CHICAGO, III., Jan. 9.-Last night's fire in the World's Fair grounds produced greater changes in the appearance *of Chicago's famous pleasure park thou six months moviugof the buildings. The casino where thousands spent delightful hours watching the gay scenes upon and about the grand basin was wholly destroyed. Of the peristyle once illumined wiih thousands of incandescent lights, and Greek fire and furnishing end less enjoyment, nothing remains. Its arches were burned away and its stately columns, half burned and charred, lie in a confused wreck upon the brick promenade which surrounds it. The colossal figures which surmounted it top pled to the ground when the sup ports burned away and are broken in pieces. Columbus and his her alds with their war horses and chf.rists are unrecognizable among the mass of ruins. Music hall is ?Kewise a melancholy heap of ashes save here and there where an iron girder protrudes through a portion of it. Nothiog was saved from the flames. All about the walks are strewn with debris, charred brands which the wind blew from the burning buildings and little piles of white ashes where some of the brands were consumed after falliug. The man ufacturers' building, both within and without, presents a sight not desired either by the artist or ex hibitors. The lattice .work be tween the top roof and the curved one covering the central aisle OL the east side was burned away from a point above the southern end of the United States section south to the one above the Russia section. Upon the tin and glass arched roof lie half burned boards which formed pa?t of the lattice, and which, when loosened by the firo..^slid downward. '. Iaside_ the_ building the appearance was worse than upon the roof. Within the region burned over, and for some distance on either side, the floor is covered with water. Standing in the water, which at some places is two inches in depth, are innumer able boxes containing precious wares, baled and bound for re shipment as soon as they could be released from bond. Upon and about them lie the non-destroyed decorations of the pavilion. The French, Belgian, and English sec tions suffered most, and in the space occupied by them is to be seen the most disastrous results. The scene iuside of the great manufacturer's 'milding was of absorbing interest. Here and there were seen boxes with their tops half burned th.'ough but their contents safe except for the water that leaked into them. A few timbers in the roof were still burn ing and smoking. A rough estimate places the loss on buildings at about $800,000. No estimate of the Joss on exhibits can be given until the cases con taining the goods are examined. One of the most significant signs of the times as showing the drift on the part of the federal judiciary in gr ispjug at power and as show ing the necessity for some federal legislation restraining the arrogant assumptions of these federal judges, is shown in a recent extra ordinary injunction issued by Judge Jenkins, of the United St?tes Court, in aid of. the re ceivers of the Northern Pacific road to prevent a strike. The re ceivers adopted a new schedule of wages to go into effect Jan. 1st re ducing wages from 5 to 10 per cent. All the employees, 3,000 in num ber, refused to accept the reduced wages and proposed to go on a strike on the 1st inst., aud this federal judge issued an order be forehand enjoining tl tem from st rik. %ngi or, as the order itself expresses is, from ucombining and conspiring to quit the service of the road,11 This is the most extraordinary order ever yet issued by any judge, federal or State, in this country. A federal judge in Michigan did is-ue an injune? on in the case of the strike on the Toledo and Ann. Arbor road last winter after it was in progress, but no judge has ever before issued an injunction to prevent a strike. It is the boldest and most daring stretch of power that has yet startled the country. It is a blow at organized labor in all its forms. It practically says to these men that they cannot quit the service of the railroad at th pleasure. It makes them the sla\ of the road, as much the chat property of the road, as the negrc ever were in the South. If a fe eral judge can by injunction p: vent an organized body of labore from quitting the service of th< employers, how long will it be I fore that same judge will by an i junction attempt to prevent the from organizing at all, and if '. eau do that, what is to prevent hi from issuing au injunction to pi vent agriculturalists and oth kindred vocations from organi ing? These federal courts ai federal judges are becoming mo and more the unscrupulous toe of monopolies and the mom power and are verifying the pr diction of Mr. Jefferson that tl greatest danger to our institutioi lay in these federal courts. The [are damning up the waters of tl wrath of au outraged people an some day it will break loose an will sweep them away in its floo and, mayhap, everything else wit it. If Congress is wise enough f foresee the cloud that is no bigge than a man's hand now and enact some needed legislation to corree the evil, the coming storm may t averted.