AnDiytr??>y Strmon. Brooklyn.. May 6.?This was a great day in the history of the Brooklyn Tabernac'e. The figures i?> flowers back of the platform, 1869 and 1894 ind'cated Rev. Dr. Talmuge's time of coming to Brooklyn and the present celebration, and were introductory to the great meetings in honor of Dr. Talmage's pastorate to take place on the following Thursday and Friday, presided over by tk.e . - mayor of the city and Ex-Secretary of the Navy General Tracy, and to be participated in by senators and governors and prominent men from north, south, east aud west. The subject of the sermon today was "The Generations," the text being Ecclesiastes i, 4, ' One generation passeth away, aud another generation cometh." According to the longevity of people in thftir r>?rt?p.n!?r century has a genera tion been caiied 100 years, or 50 years, or 30 years. By common correct in our nine-teenth century a generation is fixed at 25 years. The largest procession that ever moved is the procession of years, and the greatest army that ever marched is the army of generations. In each generation there are about nine lull regiments * t clays. These 9,125 days m each generation march with wonderful precision. They Dever break ranks. The never eround arms. They never pitch tents. They never bait. They are never off on furlough. They came out cf the eternity past, and thev move on toward the eternity future. They cross rivers without any bridge or boats. Tne GOO immortal* of the Crimea dashiDg into ihcm came no confusion. They move as rapidiy at midnight as a? mUirccn. Their haversacks are full oi good bread and bitter alots clusters o1 richest vintage and bottles cf agon z n* tears. With a regular tread that no or der of "dcuble quick" can hasten, or obstacle can slacken, their tramp is on and on and cn and on while mountains crumble and pyramids die. "Use nea eration passetb, aod another generation cometh." Thi* is my twmtv tirth anniversary sermon, 1869 and 1894. It is 25 years since I assumed the Brooklyn pastorate. A whole generation has passed. Tnree generations we have known?:hat which preceded our own, that which i3 now at the front and the one coming on. We are at the heels of our predecessors, and cur successors ere at our heels. Wha a generation it was that preceded us! We who are dow in the trout regiment are the only cms competent to tell the new generation just now coming in sighi wno >.ur predecessors were. Biography carinot tell it. Autobiographies c <nnot teil it. Biographies are generally written by special friends if the departed, perhaps by wife or sun or daughter, ana thev only teil the geed things The biographers of one ct ihe first presidents ef the Uoited States make no record of the president's account oooks, now in the ai chives at the capitol, which I have seen telling how much be lost or gained daily at the gaming. The biographers of one of the early secretaries of the United States never described the scene that day witnessed wheu the secretary was carried dead drunk from the 3tate apartments to his own home. Autobiography is written by the man himself, and no one would record for future time3 his own weaknesses and moral deficits. Those who keep diaries put down only thing that read well. No man or woman that ever lived would dare to make full record of all the thoughts and words of a lifetime. We who saw and heaid much of the generation inarching just ahead of U3 are far more able than any book to describe aecuratelv to our suc u? uessuis nuuuui ^IFUCVCOOVIC ntit, v tij much like ourselve3, thank you. Human nature in them very much like human nature in us. At our time of life lh6V were very much like we now are. At the time they were in their isens they were very much like ycu who are in your teens, aud at the time they were in their twenties they were very much like you who are in your twenties. Human nature got an awful twist under a Iruit tree in Eden, and laough the grace of Geo dee 3 much to straightea things every new generation has the same twist and the same work of straightening out has to be done over again. A mother in the country districts expecting the neighbors at her table oil some gala night had with her own hands arranged everything ia taste, and as she was about to turn from it to receive her guests saw her little child bv accident upset a pitcher all over toe white cloth and soil everything, and the mother lifted her hand to slap the child. J hot she suddenly remembered the time when, a little child herself, in her father's house, "where they had always before been used to candles, on the purchase or a lamp, which w?s a matter of rarity ' and pride, she took it in her hands and dropped it, crashing into pieces, and looking up in her lather's face, expect iDg chastisement, heard only the words: ^ It is a sad loss, but n:ver mind. Ycu did not mean to do it."

