INFANT HAND?. Fair beacon lights at dusty eve, In cottage door and palace hail; They beckon man from busy marts, Those dimpled h*nds outstretched and email. Herculean powers within them li<=, "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 dariing hands more prized than gold; Passive in death's cbiil band they lie Like frozen lilies pnre and cold.

Dr. Tnlaxtg* Cbcow-s A Subject oJ WHe la ere?r. Brooklyn, June 24.?For today Rev. Dr. Talmage has ehoosen a subject of world wide interest as the theme of his sermon through the press ?v'z the necessity of guarding the christian Sabbath against invasions ihat aim at its destruction. The text selected was Exodus xxxi, 13, "Verily my Sabbaths ye shall beep." The wisdom of cessation from hard labor one day out of the seven 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 day8 of the year devotea 10 rest are au addition rather than a substraction. Experiments have been made in all departments. The great Lord Castlereagh thought he could work his brain 365 days m the year, but after awhile broke down and commiiedsuicide and Wilceforce said ot him: "Poor Castlereagh! Thi? is the result ot the nonobservance of the Sabbath!" A celebrated merchant declared, "I should have l*en a maniac long asc but for the Sabbath." The nerves, the brain, the muscles, the bones, the entire physic a), intellectual and moral nature cry cut for the Sabbath res What is true ot man is for the most part true.of the brute. Travelers have found out tnauney come to their places of destination sooner when they let tbeir horses rest by the way on the Sabbath. What is the matter witn those forlorn creatares harnessed to some of the city cars? Why do they 8tumble and stagger and fall? It is for the lack ot tbe Sabbatic rest. Ia other words, when the herdsmen drove their sheep and cattle from the far west down to the seaboard, it was found out by experiment that those herdsmen and drovera who halted over the seventh day got down sooner to the seaboard than those who passed on without the observance of the holy Sabbath. The fishermen off the coast of Newfoundland declare that those men daring the year catch the most fish who stop duriog the Lord's day. ^ When I asked the Rocky mountain noincpr whv he changed Iccomotivcs ? . "" T"J ~ - ? o when it seemed to be a straight route, be said, "We have to let the locomotive stop aad cool off or the macbinerv would soon break down." Men who made large quantities of salt were told that if thev allowed their kettles to cool over Sunday they would submit themselves to a geart deal of damage. The experiment was made, some observing the Sabbath and some not observing the Sabbath. Those who allowed the fires to go down and the kettles to cool once a week were compelled to speed only a tew pennies in tte way 01 repairs, wane in the cases where no Sabbath was observed many dollars were demanded for ? . repairs. In other word3, intelligent man, dumb beast and dead machinery cry out tor the Lord's day. Bat while the attempt to kill the Sabbath by the stroke of ax and flail and yardstick has beautifully failed it Is proposed in our day to drown the Sabbath by flooding it with secular amusements. They wonld fcury it very decently under the wreath of the target company and to the music of all brazen instruments. There are today in the different cities 10,000 hands and 10,000 pen3 busy in attempting to cut out the heart of our Christian Sabbath and leave it a bleeding skeleton of what it once was. The eflort is organized and tremendous, and ULUCOO WC 11.1G11UO V\ \suilov ?uu vuv ?W1ers of good order shall rouse up right speedily their sermons and protests will be uttered after the castle is taken. There are cities in the land "were the Sabbath has almost perished, and it is becoming a practical question whether we who received a jJure Sabbath from the hands of our fathers shall have piety and pluck enough to give to our children the same blesssd inheritance. The eternal God helping us we will! T nrotest acainst thi3 invasion oi the holy Sabbath in the first place because it is a war on divine enactment. God says in Isaiah, "If thou tern away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on njy holy day, thou shalt walk upon the high places," What did he mean by "doing thy pleasure?" He referred to secular and worldly amusements. A man told me he was never somuch frightened as in the midst of an earthquake, when the beasts of the field bellowed in fear and even the barnyard fowls screamed in terror. Well it was when the earth was ? ? ? i ^ t_ - _i? n 4.^11 v snaking ana me say was an iuu ui ui<3 that God made the great announcement, "Rememtkr ihe Sabbath day to keep it holy." Go through' the streets wters the theaters are open on a Sabbath night; go up on the steps; enter the boxes of those places of entertainment, and tell me if that is keeping the Sabbath holy. "Oh," says some one. "God won't be displeased with a grand sacred concert." A gentleman who was present at a grand sacred concert",one Sabbath night in one of the theaters of oar srreat cities said that during the exercises there were comic and sentimental songs interspersed with coarse jokes, and there were dances, and a farce, and tight rope walking, and a trapeze performance. I suppose it was a holy dance and a consecrated tight rope. This is what they call a "grand 3acred concert." We hear a great deal of talk about "the rights of the people" to have ju3t such amusements on Sunday as they want to have. I wonder if the Lord has any rights. You rule your family; the governor rules tho state; the presi dent rule? uie wnoie jana. i wonaer 11 the L9rd has a right to rule the nations and make the enactment, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy," and if there is aoy appeal to a higher court from that decision, and it the men who are warring against chat enactment are not guilty ",.of "high treason against the Maker of heaven and earth. They have in our citie3 put God od trlsl. It has been the theaters and the opera T'Awnii +T-\a T.rxrrl A 1 UUUOCS) yiaiUWUO) TgiOUd JUV4U mighty, defendant, The suit has been begun, and who shall come out ahead you know. Whether it be popular or unpopular, 1 how announce it as my opinion that the people have no rights save those which the ^reat Jehoah gives them. He has never given the right to break his holy Sabbath, and a3 long as his throne stands he never will give that right. Th? nrODhet aafea a cmeation which T can easily answer, "Will a man rot God?" Yes. They robbed him la3t Sunday night at the theaters and tbe opera houses, and I charge upon them the infamous ?.nd high handed larceny, I hold tbe same high handed larceny. I hold the same opinion as a sailorlhave heard of. The crew had been discharged from the vessel because tbey wcula not work mm - w in BTTTTCT I Mir-?a? while lliey wr re in p >i I on the Lord's day.

