It is this personality ra-j ther than the Absolute amount ol virtue in us which causes us to attract or repel others. The very same words ami acis done l\v two dilferent persons may ha*.e entirely different meanings. < >ne man advises another. The advi?v having liven sought it may be asstriied ihe teceiver regards the other as interested in bis welfare. But how is it given? Handed over, i erliaps, on the end of a foity foot pole (figuratively speaking)?no interest manifested for the petitioner?a forty-foot distance is maintained, and the words, cold in the beginnitij, are frozen before reaching their journey's end. Another with a different personality, without effusion, speaks warmly, earnestly, with animation. Pleading perhaps neither one way nor the other, giving only an opinion, yet even in that he betrays his heartiness. It is said that certain public speaking is ineffective because the speakers utter truth as if it were untruth?ra theras if belief in it were of no im port a nee?while other speakers utter fiction as if it were truth. All of us possibly have listened to speakers who left us in doubt if they even half meant what they said. One could never get under the surface of their minds, as it were. Words were clearly enunciated, pronunciation and expression were unexceptionable, yet the whole seemed soulless?there was no meaning to it all. Another with half the ''gifts'' would speak the same truths with so much heart as to move the mighty. I We may say it should be matter ra-j ther than manner that moves us, but .as long as we are open to any influences manner will take precedence of matter to a very large degree. It is for this reason that so many psendn-Christ'aus are rejected while some ungodly are exalted. Unhappily Christianity) does not always make a man a gentleman. (It will if he has enough of the1 right kind, being bumble enough to .learn.) Now to those whose every .sense and whose mind appreciates the difference between a boor and a gentleman it matters little what positive virtues one may possess if he offends every taste by a selfish disregard of the feelings of others. Imagination is necessary to this. Until it is learned to "Put Yourself in His Place" it is impossible. One who is courteous, thoughtful of the pleasure of others. will rank in t lie esteem of his fellows far higher than a much better man whose outward seeming is repulsive. It is true that much of the "goodness" of some people comes merely of happy success in life?they have had nothing to sour or disappoint?life has been a happy holiday?plenty of mouey, plenty of friends, travel, diversions of many kinds?they have no temptation to look, even on a beggar, other than smilingly. Another, perhaps a belter man, certainly one le-s pleading in manner, will be detested, despised, by reason of his coldness, boorishness, carelessness of the rights of others. But through all shows that mysterious! something've call personality. Is it; not the expression of character? Is all this very wrong??that we should prefer mauner above worth. We recall the word prefer?we are not won by painted falsehood?its worthless!! ess is soon shown by its ready tarnish?but real worth will make itself il'll, IIIC i Veil vaaiuLvri M HI nuun uracil, .Sinner or (nominal) Christian will soon show whether there is real kindness within, whether selti&hne.-s or love is master. A'i OrgauM'j Dream. Lokisviixk, Ivy., September 25.? The .JeffersonStreet Methodi-t Church, which was dedicated here hy Kishop Keener lust Sunday, would have been in ashes the day before but for a singular dri uuof Miss Belle Ferguson, the uhurcl: organist. Miss Ferguson was much interested in the coming dedication and had worked assiduously to get the new organ in good condition. The matter weighed heavily on her mind, and on last Thursday night she dreamed several times that the organ was in bad condition. The next day she could not shake off the impression, and on Friday evening she grew so uneasy that she took a f'rieud and went to the church. As soon as they opeu-l ed the door they found the altar begin-1 i:iug to blaze from a bundle of rags! wiiirn nan oeen useu in oumg unu: varnishing the wood work.

Hincs, the efficient and accommodating freight Agent of the railroads at Florence, while superintending the transfer of a car of lumber, was struck by a heavy piece of timber which slipped oil' the car and crushed lam 1<> the earth.

He is reported of next day as doing as well as eoukl be expected (hough his sufferings were intense. Mr. Hines is one of the most prominent and highly esteemed citizens of the town and county.

