Tho kidnapping of a young white girl and the killing of ono of a posse that tried to rescue hor aro tho orimes charged against a party of eight negroes to-night fortified on Bruce's Island, sixteen miles west of tho city. It is feared their capturo will load to a hloody encounter. The negroes aro said to bo well armed. A few days ago two farmers living near Wilson's Kook landed on Bruce's island in search of plums Sod accidentally ran into a camp in which there were two negro mon and a white girl about 12 years old. They mado some inquires about the girl and tho negroes said she was tho daughter of a white man who was traveling with them and who had gone to Fort Smith for pro visions. Tho negroes would not lot tho girl tako part in tho conversation and thisarou8ed suspicion. A watch was kept on tho negroes for two days, but no whito man appeared. Mon day afternoon a party of funnels de cided to investigate tho case, and as they neared the island were fired on by the negroes, and ono of tho party, Roland by name, was killed. A sharp fight was kept up for some time during which tho girl esoaped from tho negroes and ran to the white men. Sho was so excited that she could not givo any intelligent ac count of herself. She said, however, that her father was not traveling with thc negroes, but that sho had boon stolon from her home near Fort Gibson, I. T. Sho hus been taken to Muldrew. Roland, the dead man, was a com parative stranger at Wilson's Kock. Tho Problem of tho Races. Unique among all summer gather ings is the "mob conference," now in progress al Chautaubua, N. Y. Tho increase of the mob spirit so notice able throughout the country, gives great importance to this conference. The binding speech of last Tuesday was made by John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Qa. Mr. Graves spoke on "The Mob Spirit of the South." Ile defended lynch law as a remedy for the crime ve rape, holding that though lynching is a crime, it is justified by the crime which provokes it and will never be discontinued until that crime is eliminated. The remedy for lynch ing must be the elimination of the crime of rape, and this, he maintains, could be done only by the separation of the two races in the United States. "The problem of the hour is not how to prevent lynching in thc South, but the larger question : 'How shall we destroy the crime which always has and always will provoke lynch ing ?' The answer which the mob re turns to this vital question is already known. The mob answers it with the rope, the bullet, and sometimes, God save us, with tho toron. And the mob is practical ; its theory is effective to a large degree ; the mob is to-day the sternest, the strongest, and the most effective restraint that the age holds for the control of rape." "The lyncher does not extermimato tho rapist,". Mr. Graves contended, "but he holds him mightily in check." As a sheer, cold, patent fact, he said, the mob stands to day as the most potential bulwark between tho women of the South and such a carnival of crime as would infuriate the world and precipitate the annihi lation of the negro race. Tho masses of the negro, he held, aro not afraid of death coming in a regular way. They lovo display and tho spectacular element of a trial and execution appeals to their imagina tions. Expediting processes of tho law would not be adequate to eliminate lynching. The repeal of the amend ments and the establishment of thc negro's inferiority in law and society, said Mr. Graves, though desirable, aro not sufficient, for "tho negro," he added, "is a thing of tho senses and with this race and with all similar races tho desire of the senses must be restrained by tho terror of the senses, if possible, tinder the law." No influence of suppression so mighty and effective could be brought to bear ns a law making amputation tho pen alty for tho crime of rape. But this, like curfew edicts, separate laws for white and black or tho treatment of the crime of rape as separate and out side of all other codes, aro but oxpc diente, ho maintained ; there is no real remedy but ono. No statute will permanently solve this problem. Religion does not solve it. Educa tion complicates it. Politics compli cates it. "The truth which lies beyond above all those temporizing expe dients," he concluded, "is that sep aparation is tho logical, tho inevit able, tho only solution of this great problem of the races." "Hollo, old man I" exclaimed H? rem ns he meandered into Busby's office, "I just dropped in to kill timo." ?rry," answered Busby, "but I iy timo that I want killed." M?l?l?rl and UllUrs. Ono of the greatest evils of our day, getting the uooonsoious support of roany of our people, is the sin of gossiping about persons. Indulgence in gossip is like indulgence in drink -thero is. DO happy medium which is,safe to adopt. The line never oau be drawn where gossiping can bo safely done. Good women every where should frown down all begin nings of personal discussion of a harmful nature. If ono must criti cise persons or discuss them in any way, oxoept in kiudness, let it be done in their presence, whero they may have an opportunity for defense, or at least explanation. * We have no right to suppose or imply motives. We are forbidden to judge. Gossip has made wounds for which there seemed no balm. It has injured reputatious with au en tirely unmerited stain. Many a lifo has gone soarred to the grave by the breath of meddlers and tattlers. A truo woman is not givon to wound ing another. Womanhood should seek to shield. With life so full of stirring eve ats what time havo you to listen to a sot of idle talkers, ac tuated more often than not by a spirit of malice and envy? It is not always the blameless ono who is most eager lo condemn. Tho sinless baud rarely if over casts tho first stone. If ono-half the industry were used to cultivate a kindly habit of speech, to unveil the hotter side of humanity, that is devoted to the col lection and dissemination of hurtful and ovil rumors, thoro would bo less of tho leven of unrighteousness scat tered through the world's three measures of meal. lt is well to avoid a person who comes to you habitually full of con fidence and communications which would not bear telling in tho pros ?neo of the persou under discussion. It is a homely old saying and a truo one, that the dog that will fetch a bono will carry ono away. Oh ! how dangerous to deviate from tho truth, for tho only end ur. lng success is that which wo gain through the striotost observance of the truth. Truth is beautiful, for all beauty is truth. Without this virtue our friends will not roly upon us. The love of truth is tho fountain head of integrity, for thoro can bo no virtue which does not derivo its origin from truth ; as on the contrary thero is no vice which has not its be ginning in a lie. Many a home has been saddened by meddlers. Ah ! yes, many a young heart crushed ! Truth crushed to earth shall rise again ; tho eternal years of God are hers ; but error wounded writhes with pain, and dies amid her wor shipers. Pearl King. High Falls, S. C., August 22. His Parting Testimony. Much has been said, and is still being said, about Pope Leo's last hours and his last, prayer. Person ally we are ready to indorse much that has been said. We have no wish to detract from his praise. Ho was the superior of most of his predecessors in office, both in ability and character. Hut his last days and his last prayer are worthy of notice as his testimony to the faith of his church. The charge has often been made, and often denied, that tho church of Homo doesn't regard Jesus as tho only Saviour of shines-that this office has been assigned to tho mother of Jesus. Is that the doc trine and faith of the church? The last prayer of a Pope-an infallible l'ope-ought to be accepted as au thority, and in that prayer we find no mention of Jesus. There is a longing "that I may sec thy face, heaven's queen, whose mother love has brought me home above," but no reference to Him who said "I will como again and receive you unto Myself." With those who praise the poetic beauty and pious spirit of the prayer wo tako no issue. We simply call attention to the fact that if it is to be taken as expressing tho faith of the church of which he was thc supreme head, the name of Jesus is not to that church "the name that is above every name." Another who says that he had searched for it as for a hidden treasure declares that he has not see a single reference to Jesus from Pope Leo's lips.-A. Ii. Presbyterian.

