"L. S. Harper's colored school at 'Mt.
Sinai is doing well. We spent three
hours there last week,;and we mastisqy
that it is rather ahead of any-?f the col?
ored schools visited go far. The teacher
appears to.be {rying.tofdo.' hia/du^^anfl
is well spoken of by the 'neighbors and
the^Tfastees. < :r
The Bahamah School is under the
care of l^^^^Kgnee^ihi^ekr, bot
she has poor facilities for doing good
work. The house'Is uncom for table, and
no .teacher can do good,:efficient' work,
with a string of boys and girls ranged in
a semi-circle around an open-mouthed
fire place that devours fuel like an insa?
tiable monster, with tbe wind whistling
in at a door that will not stay shot for
want of a fastening, and around and
through the window shutters, and pupils
jumpiog\upvevery fewKminutes to. roast
their shins. .From what we saw, we
think Miss Nance's qualifications, are
good, and experience will; teach' her
many^ things that'Can be* learned in no
other way.v<
;tThe school atIyy:jjpl.lpw.is..in,good.
hands, as we plainlyiiaV from buir.first'
entrance into' the Bchool room. We
think the patrons have been fortunate in
securing the services of Miss Sallie Gross,
a Georgia lady with lots of South Caro
Una blood in her ye in). There is an
atmosphere of quiet, Belfpossession aboot
the teacher that seems'to have a con?
trolling influence overier pupils^! She.
impressed usas thoroughly conscientious
in her work, and as having a love for it.
The people there think of ? moving! the
school house to the'Church near by, and
thus draw a larger support, and after
looking over the ground, we are satisfied
that it would be a wise movo. They
seem to know a good thing down there,
and propose to hold on to it by . keeping
Miss'Goss for .eight or ten months.
All the older teachers know Miss Bet
tie Earle, for she has-been -'full of:good
works" in the school rooms of the County
for some year& rWe are glad -to say that
she is still engaged in the work, and is
located at Antioch. We found her up
to her eyes in work, and after spending
the remainder of the afternoon with her,
we repaired to the hospitable home of
her father*' Mr. E.*&Earle;:.at ETergreen,
Where we sperit^ an^exceedingly plefuiant
mglb^-The^aet; thBtr-Misa'Bettie-has
been teaching around in that'neighbor?
hood at different points for eome years,
speaks well as to the esteem in which
she is held. Evergreen has been noted
in the annals of this County for a long?
time, and over a half century ago there
was a printing office there in which a
paper called the Morning Waich was pub?
lished, and "mine host" showed us a
book printed there bearing the imprint
of 1888. .. ? .. /
. We made mention some time,ago of
the colpred teachers who-were.-doing
good work and gave them credit'and
honor for it. But there are some who
are not doing their dnty as they should.
Somaofltir^.^olored patrorisv themselves
have iodged -complaints at -this office
because their teachers do not put in fall
time. And last week after spending the
forenoon until 10 o'clock with a white
school, we drove to a neighboring col
ored school and the teacher had not
even opened school. We say ? to all
those colored teachers, once for all, that
they must put in full time, and the first
case reported to this office, with proof to
convict, ''trill have the license revoked.
Moreover, some of the colored teachers
complain that their pupils are habitu?
ally late. We Bay to these people in all
candor and sincerity, that we want them
to have schools, bnt if they do not mani?
fest their interest in the matter by a
prompt and regular: attendance upon
them, their schools" will be closed up.
Pupils must not be on the road at 10
o'clock and back again at 2 p. m. The
public money must not be frittered away.
Those who are engaged in any calling
in life should "magnify their office," and
especially is this true of teachers. They
are engaged in one of the noblest.callings
in life?a calling more fraught with
important interests than any, other, save
only, that of the ministry. Whatever
estimate they put upon their calling and
their work, is just about the estimate
that other people will put upon it.* If
they think and act as though they were to
be tolerated simply', rather than respect?
ed and sought after, why it will be just
about that way.. The teacher thiuid
make himself .and his work a power in
the community to lift up, to elevate and
refine, and to educate not only the pupils
under bis immediate care, but through
them tbe people in tbe community. He
and his work should be a fountain of
blessing to every one within the radius
of his influence, and he should be a
drawing power to which all things in tbe
community should tend, as the cenetrip
etal force seeks tbe centre. To this end
he should be active, industrious, ener?
getic, in fact the Hvest man in the com?
munity. Time was when it was thought
that a lazy man was fit for nothing else
but a school teacher, 'but that idea has
long since been exploded, and there is
now no place, in the educational ranks,
for a lazy man or woman. There is no
place for drones, and they are driven out
of the hive &t> soon as their true character
is discovered. That teacher is to be pit?
ied who knows nothing but to walk into
;a school and sit down and hear recita?
tions, and sooner or later he will be left
far behind in tbe race. That is not
school teaching, but simply and only
school keeping, and it will not be long
until be will, not only, not keep school,
but the school will not keep him. Hence,
we leave off as we began, "magnify your
office." Drive things, don't let them
drive you. Keep in front.