The "Seventeenth Anniversary of this organization was held in the Young' Men's Christian Association Room in Columbia, October 1, 1S89. Though but few persons were present?more however than last year? the meeting was altogether of much interest. The exercises were commenced with reading the Scriptures and prayer. Nearly all present had something to say tbat was appropriate and good, and they said it briefly and in a way that contributed no little to the interest of the occasion. A modest and intelligent member said pri Vllieiy uiai uie iiiuiuereiice 01 intelligent people, specially ministers of the gospel, toward the cause of peace was a matter of much surprise to him. Three of the persons authorized the enrolment of their names as members of the Society ; the first was a Christian lady. The oilier two were Christian gentlemen. Hie old officers were elected for the eusuing year. The doxology was sung, the benediction pronounced and the meeting adjourned, followed by a warm shaking of hands. It was gratifying to find in the Daily Register, next morning a report of the meeting, though not long yet it was comprehensive and couched in j words of good will. The Peace Society is not dead though some of its members may not know the fact. ? <t> A frightful storm prevailed on Lake Huron Sunday last, October 0. Dangers of Mob Law. One of the signs of the times that j forebodes evil to our country- is the growing disregard of law and waut of ! respect for authority as manifested in j the frequent lyncbings and outbursts af mob violence in different parts of [country. And these uprisings of the | country are not confined to any partic! ular section of the country. They are las common in the North as in the South, in the East as in the West, and in their blind fury are as apt to punish the innocent as the guilty, as in the case of the North Carolina lynching, where it has developed since the lynching that one of the victims was an innocent man. What if the mau is guilty of the most aggravated crime in the criminal calendar, can we, as citizens living under a government founded upon law, and that law based upon the consent of the governed, afford to trample under foot the majesty and dignity of that very law which is our shield and safeguard? Though the victim may be unquestionably guilty yet the reflex influence of this unlaw ful act will be sure to result 111 our own demoralization, and we come to look upon the law finally as a dead letter. Every unlawful act of this kind is a step towards anarchy, and every step towards anarchy is a blow at popular government, and when we have reached the depths of anarchy, perhaps before, some strong man will take hold of the helm and give us a strong, centralized government. So, we can but look upon every act of mob violence as a step towards the subversion of popular government and the establishment upon its ruin of a centralized government. And what is the remedy? Something is wrong away down at the foundation of society, in the family and in the home, and then in the school. Our children and young people must be taught greater respect for authority, for the authority of the father and mother, for the authority ol the teacher and the preacher, for the authority of the magistrate and all the powers that be, and for all the forms of established law. We do not deny that some occasion has been given by those whose duty it is to bring criminals to justice. The law's delays are proverbial, and the escapes from the clutches of the law are more so. Murderers are sometimes not tried for years, until the witnesses are gone and everybody's patience is worn out. In this connection we would suggest to the Legislature that it might be well to elect one or two special criminal judges for the Stale at large whose duty it would be to hold a special criminal court wherever a felonv is commit ted within thirty days after the commission of 'lie crime or after the arrest of the criminal. This would greatly expedile matters, relieve the pressure upon the Circuit Courts and make people feel that there was a prospect of a speedy administration ofjusiice. 01 course it would cost something, but we can afford this if thereby we increase respect for the law and its machinery, and lessen the danger of mob violence. ?Anderson Journal. Returning to South Carolina. Rev. P. B. Jackson, a minister of the Methodist denomination of South Carolina, about one year ago moved to California, going to Ukiah City, where he has been laboring. The DispatchDemocrat of that place thus kindly alludes to him and his labors, in its issue of the 20th of September. Rev. Mr. Jackson was stationed at Darlington Court House for three years and at Ab. beville for two, before he left this State: "Soon to Leave Us.?This community feels that it is about to sustain a great loss in the departure of Rev.

There will soon be opened in Chicago a theological school that will be unique among contemporary institutions for religious training. It is to be called the Bible Institute, and is intended for the educatioiuaud practical training of evangelists. While in some outward features it will resemble the theological seminary of the regulation type as conducted f>y all the Protestant denominations of the present day, In other more essential points it will he analogous to tl'e schools of the prophets as they are believed to have existed in the Old Testament time.

