A friend and neighbor said to me : **Of graces named, there are bnt three Faith, Hope, end blessed Charity." "Three more," I said, " there should be, friend, Three more to bless us to the end ; May heaven to us this trio send. ' \nd if to listen you'll agree, I'll tell their precious names to thee: Love, Patience, and sweet Courtesy." Love should with Faith go hand in hand, And Patience wait at Hope's command, While Courtesy equipped should stand AtCbarity's wide open door, Ana as her ministrations pour Upon the people, go before.

AUGUSTA, GA , April 0.-When the late Gov. Stephens died a move ment was put on foot to purchase Liberty Hall, in which the dead statesman had spent his life, and erect upon the ground a monument to his memory. After most strenuous ef fort3 the amount collected thus far is only $371.95. So it is very likely the project will have to be abandon ed. What makes this apathy to ward the collection of money for such a monument more remarkable is the fact that hundreds of young meripin Georgia owe all they have to the late Governor's generosity during his life. For the last forty years Mr. Stephens never had less than ten beneficiaries receiving education for which he fur nished the whole mean?. These men have gone out into the world, entered .the trade of law, many of them amassed fortunes, while all of them are well io do. Notwithstanding ail_ this, when a modest sum is asked;to ^ commemorate the name ot their ben efactor most niggardly replies are received. This show s how much grat itude this people have. The body ot the late Governor, which yet reposes in Atlanta, will be removed to Craw fordaville in a few weeks, where it will be placed beside that of his mother, whom he never saw. Mr. Stephens u?ed to tell that when boy it was his wont to go to the grave of his mother, and, Hying upon his back the.e, he would look up into the passing clbuds and endeavor to catch a glimpse of his mother's face there ??ow he is to repose by her forever. Courier Journal. X Coffin, a shroud, a Hearse. How a Greenville Man bas Arranged for bis own Funeral. From time to time reference has been made to the calmness and fore sight which R. P. Roddy, of this city, has exhibited in making preparation for a decent and respectable funeral and burial place. He is determined that his remains shall have nothing but a respectable and becoming inter ment and that his grave shall not be a simple, barreo mound of clay. The attention which he has already be stowed upon the lot in which hie re mains are to rest, has been described Now there is nothing more to be done. His coffin, his shroud and his hearse are now Becured and arrange meats for a very nice funeral are completed. Mr. Roddy has been ne gotiating for some time with L. R Ciiue, the well known undertaker, for an outfit for a house of clay. Mr. .the-ffrice of a coffin. Mr. Cline told him that he could give him "a nice one" for fifty dollars. Mr. Roddy said that';was higher than he wished to pay. A fifteen dollar one was suggested, but Mr. Roddy still hesitated. He then inquired the price cf a shroud, and was informed that they ranged from five to ten dol lars. Mr. Roddy chose the five dol lar one. Then the hire o? the hearse was discussed. Mr. Cline named ten dollars. Finally Mr. Roddy in dicated that he would pay thirty dollars for the funeral outfit -fifteen for the coffin, five for the shroud and ten for the;hearse hire. Meisrs. Ciine and Roddy went into a 6tore on Main street to draw up the agree ment and c?ese the bargain. But Mr Roddy still thought that bis funeral expenses were too steep. He sug gested a cheaper coffin-a five dollar one. The amendment was accepted and the som was reduced to twenty dollars. Then Mr. Roddy wanted ten moie dollars deducted, but he could "scale" the rates no lower and he therefore handed over the twenty dollars. Mr. Cline gave his receipt and the trade was perfected. Mr. Roddy was anxious to have Mr. Cline's services, wishing no one else to do bis undertaking.-Greenville News. ___________ ?&* Jersey bull and Jersey bull calves firaalo. [6j O. F. CUKATHAM. Our Sister Republic. Happy Maimers in tbe Land of God and Liberty. Sprivg/ield Republican. ZACATECAS, MEXICO, March, 25 - Assassinations are of not unfrequent occurrence here, and human life is val ued 1PS8 than the "beasts which perish." An ex Governor of the State, General Cardonas, who has been prominent in politics for many years and figured in more than one revolution, has lost no less than nineteen of his immedi- te family l y the red hand of murder. The other day an attempt was made to assassinate him, his carriage being waylaid by masked men.as it was re turning to his ranch about three miles from town. It happened that the general had remained at home that day, and only his nephew, wife and sister were in the carriage. The nephew was killed in his stead, and also the coachman, one of the shots grazing the sister's cheek. The hordes were cut loose and the terror-stricken wemen ordered to walk home as fast as their feet could carry them, which command it is needless to say