He relates an incident of the wooly west that is characteristic and quite Oklahomesque. Mr. Peck is nothing if not diplomatic, and when he found that the president of the school board in this territorial city was also the owner of a hotel he decided to stop at his hostelry. For why? Because he wanted to get nis iurnaces into me suuuui uuhuhib in the place, and?well that's another story. Mr. Peck found the hotel keeper to be a whole-souled jolly fellow, and there's nobody any more jovial than Peck himself. They visited the schools, tne president of the board first putting on a long-tailed coat, saying: "She adds dignity, an' then, she hides my gun which are a bad example, 'afore them children. I don't approve of anybody under 14 carryin' a gun.' After returning to the hotel from the visit of inspection the president of the board, now transferred into a landlord, said: "Peck, you're a good feller. You ain't goln' to let your light be hid under a bushel, Peck?" "No, I ain't," said Mr. Peck, rather dubious as to the compliment. "Well, I tell you what I'm goin' to do fer you.

"Yes" or "No."?The efforts on the part of members of the house to pin one another down to direct answers reminded Representative Capron , of Rhode Island?one of the best story tellers in the house, by the way?or an experience in the last campaign. Mr. Capron was very much bothered while making a speech by a man in the audience who insisted on asking questions to which he demanded either "yes" or "no" for an answer. "But there are some questions," finally remarked Mr. Capron, "which cannot be answered by 'yes' or 'no.'" "I should like to hear one," scornfully commented his annoyer. "Well," said Mr. Capron, "I think I can prove it. Have you quit beating your wife. Answer 'yes' or 'no.' " The crowd saw at once that Mr. Capron had the man in a trap. If he said "yes" it was a confession that he had been beating his wife, if he said "no" it was an admission that he was still indulging in the pastime. "Yes" or "no" shouted everybody in the hall, and in the midst of the confusion the man made his escape.? Washington Post. A new member of congress was very anxious to get upon the good side of Superintendent Smith of the Botanic Gardens, so that some flowers and potted plants might be sent to his house. As every one knows, Smith is a fine old Scotchman, who worships the memory of "Bobbie" Burns and has probably the finest and most complete collection of editions of Burns' work in the world. When, therefore, the new member went to Smith he resolved to say something which would please the lover of Burns. When he entered Smith's library he looked with Interest upon the books. "I always did love Jimmle Burns' poems," remarked the new member. "I never saw such a fine collection of his works. I think Jimmie Burns was one of the greatest men who ever lived." At this point Mr. Smith could contain himself no further. " 'Jimmie' Burns!" he exclaimed, angrily. ' "Tommy Washington! Sammy Bonaparte! Get out!" And then the new member realized that he had made a mistake.?Washington Post. P.kcafse He Had To.?Prof. Gallaudet, who has done so much toward educating deaf mutes, tells this story: One of the professor's favorite pupils, an unusually precocious child, was ask ed by his teacher if he knew the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. With his fingers the youngster repeated the tale without a break, until he came to the point where the elder Washington questions his son. "When George's father asked him who hacked his favorite cherry tree," continued the child, moving his signaling fingers almost as rapidly as some persons move their tongues, "George put his hatchet in his left hand " "Wait a moment," said the professor "how do you know that he took the hatchet in his left hand?" "Because," answered the boy, "he needed his right hand to tell his father that he had chopped the tree." International ^eooon.