' ?ne generation passeth away and another generation cometh.'} There are fathers and mothers here whom I baptized ia their lafincy. There is not one person in this ctu-ch's t.oard of session or trus'ees who were here wh-n 1 came. Here and there in this va3t assemblv is one person who heard my opening sermon In Brooklyn, mi not more than one person in every 500 now present. Of the 17 persons who gave me a uaanimous call when I came only three. I believe are living. Bat this sermon is net a dirge. It is an anthem- While this world is appropriate as a temporary stay, or au eternal residence it would be a dead failure It would be a dreadful seutence 'four rtce were doomed to.remaiu here 1 000 winters and 1 000 summers. G >d keep* us here just long enough to give u? an appetite tor heaven. Had we been b?rn m celestial realms we *ouid not havr been able lo appreciate the bliss. It needs a g-vd many roagb blasts in Ibis world to quality us to properly estimate be superb climate of tbat good land where it, is uever loo cold or too bin too cloudy or tuo glaring. Heaven will be more to us tbcin to those supernal be tDgs who were never tempted or S'.ck or bereaved or tried or disappointed. So ycu may well take toy text out oi the minor key and 6et it to a tune in the major key. ' One generation passeth away and another generation comeih." Nothing can rob us of the satisfaction that uncounted thousands of the generation just passed were converted comfort ed and harvested for heaven bv this church, whether ia the preseat buiidmg or the three preceeding buildings in which tbev worshipped. The two great organs of the previous churches went down m the memorable fires, but the multitudinous songs they led year after year were not recalled or injured. There is no power ia earth or hell to kill a halleluiah. It is impossible to arrest a bosanoa. What a satisfaction to know that there are many thousands in glory on whose eternal welfare this church wrougnt mignuiyi mowing can uuuo that work. They have ascended, the multitudes woo served God in that generation. That chapter is gloriously eu.?ed. Bat that generation has left its impression on this generation. A sailor was dying on shipboard, and he said to his males: "My lads, 1 can only think ct one passage of Scripture, "The soul that sinneth, it ahall die,' and that keeps ringing in my ears. 'The soul that sinneth, it shall die.' Can't you think of something eise injthe Bible to cheer me up?" Weil, sailors are kind and they tried to think of some other passage of Scripture with which to console their dying comrade, but they could not. One of them said: "Let us call the cabin boy. Ills mother was a Christian, and I guess he has a Bible." The cabin boy was called up, and the dying sailor asked him if he had a Bible. He said, "Yes." But he cculd not ex actly And It, and the dying sailor scolded him and said, "Ain't you ashamed of yourself not to read your Bible." S) the boy explored the bottom of bis trunk and brought out the Bible, and his mother had marked a passage that just fitted the dying sailor's case, "The blood of Jesus Christ, his Sou, cleanseth from all sin." That helped the sailor to die m peace. So one generation nelp: another, and good things written or said or done are reproduced long afterward. During the passing of the last generation some peculiar events have unfolded One day while resting at Sharon Springs N. Y.?I think it was ia 1370, the year after my settlement ia Brooklyn?aud while walking in the park ot that place I found mvseli asking the question- kT wonder it there h any special mission for me to execute 1u this world? It there is, may Gcd show it to me." There soon came to me a grea . desire to preach the gospel through the secular printing press. I resi zed that the vast majority of people, even in Christian lands, never emera church, and that it would be an opportunity of usefulness Influit8 if that door cf publication were opened. And so I recorded that prayer m a blank book and < ffered the prayer day in and day out until the answer came, though iu a way different from that which I hsd expected, for it came through the misrepresentation and persecution of enemies, and I have to recurd it for the encouragement of all ministers cf the yes pel who are misrepresented that it the misrepresentation be virulent enough and bitter enough, and cgduduoub enough, there is uolhiug that so widens one's field oi ueelulness as hostile attack. it vou are really doing the Lord's work. The bigger the lie told about uie the bigger the demaudto see and hear what I reallv whs doing. From ode st.a?e of sermonie publication to an >ther ;htj w.jrk lias gone on until week by week and for about 2'i years I have had the world tor rnv audience as no man ever had. and today more so than at any other time. The syndicates inform me that mv sermons go now to about. 