-People's Advocate. Edgelield Echoes. Kev. E. Alston Wilkes in S. C. Advocate. I have reached theappoiutmen; My good young brother and 6o; in the gospel, Verdier, is drivin through the country that faithfu though net faultless anima known as Dash. The horse sine the mountain scrape in Augus last has manifested a peniten spirit, and I think if there b some heavenly Eden of pasture! green for horses after this faithfu itinerating existence he may yet bi saved. I am in Edgefield, in i place called Parksville. The settlement is nigh unto the valley o Savannah as thou goest to Augusta This section of our immortal Stab has evinced in years and ages pas T?l?^s?TittT?r ; ontne" ?otly "con tested field of carnage ; in times of peace and harmony ; during ar election for President. It's a sort of dark and bloody ground, so tc speak. I overheard a fellow arguing earnstly, and actuall}' af he concluded he cussed. Passing a store I heard one man say ol another with a large amount ol emphasis that he was a liar, and another mau called without any modification whatever plainly, definitely-a fool. In extenuation of the above I might add: it oc curred at night when evils are most free, while the hearer was walking and ruminating along a deserted sidewalk. One can hardly at times suppress evil thoughts. The idea did indeed occur to me, (a mere passing chimera ?.which I stifled) not two hours ago to obtain a pair of dumb bells, exercise strenuously every day to develop and harden muscles for waging a warfare, defensive, at least. I am told that it is a very high ridge where we dwell: Stephens Creek on one side and the Savannah River on the other. The country round about abounds in creeks, mill-dams and Baptists. A former pastor spoke freely to me of the high character and over flowing conduct of the latter. Of course one may look forward for sweet communing saints this year that is, a high, spiritual sort, ex cluding all elements and emblems. We have an excellent high school and a real live Congress man both located in the village aforesaid. Sinners are numerous. I heard a preacher of the town preaching, and said he : "Brother, we are all sinners." To prevent invasion we have a true and tried militaiy company, who walk about on muster days, the pride of the village, with long guns on their shoulders looking brave and draw ing out occasional ly rough words in a soldier-like way. La6t and loud est Ave have a musical association known farand wide as the "Parks ville Brass Band." It's night-the little boys are fast asleep. The d^y's journey mid din and dust has been a'severa tax on young nerve force, and the young travelers, wearied with the transfer, have sunk in sweetest sleep. Marvin, the eldest, wondered when we shall return home. He thinks the old parsonage and plot of land on the hill near Reedy River in the Piedmont belt is Papa's own. He remembers the red smooth road where he rolled hie hoop ; tho favorite t:ee near the well and the little play house be Mud the barn where with his associates he has often gamboled. So be said: "Let us go back home." The love of home early springs, is deeply implanted in the human breast. Who can or who would efface the earliest impressons of the quiet home life when the mother lived? I remember as my happiest the years spent in the old home when a child : upon an elevated place near the river side stood the brick mansion. Tall, graceful elms and sturdy water oaks stood like protecting sentinels around the old domain. In front was a deeply shaded woodland where the squirrel, the robin, the partridge enjoyed unlimited free dom, for they were protected by the landlord's-decree. Northward looking up the beautiful Broad, wide, extended meadow lands lay. In the full blossom and bloom of spring sluggish cattle would quietly graze up?li the soft and sweet herbage of green and ever and anon drink of tho cool, babbling brook hard by, and stretch their lengths at noontide beneath shading willows by the river's brink. And there were hog-killing times and Christmas times, house-raising and log-rol ling times-hallowed associations and scenes in and around the old home; memory brings them all before mr to-night. There came a bright morning a few years ago, in early Spring. It seems to me but as yesterday, so still, so calm wa3 that bright Sabbath morning. A gentle breeze stirred among the young leaflets, the honeysuckle lent its seducing sweetness to the fragrauce 'round, while the mocking bird perched on a favorite limb warbled seemingly in plaintive accents its morning lay. My mother grew restless. The Doctor had told me in a whisper that she could not live long. The old clock that had done faithful service many years, ticking the seconds and striking tho hours as they came, suddenl}' wti'^o...' 