RA I IN GREENWOOD'S GATES, Clowe of tlie Kcliool ? An Auspicious ] Occasion ? Officers at Work ?The Klin Till*. Greenwood, s. .1 une 5, ] The school year of our (Jraded School closed < ou yesterday. It was our pleasure to be pres- ( ent aud see the closing exercises. As we i neared the building on that morning we l heard the voices of more than a hundred chll- I dren rin? out on the air to the time of Dixie. I Every one seemed to leel good over the year's i work, aud yesterday morning books were i Hid aside In order for the pupils and teachers to spend a few hours together in genuine en- f joyment. Uupon entering the building we f lound each ol the teachers with bis or her pu- I pils lu their rooms, conducting exercises to fc suit each one's taste. We went first Into the f room of Miss Xellie Screws to see and bear from the little folks. We were very much impressed with the work in this room. It was wonderful to hear the amount of information which had been crowded into those little he?ds bv their teacher. In the line of a primary teacher we do not believe any school is Hhead of ours, and few. we think, have Miss Screws' equal. From this room we went in to hear Miss Mary McUhee's pupils recite and sing the old national songs. One t would think there was no longer any doubt s of the fact that "an orator Is mnde," if he J could hear those children recite, since all did * so well, even though he might believe Coog- c (er aid the rest of the pouts were born as such. When the teacher had the pupils slntr t "Dixie"' and the "Bonnie Blue Flag" it wan j impossible for the old soldiers, who happened I to be in our party, to restrain themselves. In the excitement one of them had to exclaim, e "That is history." From Miss McGhee's room t we went to hear from the pupils in Miss An- r nie Scruggs'department. Here we found the 1 same kind of exercises in progress, and being performed In an equally commeudably way. i Miss Scruggs favored us with a recitation hersels. which was very good ludeed. After ? Chairman Waller had "laen on" a little phy- 1 KlOIOgy WC wcic auiuLuuuuu iuvw ?uw ? ? ?? rium to see tbe graduates presented with tbelr diplomas. Prof. Spencer made a short talk lo the pupils, urging them to aim high in life, and try to develop in themselves true types of manhood and womanhood. He then stated that tbe President of Converse College had at the opening of the school term offered , two scholarsnips to gir's of the graduating class, who would prove themselves worthy 01 such in scholarship and departmeuf. He presented these scholarships to Miss Daisy Jay . and Miss Lottie Miller. After tbls certificates ' ot graduation were handed to Miss Daisy Jay, ? Miss Lottie Miller, Miss Lillian Austin, Miss *! Mamie Cobb, Miss Viola Holllngswortb, Miss ? Jonsle Wilkinson, and Messrs. Willie Marse and John Henry. This was our second visit * to tbe Graded School, and our observations } prompt us to say that In the school is to be found some of the best teaching talent in the Slate. The children are thorough In all the studies which they uave gone over, ana reflect much credit on themselves and their teachers. We don't believe any man can go through the Greenwood Graded School without being Its friend. On yesterday an election was held by the trustees;for a principal of our school for next year. After a great deal of deliberation and 1 discussion of the merits of the respective candidates, the choice fell upou Prof. Sheridan, of Barnwell. He comes to us with a good record behind him, having graduated at t the Peabody Normal, and having taught for ( twelve years of bis life in the schools of the > State. Many candidates of merit were before the Board, and It is safe to predict that they < have chosen a good man, when they had so ' much material to select from. [ King Winter's Karnival was presented for the second time in Greenwood last week. This play was under the management of Miss * Mary McGhee, and was participated in by about sixty children of the town. The costumes were very pretty Indeed, and altogetb- e er u was one oi iae qiobi pieasuui muti euitsr tainments given In Greenwood for sometime. I Capt. W. C. McGowan, of Abbeville, was In c Greenwood during last week. He came down ' to attend the funeral services of Mr. Frank r Arnold. * t F. Barron Grier, Esq., is absent from town, v being in bis old home, Kingstree, on professional business. Rev. Mr. Leper, an evangelist of the Charleston Presbytery, will begin a series of meetings in the Presbyterian church at this place In the near future. MIbs Daisy Waller has returned home after three weeks absence In Waynesboro, Ga. .She has with her her friend, Miss Sallle Burton, of that place. I Mrs. J. L. Orr, of Greenville, is in the city, being on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. W. P. t Hall, who is sick with fever at Riley's hotel, h Court convenes in Abbeville on Monday. Messrs. E. S. F. Giles, D.

