Rev. John T. McBryde, of Marshall,
Texas, who is now visiting his mother at
Pendleton, spent Tuesday in the city, and
was warmly greeted by many old friends.
Mr. McBryde is a native of Anderson
County, and during the war was one of
the brave soldiers of Orr's Regiment, the
reunion of which he attended yesterday at
Sandy Springs. In another column we
publish a short reminiscence from the
Abbeville Medium in reference to a little
incident that happened at Spottsylvania.
Mr. D. A. Skelton, who lives in Rock
Mills Township, is one of Anderson
County's best and most energetic young
farmers. Since he has been farming he
has never purchased a bushol of corn, a
sack of flour or a pound of meat; in fact,
has provisions to sell every year. There
are few farmers who can Bay this, Mr.
Skelton says it costs him twelve hundred
dollars to make one thousand dollars
worth of cotton. He has enough wheat
and corn on hand now to do him another
year. We wish Anderson County bad
several thousand such farmers as he.
Mr. R. 8. Hill has leased the two hand
some.and commodious storerooms in the
Masonic Temple and will move into them
about the 1st September, or as soon as
they are completed. One room will be de?
voted to groceries and plantation supplies,
and the other to dry goods, millinery,
etc. This fall and winter Mr. Hill will
carry a larger stock than over before, and
will be better prepared in his new quarters
to meet the demands of the trade. By
referenco to his new advertisement it will
be seen that he wants to get rid of his
present stock, and for the next few weeks
will offer rare bargains to his customers.
Pay him a visit at once, and don't forget
that after 1st September he will be in the
Masonic Temple.
The BIberton (Ga.) Star, of last week,
says: (,A prominent and wall-known
gentleman of Ulbert County asks us who
are the gentlemen named Earle and Whit
ner, of Andersonville, who took such a
prominent part in the recent Grady de?
monstration in that place. He says these
are the names of prominent old Carolina
'families, and he wishes to know if these
gentlemen are representatives of them."
The Star can inform the gentleman that
the gentlemen. alluded to are sons of
prominent old Carolinians. Maj. Whitner
is a son of Judge J. N. "Whitner, who, in his.
day, ranked among our ablest jurists.
Mr. Earle is a son of Mr. Elias Earle, who,
prior to the war, was one of the most in?
fluential and wealthiest citizens of the old
Palmetto State.
Rev. P. J. Vermillion has just-closed a
very interesting and successful ten-days'
meeting at Beaverdam Church, in Wil
liamston Township. Much interest was
manifested in the meeting, and a large
crowd attended the services. Mr. Ver
mUlion is a young man and has not yet
finished his studies in Furman Univer?
sity. He preaohes In a very plain; practi?
cal manner, and gives promise of being a
most valiant worker in the Master's Vine?
yard. During the night services of this
meeting there were many mean little acts
committed, such as cutting up harness
and whips, loosing horses, apd taking off
taps from the buggy wheels. The officers
of the Church have the names of the
young men who did this mischief, and
are seriously thinking of prosecuting
them. Young men who commit such acts
jnght to be punished.

Murray; Clerk, Rev. M. McGee; Assis?
tant Clerk, Dr. John A. Robinson.
Theee offloers have faithfully served the
Association in their respective offices for
ten years. The sessions were exceedingly
intereating, but ;ao business of very great
importance was transacted- The reports
of the various committees were encourag?
ing. During the meeting several able and
interesting sermons were preached. Be?
fore the Association adjournod there was
a sum of $1,500 subscribed by the dele?
gates present for the permanent endow?
ment of Furman University, and it was
agreed to make an effort to raise the
same amount from the Churches of the
Association. Large crowds attended each
day's session.
Base Ball.
The Greenville BaBe Ball Club came
over to Anderson last Thursday, and on
Friday played two games with the An?
derson Club.
The Greenville Team was composed of