THAT AWFUL NIGHT
When the Arp Family got a Move on 'Em,
Atlanta Constitution.
I was in my room answering' a batch
of letters. The. mother and children
were in'Ber room and the door was open,
and about nineji- heard one-say: "Now,
mamma,'* please tell us a story?we
[:have gotten our lessons?please, mamma,
'tell us about something away back when
you were a girl, or something. About the
war'"' ?'- '
"Well, don't turn that chair over?sit
up straight?you will break, a rocker off I
if you don't mind. That is my war chair J
and Ir want^ to keep it as loDg as I live.
l^e^r^e'OrnVny^a cbrl?jn .Uiat chair
,and I've^seen, sorrow and sadnes3 in it,
too. If the old arm chair of a mother or
a grandmother} could 'speak "what a-life
history: it could tell." "i-j ??
"But, mamma, we don't'want any sor?
row or sadness now nor.anything about
chairs. Please tell us something about
when you run from the yankees won't
you?" ....... v ?
"Oh, you worry me. You know tnat I
don't love to talk about the war nor .the
yankees. I wish that I could forget all
about both. It seems to me now, that I
lived twenty years in those four ? years 6f-j
the war. But let me tell you about that
chair and why ! call it'rijy'war chair.
It is the only chair that we saved from
the wreck-^pne cbalrland 'one bedstead.
We found them at-:ar neighbor'* house,
when we came back to Borne. The yan?
kees carried off everything else, carpets,
bureaus* bedsteads, bedding, tables, china,
"picWes,-and-^I don't know what all.
The house was full of nice things, the
kitchen' wasijfull and:'the smoke house
and the cabin where the boys slept. I
had a beautiful' work's tan d- that cost thirty I
dollars and a telegraph operator shipped I
that to his h'Ome. in Indiana, and long
after the .war,he" wrote pa a letter and said
he had itand. felt bad about it and would
return it or buy it just as we said. So
your.pa wrote him a very beautiful letter
and asked him to ship it back to us by
express, for it was a birthday present; but
we never heard from hint again. He
dident feel as bad as he thought he did.
He was written to again, but he played
possum and made out like.he. was dead.
Ho had better not die if he knows - what
is good..for him. Those.yankees got
lets'-of nice things from us, and they
lived high off our smokehouse and p an try.
There were .thirty nice large hams bang?
ing away up on the top, and there were
shoulders' an'd midlings and sides and
two large cans of leaf lard and a barrel of j
soap." v t *- ? * '
??"Why, what made you leave all.those,
things?couldn't you have taken them
along in a .wagon^,''. ..
"Why^, childre^ we had no wagon and
no time; we didn't know we had to go
uutil midnight. The. town and the su?
burbs was-full of our Eoldiera, enough to
whip the whole, yankee nation. Why,
we had company to supper that night,
and'had strawberries and cream. We
haden't been-to bed- long before we were
told to get up, for Gen. Johnson was fall?
ing back and our troops were all leaving
Rome.and the .everlasting yankees were
com i og gigbi in. Just then they, began
to'throw' their singing, sizzing-shells over
the town to scare us and make us more
lively. ? They burs ted in the air and scar?
ed us almost to dealh. I never thought
about furniture or anything else, bat
getting, my. children^; out of. danger. I
haven't got over it yet. We got tangled
op'in the street among our soldiers and
the artillery wagons and couldn't move
for two hours. The shells kept coming
and by and by the up town bridge was
set on fire to keep the yankees back until
we all could get across the other river
and burn; that bridge. Ob, it was an aw?
ful night But we won't talk about that.
I had rather toll yon how glad I was to
get back home again after eight months
of exile. Eight long months .of running
around with half a dozen children who
