Brother Wardlaw in Arizona. Myself and family arrived at Pres oott, Arizona, ou tho 14th of .lauli my, whero my married daughter, Mrs. L. W. W heatly, lives. She and her husband gave us a warm wei come. Upon my arrival I found my name on tho program of the Yavapai County Sunday sohool convention for a talk on "The Sunday* School Teacher's Compensation." This con vention was held on the 20th and 21st. It was well attonded andgvery helpful to Sunday school workers. hast night I preached in the Baptist church, on "Tho Promises to the Overcomer." The congregation was large and attention good. This is tho only Baptist church within fifty miles of Prescott. It is doing a good work. Its pastor, Kev. E. B. Taft, is a Hue fellow, and a good preacher aud pastor.* There are two Metho dist churches here, one Congrega tional and one Catholic, and yet there are many hero who nevor at tend any of the church services. Prescott has a population of about 4,000 or 5,000. It is %terrounded by mountains from which the snow has not disappeared since we have been hore. It is over 5,'MO feet above sea level. The support comes from min ing interests, which are all around it. We are pleased with tho town, and have met quite a number ot* excellent people. We shall not make our home here. Tho question of our location is en tirely unsettled. Tho church at Safford, Arizona, where I worked several years ago, will soon be in its new house of worship, for which quito a number of my South Carolina friends gene rously contributed. They lack seve ral hundred dollars of having enough Lo finish the building, and have writ ten me for aid. Header, I know of no better place to put a dollar for home missions. This is a worthy and needy church. They have strug gled hard to get thc walls ap, and are now trying to get the doors and windows in. Send me a contribu tion tor this struggling baud of God's co-workers. The State papers are all welcomed by the entire family. As soon as I have decided tho question of my lo cation I will write you. Until then my address will bc Prescott, Arizona. The weather here is fine. Plenty of sunshine, but a litllo cool. I am glad the friends of temper ance have the decision of tho Su preme Court to sustain them in vot ing ont the dispensaries, which are veritable dens of vice. May the time soon como when they will all be voted out, and the law enforced. I bespeak for Bro. Blackburn, my .worthy successor at Seneca, a warm welcome and great success among the noble people of Seneca. Ile is, in my opinion, the right man in the right place. Seneca is a good Held /or hard work, and I sincerely hope Bro. Blackburn will have the hearty support and co-operation of every member of the church and overy friend of the cause of righteousness. I nevor expect to lind better people than are at Seneca and Walhalla. Kev. C. Wardlaw, in the Baptist Tress. Following is a private letter to riie Courier from Kev. C. Wardlaw : Tempe, Arizona, February 5. 1 >oar Courier : I have spent three weeks pleasantly in Prescott, Ari zona, but leave to-morrow for Tempe, Arizona, where my post office ad dress will he till further notice. The weather has been delightful during these three weeks, hut it is cloudy and misting rain to-day. Prescott < laims about 5,000 inhabitants. The elevation is 5,800 feet above sea level, which is about 4,000 feet above Walhalla. I have preached every Sunday since my arrival-once in tho Baptist, once in thc Methodist and once in the Congregational church. The town is full of saloons and places of shame and disgrace. And no one seems to caro. .Most placea of business close on Sunday, except the saloons, gambling dens and places of illfame. Sunday hunt ing is very common. All stores, ox copt drug stores, close at 6.80 p. m., and the drug stares close at 9 p. m. Of course tho saioons, etc., stay open night and day. We have not been out of sight of snow since the day we left Seneca. I have no definite idea yet where my m OW PEAS drav air in large POTASH and phospho to thc plant.