they 1 obeyed, leaving their dead in the dus ty road. This being merely a " po litical disturbance" it attracted no particular attention, and the assas sins are still at large. Nobody thinks of riding outside of city limits, or, indeed, within them alter night-fall? without being well armed and at tended. Betsey and I, with two oth er ladies, were invited to spend yet terday at a hacienda five miles away. The e egant barouche, drawn by six clipped mules, which was sent for our conveyance, contained four shining pistols in its inside pockets, for the use of the ladies in case of emergency* The coachman and footman. were equipped Vith two revolvers and a kuile apiece, and two out riders ac- ' companied us, each with gun, sword and pistols fastened to his saddle. 1 But soon this was not considered sui- ' fiuient, and two gentlemen on horse back, each with his armed and mount ed servant, joined in the escort, mak- 1 ing quite a cavalcade, bristling with the implements of warfare, as we woui d over the silent mountain road. Owing to a belated dinner, it chane ed^ttat we dia not return at the 1 nour expected, and as darkness came on the friends io town fell into a wild state of ranxiety, fancying. tha.t 1 our mangled remains might be some- 1 where decorating the wayside. 1 As an instance of how little 1 regard the'government has for life, 1 let me tell you a pitiful story : A child was missing from a mining set < tlement at the edge ol Zacatecas, and 1 as weeks went by bringing no trace ' ct him, the distracted parents i mag- 1 ined he had been kidnapped. There- 1 upon some thirty persons, most of ' them laboring men about the mines, 1 were taken out and shot on the merest ' suspicion that they might know about 1 the lost boy ! About three months ] afterward somebody happened to ' look down into a deep hollow (pioba * bly an abandoned prospect hole) not { many yards from the lather's house. ' and difcovered something therein ' which txcited his curiosity. Clostr 1 investigation revealed a small skele- 1 toD-the poor child evidently having fallen in during one of the epileptic 1 fits, to which he was fulject, and had ' starved to death within sight of home. I harper ed to be present when the little mouldy jacket and muddy shoes were brought up, amid a crowd who wept for sympathy for the mourning mother ; but nobody had a thought fer the thirty vic tims-mostly fathers of families- ' who were sacrificed in the unavailing search. Au Old Colored Woman's Expc- ! rience in tbe Black Republic. Special Dispatch to thc Register. 1 ATLANTA, GA., April 12.-Maria , Rouse, an aged negress from Liberia, , was cared for at the city prison last V night. She left Alabama in 1878, | with a party of seventy-six negroep, for Liberia. -Most of them died with fever, while only two have been able to get back to Am3rica. Only ten of the party survived in Liberia. For six years the old woman has been . trying to save money to get back io { Alabama. Negroes over there, she , says, are not paid over three dollars a month for work. She says they can hardly work for the jigger flea, an insect which burrows down under the skin of the feet, lives and breeds there, and literally eats the feet up. She said many had their feet cut eff, as the fleas cannot be moved when rnce they burrow under the skint i making horrible sores. She bad saved i fifty-six dollars in B?X years, which i paid her passage to New York, leav- i ing a few dollars over. She left 'or i Alabama this morning. If the Democratic party believes '. that the hair of a dog is good for j his bite it might swallow Sammy . Randall as a presidential candidate. Otherwise that is a dangerous pro ceeding. The protest of the people at Cin- , cinnati against our criminal laws and criminal law practice is an intensified expression of. popular feeling that pervades the entire country. The New Baptist Church at Lees ville, LEESVILLE, S. C.. April 4.-On last fourth Sunday the first regular ser vice was held in our new but income plete church house. Although the morning was unfavoraV we had a good congregation. We shall never forget the brotherly kindness of Revs j. E. and Pierce Watson, the pastors* and members of the Methodist church during thj months we worshipedMn their house. About three fourths of our church remain unceiled owing to our inability to raise funds with which to complete it. A debt of about two hundred dollars has been created in bringing the work up to where it now rests. Without the further aid of brethren, sisters and friends, thor ough completion will be considerably delayed. Thia is not desirable. We want our houee complete and fur nished. Just a small amount from the hands of the Lord's willing work ers will do this. At the risk of incurring their dis. pleasure, I will state that Miss Carrie Spann, Miss Lucille Spann, MissLvdia Herlong, Miss Sue Johnson, Miss Mamie Bouknight and Miss Annie West gave ns a bell. Miss West is the only Baptist of the six. Again, a bi other to day handed me a superb* ly finished pulpit Bible and hymn book given by Miss Lillian Junee, of EdgefieldC.II.

