Respeclfully Delicated.
DY IlkI NIRCIe, MOLLIE I. DAVIS.
Gentle mother, why art thou weeping ?
Why let (Oars thy choeks run down ?
The form thou lovest is only sleeping,
While the spirit wears a crown.
She's no more oppressed wit sadness,
Wandering in this val of tears ;
But now wreatio-1 in smiles of gladness,
At the throne of God appears.
We know another bright link is broken,
In the chain of parental love ;
But there the severed link is waiting
To 'o wedded in Heaven abovo.
We know one holy tie is severed,
Whichhas bound thee here on eart!',
But now it tiraws Ohee nearer Heaven
Where pariing, sighs ne'er have birth.
Dry thy tears then, entle inother,
Long to sce her back no more,
Dut prepare thy soul to mcel her,
Oaiyon bright, celestial shore.

the river on Monday reached a higher
point then it has for years. Under
the influence of wind and tidoe, the
waters rise to a fearful height, com
pletely flooding the other side of the
river and sub merging .the various
buildings located there. The rice

Remarkable Speech by the Pope.
It. 1ms already .eien mriade' kIlowVn
that 27.000 male citizens of toimi
nflixed their names, with their ad
dress and occupation, to a letter to
the l'o.e, expressimg their grief at
the occupatioll of Rome by the Ital
ian Governn.ent, and their anxiety to
see the I'ope restored to his former in
dependence. When this addres.,
with its 27,000 signatures, was pre.
sented to the Pope, the other day, ho
made a very remarkable speech, of
which the following is a transla.
tioln
Yes, it is most true, and let us ren.
der glory to God and thanks to God
for imaking iL thus manifest that
Rome has been true to herself.
Heaven Grant that never may it have
to be said of her : "Woe unto thee,
Choraizin, woe unto thee, Bethsaidn,
for if the mighty things had been
done in Tyro and Sidon which have
been done in thee, they would long
ago have repented in sack cloth and
ashes ; therefore, it shall bo more
tolerable in the day of judgment for
'Tyre and Sidon thau for you." No!
never can such words apply to Rome.
The spirit of honor and loyalty which
held you close bound to me, which
in the midst of overflowing evil, keeps
you in the straight path of justice
with such abundant courage, renders
you worthy s;ubjects of this H oly City,
ompurpled with the blood of her no
ble martys, and rendered illustrious by
the heroic virtue of her multitude of
confessors. The good works to which
you devote yourselves with so great
zeal, your labors for the mnainte
nanmce and ,dif'usion of religion, will
assured ly earn for you the blessing
of God and the applause of all men of
piety, not to may of all the just and
upright. Mlay God keep you ever
faithful to your good intentions, and
presevre you from cont.aminat.ion of
the evils which have overflowed this
city. With my whole affection, I
pour out my lenediction upon you
and upon your families, and I bless
all those who now, being outof Rome,
are preveuted from subjoining their
names as they would wish. -*
W* Men have said that I am worn
out and weary. True, I am weary of
witnessing the iniquity, injustice and
disorder around us ; I ani weary of
the insults offered, day by day, to re.
ligion inl this city, which was wont
to sbine before the world as an exam
plC of faith and morals ; I am weary
of the oppression of the weak inno
cent, of the insults offered to minis
ters of the sanctuary, of the profana.
tion of objects of our dearest venera
tion. * * * Of all this
I am weary, in truth ! But worn out
and weary in the sense of being ready
to surrender the cause committed to
me ; in the sense of being ready to
com1promise the struggle with injus
tire, and of turning back from the
pursuit of that Which is right-in this
sense, no ! No, in this sense I am
/ Iot weary, and, by the help of God,
ever shall it he said I became thus
.weary.* * * Anew, I give
you my benediction to bear up in this
struggle in which you, too, are en
goged ; and I in voke it, in copious
measure oi your families, also, and
on your substance. May it le with
yoti thr ough life, and open for you