Helena Mont., February 7.-A runaway freight train on the North ern Pacific Railway came down a mountain side this morning and crashed into a passenger train. As a result, five are killed and three in jured. One of the injured is likely to die. The wreckage oaught fire. All the passenger cars were des troyed. Tho dead are Charles Bricknel, conductor, of Helena; J. F. Robertson, bridge inspector, of Helena, and Edward Jeziok, express messenger, of Helena, and two pas sengers, whose names aro not known. Jeff Brown, a brakeman, was mor tally injured. Heroic efforts were made to rescue those imprisoned in the wreck before the Hames could reach thom and all were gotten out except Jezick. He was pinned down by wreckage and, although tho res cuers were near enough to speak to him, they were unable to froe him before he was reached by the flames. The impact was such that tho pas senger train was literally lifted into the air and nearly the entire freight | train derailed. The freight got be yond control near tho top of a moun tain and with overy mile it gained momentum. It had a straight stretch of fourteen miles and tho Urin at tained a speed of 120 miles an hour. The passenger train was just pulling] out of the depot at Helena when the ? freight crashed into it. In an in stant both trains were an almost in- j distinguishable heap of wreckago and a mass of flames. That any per son on either train escaped alive is considered a miracle. Tho reason Ur.

Great things havch appened to our nation in the month of February. But there aro two days in it which have a luster all their own : the twenty-second, because on that day, in the year 17112 was born George Washington ; and the twelfth, bo cause on that day was born Abraham Lincoln in the year 1809. For tho sake of that which these two men wrought, to make and to keep these United States a nation, these two birthdays shine amongst all the days of the calendar like stars of tho first magnitude. There have been twenty-five Presi dents of this nation. Washington was tho first, Lincoln the sixteenth. Almost without exception our Presi dents have been good and patriotic men. Compared with any other lino of rulers in any country, they aro probably superior in intolligenco and character. Some of thom wore fam ous men whoso names and thoughts are factors in our national life to-day. But there is that in the service of these two which oas placed thom in tho esteem of their countrymen above and apart from all tho others, and their names, like thoir birthdays, aro linked together. This praise was not always theirs. v nitrogen from the amounts, if sufficient ric acid are supplied mrposes served by the re told in the 65-page Cow Pea," which also results obtained from th POTASH. The book ie asking, N KALI WORKS. Atlanta, <J.i. ?ZJi SQ, Broad Street. Eaol) of them passed through the ordeal of abuse and of calumny. To each was meted out not only thal bitterness which cuts and wounds, j but what is harder for true men to ? bear, the suspicion of mean motives | and of false ideals. Against the background of glory in which the figure of Washington is seen by our generation we seldom remember that when he delivered his last address to Congress there were men in that body who publicly thanked God that George Washing ton no louger endangered the gov ernment by his presence. Lincoln's life lies nearer our own time. Men are now living who knew the bitter and the cruel things which wero said of him. "He knew to bide his time Till the wiso years decido." After the sure verdict of the years for they are our wisest judgeR-he, like Washington,, is loved of all Americans. While Washington and Lincoln shared . this common experience at the hands of smaller mon, they wore in personal characteristics as wide apart as men can well bo. Washing ington was tho soldier, dignified, re-, served, aristocratic, one of tho richest men of his day and a member of the highest social circle ; Lincoln was tho politician-tho noblest Ot call ings-uncouth at first glance, born in poverty, and spending all his early | manhood in a frontier society. What did they have in common that could raise them so high in honor that they stand together and alone? It was this : To thc great essential qualities of character which good men nfust have-energy, sincerity, devotion, moral courage, unselfish purpose-each of these two men added that rarest of all human en dowments which we call common sense-that is, the ability to think straight, the power to see both sides of a question. It was tho quality of the clear mind, crowning their other great qualities, which brought these men to greatness. Other men there were, just as patriotic, just as brave, some who were moro clever-for the ability to think straight is a very different thing from mero intellectual clever ness. Indeed, in the groatest mon there is a certain simplicity of mind which teaches them to go straight at the truth, and to be satisfied with nothing short of it. Washington and Lincoln had this simplicity of great souls. It was in this that they carno together, and in virtue of it they so wrought aa to be reckoned ir. the company ot the immortals of all timo? and of all lands. As wc honor their names in these February days, lot UH take into our | problems of to-day at least these les sons from their lives. In our country thc path to tho highest service may lie cither through riches or through poverty. A man's true place on his country's roll of honor is not fixed by tho accusations of small or mean men. He who aspires to the highest service and to truo leadership must have not only sincerity and moral purpose and unselfish devotion, but ho must also think dearly. If wo may boar in mind th eso things, wo shall be able to judge fairly tho mon and tho measures of our own day, and to work for the nation in the spirit of Washington and of Lincoln. ?-Honry S.
