Last Tuesday morning a little before daylight tlic dwelling house of Mrs. K. \V. Mabry of this village wiis discovered to be on fire. The hon>e was situated on tlie .Main stieet, of Anderson road, about two thirds of a mile from the public sijiire. When the tiie was discovered it had made great progress 111 theeioset or little room of the house, and the roof of the adjoining room was on tire. The roof of one part of the house was ready to fall in when the inmates were aroused and the nearest neighbors reached the scene, only a liitle of tlie furniture was saved. The insurance with Mr. Julius H. Dul're, was: t>n tlie house S fiOO . on the furniture Iflki Total S MK> The New York Underwriters were immediately informed of tlie loss, and we presume the matter Will be adjusted without unnecessary delay. This lire cannot be charged, as are nearly all tires, to the kltchcn stove flue. The cook oniii in tlil* itisiimce wiiR the lust to take tire. The tire stems to tmve originated under a corner of the hou^e, mid up to this time no tlellnatc theory or cause for the tire has been ascertained, hut It looks as if an evil disposed person had been there with a torch. TIlC Alliance uml itn Possibilities. (Western Kurat.) The Rural is opposed to uo reasonable plan by which our farmers may be benefitted. It has doubled, however. If the sub-treasury plan which was conceived by the farmers alliance and industrial union would bring strength to the farmer's movement. It has doubted Its practicability; and those who mix with the fanning community will find that many, even among those who originally lavored the plan, are beginning to think that it will not do to urge it. As recently said by this journal anything calculated to repel farmers from our orgnnidations had better not be advocated even though it embrace truth. If we can secure equality for the farmi ug Indus-try?and we can; if we can compel the repeal of class legislation?and we can; if we can secure such legislation as will insure Just methods in the management of railroads?and we can; If we can secure belter methods of taxation, thus relieving the farmer froiu the present onerous and unjust burden of paying other people's taxes as well as his own?and we? can ; and if we can obtain a larger circulating medium? and we will?the farmer will not care a continental. In a short time, under such conditions, ho would not need to want to borrow money of the government or of anybodyelse. And in securing these things he will have the support of millions outside of his own class, and there will be practical unaniminity of sentiment witn respect to these measuresjamong farmers themselves.?

By iippointmenl we are writing a history ol the Saluda Association. We find in the old i records a church by lite name of Kbenezer, 1 which was located somewhere In Abbeville County, and which was reported to and rep- j resented annually in the sessions of this body front lftMi to 1S1G, alter which it disap- 1 peats. Who of your food old citizens can tell f us in what community it was located. The i ltev. Christopher Brooks and Brother Nathaniel Babon were the last delegates to the i Association. Can anyone tell us anything | about Rider Brooks ? The church was constituted In 170:3. | Through an action of this church valuable dates have been preserved. It requested the , Association in 1811 to request all the churches of the union to send in their annual reports | of 1S12, the date of their organization, which i was done, and was printed In the minutes. Any Information concerning this old church i will be highly appreciated and will add an i interesting Hem to our history as a people of 12...I I'mlornnllu w. H. KING. r. S. We have recently understood Unit our brethren of the A. K. Presbyterian church Inive had some little trouble about the lot of laud on which the Bethlehem .Baptist Church stood, which was more familiarly Icnown as (Jroggy Springs. The trouble arose about the title? of the land. Tho lollowing may be helpful, viz., the Bethlehem Baptist Church was constituted in 18&S and by mutual consent was dlsolved In 1851. Thin Is historically true. We also have a positive and distinct recollection that the late Kev. A. Rice, who often preached at the churcb, told us In 1S(!9 that the Baptist had no legal claitns to that latul?that he had investigated the matter satisfactorily. W. H. K. IVANYGE'S REMARKS.

Everything has been very quiet this week and news Is scarce. A street Fakir made his appearance on our streets last .Saturday selling for a quarter a bottle of some kind of mixture. Every quarter spent with him was that much money thrown away and we sincerely hope lor the good of our community that people of his stamp will ply their trade elsewhere. The small revenue that the town receives does not near counter-balance the money taken away that would be spent with our home folks and for something of use.

"I have learned how your mother > 'manages,' and I am going to explain it toyou, since you confessed you didn't know. 1 find that $he is a wife, a mother, a housekeeper, a business manager, a hired girl, a laundress, a seamstress, a mender and patcher.a 1 darymaid, a cook, a nurse, a kitchen gardener, and a general slave for a family of five, She worries from five . in the morning until ten in the night; r and I almost wept when I kissed her r. hand?it was so hard and wrinkled, i and corded, and unkissed ! When 1 saw her polishing the stoves, carrying big buckets of w ater and great armfuls i- of wood, often splitting the latter, I asked wny John didn't do such things for her. 'John !' she repeated, 'John!' and she sat down with a perfectly dazed look, as if I had asked her why i the .incels didn't come down and scrub for her. 4 Why. John, 'she said, i in a trembling, bewildered way, 'be r works in the office from nine uniil y four, you know, and when he comes e home he is very tired, orelse-or else he 1 goes down town.' Now I have Bfecome i. strongiy imbued with the conviction that I do not care to be so good a manager' as your mother. If the wife must do all sorts of drudgery, so must the husband ; if she must cook, he must carry the wood ; if she must scrub, he must carry the wate^; if she ' must make butter, he must milk the cows. Ymi have allowed your mother to do everything, and all that you have to say of her is that she is an 'excellent manager.' I do not care for such a reputation, unless my husband earns the- name also, and, judging from your lack of consideration for your mother, I am quite sure that you are - not the man I thought you were, or one whom I would care to marry.

