"I KOW I AM RIGHT." General Master Workman Powderly's Lecture on Temperance. General Master Workman Powderly. in the Philadelphia Journal of United Labor publishes a temperance lecture addressed to the members of the Knhtlits of Labors. It is entitled "The Justice of My Position." and is a reply to unfavorable criticism made by certain of his correspoudents on lectures delivered by him recently in loston and Lynn, Mass. Mr. Powderily says: "I know I am right. I know tiat in re fusing to even touch a drop of strong drink I was and am right. In refusing to trcat another to that which I do not believe to be good for myself to drink I know that I am right. In not allowing a rumseller to gain admittance into the order of the Klnights of Labor I know that I an ri-ht. In ad vising our assemblies not to rent halls or meeting rooms over driuking places I know that I am right. I have done this from the day my voice was Iirst heard in the council halls of our order. My position on the question of temperance is right. I am de termined to maintain it, and will not alter it one jot or tittle. I know that in the or ganization of which 1 an the head there are many good wen who drink. but they would be better men if they did not drink. Ten years ago I was hissed because I ad vised men to let strong drink alone. They threatened to rotten egg me. I have con tinued to advise men to be temperate, and, though I have had no experience that would qualify me to render an opinion of the efficacy of a rotten egg as an ally of the rum drinker, yet I would prefer to haye my exterior decorated from summit to base with the rankest kind of rotten eggs rather than to allow one drop of liquid villainy to pass my lips. "Ten years ago the cause of temperance was not so respectable as it is to-day, be cause there were not so many respectable men and women advocating it. It has gained ground. I: is gaining ground. and all because men and women who believe in it could not be brow beaten or frizhtened. Take a list of the labor societies of America and the total sum paid into the treasuries from all sources from their organization to the present time will not exceed $5,000.000. The Knights of Labor is the largest and most influential of them all, and though so much has been said conecrning the vast amount of money that has beea collected from the members,. yet the total sum levied and collected for all purposes up to the present time will not exceed $800.000. Now letus turn to the other side. In New York alone it is estimated that not less than $25,000 a day are spent for drink. ,k75,000, 000 in a year. If I eared more for the praise and approbation of labor's enemies than I do for the interestjof labor I would remain silent, We are seeking to reform existing evils. We must first reform our selves." The Cotton Movement. From the New York Financial Chron ile's cotton article the following figures are gathered relative to the movement of the staple during the past week: The total receipts reached 3,59S bales, against 2,364 bales last week, 3,549 bales the previous week, and 4,032 bales three weeks since; making the total receipts since the 1st September, 1886, 5,190,412 bales, against 5,260,703 bales for the same period of 1885-6, showing a decrease since September 1, 1886, of 70,261 bales. The exports for the week reach a total of 13,675 bales, of which 10,787 were to Great Britain, 209 to France, and 2,681 to the rest of the continent. The total visible supply of cotton, as made up by cable and telegraph, for the week is as follows: Total of Great Britain stock 831,000 bales, total of continental stocks 384, 800-makig a total of European stocks of 1,215,800) bales. The total visible supply for the world is 1,808,325 bales; of this number 1,138,525 are American and 669,800 East Indian, etc. The imports into continental ports during the week were 55,000 bales. These figures indicate a decrease in the cotton in sight of 45,278 bales as com pared with the same date of 1886, and a decrease of 41,960 bales as compared with the corresponding date of 1885. The receipts at interior towns for the week have been 2,035 bales. Old inte rior stocks decreased 2,491 bales, and were 47,839 bales less than at the same period last year. The receipts from the plantations, being the actual movement, not includ ing the overland receipts nor Southern consumption, of cotton that reached the market through the outports for the week were 3,598 bales. The total re ceipts since the 1st of September are 5,184,284 bales. The actual movement from the plantations was only 3,598 bales, the balance being taken from the stocks at the interior towns. Cotton in sight June 24 was 6,312,076 being a decrease of cotton in sight as compared with last year of 116,822. The Chronicle says, in reviewing the speculation in futures during the week: "The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market has been feverish and unsettled in tone, with the course of prices somewhat erratic and irregular. The reduced stocks have caused some anxiety about contracts for this crop, and August options advanced 40 points from the recent figures-namely, from 10.66. to 11.06c., but there was no eon sidererable short interest to 'squeeze,' and prices gave way the moment buying ceased to be active. The very favorable reports from the growing crop prevented any material improvement in the more distant options, although it is generally admitted that the supplies will run probably quite low in the early fall months, especially in Europe." A VERY RSEMARKXABLE