'ii. .vr. ts?-* ii thing before-a mere superstition. But the old clock on the stairs was sullen and silent; not ticking nor striking any more. "My son, I'm dying," and in a dreary way she looked far out upon the beautiful landscape beyond. "You know what I want you to be,'' said 6he. She breathed heavily a moment. There was short struggle of nature for life, and my mother died. My lines have fallen in pleasant places since. I've been cheered and comforted before blazing hearth of kindred and friends, but all has never equaled the happiness of the hearth of my mother's home. Parksville, S. C. * P.S. Later; Recently arrived. Dash broke out of his stable this morning. Getting on his knees he crawled out of a hole in his barn not four feet high. He had gono five or six miles towards Reedy River when he was caught and held fast by two iron-will Edgefield stewards. The aforemen tioned musical baud was the cause of his leaving in Euch disorder. They serenaded us last night just before dawn. The poor animal has every evidence of nervous prostration since his return. E. A. W. Secrets In Demestic Economy. The torn . pages of books may be mended with with tissue paper. Lay a thick piece of canton flannel under your tablecloth. Even coarse napery will look a much better quality with a sub cover than if spread directly over the bare table fop. If through any blunder in clean ing a fowl the gall or other en trails are burst, the taint which affects the meat may be easily removed by soaking for half an hour in cold water in which a 1 i t f le soda has been dissolved. Try a sheet of white paper on a dark table cover if you must work at night. Try threading a needle by hold ing it over something white. Use one ounce of borax, two ounces of shellac and one pint of boiling water for a glue or cement. Enjoyed Himself. A guest at a Chicago marriage, ou Monday, stole the wedding cake and a pot containing the boiled chicken. I have spent my life in seeing people die, not of their ailments, but of that great and incurable disease, the want of money. ADULTERATION OP COFFEE. And Nice Things are Not Put With It or in It, Either. "Coffee," says Dr. Winslow An derson, of San Francisco, "now one of the most universally used of all beverages, excepting, per haps, tea and beer, is usually ab nominably adulterated. It would seem difficult to imitate coffee, but it is not. A very fair cup of coffee is made from black walnut dust, caramel, and roasted and browned horse liver. This mixture has been ascertained by chemical analysis to be in extensive use. Grjund coffee and hotel drcoctions often contain roasted and ground peas, beans, potatoes, carrots, corn, rye, and oak bark, while chicory is sel dom absent.. This chicory, by the way, is itself adulterated with roasted wheat, rye, beans, acorns, carrots, parsnips, beet root, baked livers, venetian red, colored earths, oak bark, tan, and sawdust. Coffee grounds from large hotels have been known to be gathered up, carefully dried and remixed with adulterates and chicory, and sold again as pure coffee. So much for ground coffee. Physical and Chemical Ingred ients of a Man. A notable object of interest is described as among the contents of the National Museum1, Wash ington, showing ?the ingredients which go to make up the average man, weighing 154 pounds. A large glass jar holds the ninety six pounds of water which his body contains, while in other re ceptacles are three pounds of "white of egg," a little less than ten pounds of pure glue, thirty four and one-half pounds of fat, eight and one-fourth pounds of phosphate of lime, one pound carbonate of lime, three ounces of sugar and starch, seven ounces fluoride of calcium, six ounces phosphate of magnesia and a lirtle_^c?na;rvJ&b^ ? samo man IP lound to comara- s ninety-seven pounds of oxygen, 1 fifteen pounds of hydrogen, three pounds and thirteen ounces of : nitrogen, and the carbon in such ; an individual is represented by a 1 foot cube of coal.