If these are denied you, if you rise in the morning more tired than when you went lobed, there is an affection of the nerves plainly present. If your heart is weak, or there ls an inherited tendency in that direction, your weakened nerves will soon so affect your heart's action as to bring on serious, chronic trouble. Dr. Miles' Ner vine is a nerve tonic, which quiets the nerves, so that sleep may come, and it quickly re stores the weakened nerves to health and strength. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is a great blood and heart tonic which regulates the ac tion of the heart, enriches the blood and im proves the circulation. "Some time ago I was suffering severely with heart trouble. At times my heart would seemingly stop heating ?nd at others it would beat loudly and very fast.

Not Necsstaril/ Mortal. la wound? of the heart itself the Bsoape of blood is never in large quan tity, and the lethal eonesquenoes are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within ita oavity (or oavities) into tho surrounding sao of tho pericardium mechanically inter? ru pt? the alternate contraction and expansion by which its pumping action is maintained. Accordingly, tho results of wound of the heart are usually identical with those of gradual ! suffocation. This faot was strik ingly demonstrated in.theoasoof the Empress of Austria, and the diabolic skill and precision with which the wound was infiioted in her oase, offer a diagrammatic illustration of a necessarily fatal wound of the heart. The instrument used was too large to form a mere "needle puncture," it was inflicted too high in the ohest to be "non-penetrating," for it was aimed with truly fiendish ingenuity at the position of one of the thin walls of the four oavities of the heart, and the directness of the penetration, combined with the thinness of the wall of tho cavity, rendered it physically impossible that the wound could be j "valvular." The Israelite warrior of old smote the enemy-when possible -"beneath the fifth rib," beoaunc the impulse of the heart is felt there. But he probably did not know that it is iii that precise position that a wound of the heart is least neces sarily fatal. The Italian assassin of recent date displays incomparably greater skill and knowledge. Tho Boience of the present day also pro vides that the historic account of tho death of Admiral Villeneuve is open to sooptical doubt.

Wilson has a wife and six children, while Armour is a widower with severs! grown children. Wilson was arrested almost at the scene of the orime, lying in a drunken stupor and he admitted his guilt. Armour was oaptured about eight milos away by Deputy George D. Barnes within three hours after he left the soene of the crime. He was starting for Georgia. The Btory of the crime ls a horrible one.

Tho Attorney General has rendored an opinion to tho effect that baby carriages must bo carriod by passenger trains as baggago v, hen it is for tho comfort and con ven i nee of the passengers, or in other words when tho babioB are along. Com plaint was made by citizens to the Rail road Commission recently that tho rail roads refused to cheek baby carriages as baggago and charged a regular rato whon thoy were put on passenger trains. The Commission report ed tho matter to the A ttorney General for a legal opinion and tho decision is that baby carriages aro necessary sometimes, especially when tho babioB aro along, but that thu rail roads should not bo imposed upon whon tho babioB aro not along, and regular rates should bo charged.

Ho can actually confer salvation through baptism ; ho can actually pardon sin and grant absolution from its punishment ; ho can shut tho king dom of heaven against any soul that fails to satisfy him.
