A remarkable mirage was seen at Long j
Branch on Tuesday, just as the President ar- ;
rived. It showed all the vessels, 65 in num- j

in reverse, and among tbe clouds. The
scene was very beautiful, aud was watched j
by thousands of spectators.
A giant powder packing-house, two miles j
from Marquette, Michigan, was blown into

plainly felt for eight miles.
The services of Drs. Barnes, Woodward j
and Rcyburn, who have aided in the medical j
care of the President, were dispensed with on j
Thursday night. We cannot say we are in I
full sympathy with those who bave been de- j

done his best and deserves credit for his faith- ?
fulness. j
The President and his wife insisted upon j
having fewer doctors. A correspondent was |

overruling of Dr. Hamilton some three weeks j
ttgo, when the question of removal wa3 un- !

Last week the second operation on Senator j

take out the sub-maxillary and lymphatic
glands, and also the whole Boor of the mouth, j
The patient was under the influence ot ether. !
Cincinnati cannot ship her bacon South. ?
The Enquirer says : ' Orders are here for ba- ?

cause they are standing on the track full of j
grain, w-bicb the owners are holding for high- j
er prices. Sell your grain or unload it aud j
let the cars go back. If you don't demurrage '
will soon eat.you up." Perhaps this block-i
ade ia one cause of the rise in price. A ju- j
dicious abstention, from bacon and ham would !
sops remove, the pressure.
Colonel Boykin, the Commissioner of Im- j

