SERMON TO FARMERS. DR. TALMAGE ADDRESSES THE EN CAMPMENT AT MT. GRETNA. "Farmina a Gospet Typc."' the Subject, and the Texi. -ii1mba, thw Non of Sha phat. WIo wa., Plowing with Twehe Oxen. Li.:nAxo., PA.. August 17.-The American Farenrs' Enic'a III pniit at iount GrIna. near this city. to-day listened attentivelyv to a remiarkabic dis course by the great Brook!vn preacher. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. who arrived here yesterday from the Chautauqua. at Piedmont, Ga.. where he spoke Wednes day last. The subiect was one cculiarly suited to the vast audiecnce. being on -Farming a Gospel Type." I King.- xx, 19: -Elisha. the son of Shaphat. who was plowing with twelve OXenl before him. and he with the twelfth." Representatives of the great Farmers' associations from all parts of the couutry are at the encampment. preparations for which have been going on months !n advance. The surrounding densely-pop ulated counties of Pennsylvania are also fully represented. To-day's services were held in the open air. An immense choir, from the churches of Lebanon. led the music. 1ev. Dr. Tahnage spoke as follows: Farmers of America! Accept nv salu tation. Our text puts us down into the plow's furrow, where many of us have been- before. Nv boyhood passed on a farm, and my father, a farmer, vour style of life is familiar to me. One of my earliest recollections is that of my fhther coming in from the hot harvest-flield ex hausted, the perspiration streaming from his forehead and chin, and fhinting on the door-sill, and my mother resuscitat ing him, until seeing the alarm of the household, lie said, '-Don't be frightened. I got a little tired, and the sun was hot, but I am all right now." And I remem ber mother seated at the table. often sav ing, "Well, I am too tired to eat!" The fact is. that I do not think the old folks got thoroughly rested until they lay down in the grave-yard back of Somer ille, to take the last sleep. - Office-seekers go through the land and they stand on political platforms, and they tell the farmers the story about the independent life of the farmer, giving flattery where they ought to give sym pathy. Independent of what? No class of people in this country have it harder than farmers. Independent of what? Of the curculio that stings the peach trees? of the rust in the wheat? of the lonz rain with the rye down? Inde pendent of the grasshopper? of the locust? of the army worm?of the potato bug? Independent of the drought that burns up the harvest? Independent of the cow with the hollow horn? or the sheep wii the foot-rot9 or the pet horse with a iail in his hoof? Inde pendent of the cold that freezes out the winter grain? Independent of the snow bank out of which lie must shovel him self? Independent of the cold weather when be stands theshing his numbed fingers around his body to keep them from being frosted? Independent of the frozen ears and frozen feet? Indepen :'dent ofwhat? Fancv-farmers who have made their fortunes in the city and go out in the country to build houses with all the modern improvements, and make farming a luxary, may not need any solace; but the yeomanry who get their living out of the soil. and who that way -have to clothe their families and educate 4their children, and pay their taxes and meet the interest on mortgaged farms ~such-men find a terrific strugg~le. And Smy hope is that this great National F-~~armers' encampment may do some -thing towards lifting the burdens of the agriculturists. Yes, we were nearly all of us born in the country. We dropped corn in the hill. and went on Saturday to the mill. tving the grist in the centre of t.he sack so that the contents on either side th'e horse balanced each other: and drove the cattle afield, our bare feet wet with the dew, and rode the horses with the halter to the brook until we fell off, and hunted the mow for nests until the feathered - occupants went cackling away. So we all understand rustic al lusions. The Bible is full of them. In Christ's sermon on the Mount. you see the full-blown lillies and the glossy black of the crow's wing as it flies over Mount Olivet. David atnd John, Paul and Isaiah find in country life a source of frequent illustration, while Christ takes the responsibility of calling God a farmer, declaring: "My Father is the husbandman." Noah was the first farmer. We say nothing about Cain, the tiller of the soil. Adam was a gardener on a large scale. but to Noah was given all the acres of the earth. Elisha was an agriculturist, not culturing a ten-acre -lot, for in my text you find him plowing with twelve y oke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. In Bible times the land was so plenty, and the inhabitants so few, that b~oah w as right when he gave to every inhabitant a certain portion of land; that