have been the inadequate stplty on

will take till morning before a new

Recent finaucial negotiation in) con
nection with Secretary Boutwell's
new loan have brought into use
among us a term heretofore utnknown
in outr business eircle. It is said that
a "syndiente"-has agreed to take the
loan, antd an explanation of thte word
has ntot as yet appeared. lIn the
French commilercial law a "syndio"'
is the assignee of all insolvent's or
btank rupt's estate, and a "syndicat e"
is thte body of assignees, or syndios.
In thtis sense it is rather a jtke on thte
Secretary's pot loan that it shtould be0
regarded abroad as a sort of a comnpo
sitionl with creditors; but thte real
meaning to be attacbed to the phrase
is simiply that of a committee or board
of directors, "syndic" in the Europeant
busintess world answering substan.
tially to a board, committee, or agen
cy among us.-New York World.

Adjutant General Gorman arrived
in this city 3esterdny from Robeson
'outity, where lie has been to look
ifter Lowery and his gang. At Lum
berton and elsewhere inl the county
he consulted with the citizens as to
the best means to be adopted to effect
the capture or exterminatitin of the
outlaws. Ile finally proposed a plan
of hii own, which met with general
favor and will put into execution at
the earliest practicable moment.
This plan so far as it is prudent, to
divulge it, is as follows Gen or
ian ithas commissioned Capt. F. M.
Wisbart, in whom he scoms to have
the utmitost confidenco, Us Colonel of
59th Regiment of Militia, and direct.
ed hint to raise a company of fifty
men by voluntary enlistment, to be
composed of persons of the requisito
nerve and determination to enable
them to go into the field with the
resolution to remain thoro until the
object of their mission shall be accomn
plished. In addition to thesc fifty
volunteers there will be sent to the
county a Company of fifty United
States troops, who vill co operate
with them. Gen. Gorman thinks a
hundred mon, amply suflicient, to rid
the county of the outliws, and oaletiu
lated to be much more cifectual than
a larger force.

A lurrermne of Stones.
Iu Zarate, a city of the Argentino
Republic, there happened, on the 8th
of June last, a frightful hurricane of
ston es. The Cordova Piensa de
scribes it as follows :
It was about half-past 4 A. M.,
the atmosphere without the slightest
breeze, and suffheating ; the cloutds
went on slowly ieccum ulating in great
mnases in the West ; 5 A. M., struck,
when a dull yet frightful sound was
heard far olf to the Westward. A win
ute afterwards the storm broke in an
awful form. It begun with a sound
like the disoargo of heavy artillery,
with lightning. The Pampero wind
swept over with unusual violence and
fury, bringing with it a oloud of
stones, such as never had been seen
before. These stones were as big as
goose eggs, fell everywhere, very few
heing as small as that or a pigeon.
Ilou-cs, huts and roofs of all sorts suf
fered terribly ; some were knooked
over, others unrooted, and all injured.
Not a lane of glass or a public lamp
sut vived unbroken, aid many were
carried to a great di.taneo by the
force of the wind. lBuildings exposed
to the fury of the bl.st looked as if a
rifle corps had had been doieg their
hest ag;iiast, them. Many animals
were reported killed, and one wonan

terpriso on a !arge salo-the build
ing of ready-mado houses for shipment
to the sparsely settled districts inl
the interior, where skilled labor is
scarco, and the facilities for house
building meager. It now appeani
from the Chicago press that the en
ternrise has proved an immenseo ue.
0ess. The Tribune of a lato date
con tains the following :
"Il visiting the new harbor at
South Chicago we noticed three of
the cars of the Union Pacilio Railroad
ComIpany loaded with four completo
two story dwellinga conttining seven
rooms each, with partitions, stairs,
doors, windows, sash and casings,
roofs, and trimmings for doors and
windows completo, and which can be
placed in complete condition for oc
cupancy in two hourp after being un
loaded frotm the cars. This is the
first shipment on an order for two
hundred dwellings given to the South
Chicago Building Company. The
buildings are constructei under the
patent and diroction of 1). S. Whit
tenhall, and will be furnished in
every variety, and at prices that give
them an attraction and merit over
any other builings now used for the
accommodation of population in new

people more heartily than ever ; they
are debaucbing the freedmen ; they
are bringing disgrace upon the vin

rapacity is insatiable and that they
steal every penny that they can lay
their hands on, are comparatively
trivial counts in the indictment
against them. Yet this constant
plundering is a very serious matter to
the communities which are plunder
ed. It ieans increased indebtedness

Our Horse,
A man in Wisconsin advertisos his
horse for sle, and thuns discourses:
Thou canst bind with hand in the
furrow ; heo will harrow the valleys
after thee.
H le will gather thy seed ini the barn.