C. Garraux ; 2nd baseman, Gus. Haynes ;
3rd baseman, Waiter Glazener; short

Mr. B. F. Whitmire, of Greenville, um?
pired the garne, and was one of the most
impartial umpires we have ever seen on
the field.
The morning game was called at about
11 o'clock, with tho Anderson team at the
bat. The game was very close and ex?
ceedingly interesting. Tho Anderson
team scored three runs in the first inuingj
but did not make another tally through?
out the game. The Greenville team
failed to score anything until the sixth
inning, when they made three runs, fol?
lowed by two more in the seventh inning.
This gavp the game to the visitors by a
spores of 5 to 3.
The afternoon game was oalled about 1
o'clock, and was witnessed by a much
larger crowd of spectators than the morn?
ing game. ? This, too, was a most beauti?
ful game, and some fine playing was done
on both sides. The Anderson team,
however, took the laurela this time, and
won the game by a score of 12 to P.
" The Greenville team was composed of a
very clever set of young men, and made a
very favorable impression upon our peo?
ple.
The Anderson team will go to Greenville
to play a game on Friday, S3rd inst. Ef?
forts are being made to get a special train
to and from Greenville, that day, and, if
successful, a large crowd will go over from
Anderson.

OUR TRIP TO PARA.
BY MKS. TOMMUB HALL LANJUEK.
Sunday morning, June 30, we found our?
selves anchored in the harbor of Para,
about a half mile from the city. The
Amazon does not appeur very broad there,
as there is a large island in the river.
The agent of our Company (the United
States and Brazil Mail Steamship Company)
had traveled with us from the Barbadoes;
and he kindly invited a good many of the
passengers to go ashore on the Company's
tug. The invitation was to start soon
after breakfast, about 9 o'clock, we
thought; but Brazilians are in no hurry;
and we really started about 10:30. We
landed at a very decent pavilion and pro?
ceeded to walk towards the largest Cathe?
dral. Our route lay along one of the prin?
cipal streets. We were surprised at the
cleanliness of the street; it was broad
enough, and well-paved, and just as good
as our Charleston streets.
The houses were one or two stories high,
with an occasional three-story building.
They were made of concrete. Some were
plastered on the outside; calsomined, and
colored bright blue, bright green, or a
delicate green, which was the prettiest ;
others had a layer of flat polished tiles on,
the outside. The tiles were white, with
colored arabesque designs, slightly raised.
At a distance, these houses looked as if
they were covered with gay wall-paper.
Some of our gentlemen called them calico
fronts.
The stores were all open, just as if it
were not Sunday; but we did not see
many customers. There were no window
displays. The doors and windows were
wide open. The goods inside looked quite
natural, except in the shoe stores. Once,
while waiting for a car, we outered one.
Slippers like those at home in the museum
are worn by the peasants in the country.
Those for city wear are mostly slippers
with high heels, open at the back, and
with only a small pointed front, in which
to squeeze the toes. There' were some high
shoes; but all had high heels and sharp
toes.
We arrived at the Cathedral just at elev?
en, and expected to have the opportunity
of seeing the service; but the door was
shut fast. On inquiring as to what we had
best do, we were advised to go to the races,
which were just about to begin. We de?
cided to see what we could from the
street cars. They are open cars, like ours,
and are pulled by two small mules, which
keep up a constant trot. There is a driver,
and a conductor. The conductor was kept
busy changing our money, and counting
us. A dozen of us kept together, and we
were fortunate in having Miss Agnese, a
native Brazilian, with us. We paid our
fare of 120 reis (pronounced rays) apiece.
In a few minutes, the conductor came
back tor another 120 reis, as we had rid?
den beyond a certain limit. We passed from
the business to the residence portion, out
to the country, and back. The houses are
right on the street, and close together.
Upstairs is a narrow iron balcony. The
window-shade hangs over this balcony.
The window opens ljke a. dpor.1 The hous?
es grew smaller and meaner; and, after a
while, we saw the real mud and stick hut
with thatched roof; and generally around
it was a jungle of wild orange, banana,
cocoa nut, bread-fruit, &c. But none of
them showed signs of any care.
We viajted a Phurcb, and were kindly
admitted by the colored sexton. He took
us through the vestry-room, where we
caught glimpses of the priestly robes of
lace, satin and silk. The main room was
was well lighted, and had a high arched
ceiling, but different from the Gothic. The
main altar was quite gay with artificial
flowers. All around the church were
Ehrines to different saints, and, of course,
a prominent one to the Virgin. A few
phVn benches, without backs, down the
middle of the church, were the only accom?
modation for the congregation. There was