land, If cultured, ever after to be his own possession. They were not small crops raised in 7those times, for though the arts were rude, the plow turned up very rich soil,' and barley, and cotton. and flax, and all kinds of grain came up at the call of the harvesters. Pliny tells of one stalk ot grain that had on it between 300 and 400. ears. The rivers and the brooks, through artificial channels, were brought down to the roots of the corn, and to this babit of turning a river wherever it was wanted Solomon refers when he says: - The King's heart is in the hands of the, Lord, and He turneth it as the rivers of water are turned, withersoever Hie will." The wild beasts were caught. and then bo~jiok was put into theirnose, and then they were led over the field, and to that God refers when lie says to wicked Sen nacherib: -"I will put a hook in thy nose and I will bringr thee back by the way which thou camest." And God has a hook in every man's nose, whether it be Nebuchadnezzar or Ahab or Herod. H~e may think himself very independent, but some time in his life or in the hour of his death, he will find that the Lord Al mighty has a hook in his nose. This was the rule in regard to the cul ture of the ground, "Thou shalt not plowv with an ox and an ass together." illus-. trating the folly of ever putting intelli gent and useful and pliable men in asso ciation with the subborn and the un manageable. The vast majority of troubles in the churches and in reforma .tory institutions cornea from the disre gard for this command of the Lord. "Thou shalt not plo'v with an ox and an ass together." There were large amounts of property invested in eattle. The Moabites p~aid 100.000 gheep as an annual tax. .Job had):ty0 sheep. 2,000 camels. 500 yoke of oxen. The time of vintage was ushered in wvith mirth andI music. The clusters of the vine were put in to the winepress, andl then live men woul get into the press andl trample out the juice from the grape untii their garmnents were saturated with the win and had become the emblems of slaughter. Christ IHim self, wounded until covered with the blood ot crucitixion, made use of this allusion when the qucstion was asked: "Wherefore art thou red in tine ap parel and thy garments like one who treadeth the wie-valt ?" lie responded: '-I have trodden the winepress alone." In all ages there has been g.reat honor paid to agiculture. Seventh -ei ithis oft of the plow. A government is strong in proportion as it is supported by an athle tic and industrious veoianry. So long Ias before the fall of Carthage. Strabo wrote twenltv-oehrhlt books oilnagriculture; Iesiod wrote a poem on the same sub ject- The Weeks and Das." Cato Vls prouder of his work on liusball(yi than of all his mihtary conquests. But .1 iust int he tenlted into a discussion of, agricultural ciquests. Standing anild the harvests and orchards and vine Vards, of* the Blible, and standing amild the harvesis and orchards and vineyards o. Our own country-1 want to run out tie :i ido'y .between the production of crops and the growth of grace in tile soul-all these sacred writers making use of that anlalogv. Ini i irst place I remark, in grace as in the fields there iust be a plow. That which theologians call conviction is only the plowshare turning up the sivs that i have been rooted and matted in the soul. A "armer said to his indolent son: "-There are a hundred dollars buried deep in that field." The son went to Work and plowed the field from nene to fence. and he plowed it very deep, and then colplainled that 1he had not found the money; but when the crop had been i -athered and sold for a hundred dollars iore thtan any previous year, then the young man took the hint as to what his father meant when lie salli there were a hundred dollars buried down in that field. Deep plowing for a crop. Deep plowing foi a soul. Ie who makes light of sin vill never amount to any thaim in the church or in the world. If a man speaks of sill as though it were an inaccuracy or a mistake, instead of the loatthsome, abominable, consuming. and damning thing that God hates, that main will never yield a harvest of useful ness. When I was a boy I plowed a field with a team of spirited horses. I plowed it very quickly. Once in a while I pass ed over some of the sod without turning it, but I did not jerk back the plow with its rattling clevises. I thought it made no ditference. After awhile my father came along and said: "Why. this will never do; ibis isn't plowed deep enough; there vou have missed this and youhave missed that." And lie plowed it over again. The difficulty with a great many people is that they are only scratched with conviction when the subsoil plow of God's truth ought to be put in up to the beam. My word is to all Sabbath-school teachers, to all parents, to all