"Amid the applause that followed Mr. Taskell's remarks (his 'ringsters' would have applauded him if he had said black was white, which he did in effect!) Mr. Tillman was heard to say: '1 will prove the falseness of those figures be fore the people," &c." I merely desire to call attention to the contradiction between his first and last statement, and to the fact that the figures he gave were not official, and are shown by Gen. Verner's statement to be totally incorrect. Further, that Gen. Verner says that the "surplus" was not used in 1879, as stated by Col. Haskell, but that the "unpaid interest was funded." "Even the good Homer sometimes nods," and the distinguished chairman of the ways and means, who has bull dozed and brow-beaten so many fanners, will mind how he accepts another "dare" from one. I have redeemed my pledge, and shown that I was right and he was wrog,Jand I now "dare" him, or any one else, to disprove what I have assert ed in this letter. A few words on the editorial in The Weekly News and Courier of 23d and I am done. In it, what I said in the Con vention is characterized as "discreditable in both matter and manner," and the bulk of it termed "invective and ex "&c. I have never laid any clarmato oratory; and knowing the Con ventionwas very impatient to adjourn, I made, no attempt at anything but a direct and clear statement of my ideas on the matter without wasting time on the usual oratorical "buncombe." I never "delivered myself as the official spokesman of the people" or made any "threats" of what they would do. My words were: "I stand here in the inter est of. the common, people of South Carolina and ask that you give them their rights," and my reply to Col. Haskell was not "unguarded." He was mistating my words just as Capt. Daw non bas done, and I said, "I have never claimed to represent anybody but my self" which is the simple truth. The only "Commission" I had in Columbia was from the Edgefield Democratic Con vention. After a warm debate, in which the= identical arguments used by Col. Haskell, Senator Murray and Mr. Gary were advanced by a friend of the "ring," that opntionby a vote of 101 to 58 pased a resolution in "favor of primary htions for all offices in the gift of the ISemoooticpartyfrom Governor down." Imatdld neerngly that my"own asso iates voted against me." did it in the face of the resolution, and it only hroves tbat the "yell" I gave about the Stat Convention "representing the peo ple" was true. I may not represent the peo*,of Edgefield in all things, but I 'feel sore on this point and also feel sure thait will not be long before ;a State primary for State officers will replace theBentenborough Convention system.

Who Stole Fruit at Night and Locked H im self in the Stable in the Morning. The English Commissioner at Shwey ghua, in Burmaih, recently had a young elephant given him by a native gentle man. The youngster was kept in a stable in the garden and was locked in at night by a door having a sliding wooden bar running in iron staples. Now, adjoining the stables was the Commissioner's garden, in which he took great pride. The garden, full of fruit, was well laid out, and had the walks paved with brick. Shortly after the young elephant's arrival the garden was found to be system atically plundered of its fruit. No traces were left by the thief, nor were there any footprints to indicate how an entrance could have been effected. The Com missioner issued orders for watchmen to surround the place outside at intervals and lie in wait for the thief, and in case of discovery permission was given them to shoot the robbers, as a warning to other evil-minded persons, On the morning after this order was issued, the watchman reported that no one had passed their cordon. But the head gardener told a different story. The damage done had exceeded that of the night previous, much: fruit having been broken off and left lying on theground. The Commissioner was now thoroughly exasperated and admitted native watchmen into his cherished garden. They recieved strict injunctions to take the offenders alive and to awaken him at once and report who the daring thieves were. At a late hour in the night the Commissioner was awaken by his Madrassee butler, who informed him with much gravity that the thief was dis covered, but that they had not captured him, desiring the Bhayahhimself to come and see him. The Commissioner quickly donned his garments and went out to the garden. At the gate he met a watchman, who asked him to follow him as noiselessly as he could. They proceeded down one of the paths until the watchman stopped and whispered, "Look thaken." There was master elphant regaling himself on the Commissioner's choice fruit, selecting the best and throwing down any he did not fancy. The Commissioner decided to wait and follow the youngster when he had satiated himself and see how he had managed to break out of his stable. After a while the elephant thought it time to retire and returned towards his stable. The young elephant entered the stable and pulled the door to with his trunk; then the side of the roof was seen to be lifted up and the elephant's head appear ed just above the door. Out came the trunk and reached down to the heavy bar, caught hold of it and pushed it into its place through the iron staples; then the roof was lowered and all was in good order. On examination of the interior of the stable in the morning it was found that the animal had untied the bamboo strips with which the rafters were fast ened to the plates in the simple Burmese architectural style. The roof was thus easily lifted allowing the animal to project his trunk and reach the outer bar. His "boyish" mouth had watered for a taste of stolen fruit, so sweet to youth. Then he thought of lifting the rafters, untying the fastenings and so reaching the bar he had noticed was on the outside of the door. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. What the Great Papers of the Country Say About the Work of the Convention. New York Herald: "It is as good a plat form as was ever adopted by convention, clear, straighforward, without quib'i or double dealing. What it declares concern ing promises redeemed is true; what it promises the ticket guarantees. Now let us see what the Republicans can agree to at Chicago. If they speak of the past, they must confess to pledges broken by them. If they speak of the future, this Democrntic platform warns them to' greater honesty than they have practiced in recent years." New York World- "The Convention ac cepted the issue squarely, and to clinch its action adopted a separate resolution en dorsing and recommending the early pas sage of the Mills bill. The party, there. fore, stands committed thoroughly to its candidate and its resolutions to tariff re form, not only in the abstract, in the con crete." New York Times: "The platform is notable and creditable in almost every thing that it contains. It is still more notable and utterly discreditable for its de liberate omission of any endorsement of civil service reform. The platform, as it stands after the additions rpade to it by the resolutions offered in the Convention, is dignified, temperate and candid. The as sertions it contains as to what the Demo cratic party in possession of the executive branches of the Government and of the popular House of Congress has accom plished and fairly sustained by the facts, thougrh it is not stated, and no one could expect that it would be. that in those mat ters most to the credit of the party, the Administration has not had the icordial support of the representatiues of the party in Congress." Chicago Morning News (Independent): "Necessity and sentiment were the parents of the Democratic ticket completed by the nomination of Allen G. Thurman for Vice Presidency at St. Louis yesterday. Events made Cleveland the nominee nt its head as they have steadily advanced him from the Mayoralty of Buffalo to his present high office. It is a singular piece of good for. tune for the Democracy that couples the name of its most sentimental ideal with that of its man of destiny on the ticket. About the political wisdom of nominating Thurman for the Vice Presidency opinions may differ. His age is one thing that can be urged against him. But Thurman s mind is still as strong, his heart is still as right and his courage and conviction as true and as fearless as ever. His name brings to the ticket a popularity with the people throughout the Union that none other could. For this he was nominated." Cincinnati Enquirer: "The work of the Democratic Convention is ended, and it leaves nothing to regret. The Democratic party goes once more before the people with a declaration whose tone is proud and confident. It is a battle-cry. It has noth ing to excuse, nothing to palliate. It chal lenges the most careful scrutirny of its stewardship for the past three years, and dwells with just pride upon the high ex cellence which marks it." Boston Herald (Independent): "The Democratic Concention as a whole has met public expectation with regard to ii. They have pursued a politic course in all their actions. They have not taken an extreme step in it. They have acted exactly as if they meant to omit nothing in the wa~y of precaution that should aid them to victory. If Ilepublicans profit by their enample anid add to it a little precautionary progress they will be wise." A Furious storm In Arkansas. K~Asss CrrY, Mo., June 5.-It is re ported that a furious storm swept over Washington county, Ark., Saturday. caus ing much loss of life ad property. In one hamlet twelve houses were destroyd and seven or eight persons were badly in jured. It is rumored that in the interior seven persons were killed. The last has not been confirmed. The town of Evans ville, a place of 500 people, was partiially destroyed. J. R. Flynn's house, a two story structure, was blown to pieces and WAVING A FLAMING CROSS. DR. TALMAGE'S SUNDAY SERMON AT THE CROWDED TARERNACLE. He Calls Upon the Unbelieving to Take Up the Cross----The Requireieuts of a Disciple. Rev. Dr. Talmage preached Sunday morning upon "The Assassination." He took his text from Luke, xiv., 27: "Whosoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My dis ciple." After portraying Christ's death on the cross in his peculiarly graphic manner, Dr. Talmage said: "Oh! my soul, He is dead. Can you tell why? Was He a fanatic dying for a principle that did not amount toanythig? Was He a man infatuated? No; to save your soul from sin, and mine, and make eternal life possible, he died. There had to be a substitute for sin. Who shall it be? 