' ESTABLISHED 1844 fj l CHINA LETTER. EiimIku T. 1>. I'urkrr Writes Kiltertain lute From Hie Seal ?> War in I lie EhnI. I'. S. S. Princeton, Hong Kong, China. July lii, l!*io. We have been here since Thursday evening (this Ik Monday) and expect to reave for .Sawtow today. My hours of duty have fallen j better this time I spent both Saturday and! Sunday ashore and have seen euougn ol j Hong Kong to convince me even as a stranger, sees it, it Is one ol the most attractive spots in the Hast. The distinction between uptown and down-! town Is much more marked here than it iH in I most places from the fact that uptown is at the top or on the sides ol a high and steep i mountain. If Chimney Top were terraced and bricked) up ail the way, you wouid linve aoout what ttie hill portion of Houg Kong is. Kven down by the waters edge, the land aud sea views are good, the bouses are large and handsome, the park In the centre ol thinus is luxuriant with tropical evergreens aud dowers, but the Peak, as upper Houg Kong Is called, is the most beautiful place lor living i have ever seen. The plateau is higher aud the view exceeds that irom West Poiut, which is saying a good deal. The Aral day I went ashore, after wandering about in the valleys ? wandering sounds too sloww for there Is QotaioK alow about Jinrickishas. I walked to the terminal station of the peak ft tramway and exposed my nie in a cumo 10 Sp the summit. There lsnosnaklngand circling I'* about mis tramway, It attacks tbe bill in the 1 centre and goes right up at an angle slightly ? , less than'90. Tbe cars are controlled by an endless cable wblcb pulls an ascending and v at tbe same time checks a descending car, so tbat tbe two are balanoed and tbe power honseJiM only friction to contend with. An i extra or olutob rail (to be seized If tbe oable ' breaks*,!" provided lor tbe benefit of nervous ladies.v About ball way up, I could look ' down ?nd ?ee practically tbe en'.lre harbor? thick With meu-of war and big liners of all tbe greater nations, and dotted with numberless native sampans. Tbe trade of Hong Kong la Immense. English, French, American, Japanese liner* are lylpg In tbe .harbor all tbe time. Tbe shipping therefore makes a very pretty sight, even when you stand on your bead and look down on ft from the mountainside. . V i < At the (op I found a handsome hotel, froifi which wblle resting, I oonld get a capital three-quarter round view. Justin front ls-a big Jagged peak which has not yet;bpen at> tacked by tbe bouse builders. Further to the left are several other big peaks, balf covered with handsome bouses. Tbe Engllshjlinew a number of things. How to Dulld enog dwelling places, bow to lay out tenni# oohrts, bow to organize clubs, and getprall* how to enjoy Ufe from the Innocent mante stanlpolnt. (I don't mean to say they ddn-'t understand the oiber side.) An I walked along (he splendid solfdfawads of the peak, I enjoyed looking at tte- hqtoaes, lawns, flowers and so on/atmoH.mEnfBBSia looking down a few thousand ?fee ' gorges and valley and at theseab^MHt The rnnoeiou iou?tu mo a yvm&yj There were maDV?rgerrbui do prattler and more graoeiul sbipffenchored below. ' 1 baa run aoroa* a civilian acquaintance at the hptel?a. New York engineer, ahd took . wltb Dim a very enjoyable walk round one 01 i tbe peaka. We passed many bouses built lai - to tbe bill, aides, that lb America would be long only to tbe millionaire class. They . *7i were ' wildly bolll with g&sa enclosed verandas, flowers, gardens, (tbe'gardens Here are very pretty ana luxurlaUt) aagi In. many oases beautilal perfect Ihwdb, 'gjrtfen. and smooth. Sometimes tbe tenaU courts #? ! masonry, sometimes or Ideal graMii,-'JktyQgetner Hong Kong people oeflm to get alsoou every thing theft) is in life (except Grand- Opera) with a repose tbat we Amtrioantf -know aotblog of. 1 don't think the people we saw drinking tea, or playing,tennis In that cool air, or strolling or riding In chaira aloog'the faultless picturesque walks up there, could have been much happier anywhere in tbe world. Tbe Chinese servant does more than you expect him to do. tblnks and smile* "most of the time. If you expect guests, you tell ah cam "five piece men come tonight" and he doeB everything. He considers domestic service bis billet In llle, and does not seek to be a greater gentleman than his master. He doesn't charge much either. Most things come at about hull price out here. lo this free port even European and Americau goods are olten cheaper than at home, and of course the products o 1 the country?ill the necessaries of life are very cheap indeed. A dollar (Mex) In Hong Kong (50 c-nts) seems to do Just about whata dollar in gold does at home. I dined at the Peak with the American I spoke of. Up there, as at tbe big Hong Kong Hotel