Again, I am opposed to this desecration ot the Sabbath by secu'ar enlertianmenis because it if. a war on tbe statutes of most of tie siaus, The law in New York state says: "It shall not be law!ul to exhibit on the first c'ay of the week, commonly called Sunday, to ibe public, in asy h?vMmcr <r$?rd??n. crMiinJs. concert room or other redact or place - within the city I and county of New York, any interlude, tragedy, comedy, opera, ballet, play, farce, negro rnicstxelay, negro or other dacciog, or a:.y other entertainment of the stage,or any p*rt or pafts therein, or any equestrian, circus or drematic per fbrznancc. or aoy performance of jug glers, acrobats or rope dancing." Was there ever a plainer enactment than thai? Who made the la^v? You who at the ballot hoses dsoiHori whn should ?o to Aibanv arid sit ;n the legislature; you who ia any region exercise the right of suffrage.

Now, if 3 ou heard at this moment the booming cf a gun jQ the harbor, or if a shell from some foreign frigate should drop into your street, would you keeu your seats in church? You would want to face the foe, and every gun that could be managed would be brought into us?, aad every ship that could begbrought cut of the navy yard would swing from her anchorage, and the question would De aeciaeu. mu uu not want a foreign war, and yet I have to tell 70U that this invasion of God's holy day i? a foreign war. As among cur own Dative born population there are two ciasses?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 ?? > r.?a1rtoma here Thp mirP nf 4.U1 jucl aivs them the better we like it. Bat let not the lawless com? from other shores expecting to break d;.iwn our Sabbath and Institute in the place of it a foreign Sabbaih. Ho* do, )0u feel, ye who have been brought up amid the hills of New England, about giving up the American Sabbath; ye who spent your childhood under the shadow of the Adtrondacks or the Catskills; ye who were born on the banks of the Savannah or Ohio or Oregon, how do ycu feel about giving up the American Sabbatt? You say: k'We shall not give it up. We mean to defend it as long as there is ieft any strength in oar arm or blood in our heart! Do not bring ycur Spanish Sab' bath here. Do not bring your Italian Sabbath here. Do not bring your French Sabbath bere. Do not bring \our foreign Sabbath here. It shall be for us and our children torever a pure, consecrated, Christian, American Sabbath." I will mane a comparison between the American Sabbath, a? some of you have known it, and the Parisian Sabbath. I speak from observation. On a Sabbath morning I was aroused in Paris by a great sound in the street. I said, "What is that?" "Ob," they said, "this io ?iin/3oi7 An nnnsnal rattle of KJUUUMJ ? ^ ~ vehicles of all sorts. The voices seemed more boisterous than on other days. People runniog to and fro, with baskets or bundles, to get to the rail trains or gardens. It seemed as if all the vehicles in Piris, of whatever sort, had turned out for tho holiday. The Champ3 Elysees one great mob of pleasure seeking people. Balloons flying.