"The Phrenenolgical Journal." s Take the Broad View. "School is a stupid place," said Tom, dolefully, "an endless round of problems and exercises." "Piano practice is stupid work," says his sister Nora, discontentedly. "I'm sick of scales and octaves, ahd 1 five-tinger exercise." "A housekeeper's work is never i done," sighs the mother of Tom and { Nora, laying down the broom to take ' up her mending basket. "It seems J hard that woman must give up her f girlish freedom and accomplishments merely to darn jackets and wash dishes."

It's a wonder the monotony doesn't drive me into insanity." . Now, as a matter of fact, the lot of this family is not particularly a hard one. But?and in this they represent a very large class?they have never learned to take a broad view of life, 'l'om has never learned to think of his exercises and problems as stepping stones towards an education and towards manliness of character. Nora has never learned to think of her scales and octaves and five-finger J exercises jis the means by which she ( may become an accomplished mu- , sician, and a woman of stronger char- , acter than she could be without some ] such rigorous discipline. Their ] mother has never thought of her mending and dishwashing as a part of woman's best and most bless- j ed work, makingof home and the shap-' ingof character. Her husband has never thought of his bills and accounts as means toward an honorable < independence, towards a comfortable provision for his family and towards ( filling his place in this world of labor and responsibility. No wonder, therefore, thut life and work become, to those short sighted ones, "stupid" j and "monotonous." It will pay us all to take the broad view.?Christian Standard. i The cholera has appeared again in Western Asia and is moving west, j The migration of the expelled Russians Jews, 7, 000 of whom have gone to Aleppo, is aiding to spread it. An epidemic of diphtheria is raging in the Russian province of Tambof, the < consequence of the famine in that district. The rain-making cxpeiiments in Texas have not proved successful, and attention is now concentrated on a t rain-doctor in Wyoming, who, with.[out apparatus, produces showers whenever they are desired. Extracts from the Christian Neighbor! One Thing: and Another. It is one thing to condemn an evil and another thing to surpress it or, what would be better, to cure it. It is no hard matter to And falsities, wrongs ana evils ana to portray and denounce them. And some people seem to think that when they have done this they have about done their duty. So they may so far as they have gone, if their denunciation has been in the right spirit. To check or eradicate evil something else must be done besides talking about It, printing about it. All this may be done by men who, after their deliverances, remain on their "tripods" in their chairs, in their pews and. at prayer meetings. Something more than groaning and mourning over the scandals of the times, must be done. The salt must touch the meat or flesh if the latter would be saved. Those verbal reformers must vacate their theoretical standpoint and in sympathy with the masses, good and bad, ally themselves with the good people and with the good that, may be found in the bad people, and thus leaven society. Or "ye are the light of the world," not intended to be covered under the pulpit, tripod or the chair "bushel" but to shine in the dark places of the world. Let these exposers of evil come down, at least occasionally, and get an experimental knowledge of the best way to cure the evils and by tongues, hand and purse aid the strugling to a better life. Let the wise instruct the ignorant; the rich help the poor; the good help the bad. "We that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to pleafce ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to* edification. For even Christ pleased not himself but, as it.is written, "The reproach of them that reproached thee fell on me." Let those who would abate existing evils. "Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate," and thus will the problem. How shall we reach the masses?" be solved. Banner of Asia. We are in receipt of the July and August Nos. of the Banner of Asia a monthly, published at Tardeo, Bombay; Alfred 8. Dyer, Wallace J. Gladwin and Mau?ceGregory, editors. The motto of thi9 sterling journal is exellewt, "To uphold.the right "of Christ to reignv in the Councils of the Nations." The burden of the Banner is opposition to.the infamous Opium traffic forced on the Chinese by British bayonets, and not China alone but "the whole of India, with its 280,000,000 inhabitants is threatened by the devastating drug." Well may the opium traffic be denounced as a "curse," a "pestilence," a "vampire." The effects of onium on decencv. chastity, in fact on the mind and bodies of those who use it, is, as described in the Banner, enough to enlist the efforts of all philanthropists toward abolishing the loathsome habit. That Holy Coat. Of all the suoerstitious relic frauds which many Romanists swallow down into their elastic and capacious maw, probably none is more amazing than that of the ''Holy Coat." One man of sense speaks out and comes out from among the victims of holy fraud : Could Not Stand the Holy Coat.
