DANIFL AN) DARIUS. DR. TALMAGE'S PRACTICAL DIS COURSE TO YOUNG MEN. Lpisguat to lie Oi-iII It'i iUm C011,b:I. of a 1a11 Who DareAl Dobuy H t11ng The vilun of cavuactor and 4;U m111emm. INh1o-mYN, May 4.-Dr. Talmage took for his subject today the character of Daniel and drew from it lessons of sound practical valic for the youn men, of whom so large a number are al ways to be seen amonz the most cater and attentivo listeners in the Ta bernacle congregations. His text was Dniel vi, 2, "Dauiel was tirst." Where in romance can you tlld any thing equal to what Daniel was in reali tj? A young man, far away from home, imtrodueed into the most magniticeit and mot dissliute palace ot all tIv earth. The king, wishin-4 to make this young man a prodigy in personal appear atice, orders hi4 attendants to see that. he has plenty of meat and wine, and Danel refuses these delicacies and in fists on a vegetable diet, refusinr everv thing but pulse anld water, waving back ill the rich viands wit i determined "No; I thank you." lIe surpasses all the princes in brilhiancy. As this sull rises higher and higher in the firm men I, it puts out all the stars, :md it there is an1ything the stars hate it is tile Sill. Danie1 becoeics so inn1kh (ot a fivore with King Darius that our unlig hero i promoted to be prime milnister or Se -(,, tary of Btate-the Frelinhiysen Itr 1the 1isiarck of the anlcienis. lIut no min every attained suclh higih1 positio wilh-t cut excitinm- the envy of'othwrs.

'oucerning the Democrtcy of State Recretarv Tindal. SUMTEI, S. C., May 6.-A short time ince the following was published iu ,he Southern and Watchman: The 'olumbia Register of April 26th con ains the speech whilch Secretary of 5tate James E. Tindal, made at Edge leld on April 23d. From this speech Ye quote the following. " We not only did not desert our lead rs after the war, but we did not desert he Democratic party in the darkest kour of its existence and the gloomiest ,ears of our lives. Neither poverty, mmiliation, bribe, nor temptations ould seduce us from that'party because, ve believea in local self-government. oome of our lead%rs deserted, but not he people." From this we would be led to believe, f we did not know better, that the hon rable gentleman had always been the ruest and most devoted Democrat. It ounds very nice and no doubt serves he purpose as well as anything else. It s good Democratic doctrine, but com ng from the source it does, it appears o lack the true ring of the genuine netal. Having heard during the campaign of 890 that, the record of James E. Tindal s'a Democrat was not as brignt as it hould be, we immediately upon seeing his speech set about investig iting the umors previously heard. The following extract from a letter eeived from a gentleman in Manning xplains itself and deflines James E. 'indal's Democracy: ''What you have heard of Secretary indal's quondam Radical proclivities strictly true; also the fact that for a )ng while he was discarded by some of i-i nearest relatives; and I feel assured iat the opinions of a portion of them L-main the same. By nearly every ood and intelligent person he was held i sovereign contempt. When E. V. I. Mackey was "billed" for his Claren .on crusade, Mr. Tindal put himself ar out of the way to give him aid and omfort; and enteitained him at his own ousie." These facts are publisheit as informa ion. If Secretary Tindal can disprove hem. th-t uolumnns of thia paper are pei to him. Ni. TINDAL'S ANSwER. Th1 following is what Mr. Tindal has o say in reply to the above: "1'he Watchman and Southron has ublished a statement, without cause or istice, which reflects, or is intended to ellect, upon me. If it were only for elc people of Clarendon I should not otice it, Wit as it is copied by other apers, and it may be some time before catl appear publicly before the people f Clarendon, it is due to my friends. I ever throw mud, nor do I like to notice very little evil thing thrown at me. "I have vottd every Democratic eket since I became of age. I was a iember of every convention of white eople held in my County; was sent to ,ie taxpayers' convention and every ther convention of white peopledur. ig Itadical rule; was president of one f the best and first Democratic clubs i my County; was master of one of the rst.(xrange of my County; was elect I lecturer f the State Grange, and to ie Legislature in 1890 and several rms subsequently; and never attended Rtadical club or convention or had ny understanding or connection with ie ltadical party in my life. 'This is il matter of such public knowledge as need no coinment. "Jumst after the war, while our ownl eop.le still had control and we were onsidering what was best to do, 1 op osedi the negro code, and at a public lteetinmg of our people at Manning I id: "'Grant will be elected President as ire as he lives, just as L"e, it a candi ate, would be IPresidlent of the South in1 Con federacy if it had established its idependence. Tihcrefore the wisest aing~ for us to do is to give the negro Lialilledi suffrage while we may, or mniersal sulfrage will be forced upon 3.' Thatlspeech made me very unpop lar for the time, because the idea of lowinur a negro to vote at all was so stasteful at the time. But in a year ranat was elected arid finally came uni 3rsal suffrage. I did not desert the tople; when they would not go with e, I went with them. I also opposed te Greeley movement, but went along itti it. I never failed to express my ews, whether poptular or unpopular, Id believe still that my judgement was ght. As to my nearest relatives dis ruing me on that account, It Is pre terous. TLhey regretted lay speech ~cautse they thought it unwise to ex ess what some of them believed as rongly as 1 did. -'As to giving a night's lodging to ackey, I did, and would do it, again Ider the circumstances, and would do even to this enemy of mine, who ould do me harm without provocation. iir County then had no0 railroads or >tels, andl I was brought up and sur minded( all amy life with people who be eyed it to be a Christian duty to enter Lini strangeis, to give to hospitality, to yve food and shelter even to one's lemoy. Hlut so far from having any impllathy with him, i, with only twen siive of our people to back me, among horm was my friend, Mr. IIenry hiomas, attacked arid opposed him at iberty l11ll, in the presence of, more ian a thousand of his excited follow -s, w ithout regard to thme risk or conmse uenices. T1hiese are i-im pie facts." 'A wo Sudden Deaths. COL UMnIA, S. C., May 12.--About 9 'clock last aught, Mrs. E. Knott, who ves onl Ilanding street, near Bull, was .iddenly taken Ill.
