E ALSTON WILKES, Southern Christian Advocate. Ah, those days in Anderson, how quick ley tlioy passed away. Of the days of my piJgriauige iii'?ue have been more pleasant than those days spent in tliat grand old town dunug our late Anuual Conference. Tue greeting and kind words of the family who entertained me, the smiles and loving luu:d shr'? e* of stalwart itinerantsj the speeches; the sermons, lh>- Bishop's godly be i:ivior, will live in memory, which delight* lo exert itseli in bri. ging to mind ihe pieaaant incidents. And again I am employed in "Conference Reflections. Had he who wants a Conference to pay for its lunch and lodging been there in Anderson, the spectacle of such Chris? tian hospitality would surely have per? suaded him to cease advocating a plan which deprives a religious people from exorcising one of tne most pleasant of Christian duties : that of hospitality. Such a welcome, bright eyes, cheerful fire*, "howdy-dos" and "how have you bet'ii?" I have never seen excelled. Thank;the Lord for the grace of hospi? tality. The truth was apparent. An? derson bore on its face and in faces prinia facie evidence that it was a reli? gious town. I saw it, I felt it, I know it must be true. The influence of the godly prevail there; the devil and his adherents are iu the miniorityin power and numbers. Former dudes and the feminine gender of that thing now attend prayer meetings and Sunday Schools. The ball-room is deserted. A lady-elect told me out of a large num? ber of racket dancers and swallow-tail waiters possibly three or four remain. They have all joined the Church and are walking in the Spirit except the few, who will have to shuffle the jig and the german alone unless they migrate to more congenial realms. Although the bar-rooms were opened I failed to see a man stagger on the streets, or any evi? dence whatever of drinking and drunk? enness. Everybody walked i-traight and looked ahead us though ' '? had something iu view ?hat was worm view? ing. The Town Council believes in doing things open and above board. I noticed no screens before tho marble slabs where pop-skull and other liquors are sold. It must take the cheek of the old scratch to go in there in the blaze of day and drink the filthy stuff. Iniquity delights in screens. It is a great blow to bar-keepers to abolish them. It hurts the trade amazingly. No mau of decent parents will desire to drink in public for fear of being seen by the godly and re? ceiving deserved condemnation The liquor trade was quiet. The blackslid den countryman iu jeans might slip round to the back dcor and get bis flask filled, and at night, when "evils are most tree," the gambler, the old sot and rue balance of that ball-room crowd might enter boldly, but during tbe day the bar-room business was dull in An? derson. Thursday was a day of dust, free ride and thanksgiving dinners. Thousand dollar teams in glistening harness pulled up and down, here and there and all around beautiful, busy Anderson, pbte tons full of Methodist preachers. I dined by invitation with Colonel John Patrick, and such a dinner it was?can be better eaten than described. The c-donel taught me years ago how to par cor? rectly and to act honorably, and 1 love him f jr it all. It is a military institute he is running now, and everybody about there moves about, faces about and carries "arms" according to strict military rule. When dinner was announced, the Cadets?a fine body?marched to tbe "hep" and took their places orderly at.the table. Then the onslaught began. I imagined they were more skilled with their knives and forks than their sabres. In the afternoon many of us witnessed a dress parade. The boys marched admirably and looked brave. Would you believe that Brother Clifton notices the fighting marks in a man ? Well, he does. Said he, as a company passed him : "There is some good fighting in those fellows. Look how wide they are between the ears." At this, when our brother wa3 stirring up hia war instincts, I looked, somewhat nervously, about for Brother Browne, but the editor of the Neighbor was nowhere to be seen. The man of peace may be wide between' the ears, but he is not in sympathy with any war movement. It takes some service under grace before traces of youthful longings and disposi? tions can be obliterated. Brother Clif? ton stole from home at the early age of 15 to fight and bleed, if necessary, for his country. An old Boldier of the Sixth South Carolina Regimenthas entertained me by telling how Brother Clifton "lout" a fat man twice his age over a mess of pottage. The big man wanted more than his share and that called firth all the Irish in tbe young soldier. That was "jess during the wah," and it is not surprising that he has a turn in marking and illustrating tbe fighting qualities in a man by the position and cut of the ear. May the Lord bless abundantly the good people of Anderson Every preacher had the best hon?, to hear him tell it, while there. ! was thrown with a congeuial companion aud the precious hours we spent together in the Cbristion home of Rev. H. ? Fant will never be forgotten. Of th:- sweet recollections'of the Conference An? derson, the social featurea, and above that the religious features and impres? sions, they will never grow old. They are treasured in memory, and there they will sparkle in the background cl life's daily duties. The latter will br more cheerfully undertaken, and are greatly enhanced now, since in the midst stands the picture upon which the mind lovingly lingers. _ I Am Not Mad. While Douglass Jerrold, the author, was ill, he was sent a copy of Browning. He read awhile, then handed the book to his wife and asked her to read. She did so and admitted that it was equally in? comprehensible to her. "Thank Heaven," said Jerrold, "I then am not mad " This was rough on Browning, but we of this section would have found Jerrold ut fault, though knowing of the many medicinal virtues of the tree, be should at the crit? ical time fail to have a bottle of Dr. Westmoreland's Calisnya Tunic at his side. All wives should ,-ee that this won? derful remedy is in their homes always.