'Let it be me! said Christ, 'let it be me.' You understand the meaning of that word, substitution? You were drafted for the last war; some one took your place, marched your march, suffered your wounds, and died at Gettysburg. Christ comes to us while we are fighting our battle with sin and death and hell, and He is our substitute. He marches our march, fights our battle, suffers our wounds, and dies our death. Substitution! Substitution! "How do you feel in regard to that scene described in the text, and in the region around about the text? Are your sympathies aroused? Or are you so dead in sin, and so abandoned by reason of your tranrgression that you can look upon all that tearless and unmoved. No, no; thousands of people are here this morning who can say in the depths of their soul: 'No, no, no, if Jesus endured that, and all that for me, I ought to love Him. I must love Him, I will love Him, I do love Him. Here, lord, I give my self to Thee; 'tis all that I can do.' "But how are you going to test your love, and test your earnestness? My text gives a test. It says that while Christ carried a cross for you, you must be willingtocarryacross for Christ. 'Well,' you say, 'I never could understand that. There are no crosses to be carried in this laud; those persecutions have passed, and in all the land there is no one to be crucified, and yet in the pulpit and in the prayer meetings you all keep talking about carrying a cross. What do you mean, sir?' I mean this: that is a cross which Christ calls you to do which is un pleasant and hard. "Here is a man whose cross will be to announce among his business associates to-morrow morning on 'charge that he has beguL a new life; that while he wants to be faithi'l in his worldly duties, he is living for another world, and he ought to advise all those who are his associates, so far as he can influence them, to begin with him the Christian life. Could you do that, my brother? 'Oh! no,' you say, 'not just that. Ithink religionis religion, and business is business, and it would be impossible for me to recommend the Christion religion in places of worldly business.' Just as I feared. There is a cross offered you, and you cannot carry it. Christ lifted a mountain for you;you cannot lift an ounce for Him. "There is some one whose cross will be to present religon in the home circle. Would you dare to kneel down and pray if your brother and sister were looking at you? Could you ask a blessing at the tea table? Could you take the Bible and gather your family around you, and read of Christ and Heaven and yourinmmortal soul? Could you then kneel and pray for a blessing on your household? 'Oh!' you say, 'not exactly that. I couldn't 'quite do that, because I have a very quick temper, and if I professed religion and tried to talk religion in my household, and after that I should lose my temper they would scoff at me and say: "You are a pretty Christian!"' So you are cowed down and their scarcasm keeps you outof Heaven and away from Christ, when under God you ought to take your whole family into the kingdom. Christ lifted a mountain, lifted a world for you; you cannot lift an ounce for him. I see how it is; you want to be favorable to religion; you want to support Christian institutions; you like to be associated with those who love Jesus Christ; but as to taking a positive step on this subject you cannot-you cannot, and my text, like a gate of a hundred bolts, bars you away from peace on earth and glory in Heaven. "There are hundreds of men and women here brave enough in other things in life who simply for the lack of manli ness and womanliness stay away from God. They dare not say: 'Forever, Lord Jesus, I take Thee.' I[ tell you these things this morning because, my dear friends, I want to show you how light the cross is that we have to carry com pared with that which Christ carried for us. You have not had the flesh torn off for Christ's sake in carrying your cross. He fainted dead away under His cross. You have not carried the cross until it fetched the blood. Under His there was a pool of carnage that plashed the horses' fetlocks. You have friends to sympathize with you in carrying the cross; Christ trod the winepress of God's wrath alone, alone! "There has some one come here to-day whom you have not observed. He did not come through the front door; He did not come down any of these aisles; yet I know He is here. He is from the East, the far East. He comes with blistered foot, and broken heart, and cheeks red not with health, but with blood from the temples. I take hold of His coat and I say: 'It (.oes not seem to fit Thee.' 