A Greenville Boy Highly Honored In ' Arkansas. l Greenville News. The many friends here of the Rev. John Gass will be pleased to know that this able young Greenvlllian and minister has become Nso well known and much thought of in his adopted State, Arkansas, that at a recent election held to name a bishop coadjutor Mr. Gass tied the vote, and the election was postponed for two months in order that it might be accomplished at a special session. In the report of the council of the diocese of Arkansas, published in a paper of that Slate, . "the following in reference to Mr. Gass is given: "The momentous question before the council was that of the election of a bishop coadjutor?a subject which Bishop Pierce had urged upon the church for decision at the last two councils. At the bishop's request, after several able speeches bad been made by members of both clergy and laity, the clergy accompanied the bishop to his residence across the 6treet, for a private conference, in order to make the nomination. After a two hours' , conference the clergy returned to the church ' and submitted to the laity. who bad remained ] there, the name of the Very Rev. William ] DIUWU, rttUUUfttWU \l I IliU U1U* f cese ol Ohio, for confirmation, to All the office of bishop coadjutor. "The nomination was rejected by the laity. Tbe meeting adjourned till 8 p. in., having come to no choice between tbe two clergymen, the Ilev. William Montgomery Brown and tbe Rev. John Gass, of Christ church, Little Rock, who held a tie vote. At 8 p. m. the clergy again retired to the Episcopal residence for consultation, with no more satisfactory result. It was then moved and adopted that tbe choice of a bishop coadjutor be postponed for a special session to be called by the bi6hop at the end of sixty days."

There is tbis to be said iu the matter a >f the Senate's delay to pass the Treaty J >f Arbitration, that it is only withiu a p ;welve-montb that the minds of many U >f our people have reached the point of iccepting, as really practicable, such a lolution of international differences as ;hat which is now definitely proposed, [t is being seen on all sides that the 0 neans in order to this are all available, w f there be only the willingness present ti :o lay hold of them. The eudeavor for b he rescue of tbis most beneficent 8i principle of state polity, has endued It s with an elementof worth and preciousjess which it might not have possessed c )ut for the risk of its loss. It does t lot do, however, so.trifle with a con- h fiction, and this, I fear, is what the i< najority of the opponets of the treaty j{ n the Senate are doing. They aie ? well aware that the sense, the moral i\ weight of the Americau people is on s ;he side of the enactment of the treaty, ]( ;hat the latter is primarily operative (j or five years only, and that if in the j| interim it exhibit defects aud weak- t lesses these can readily be cured when he time shall have arrived for the a :reaty's re-enactment and extension. v [add here a circumstance of recent c lappeuing, taken from the Chicago Fribue, supportive of the view of p uauy that, irrespective of the moral i ind religious argument, the time has u 'ully arrived when war ought to be H loue away with because of its exceed- (j ng barbarity and cruelty. Following 0 s the Tribune's statement and wise S; jonclusion: The suicide of Captain j, Philo McGiffen is a most pitiful thing, ti ind is an event which directly con- u ^noirol rvAWOt* in t ho WHI'IH. XlUn g ? 11 J Ait* TWA J/V ? \'? ? ? V*<V -r v..... yThe Tribunegave the particulars of bis j] ifllictiou some days ago. He com- j. uended the Chinese fleet in the fight a >fYa!u river in September 1894. He ti tvas on board the ironclad Chen Yuen. f( He came out of the battle a physical wreck. His clothes were torn from aim just by the concussion of the shots igainst the ironclad. The drums of ioth ears were broken by the reports )f the big guns, and the shock to his y aervous system was so great that he n ;ould not rally. In a few months he became insane, and finally, to end unwearable tortures, he took his own life. [f ever a fleet of great ironclads engage v n war, that is, fleets of first-class j lations, the result will be a moot anxi)us one to all civilized powers.