Mrs. Cyrus McCormick, Marshall Field, Carson, Pirie & Scott, E. G. Keith, John V. Faroe! 1, and many others have contributed $250,000 for the founding of the school. Of this sum $75,000 will be used in providing the home for the institution in Pearson street, between Wells and La Salle avenues, on the north side. Both young men and women are to be admitted to the school on equal terms. Miss Gertrude Hurlbert, an experienced teacher from Northfield, Mass., will be Principal of the woman's department when opened. Rev. r. 15.

A gentleman, generous 16 his contriibutions for church purposes, but not; ' regular in his attendance upon public I I worship, was wittily described by a clergyman as being "not exactly a pillar of the church, but a kind of Hying! buttress, supporting it from the outside." The protest of one hundred aud four English ladies against women suffrage in the Nineteenth Century, has led to an almost overwhelming pressure upon the Fortnightly Review which opened its columns to signatures ou the other side. Within a lew days more than tifteen hundred signatures of women of all ranks and classes were received, and it became necessary to restrain the issue of circulars. From among the two thousand names received, about six hundred were selected lor puolication. These are classified. (1) The general list, including a number of countesses and other ladies of title. (2) Wives of clergymen and church dignitaries, including the wives of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Archbishop of York. (3) Official list, including 31 ladies who are poor law guardians, and 23 who are members of school boards.

There is at least one large hotel in America where, to the proprietor's credit be it spoken, tipping is absolute ly forbidden, and means the discbarge of any one found accepting a fee from a guest. Jt is in Chicugo. The subject, whether the future United Presbyterian ministers and elders shall be permitted to use tobacco, is now before the Presbyteries of that Church for discussion and decision. It comes up in the form of two overtures sent down to the Pres byteries by last General Assembly as follows: First, to so amend the Book of government, that any theological student who uses tobacco shall be refuted liccmc to preach; and Second, that no church member who uses tobacco shall be tliffible to the office oj elder.

There is an old story of a great artist in coloied glass. He had designed a window for a grand cathedral, and selected for it some very choice material. After he had completed his work an apprentice gathered up the rejected fragments, and from them designed a wheel window in the same cathedral which was pronounced to be more love ly than the work of his great master, although but formed from his leavings. So our God can from the broken and rejected opportunities of our lives, as they appear to us, make some more precious work than we accomplished with the very best we have. A clergyman was boasting the oilier day that he had "built his church en* tirelyoutof his own head." "I didn't know that the city authorities permited the erection of wooden buildings," was the reply. Religion in its purity is m t so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather, it is a temper leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith : its action, work ; its temper holiness ; its aim obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men. Pride of birth may keep a man warm, but it takes something more than a coat of arms to keep off the pneumonia. The Japanese hitch their horses in the street by tying their forelegs together.