were about half naked and always hungry.
Your pa was away holding court in
Macon and I had'just to bum'around
from place to place and impose on kin
and friends who were scared too. I tell
you I was happy when we got back to
our old home, desolate as it was. We
lived hard and rough for awhile until we
got our bale of Bheeting and that helped
us out wonderfully. We sold sheeting
for chairs and tables, and bedstead*, and
potatoes and sorghum."
"Where did you get it mamma."
"Well, just before old Sherman run us
away your pa managed to get a bale of |
yard wide sheeting and he hid it. in the
smokehouse. Confederate money had
got so bad that nobody wanted it. It
wouldn't buy anything hardly. Salt was
a great deal better thai money, and so
wax ?ugar.and tobacco, and shirting or
anything to make clothing out of. Shoes
were splendid currency. Your grandpa
had two calf skins, and he tanned them
with ashes and rubbed about-half the
hair off and got an old cobbler to make
shoes for my children, and you never saw
such things in your life, but they were a
good deal better than none. The night
we ran away that bale of Bheeting was
put in a wagon that belonged to a friend,
who was running away, too, and it was
left several miles away with a good wo?
man who set it up in the corner of her
room and put a vallance over it and a
looking glass on top like it was a dressing
table and bo the yankees diden't find it.
When we came home we had the bale
hauled in and went to trading on it and
we lived on it, for it was better than
greenbacks. But there was not' much to
buy in all that region?no corn, no flour
or cattle. Your pa went down in Ala?
bama and got ten bushels of corn and
kept it hid out in the country and had
only half a bushel ground at a time."
"What for, mamma. What was he
afraid of?"
" Why, the - robbers and deserters and
outlaws who were prowling all over the
country like buzzards after dead horses.
They robbed everybody who had any?
thing. One nignt they came in town and
robbed ofd man Quinn, and he made so
much fuss about it that Mr. Omberg ran
over there and tbe robbers shot him and
killed him for coming. They hung up
men by the neck to make them give up
their gold or their eil ver ware. One night
they hung up a little Dutchman, and as
ANDERSON, S. C, '
his toe; just touched the ground be
Bcreamed out, 'fSving away, sving away j
I tells you oottiogs, but I meets
you in hell all de same, and den I svingB
you oop."
"Did they kill him, mamma?"
"No, children, no They let him down
and gave him a drink and told him to go.
But the funniest thing you ever saw was
your pa's store. He and Bob Hargrove
had the biggest storehouso in town, and
they put twenty thousand dollars'
worth of gcods in it and went to
trading."
"WJxy, where did they get the goods,
mamma ?"
"Well, there was a man in jail in Sel?
ms, and he wrote to your pa to come
down and get him out and he would give'
him ten thousand dollars. So he went
and got him ont and got the money and j
paid half of it for a pound of opium and
the other half for four dozen cotton cards
on the leaf?that is they had no backB
nor handles. It was just "the wire stuck
in the leather, and he brought home the
whole stock in a little valise. Mr. Har?
grove put in a half box of tobacco and a
few;bunches of factory yarn fori his ten
thousand dollars and they went to'trad?
ing. You cauld have put the .whole
stock in a big wheelbarrow. They sold
the opium at five dollars an ounce in
gold-and-the cards at two hundred
dollars a: pair In confederate- money.
You see all the cards-in the country
were worn out and the women were in a
bad fix,' so they-would club together , and.
: bring in chickens and potatoes and'Sor?
ghum and old bacon and trade for a pair
of cards."
"Well, mamma what did you all .sleep
on when-yon first came ?"
! "Whyrwe Dorr^we/Ta' couple of. mat-'J