His bones are like strong pieces of

Gloomy Crop Acconnts.
Very gloomy crop reports reach
Charleston from the whole South,and
it would som that the sections of
country which escaped the floods and
high winds, of Friday rnd Saturday,
are suffering soverely from the long.
continuing drought,
Abovo Columbia, in this State, the
rains wero light. Corn has been ter.
ribly injured, a half crop of cotton
is the bost that can be expected.
Similar accounts are given by gentle
men who have recently passed
through the Georgia cotton region.
The staple there is uaid to be paiched
up by the dry heat.
Upon the crop of long cotton the
effet of the gales Is extremely dis.
astrous. A plantation on John's Is
land, which had the finest cotton in
the neighborhood, was entirely sub.
merged on Sunday. This crop is lost.
Nor are the accounts from Edisto
more encouraging. The crop was the
finest since the war, and equal to any
of the crops before the war, but, ao
cording to the estimate of one of the
most intelligent planters on the Is.
land, the gale has reduced the crop
by one-third.
There is natut al disposition in the
South to take a gloomy view of the
crop prospect; because the last two
months have nipped so many budding
hopes, and becauso the Northern op
erators are so universally sanguine.
But, making every allowance for a
tendency to look on tie dark side,
we are coniident that, under the most
favorable circumstances, the cotton
crop of this State will be one-third
less-than that of last year. And we
dount tha any other Southern State
will do much better.-Char. News.
A "imorlal for Revenge6.
A Paris correspondent makes the
rather incrodible statement that "the
Frenoh overnmont Is collecting
statistics of the cost of the Gorman
invasion-the requisitions in money
and in kind, pillages, contribution of
war, destruction and cost of rebuild
ing public works, taxes levied, value
of ammunition, arms, &a., captured
the cost of supporting the German
army of occupation, the $1,000,000,
000 paid, All those are to be eol
looted and published in a volume,
to be entitled 'iLo Memorial do la
Revanohe.' It will be the bill to be
presented to Germany when France is
victorions in the war on Germany.
'Wo know our honor is flowinging out
with our blood by those two gaping
wouls, Alsace and Lorraine. We
feel France cannot live with that
frightful mutilation ; we know France
must one day perish or close that
wound by filling it with legions of
Prussians corpses.' " But by the
time France is likely to be in posi
tion to attempt revenge, the next
generation will have come to maturi
ty and they may think tie! have
something better to do than avenging
the disasters of their fathers. "The
avengoment of waterloo" was the
Frenchman's dream through one
generation, but now he appears to
have comc to look to England rather
as a natural enemy. It may prove
to be so with Germany fifty years

Plain Talk About Royally in Eilgland.
The London D~aily News has this
frank declaration in its editorial col
umn :
It is not of the cost of Royalty that
people coimplain, but ot the cost of
Royaltyin retreat. It is not that the
people do not want Royalty, but that
they miss it and regret it. They
want to see more of it, to feel its
presence as the presiding genius and
influence over society, as the visible
embodiment and supreme oxpresslin
of all that is grand and gracious, and
hospitable and majestic in the histo.
ry amnd traditions o'f the State. They
wept to see Imperial and Royal visi
tors.to this country received as guosts
in the Palage, not lodged as strangers

Cod lver Oil Butter.
An ingenious pharmaceutist has
lately adopted the method of making
cod liver oil butter, for the lpurpoae
of being 'administored to such pa
tients as find an objection in the taste
of the oil itself. This is done by
combining the oil with a concrete or
butyraceous fat, thus bringing it
Into a form In which it can be used
asm butter on breed, or made Into pills.
It is also suggestedi that by mixing
cod liver oil with mustard, egg, and
thme other ingredients used in making
salad dressitig, the taste can be so
disguised as to rondoer it a palatable