'No,' He says, 'it ia not mine; it is bor rowed; it does not belong to me now. For my vesture did they cast lots.' And I say to Him: 'Thine eyes are red as though from loss of sleep.' He says; 'Yes, the Son of man had not where to lay His head.' And I touch the log on His back andlIsay; 'Why carriest Thou this?' Ahi!' He says; 'That is a cross I carry tor thee and for the sins of the whole world. Thatis a croes. Fall into line, march on with me in this procession, take your smaller crosses and your lighter burdens, and join me in this march to Heaven.' And we join that procession with our smaller crosses and our lighter burdens, and Christ looks back and He sees some are halting be cause they cannot endure the shame or bear the burden, and with a voice which has in it majesty and omnipotence. He cries until all the earth trembles: Who soever doth not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.' "Oh! my bretheren, my sisters-for I do not speak professionally, I speak as a brother would speak to a brother or sister-my brother, can you not bear a ross if at last you can wear a crown? Come now, let us divide off. Who is on the Lord's side? Who is ready to turn his back upon the Lamb of God that taketh away the :in of the world? "A Rhoman emperor said to a Greek architect: 'You build me a coliseum, a grand coliseum, and if it suits me I will1 crown you in the presence of all the people, and I will make a great day of festival on your account.' The Greek architect did his work, did it magnificent ly, planned the bildingr and and lookedr after its construction. The building was done. The day for opening arrived. In the coliseum were the Emperor and the Greek architect. The Empror rose amid the plaudits of a vast assembly, and said; 'We have gathered here to-day to open this coliseum, and to honor the Greek architect. It is a great day for the Roman Empire. Let this building be prosperous, and let honor be put upon the Greek architect. Oh, we must have a festival to-day. Bring out those Christians and let us have them put to death at the mouth of the lions.' The Christians were put into the centre of the amphitheatre. It was to be a great celebration in their destruc tion. "Then the lions, hungry and three fourths starved, were let our from their dens in the side of the amphitheatre, and they came forth with mighty spring to destroy and rend the Christians, and all the galleries shouted: 'Huzza, huzza! Long live the Emperor!' Then the Greek architect arose in one of the galleries and shouted untilin the vast assemblage all heard him: 'I too am a Christian!' and they seized him in their fury, and flung him to the wild beasts, until his body, bleeding and dead, was tumbled over and over again in the dust of the amphi theatre you, in a vast assemblage, all of whom hated. "Could you have done that for Christ? Could Christ, have said: 'I am a Christ ian.' or, 'I want to be a Christian'? Would you have had the ten thousandth part of the enthusiasm and the courage of the Greek architect? Nay, I ask you another question: Would you in an as semblage where they are nu ly all Christ ians-in an assemblage, a vast multitude of whom love Christ and are willing to live, and if need be, to die for Him would you dare to say: 'I am a Chiist ian,'or, 'I want to be a Christian'? Would you say in the presence of the friends of Christ, as much as the Greek architect said in the presence of the enemies of Christ? Oh? Are there not multitudes here this morning who are ready to say: 'Let the world look on, let all the gal leries of earth and heaven and hell look on, I take Christ this day. Come ap plause or abuse, come sickness orhealth, come life or death, Christ now, Christ forever.' "Are you for Christ, are you against Him? The destinies of eternity tremble in the balance. It seems as if the last day had come and we were gathered for the reckoning. Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him.' What I say to one I say to all. Iwhat are you going to do for Christ? What are you bearing for Christ? "When the Scottish chieftains wanted to raise an army they would make a wooden cross, and then set it on fire, and carry it with other crosses they had through the mountains, through the highlands and among the people, and as they waved the cross the people would gather to the standard and fight for Scotland. So to-day I come out with the cross of the Son of God. It is a flaming cross-flaming with suffering, flaming with triumph, flaming with glory. I carry it out among all the people. Who will be on the Lord's side? Who will gather to the standard of Emmanuel? A cross, a cross, a cross! 'Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after Me cannot, cannot be My disciple.' " AN EGG-SHELL BOAT. Capt. Andrews to Tempt the Atlantic Billows in a Fifteen-foot Dory. Bosrox, June 5.