As in Gen. i and II and Rev. xxi and xxii so throughout this whole Bible the , story is that of God working out His ] eternal purpose (Eph. iii, 11) notwith- j standing the opposition of the devil i and of sinful men controlled by the < devil. The special story of 'he Acts < is that of the beginning of the^tathering out from the gentiles a people for His name (xv, 14). and this work be- | gan in the home of Cornelius under 1 Peter, as recorded in our lesson. Al- 1 though the Lord had commanded before His ascension that the gospel be i preached to every creature and unto the uttermost part of the enrtty (Mark j xvi, 13; Acts i, 8), the preaching had i up to this time been to the Jews only ( (xi, 19), and Peter had to receive a < special vision to teach him that God ; was no respecter of persons. 36-38. Preaching peace by Jesus Christ ] These glad tidings were for Israel ] first (Luke xxiv. 47; Acts i, 8), but in , order that Israel might reach out to i the gentiles, which they were slow to j do. God made the sinless one to be , sin for us that we might In Him be ( made righteous before God (II Cor. v, , 21), and apart from Him there is no righteousness, no salvation, however , devout or prayerful a man may be. \ Even Nicodemus had to be born from ; above in order to enter the kingdom i of God, and Peter had to bring to Cor- , nellus the message by which he and ( Lis house might be saved (xl. 14). for l there is no salvation apart from the t reception of Christ and faith in His i atoning blood (Acts iv, 12; Lev. xvii, , 11). i 39. We are witnesses. < A witness does not need to get up his little speech or make up anything, i He simply tells truthfully what he knows, and the redeemed of the Ix>rd 1 are continually on the witness stand proclaiming something concerning Je- ] sus Christ. If all the redeemed were true witnesses, what a glorious testimony would be ever going forth concerning Him who is altogether lovely! i 40-42. He commanded us to preach unto < the people and to testify that It Is He < which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. In all their preaching these witnesses fail not to declare that although the ! Jews killed Jesus God raised Him from the dead and showed Illin openly to chosen witnesses, and now Peter declares, as Paul afterward does (xvii, 31), that lie is the God appointed Judge of ull mankind. 43. To Him give all the prophets wltnesa On the way to Eramaus as He talked with those two that resurrection day He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself and taught that all things concern- ' lng Him in the law, the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled (Luke xxiv, 27, 44). The Spirit of Christ was in the prophets, and the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of puophecy (I Pet. 1, 10, 11; Rev. xix. 10). and the uniform testimony of all in whom the Spirit 6peaks is that the first great essential i is the forgiveness of sins, and this can be had only In Christ by His precious blood. 44. While Peter yet spake these words the Holy Ghost fell on all them which 1 UCUiU vuo nw.u. The message was not Peter's message, but the Lord's own message i through Peter, and Cornelius so recognized It, for he had said to Peter, "We are all here present before God : to hear all things that are commanded thee of God" (verse 33). As the word was spokeu the Spirit wrought, their opened hearts received Him of whom Peter in the power of the Spirit spake, and the Spirit Himself came in power 1 upon them at the same time. 1 45, 46. They heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. It was as at Pentecost (chapter 11, 4), except that there was no waiting, for i the Spirit having come as our Lord i promised there is no longer any need to wait, but where the heart is open and the Lord truly received there may be also the filling of the Spirit. While there is no need to wait any definite : time to be filled with the Spirit, there may be a need to wait because of the unreadiness of the believer to receive. There came with Peter six Jewish brethren from Joppa (Acts xi, 12). who, ; although believers, were astonished i when they saw the Holy Spirit given > to these gentiles. It is to this day difficult for some believers to think that i any people can be blessed outside of their so called churches, but they need to learn that God is no more a respect- ' er of denominations than of persons. 47, 48.