The wine stores and saloons were thronged with an unusual number ot customers. At eventide I stood and watched the excursionists coming home, fagged out men, women and children, a gulf stream of fatigued irritability and wretchedness, for I eh/mlr? thine it. wnnU tftkft thrfifi Or four uuvm.u uuiua iw m vvj.v. ??wv . days to get over that miserable way of Sundaying.

Which do you like beat?the American Sabbath or ths Parisian Sabbath? Do you know in what boat the Sabbath came across the seas and landed on oar shores? It was in the Maj flower. Do you know in what boat the Sabbath will leave us if it ever <joes? 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 b3cau?e it wron?s a vast multitude of employees of their rest. The play actors and actroeoao nor, Vioro tTxvr rpct. VlPt.WPPn thpir engagements, but bow about tee scene 8aiiters, the ballet dancers, the callboys, the innumerable attendants and supernumeraries of the American theatci?

They appear on the stage in tinsel and tassel, with halberds, or in sauze, whirling in too tortures, onr? mjohfc hp. mistaken for fairies or queens, but after 12 o'clock at night 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 ot the city. Now, you propose to take from thousands ot these employees throughout this country, not only ail opportunity of moral culture, but all opportunity of physical rest. For heaven's sake, let the crushing juggernaut stop at least one day in sever. Again, I oppose this modern invasion of the Christian Sabbath because it is a war on the spiritual welfare or the people. You have a body. Yes. You, have a mino? Ye a. You have a sou"? Yes. Which of the secular halls on the Sabbath 4ay will give that soul any cul-, tu.(?

Lst the bad work go on, j and you have "the commune." and you < have "the revolu3ion," and you have the sun of national prosperity goiog down in darkness and blood. From that reiga of terror may the God of peace deliver us. Still further, I am opposed to this invasion of the Sabbath because it is unfair, and it is partial. While pecular amusements in different cities are allowed to he oDen on the Sabbath dav, dry goods establishments mast be closed, and plumbing establishments, aod the butch- \ er's, and the baker's, and the shoemak- ] er's, and the hardware stores. Now, t tell me by what law of justice you com- i pel a man to shut t?e door of his store i while you keep open the door of your i worldly establishment. May it please i your honors, j udge<s of the supreme court, i if you give to secular, places the right < to be open on the Sabbath day, ycu have i to give, at the same time, the right to i all commercial establishments to be open ( and to all mechanical establishments to j 06 open, ir it :s rigm iu wro uuc ^aoc, it is right in all the case's. . But we are told that they mu3t get money on Sabbath nights in order to pay the deficits of the other nights of the week. Now,- in answer to that I say that if men cannot manage their amusements without breaking the Lord's day they had better all be into bankruptcy together. We will never surrender ou Christian Sabbath for the purpose of helping these violaters to pay their expenses. AbDve all. my confidence is in the good hand of God that has been over our cities smce their foundation. But I call this day upon all those who befriend Christian principle, and those who love car political freedom, who stand ia solid phalanx *n this Thermopy!? of our American history, for I believe as certain ly as 1 stand here that the triumph or overthrow of American institutions de pend3 upon this Sabbatic contest * Bring your vpices, your pens, your printing presses and your pulpits into 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 it holy." Decree before' high heaven that | this war oa your religious rights and the 1 cradles of vour children shall bring igno 1 minions defeat to the enemies of God and ] the public weal. i,-or mose woo me m the contest battling for the right we shall chisel the epitaph, "These are hey who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the lamb." But for that one who ^shall prove ia this moral crisis recreant to God and the church there shall be no honorable epitaph. He shall not be worthy even of a burial place is all this free land, but the appropriate in terment for such a one would be to car tt7 nnf. hia remains and drot) them into the sea, where the lawless winds which keep so Sabbath may gallop over the t grave of him who lived and died a traitor i to God, the church and the free institu < tinns of America.

