1NFAN t RANDS. Fair beacon lights at dusky eve, In cottage door and palace hall; They beckon man from busy marts, Those dimpled hands outstretched ant small. Herculean powers within them liF, Wee finger tips with rosy palm; One magic touch on cheek or brow Will quell an angry rising storm. Ofttimes they vanish from the sight, Those darling hands more prized that gold; Passive in death's chill hand they lie Like frozen lilies pure and cold.

Dr T.mtrg i c ou 0 A Sublect 01 Ui Ie la e-est. BRoOKLYN, Jane 24.-For toda Rev. Dr. Talmage has choosen a suject of world wide interest as the theme o: his sermon throuah the press -v z. thE necessity of guardirg the christiL Sah bath against invasions that aim at itE destruction. The tc-xt selected was Exodus xxxi, 13, "Ver'y my Sabbaths ye shall keep." The wisdom ot ceesation fro-n bara la bor one day out of the s(vtn is almost universally acknowledged. The world has found out that it can do less work in seven days than in six, and that the 52 days of the year devoted to rest are an additiom rather than a substrac tion. Experiments have been made in all departments. The great L.rd Castlereqwh thought he could wcrk his brain 365 days n the year, but af:.er awhile broke down and commiteduecide and Wilteforce Paid of him: "iPoor Castlereagh! Thir is the result of ihe nonobservance ct the Sabbath!" A celebrated merchant declared, "I should have been a maniac long arc but for the Sabbath." The nerves, the braio, the muscles, the bones, the entire physic al, intelle::tual and moral nature cry cut for the Sabbath rest. Wbat is true of man is for the most part true.of the brute. Travelers have found out that they come to their places of destination sooner when they let their horses rest by the way on the Sabbath. What is the mat ter witn those forlorn creatures harnessed to some of the city cari? Why do they stumble and stagger and fal? It is fir the lack ot the Sab)batic rest. In other words, when the herdsmen drove their sheep and cattle from the far west down to the seaboard- it wve fotud out by eermsnrt that those herdamen - -'androvers who halted over the seventb day got down sooner to the seaboard than those who passed on witbou the observance of the holy Sabbath. The fishermen off the coast of Newfoundland declare that those men during the year catch the most fish who stop during the Lord's day. When I asked the Rocky mountain eDgineer why be changed cecmotives when it seemed to be a straight route, he said, "We have to let the locomotive stop and cool cff or the machiner'v would soon break down." Men who made large quantities of salt were told that it hev allowed their kettles to cool over --Siday they would submit themselves to a geart deal of damage. The experi ment was made, some observicg the Sabbath and some not observing the Sab bath. Those who allowedl the fires to go down and the kettles to cool once a week were compelled to spend only a few pennies in the way of repairs, while in the cases where no Sabbath was ob served many dollars were demanded for repairs. In other words, intelligent man, damb beast and dead machinery cry out for the Lord's day. But while the attempt to kill the Sabbath by the stroke of ax and flail and yardstick has beautifully failed itfasproposed in our day to drown the Sabbath by floodmne it with secnlar amusements. They would bury it very dece'itly under the wreath of the target company and to the music of all brazsa instruments. There are today in the different cities 10,000 hands and i0,000 pens busy in at tempting to cut cut the heart of our - Christian Sabbath and leave it a bleed ine skeleton of what it once was. The effort is organmzed and tremendous, and unless the friends of Christ and the lov era of good order shall rouse up right speedily their sermons and rotests will be uttered after the castle 13 taken. There are citiesmi the land were the Sab bath has almost perished, and it is be coming a practical question whether we who received a pure Sabbath from the hands of our fathers shall have piety and pluck enough to give to our children the same blesssd inheritance. The eterna Ged helping us we will! I protest against this invasion of the ,-holy Sabbath in the first place because it is a war on divine enactment. God says mn Isaiah, "if thou turn away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on my holl day. thou shalt walk upon the high places," What did he mean by "domns thy pleasure?" He referred to secula: and worldly amusements. A man tolc me he was never somuch frightened a. in the midst of an earthquake, when the beasts of the field bellowed in fear and even the barnyard fowls screamed in ter ror. Well it