New* and Comment That Is of More or Lem Local Interest. YORK. Rock Hill Herald, April 9: Major A. H. White left yesterday for Charleston, where he goes to attend a meeting of the premium committee of the South Carolina Agricultural society Our merchants have finished opening up their spring stocks and trade is now, and has been fully up to the average since the first of January. It is true, money is not as plentiful as in times past, yet everybody appears to nave a little of the circulating medium Some persons wish to know when the big snow of Apirl came. It was Sunlay, April 15, 1849. There had been five pr six weeks of spring weather. Forest leaves were about half grown. Field crops and gardens were luxuriant. Early lots of wheat were beginning to head. The snow began in this county 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning and fell six to eight hours. The general estimate was that it was a 6-inch snow. Next morning there was a hard freeze. All vegetation was killed. The dead peaches made the ground beneath the trees black when they fell. It remained cold several days after the snow. That was before the days of weather bureaus and records of temperature The Herald has information that the bill, introduced by Congressman Finley, providing for the erection of a government building at Rock Hill, is still before the committee to which it was referred. Mr. FInley is doing all he can for the measure, and while he is not sure of a favorable report from that committee, he is hopeful. It seems that four such bills have been Introfrnm ffrmtli PflrnHna?flonrcro town, Spartanburg, Florence and Rock Hill. It is always easy to get such bills through the senate, hence the passage of the Georgetown bill by the senate does not assure that city of a public building:. The trouble comes in getting the matter through the house of representatives. Since the senate passed the Georgetown measure, that county has been placed in the congressional district with Florence. This may affect the proposition very much, for Congressman Scarborough would doubtless favor Florence, as the location of Georgetown gives that place such natural advantages that it will be comparatively easy to secure an apnroprlation later. Whereas it is now or never with Florence. It will be remembered that when Messrs. Wilson and Anderson visited Washington in the interest of a public building and the way seemed somewhat dark for Rock Hill, Congressman Finley proposed that the congressmen from the South Carolina districts concerned in securing public buildings ascertain from the committee the amount of money that is likely to be given this state for tnat purpose and then request that if only three of the four towns are to be favored, that the committee make an equitable distribution of the sum proposed and erect four buildings instead of three. This scheme of Mr. FInley's was accepted by Congressman Scarborough of the Florence and Georgetown district and Congressman Jonnson of the Spartanburg district. Their acceptance has since been withdrawn, however, since they are inclined to the belief that if the committee should agree to the erection of four buildings, it would give to each $100,000 as readily as $50,000?that it is not so much a question of money. Spartanburg has a hard worker in Congressman Johnson, and that city doubtless will be cared for. However. South Carolina is not asking for much, and the several congressmen seem to be united in their efforts to secure the passage of these four bills. CHESTER. Lantern, April 8: Corn is not as high as it was a short while after Christmas. It is retailed now for 85 cents per bushel, and finds a ready sale. It sold for 95 cents and $1 per bushel a while back Mr. G. E. Latimer went up to Philadelphia, near Yorkville, last Sabbath to see his mother. Mrs. T. A. McNinch had the misfortune of falling out of the back door of her nome, near Capers Chapel, one day last week and was considerably bruised up from the fall, but no bones were broken. It is a coincidence worthy of mention that on the same day last year, April 3rd, Mr. McNinch came very near being killed by a fall from a wagon Mr. J. I. Hardin went to Lancaster last night to see his brother-in-law. Engineer G. A. "Wall, who was badly hurt yesterday by falling from the top of a box car. He was trying to cut off some limbs that were too near the new broad gauge cars, when a limb to which he was holding broke and he fell with the axe head foremost to the ground. Some of his ribs were broken, and his head, neck and arms were badly hurt. It Is hoped that his injuries will not be fatal. The accident happened near Bascomville. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, April 8: Quite a number of Gastonians left yesterday morning on No. 39 for Charleston, where they will spend North Carolina week viewing the beauties of the exposition. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Smyre, Mrs. J. L. Neill, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lee Robinson, Mrs. R. H. Carroll and father, Mr. W. M. Proneberger, Mr. W. H. Jenkins and little son, Harry, Messrs.