25 009 000 people In all lauds. I mention this not in vain boast, but as a testimony to the fact that God answers prayer. Would God I had better occupied the field and been more consecrated to the work! May God tor I give me i'or lack of service in the past; and double and quadruple and quintu- I pie my work in the figure. in this my quarter century sermon I record the tact that side oy side with j the procession of biessmgs has gone a j procession ot disasters I am preaching | today in the fourth church building) since I began in this city. My first sermon was m the old church on Scbermerhoro street to an audience chiefly of empty seals, for the church was almost extinguished. Toat church died and overflowing, we built a iarg^-r UUUICJJ, ?VIIIU;I uiuri i, v/ ui i o . disappeared in ildine. Then we built another church, which also i:; aline of ] G.-rv succession dismoeared m rhn same way. Then we put up this building, and may if stand foi many \e^rs a fortress of righteousness and a fight bouse for the storm tossed, its gaies crowded with vast assemblages lung after we h-tve ceased to frequent them \V" have raised in this church over Sl.030.0t0 for church charitable purposes duitug the present pastorale, while we have given, free of ail expenses, the gospel to hundreds of thousands of strangers year by year. I record with gratitude to God that during this generation of 25 years I remember but two Sabbaths that I have nussed service through anjthing like physical indisposition Almost a fanatic on the subject of physical exercise I have made the parks with which our city is blessed the means of good physical condition. A daily walk ani run in the open air have kept me ready for work and in good humor with ail the i world. I say to all young ministers of the gospel it is easier to keep good health than to regain if when once lost. The reason so many gocd men think the world Is goiDg 'to ruin 13 because their own pnysical condition is on the downgrade. No man ought to preach who has a diseased liver or an enlarged spleen. There are two things ahead of us that ought to keep us cheerful in our work?heaven ana the millennium. xlnd now, having come up to the twenty fifth milestone in my pastorate, I wonder bow many more miles I am to travel'? Your company has been exceedingly pleasant,0 my dear people, and I would like to march by your side until the generation with whom we are now moving abreast and step to step shall have stacked arms after the last battle. Gut the Lord knows best, and we ought to be willing to stay or go. Most of you are aware that I propose at this time, between the close of my twenty-fifth year of pastorate and before the beginning of my twenty sixth year, to be absent for a few moDths in order to take a journey around the world. I expect to sail from San Francisco in the steamer Alameda May 21 My place here on Sabbaths will be fully occupied, while 011 Mondays and every Monday,! will continue to speak through the priQtiDg press in this and other lands as heretofore. Why do I go? To make pastoral visitation " ^ ITT H r>m 1 h 'J VTO T1 OVTOr OUUI1 ailIUL>t( **UUUi jl h? IV iJV t c? but to whom I have never been permitted a long while to administer.

I want to see the Sandwich Islands, not so much in the light ot mcderu politics as in the light oi the gospel of Jesus Christ.which has Transformed theiD.aad Samoa and those vas; reruns of New Z-aiacd and Australia and Ceylon and India. I want to s*-e what Christianity has accomplished. I want to see how the missionaries have been lied about as living in luxury and idleness. I want to know whether the heath en religions are really as tolerable and as c>mmendable as they were represented by their adherents in the pariia ment of religions at Chicago. I want to see whe'her Mohammedanism and Buddhism would be a good thing for transplanting in America, as it has again and again been argued. I want to hear the Brahmans pray. I want to test whether the Pacific ocean treats its guests any better than does the Atlan tic. I want to see the wondrous architecture of India, and the Delhi and Cawapore where Christ was cruciaed in the iliassacre of his modenrdiscip'-ts, and the disabled Juggernaut unwaeeled by Christianity, and to see if the Taj which the Emperor Shah Jehan built in honor of his empress really means any more than the plam slab we pur above our dear departed. I want to see the fields where Ilaveiock and Sir Colin Campbell won the day against the sepoys. I want to see the world from all sides, how much of it is in darkness, how much of it is in light, what the Bible means by the ''ends of the earth," and get myself ready to appreciate the extent of the present to be made to Christ as spoken of in the Psalms, "Ask for me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession," and so I shall be ready to celebrate in heaven the victories of Christ in more rapturous song than I could have rendered had I never seen the heathen abominations before they were conquered. Aud