was when the earth wa: shaking and the sky was all lull of fir< that God made the great announcement "Remember the Sabbath day to: keep 1 holy." Go through the streets wtere thi theaters are open on a Sabbaah night; go up on the steps; enter the boxes o: those places of entertainment, and tel: me if that is keeping the Sabbath holy, "Oh," says some one. "God won't b4 displeased with a grand sacred conc-rt.' A gentleman who was present at grand sacred concert".one Sabbath nighi in one of the theaters of our great cities said that during the exercises there wer' comic and sentimentai~songs interspersee with coarse jokes, and there were dan cog, and a farce, and tight rope walking and a trapeze performance. I suppose it was a holy dance and a consecratet tight rope. This is what they call 2 "grand sacred concert." We hear a great deal of talk aboul "the rights of the people" to have jus1 such amusements on Sunday as thel want to have. I wonder if the Lord has any rightd. You rule your family the governor rules tho state; thie presi dent rules the whole land. I1 wonder i the Lsrd has a right to rule the nations and make the enactment, "Remembe the Sabbath day to keep it holy," andi there is any appeal to a higher cour from that decision, and it the men wh< are warring against that enactment ar not guilty .of high treason against lta Maker of heaven and earth. They havy in our cities put God on trial. It ha: been the theaters and the operi houses, plaintiffs, versus the Lord Al mighty, defendant, The suiL has beer begun, and who shall come out aheat you know. Whether it be popular o: unpopular, i now announce it as m3 opinion that the people have no right! save those which the great Jehoah give: them. He has never given the rih t<I break his holy Sabbath, and as long a his throne stands he never will give tha right. The prophet asks a question which: can easily answer, "Will a man rol Ged?" Yes. They robbed him last Sun day night at the theaters and the operi houses, and I charge upon them the in. famous and high handed larceny, I holl the same high handed larceny. I hola the same opinion as a Eaior Ihave heart of. The crew had been discharged fron the vense becanus they would not worl whilRoy : : a p r 1. on the Lord's .ay.

Tniei made the law fr you and for your fami lies, and now I say that any man who attempts to override the law insults vou and toe and evtrv man who hLsz t right of suffrage. S hi further, I protes1 a:ainst the i rabion of the Saobath uzscause it is a foreign war. Now, if 3 ou heard at this moment the booming f a tun in the barbor, or if a shell from some foreign frigate should drop into your street. would you keeD sour seats in church? You w ould! want to face the toe, and every gun that could be managed would be brouzht into use, and every sbip that could be lbrought out of the navy yard would swing from ber anchorage, and the qestion would be decided. You do not want a foreign war, and yet I bp-e to tell you that this invaoi-n ot God's holy day la a foreign ,ar. As vm' cu: own native born popu iation there are two classes-the good and the bad-so it is with the people who come from other shores-there are the law abiding and the lawless. The for ner are welcome here. The more of them the better we like it. But let not the lawless come from other shores ex pecting to break down our Sabbath and Institute in the place of it a f~reign Sabba'h. Ho* do, you feel, ye who have been brcougt up amid the hills of New Eng land, about giving up the American Sabbath; ye who spent ytur childhood under the shadow of the Adirondacks or the Catskills; I e who were born on the banks of the Savannah or Ohio or Oregon, how do ycu feel about giving up the American babbath? You say: "We shall not give it up. We mean to de fend it as lona as there is left any strength in our arm or blood in our heart ! Do not bring ycur Spanish Sab bath here. Do not bring your Itahan Sabbath bere. Do not bring yonr French Sibbath here. Do not bring sour foreign Sabbath here. It shall be for us and our children f orever a pure, consec' ated, Christian, American Sab bath.". I will maae a comparison between the. American Sabbath. as some of you have known it, and the Parisian Sabbath. I speak from observation. On a Sabbath morning I was areused in Paris by a great sound min te street. I said, 'What is that?" "Oh," they said, "this is Sunday." An unusual rattle of vehicles of all sorts. The voices seemed more boisterous than on other days. People running to and fro, with baskets or bundles, to get to the rail trains or gardens. It seemed as if all the vehicles in Paris, of whatever sor t, had turned out for tho holiday. The Champs E'y