Pressly, of Clover, arrived on the noon Narrow Gauge freight yesterday and went immediately to All Healing, accompanied by Dr. R. M. Reid, to hold a consultation in the case of Moffatt Kirkpatrick, the 15 year old son of Rev. A. G. Kirkpatrick. Three months ago young Kirkpatrick had a severe siege of pneumonia, from which he has never entirely recovered. At last reports he was in a very serious condition The transferring of freight from the Southern to the Narrow Gauge for the past few days has been, as Mr. Nolen put it to The Gazette man, "simply enormous." Everybody at the depot was busy yesterday afternoon and Mr. Nolen had time to give us only a few items between breaths. Thirty cars of coal. five cars of rails, ten cars of fertilizer, four hundred bales of cotton, besides whole stacks of miscellaneous articles. The Narrow Gauge is running an extra freight to carry the big traffic from this point. If the amount ol freight is any index to prosperity, the points along the C. & N.-W. surely have no room to complain of dull times, Gastonia News, April 8: A novel article of freight was a car load of bees side tracked here Friday afternoon, Bees were all over the car yet they seemed to be content and the man in charge seemed to know how to handle them. They were from Greenville, A'a., and were on their way to Washington, D. C Some one broke into J. T, SDencer's tool house Saturday night at Bowling Green Knitting mill which he is building, and stole quite a number ol valuable tools. There Is no clue to the guilty parties Manager Holland ol the oil mill says the mill has done about three-fourths as much work this year as last year. This is a good showing, as only about one-half as much corton was made in this section. He Is finding sale for about all the meal and hulls produced. Last year the farmers had not learned the value of the oil mill product LANCASTER.

"Be it remembered, however, that after over three years occupation of th* island, we turn it over to the Cubans ir a better condition than it ever has beer in the centuries of Spanish rule. This has a direct bearing upon our own welfare. Cuba is so near to us that we car never be indifferent to misgovernmenl and disaster within its limits. Th* mere fact that our administration ir the islands has minimized the dangei from the dreadful scourge of yellow fever alike to Cuba and to ourselves, is sufficient to emphasize the communitj of interest between us. But there are other interests which bind us together ho'o nngltinn mabno If nopPQQfi TV thfl 1 her political relations with us shouk1 differ with her political relations with other powers. This fact has been formulated by us and accepted by the Cubans in the Piatt amendments. It follows as corollary that where the Cubans have thus assumed a position ol relationship to our political systerr they must similarly stand in a peculiai relationship to our economic system. "We have rightfully insisted upon Cuba adopting toward us an attitude differing politically from that she adopts toward any other power; and in return as a matter of right, we must give tc Cuba a different?that is a better?position economically in her relations with us than we give to' other powers. This is the course dictated by sound policy, by a wise and far-sighted view of out own interest and by the position we have taken during the past four years, We are a wealthy and powerful country. dealing with a much weaker one; and the contrast in wealth and strength makes it all the more our duty to deal with Cuba as we have already dealt with her, in a snirit of large generosity. "This exposition is rendered possible because of the period of industrial prosperity through which we are passing.

Longt_ street. It was the fortune of the wrl3. ter during this period to share the tenl of Gen. Jenkins and enjoy the opportunities for seeing him in every relatior of a soldier's life; to observe him calmly directing the movements of a Urn of battle, bearing, as It were, a charmy ed life among the flying balls, to witness him morning and night kneeling d on his blanket, returning thanks to ths Is Almighty and Invoking blessings or e his command, and to be familiar wltt t the kind communion which existed bee tween his humblest privates and himself. Few men have had fewer enee mies; no one m his position has hac 18 little to punish offenders against his '* discipline, and when the necessity has ,e been apparent a tender heart has evei r* gone out to the culprit and drawn tears n of penitence from his guilty nature s Child-like, which characterizes the or e dinary men of the world, careful anc )f polite in his conversation, pure as s woman in nis inuugms, atvumijiioim !r in his manners, frtLnk, confiding ant s> generous to a fault, he was in truth a ls Chevalier Bayard, "sans peur et san! n reproche." As an officer he was brave "" dashing, impetuous, yet prudent; had a quick military eye; knew the strong 2' points of a position at a glance; nevei ie ordered his men where he was not willh ing to lead and rarely If ever blunderv ed. He enjoyed the confidence of Gen n Longstreet to a marked degree; bj him was recommended for promotion t< ' the rank of major general. It ls understood he was on the eve of receiving ) the appointment. South Carolina hai 6 never had a nobler representative ol r her chivalry in the field and no dearei T memories can be enshrined in the mausoleum of the people's heart than thos? n which have hallowed with glorj the name of Brig.