tresses and slept on "*the floor, and we
cookVed in a skillet.' .tfe.had so little 'to
cook that we got along very well. We
had oo : sugar .nor coffee nor -milk n?r;|
flour.' i Your pa heard of a cow somewhere.
and paid three tbonsand dollars for her
?confederate money was almost as plenty
as the leaves on the trees?everybody
had a pocketfull. Hundred dollar bills
were common, but they woulden't buy
any thing-' hardly except a drink of mean
whisky. Some of tho cavalry soldiers
used to give a hundred dollar bill for a
drink, so they said. Before ? the' money
goi so bad your grandpa sold his-farm
for fifty thousand dollars and moved to
away down country to. get out of trouble
and he invested his money in cotton, in
Columbus, and Wilson's raiders came
along acd burned it. Poor man. But
he was like Job. He never lost his in?
tegrity nor his cheerful disposition. I
never , heard him complain about any?
thing.
tell on, mamma.
"Well, you must know that Sherman
wanted'to make the people tired of war,
and so. he took away all their horseB
and mules and everything that they
hadn't hid away io tbe EwampB. The
men were most all in tbe army, and the
women and children did the best they
could, and bid some things' until the
yaukees went away. Sam Jones and a
few dare devils hung on their flanks and
stole horses and mules most every .night
and hid them away off in the swamps.
Sam was nothing but a boy of sixteen,
but they say that he stole over one hun?
dred and'gave* them all away to the poor
people who had lost.;their stock. You
see he got some old blue yankee clothes
and put them on and went about among
the guards who had charge of the extra
horses and he made out like he was a
yankee too and he generally carried with
him a deck of cards and got them drunk
and before morning he would have
several ot their horses and mules away
off in a swamp. He was just as full of]
mischief then as he is now, though his
mischief was of a different kind. He
was fighting the yankees; then'and he ia
fighting the old boy^now and. there
isent much difference after all.
"Why, you ought to. have Been our
smoke houses when we got home. They
had converted it into a bakery and had
the finest bread troughs y?? ever heard
of. They made them out of the Presby?
terian church pews and they built a
great long stable on Our lot of the
church lumber. Their hone troughs
were made of the pews, and the pulpit
was scattered around. 'We cleaned out
the smokehouse and dug up the dirt and
boiled it down and made salt of it.
Smokehouse dirt that has received the
drippings of Baited meat for years make
splendid table salt when it is boiled down
and clarified. We made right good
coffee out of dried sweet potatoes. I
used to make hats for my children out of j
old scraps of cassimere. Your pa built a
fence and a boat without a nail. He
bored holes in the plank and pinned
them on with wooden pins. The war'
made us all 'powerful ehifty/ as Cobe
Bays, and bo we got along pretty well.
The children all kept well and strong
until the war was over and doctors came
home from the army. And there was no
law suits nor courts until the lawyers
came back."
"You have to thank the yankees for
that much, don't you mamma ?"
"No ; I don't thank the yankees for
anything. They run me and my little
children all over this country like we
were dogs. Your pa makes out he has
forgiven them and is trying to. harmon?
ize and all that, but they never have
apologized to me yet or shown any
humanity and repentance."
Oh, my country. I'm afraid this
generation of war women will never be
harmonized. They know too much and
suffered too much. They mix and min?
gle right nicely with our northern friends
as long as the war is not mentioned, but
it won't do to discuss that for it makes
the fire fly and keeps them from being
calm and serene,