FEATUR.E of the annual report of the Pension Bureau is1 not that the volume of business was greater than ever before, but that there is an unexpended balance of the appro priations for salaries and current ex penses; which has been turned back into the national treasury. Heretofore the business of the Pension Bureau has been so deftly arranged that not a dollar of the ~appropriation ever found its way back to the place whence it was drawn. It is sufficient evidence of the generosity of the Government toward the soldiers of the Union that in the year just endea,, nearly a quarter of a .century after the - close of the war, there were altogether 176,879 clam for pensions considere- I and 55,194 original pensions were grant ed under the liberal laws now in force. It requires a force of nearly fifteen hun dfred people to transat this business, an average of nearly thirteen thousand let ters and documents being received and sent out every working day, and the amount paid for pensions now reaching the enormous annual total of seventy four millions of dollars. This sum ex ceeds either the annual civil expendi tures or the ordinary military and naval expenditures at the present time, as well as the total expenditures of the Unitedt States in any year previous to the civil War. The Sunday School Couvention of the Baltimore Conference of theM3. E. Chur-h, I South, organized at Winchester, Va., 2 Wednesday. One hundred and seventye delegates reported- Rev. Dr. .John S. Mar tin, Presiding Elder of the district, wel comed the convention: responden to by the Rev. Dr. S. K. Cox, of St. Paul's Church, I COME INTO CAMP! A Letter to the Farmers of the State from Colonel Duncan. By invitation the sumnmner meeting of the society will convene upon the grounds of the inter-State farmers' summer en caupment to be held at Spartanburg, S. C., the first week in August next. The society will hold its business meet ing on Wednesday, the 3d. Theregular programme of essays and scussions by the society will take place on Thursday, the 4th, this day being assigned by the arranging committee as ihe State Agri cultural and Mechanical Society Day. As you are aware, it has been our cus ton-, to have a representation of three delegates from each county. While we wisi to urge upon the members to see to it that each county sends a delegation at the same time we call your attention to the fact that this is a meeting of the society, and all members are entitled to be present, and we hope as many will attend as possible. This inter-State farmers' summer en canipment meeting has been so thor oughly advertised that it is unnecessary to say more than to urge as many as Sssible to be present. It will be the gest concourse of farmers proper that has ever assembled for the purpose for which this meeting is organized; it will be fraught with various matters of ma trial interest to all farmers, and it is eminently proper, ! not absolutely nee essary, that your society be fully repre sented, it being the only "simon pure" agricultural organization in the State that has for its object the discussion and development of purely agricultural sub jects, and of matters that apply to the farmer's every-day life. It is tru: we have the order of the Patrons of Husbandry, under whose auspices this farmers' inter-State en canipment is to be held. The Granges have their social and educational fea tures, which ca-,.y along with it its lady membership, and while we individually think it the best and most perfect or ganization in all its equipments the farm er has ever had, yt it has failed to keep its hold on the rank and file of our faimners. Then we have the farmers' movement organization, which has developed into an organization whose prime object is to look after and protect the farmers' po litical rights, to watch over and see that such legislation as is necessary for his interest be secured, and to take charge of all matters of a like character, which all will readily acknowledge to be pre eminently proper. But never before in the history of our agricultural interest ha. there been more need of a vitalizing curen-t than at this time. Farmers are day by day being aroused to the fact that they, too, must be progressive. This is the age of less acres and a greater prodtct from them. improvements in implements, in cultivation, in seeds, and in ati kinds of farm equipments; and whc re will the farmers looking for this vitalizing current if not in the State Ag ricultural and Mechanical Society? For Lhe past twenty years, since your reorganization after the war, your so ciety has been doing a good work, both iL tue discussion of agricultural subjects at our summer meetings, as well as by a general display of things appertaining to our calling at our annual State fairs, and it will be only natural, after all spas modic efforts are expended, for our farners to turn 40 your society to in quire what is the news from the agricul tural watch tower. Therefore we would again urge you to be present at the Spartanburg meeting. Let the members in each county hold a meeting on salks day in July, and if not more than a delegation of three can attend, let them decidie upon those and forward the name to Thomas W. Holloway, Pomaria, S. C. We have been in the habit of mak ing special rates of transportation for delegates to our summer meetings, but this is one at which there will be so large an at tendance outside ef the society that we are using our efl~rts to get unusually low rates for all, which will be announc ed at an early day.