so I hope to come brck refreshed, re-enforced and better equipped and to do in 10 years more effectual work than I have' done in the last 25. And now in this twenty fifth aani versary sermon I propose to do two things?first, to put a garland on the grave of the generation that has just passed off and then to put a paltn branch in the hand of the" generation just now coming on the lield of action, for my text is true, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh." Oh, how many we revered and honored and loved in the last generation that quit the earth! Tears fell at the time of their going, and dirges were sounded, and signals of mourning were put on, but neither tears nor dirge nor somber veil told the half we felt. Their going left a vacancy in our souls that has never filled up. We never get used to their absence. There are times when the sight of something with which they were associated?a picture, or a book, or a garment, or a staff?breaks us down with emotion, but we bear it simply because we have to bear it. Oh, how snowy white their hair got, and how the wrinkles multiplied, and the sight grew more dim, and the hearing less alert, arid the sren more fr*i' and on" dav thev were i gone out of the chair by tne lireside, and from the plate at the mea', and lroui the end or the church pew,\vbero they worshipped with us! O ray soul, bow we missed them! Bat let us console each other with the thought that we shall meet them again in the land of saiutatiou and reunion. And now I twist a garlaud tor that departed generation. It need not be costly, perhaps just a handful of clover blossoms from the iMd through which . they used to walk, or -s many violets as you could hold between the thumb and the forelinger, plucked out ot toe garden where they us>d to walk in the the cool of the day. i'ui these old fashioned fljwers right down over the heart that never again will ache, atd the fret tnuL will never again be wearv, and the arm that has forever ceased to toil. Peace, father! Peace, mother! Everlast- j jng peace! All that for the generation ; gone. But what shall -ve do with the p.t'.rn branch? That we wiilput in the naud of the generation coming on. Yours is to be tiie genoratiou for victories. Tne last and the present generations have been perfecting the steam power, and the electric light, ami the ei^ctic forces To these wiil be added transportation. It will be your mission to use all these forces. Everything is ready now for you to inarch right up and take this world for God and heaven. Get your heart right by repentance and the! par-.O'iiag gr-ce of the Lord Jesus i and your min-i right by elevating book j and pictures, and your body right by ! gyrauasium and tMd exercise and | pienty of ez. me, and by looking as ofreu | as you can upon the face, of the mountain and of *ea.

Before another 25 years have gone, we wiil be out of the pulpits, and the ofGces, and the stores, and the factories, and Che benevolent institutions, and you will be at the front. Forward iuto the battle I If God be for von who c-.n be against you? "lie that spared not his own >on, bur delivered hi to up for us ail, how shaii be not wltn him also freely give us all things?

And will not that be glorious? Three generations in heaven together?the grandfather, the son and. the grandson, tile grand in other, the daughter and the granddaughter. And so with wider range and keener faculty we shall realize the full significance of the text, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh." AFFAIRS IN AUGUSTAMyst ui >111 Death and Saipicted PoisonIne?shocking Death. Augusta, May 6.?Prof. W. B.

On the second page of this week's Times and Democrat will be found an article taken from the New York Sun, which contains as much down right lieing as any article we ever remember reading. Trie article in question purports to be the observations of a "gentleman vytio hasilved in South Carolina fifteen years" on what he calls the "cracker" element of this State. It virtually classes the entire farming population of South Carolina as "crackers." They are said to be descendants of pirates driven from the seas and onvicts imported as slaves from the old country and are described as being drunkardsj asssssins and ioafers by inheritance. instinct and custom. The Greenville News rays it doubts "if the man who gave the interview was ever in South Carolina loDger than a week at a time. Ills whole story bears evidence of dense ignorance regarding the people of this State and of a purpose to injure tne State as a whole." It reads like the production of one of the fellows who write Southern dialect 3tories for Northern magazines and most of whom have never been this side the J'otoraac river and never seen a live Southerner. Anybody who has even the slightest acquaintance with the people of the State generally knows that the South Carolina countrymen are the cleanest blooded population in the I 'nion.