sees one great mob of pleasure seeking people. Balloons dymng. Parrots chatter ing, Footballs rolling. Peddle~rs hawk. ing their knickknacks through the s'.reets. Punch and Judy shows in a acore o places, each one with a shouting audi ence. Band crgans, cymbals and every kind of racket, musical and uomusical. When the evening came down, all the theaters were in full blaza of music and fall blazn of light. The wine stores and saloons were thronged with an unusual number of customers. At eventide I stood and watched the excursionists coming home, fsgged out men, women and children, a gulf stream of fatigued irritab'.hty and wretchedness, for I should thins it would take three or four days to get over that miserable way of Sundaying. It seemed more like an American Fourth of July than a Chris tian Sabbath. Now, in contrast, I present one of the Sabbaths in one of our best American aities. Holy silence commng down with the day dawn. Business men more deliberately looking into the faces c f their children and talking to them abcut their present and future welfare. Men sit longer at the t ible in the morning because the stores are not to be opened, and the mechanical tools are not to be taken up. A hymn is sun.g. There are congratulations and good cheer all through the house. The street silent until 10 o.clock, when there is a regular, orderly tramp churchward. Houses of God, vocat with thanksgiving for mer cies received with prayers ior comtort. with charities for the poor. Rest for thie soul. The nerves quieted, the temples cooled, the mind cleared, the soul strenghtened and our entire popula tion turned out on Monday morning 10 yeare younger, better prepared for the duties of this life, better prepared for the life that is to come. Which do you like best-the Ameri can Sabbath or the Parisian Sabbath? Do you know in what boat the Sabbath came across the seas and landed on our shores? It was in the Mayflower. Do you know in what boat the Sabbath will leave us if it ever goes? It will be in the ark that floats over a deluge of national destruction. . Still further, I protest against the invasion of the Lord's day bscsute it wron,.s a vast multitude of employees of their rest. The play actors and act resses can have their rest between their engagements, but how about tae scene siuters, the bailet dancers, the callboys. the innumerable attendants and super numeraries cf the American theatei? tWhere is their Sunday to come frotm? They are paid small salar~es at the best. Alas fr: them! They appear on the stage in tinsel and tassel, wmith hafbrrds, or in zauze, whirthng in too tortures, and they might be mistaken for fairies or queenis, but after 12 o'clock at niight you may see them trudging through the streets in faded dresses, shivering and tired, a bundle under their arms, seeking their homes in the garrets and cellars of the city. Now, you propose to take from thousands ot these employees throuighout this country, not only all opprtumtv of moral culture, but all op portunity of physical rest. For heaven's - sake, let the crushing juggernaut stop at least one day in seven. SAgain, I'>ppose this modern invasion of the Christian Sabbath because it is a war on the spiritual welfare of the peo have a mind? Yes. You have a sou' Yes. Which of the secular balls on the Sabbath day will give that soul any cul tu ? Niw, admittung thnt a man has E su!ritual aud immortal nature, whici one of the nlaces of amusement will cul lure i e Which one of the Sibbath per foimauces will remnd men c.f the facl tha, uniless ti-v are born again they can not see the kinadom (,f God?

Is it unreacuable to t nnd that it you have six days for die biy and intellect we shuldi have ome day at Ieast for ou: imortal sou'? 0, to put it in an -.ther shaje, do you not really think that ou: imperishab!e scul is worth at least one seventh as much as (ur orishable :-od)? An artist has three zems--a corrnelian. an amethyst and a dia-mond. He has to cut them and to set them. Which one is he mcst particular about? Now, thc crzelau is tbe bod', the amethyst is the intellect. the diamond is the soul. Fr the two f~rmer you propose six days of opportunity, while vcu offer no op pcr;unity at ail for the last, wh'ch is in value as compared with the others like :100.000,000,000 to ore far.h~ni. Be sides you must not fOrget '.hat rine tenths--a e, ninety-nine osiebundredths -of all the Christian eflorts of this coun try are put frth on the Lord's (ay. Sun day is the day on which the asylums and hospitals and the prisons are visitcd by Christian ren. That is the day when t.e youth ( f our counitry get their chief relizious intormation in Sunday schools. That is