About two months siuce I gave to the public through the Augusta Chronicle a plan for colonizing the negro on the public lands in New Mexico. The article containing my ideas on this subject has been widely copied aud commented on and I take this plan of making a general reply. The propo: sition made by me was, first, to secu. e such au amendment to the constitution of the United States as would give congress the power to pass such laws as would enable it to literally give the government lauds in New Mexico to the negroes, and to pay their way there, even if it cost a billion of dollars to do so. This deportation of the negro iace was not, according to my plan, to take place in a short time, but each State was to be emptied of its negro population in regular order. This plan does not include the forcible deportation of the negro, but he is to be induced to go by th? otter of a free home and free passage to that home at the expense of the United States government. These ideas have been pronounced impractical, while some express the opinion that the South cannot get on without negro labor, others ease their consciences by simply exclaiming that the negro is here to stay, without giving reasons for such a statement. There is still another class, represented by the New Orleans Picayune, which, while admitting the fact that something must be1 done, reject my plan and fail to see how any practical plan can be proposed for deporting the negro. Within the past six months the discussion as to what is to be done or what can be done with the negro has taken a wide scope, and many who six months ago opposed my position, are now on my side. The matter is being discussed in every State, almost, of the Union and as time flies by, it is gathering strength and gradually attracting the attention of thinking men of the land. Day by day the language u?ed is becoming more strong and more cei tain. Week by week it is becoming more plain to those wl.o really understand the situation, and to those who have given it their attention, that the two races cannot live here together. The white man intends to and will rule the South, socially, politically and in every other way, regardless of consequences; but how is the white man to maintain his supremacy when the negroes are growing more agcressive every day and are much inclined to demand social and political equality? If the negro insists on this it does not require a very brilliant rnnid to figure out what the result will be. He who pins his faith to the belief ihat the negro will for a<ies 'to come remain in the same conditioii that be now occupies, is simply dreaming a dream from which he will soon be awakened to find in reality that it was indeed a most deceptive dream. The South cannot allow the negro the semblance of equality in any respect, from the fact alone that he is s;? inferior in everything to the white man. Morals, he has none. He has no icsnect for his marital relations. He does not comprehend what true religion is. He is without ambition,?the true ambition that animates the white man, and lie is actually in the midst of civilzatiou tending toward barbari ism, and the fetichism of his ancestors ot Africa is. to-day, more paltable to his inclinations than the religion as taught by our Bible. Take him all in all he is a different being to our race and not capable of reaching or comprehending our high state of civilization, cram him with all the books learning possible for him to attain. When I consider all of this and the many other things which make the negro totally unfit to be a citizen of the South the question looms up before me,?can any reasonable man, object to his removal? Can any true patriot, or any man who loves this Southland of ours say that lie, the negro, is the kind of ,a citizen we want here ? Kvenif he was the best laborer the South could get, the question stares us in the face,?can we afford to keep him here with all of his evil, low and degrading qualities which menace the peace, the prosperity, the virtue and even the civilization of the South ? Col. T. B. Ediritur+nn of' Mpmnhis. Tpiim.. Senator I ? y r i i Wade Hampton, of this State, Governor Fowle, of North Carolina, The Caucasion, of Shreveport, Ln., j the Age-Herald, of Birmingham, Ala., | the News and Courier, of Charleston, S. C., the Greenville News, of this State, Hon. H. S. Fulkerson, of Yicksburtf, Miss., Hon. G. Frank Ruft'en, of Richmond, Va., Mr. Gibbs, a member of the Georgia Senate and thousands upon thousands of others, join in and cry with me?no !! never !!!. The daily reports of nameless outrages upon white women by negroes, the race conflicts in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and other States, answer with me, no !! never!!! Not while the white mail keeps bis blood pure; not while he rules the world; not while we are continually disturbed in every respect and in every relation in life by the negro, can tiiat question be answered in the affirmative. The cry in answer to it of no I never!! will grow louder and stronger until a quiet solution of the race problem has been accomplished, i or we are forced to solve it by the extermination of the other race. One or! the other event must happen. That is the situation that confronts j ../ A nUimfSnn aa T lin vo CD if'1 I IIS* rv nilUiUiwii azj JL auvv w ivy* ^ w7M.x?, , that never confronted any people in I any country on the face of the earth, I but it must be met and solved whether we desire it or not. Seeing the above to be our situation I proposed.the plan of colonizing the negro in New Mexico as out-lined in ' the beginning of this article. That] plan has met with the objections also, given above. i ! If this plan is impractical let some I I other be proposed that is practical :ukl I will advocate it. To make any ideoii on this subject practical