Chinese Advance. Thc Edinbarg Review. Vast and populous as China is, : the experience of the present cen tury shows that she is weak for i aggressive purposes. She has not the hold on teiritory adjacent to 1 her borders which she could claim a hundred years ago. European 1 nations are pressing on her, both 1 on the south and on the north. She has been forced to cede a por tion of her territory to England, and she has been compelled to avail herself of the help of Eng lishmen, both for civil administra tion and for military command. All these things show that an ex pansion of the Chinese race docs not necessarily involve an exten sion of Chinese dominion. On the contrary, they tend to prove that it is the order introduced by Eu ropean administration which leads to the multiplication of these in dustrious people; and there is,, therefore, at least as much ground for saying that, though Borneo, Sumatra-, and New Guinea, and the great islands of the Eastern Archi pelago, may be ultimately peopled by yellow races, they will be gov erned by the white races, as for be lieving that a new Chinese Empire is in process of formation ; a Chinese India may, in other words, be developed in these great and fertile islands. Aeronauts cannot rise much above five mihs of vertical height on account of the increasing rarity of tho air, but double that height has been attained by self-register ing balloons, which tell us that some ninety degrees of frost pre vail up there.

Th?|laves are free-if that can be called freedom which they now enjoy.! Are they happier? Well, it it, hard" to define what happiness is. F|w of them would go back into tlj?ir old state, and all would now b^very unhappy if they could be remanded to it; butas a rule, those negroes who are old enough to h avg1 experience worth remem beringpdo not hesitate to declare that tfie state of bondage was far happiojr. The air and manner of most *?? them are sadly changed for ih&worse. The free and open cheerfijllness, ready to burst out in pefjls of laughter, the prompt and respectful bow, the song and dance,"!the jollity at Christmas, and tye expression of love and loyalty to the white people, are in a largifdegren gone. Surfiness and reserve have taken their, place. Crimes have become tenfold-more numerous and some, and inever heard of in old times^have become common. No; if happiness were the end and ob ject ?t life, the negroes in the South?could not be said to have gainedt by the change. But bless edness, not happiness, is the true end; ?nd the new condition has thrust^enormously more responsi bility jjipoii them, . and it maybe that, rn consequence, they may in time rise to higher things than they DOW oblain ; but ic may well be questioned if the new state will ever n?'atch the Christian fidelity of Uncele Tom, the faithful tender ness of Aunt Chloe, and the pa tiencefand love of Eva's mammy.

The Methodists in Texas. rhe Texas Christain Advocate. Over oue-tenth of the members af the Methodist Episcopal Church South live in Texas. The statistics of the five Texas conferences just held show a membership of 178, 909, to say nothing of those mern- , bers in the bounds of the Mexican i border, New-Mexico, and German mission conferences who live with- ? iu the bounds of the State. The Church in the five conferences owns 1,180 churches, valued at i $1,684,623; 462 parsonages, valued at $389,903, making the church property worth $396,753, making the total value of church property $2,471,379. The sum of $27,078 was paid for foreign missions and $18,312 for domsstic missions. The conference claimants received $18,564. The salaries of the presiding elders aggregated $41, 981, and $298,855 was paid for pastoral support. There waspaid into the Bishops fund $2,239, and for delegates to the General Con ference $1,475. The whole amount collected for church extension foo'sup $7,680, while $5,392 was paid for education. Church and parsonage building and repairing has gone steadily forward, $220,707 being raised and expended in that direction, and $307,366 for other objects.'' The minutes show a total of sunday scoools numbering 1,314, with 74,136 scholars. The sum of $3,211 was raised for missions in Sunday schools, $24, 494 for local Sunday school work, anc $798 collected on Children's Day. For other objects collected in Sunday schools the reports show $3,563, making a total collec ted in and for Sunday schools of $32,064. Told in a St Louis Hotol. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. '.The strangest test of will power and endurance everse3n," said E. D* Gonsaul8 of the City of Mexico, at tho Southern." "was in Mexico, the characters being a Mex!? (n girl and an American mau. They were lovers and the girl's parents re fused their consent to the uuion, insisting that she shoald marry a wealthy Mexican suitor. At the suggestion of the girl they agreed to die together and to test the strength and endurance of each other's love they chose a means of suicide unlike any ever dreamed : of before. Food and fruit were placed on a table in the centre of a . room, occupied by both, the girl having escaped from her home but being unwilling to elope with her lover. It was agreed that they should starve to death with plenty before them, and should either succumb to nature and par take of the food, then both were released fram the bond of death, but there should be an everlasting separation. For twelve days they endured ths pangs of hunger without a murmur or a thought of wayering from their purpose to die together. The twelfth day the father of the girl discovered her whereabouts, and breaking the door, they were carried, out, too faint to stand alone. It took them several days to recover their strength, and when they did they were married. This is a true state ment, and the American is living with his Mexican, wife to-day." A Seat in the House of Commons. Justin McCarthy in North American Review. The House of Commons has some 670 members, and it has seats for little more than half the numbers. Even if we take into account the members' galleries, which run along two sides of the chamber,*tliere still is not nearl) room enough for all the men who are eniitled to take their places in the House of Commons. "What are the members to do who have not got seats? They arc- to dc the best they can-to do anything they like short of taking seats^in the House. They may crowd the bar-I do not mean any place of refreshment although they may may crowd that bar, too, if they please-I mean they stand below the line which is supposed to represent the brass bar that can, when occasion re quires, be drawn out from either side, and so conjoined as to re present the divison between some petitioner or some alleged offender They may-stanaiu the newspaper room or the tea room ; they may fall asleep in the libray they may walk on the terrace ; they may lounge in the smoking room; but cannot sit in the House. As in England there are so many superfluous women who could not possibly find husbands hereunder our present matrimonial system, in the House of Commons there are so many members who cannot possibly find seats. The struggle for seats from day to day is a curious and interesting competition of which, so far as I know, the English House of Commons has an absolute monopoly. It is in ona sense a question of first come first served. The House of Commons usually meets at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A mem ber may come down to the House as early as he pleases and select a seat. If he comes very carly say at 8 in the morning-he has, on ordinary occasions, a fair chance of a good place. He selects his place and he puti his hat into it. Then he goes away, to return at 3 o'clock, when prayers are said by the Chaplain of the House -at present and for* some time past my distinguished friend Archdeacon Farrar. In the meautime our member in quest of a seat must not stir one inch outside the buildings which belong to the House of Commons. His claim to a seat is supposed to rest on his attention to the service of the House, and if he crosses a threshold for one moment outside the precincts of the House hi* claim to a seat is forfeit. So he spends from S o'clock until 3 lounging about the library and smoking rooms and the newspaper room, and at 3 he comes back into the House and listens to the prayers. Then having complied with all that cermonial and having spent his whole day in nominal service of the House, he is entitled to insert in a little brass frame at the back of his seat a small card bearing thr. printed word "prayers" his own name writ ten t eneath,and thus he has secured that seat for the one sitting only. The struggle has to begin afresh on the very same conditions on the morrow. Many Uses for Soda. Good Housekeeping. Tinware may be brightened by dipping a damp cloth in common soda and rubbing it well. Very hot soda in a solution, ap plied with a soft flannel, will re moye paint splashes. Use soda in dbe water to clean paint and glass instead of soap. Strong, tepid water will make glass vory brilliant, then rinse in cold water, wipe dry with linen cloth. Ceilings that have become smoked by kerosine lamps may be cleaned by washing off with soda water. For cleaning oil paint before repainting, use two ounces of soda] dissolved in a quart of hot water. Then rinse off with clear water. A lump of soda laid on the drain pipe will prevent the pipes becoming clogged with grease; also flood the pipes once a week with boiling water, in which a) little soda is dissolved. Wash white marble, porches, bath, etc, with a mop dipped in boiling hot water aod