I have been viotr the Hol Land and into parts ofItaly, Rome or Instance, which I ha, not seen before, although I have b*6n abroad many times. Every plimm In Palestine has had great Inter est for me. Just before I reached Bethlehem and Jerusalem I could not sleep. I was as excited as a boy, for it was the realizatlon of a life dream. "At Jericho I met an American, whose name I have forgotten, who asked me to baptize him in the River Jordan. So one fine Sunday morning, when the sun shone gloriously bright, we assembled together on the banks of the great,river. I was clad in the white robes of an Arab shiek. A small crowd of interested people stood about me, some of whom were Americans, who sang together "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand," which my daughter had copi ed from a hymn book. After this the emersion was performed and we dis banded. "My trip was replete with Biblical interest. I feel doubly repaid for it, Ever book in the Bible seemed to sp"ak more forcibly and I could trace all the impor'ant places in Bible his tory in every journey made." THE PRETTY YOUNG WIDOW.

C., .January 19, 189( THlE CLEMFON WILL CASE. A Motion to Advance thel Case en iih Docket or tho Unaited Mtateu Supreon Court Made and Argued Washington-Decieion Reserved. Special to the Neiva and Courier. WA'sHINOTON, D, C., January 20. There was an unusually brilliant ar ray of legal talent from South Caroli na in the United States Supremi Court room today. There were At torney General Jos. H. Earle, Messrs A. T. Smythe and J. L. Orr, repre uenting the State of South Carolina i the famous Clemson will case, and Ex Attorney General Leroy Youmans Messrs. J. P. Carey and Alexande King, representing Miss Isabella Lee Ex-Governor Chamberlanin, Con. gressman Dibble and several othe; South Carolinians were also present but the latter were not con necte< with the Clemson case. After Chie Justice Fullor and his associates hat read several decisions the Court an nounced its readiness to hear appeali for motions on behalf of the State c South Carolina. Attorney General Earle presentet certamn reasons why the Clemson case shonld he advanced upon the docke for oral argument thereon. Alte: briefly reciting the salient features o the case, he suimitted three points te sustain his motion to advance: IFirst. That this case comes direct ly within the rule which prescribes that where the St1ate is a p)arty, the State has a right to submit to tht Court a motion to advance. .Second. That the case is one upor its own merits, of such paramouni importance, not only involving largi amounts, but also relating to largi educational interests, and of such ben efit to the people at large -that it de serves the attention of the Court and its interposition under the enablinj statute for a speedy determination o; the same. Third. That unless this case is ad vanced and disposed of so that actna) operations may be instituted by the State before the 20th of April, 1891, a very serious question will arIse wheth er the State will not entirely lose the benefit of the bequest. Gen. Earle said that if the Couri re Aused to grant the motion to advance he hoped permission would be granted to suabmit the case -upon printed argu mrents at the earliest practicable peri od. He said that the counsel for Mliss Lee were willing to accept this propo sition. - Justice Miller suggested that it would be necessary for counsel to fie a certificate to that effect. Mr. Youmans promptly stated that the representatives of Mist, Lee were willing to have the case advanced or submit lt upon printed arguments. Chief Justice Fuller remarked that the statement of Mr. Youmans in open Court rendered a printed certificate unnecessary. The case was taken un der advisement, and the decision will not be rendered until next Monday. R. M.L. Natal Fxpetes of Natural Gaeg.