below, the people usually dress for din tier. After a very good dlODer with sorae Cbateaw LaKose claret which would come high at boiue, we see the night views, whlob in 1 ih way, is as tine as the other, "'Ji' A hundred thousand llghw wera^iwinfefllng below us over far out into tot harbor where every Sampan had Its lantern, weal 1 down about ten o'clock and returned to the ship for "all night In." Next day alter Sunday Inspector, and a struggle t:> restore my room so m to leave space to dress in, I again went ashore and after a jinrickisha ride Into tbe country, again vlsit-ed tbo Peak. Tbe jinrickishas are wheeled chairs with buggy shafts between which tbe Coolie ' burns tbe wind," Tbe Coolie never gives out except at a very Bteephlll. For aU bis labor,?he will run for an hour or two without stopping, and will keep at it pretty much all day,?he gets lie (mex)or7cgoid an hour. II you don't like the ever present I ricksha, you can get a chair with two coolies at each end of the swinging shafts. This Is like riding on a movable Joggling board. If a rickshaw man thinks you are a "(iriffln anew comer to the East, he always demands two or three times his money. Yesterday we hired Kickshaws lor exactly one hour lor which we owed l-5c. We paid ten cents each for soda water which our coolies seemed to want, this of course as a "Cumsbaw" or gift aud then handed them '20 Instead of l.jc to save trouble In making change. They looked outraged aud asked for 40c. I threw the "JOc on the ground and walked off. Last night however I tried the expertV ment of paying i he exact fare ioc. My coolie objected, but as I paid no Htteuiion to him he abut up. ButJbe chief stopped to argue, and his coolies became violent. We weiedown on the western frout with no policeman In slgiit.. but a threat to report their number bushed them for a moment. As we s.'ioved oil however, thev shouted in loud and angry voices "Sut-fl-o, sut-fl-o," meaning I believe to "cut t i.o i.uiuU <if the forelen devils." 1 usual Iv overpay a little out bare, but do matter what I you pay ti?-re or In tbe Philippine, tbe driver always makes a noise unless jou ignore him! completely. We dined at tbe Hong Kong Hotel which compares favorably with the best New York hotels, and alter eating heartily and skipping a course or two, we'pald 50c gold for the dinner. As the veranda was not very breezy, we smoked our cigars in Crickshaws which made their own breeze while we looked at the people. Hong Kong is more truly cosmopolitan thau any place I have seen. As you stand at a street corner, you may easily hear Russian, German, French, Japanese, Chinese. English all spoken within ea?y earshot. The population consists of 200,000 Chinese or more, and 14,000 Europeans, but the Chinese keep out of the way. It is very .interesting to walk the streets watching the English soldiers with their caps perched on one side of the head and held down by their chiu straps, the Japanese in their graceful national costume, the Chinese women with their coats and trousers, and all Ibe other odd looking people. From our standpoint every store Is a bargain counter. We sail in .an hour or two, the landing party of which I am the "No. 2 man" drills every day. We may have a shot at the Celestials. ABBEVILLE'S GAIN. Mr. 4'. W. Keudall Moves Irom Mail liiitr To Abbeville. Manning Times. Mr. C. W. Kendall Is no longer a merchant Id Manning, having moved lo a larger field, tbe city of Abbeville. Mr. Kendall's move' will be a great loss to the people of Clarendon county, for It was he who did much towards building up the fine trade of this town.

Morrison, who for years was a Methodist pastor id Atlanta and who was elected bishop at a recent general conference, Is being criticised for an address delivered in Louisville the other day, In which he is quoted as saying : , "Thank God that Allen and Lambeth over there and the Methodists in this country are responsible for the present trouble in China. With bowed head I thank God that in some small way I am to blame lor'the unrest in China today. I thank God that each and { every one of you and all the Methodists In thi? country are to blame. It Is the Itineracy , of Methodism.-' Bishop Morrison Is one of the believers in | the idea that war in tne Philippines and in , China is opening the way to the more rapid , spread of Christianity, and that any agency | that contributes to this end is to be praised, eveu though that agency is war. Meu who believe that war is woful and wicked think , the language ol the bishop was not in keeping with his hlgii calling and the proprieties. It is likely that the bishop will be able to look alter his critics and defend his words if he thinks it desirable to do so. REDUCED RATES. Annual Convention, Colored Odd Fellow*, I,onlsvllle. Ky?

