered ‘everywhere over the city; the chief one, ‘however, being Forsyth Park, which is one of the most popular of the local attractions ,of Savannah. [t contains twenty acres of | original forest and is handsomely laid out | with gravelled walks, fountains, ete.
Bull street is a handsome avenue over a ‘mile in length from the wharves on Bay | street to Forsyth Park, where it terminates. Ori each squace on Bull street are costly ‘statues erected to prominent people who | have figured in the history of the city, and beyond Forsyth Park is a monument to the ; Confederate dead. | The principal streets running across are | Bay, Congress, South, Broad and Liberty, ‘and those running north and south are 'East and West, Broad, Houston, Haber- ‘sham, Abercorn, Bull, Whitaker, Barnard, . Jefferson and Montgomery. | The churches of Savannah are numerous, ' costly and attractive, and there are a great ‘many hotels. The DeSoto, nowin course of erection, will cost over a million dullars, ‘and will not be completed before 1892. It is intended to intercept tourists who now | winter in Florida. A new Post Office and ‘Court House will also be built shortly, and ithe work of concreting the streets is now ; going on. | ‘The unpaved streets are nothing ‘sand into which one sinks ankle deep: Tybee Island, at the mouth of the river,
’
but
‘and eighteen miles from the city, is a great
Sunday resort, excursion trains running thereto. Bonaventure Cemetery and the Thunderbolt Road, three miles out, are also visited by numbers of people. For sublime grandeur of scenery those places are unsurpassed.
The peculiarities of Savannah are mules, goats, sand and negroes. The nigs of all ages ‘‘tote” huge baskets of oysters, oranges and vegetables on their _ heads through the city, and one hears the cry of ‘‘Oystah, buy ’em,” Cabbage, buy ‘em, late and early.
Besides the ordinary electric light, they here have twenty-three triangular iron towers 160 feet high, upon each of which are three electric lights. These are intend- ed to light up the darker streets and alleys, but it appears to us the lights are too far up in the clouds to serve the purpose for which they were intended.
Savannah is a great shipping port. The chief exports being cotton, corn, rice pine and guano. The edor which emanates from the piles of guano about the docks is some- thing which must be felt to be fully appre- ciated.
There are two lines of street cars—the City and Suburban, and the Belt Line. | Mules are used for drawing the cars instead of horses. The cars do not appear to be ovei crowded. : j
The city has waterworks, the water being | taken from artesian wells, and is very pure.
The weather here is delightful. The!
oC
trees, excepting a few varieties, are green | with foliage, flowers are in bloom, and we} can hardly realize that it is January. Thej| temperature ranges from 60 to 70, and
‘never fell in with a more pleasant and:
there is almost continuous sunshine. We -have had afew warm rain showers, after which the streets dry up almost immediately, owing to the sandy nature of the soil. _ The weather since we have been here has been superb, and compares with P. E. Island June weather—only more so.
Savannah is said to be a very healthy | place summer and winter, but we saw where the enterprising patent medicine man had been using his brush on the fences and walls in the ican significant man- ner :—‘** Use Hall’s Chill Cure,” “Try Smith’s Bile Bean Cure for Chills and Malaria,” from which we draw our own inference.
This is about a!l I know regarding the ** Salwanners.”

C. P. R. Earnincs.—The gross earnings of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888 were slightly in excess of 13 millions. The work- ing expenses were upwards of 93 millions, leaving net profits of more than 3] millions, as compared with profits of 34 millions in 1887. This statement does not include the earning and expenses of lines acquired during 1888.
ionenitatitaieaiagiies Joop Time.—The Stanley made the run from Pictou to Georgetown on Saturday m about two hours—not a bad trip for the 2nd February. The present year beats all records for return trips. The best looked for in the past after the middle of January were tri- weekly runs. Those who profess to know think it probable that the steamer will run all winter. We are still doubtfal.
chuianddipibiicl A Mean Trick.—Some person has been stealing coal from the shed of a policeman who resides in the vicinity of Upper Queen street, and as a result the supply is likely to give out long before the usual time. The officer is now on the war path and threatens to make it hot for the guilty person if he can find him out. We do not blame the officer. Next to cheat- ing @ newspaper man, stealing coal from a policeman is about as mean a business as a person could be engaged in.
focal UETTEN Resurtpinc JeRvsaLeM.—The latest re- ports say that Jerusalem continues >to grow quite rapidly. New buildings are rising daily. The Rothchilds have completed a new hospital. Close beside it there is a new Abyssinian church. The Russians are also great builders. They have erected anew church, consulate, lodging houses for pilgrims of the Orthodox National Churches, and an hospital. Near to the Russian group stands the “‘German House” for German Roman Catholics, from whose top the German and the Papal flag float side by side. The Rue- sians have also built a high tower upon the Mount of Olives, from whose summit the Mediterrenean and the Dead Seacan both be seen,