THURSDAY MORNI
Ah Eloquent Eulogy*
Rabbi Moses, a learned Jew of Louis?
ville, Ky., delivered an address to his
people on the life and character of Dr.
Jas. P. Boyce, which attracted a large
audience of Christians, including all the
prominent Baptist ministers in that city
and most of the professors from the
Theological Seminary. The eloquent
oration was unique in character, and
certainly does credit to the head and
heart of the gifted Rabbi, who was a warm
personal friend of Dr. Boyce. In order
{.that our readers may see for themselves
what a devout Jew has to say concerning
an eminent and consistent Christian, we
give the address as it appeared in the
Louisville Commercial on the 6th instant:
"What is the name of the-distinguish?
ed Israelite upon whom the Rabbi of one
of ? the -greatest' Congregations in the
Un1te?^t'6taies- fs' about to deliver a
eulogy, at the eye of the Sabbath ? To
what noble Jewish family does he trace
back his pedigree, or to whom in' this
congregation was he related ? To what
great synagogue did he belong, whose
departure from earth we lament, and
whose loss we mourn with countless mil?
lions in this and other lands ? He was a
Gentile" of the Gentiles, a Christian ofj
the'Christians; o'f the purest Anglo
American blood, with a long line of
Anglo-Saxon ancestors. The Rev. Di*
Boyce was a member of the Baptist
denomination ; a far-famed teacher of
? theology in general, and the Baptist belief
in particular. He was for a generation the
firmiiest pillar on which the Baptist:
church rested. Why do I come to praise
his life and exalt hia.name in this Israel
itish congregation ?. Because I have
loved and reverebce&himv-as one ? of the
purest and best-of mortals; because I
have known him to bea' righteous and
upright man, who walked humbly in'the
sight of^Qpd. As a'Jew and as a rabbi,
I rise- to .bear witness to the. greatness of
his. character,-the purity and beauty of
his life, and the sterling qualities that
distinguished him. He was not a Jew,
but of that race we call'the children of
God.' He was not related to us by blood,
but we were bound together by the holy
bonds of morality,
"The key and mainspring of Dr.
Boyce'3 life was his humanity. His was
a quick and strong sympathy with all
that is truly human, in every guise and
in whatever peoplo.it is found. He had
an immediate and profound fellow
feeling with the joys and sorrows of his fel?
low-beings ; he was miserable at the side
of misery and he laughed with those who
joyeoV' No matter whether in Jew or
Protestant, Methodist or Baptist, he de?
lighted in recognizing true worth. His
heart went out to those in whom he saw
the spark of truth and intellectual yearn?
ing. His heart was a golden vessel full
to the brim of the milk of human kind?
ness, and at a touch overflowed in all
directions:1 He was' charitable at all
times and -lavish with his money, and it
may be truly said df Boyce that his right
hand did not know what his left hand
gave away. This deep humanity and
sympathy made him, as nearly as a
mortal man can be, an absolutely just
man. From my knowledge of him, 18m
convinced that Dr. Boyce in his whole
life never did, consciously, a wrong to
any being. If he had believed that he
had wronged any one, he would have
traveled hundreds, thousands of miles to
do justice and on his knees ask pardon.
He was a perfect gentleman in the
highest, broadest sense; the ideal of
chivalry. He could not have been rude
to any one, even if he had tried, for his
ever wakeful sympathy would not permit
him to inflict pain.
"In that man's countenance, wit and
kindness were so blended that we could
not discern where kindness ceased and
wit began. Men who had conversed
with him left bis presence thinking more
highly of themselves' and feeling that
they were better men for having been
with him. That same force of sympathy
built.a noble, splendid character. What
Dr. Boyce wished to see in individuals
and communities was righteousness and
loving kindness, and he strove to make
these qualities incarnate in himself. His
character was to love what is beautiful,
what is good, in all that the nations of
the earth have brought forth in ancient
or modern times. Like the noblest of his
race, he wished to leave to the heritage
of mankind the wealth of his intellectu?
al attainments. Therefore, he accumu?
lated knowledge, and that not dead
matter, but.living forces. He stamped
it with the spirtual character of his mind.
He was a man who made knowledge use?
ful to himself and to mankind. To
him time was of infinitely more value
than money?it was moral growth, men?
tal acquisition and manly improvement.
He was one Of the most learned and
wisest men of the present generation, as
his books attest. He was, by nature, of
a vigorous, vivacious and profound mind;
clear cut, but not of much imagination.
His Abstract of Theology is a masterpiece.
Concede his premises, and yon are car?
ried by his logic irresistibly to his con?
clusions. He marshals his facts like a
general. In this, his last and greatest
work, the Old Testament and the New
Testament meet and blend under the
touch of his master mind,
"Think what, a man can make of him?
self. He was comparatively a young
man, not yet sixty-two years of age. He
was a good father, a fine scholar, a great
writer, a patriot and a soldier, and the
successful financier of a great institution.
Aside from all these, what could he not
have accomplished ? Had he turned his at?
tention to politics what a Senator ho would
have made! What a President! If be
had been thrown among savages he could