Asscciation, engrossed resolutions of the , ladie3 of the Fredericksburg Association ; expressing iheir thanks lor tne enoits 01 the former towards erection of the monument. ] President Cleveland then came to the froDt of the stand and held a public re - J ception, in which more than 10 000 persons participated. Following this, the \ President was associated to the Mary Washington House, where he rested for ( a time. ' la the evening a bouquet was given in honor of the occasion, over which * Hon. J. B. Sever presided. It was 1 thought that the president would return ' to Washington immediately after the un- J veiling ceremonies, but he was an unei . prcted and most welcome guest at the j feast. A storm cf acclamation greeted his unannounced appearance: When the noisy welcome had subsided sufficiently for President Sever to formally presem ( him, Mr. Cieveluud advanced to the front of the plaiform and acknowledged the tumultuous reception in a brief and happy Impromptu speech, which was j most enthusastleally cheered, mid which Mr. Cleveland took his seat. ] Governor O'Ferrall was then introduced , and made a brier and happy response. Vice Pres'.dsnr Stevenson was introduced ( as a Mister Mason to respond to the 1 second toast, which was "To George . Woo .intrinn a Maatpr Wnrl'man." Justice Harlau of the United State3 ( Supreme Court then arose and anuonc. ed himself as doubly a grandson (f Vir ginia, offered the roa3t: "To the com- ; monwealth of Virginia." This,was felicitously responded to by Mr Blair Lee. ' The evening passed away most de- 1 lightfully, in the eojoyment of the sub ' stantial and iatelleciual repast spread ' oy the generous h03ts of the occasion. The President and hi3 party returned ' to Washington on a special train at 5 ' o'clock. The weather wis most beauti- ( ful and the celebratiou one ol grateful 1 memory to all who witnessed it. In the ' Presidential party wsre Secretary aud ] Mrs. Gresbam, Secretary and Mrs. Car- ' lisle, Secretary and Miss Morton, Ssc- ! retary and Mrs. Lamont, Postmaster ' General Bisseli, Private Secretary and Mrs. Thurber and many men distingu- ' ished in puolic life. Fitteen thousand ' Virginian? assembled from all part3 ol 1 the Slate to do honor to the noble wo- 1 man, whose memory they hold dear. In 1 the throng were representatives ol names J contemporaneous with Washington and ! lamiliar in the history ol the State many prominent in the present administration ! of its affairs. The surrounding country was deserted for the time. I THE SENATORIAL FIGHT 1 I Batw*en Batler and Tillman L'kelyt>be , Warm. Washington, May 11.?About the j middle of next month one of the hottest , campaigns ever waged in South Carolina ' will b3 opened between Senator Butler ( and Governor Tillman for Senatorial honors.

It ] will probably be a bitter personal strug- i gle between them, lor Senator Butler is < anxious to retain his seat in the Senate, < and Governor Tillman has been bendiog < ail of his political and personal energies J to be elected a? Sinator Butler's succes- ' 3or. Both of them are sood stuilp 3peak* * ers and they are to speak together from } the same platform all oper the Stale, j Senator Butler 13 an aggre33ive cam- j paigner, and he and the Governor have s been shying political bricks at eacj other j at long range tor several months past, i When they come together on the same i slump theie will probably be some t stirring appeals to their respective foi- ] lowers, and those who are familiar with \ the characteristics of the two predict an J * ' * -1 t exciting coaiesi iroox atari tu uuiau. Both men are past masters io the art of 1 working upon the passions of their re- j spective followers, and the combat will .. take on a national as well a3 a local fh- i vor in view ol Senator Butler's promin- r ence in the Senate and also because ol c the notoriety Governor Tillman h is ac- c quired by reason ol his famous dispen- i sary liquor law. South Caroliniaus here are anxiously awaiting -for the battle royal to commence, and at the present writing both \ sides appear to be about equally couli- ; denl ol victory. v/ell-knowu South i Carolina Congressman, who is supposed 1 to have a slight leaning towards Sena- tor Butler, for personal reasons, but who has heretofore alli'iatcd with the 1 Tillman movement in the State, was asked to*dav for his opinion as to the * probable outcome. lie replied that be { looked for a desperate struggle between c. Senator Butler and Governor Tillman on v ihe stumD. and that at the present time a it was difficult to pick a winner.