Mr. Paul Reese and his sister Miss Annie Reese, of Elberton, were lor several days with the Misses Bowman last week. Mr. and Mrs. Andrea Pressly, of Elberton, spent several days last week withe family ol Mr. U. L. Clinkscales, father-iu-law of the flrBt named. Kor a few minutes Tuesday evening there was quite an exciting time on Main Stret. Mr. W. W.Thompson's horse was bitched to the buggy and fastened to a hRobing post. Along came two gentlemen in a buggy driving a mule. The mule, like mules will some times, wouldn't go forward, but It went backward In fine style aud ran back against Mr. Thompson's horse made It break the bridle and it left la a hurry, but It went bat little ways, before the buggy and harness were broken up. Another evidence that it is always better to hold or unhitch a horse and mule when not in actual use. Any other course is at least sometimes expensive apd dangerous. It is especially so to women and CBMureu Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Clinkscales, Including those jf the name, and their descendants in reach. At that meeting, It was resolved to hold a reunion, at some suitable place every Ave years, but for cause, another year was added the intervening time, and six years were allowed to go by. On last Wednesday, at L'ook's a station about eight miles above here on the Savannah Valley, ft. R. there was tinother coming together of this very large lamliy. In due time an address of welcome, was delivered by Miss Valerie Clinkscales. Then there was a speech by Hon. J. Li Orr, Hon. Geo E. Prince, Prof. Jno. G. Clinkscales, and Mr. Lawrence Orr Patttersou. Then there was a recital eacn by Miss Ellen Sherrard and Miss Elma Clinkscales. This ended the literary part of the program. At the proper time, dinner in great variety^nd abuudance was served. Thin and alfl^Mf occasions, serve. In anticipation and retll^Hf Lion, to keep alive that good fellowship i^| love that should always exist between kindred, and the bringing together of those united by the ties of tlesn and blood, and their interchange of experiences and pleasures, proves a benediction not soon forgotten.

The Interdenominational meeting, as per appointment, began in Providence church, this place yesterday week ago. at 11 A. M. llov. J. A. Brown, of the Baptist church preached the opening sermon. Since then, eucu uhj-'s services Degan wun a prayermeet- j lug service Ht 10.80 A* M. Tbe hours for | preaching 10 A. M. were used by the res pec | live pastors of our three churches, Baptist, I'resbyterlau and Methodist alternately. Although it was very hot, dusty and disagreeable there was much luterest shown In the meeting as was evidenced by the large congregations present at each service. Revs. J. A. Brown, H. C. Fennel, and Peter Stokes, gave to their hearers good souud gospel mes-1 artges, which it is hoped were awakening and convincing, and will be productive of much ' good In our community. The meeting closed I with tbe 11 A. M. service Saturday. There [ were about ttlieeu accessions to tbe three! churches. CHOI' KKl'OKTS. It is very unpleasant to give unfavorable reports, but some of tbe readers ol tbe Pre** and Banner, living at a distance, who once lived here would like to bear something of the crop conditions around this place. The prospects before many of us are anything but encouraging. On many of the faims there is not a stalk of corn, the excessive rains hav- j ing destroyed it. and then it was too late to j plant again. A friend told this writer a daj or two ago, that upon the farm on which he was living upon which there had been us uaily made, from 1200 to MOO bushels, that this year, there would not be as much aN I seventy live bushels made. There has beeu ! but little rain, for several miles around this, place for nearly two months. The hot sun j has. parched up everything, pastures have I dried up. The grass and pea vines which ] many relied upon for their forage, nre ol but little account. The cotton Is prematurely opening and without rain soon to check it,! the crop will be very short. Peaches of] which there was such an abundant crop, are i small tough, and not half so palateable as | usual. Thece are some of the Injurious effects | of Hie severe drought. There are at least two 1 very unpleasant things connected with j it, the heat and dust, both of which at times I are almost intolerable.