the day when the most of the harities are collected. That is the day when undbr that hl>st of 60,000 Ameri can puipits, the siu of the )an- i's as auhLed and men are summoned to re peut. When ycu make war upon any part of God's dtv, ycu make var upon the asyluns, and the reform assceiatious, ad the homes of the destitute, and the church of the living God, which 's the pillar and the ground of the i u'.h. I am opposed to the invasion of tie Sabbath because it is a war on our poll ical institutions. When the Sabbath oes down, the republic goes down. Men who are not willing to obey God's law in regard to Sabbath observance are nt fit to govern tbemselves. Sabbath breaking means dissoluteness, and dis solutenezs is incompatible with self gov ernment. They wanted a republic in Fiance After awhile they got a repjub ic, but one day Napoleon 1I1, with his avalry, rode throuh the streets, and down went the republic under the clat tering hoofs. They have republic there again, but France never will have a per manent republic until she quits her rcis tering Sabbaths and devotes one day in every week to the recognition pf God nd sacred institutions. Abolish the Sabbath. and you abolish your religious rivileaes. Let the bad work go on, and you have "the commune." and you have "the revolusion," and you have the sun of national prosperity going own in darkness and blood. From that eign of terror may the God of peace de iver us. S:r1 farther, I am opposed to this inva -on of the Sabbath because it is unfair, Ind it is partial. While secular amuse ments in different cities are allowed to e open on the Sabbath day, dry goods stablshments maist bs closed, and lumbing establishments, and the butch rs, and the baker's, and the shoemak r's, and the hardware stores. Now, all me by what law of justice you com el a man to shut the door of his store hile you keep open the door of your worldly establishment. May it please our honors, judged of the supreme court, f you give to secular, places the right o be open on the Sabbath day, you have o give, at the same time, the right to 11commercial establishments to be-open ad to all mechanical establishments to e open. If it is right in the one case, it is right in all the cases. But we are told that they must get oney on Sabbath nights in order to pay the deficits of the other nights of the week. Now, in answer to Chat I say hat if men cannot manage their amuse ments without breaking the Lord's day hey had better all be into bankruptcy tgether. We will never surrender ou hristian Sabbath for the purpose ot helping these violaters to pay their ex penses. Abve all, my confidence is in the good hand of God that has been over our cities simee their foundation. Bat I :all this day upon all those who befriend Christian p:'incIple, and those who love our political freedom, who stand in sohid phalanx 'na this Thermopyhre of our American history, for I believe as certain y as 1 stand here that the triumph or verthrow of American institutions de pends upon this Sabbatic contest Bring your voices, your pens, your printing presses and your pulpits intc the Lord's artillery corps for the defense of our holy day. Today in your families and in your Sabbath schools recite, *Re member the Sabbath day to keep ii oly." Decree bsfore high heaven thai this war on your religious rights and the cradles of your children shall bring iguc minions defeat to the enemies cf God and the publhe weal. For those who die it the contest battling for the righit we shall hisel the epitaph, "These ara hcy who came cut of great tribulatioa and hae their robes washed and made whilte it the blood of the lamb." But for thai one who ;shall provein this moral crisil recreant to God and-Fthe church there shall be no honorable epitaph. He shall ot be worthy even of a burial place ie all this free land, but the appropriate it terment for such a one would be to cai rv out his remains and drop them int< the sea, where the lawless winds which keep ao Sabbath may gallop over the gravp of him who lived and died a traitoi to God, the church and the free institt tins of America. Long live the Chris tion Sabbath! Perish forever all at tempts to overthrow it! Horrible Death. MACON, June 22.-MEr. John Long, well known citizen and farmer of Craw ford county, met a horcible death at his home. The facts as related by parties in Macon fcom Crawford being these: Mr. Long was at work at his jug facto ry grinding mud. He lost his balance and fell under the wheels. His heat was mashed, one arm and a leg were ground off, and his body was badly mu ilated. Mr. L-ng was about 45 yeari old and a highly esteemed cit;zen. He leaves a wife and seven children.