DEN OP THE OUTLAWS, The Hi.ling Place at tue Missouri Bandits Discovered In Minnesota. St. Paul, Min?.;, Dec. 19.?When tbe Missouri ouIIhws came to Minnesota for their great series of daring robberies in 1S7G they lived for a considerable pe? riod in an inscrutable hiding-place out among the hills of the valley of the Min? nesota river, to which they would slip away from the officers of the law in their forays for horses and food. Where they went nobody was able to discover, and up to yesterday their subterranean retreat had not been fouud Shortly after noon yesterday a party of hunters set our. from LeSueuer, and when in Lake Prarie Township, Nicollect County, ran across the cavern home of the "banditti in a most remarkable manner. While walking along the Barney Fay ravine John Tindali stumbled ou a bowlder, fell and rolled duwu a declivity thirty feet to the bed of Indian Creek, a email stream running into tbe Minnesota river. In attempting to scramble back up the bank, lie discovered an old weather-beaten door, which was held to its place by a couple of pieces of leather. The door Mood partly ajar and opened into an apartment as dark as midnight, and as mysterious as it was dark. The young man shouted to his companions, who promptly responded, and after care? ful surveying the exterior of the mysit rious premises, a lantern w?*Hynt f?sr and a thorough exploration of the interior was commenced. The first apartment entered was a com? mon dug out, only about eight feet square, aud bad seemingly been used as a sort of ante-room, with earthen floor and walls, but on tbe back end or side a Bpace of about six feet was covered Irom the ceiling to the ground floor with hewed logs stood on ends and close together. In these were numerous nails, driven apparently for the purpose of hanging clothing. A careful examina? tion, however, revealed the fact that these logs formed a "blind" door which led into a room 20 feet long and 16 feet wide, along one side of which bunks were arranged something after the fash? ion of berth on a steamboat, and from the number of these at least thirty per? sons had found Bleeping accommodations in this secluded and mysterious place of abode. This room contained several benches and stools, an old table, tin plates and cups, kettles, a No. 9 cook stove, and va? rious cookiug utensils. In one corner stood an old box on end, which had evi? dently served as a cupboard, near which was found a rough box which had been used as a flour chest. This box was par? titioned off and one eod contained some thirty or forty pounds of buckwheat flour. Several old, faded decks of play? ing cards, a few old newspapers, and a ?badly dilapidated copy of "Kit Carson" were found scattered about on the rude Blab floor. One of the hunters began running over tbe leaves of tbe book and out of it fell a letter from Frank James to Jamea Younger in reference to the stealing of bo me horses. " The letter aroused tbe curiosity of the visitors, and the task of taking up the slab floor was soon completed, but no new discoveries were made until the old box which acted the part of a cup board was pulled down. Behind it was another opening or door leading into another apartment, where horses bad been se? creted, tbe room or artificial cave being amply large to accommodate twenty at a time. Eighteen hitching-posts were driven some three feet apart, and each poBt supplied with a square box for feed? ing. Old curry-combs and brushes were also promiscuously scattered about, which indicated that the stolen animals, for such they no doubt were, were well cared for. On one of tbe hitching posts an old, worn out vest was found, in one pocket of which was 75 cents in the old fashion? ed 25-cent paper money, and a part of an envelope, which bore the address "J. S. Rivers," but the postoffice was torn off. In rummaging about a skull and other bones belonging to a human being were fouud under a pile of partly decayed cornstalks. It will be remembered that Cole Younger carried a wounded man across his nurse in front of him from the streets of Northfield the day of the fight and the brdy is evidently that of this member of the gang of outlaws. The place is as impregnable as Gibral? tar, and twenty men, with plenty of food and ammunition, could hold it against a regiment for a month. The strangest feature about the matter is what has become of the hundreds of carloads of dirt which must have necessarily been taken out in order to give the room which is found there. The only possible way to get