soda. j A good deal of soda should be dis solved in the water. Peanuts as an Article of Food. Dr. P. Furbringer treats of the peanut as an article of food rich in a', bumen, of which it contains ! forty-seven per cent., together with nineteen per cent, of fat and non nitrogenous extractive matters. He recommends the use of roasted peanuts in the form of soup or mush. On account of their cheap ness, peanuts are recommended as a popular article of food, espe cially in poor houses and the like; moreover they are recommended as an article of food for the corpu lent, for diabetics, and for the sub jects of kidney disease. In the last mentioned of whom, foods-rich in animal albumen are to be avoided. Wisdom of Balzac. Generous people make bad busi ness men. A man should find all women in his wife. Debts are the silent partners of | experience. Women lives by seniiment where man lives by action- _ ' -BB yuu piyaW iii ine Wire's j first word of indifference. There are but few moral woun*ds that solitude does not cure. A hobby is the medium between passion and a monomania. A man is strong when he admits | to himself his own weakness. There is nothing like the exer cise of power for teaching you politics. ' There are some men who are al ways polite-they have gloved souls. In the medical profession a car riage is more essential than skill. Love, after giving more than it has, ends by giving more than it receives. The old critic is always kind and considerate; the young critic is implacable. Women are apt to see chiefly the defects of a man of talent and the merits of a fool. He who does not bestride suc cess and grasp it firmly by the mane lets fortune escape. When a rascal is loved by an honest woman she either becomes criminal or he an honest man. Next to the pleasure of admiring the woman we love is that of see 'mg her admired by others. God himself was deceived by the only woman he had to govern and whom he had taken pains to make. No man has yet been able to I discover the means of giving friendly advice .to a woman, not even to his own wife. It is natural to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we cannot understand, and insult what we envy. JAS. H. TILLMAN, Attonii anfl Connsllor at Law. EDGEFIELD, S. C.

Sin nearly always begins with a look. The devil is the father of every doubt. A loafer is never satisfied jvith his wages. The man who hates purity is the enemy of God. The easiest thing for a fool to do, is to tell how little he knows. The man who hates light, is always afraid of his own shadow. We must either use orl?se. The servant who buried his talent lost it. Nothing but sin ever made any body doubt the divinity of Jesus Christ. Money cannot give any man piece of mind who does not respect himself. The best time to keep away from some folks, is when you aro in trouble. There are people who never hear any music except when they are playing first fiddle. If every finger-board on the J?rico road told the truth, nobody would care to travel it. God will see to it that we shall always have something to cay, if we talk about his goodness. Some men try to pay their debt to God with money they have taken oat of the pocket of a neighbor. The devil is never far away when preachers quarrel about wa ter, and keep still about whiskey. \ The man who says ''Our Father" in honest prayer, will not be found stauding with his foot on his brother's neck. not assure.us that we shall not go into the furnace; nor into deep water; but it does promise that the fire shall not consume us, and the waters shall not overflow us. In the midst of the trial it shall be well with-us. By our side in the furnace, there shall be "One who is like the Son of God," and we shall come out without even the smell of fire on our garments. It is not said, that Christians shall not have extraordinary trials. Christianity develops manhood; it vastly enlarges the sphere of life. It gives a broader surface across which the winds of ad versity may sweep. It gives greater possibilities of enjoyment and these make greater trials certain. A Christian man is higher and deeper and broader than other men are. He is more fully developed in all the capacities, both for joy and sorrow. Christ suffered un speakably more than any other man who ever lived could suffer. He had in himself all the noble ness of man, and all the gentle ness of woman, he had vaster ca pacities of suffering than man possesses. Stoical indifference to pain is an evidence of a coarse and brutal nature. To feel and yet to do and dare is to be trulv noble. kVWWVVVWVWWW"VWWWVV% MENSTRU?TBON with a womanof vigorous health passes off in due time without pain or dis comfort; but when she approaches this crisis MONTHLY with a frail constitu tion and feeble health she endangers both her physical and mental powers.