PRESIDE.NT CARNOT, OF FRANCE, STABBED TO THE HEART. The, Deed Darne by an Italton Anarchiat The Murde!r Sveid from the Fury of the P'e-puiacE-Gre at Excitement Pre LYoN. Jane 25.-President Carnot waq asssinsed on the streets of Lyons toyieht by Cesare Giovanni Santo. He 1ied at 12:45 Mudav morminz. To de i cribe the c x-itement in this city would be almost impossible. The President was visiting Lyons mn connection with the Iniernational Exhibition. Upon his arrival here. he was tendered a reception at the Prefecture, after which he vis*ited the exhibition. After spending some time at the exhibition, he proceeded to the Palais Le C2ommerce, where a ban quet was given in his honor. At 9.25 tonight President Carnot started for the theatre, where a gala per formance was to be given because of his prcseneco in the city. Several carriages were in the procession, the first one be ing occupied by the President. Carnot's carriage wa? driven slowly along in front of the Palace of Commerce, and then turud into Rue De La Republiquo still :ollowiug the facade of the palace. When half way down the street which was lined with enthusiustic crowds of people, who were loudly cheering a man rushed out of the crowd and sprang upon the stei3 of the President's landau. Just at tbis moment, Carnot was waiving his right hand and saluting with h:s hat in his left hand in response to tc ovation that was being given to him by the crowd. The peoplt close to the cariiage saw that the man stand ing on the ste s had a knite in his hand. By the glare of the electric lights, they saw the bright blade gleaming in the air, as thn asassin's arm descended, and then President Carnot was seen to fall back in his seat, his face deathly pale. One of his bands was pressed over his heart, where the steel had entered his body. M. Rivatid, prefect of Lyons, who was seated beside Carnot, immediately struck the assassin a blow full in the face and knocked bim from the step, thus preventing the man from again stabbing the President, which it was his evident intention to do. Instantly cries of "Le Presicent Est Assassine Morp A La Assassin" were heard on every side and the crowd in the vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous pro portions, every member of it seemingly intent upon killing the assassin. He was grasped by a dczen hands and his life would have then and there paid the fbricit of hi., crime, had it not been for several sergeants de vilie, who secured him and attempted to draw him away from his captors. This was found to be impossible, as the infuriated populace were determined to lynch the man and the efforts of the sergeants av')rled nothing beyond saving the men from instant death. Blows were aimed at his ece and head over the shoulders of the police, who arrived by this time, and many of the blows landed fairly. At last the police succeeded in driving the howling mob back a fhct or so from their prisoner, but to get the captive away was a physical impossibility. In the meantime the news of the at tempted murder spread with lightning. like rapidity and mounted guards were sent to the aid of the policemen, who were still struggling to preserve the life of the assassin. With drawn sabres in their hands, the guards rode down into the swirling crowd, which slowly gave way befote the horses and at last the center of the mob was reached. Then a cordon was formed around the then almost exhausted polhcemen and their captive and marched to the police sta tion. Even thus eurrounded, the pris oner was not sale, as men in the crowd n'ade frantic endeavors to reach him. The guards repelled these attracks with the flat sides of their swords, while at the same time keeping watchfal eyes upon the crowd to prevent the prisoner from being shot. Maledictions were poured upon the captive and never be fore has such a wild indignation against a human being been seen in this city. In the meantime, physicians were hastily summoned to attend the Presi dent, who had almost immediately been conveyed to the Prefecture. A careful examination was made of the wound and the doctors declared that the con dition of M. Caraot was hopeless. The receipt or the news of assassination caused a great sensation at the Grand Thertre, wich was filled to the walls by the elite of Lyons. All were waiting with impatience the arrival of the Presi dent and alh were unable to un dertand the delay. Suddenly a mnn entered the theatre crying at the top of his voice: "The Presi dent has been assassinated." The most intense excitement followed this abrupt announcement. In the midst of it, Pre fect Rivaud appeared in the President's box and amid profound silence, said, in a voice broken with sob3, "The President has just been assassinated." This announcement was received with a terrible explosion of fury, as the au dience when the first report of the as sassination was received, had, though greatly excited, generally discredited it. The theatre resounded with shouts of "A mort all assassin," and cries for ven geance upon him. When sileace was in a measure restored, M. Rivaud continued. "In the Rae de la Republique a mis creant, under the pretext of presenting a petition, stabbed M. Carnot with a dag ger." Rivand was again interrupted witfl shouts of "death to the murderer, re venge, revenge." Waiving his hand for silence, Rivaud spoke again, saying: '-Do not make my mission more painful. We left M. Carnot in the hands of doc tors. You understand that under these conditions our hearts are filled with sor rowv and that the proposed performance in the President's honor, cannot take place." The audience then left the builing, many of them proceeding at once to the Prefecture, where they stood in the streets waiting for reports. Santo, the assassin, is a beardless young man, 20 or 25, years old. When arrested he was arrayed in a broadcloth sut and wore a peaked cap that matched the suit in color. As he marched unde.1 his police guard from the de la Republi que to the station he held his head down but is eyes glanced furtively around as though he was seek ig an opportunity to escape from his captors. To have made such an at tempt however, would have been the height of foolhardiness unless he desired to com mit suicide, for there is not the slightest dout that had he got away from the protection afforded him by the police he would have been totonlimb from limb by tihe crowd. whese every action showed t2 at they :vere thirsting for his blood. Santo, wuo speaks French badly, when questioned by Prefect Lepine at the police station in Rae Moliere, said he had lived at Cette, department of Herault, for the past six months, and bad only come to Lyons today. He gave his age as 22 years. His replies were given coolly, but without any sign of bravado. He refased, however, to answer any of the many questions put to him legarding his motive for stabbing the presinnt, declaring that on this subject he would speak only be fore the tribunal. When he was searched by the police a book was found in one of his pot in which it was written that he had been bern in a viliz in the pro vince of Milan, ita.y. Santo held a newspaper in hk bani as he pressed through the crowd an sprang upon the steps of the cart iag in which Carnot sat. He snatched i dagger trcm the folds of the neweapape and plunged it into the Prosideut'6 ab domen near the liver. Caroot sank bac unconscious. WHAT THE RAIN HAS DONE. Enc'uragior Weekly Bnlletin of th State Weather Serv:ce. COLUMBIA, S. C., June 27.