Cliristian workers-plow deep ! And ii' in yonr own personal expericnce you are apt to take a lenient view.of the sinful side of your nature, put down into your soul the ten commandments which reveal the holiness of God. and that sharp and glittering coulter will turn up your soul to the deepest depths. If a man preaches to you that you are only a little out of order by reas'on of sin and that you need only a little fixing-up, lie deceives ! You have suffered an appalling injury by reason of sin. There are quick poisons. and slow poisons, but the druggist could give you one drop that would kill the body. And sin is like that drug; so virulent, so poisonous. so fatal that one drop is enough to kill the soul. Ieep ploughing for a crop. Deep ploughing for a soul. Broken heart or no religion. Broken soul or no harvest. Why was it that David and the jailer and the pnblican and Paul made such ado about their sins ? Had they lost their senses ? No. The ploughshare struck them. Conviction turned up a great many things that were forgotten. As a farmer ploughmng sometimes turns up the skeleton of a man or the anatomy of a monster long' ago buried, so the ploughshare of conviction turns up the ghastly skeletons of sin long ago en tombed. Geologists never brought up from the depths of the mountain migh tier ichithvosaurus or megatherium. But what nieans all this crooked plonghing, these crooked furrows, the repentanice that amounts to nothing. the repentance that ends in nothing ? Men groan over their sins, but get no better. They wveep, but their tears are not count ed. They get convicted, but not con erted. What is the reason? I remem ber that on the farm wve set a standard with a red flag at the other end of the field. We kept our eye on that. We aimed at that. We ploughied up to that. Losing sight of that we made a crooked frrow. Keeping our eyes onl that we made a straight furrowv. Now in this matter of conviction we must have some standard to guide us. it is a red stand ard that God has set at the other end of the field. It is the cross. Keeping your eye on1 that you will make a straight furrow. Losing sight of it you will make a crooked furrow. Plough up to the cross. Aim not at either end of the horizontal piece of the cross but at the upright piece. at the centre of it, the heart of the Son of' God who bore your -sins and made satisfaction. Crying and weeping will not bring you through. "Ihim hiath God exalted to be Prince and Saviouc to give repentance." Oh! plough un to the cross! Again. I remark in grace as in the field~ there must be a sowing. In tile autumnal weather you find the farmer going across thle field at a stride of about twenty-three inches, and at every stride ie puts his hand into the sack of grain and he sprinkles the seed corn over the ifeld. It looks silly to a man who does not know what he is doing. He is doing a very important work. He is scatter ing thie winter grain, and though the snow may come, the next year there will be a gre at cr01). Now, that is what we are doing when we are preaching the Gospel-we are scattering tihe seed. It is the foolishness of' preaching, but it is the winter grain; and though the snow ot worldiness may come down upon it, it will vield after a while glorious har vest. ~Let us be sure we sow the right kind of seed. Sow mullen stalk and mullen stalk will come up. Sow Canada thristles and Canada thistles will come up. 5ow wvheat and wheat wIll come tip. Let us distmnguish between truth and error. Let us know the dutrerence be tween wheat and hiellebore, oats and henbane. The largest denoniination in this coun try is the denomination of Nothiingar lans. Their religion is a system of ne gations. You say to one of them, "What do you believe ?" "Well, I don't believe in Infat baiptism." "What do von be lieve ? "Well I don't believe in the pre severance of the saints." "Well, now tell me what von (10 believe ?" "Well, I don't believe in the eternal punmsn ment of thle wicked." Their religion is a row of cevliers. Believe something and teach it; or, to resume the figure of my text, . after abroad the right kind of seed. A minister in New York preached a sermon calculated to set the denomina tios of Chiristians quarreling, Hie was sowing nettles. A minister in Boston advertised that lhe wouldi preachi a ser mon 01n the sup~eriority of transcendental and orgauiizedl forees to untranlscenidental aid unorganized forces. What was lie sowg ~The LordI Jesns Christ nine teen 'enturies ago planted the divine seed of doctrine. It sprang up. On one side oi' the stalk are all the churches of Chr:istndom. On the other side of the stalk ar1e all th'e free governments of the earth. andi on the top) there shall be a iowering mnillenium after awhlile. All ino the Gospel seedl of doctrine. Every word that a