Joab Edwards in Baptist Courier. Senator Butler Vindicated. From Southern Christian Advocate. Mr. Editor :? Your denunciation of 3anator Butler's ground of opposition to the Blair Educational Bill gave oc casion for equal surprise and regret Lo some of your readers. We can not see " betrayal of trust" in his refusal to surrender the educational [i. e., social) interest of the mass of the people of the United States into the hands of the party controlling the U. S. Government. There has been repeated evidence since the days of negro legislation, forced upon South Carolina by U. S. bayonets, as to what the result of such a surren der might Ijje.; and,.for one, I sympa hize with the sentiment that the su preme question in debate was not so auch one of constitutional right or policy, as of self-protection, Tue bitter sectional spirit illustr?t jd by Senator Sherman, who would not trust the South to administer the rund provided by this bill, the intro iuction of amendment after amend nent fixing the distribution of ihe fund with the U. S. Government, and :be fear lest these conditions should De overlooked by men of both parties n their anxiety to secure the money, ^resented the whole matter in a new ight. The humanity of North and South was invoked to break down ?pace enough in the walls of constitu tional defence fer the admission of ;his votive offering to Minerva. Who could say what use would be made 3l it? Our Senator merits grateful com mendation for rising high enough to look over the immediate golden ad fantage, to the cost of enjoying it. LAICGS. The new standard time ol the rail ways has come already into almost jnivereal use. Returns made to the secretary of the Time Convention show that of the one hundred princi pal cities of the country, exclusive of the cities on the Pacific coast, seven ty-eight have adopted railway stand ard time as their official local time. The Pacific lines, including the Un ion and Central Pacifies, ar? to adopt the Etandard time when their spring Echedules go iuto effect,- and it is ex pected that the entire Pacific coast will then come into the system. It has been a quiet revolution, but much more thorough than thc most san guine friends of the reform expected within so brief a time, and it is easy to see now that the towns still adher ing to the old order of things will inevitably be forced into the new system before long. Excepting in Ohio, where six eities, and in Penn sylvania, where three cities still main tain their old local time, there are not more than two cities east of the Rocky Mountains where local time different from the railway standard is now used.

NEW YORK, April 10.--Antonio j i Pisino, the young Italian who was taken to Bellevue Hospital Monday oight suffering from what was found to be trichinosis, is recovering. " The trichina?," said Dr. Biggr, who has charge of the patient, " a're becoming encysted and as soon as that process is over they will not be capa ble of doing any further harm." " How does a man get trichinosis?" the reporter aaked. " From eating raw pork. Of course the pork most contain trichina, but it is just as essential that the meat Boonld be raw, for if the meat were propery cooked the trichina would be killed." ? " But how does the trichina) get into the pork in the first place?" " From the hogs eating the raw flesh of other animals, particularly the entrails. The process is like this The hog devours the flesh of an ani mal containing the eggs or cysts of trichina;. When thess embryos get into the stomach the proceas of diges tion tlirsolves the cysts and the living trichina; are set free." Dr. Biggs showed the reporter a trichina? that had been removed from Pisino's arm, through the microscope. The worm looked to be a little more than an inch long and was curled up ?ike the letter "s." "The actual leDgthof the trichiez,' ?aid Dr. Biggs, "is about one twenty eighth an inch, and its diameter one jix-hundred'b of an inch. We re moved from P?6?no's arm a piece of muscle about as large as a small pea. [ calculate that it contained from 100 to 500 trichina? Professor Vir chow estimated that in half a pound of ham infected with trichinaVtbere were no less than 30,000,000 of the parasites." " How could trichinosis be pre sented ?" . " By abstaining from eating raw or )nly half cooked pork. Another and perhaps better way is to have all pork examined before it ia sold, aa is now ione in Germany. Professor Virchow said that he found trichina? in one jut of seventy-five American hogs examined by him, while among the jogs raised? in Germany he only i? :ound*one diseased carcass in^OtXT"" 5 Dea'h or Au Original EdgeficW Lady/ '/ Mrs. F.