Washington. May 0.?The Pree eaders of ib? commonweal, Gen. Jacob kbler Coxe/, Marshal Carl Browne 10d Christopher Columbus Tones, were bund guilty yesterday or violating .be laws by a jury of their peers, and vill have to submit to a sentence hereat* ;er to be imposed bv the court for their ecent demonstration on the Capitol. A.U three of the accused were convicted )n the first count of the indictment, ivhich charged them with displaying in .he Capitol grounds the banner of the Joxey Good roads Association. .Tones )f Philadelphia-was asquittedof the aec )cd count which accused him ct treadng on the grass, but Ccxey and Browne r?ere convicted. The jury retired at live minutes be"ore 1 o'cicck, after hearing a long charge lrom Jadge Miller, which left ,uem iittif: alternative dul to convict 11 ,bev followed his leadings. About half oast 3 o'cIock the jurors sent for the instructions given for the defense, but the >avernment objected and they llled luto .he court room whiie the judge read the nstructioua. Young Attorney flyman iudeavored, excitedly, to havjthe fact .hat the objection came from the prosecution laid before the jury, tut be wa3 m^presed. Judge Miller slated that ne would not have handed over the written rj8truction3 under any circumstances, as ihat would have been irregular. Only Ive minutes after this episode the jury returneded with the indictment. "General Coxey had been visiting with his wife and his daughter, the 'Goddess of peace" of the May day procession, but took his seal within the oar and all of the party received the re jult smillingly, except Mr. Iivman, who was on his leet with so.no objection to ;he form on which tie verdict was presented, but he was sat upon by his coleagues. Attorney Lipscomb, immedi itely entered a motion for new trial and another in arrest of judgment. Judge Miller gave him four cays to file the formal paper, then the judge made inquiries about bail and Frank Hume, a well mown wholesale grocer, who several hmes has been a candidate for the Democratic nomination to Congress from the Virginia district across the Potomac river, signed a bond m $500 for each of .he three convicted commonwealers. Gen. Ccxey left the courtroom od the arm of his wife, pushing through a curious crowd which made no demonstration. The conviction of himself and Jones wa3 a surprise to the common weal sympathizers. C'oxey said that it wa3 evident that his prosecution was not Dn account ot what he bad done, but because ot the principles in behalf of which he had acted. Carl Drowns re marked: ;iI was surprised at the coa? suction of Brother Coxey, because he was plainly acquitted by the evidence of my technical violation of the statutes. For my own part, I expected to be convicted." Just alter the closing plea for the de iensc, Browne's la *ver had asked permission to read to the jupy a statemen' written by his client, but Jud^e Miller Jechned to admit it saying thai Browne had been given all his rights lu being de tended by able attorneys. The paper was written In Browne's usual grandiloquent style and averred that he a ltered :rom his lawyers regarding the line of defense, that he would have admitted the technical violations of the law and have asked the jury to acquit him on the ground that he was merely exercising ais constitutional rigbt3. Two weeks may elapse, during which the trio wiil be free on bail, betore the motion for a new trial is argued and de::ded. The penally provided by law is the same for each clieose, viz: A fine aoc to exceed $100 or imprisonment in jail for not more than thirty days, Oi bcth within the discretion of the court. Accordingly, the maximum punishment which may be meted out to Coxey and Browne is $200 and 120 days, while Christopher Columbus Jonea is suhjsct lo $100 and sixty days. By a curious Congrsslonai error in a recent bill which reorganized the District courts, there is no appellate court Lo which a police case caQ be carried. The only method ot appealing from Judge Miller's sentence will be by an application to a higher court for wrii.3 of habeas corpus and certiorari. Attorney Lipscomb has announced that he will take rhis step if Judge Miller overrules the motion for a new trial. However, such i petition will not operate as a stay ot judgment to keep the defendants irom serving their senteuces while it is renting. Did >'ot Erp?cC If. The Charleston Snn records rather in amusing incident in connection with the recent letter of Congressman McLaurin. According to the Suq's story "Professor Marchant queried the Congressman as to whether he, Marchant was the obisct of the former's iescription in his letter o? 'one of their ittle creatures, a peripatetic school :eacher, who wants to be superincend:nt of education.' McLaunn frankly replied that Marchant was the person le meant. Whereupon Marchahc says lis f"iends advised him to 'hit' back, lut he was 'afraid' of a man who would >ay to his face what he had intended 'orhim in print. That such a man iiustbe 'mad'? meaniag crazy. This ndicates thecurious state of mind that he customary equivocation and dodgng of public men has given rise to. darchant knew, as others knew, that dcLaurin .referred to him. But he ,bought on puttiDg the question diectly to him that McLaurm would, as jsualinsuch cases, find a way out of t by evasion. To the Professor's blank mcuzement McLaurin 3imply rep'ied ,hat he did mean him. Such : irectless left the Professor without a word >f reply.