pa~renit, or Sabtbath-school teacher, or city missionary, or other Chilstan wvorker speaks for Christ comes ui. Yea, it colmes up with compilound iiteret-voui savinig 01ne soul. that one saving tein. the ten a hundred, the hun11 and, the ten thousand one hundred thousand-on, on forever. Again, I remark, in grace as in the farm there must be a harrowing. I re fer nlow not to a harrow that goes over the field in order to prepare the ground for the seed, but a harrow which goes oves after the seed is sowi. lest the bird., pick up the seeds. simiking it down iito the earth so that it can take root. There are new kinds of harrow, but the harrow as I remember it was made of' bars -if wood nailed across each other, and the underside of each bar was furnished with sharp teeth. and when the horses were hitched to it it weit tearin: and leaping across the field. driviig ie seed dowi into the earth until it sjruig )up ii the harvest. Bereavement. sorrow. perse cution are the Lord's harrows to sink the Gospel truth into your heiart. There were truths that you heard tirtv years ago. that have not ailteted You until re cently. Some great trouble came over vou. and the truth was harrowed in, and it has come up. What did (od mean in this country in 1857? For a century there was the. Gospel preached, but a great deal of it prodneed no result. Then God harnessed a wild panic to a harrow of commercial disaster, and that harrow went (own Wall street an(d up Wall street, down Third street and up Third street, down State street and up State street, until the whole land was torn to pieces as it had never been belore. What followed the harrow? A great awaken ing in which there were 500,000 souls brought into the kingdom of our Lord. No harrow, no cro). Again, I remark, in grace as in' the farm there must be a reaping. Many Christians speak of religion as though it were a mat ter of economics or insurance. They expect to reap in the next worid. uh, no! Now is the time to reap. Gather up the joy of the Christrian re ligion this morning. this afternoon, this night. If you have not as mach grace as vou w:uld like to have, thank God for what you have, and pray for more. You are no worse enslaved than Joseph, no worse troubled than was Dayid. no worse scourged than wvas Paul. Yet. amid the rattling of fetters, and amid the gloom of dnugeons, and amid the horror of shipwreck. they triumphed in the grace of God. The weakest man here has 500 acres of spiritual joy all ripe. Wlhy do you not go and reap it e You have been groaning over your infirmities for thirty years. Now give one round shout over your emancipation. You say you have it so hard; you might have it worse. You wonder why this great cold trouble keeps revolving through your soul, turning and turning, with a black hand on the crank. Ah, that trouble is the grindstone on which you are to sharpen your sickle. To- the fields! Wake up! Take off your green spectacles, your blue spectacles, your black spectacles. Pull up the corners of your mouth as far as you pull them down. To the fields! Reap! reap! Again, I remark, in grace as in farm ing, there is a time for threshing. I tell you bluntly that is death. Just as a farmer beats the wheat out of the straw. so death beats the soul out of the body. Every sickness is a stroke of the flail, and the sickbed is the threshing floor. What. say you, is death to a good man, only taking the wheat out of the straw. That is all. An aged man has fallen asleep. Only yesterday you saw him in the sun ny porch, playing with his grand-child ren. Calmly he received the message to leave this world. He bade a pleas ant good-by to his old friends. The tel graphi carries the tidings, and on swift rail-trains the kmndred come, w"anting nce more to look on the face of dear ld grandfather. Brush back the gray airs from his brow: it will never ache gain. Put hlim awvay in the slumber of' he tomb. He will not be afraid of that ight. Grandfather w~as never afr'aid of' aything. He will rise in tile morniing f' the resurrection. Grandfather wvas lways the first to rise. His voice hlas lready mingled in the doxology of heav en. Grandfather always (lid sing in hurch. Anything ghastly in that? No. The thireshmg of wheat out of tile straw. That is all. The Saviour fo)lds a lamb in Ihis bosom. The little chlildI filled all the hlouse with er music, and her toys are scattered all p and down the stairs just as shle left hem. What if tile hand that plucked our o'clocks out of the meadow is still? t will wave the eternal triumph. What f the voice that made music in the home s still? It will sing the eternal hosanna. ut a whlite rose in one hand, aud a red ose in the other ha~nd, and a wreath of range blossoms on the brow; the wvlute lower for the victory, the red flower for te Saviour's sacrifice, the orange