In the course of a talk Da Maurier described a tragic affair that occurred at th* A.ntwc;rp academy, where he was studying jnder De Keyner and Van Lerins. "It was on a day in Van Lerius' studio," he iuid. "that the trreat tragedy of my life )ccurred." The voice of I>i Maurier, who till then iiad been chatting with animation, sudleulv fell, and over his face came an indeinabie expression of mingled terror and inger and sorrow. "I was drawing from a model, when mddenly the girl's head seemed to me to Iwindle to the size of a walnnt. I clapped ny hand over my left eye. Had I been nistaken? I could see as well as ever. 3ut when, in Its turn, I covered my right iye, I learned what had happened. My eft eye had failed me. ' It might be altogether lost. It was so sudden a blow that ! was as thunderstruck. Seeing my dlsnay, Van Lerius came up and asked me vhat might be the matter, and when I old him he said that it was nothing; that le bad had that himself, and so on. And t doctor whotai I anxiously consulted that ame day comforted me and said that the ocident was a passing one. However, my ye grew worse nnd worse, and the fear of i total blindness beset me constantly, ["hat was the most tragio event of my life, t poisoned all my existenoe." Du Maurier, as though to shake o?f t? ronbling obsession, rose from his chair nd walked about the room, cigarette in iand. "In the spring of 1859 we heard of a reat specialist, who lived in Dusseldorf, nd we went to see him. He examined ay eyes and said that, though the left eye ras certainly lost, I had no reason to fear )slng the otber, but that I must be very arefnl and not drink beer or eat obeese, nd so on. It was very comforting to :now that I was not to be blind, but I ave never shaken off the terror of that ipprebension. "My life waBa very prosperous one from he outset in London. I was married fn 868, and my wife and I never once knew iianolal troubles. My only trouble has een my fear about my eyes. Apart from bat I have been very happy."?Westminsbt Budget. PASSING OF THE GYPSY. tomany Rjm Gradually Disappearing From the H?nnU of Men. The gradual disappearance and eztlnolon of that picturesque vagabond, the enuine, shnon pure gypsy, has caused iuch comment, but the reason for tbe dy3g out of the old raoe is somewhat dlffi lt to find. There are probably more Dvlng, wandering vagabonds in the world sday than ever before, but a real Romany i seldom found even in England, where e formerly flourished. In tbia country Bal gypsies were never numerous and are xlay less so than ever before. They are ccasionally met with, but the bands are Ither very small, or are composed of horse rading scamps and fortune telling "fairs," who have not a drop of the Romany lood in their veins. In the old days tbe gypsy impressed himjlf and his personality on the literature nd tbe art'of the countries in which he samed. It was a poor novel that did not itroduce a gypsy fortune teller, and a oor play that did not have at least one hild stolen by gypsies, while the artists iirly reveled in studies and sketohes of molrfonn Tint t.Vin mmolM nf tnHnu Jjjaj iuu.-v..o. ?"? O./ I ? J o not indulge in any child stealing prollvities, although they occasionally make "bluff" at telling fortunes. As for the hildren, they usually have enough of their trn not to bother their heads and risk tieir liberty by stealing those of other eople. ' A band of gypsies which appeared in the rovince of Quebec the other day actually ried'to sell their own children, arguing ,iat times were so poor that they were no )nger able to provide for the' little ones, o it can readily be seen that the day of ie gypsy is past. If he ever had any asejlnoss, he has long ago outlived it.? j 'roy Times. Qoeen Bess and Her Sailors. Queen Elizabeth personally liked her iilors and their way of life. She had all i woman'8 love of the adventurer. They , rought her money, finery and flattery, nd she dearly loved all three. But they aited not only her tastes, but her policy, 'here was a mutual understanding be- ! tveen them. If, for reasons of state, it j 'as necessary to disown their privateering ???? mKon tKoTT troTA tHnmnhnntlv nccessful, they must reckon on her hard rords and black looks. \f It was safe to oknowledge them, thdy were rewarded 'ith open smiles and favors. Thoroughly haracteristlc, for example, was her treatlent of Franois Drake when the ever lorious Pelican came home, leaving a ake behind her whioh went right round tie world. He had laughed at Spanish rotests, plundered Spanish treasure, , dwds and 6hips, with the light hearted i udacity of the gentleman bandit, and i nchored at Plymouth with an ?1 Dorado j 1 his hold and the shouts of admiring England in bis ears.