plenty of space unoccupied.
From the main rooni we were ponducted
to a side room which horrified us. The
walls were filled with waxen images of ail
parts of the body, with horrible eruptions,
obtuslonB, and all sorts of deformities.
Through our interpreter, we learned that
the Blck, say, with a soro foot, will get tho
priest to pray for his recovery, and will
promise to give an image of his diseased
part to the church as a memento. I sup?
pose we must have been at the Church of
All Healing, or Faith Healing. The offer?
ings were horrible ; and yet we had curios?
ity enough to look at them. There were
arms in splints, all parts of the body with
sores and bolls, cancers, faces with small
pox, dec. Some of the offerings we did not
fully understand. There were dozens of
braids or curls of hair, hows pf ribbon, and
several bridal wreaths, and one veil.
These latter, I suppose, were proof of an?
swers to prayer for husbands. Several
images and models of ships, no doubt,
witnessed escape from a storm' These
reminded me of something I read in Horace
about the mariner during a storm praying
to his saint for delivery, and going home
and hanging something over his shrine in
the church.
We turned from this room to another,
which was tho most enjoyable th ing we
saw. It was a representation of the adora?
tion of the wise men, and followed or agreed
with Ben Hur exactly. In a stone cave
lay the infant Saviour. Mary, on her
knees, seems enraptured. Joseph stands
behind her, and keeps the ass and cattle in
the background. Just above the infant,
through an opening, we catch a glimpse of
heaven, and see angels singing. One wise
man, the Mongolian, with his golden crown
on the ground, is offering a golden urn.
The Hegi'o stands with a silver incense ves?
sel, and the Caucasian with a gold vase.
Behind them are their camels and atten?
dants ; and away beyond are the shepherds
on the plains, looking at the brightness af
heaven ; and above all is the silvery star.
The whole takes up a space of about twelve
by twenty-live feet; and the paintings back
and above make it seem larger. It was
sweet and elevating to study it; and we
came out feeling quiet aud better, and with
some respect and gratitude to Eome.
Another street-car rjde ahpwcd nothing
specially npw. Wc stopped at a hotel for
lunch?our first entrance to a Brazilian
house. On our table we found the earthen
water-jug. Lunch of coffee or tea, eggs,
bread, and butter cost tiOO reis. Doesn't
that sound expensive? Divide by 20, and
you, have the number of cpntn.
We went into the parlor, rested,- and
then had a sweet service of song, using a
good upright piano. "Nearer, my God, to
thee," has grown to be our favorite. It is
hard to keep up the voice, and hold back
tears, as we say "though like a wanderer."
As Misa Watts said iu a letter welcoming
the young ladies to Brazil, "it requires a
good deal besides the money to go as a
missionary."
The floor of the parlor was of thick plank,
rather rough, and at least a foot and a half
wide. The heads of the n.-iils were as large
as a three-cent piece. Around the room
was a border of dark wood. A mirror was
qpposite the door. Under it was a sofa ;
and leading to the sofa were two rows of
chairs placed facing each other. I am told I
that all the parlors have tho sofa and the
avenue of phairs leading to it. Quitea stiff |
arrangement
All the fine peoplo of town were at the
races. We saw only the common Brazil?
ians, the negroes, and the mixed negro and
Indian. Thege looked like Chinese. The
ladies seemed all to wear dressing imcques.
The best negro women walked the streets
with their toes stuck in high-heeled slip?
pers, no stockings, dark skirts, white dress?
ing sacquus, and bare heads, with hair
standing straight out. Others wore only
a skirt und chemise. Some brul on a little
low-necked and short-sleeved sacque, put

the waist. Children of Laura's age walked
the streets in native simplicity. Boys like
Ernest and larger wore only linen pants.
The stevedores wore only pants.
The people all seemed lazy and stajncl.
The only laugh we saw during the whole
day wbs when wc returned to our landing
place. Several common looking men were
lounging about; and when Mr. Harwell
[ walked up, one of them slipped np behind
him, stood on tiptoe, and held both hands
up. With all his stretching, he could not
get so high ; and there was a general and
continued laugh. One who knew a little
English said, "pick grapes, no ladder."
The men are all of low stature, a nd Mr.
Harwell attracts considerable attention.
Oar boat was dne at 3, but was nowhere
visible. We watched the loungers. At
home, I think, we would have said they
were Italians. They had on rough slip?
pers, without backs, and when resting
dropped them, and were barefoot. In
walking, all the weight is on the toes. I
noticed that their feet seemed almost
deformed, they were so broad in front.
Time seems of no consequence. We
waited for our boat until 4:30, and then
hired a row-boat for a milries (pronounced
meelray) apiece, bade good-bye to Para, and
rowed to the Allianca.