-The fol lowing is Director Bauer's report fo the week ending June 24th: Nearly normal and sunshine prevail ed during the week with no excessiveli hot days or any very cool nights. ThE rainfall on the whole was greater thai for any week for the previous month but yet far from enough. In somi places the drought was entirely relieve( in many places partially, while a largi area in the aggregate, though widel: scattered, received at best only 1ghi showers. Nineteen out of seventy-fou reports received indicate rains amount ing to more than the normal for th week ending with June 24tb, comins from the following counties: Abbevill Beaufort, Chesterfield, Barnwell, Fair field, Florence, Greenville, Laurens Newberry, Orangeburg, Pickens anc Union. Thirty-five report refreshing showers, but not enough to break the drought; while twenty state that al best but light showers occurred, com ing from the following counties: An derson, Charleston, Darlington, Green. ville, Georgetown, Horry, Lancaster Lexington, Marlborough, Spartanburg Williamburg and York. In the remaing eleven counties of th( State, and which come under thE second condition, the rains were poorl1 distributed, although the rainfall wa general enough to make a vast im provement in crop conditions and pros pecte.Cotton being essentially a hot dr] weather plant is doing well everywher is small, but free from 'weed" and be ginning to bloom. Its growth has noi been rapid enough to regain the los of May and early June, and consequent ly remains from two to three week. under seasonable size, Early plantec corn is too far advanced to respond t the more favorable weather althougl it shows an improved color. It is be ing laid by. Corn of later planting and which at tained a stand before the dry weathei set in remains rromising but small. Rice is begining to feel adversely thi dry weather and Jue rice in George town county is liable to be greatly damaged owing t,> the water in the river being too low to cover it. Planting of sweet potato slips h is been resumed where the ground is wel enough, but a large acreage remainE yet to be planted. The sowing of peas is almost general on stubble land that was fit to be pre pared, and the acreage promises to be above the average if the weather con tinues favorable.

My Dear Comrades: I was Captain of Company G. 45th Miss. Regt. Wood's and M. P. L-awry's Brigade, Pat Cle urne's Division in the late war be tween th States. I was fearfully wounded and disabled in the great and memorable battle of Chickamauga, sept. 20, 1863. When in command of my compiny in front of the enemies' lines and temporary works. and under a heavy fire of shot and shell, I had the misfortune of having my under jaw, Lpper teetb, and part of my tongue shot away, and my face terribly mutilated by the explosion of a shell from the enemies' guns. Since which time I hale had to lie on my back when taking my meals and fed by others on fluids. I cannot masticate any food whatever. Notwithstanding my unfortunato and irreparable condi . tion, I managed so as to support my self and family for 2. years, but am unable to do so longer without assist ance. Comrades, I dislike to beg. I bad rather that it were different, but I can not help it. I received this ugly and unfortunate wound in a just and hon oratle cause. I did my duty in defend ing our beloved Sunny Southland homes, property, and firesides. Will you please see to it that myself and family do not suffer for the necessaries of life? I have a wife and two daugh ters dependent on me for a snpport; and one of the daughters has been an invalid for the past eighteen years. PlJease contribute something to our re lief, and I assure you that the amount will be greatf ally appreciated by ug. Your comrade, [Signed. I JoHN M. SLOAN. i fully endorse the within statemeut of Capt. J. N. Sloan. He is -rery poor, a good moral mar, law abidir g citizen, and merits all that can be done for him. [Signed.] C. B. MITCHELL. FRANK SAUTER. SUMMIT, Miss., Jan. 4, 1894. I was the chaplain of the 45th Miss. Itegt. I saw Capt. Sloan on the field of Chickamauga, Sept. 20, 186)3. Four surgeons pronounced his case hopeless. The chin dangled in front of the breast, the shell made a gash from the outer edge of the right eye to the corner of the mouth. From Sunday noon un til Tuesday about 2 p. m. no relief was given him-not a drop of water could be given him. I obtained private physicians from Ringold, Ga. They cut away the chit, and sewed the nose to the face. An old physician who had served in the Mexican War, and who saw him said that he knew of only one man similarly wounded on record. Capt. Sloan was frightfully mutilated. Over 30 years, he lies down supinely three times a day on two chairs and is a child. I have made several efforts in his behalf. To the last, the first response came from Hon. G. F. Bowles, of Natchez, a negro, a representative of Adams county. He sent 825. The next came from Mrs. Sarah E. Mar shall, from Bartow, on the sound, Westchester county, N. Y. She sent $10 to me through the Rev. Dr. Strat ton, of Natchez, Miss., and $10 direct to me from her home. Dear Comrades of the Lost Cause! I know not how to commena my friend to your generous consideration. He is now an old man, he has an aillicted family, he is poor, and he himself is fear'fully disfigured in the face. I am sure as long as there are surviving Confederate soldiers, who can aid Capt. Sloan ought not to suffer for material comforts. Shall we not let in a little sunshine into this dreary home? [Signed.] CIIAs. H, OTKEN.