all that' js! necessary is to gain the will of the people. "That "will" overrules every thing and by it only can we mnkej such changes in our national constituj tiou as will give congress the power to act. Do this and the rest is easy. The negro is beginning to see that hei j cannot stay here, as is evidenced by1 ; their conduct and emigration schemes i in North Carolina and elsewhere. He : | is becoming restless, and by the time! j an amendment to the constitution can t '<*Wm 'f$ be voted on and passed, he will be convinced of the tact and will gladly accept a home in the West and a free pass to it. As proof of this and as showing my plan will work, 1 ictVr 10 a press dis- ! pateh of September 21, from Raleigh^-jS\ C., whicii says that on that day^"\ five huudied negro families left that ' State for Southern points, and also stating that the exodus will continue S till the lirst of next January from all over the State. Isow offer them the inducements I propose and see if they will not jump at them. The negro has commenced to emigrate let as help him on. When the abolition of slavery was first undertaken it looked more impractical aud less probable than does now the deportation of the u?gro from the South. Everv thine has to have a beginning, and great and complicated questions affecting ten millions of people cannot spring up and be settled in a day. It requires time and patience. By the freedom of the negro, the South lost euough money to pay for his deportation. It would be, now, simple justice for our national government to square accounts with us by aiding in the deportation of the negro. Since we are in actual danger in many respects on account of his presence here. See what the Charlexton News and Courier says: "The question for present consideration is, what shall we do witn the negro? If he remain here he will ruin himself and the South. The civilization of this section of the country is in peril; the future prosperity of the ne- " 5ro himself is involved in tbe issue, utelligent and thoughtful colored men, who have given the subject the ; slightest study, are impressed with tbe \ I momentous consequences of the situation. White supremacy must be ' maintained in the South, and it will be, maintained by fair means or by unfair; means. Congress cannot settle thBfc^ question by the enactment of unconsvitutional laws; a standing army in the South could not-drive the whiter v people of this section into submission to negro domination." That is the the way talk i9 sounding over the South, and if a quiet solution of this question in some manner as proposed by me is not adopted, an extermination settlement will be adpoted. Make your selection now before it is too late. Try at least to adopt my ' plan. We can lose nothing by doing so, and may gain untold blessings. We cannot afford to wait until the negro population becomes too numerous for us to handle it, and until their number will drive the white man from the South. It is probable that in twenty-live years the negro population of the South will reach twenty I millions, while there is not mucn ' prospect for a great increase of the while population. The negro popula- '1 tion will ceriaiuly increase more rapid- i ly than the white. Take into consideration the piesent increase of the yi negro population and figure out to what numbers it will reach in one hundred years from now, and then ask , the question and answer it, if at the end of that time there will be any j loom heie lor the white man. | In th s connection it ryust be borne in mind :h.-it the negro will ever keep white immigrants from coming among us. Whether my plafi be practical or not, ~ it i* the solemn duty of every white man at the South to consider this matter seriously and to at least urge the . New Mexico idea until another nlan more practical can be suggested. I The real object now is to open the I eyes of the people of the Unite* States to the real situation. We must consider the past and the present and from iliese draw conclusions of what the future will be. Seeing what the future will be, we must prepare for it. The South and its civilization must be saved at any co.st. We can and we must do it. When the South asks for the public lands of New Mexico and free passage, for the negro it is not asking too much. It is simply asking to be relieved from a situation that will in the end, if no relief is afforded, be worse than war, pestilence and famine combined, and that, too, not in tne distant, but near future. Wm. P. Calhoun: Do more than you talk. God hears uot the voice, but the heart. "Temperance aud labor are the two , best physicians of man." Not to enjoy life but to emp'oy life ought to be our aim and aspiration. I The cross is easier to him who takes it up than to hii^ who drags it along. The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. Sleep gives i-ome intermission to the cares and pains and griefs that afflict | us. It is the parenthesis of our sorrows. The duties of husbauds and wives, [ as taught in the New Testament, is one of the strongest and most beautinu 'internal evidence.of the truth of the Christian religion. Most men call fretting a minor fault ?a foible and not a vice. But tbere is no vice, except it be drunkeryie^r* which can so utterly destroyjhe'peace and happiness of a homer"~ There are many ways in which a man can be unjust, without censure from the public, and without violating the laws, but there is no way in which he can be unjust without disregarding Christian benevolence. To be worth anything character must bo capable of standing firm upon H its feet iu the world of daily work, H j temptation and trial; and able to bear H the wear and tear of actual life. *Clois? Hj tered virtues do not count for nJ^&ch. S For your own sake, let your ttioughfc H rise. Bid it, force it, to rise.