Many a time did it occur to me that such

seemed to see in him the genuine Israel?

I knew Christianity only in books, and
it was through such men as Boyce that
I learned to know it bb a living force.
In that man I learned not only to com

the Bpirtual power called Ch-istianity.
I differed from bis tenets, bat I learned
that the gulf that separates the old from
the new Israel is principally in' words*
At the core of each there is the same
divine love. The duty of all is to make
men more God-like?the Christian
Israelite in his way and the Jewish Israel?
ite in his way. Since I learned to know
men like Boyce, I know that his religion
cannot be anti-Israelite and can not be
opposed to those troths that we hold
most dear. God grant that Christianty
may long continue to produce such men
as he, for such men as Dr. Boyce

Sport in Dakota,
The only buffaloes that can be heard
of now in the Northwest are. corralled.
There is a.herd of eighty-four at Winne
peg, and it has just been sold to a Kansas
mail for $18,000. Fifty-six of- the ani?
mals are thoroughbreds. They have
been kept on aifarm owned by the war?
den of the penitentiary at Winnepeg,*
who got them from the brother of Dr. J.
0. Alloway, Territorial Veterinary Sur?
geon of Dakota. Recently some of these
buffaloes were bred to fine polled Angus
bulls. The result was a powerful steer
with a rich, warm hide and a handsome
mane. Their' hides? are clikely to- be.
more valuable than the robe.' Hqw: suc?
cessfully the interbreeding of buffaloes
with domesticated cattle can be -carried
on it is too early .to say. Buffalo skins
already tanned could be bought around
here for $6 each only a short time ago.
Now you cannot get a good one for less
than $80 or $35. These hides are be?
coming scarcer and scarcer every month.

One day a New Yorker came out. to Bee
him on business. . As his business was
important and his time valuable, .the
New Yorker followed the young noble?
man's trail. He found him lying beside
a dead horse,, with a huge bo wie knifein
his hand. "I can't talk about business
with you now," said the Marquis. "But
the matter demands immediate attention,"
urged - the tenderfoot. "Well, now, if
you insist on it, you may stay and talk to.
me, but I'll be frank enough to tell you
what you< may expect. What do you
Buppose I. am doing here?" "I can't
imagine." "Well, Fvb killed bears in all
styles but in a hand-to hand fight with a
knife. I have an ambition for a real
personal encounter. This is the best
place for bears I know of, and the horse
you see .was killed as a bait. I expect a
good, lively bear along at any minute.
If you care to wait I am sure you would
be interested, perhaps amused." The
Eastern man saw that the Marquis was in
earnest. "I guess I will go to your ranch
and wait for you," he said hurriedly.
''Of course, it would be a grand sight to
see you kill a bear with a knife, but I
must deny myself the pleasure. If I
stayed I might keep the bear away,, you

Uow to Introduce People.
"I do dislike to introduce people to

"Why, pray?."Tasked. "Itseems to
me a very simple thing."
"Well, when I have it to do, I stammer
and blush, and feel so awkward; I never
know who should be mentioned first, and
I wish myself out of the room."
"I think I can make it plain to you," I
said. "You invite Mabel Tompkins to
spend an afternoon with you. She has
never been at your home before, and your
mother has never met her. When you
enter the sitting-room, all yon have to do
is to say, 'Mother, this is my friend Ma?

be more elaborate, you may say to your j
Aunt Lucy, permit me to present Miss
Mabel Tompkins: Miss Tompkins, Mrs.

Mabel to your father, or the minister, or

her first. Fix it in your mind that
among persons of equal station the youn?
ger are introduced to the older, and that
in age, position or influence are presented
to superiors. Be very cordial, when in