CAIRO, ILL., January 19 -Three hundred persons at Caruie, Illinois, have been compelled to leave their homes by a sudden rise in Little Walmah River, And it is feared that a sull larger num k ber will be forced o abandon their dwellings and take refuge on high ground. The river is out of its banks, and the northern part of the town is flooded to the depth of 20 feet in some places, and from 75 to 100 houses are submerged. The houses have all been vacated, the people seekin refuge in t spare rooms of' their neiR bor in the 3 southorn part of town. Vast stretches of low land and meader are under water, and a number of animals have been car ried away or drowned in the fields. a Fence railF, boards and other drift borne down stream by the raging waters, in 3 dicate that the farmers have suffered ) much. Hay on the bottom lands has been ruined. It is reported that the worst is yet to come, and that the poo pie in the towns along the Little Wa bash are preparing for the worst. At Gorwin it is expected that the river will t rise 15 feet higher. If this does hap B pen, the result will be appalling. A Bloody Crime ini Uion. A dispatch from Union says: "Last t Friday morning a little colored boy, - living with J. B. Porter, while goiog to his rabbit gum, about 30 yards from I town, in an open field, on T. C. Dun can's premises, found the dead body of I a bright mulatto girl, named Susie Fer - r nandes, from Spartanburg, lying in a I gully about three feet deep with her I throat cut from ear to ear. The coroner e and sherift were at once notified, who - went to the scene of the horrible deed f and summoned a jury, who are now at work on the case and will probably finish it by Tuesday evening. As far a as can be ascertained, it appears that t she was killed in a house occupied by a colored woman named Lotie Mack, in the back yard- jsBf. " M. Ao.rA. She hadA great many bruises over her head and face. After killing her, the body was redressed, as there was not a drop of blood to be found on her clothes. When found a dull barlow knife was lying under her head, and her hat, handkerchief and gold spec tacles were lying on the edge of the gulley, thus trying to make it appear as if she had committed suicide. She had been missed for some five or six *days. Five arrests have been made , so far-four women and one man. A special to the Greenville News gives the following: .The coroner's jury found that the ,woman, Susie Fernandes, "came to - her death by one James Vincent, o white, and 1,ottie McMahon, Charlie Gilliam and william Davis, colored." .From the facts gathered from the .testimony at the coroner's inquest, the murder is the most diabolical and cold ,blooded that has ever been committed ,in this county. James Vincent had r been intimate with the deceased for .some time,the result of which was that .she was expected to become a mother. From the testimony of Win. Davis he with Charlie Gilliam, Lottie McMai3on and James Vincent went to the cenm f etery where the body had been con veyed after death and removed! it . about a quarev of a mile, to a swamp near Mr. T. C. Duncan's residence f where they threw it into a ditch, dis arranged the clothes, placed a knife near by, to give the impression that the deceased was assaulted and then nfurdered. The accused are all now r In jail and will proceed through their f' lawyer to try to get bail. Mlid-S!umaner Wenather. CJol. Thomas W. Hlolloway, secretary of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, writes from Pomaria as tollows: "The con tinued warm is becoming serious to the farmers. Those who killed hogs have lost the joints. I have heard of some whose meat lay in the pickle for six weeks or over, and when the joints were taken out was good, but a few days' exposure developed taint, I have four teen fat hogs yet to kill and in the event the warm weather continues much longer, I propose to kill adid pickle in strong brine In barrels. The salt should be boiled, (taking off the- scum,) and applied when about milk warm. The joints should be put in the barrel with the large end downwards and the crev ices filled in with the sides cut in small strips. An aged lady of 80 years writes: "I recollect well such a winter sixty two years ago-1827-23. No cold until about Easter-about the first of April when all vegetation was killed, the thermnometer being lower than at any time during the w;nte'r." Plum trees are blooming, fruit trees budding. Grane apprehensions are felt for small grain, Wheat sown late in October is as high as It usually is the first of March. There will be no fruit this year." -The charter of the Loisiiana Lot tery Is about to expire, and the greatest political fight the State ever knew will ensue over a proposition to renew the charter.

I A Split In the W. C, T. U. PHtLADRLPHA, January 24.-At last there is a break In.. the ranks of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Pennsylvania, and the secedere have formed an independent organization. The split was determined upon at a con ference of the body today. The break was brought about by the frequent en dorsement.of the ProLibitinn party and Its methods by a number of the members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Immediately after the devotional ex ercfses the President's add.ess was read, which began by stating that "differences of opinion in methods of work and the best manner of accomplishiug practical results have, during the last fewyears in this State, grown rapidly, and are now so conspicuous that harmonious co- ope. - ation, among those who have sincerely and conscientiously ulffered, is mani festly impossible. An actual separation seems to be a practical, wise necesstiv if the labor& of very many good women are to be continued and used effectively against the common enemy." Mrs. Shepard :resented the Secreta ry's report, wbich spoke in bitter terms of partisan methods. It charged that the operations of the politicians were concealed behind it. Mrs Weeko offered a resolution 'that I the meeting proceed to organize a non- c sectarian and nonpar:isan- Women's ( Cbristian Temperance Union. This was t agreed to. A commfttee on constitu tion was appointed. t A Mad Eperleace In A-kans. Asheville Citiven.