I A long and a bitter struggle he had, his Anton Rubinstein, before he seoured ' lis fame and his fortune. He used to de- 1 ight in showing his friends the portrait 1 f an old man who once bought all the 1 ickets that were sold for one of his ja- : enile recitals. And he had even a better ' tory than this. At Nijni Novgorod, fhen he was only 13, he gav<t a concert phich attracted an audienoe of only one. Jrilliantly the little fellow played for two 1 iours, but not the slightest applause was ' orthcomlng. Then he stopped and ad-1 ressed his audience politely, asking if his j (laying did not'deserve a little encouragenent. The dilettante leaned forward to atoh the words addressed to him, and the 'oung pianist was stupefied to find that lis only listener was as deaf as a post!

POWER OF ORATORY. Good Voice azid Flue Presence Count For Much. Itls a fine thing that words have power to burn and that in the flame of eloquence a deal of trumpery and Btuffy notions are readily consumed. It has been said that genuine oratory is gone, but now and then the spirit of the mightiest power that moves masses of men shows its everlasting vitality in a notable way. With sincere personal conviction to support him a man with a good voice and that gift of adding phrase unto phrase which is indefinable may enchain a great convention, hold thousands of men pliant to his thought and feelings, or he may charm and cheer his hundreds in a banqueting hall , The secret of genuine oratory, of the sort that moves and stirs all hearem to responsive emotion, is always to be found at the center of a storm of honest feeling on the part of the orator. It Is concealed in the hidden places of the interior life and i* the more effective when its restraint is shown even in the whirl of impassioned words or noble marshaling of phrase after phrase. Private views and narrow contentions, personal wishes, never have a chance for exposition in oratory that moves men and wnmfln Tf, mnfifc pmrpun larrm nrlnrlnlna largely, or its influence never remains, nor has the fame of any orator endured except of those who spoke for the largest conviction and desire of the mind of man. The earliest movement which freed Boston from England, although Lord North used to assure his countrymen that "no other province will in the least countenance tho rebellious Bostonians," was kept alive by the orators of Boston. The orations on the massacre, delivered in the Old Brick church, on the site of Cornhill square, or at the Old South church, were attended by immense crowds of people. It has been well said that these patriotic orations are a protective shield to our constitution. "There are few men of consequence among us who did not commence their careers by an .oration on the 5th of March," wrote John Quincy Adams. And in these days, when, by aid of descendants of the "rebellious Bostonians," the stars and stripes have waved in peace at Aldershot, oratory is lending its time honored aid in the promotion of arbitration between the English speaking nations. To the day and the deed Strike the harpstrlngs of glory. Let the tongue of the eloquent Hallow the story. ?Boston Transcript Food and Character. That certain kinds of food aflecfc a man mentally, morally and physically is well known. It is by no means impossible that porridge has contributed largely to the characteristics of the Scotch; that it makes their men brave, brawny and shrewd, and their women blithsome and bonny, and their whole nation pious. A professor of physiology insists that the inferiority of the Celts is due to their universal use of the potato as the chief staple of diet He says that no man can live on potatoes and amount to anything. An exclusive diet of potatoes has no doubt contributed largely to many of the characteristics of the Irish. Beef and beer through many generations have no doubt had their inlluenco on the Englishman. They have mado him stubborn. opinionated, self assertive and a good fighter. His intellect, like his beer, Is both strong and heavy, and not infrequently tinged with bitterness. The French, with their notable variegated diet, are equally whimsical in their minds. This is also the case with the Americans, who have 1 perhaps the most versatile minds as well as the most abundant bill of fare of any nation. W'3 will not go so far as to define which is the cause and which is the effect, but we insist that the diet of tho average Londoner is far from being the best for his physical and mental health.?London Hotel. Whence the Acorn? The male flowers of tho oak are gathered In distant dusters round a long, swaying Btalk. They approach much nearer to the conventional idea of a flower individually. Instead of being u mere aggregation of anthers, or pollen cells, on 6imple scales, those of the oak are possessed of distinct Btarlike, hairy calxces, each marked off into six or seven lobes and containing ten slender stamens, with two celled anthers. Then the female flowers, which are usually two or three, near each other, but not connected, consist each of an ovary, with three short curved styles, and invested by n. calvx that adheres closely to it and be comes the husk, or shell, of the acorn. The whole, except the styles, is held in a cup formed of many email overlapping scales, which afterward lose their individuality and shrink Into mere roughness on the outBide of the cup that holds tho acorn, for only one of the six ovules contained in the ovary develops into an acorn (seed or corn of the ac, or oak).?Good Words. Oddly Shaped Spider*. The most peculiar spiders in the world, as well as the largest ones, inhabit the island of Sumatra. They are of all conceivable forms and colors, and some of them spin threads almost as large and strong as the grocer's twine.