to it with a horse is to follow the creek bed from its bead, some five miles West, at the edge of the prairie, and then there are places which would seem absolutely impassable to animals. To reach the cave with any kind of a vehicle would be utterly impossible. The only theory advanced as to what became of the dirt which was taken out in making this rendezvous which sounds at all plausible is that the place was built by a band of horse thieves under the notorious Con way in the early 70's; that several years were consumed in dig? ging, and that the loose earth was dumped into the Indian Creek, which in early days was quite a stream, and car? ried down the steep decline by the water. Members of this gang of thieves evidently joined the Younger-James out-laws in 1S76 and piloted them to this grewsome earthen rendezvous, as they could never have found it without assistance. The Missouri outlaws fled Southward from the cave the next day after the fight at Northfield, in which six men wero killed, and Cole, Jim and Bob Younger were captured in Blue Earth County, tried and sentenced to State prison for life.? Chicago Times. Practical Results iu Aikcn. Mr. H. B. Burckhalter, who farms on the Levels, near the city, has given us the result of his farming operations dur? ing the past year. His figures are very interesting, for they show that he has been quite successful, and that it docs pay to farm, especially around Aiken. He informs us that with 6ix ploughs, cultivating 220 acres, be made 180 bales of cotton, averaging 475 pounds, (an average of 30 bales to the plough,) 1,400 bushels of corn, 0,000 pounds of fodder, 200 bushels of peas, 4,500 bushels of cot? ton seed and 200 bushels of potatoes. In addition to the above he cut twenty tons of hay, harvested 1,200 bushels of oats, and from a two acre patch of melons sold $125 worth. To show what this crop is worth in dollars, Mr. Buckhaltor submits the fol? lowing calculation: 180 bales aggregating 85,500 lbs at t> cents.* 7,G95 00 1,400 bushels corn at 73 cents. 1,050 00 G,000 lbs fodder at $1 per cwt.

Ha manures freely?put? ting about 300 pounds compost to tbe acre under his cotton?works his crops well and attends closely to his business. While he ha3 given us no figures show? ing tho expense of making this crop, we fee! sure there is a good profit in it for him. Fifteen bales to the plough has here? tofore been considered a good crop, but Mr. Burckhalter has averaged thirty without any extra effort, besides making good crops of corn, peas and oats. Mr. Burckhalter is one of our most successful farmers. His farm lies in the eastern suburbs of the city, and is in a high state of cultivation. He came out of the war a poor man, and went to farm? ing, and by hard work and close applica? tion to business, has managed to accumu? late a good property. He has recently erected a handsome and commodious nsidence ou his farm, which is an orna p^ent to that part of the city.?Ai&CHi Jmtnat and JRevfov, Hard Times, On every side the Recorder hears the cry?"hard times." It is not the plaint of the man who don't want to pay his bill, either; it is the cry of those in great distress. There is no remedy for this that lajB within the power of our people, but they can alleviate the suffering by each patiently bearing his burden and being SB easily as possible to those who are debtors. It is the duty?and should be the pleasure?of every man to pay every dol? lar of his indebtedness that he can. We should also live closely, and economize in everything possible. Buy as little on credit as can be made to do. Hoard no money that you lawfully owe. The capitalists talk of "confidence" when their safes are full of gold and greenbacks. Many of tbem refuse to pay their bills, because of hard times They want the masses to have confidence in them and their schemes, but not a nickle will they loan except at ruinous rates of interest, double iron-clad mortgages, and tiebled security. "Confidence," indeed I It is they who lack the confidence. And in the meantime, what is our na? tional Congress doing? Trying to pass a bill to put our section of the country in? to a race war, that the political party in control may profit thereby. Where are the boasted statesmen of the country who should rise above patty at ibe cry of the people, and restore prosperity? All turned politicians, every mother's son of tbem. They are sitting in soft cushioned chairs and saying it will soon be over, while the hard working farmer cannot sell or get a cent advanced on his cotton.