The spirit of unrest which prevail! very where is one of the most charac eristic features of the times in whiol relive. Excitement is the'one thin* re care for; boredom is a terror to us nd no one seems to have either th< iclination or the time for rest. W< rowd our days to their utmost capaei y, lly from one appointment to an ther, and the amount of work we d< nd the number of engagements w< jlfill in twenty-four hours would hav< lade us stand aghast a few years a^o 'he fashions change so quickly we car ardly keep pace with them; ou lothes are out of date before they an iilfworn out. We stick at notbinj liat will help us to keep up with th< mes and save us from the curse o lonotony. We choose our friend: ritli the same object iu view. Ai mg as they amuse us, we are glad t< ie them ; it matters little what thei :?al worth is. The net result of all this is that w< re terribly superficial, for we do uoth ig thoroughly. We never have ! loment to spare; we have nothing t< bow for all the energy we expend ud we wear ourselves out both in bod; nd mind. In these enlightened am uperior times we tell one another tha *at does not mean inaction, bu hange of occupation, and therefore 'hen one-half of us is worn out ant nfit for further effort, we think, b.1 verworkiug the other, we can restor* lie first to its normal condition. Thei oines the climax, a general collapse i nmineut, and the overtaxed brain i rdered rest and chauge of scene au< ir. The one thing we never do is to rest jook at the faces of the people yoi .leet in the streets. Do you not see i mtteu there? In addition to the pre ccupied and thoughtful look you ex ect to find when people are goini bout their daily vocations, is ther ot something else? A restless energy nervous anxiety to finish what the; re about, aud get on to somethini Ise? In church, in the theater, ii he concert room, this is even more ap inrpnt. still. Thev are as much in re lose as lhey ever are anywhere, am et there is an unmistakable air c estlessness about them, which mua >e apparent to the most casual obsei rer. We ask ourselves occasionally wha ri'1 be the end of all this? It caunc nil to have some influence on the ract >oth in this and suoceedinggerieration: 'an nothing be done to arrest the evil r will th ings run on in the same chat lels until we have turned the corner c he new century, and shall we som lay learn to regulate our lives mor visely ? Let us hope that this wave of unres vill soon have passed over us andh pent; that we may, at some not dis ant date, recover our balance and fac he reiaities of life with more courage or there are evils more to be dreade bau ennui, and if we would make th nost of our lives, we must clieris oftier aspirations than that of mere!, ;illing time. The Art of Beintc Patient. A wise man in an address to youn nen advised them to learn the hardss essoninthe world?the art of bein >atient. He said: 'Do your duty aud leave success t ake care of itself aud then you wi ee the wisdom of the old proverb 'Everything: comes to the man the an wait.' You know, for instance iow hard it is to learn a difficult sul ect. All the ideas are unfamiliar, a] he words are unfamiliar. We goo nboriog and seem to make no waj sow this disheartens nine student ut of ten?the nine out often tha /ill always be obscure people?but th euth man goes on. He works harde ud harder, he lets his mind pla, round the subject, he lets the idea f that subject soak into his brain, h 3 determined that nothing can possibl, esist persisteift efl'ort, and one fin ay a ^reat Hood of light comes in?h uddenly sees about it. His wor] i easy, his;work is delightful. Everj ody says of him : "What an amazin mount of ability that young man has fo, it was not ability, it was patien erseverance. The mau had learned t loor and to wait." 9Ietlio<li*t Singing:. Methodist singing lacks a great dea f being what it used to be. Iti wanting in the power that formerly at ended it. It may be more scientific ut less spiritual. Comparatrvely feu ing at all. Choirs usually do th iuging, and largely they sing newani oaproved(?) tunes, with which th ongregations are not familiar, an< liey are left to sit and listen. The; ave simply gotten behind and Iargel; )st interest in the singing. The las 5sue of the N. Y. Advocate says These things have interfered witl he power of Methodist singing: Th ubstitution of mere sentimental ba] is for spiritual hymns aud songs, th estruction of spontaneity by makinj t difficult or counting it disagreeabl hat volunteer singers should star unes, and by the introduction of music 1 instruments into prayer