The Clergyman and the Priest.
. New York Eerald.
Here are two very interesting questions
and well suited to a Sunday morning
like this:
"I was wandering aimlessly through
New York streets yesterday when an
incident occurred which set me think?
ing. First, I met two Catholic priests,
and almost immediately afterward a
Protestant clergyman. The priests Were
evidently well fed, well clothed and
well cared for generally. On the other
hand, the clergyman had a look of anxie?
ty which not only excited my sympathy,
but started?oy thinking .machine ago?
ing. ' - -? ' : . .
' "I asked myselffhese. two questions :
Are priests as a rule less^harassed than
clergymen 2 and, Wbyiaitiso; if it be
true?
"Will the Herald answer ?"
- Yes, your observation is correct. The
priesthood as a body show very much
less of the wear and tear of life than the
clergy. This is a notable fact. At fifty
the priest has none of those furrows ra
'diating.from the outer corner of the eye
known as crows' feet, his forehead has
few wrinkles and his general appearance
is that of a man well preserved and
likely to live to a green old age.
The clergyman, on the other hand,
shows by his face that he has had a
good deal of a struggle and that it has
told on his vitality. The lines which
indicate both hard work and great re?
sponsibility are growiqg ..deeper, and
his bearing is that of a' man who has
wrestled with circumstances, and. not
always with entire success or. satisfac?
tion..
Why .is this ? Well, the cause is' to
be found in the two systems. A priest
is well cared for physically. He is the
property of the church to which he has
dedicated his life. He has no anxieties
as to rent or food, and no family whose
present welfare or future prospects excite
his concern. He is simply and only a
Bpirtna! agent in the hands of ? great
organization. His home is assured, his
table is properly provided, his duties
are assigned, he is not called upon to look
out for the uncertainties of life, because
there are none, and when old age over?
takes him he has a roof over his head,
friendly hands to minister to his necessi?
ties and a place for his body when the
tired heart has worn out its stock of life.
Not so with the clergyman. He de?
pends on his own individual efforts and
on his natural gifts for his position and
income. He has a family to support, boys
who must receive an education and be
prepared for a business career, girls who
are to be carefully trained in the accom?
plishments as well as the practical duties
of life.
Moreover, in too many instances his
tenure of office and therefore of salary,
may be imperilled either by an act of
imprudence on his own part or a caprice
on the part of his congregation. A rash
sentiment, either in the pulpit or out of
it, or, worse than that; a strong expres?
sion of an honest'conviction concerning
any subject?theological, political or
moral?may give rise to an opposition
that will subject him to unendurable
harrassment, and lead at least to an im?
plied or direct notice to quit. His chief
business may be?and is said to be?to
please the Lord, but he frequently 'finds
himself in such a predicament that he
must choose between pleasing the Lord
and pleasing the people. If he pleases
the people he loses his self-respect, but
keeps his income; if he pleases the Lord
he may gain the satisfaction of martyr?
dom, but he loses his salary and endan?
gers the prospects if not the happiness of
his family.'
When he gets to be old he finds that
churches are in search df younger'men.
He has laid up nothing?how could he ?
The church to which he belongs
can't take care of him to any great
extent, and he sees only too vividly that
it is an unpardonable crime to be sixty
years of age. The only thing left' is to
become a book agent or an under secre?
tary in some religious organization, and
since he can't die he must wear out his
latter days as a supernumerary who is in
the way of everybody.
True, some denominations have a care
for their aged poor, their worn and tired
servants, but you can't get rid of the fact
that the Protestant clergyman who is
foolish enough to grow old finds that
Jordan is a rough road to travel.
The difference which our correspon?
dent has noted between the priest and
the clergyman is is difference in the two
religions systems. The priest never has
any care or anxiety?bo far as physical
wants are concerned. The clergyman
always has a great deal of both.
That, it seems to us, is a fair answer to
the two questions.
A Wonderful Well.
One of the most remarkable of the
wonderful things of whioh Pittsburg
boasts, is the combination well that has
been struck at the cracker factory of S.
S. Marvin & Co. It produces at one
and the same time cold water as sweet as
the dew that falls from heaven, salt water
as briny as old ocean's waves, and a flow
of gas that when ignited illuminates the
entire surroundings. The well was drilled
some time ago, Mr. Marvin's idea being
to get a supply of pure cold water for
use in his bakery in the summer and
during flood times, when the city water
is not desirable. At one hundred feet
the fresh water was struck, and at two
hundred, feet the salt water and gas were
found. Two casing3 were inserted, one
engine is started and the gas lighted,
for the salt water and gas, the other for
the fresh water; and now, when the
spectators behold the wonderful sight of
fresh water, salt water and fire all coming
cut of one well at the same time.