-Capt. William A. Andrews, of Cambridge. who crossed with his brother ten years ago, will make another attempt June 18 to cross the Atlantic in a small boat. Andrews will go alone this time. The Nautilus sailed from South Boston June 8, 1878, and arrived safely at the Lizard, England, forty-five days later. The Nautilus was a dory, nineteen feet in length over all, fifteen feet on the bottom, six feet seven inches in width, and twc feet inches deep. The Dark Secret, as the new craft is called, is a kneel boat, fifteen feet over all, twelve feet on the keel, tive feet wide and two feet deep. She is built of cedar five-eighths of an inch in thickness. She will have air-tight bulkheads and a keel of lead weighing 2.50 pounds. Hc! cabin will be about six feet long and about three and one half feet from floor to ceil* ing. The stores which Andrews proposes to carry will last at least seventy-five days. Captain Andrews is a tall, well-built man, forty-five years of age, a native of Manchester-by-the-Sea. He served four years as color-sergeant during the civil war. He expects it will take about fifty days to reach Queenstown. He will be lashed to the boat during the entire voyage. Josiah's Wife. "When my Josiah and me first married," she said, "I'd an idee that he hadn't a fault in the world. I ~ j?4't hear to anyahing but that he was gri t; and he thought the same of me. "He just thought, Josiah did, that he'd drawn one of them impossible prizes in the lottery of matrimony-a womjp without a fault. "Well, by the time we'd gone ~og two or three housekeeping sdrap <a taking up and putting down carpets and setting up and tearing down stoves and all that sort of thing, to say iiothing of 'blue Monday,' wash-day, and tooth aches that lasted three days at a time time we'd gone through all that Josiah had found out that I wa'n't quite an angel, and I'd discovered that he could do and say things the saints would skeersely do and say. "And one day, in one of my penitent spells, Isays to Josiah, says I, 'I ain't the person you thought I was, am I, Josiah? I ain't half as good and sweet as you thought I'd be.' "We was at the dinner-table when I said it, and there was a big dish of beautiful honey in the comb on the table. Josiah picked it up, and he says, says he, 'Mirandy, I like honey as well as any man living likes it, and you like it, too, but if we had to eat it three times aday for even six months we'd get so despritly sick of it we'd never want to hear the word "honey" again. Variety,' says he, 'is the spice of life, sure enough.' "And most married folks, Itake notice, don't eat honey three times a day, and they've variety enough to make life interestin'." Attacked by a Madman. Cnie'A'o, June 4.-Judge Anthony of the Supreme Court bad a narrow escape from serious injunry or perhaps death this morning. The .Judge left his residence in La Salle avenue at 9. 30J o'clock to conme down to the county building. When he reachedi the sidewalk in front of his~ resi dence a mia suddenly sprang upon him. The Judge, who is a large and powerful man, fought his assailant desperately, but was in great danger of being throttled. A baker's wagon came along and the driver went to the Judge's assistance. Bly their combined efforts the man was soon over powered. The police were summoned and the des perate man taken to the Chicago avenue police station. Here he g'ave his nme as Andrew Shirley.

B. has affected on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I called on the very best doctors that the coun try could afford, and they tended on her for four years to no purpose. Her leg got worse every year. I used about 30 bottles of other medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation. That we all was opposed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of January,1886, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chamberiand & Co., recom mended the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bottles, and to my utter surprise after using three or four bottles my girl's leg was entirely healed. I also had a very ugly run ning sore tn the calf of my leg and one bottle cured it, after having tried all other remedies. I wish you n uch success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier. I have tried three or four other purifiers, but the B. B. B. 's the only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if you wish. I am well known in thisand Washington county, also all over Virginia. B. S. ELsox. BLOOD TAINT FROM BIRTH. BoONYvTLLE, IND., January 25, 1887. I shall ever praise the day when you gentle men were born and shall bless the day that your medicine was known to me. I had blood poison from birth, and so much so that all the doctors of my town said I would be crippled for life. They said I would loose my lower limb. I could not stand in my class to recite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your Balm cured me sound and well. You can use my name as you see fit. In my case, there were knots on my shinbones as large as a hen's egg. Yours, MIRTLE M.

I resorted to all sorts of patentmedicines, spend ing a large amount of money, but yet getting no better. My attention was attracted by the cures said to have been affected by B. B.

To my utter surprise I soon commenced to Im prove, and deem myself to-day a well and hearty person-all owing to the excellent qua lities of B. B. B. I cannot commend itto highly to those suffering from blood poison. J. O. Grsoir, Trainman M. & O.R. B. AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