T . l shocks of snowy and tl:-m-ronreC blooms and the new Japanese swi lings that look as if nature ih:.

Ile was a young person, who never by any ac dent polluted his person with any ar. ele manfactured in tis cuttry. l was turned out complete fromi top to tue in English goods. and his -ait on ti avenue filled beholders with the w!tA awe and delight, it so elos-ly copoi ti true thoroughbred stride. Tho import ant details oi dress had occupiel his walking hours so closciy that he had found but littlo time to unbend his mini over a book. and other matters even more important had escaped his atten tention, among them the flower show, which he happened not to havc heard of. "I've just come from sCeinr the chrvs anthemums," said the entimia-t:v young woman from Boston: "an'. it was such a treat. 1 never ca.ed anything so much in my life. Have you been yet?" "No," he drawled out loud, thinking to himself, "What the deuce is the giri talking about, anyhow?" After rapid but profound reasoning he came to i i: conclusion tihat being :a Boston woman and addicted to literature, the thing thwt she had been to was something paraiz ing of an intellectual nature, and prolm bly scientific. judging from the long anl unpronounceable name. So he re marked lightly that really he "didln go much into that sort of thing now-it was out of his line, too deep entirely for him." The Boston girl stared. "What do you mean, sir? Chrysanthemus too deep?" "Well, yon know." sai the hapl-sz youth, putting his foot dceper in his mouth every time he opened it. "that one has to do such an awful 1 ot of reading to keep up with these scientili. things, and for my part I never cnyiy them unless I am quite up on Ihe sub ject they're talking about." lie felt he was getting skillfully over a dillicult question and continued, with g7raceful self confidence. to add a few delicate and artistic touches to his position. -When I go to this sort of thing," he declared, -I get works on the suoject and read up thoroughly, so that I can follow the speaker with intelligeit in terest; but I'm too awfully busy just now to be able to do that. and so I cut the Nineteenth Century Club, and t.he Chrysanthemum, and "all the rest of it." Tile Boston girl gasped a few times and then said she supposed that lie really must work awfully hard, and it really was no cud of a pity he had had to give up his studies. But before she went back to Boston she told the story, and the young man has gone out in the country to star some time with his sis ter. The Boston girl says .she thinks New York men are "delicious, simply delicious."-. Y. World. In a Battle-Panorama Studio. The central platform is, of course, the standpoint from which visitors will view the panorama,-and therefore the artista are obliged to go to it frequently, as the painting nears completion, in order tc observe the effect and progress of their work. This, too, is the place of conference. and despite the signs of -'No Admit tance," within and withour, visitors are frequent, and usually welcome, These visitors are often veteran soldiers who t ok part tn the action represented, and who often make helpful suggestions. The army stories that are told on the central platform, would, if collected, make a prodigious volume. The floor of the platform is chalked and reehalk ed, some referring to the panorama it self, but miore to illustrate occurrences upon other fields. The strong pine rail surrounding the platform is pencilled all over with kindred decorations, while scraps of paper, upon which are memo randa of incidents, and a variety of data, as well as names and addresses, arc pinned to the convenient timber with thumb-tacks. The artist paints steadily, every indi vidual being mainly occupied in lperfect ing his own work, though never hesitat ing to ask or extend aid in some special direction. One artist, for instance, has an excellent figure of a mounted oflicer, all complete excepting the portrait, a photograph for which is pinned to the canvas. While this artist goes to strengthen a line of battle, another one will rapidly paint an admirable portrait for the incomplete figure. Soon, another brush is busy with the horse, while another artist calls for some spec ial saddle and bridle to be brought to the platform that he may paint the trap bw, look at the back of the photo graph which is pinned to the canvas a faded carte de visite of a youn g oni'er, upon a slip of paper we read the follow ing: "Col. K., now on General Sheri dan's staff, H 47" (meaning section H, square 47 of the panoramia); '-Freneh cap, blouse, captain's straps-stair dark-blue trousers, gold cord, cavairy boots, staft sword, 'IcClelian saddle; shabrack-black horse; see sketch." This instance will give an idea of the way in which facts are preservedi when a panoramia is painted by artists who conscientiously strive to make of the work a great historical painting.-Tco doe Ri.