Marde-er Saved from the Fury ol th* Populacc-GreU Excitement PreVJila. Lyons, June 25.?President Carnot ^E3 assassinated on the streets of Lyons tooight by Cesare Giovanni Santo. He 3ied at 12:45 Monday m>rning. To de:cribe the. excitement in this city would be almost impossible. The President tvas visiting Lyons in connection with Lhe International Exhibition. Upon'hls arrival here, ho was tendered a reception it the Prefecture, after which he visited Lhe exhibition. After spending some q1, lhp> *vhihit.inn hft nrnrf.eded t.f) the Pdlai3 Le Commerce, where a banquet was siven in his honor. At 9:25 tonight President Carnot started lor the theatre, where a gila performance was to be given because of his presence in the city. Several carriages were in the procession, the first one being occupied bv the President. Carnot'a carriage wap driven slowly along in front 3f the Palace of Commerce, and then turned into Rue De La Republiqut Btill allowing the facade of the palace. When aalf way down the street which was lined with enthusiu3tic crowds of people, who were loudly cheering: a man ru3hed -mhnfthft wdwri nnd Rnranor nnon the 3tep of the President's landau. Just at this moment, Carnot was waiving bis right hand and saluting with ir.s hat in his left band in response to the ovation that was being given to lim by the crowd. The people close to :he carriage saw that ths mac stand,ng ou the step had a knite in his hand. By the slare of the electric lights, they saw the bright blade gleaming in the air, is the assassin's arm descended, and then President Carnot was seen to fall jack in hi3 seat, his face deathly pale. One of his hands was pressed over hisnfiftrfc. where lha steel had entered his body. li, Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, who was seated beside Carnot, immediately 3trock the assassin a blow full in the :ace and knocked him from the step, Lhus preventing the man from again stabbing the President, which it was ins evident intention to do. Instantly :rles of "Le President Est Assassine Mort A La Assassin" were heard on jvery side and the crowd In the vicinity 3f the carriage swelled to enormou3 proportions, every member of it seemingly ntent upon killing the assassin. He was grasped by a dozen hands and his life wouid have then and there paid the Eorieit of hui crime, had it not been for several sergeants de ville, who secured fiirn and attempted to draw bim away from his captors. This was found to be impossible, as the infuriated populace were determined to lynch the man ind the efforts of the sergeants av>rled nothing beyond saving the men Irom Dstant death. Blows were aimed it his iace and bead over the shoulders Df the police, wh^ arrived by this lime, ind manv c ".e blows landed fairly. &t last the police succeeded in driving the howling mob back a foot or so Irom Lheir prisoner, but to get the captive iway was a physical impossibility. In the meantime the news of the attainted murder spread with lightning ike rapidity and mounted guards were ?ent to the aid of the policemen, who ivere still straggling to preserve the life the assassin. Withdrawn sabres in ;heir hands, the guards rode down into ihe swirling crowd, which slowly gave way befoie the horses and at last the jenter of the mob was reached. Then i cordon was formed around the then ilmost exhausted policemen and their captive and marched to the police station. Even thu3 surrouaded, t&e prisDuer wa3 not safe, as men in the crowd rade frantic endeavors to reach him. ? n - J ?:*u rne guaras repeueu tucae aiuuu&s nnu the flat s:de3 of their swords, while at the same time keeping watchful eye3 ipon the crowd to prevent the prisoner :rom being shot. Maledictions were poured upon the captive and never before has such a wild indignation against i human being been seen in this city. In the meantime, physicians were nastily summoned to attend the President, who had almost immediately been conveyed to the