C., May 7.?War has been cellared among ih6 Catawba barves, with a probability thai the whole tribe will become involved. Each 3 ear the State of South Carolina appropriates $800 to the remnant of the Caiawba Indians in this county. This money is distributed among the members of the tribe by Capt. A. E. Smith, the agent. The tribe now numbers sixty-eight Indians and half-breeds, and the custom has beeu to distribute the fund among the pure bloods and such ot the half-breeds as have Indian mothers never among the half-breeds whose fathers only are Incians. Under the rules of the tribe as they have existed for generations, so we are informed, children only inherit from their mothers, never from their fathers. This fact is the cause of the present trouble. Jeff Davi3 Ayers is a member of the trite. About seven years ago he wss lawfully married to a white woman, who has borne three children by her husband. Of these chilcren oue is s'x years old, another four years aud the youngest one year. Thursday all the Indians came to town to draw the money appropriated by the State, but before the distribution could be effected Ayers learned that the agent would observe the*Vules of the tribe aud not apportion the money among the children of any whi'-e woman who wa3 the wife of an Indian, inasmuch as no part of the iund was appropraited f^r a white woman, and under the tribal regulation children could only inherit from their mother. If she had no claims upon the fund, the children would have none. This regulati:n deprived Ayers's children of any part in the distribution. Finding this wa9 the condition r.f . fiaira 'Phiirailac mnrnin? A VC.r? made demand upon the Indian Agent through his attorney, VV. 13. Wilson, E-:q , tor his children's par' of the fund, but the agent has not yet made the distribution, as the Indians threaten to hold bis bondsmen responsible if he pays any money to the Ayers children. Thus matters stood Thursday morning when Ayers approached a cumber ot his comrades who where standing on Main street. They denounced him for delaying the paymeotofthe money. One burly teilov, John Brown became furi 0U3ly mad and assaulted Ayers, when the women interfered and a general fight was imminent. The chief of police happened to be on hand and nabbed Brown, but he resisted and jerking the chief's walking stick out cf bis had, threw it into the sireet. About this time Policeman Carroll reiuforced the chief and the two hurried Brown off io the guard house. He was subsequently lakeu before the mayor and tined $15 or thirty days. He failed to pay up and is now in the jug.? Columbia Register. Found at Last. Editor Joseph Medill of the Chicago Tribune has a handsome buff and white viila at Los Angeles. lie lives there part of the time, managing his paper by telegraph and indulgmg his fads, of which he nas a number, and he is right. No m-m is wholly happy without fads, j 0:jo of Editor Medill's fads is the founI rain nf vimth. which he described to a newspaper correspondent lately. Tne .fountain itself is in the San Bernardino mountains and is nothing else than a great reservoir of melted snow. The show water i3 the purest in the world, Mr. Medill thinks, aud he driDks it in great quantity, so that it will wash away tne lime in his system. It is lime in tDP3ystem that makes people get old and die, in the judgment of The Tribune's veteran editor. Mr. Medill nimselfisnow73 years old and has had time to get considerable lime into him. This choked him up, blood and bones, till it gave him rheumatic gout. lie went to various springs in Europe and America to get cured, but all were no good. Then he studied into the science of rheumatism ana gout and concluded drinking: distilled water would wash out the lime that had gathered about his joints. That helped some, but it was reserved for the snow water of San Bernardino to complete - the cure, it is not eating so much as drinking that fills the body up with lime, he contends. If, therefore, mankind will fiush themselves, so to speak, with chemically pure water, not whiskey, even of the dispensary brand, they will clear themselves out and stave off old age. Mr. Medill claims that he is renewing his youth on snow water. Say Good YPordn. The teacher who educates your children toils on year after year doing her duty and often more than her duty.

The olllce boy and the little errand girl?mere children, ignorant, blundering and timid?come into your employ when they ought to b9 playing outdoors. They do their poor best and grow pale and nervous, like overworked grown people, while yet they are children. You score them for their mistakes and shortcomings; you threaten them with discharge; you talk to them cruelly. Do you ever praise them when they do well? Do you ever say one kind, appreciative word to those whose task it is to please you? Such a word would sweeten life to them for days. It would be like manna in the wilderness. It might inspire their whole future lives. Do you ever say it? It is a cruel, heedless world. A CrowolDg Crime.