meetings fhich, unless played in the spirit o ongregational singing, without in erludes, the singer following the im ulses of the people, deaden fervor "he reedy notes of a melodeon ii aany churches have destroyed bas inging, and at the same time obscure* lie sweetness of women,s voices. Om f the greatest helps to congregationa inging is the ability of the singer t< ear himself and others at the sam ime, and the best effects are producei pon those who do not sing when the^ an distinguish the words. Of course n some places, where neither the min *ter nor anyone elsecan raise the tune Jnofunmant nmilM Itu nfll 1 hough usually some one could bi juud." I The Vitality of IlarNh Worih. "Kind words can never die." & .*e used to sing in the Sunday school Ve only wish it were true. Byt as ? latter of fact, ugly words are possessei f the most vitality. The gray-hairet lan wishes sometime that he couli >rget the harsh ami cruel things tha - ere said to him in his far-away youth tut the iron entered into his soul then ud fifty yea& afterwards it is stil unkling. Much of the unhappiuess o fe is caused by good people who cat ever doa paiulul. act, and seldon peak a gentle word. One ofthecuri us contradictions of human nature i: Iiut people who are morbidly aeusitivi o physical sull'ering are wholly indif erent to spiritual anguish. We hav< mown men who could giveaway thou amis of dollars who could not speul ne kindly word to children or depen ents. The Bible beautifully describe lie life of God not only as loving aru iud, but as characterized by "loving iudness," a distinction which few ave mastered, but which contains reat trutb. The chief trouble with our hearts i: hat they are under the rule of golf nther than the golden rule. Observe, we do not pretend to offer j, you a life of unbroken prosperity or of . undisturbed repose. Righteousness j will give you love, joy, peace; but it r will not give an invincible amrlet | against misfortune, nor a continuous j immunity from pain. J'ain, bereaveI ment, failure, may be tbe needful fire . to purge away the dross of your uaiure . from the seven tin es refined gold. > Let Satan tempt you with the transient ? spasms of enjoyment or the mean baits j of ease ; the service of God disdains such lowwr allurements. Yes, the path 1 of evil is broad aud smooth and downr ward, and uear at hand. But t'?il 2 stands in the path of righteousness, r aud that path is narrow and steep aud I rough. Jiut who would exchange its f saddest sigh for the laughter of fools, * which is as the crackling of thorns s under a pot? Who would excnange > the (ears which God's hand shall wipe r away for "the troubles of the envious or the fears of the cowardly, the heavie ness of the slothful or the shame of the _ unclean"? Nay, who would exchange i the banquet of the prodigal, at it? -) maddest and most luxurious moment, for the sternest duty and the heaviest f affliction of his Father's home ? WhatI ever happens to you, if you hungei t and thirst after righteousness, yoi; t shall be satisfied; for then your hungei is not for the stones of the wilderness, j but for the tree of life. You thirst f not for poisoned fountains, but for th< e river pure as crystal, proceeding out o ! the throne of God and of ths Lamb. s For you that tree was planted ; foi s you that river flows. Christ is thai \ River of living water; Christ is thai Tree of life. "All tnings are yours ami ye are Christ's, aud Christ if j God's." Young as you are, have yoi i never thirsted for something to calrr and satisfy and give peace to youi > souls ? Well, he that corneth to Chris ? shall never hunger, and he that be e lieveth on Christ shall never thirst and if you have failed to win the bless y ing, may there not be a special meaning g for you in that appeal? "O that thoi a hadst hearkened to my command ments! Then had thy peace been as i river, anil tny rignieuusneas u? m? j waves of the sea." But if you hav< ,f hearkened to God's commandmentsit if you have, at least, striven to hearkei to God's commandments?then you set that what God gives he gives richly ,t he gives abundantly. It is no dribblinj rivulet of peace which he pours int< >f the thirsty soul, but a rejoicing river no transitory torreut, butan abounding ? tide, rising in his children as wate rises in a fountain, dwelling iu then ,f as water dwelleth in a mighty sea e This is his promise, and it we fulfil e its conditions, it can never fail ; fo the mouth of God hath spoken it, au( it God is true. e }e The Lord Glvca.-Wlll We I'ay On Debt. d We are accustomed to talkofgivinj e to the Lord's work.