Prefecture. A careful jxam!nation wa3 made of the wound and the doctors declared that the con. jition of M. Caraot was hopeless. The receipt ot the news of assassination caused a great sensation at the Grand Thertre, which was filled to the walls by the elite ot Lyons. All were waiting with impatience the arrival of the Presi 3ent and all were unable to understand the delay. Suddenly a nan entered the theatre crying at the top of his voice: "The President has been assassinated." The most intense excitement followed this abrupt announcement. In the midst of it, Prefect Rivaud appeared in the President's box and amid profound silence, said, in a mines broken with sobs. "The President has )U3t been assassinated." This announcement was received with i terribh explosion of fury, as the audience when the Iirst report of the as 3a3sination was received, had, thousrh greatly excited, generally discredited it. rhe theatre resounded with shouts of - - < -*1 *A more an assassm," auu ut:c? iut vou*eance upon him. When sileace was in a measure restored, M.Rivaud continued. l'In the Rae de la Rspubliaue a miscreant, uader the pretext of presenting a petition, stabbed M. Carnot with a dagger." Rivaud was again interrupted with shouts of "death to the murderer, revenge, revenge." Waiving his hand for orv%lrA o rroin QQTTinOf* SliCUUC, l.vivauu D^vm- ojmu, uujiui,. -Do not make my mission more painful. We left M. Carnot in the hands of doc;ors. You understand that under these conditions our hearts are filled with sorrow and that the proposed performance n the President's honor, cannot take place." The audience then left the Duiluing, many of them proceeding at )nce to the Prefecture, where they stood n the streets waiting for reports. Santo, the assassin, is a beardless poung man, 20 or 25, years old. When irrested he was arrayed in a broadcloth mit and wore a peaked cap that matched ;he suit in color. As he marched undej 3is police guard from the de la Rapublijua to the station he held his head down Dut his eyes glanced furtively tround as though he was seekDg an opportunity to escape from his mptors. To have made such an attempt lowever, would have been the height of oolhardine3S unless he desired to commit suicide, for there ia not the slightest 3oubt that had he got aw&y from the protection afforded him by the police he hovd fnrn limh frnm Timh 3y the crowd, whose every action showed tbat they were thirsting for his riocd. Santo, wbo speaks French badly, vhen questioned by Prefect Lepine at ;he police station in Roe Moliere, said le had lived at Cette, department of Elerault, for the past six months, and lad only come to Lyons today. He ;ave his age a3 22 years. His replies ivere given coolly, bat without any iisrn of bravado. He refased, however, ;o answer any of the many questions put to him legarding his motive for stabbing the president, declaring that >n this subject he would speak only beore the tribunal. When he was searched )y the police a book was found in one of lis pockets in which it was written that 1 he bad been bom in a villus in ih? province of Milan, lia.y. Santo he!u a newspaper m bis hand as he pressed through tbe crowd and sprang upon the steps of the caniagc in which Carnot sat. He snatched a dagger trcm the folds of the newespapei and plunged inn to the President'^ abdomen near the liver. Carsot sank back unconscious. WHAT THE RAIN HAS DONE. EaCTuraglos Weekly Ballstln of tbe State Weather Service. Columbia, S. C., June 27.?The followiDg is Director Bauer's report for J the week ending June 24tn: Nearly normal and sunshine prevailed during the week with no excessively hot days or any very cool nights. The rainfall on the whole was greater than for any week for the previous month, but yet far from enough. In some places the drought was entirely relieved in many places partially, while a large ; area in the aggregate, though widely scattered, received at best only light | showers.