He has done all he could, and support ed himself for 25 years. Now, he calls on us for aid. Let those of us who were spared and were more fortunate now come forward and share our scan ty purses and means, as we did our haversacks and canteens during the war. He is now old and cannot help himself. His is an exceptional case. Probably no other such disfiguring and disqualifying wound was received on either side during the war.

After a while he crawled into Columbia one night with his right arm shot off, say ing his wife's relatives had tried to murder him.

Rv-naskbte Weather Experience In th4 U.,tted Statee D2 igsZ 181G. Almost every one has heard of the terrible dark year in the early part oi the present century. While every on is speaking of the present season as be ing remarkable in its characteristic. we have gathered for our readers som( reliable facts of the year 1816. known a. the "year without a summer." Few per SOnS now living can recollect it; but it was the coldest ever known through out Enrope and America. The follow. ing is a brief abstract c1 the weatbei during the year: January was mild-so much as tc render tires alwost needless in parlors. December previous was very cold. February was not very cold; with th( exception of a few days it was milc like its predecessor. March was cold and boisterous during the first part of it; the remainder was mild. A great freshet on the Ohio and Kentucky rivers caused great loss ol property. April began warm, and ended in sno i and ice with a temperature more like winter t'an spring. May was more remarkable for frown than her smiles. Buds and lower were frozen; ice formed half an inch thick; corn was killed, and the fieid were again and again planted unti. deemed too late. June was the coldest ever known it this latitude. Frost, ice and snow were common. Almost every green thing was killed. Fruit was nearly al. destroyed. Snow fell to the depth ol ten inches in Vermont, seven inches ic Maine and three inches in New York and also in Massachusetts. Consider able damage was done at New Orleani in consequence of the rapid rise in thE river, the suburbs were covered with water and the roads were only passabl( in boats. July was accompanied Nith frost and ice. On the 6tb, ice was formed of tb thickness of common window elasi throughout New England, New Yort and some parts of Pennsylvania. Indiar corn was nearly all destroyed. Some favorably situated fields escaped. Thi4 was true of some of the hill farms ol Massachusetts. August was more cheerless, if possi ble than the summer months alread3 passed. Ice was formed half an in'et thick. Indian corn was so frozen thal the greater part of it was cut down and cured for fodder. Almost ever3 green thing was destroyed, both in this country and Earope. papers receivec from Europe stated that it would b( remembered by the present generatior that the year of 1816 was a year in whict there was no summer. Very little corn rippened in New E ngland and the Mid die States farmers supplied themselve. from the corn produced in 1815 for thf seed of the spring of 1817. It sold al from :4 to .5 a bushel. September furnished about two week. of the mildest weather of the season Soon afOer the middle it became ver3 cold and irosty, and ice formed a quar ter of an inch thick. Oztober produced more than its sharo of cold weather-frost and ice aband antly. November was cold and blustery Enough snow fell to make good sleigh ing. December was quite, mild and com fortable. The above is a brief summary of th, cold Summer of 1816 as it was called t4 distinguish it from the cold seasons The winter was mild. Frost and io were common in every month of th year. Very little vegetation matured il the Eastern and Middle States. Th sun's rays seemed to be destitute o heat through the summer; all natur seemed to beclad in sable hue and mei were anxious concerning future life. THE T W!N COMMENCEMENTS.