The year 1881 is continuing its strange p
formances. Down East qneer atraospbe
disturbances are noted, creating wonder
alarm. Everything ic clothed in a yellow,
light, except gas jets, which, as they are on
narily yellow, now burn white, while t
grass on Boston Common looks as if it h
a coat of paint. In Rhode Island and Cc
neticut they have had one or more da k da;
such as used to be written about with gr?
marvel in New England's earlier times. (
the Jersey coast they have had a mirage. B
the worst prodigy of the year is the long-cc
tinued drought, which is ravaging the cou
try far and wide, afflicting alike the cott
and tobacco of the South and the corn a:
hay of the North ; while at the West fon
fires are raging with unprecedented fury, ai
whole villages have been burned to ashes.
REPUDIATION
. o-?
It is customary now-a-days to repudia
debts that cannot be settled without inco
venience to the debtor. The movement
taking strong hold of whole States, and t
States have inspired individuals with tl
same spirit. That it is dishonest does o
admit of a question. An honest debt shou
be paid at any sacrifice, and he who seeks
shirk it is a dishonest man.
And yet there is a duty devolving upon tl
creditor which he should carefully obserr
It sometimes happens that an honest man cai
not pay bis debts-not from a lack of desir
but because of adverse circumstances. I
cannot control the elements nor keep disea:
and sickness from his roof, and through the;
causes his finances may sink so low as I
make him unable to meet bis obligations.
In such cases the creditor owes to tl
debtor a lenieut spirit, and should judge <
the man's character as to how he should dei
with him. To oppress bira and crush him t
the wall will certainly be wrong unless i
can be established that the debtor has bee
seeking to avoid payment of his dues.
The season now approaching will find man
honest men in the condition referred to above
The rains have been withheld, the sun ha
parched the fields, many persons arc uneas,
as to the means of subsistence, and it will b
found that multitudes cannot meet their ob
ligations. Repudiation hag not yet enterei
their minds ; but if they are oppressed an<
threatened with executions and levies, it wil
be natural for them to resort to questioanbi
methods of escape from financial ruin. Si
that, in our opinion, the time has come fo
all business men to show their leniency tb
one to the other, and possibly thc result wil
be advantageous to the creditor as well as ti
tbe debtor.
THE METHODIST COMMUNION.
-o
Last Thursday a great gathering of Metho
dists from all parts of the civilized and Ea
glish-speaking world met in London. Tbii
assemblage is the grand culminating result o
the movement started by Jobo Wesley nearly
a century and a half ago.
As this great conference now In session ir
the above named city, is creating considerable
interest among all Christian nations, it may
be well, in a cursory manner, to view some
of the principles, distinctive and characteris?
tic, upon which Methodism is based. Thc
Methodists did not spring, as commonly
thought, into a different and separate sect for
the same reason assigned to the other Protest?
ants who bolted from the Established Church.
The Presbyterians and Congregationalists
believing the Episcopal system of Church
government wrong dissented, and for the sake
(as they conceived) of right Church doctrines
may be said to have originated these denomi?
nations. While with the Methodists Church
government was rather a minor considera?
tion, they breaking away slowly and by de?
grees from the mother Church, the leaders
adhering to the canons to the last as near as
a clear conscience would allow. John Wesley
recognizing that the love of God stirred with?
in the soul of every individual man was more
to be desired than ritualism, proclaimed that
;'dissenters begin everywhere with showing
their hearers how fallen the burch and min?
isters are ; we begin everywhere with show?
ing our hearers how fallen they are them?
selves." In all Methodist societies various
Church managements, beginning from the
Episcopal form in the United States down to
the "United Methodist Free Church" of Great
Britain, can be found. Wesleyanisra steers
between the two and is decidedly hybnd in its
Church government.
Wesley, according to our modern ideas of
theological writings, wrote very little the?
ology, and consequently Wesleyanisra was
never set forth by logical treatises into a dis?
tinct confession of faith. But it is conceded
by theologians that "the Methodist doctrine
may now be characterized as Armenian in so
far as it regards the relation of the human
race to redemption."
In America ail Methodists are Wesleyans,
but in England there are thousands who are
not and they do not adhere to the Apostolic
creeds.
We take the following from the New York J
Sun which will be interesting to many of our ]
readers : j
"The liturpy is no longer employed in
American Methodism, although the Articles
of Religion are, as we have said, in force,
but binding on ministers only. None but j
the Wesleyaos proper now retain tbe Book )
of Common Prayer ; but ail Methodists have j
what is virtually a liturgy in thc Wesleyan
hymnbook. It is unquestionably to this re?
markable eompend of spiritual songs thal we
should look for one of the secrets of the suc?
cess of Methodism. Another feature which
has powerfully contributed to its progress is
the employment of laymen in matters ot im?
portance. This application of the cooperative
principle to ecclesiastical concerns should,
next to the hymn book, be ranked among the
powerful factors in tbe creation and support
of Methodist societies.
"In computing what Methodism has done,
we should, of course, take into account its
indirect influence, as weil as its concrete <
growth. It is generally, ive think, admitted j
by candid writers belonging to the English j
Established Church that the great Evangeli- I
cal revival within the Anglican pale which
took place toward the end of the last century
was a recognition of the justice of Wesley's
charges. If so much be conceded, we cannot
well escape the acknowledgment that the Bi- 1
ble and missionary societies, the introduction .
of Sunday schools, the tract societies and
religious periodical publications, and most <
other religious agencies characteristic of our <
time, are in a more or less, indirect way the I
outcome of the Methodist movement. Ca
this head, no doubt, there will be some differ- '
ence of opinion, but there can be none in re?
gard to the astonishing grow th of the Metho?
dist communion. According to the Edin
burg Renew, from which most of thc facts
here cited have been drawn, the adherents of
Methodism in Great Britain number 5,000,^
OOO. It is calculated there are uot less than
1,400,000 Methodists in thc United States.
The ecclesiastical property of the Methodist
societies in the United Kingdom is reckoned
at some $55,000,000, while in this country it
cannot fall far short of S20?,000,000. The
annual attributions in Great Britain ior
Methodist purposes amount to $12,500,000,
and that sum is considerably exceeded in the
United States. Besides this direct outlay up?
on preaching, we should not overlook the sup?
port afforded to that branch of the Methodist
propaganda which fiuds ft channel in thc peri?
odical press. Four quarterlies fire published
in England and America, and 150 periodicals
io Eng!i6bj French, Italian, German, Swed?
ish, Dutch, and some other non-European
languages. Thc oldest of these is the Wesley?
an Methodist Magazine, commenced by John
Wesley rather more that a century ago.
Theabote isa conclusive argument that
Methodism ha3 done a "mighty work" to?
wards advancing civilization and propagating
the Protestant faith wherever the English
language was spoken.
How mitch more vigor the proceedings of
this great council will give to the extension
of Methodism time will tell, but it is certain
that it will be the means of infusing new life
into the Wesleyan faith.
Last Friday a most terrific storm swept
over thecity-of Wilmington and the Coast
from there Northward. The city was com?
pletely overwhelmed, being flooded, houses
blown down, trees torn up by the roots and
the telegraph wires prostrated. The wind
blew at thc rate 86 miles an hour at Wilming?
ton and 96 at Smithville. It is estimated
that $290,000 worth of damage was done to
property in Wilmington by the gale, and sev?
eral persons were killed.
It is announced that Priestly k Sons,
among the largest manufacturers of fine dress
goodsj whose Wotks at Kradford, England,
continually run 1,500 steam looms, are about
to remove their entire business to Philadel?
phia, being convinced that the United States
is to be the future industrial centre. A build?
ing has bi en secured and the machinery is al?
ready arriving. It is probable that the oper?
atives o? the English works will very general?
ly follow the mill to this country;

Peabody Scholarships.
In the competitive examination for the five
vacant scholarships in the Nashville Normal
College which took place in the Supreme
Court room on Monday last, there were thir?
teen applicants, eleven young geutlemen and
two young ladies. The examination was
thorough and searching, more especially in
the departments of geography, history, math?
ematics aud English grammar. The questions
were written on blanks, and the class required
to answer without consulting books or au?
thorities of any kind. The examination was
conducted by numbers, and the judges, on
examining the papers, did not know the au?
thors, which necessitated an impartial de?
cision.
Superintendent Thompson, with Professors
Schoenberg and Riemann of Lexington, pro?
ceeded yesterday morning to compare the
papers prepared by the applicants, aod indi?
cate the relative merits of each. The envel?
opes were opened, by request, by Col. R. M.
Sims and Rev. W. C. Lindsay, when it was
found that the following were the successful
competitors, and therefore entitled to the
certificates of scholarships : 1st. Mr. F. W.
Caldwell, of Winnsboro ; 2d. Mr. J. J.
Lanier, ofEdgefield; 3d. Miss Maggie Evans,
of Anderson; 4th. Mr. G. E. Stokes, of
Orangeburg; and 5th. Mr, Frank Evans, of
Marion.-Palmetto Yeoman, StA.
The tolling of the church bells in Westfield,