When he was turned loose, after the tar and feathers had been applied, his face was turned toward -Palmer Lake and he was told never, to show his face in Crippie Creek or Colorado Springs again. He walked fourteen miles before he applied for aid at a ranch house. Help was promptly given him. After the tar was removed a man who had been one of the Cripple Creek deputies took him to Palmer Lake in his buggy, and thence he came by rail to Denver. A mass meeting of about fifty thousand people was held in Lincoln Park this afternoon to condemn the outrage perpetrated upon Adjt Gen Tarsney Saturday morning in Colorado Springs. Governor Waite was received with tumultnous applause and when he hot ly spoke his views of the outrage the crowd cheered wildly and cries of "Give it to them!" were frequently heard. Resolutions were adopted with a ; shout determining the punishment of | the perpetrators and declaring that if (the peace officers of Colorado Springs did not act some means would be made to bring the miscreants to justice. Governor Wait will issue a proclamation to-morrow. Gen Tarsney wa3 very weak to-day and still suffers keenly from his injuries. A story is current that five deputies went out of Denver on the night of the assault on Tarsney, and returned the following day from the soutti. A paper was picked up at Palmer Lake containing a description of the assault and that Governor VVaite would come next. A Tragedy In Chicago.

Mrs. llecd, who was a typewriter for the lumber tirm. of Georgs Thamer & Co, was sitting at her desk alone at the lunch hour today, when a handsome man of about 30 years, six feet tall and well built, entered the office and began talk'.ag to her. All the clerks were out, and as a teamster ap proacbed the door ne saw me man jeauing over Mrs. Reed talking excitedly. Suddenly be drew a revolver and fired three Bhoots, but owing to the nearness of his victim none of them toofc effect. Mrs. Reed screamed and ran out of a rear door to a lumber shed, where the assassin, who had iollowed, knocked her down with his right hand. He knelt quickly on one knee at her side, and without a word fired two more shots from his still smoking revolver into her breast, the woman dying instantly. The mmderer then arose, and placing the pistol to his rignt tempie nrea one saui and fell to the ground dead. The police have as yet tailed to establish the identity ol the murderer and suicide. Upon examination at the morgue it was found that he had cut the name from all his linen, but on one of his seeks was found the name "Hunt."

My Dear Comrades: I was Captain of Company G. 45th Miss. Regt. Wood's and M. P. Lowry's Brigade, Pat Cleburne's Division in the late war between the- States. I was fearfully wounded and disabled in the great and memorable battle of Chicfcamauga, bept. 20,1863. When in command of my company in front of the enemies' lines and temporary works, and under a heavy lire of shot and shell. I had the misfortune of having my under jaw, upper teeth, 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 haze had to lie on my back when taking my meals and fed by omers oil nuius. x cauuuo maawcaic any food whatever. XotwithstandiDg my unfortunate and irreparable condition, I managed so as to support myself and family for 25 years, but am unable to do so longer without assistance. Comrade?, I dislike to beg. I had rather that it were different, but I cannot help it. [ received this ugly and unfortunate wound in a j ust and honorable cause. I did my duty in defending our beloved Sunny Southland homes, property, and firesides. Will - * you piease see tu ii> uiao myzcn <*uu family do not suffer for the necessaries of life? I have a wife and two daughters dependent on me for a snpport; and one of the daughters has been an invalid for the past eighteen years. l'Jease contribute something to our re lief, and I assure you that tbe amount will begreatfully appreciated by us.

Sloan on the Geld of Ohickamauga. Sept. 20, 1863. Pour 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 until 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 cat away the chiD, 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 Xatchez, a negro, a representative of Adams county. He sent $25. The next came from Mrs. Sarah E. Marshall, from BaTtow, on the sound, Westchester county, N. Y. She sent $10 to me through the Rev. Dr. Stratton, of Natchez, Miss., and 810 direct to me from her home. JJear uomraaes of the Lost Cause! I know not how to commend my friend to your generous consideration. He is now an old man, he has an afflicted family, he is poor, and he himself is fearfully 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? [S'gned] Chas. H, Otken. circular.

Sloan, 45th Miss. Regt., M. P. Lowry's Brigade. Cleburne's Division, Army of Tennessee, is before you. His terrible wound was received at the battle of Chickamauga, Sept. 20, 1863. He has done all he could, and supported 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 scanty purses and means, as we did our haversacks and canteens during the war. He is now old and cannot belp himself. His is an exceptional case. Probably no other such disfiguring and disqualifying wound was received on either side during the war. ''My under jaw, upper teeth, 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 1 have had to lie on my back, taking my meals and fed by others with Iluids.