Romance of a Senator?
All opposition to the re-election of Mr.
Berry to the United States Senate, has
died ont and he will without donbt be
his own successor. There was talk of
Governor Hughes, but he never stood
any chance at all from the start against
Berry's popularity, which has made him
successively Representative, Judge, Gov-.
ernor and Senator. Berry's history reads
like a romance. He was born in Missis?
sippi, I think, and at the age of sixteen
enlisted in the Confederate army, an ig?
norant country boy, with neither educa?
tion nor'fortune or polish. He left a leg
at Shiloh,' and after the war settled at
Ozark,' Franklin County,' where he went
to school, working nights and morning
for his board. Afterwards he moved to
Carroll County, becoming a school teach?
er, and when he had saved money enough
he burnished a house and, writing to
Ozark, invited one of the loveliest and I
most accomplished belles in the placo to
come and share it. She was willing, but
her parents would not listen to such a
thing. Berry then Bhowed for the first
time that indomitable pluck that has
since overcome all obstacles. He closed
his school, crossed the mountain, and by
the aid of a friend and a ladder stole his
lady-love from-a second story window.
They were married and shortly afterwards
the young pedagogue was elected to the
Legislature, but the old man, whose
daughter he had won- after the style of
Middle Age chivalry could not forgive
him.
For years, however, Berry's wife and I
children were annual visitors at the
Ozark homestead, because he insisted on
it, though toe doors were closed to him.
He came out of the State Legislature a
lawyer, and a good one, too. When his
constituents elevated him to the Circuit
Judgeshiphis father in-law often referred
to him as "my son-in-law, Judge Berry,"
but never spoke to him. Tn 1882 the
"Great Northwest" brought Berry, out j
for Governor and he was nominated by
acclamation and elected by 40,000
majority. It must have been a broad and
happy day for the Judge when his wife's
father wrote to him: "My daughter was a
better judge of men than I. Forgive me, I
and, curing your administration, when
ever you want to slip away from the capi- I
tal to enjoy a brief respite from the cares
of State, I do not invite but beg you to
make my country house your home."
Mr. Berry is now near the close-of his
first term in the. United States Senate,
having been elected four years ago to filj
the unexpired term of Senator Garlandj
and, .the Attorney General excepted, is a
head and shoulders above any man in
Arkansas, both in point of intellect and
popularity.?Judge Ihompson in the St. J
Louis Republic. j
Marry & Gentleman.
A writer in Women at Work advises
girls, if they would be happy in married
life, to marry a gentleman. He thus
defines what he means by the term:
A true gentleman is generous and un?
selfish. He regards another's happiness
and welfare as well as his own. Ton
will see the trait running through all
his actions. A man who is a bear at
home among his sisters, and discourteous
to his mother, is just the man to avoid
when you come to the great question
which is to be answered yes or no. |
A man may be ever'so rustic in his
early surroundings, if he is a true gentle?
man he will not bring a blush to your
cheek in any society by his absurd be?
havior.
There is an instinctive politeness inhe?
rent in such a character, which every?
where commands respect, and makes its
owner pass for what he is?one of na?
ture's noblemen.
Do not despair, girls; there are such
men still in the world. You need not
all die old maids. But wait until the
princes pass by. . No harm in delay.
You will not be apt to'find him in the
ball-room, and I know he will never be
seen walking up from the liquor saloon.
Nor is he a champion billiard player.
He has not had time to become a
"champion," for he has had too much
honest, earnest work to do in the world.
I have always observed that the "cham?
pions" were seldom good for much else.
Be very wary in choosing, girls, when
so much is at stake. Do not mistake a
passing fancy for undying love. Marry?
ing in haste rarely ends well,
? The Rome Tribune tells at length
and with pardonable pride of tie success
attending the efforts of Mr. D. E. Shelton,
a young farmer of Floyd County, Ga.,
residing but a few miles from Rome. It
is worthly of publication, as an example
and incentive, outside of Georgia. Mr.
Shelton went from South Carolina to
Floyd County thirteen years -ago, when
but 17 years old, and started farming $2,
100 in debt, without experience and
without money. Two years ago he had
paid every dollar of his debt, and had
purchased and paid for 1,300 additional
acres of excellent land, all out of the
proceeds and profits of bis farm, and the
whole proceeds of this year's staple crop
stands to his credit in the bank. Mr.
Shelton has lived ont from the beginning
the plain old policy of making his pro?
visions at home, and raising his cotton
exclusively as a surplus crop. It has
required courage and endurance and
fidelity to maintain this policy, but the
result in Mr. Shelton's case has amply
justified the sacrifice. At the recent
exposition at Rome Mr. Shelton made
the finest single exhibit ever made by a
private farmer in the State. His six
months-old pigs took tho premium above
all competitors, and when he killed them
the other day, at 8 months and -11 days
old, they averaged 288 pounds net, break?
ing the Southern record of 8 months' pigs.
? According to the Atlanta Conititu
tion, an Alabama man charged with
stealing a calf, made the following
statement: "I was always teached to
be honest, an' most always have been,
but when I seed that calf I caved.
I never wanted a calf so bad in all my
life, an' you all know that when a man
wants a calf he wants him." The jury
returned the following verdict: "We,9
this jury, air satisfied that Steve stold the
calf,, but as the feller that owned the j
animal is considerable of a slouch, we
agree to clear Steve an male the slouch
pay tho costs." I