The number of dead is 2~>. The orig inal report that only 200 men were 1r the mine at the time was due to a mis understanding on the part or the man ager. who thought that a shaft of min ers had just come up.

A cream or tartar baking powder Hiighiest of all in leavening strength.-La test United States Government Food Re port. Royal Baking Powder Company, 106 Wall St., N. Y. What the ResulC Will Je. The National Watchman, published at the N ational Capital, an Alliance paper of pronounced opinions , Ina re cent issue very highly complimented Congressman McLaurio. of this State. 'I be customary Congressional speech," 'says the Watchman, "is read from a type written manuscript' to empty, benches or to members engaged in the occupation of writing letters or read ing newspapers. McLaurin of South Carolina, is not of the 'cut and dried' type; he speaks off band without even a note and is very earnest in deli very, and with the rare faculty of handling figures.so as to make them interesting. Ie can always command attention.Last Thursday be gave the old party hacks' sometning not down on the pro gramme,when he launched oat in an at tack on Springer and the formation of the banking and currency committee. There was a fine vein of sarcastic hu mor woven into his remarks. The ref erence to 'rude tramplers upon the grass invading the rights. perogatives and dignaties of the great American Congress,' and the sneering allusion to Sherman, Springer and Harter as the parents of 'CoxCyism' was a well mer ited rebuke to the.. grasping selfishness of these men." We fully agree with the Watchman that it is refreshing to find a Democrat wtih the courage of his convictions. Just such a speech was needed and McLaurin was the man to make it. Immediately after Cleveland's election, there was great talk of opposition to Crisp who was snubbed at the Reform Club banquet. During the spring Mr. Crisp visited the President and it was charged made his peace by promising to organize the committees on certain lines. "What is the result?" continues the Watchman, and proceeds to answer the question as follows: "No step has been taken to present a silver bill. Bland is the chairman of the committee on coinage, weights and measures, and is unable to get his bill out of the com mittee. It was organized against him. Springer, chairman of the banking and currency committee, as McLaurin said, 'boldly, openly and impudently repudi ated the platform of the party on the currency,' and McLaurin more than Lii sinuates that he was appointed to his present position to 'defeat'not to 're deem pledges,' because it was known that he was a 'Mugwump,' true to no party or platform, faithful to no tie, save the one that binds him to the money power, whose merciless oppres sion is robbing the people of the fruits of their toils-a severe arraignment, but true. Already there is talk of bringing in a rule to shut off deb~ite, the 'old sinners' are afraid another Mc Laurin will bob up. And there will, for now that McLaurin has had the toldness to break the ice, others will follow and'expose the rottenness of the hollow sham that is being played upon the people. Tile fact is, there is not much place in the Democratic party in -tCogess for a man honestly desir usthepthe people. It is a hopeful sign to see young men rise above petty partyism and speak out bravely for the 'rights of the people. It means one of -two things, either one of the old parties . must be purified and freed from rthe domination of the money power, or the honest leaders will be forced out and idto the P'eople's party." -Terrible Tragedy in Georgia. L EXINGTON, Ga., June 28.-A terrible tragedy was enacted In Grove Creek district, this county, last Sunday eve ning.

After reaching borne they found Mr. Dillard absent and a pool.of blood on the floor. E'Lrly Monddy morning Mr. Dillard's body was found about 100 yards from the house by a negro boy on his way to work. Notice was given and the coro ner summone d a jury of inquest. All day yesterday the jury labored to find out the perpetrator of the deed and finally brought in the following verdict: "We, the jn-'y, after a careful exami nation and consideration of all the facts presented to tis, find that L. N. Dillard came to his d,*ath by two severe blows with an ax-, and there is sufficient ground to su- pect that Mr. John Saxon committed in crime and that J. J. Dil lard and M rs Patience 0. Dillard are accessories." Mr. J. J. D).llardl is thA son of Mr. J. Newton Dillard aud ha Saxon is the son-in-law of J. Ne wton Dillard. They were brought to Lexington to-day for a preliminary hearing before Magistrate iE. .J. Reynolds, bat they waived trial. J. J. Dillard and John Saxon were placed :in jaIl, and Mrs. Dillard is at the home of the sheriff, A large crowd was in town today to hear the trial and considerable excitement prevailed.