He was once a splendid soldier, who wa3 disabled fighting for our beloved Southland. [Signed.] S.D.Lee, Maj. Gen. Commanding Miss. Division U.C. V. A Sad Tale Columbia,S. C, Jane 27.?All remember the famous Charles. F. H. Gates, the sailor detective, who came to South Carolina some years ago. The story of his thrilling experience ic the Lexington jail when the negro Leaphart was shot to death is familiar. Atcer tnar, as an kquw, ue came ua?,a. to Columbia and soon became a farmer near Columbia in the sandhills, marrying a widow of some means. After a while he crawled into Columbia one night with his right arm shot off, saying his wife's relatives had tried to murder him. Then he became a traveling salesman, and about a year ago he disappeared altogether. It is another remarkable chapter now that has to be added to this stirring story, liis wife was a Mrs.Doland. Her iirst husband died leavinar her ~a nice place about four miles from the city and considerable means. Gates soon managed to make w.iy with all ner avauaDie property and skipped. The State representative is now told by reliable parties that the woman who seemed to be infatuated with the rake has for some time been living alone in her house, eating berries from the woods, etc. She has evidontly lost her mind and is trying to starve herself to death, ohe won't receive help from any one and locks herself up when any one comes about the place. There is nothing in the house for her to sleep upon but a pile of straw. She carries a " ' J -1- ?fc 1*<M? mntaf iarg8 pistol strappeu auuui, uci ?a?u and every one is afraid to approach her. The State's informant says that unless something can bs done by the officials to take control of her she will soon succeed in starving herself to death. The story reads like romance, but it is true and some action should be taken by the proper authorities.? State. Tiie New York Times has published a statement showinc that Senator Al drich, of Rhode Island, who had as much to do with making the McKinley tariff act as any other man, and who is the foremost opponent of tariff reform in the prerent Congress, is a partner of Mr. Searles the treasurer of the sugar trust, in a street railway speculation to which the trust hss advanced SI,500, 000.

Ktmtvkab'.e W??tb?r ExpsritJiice !n the U iit d St?t-s Durtuji 1S1G. Almost every one has heard of the terrible dark year in the early part of the present century. While every one js speaking of the present season as be I-aUI ^ J- ..U lug reiiiar&auie iu na ^aaidv;uciioiito W6 have gathered for our readers some reliable facts of tte year 1816, known as the "year without a summer." Few persons now living can recollect it; but it was the coldest ever kno^n throughout Europe and America. The following is a brief abstract of the weather during the year: January wa3 mild?so much as to render fires almost needless in parlors. December previous was very cold. February was not very cold; with the exception of a few days it was mild like its predecessor. March was cold and boisterous during the Grst part of it; the remainder was mild. A*great freshet on the Ohio and Kentucky rivers caused great loss of property. April began warm, and ended in snow and ice with a temperature more like winter than se rine. May was more remarkable for frowns than her smiles. Bads and flowers were frozen; ice formed half an inch thick; corn was killed, and the fields were again and again planted until deemed too late. June was the coldest ever known in this latitude. Frost, ice and snow were cots-non. Almost every green thing was killed. Fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven inches in Maine and three inches in New York and also in Massachusetts. Considerable damage was done at New Orleans in consequence of tbe rapid rise in tne river, the suburbs were covered with water and the roads were only passable in boats. July was accompanied tfith frost and ice. On the 6t,h, ice was formed of the thickness of common window srlass throughout New England, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed. Some favor&bly situated fields escaped. This was true of some of the hill farms of Massachusetts. August was more cheerless, if possible than the summer months already passed. Ice was formed half an inch thick. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part of it was cut down and cured for fodder. Almost every green thing was destroyed, both in this country and Europe, papers received from Europe stated tbatit would be remembered by the present generation that the year of 1816 was a year in which f Kqt-o trroo rirt cnm mer "XTprv Httlfi fiaril IT uu uu guuuuu^.*! J rippened in New England and the Middle States farmers supplied themselves from the com produced in 1815 for the seed of the spring of 1817. It sold at from 34 to So a bushel. September furnished about two weeks of the mildest weather of the season. Soon afier the middle it became very cold and frosty, and ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. October produced more than its share of cold weather?frost and ice abund aimy. November was cold and blustery. Enough snow fell to make good sleighing. December was quite, mild and comfortable. The above is a brief summary of the cold Summer of 1816 as it was called to distinguish it from the cold seasons. Tiie winter was mild. Frost and ice were common in every month of the year. Very little vegetation matured in the Eastern and Middle States. The sun's rays seemed to be destitute of heat thiougn tne summer; au uaiuio seemed to beclad iiTsable hue and men were anxious concerning future life.