bios ons for her marriage day. Anything hastly about that? Oh. no. The sun ent down and tile flower shlut. The heat thlreshled out of tile straw'. "Dear od, give me sleep," saidi a dying boy; he son of one of' my elders. "Dear ord, give me sleep." And he closed is eyes and awoke in glory. Ilenr'y WV. Longfellow, writting a letter of condo ence to those parents, said: "Those last ords were beautifully poetic. "Dear ord, give me sleep." "'Twas not in cruelty, not in wrath Thlat the reaper came that day; 'Twas an angol that visited the earth And took the flower away." So it may be with us whlen our work is all done. "Dear Lord, give nie sleep." I have one more thought to present. have spoken of tile plowing, of the sow ing, of the harrowing, of the reaping, f the threshing. I must now speak a oment of the garnerIng. Where is the garner? Need I tell you? h, no. So many have gone out from our own circles--yea, from your own amily, that you have had your eves on that garner for miany a year. What a hard time some of them had! In Geth emanes of suffering, they sweat great drops of blood. Thley took the "cup of trenbling" and they put it to their hot ips and they cried: "If it be possible, let this cup pass from me." With tongues f burning agony they cried: "C) Lord. (leliver my soul!" Bu~tt they got over it. hey all got over It. Ganiered! T1hleir tears wiped away; their battles all end( ed; their burdens lifted. Garnered! The ord of tile harvest wvill not allowv those heaves to perishl in the equinox. Gar nered! Some of us remember, on the farm, that the sheaves were p~ut on the top of the rack, wichl surmounted the agoin, and these sheaves were piled higer and highler, andl after a whlile the horses started for the barn; and thiese sheaves swayedl to andl fro in the wind, nd the 01(1 wagon creaked, anid the horses made a struggle, andh pulled so hard the harness camie up in loops of leather on their back, and wh'ien tile front heel struck tile elevated floor of' the barn, it seemed as if the load wonld go o farther, until the workmen gave a gret shout, and then with one last tre Inenous strain, the horses pulled in the oad' theni they wvere unhlarnessed,. amid forkful after forkiul of' grain fell in the ow. O) my friends, our getting into heaven may be a pull a hiardl pull, a very hlard pull, but these shleaves ai'c bound to go in. The Lord of the liar vest has promiisedl it. I see the loadl at last coming in the (door of the hecaycoly' a'nr. Thei sheaves of' the Christian soul swvav to and f'ro mi the wind of death, and the old body creaks umider' the load, and as the load strikes the iloor' of the celestial g'arner. it seems as if it can go no further. It is the last stru; - ie until thle voice of angles and the1 vices of' 0our depa~rte'd kind~re'd and the v~eloming v'oice of our G;od shall send the harv'est irolling into tile eternal ti imph, while upi :1uid dow'n the sky thei cry is heard: "IHarvest home! Iarr'esL A DAY OF CRIME IN KENTUCKY. A Magistrate Killed in Ilis Own Court Room-Other Murders. LOUIsVILLE, Ky., Auguist 19.--An epidemiic of murder seemis to be sweep it;g over this Sotate. Four sensational killings were reported to-day, with other Counties to hear from. In Iharlan the Howard Turner fend has broken out afresh, and Bob Pope. one of the Turner sympathizers and a County magistrate, is now dead. while a reward is offered for the arrest of John Scott. who aimed the gun that )aid Pope low. A couple of' nights before the shoot ing occurred an ox belonging to Pope Was foundi dead, with a rifle bullet thrgh its body. Leonard Scott was suspected of doing the deed, and was accordingly arrested and brought be fore Pope as the nearest magistrate for trial. Pope refused to try the ian for the killing of his own ox, and ordered himl taken to Harlan Court House. Scott refused to go. In the meantime John Scott. a brother of Leonard, came to the house, Ile carried a rifle and a shotgun, and on entering set them both down. After soime parley Leonard Scott seized the rifle and, declaring he would never he taken away for trial, fired it point blank at the magistrate. The shot missed its mark, and Pope then rushed for his gun to defend him self, but at this inonient the other Scott took a hand with the shotgun, and emptied the contents of one barrel into Pope. The gun was loaded with bird shot and the entire contents entered the man's groin. Pope was a son-in-law of Judge Lewis, the leader o: the Lewis faction, formerly known as the Turner. In the famous Howard-Turner feud the Scott boys are said to be Howard sympa thizers. The Scotts made their escape, and, although Judge Lewis has offered a reward for their capture. they have thus far baflIed the efforts of the of licers. The third affair was in the nature of assassination. Willis Bell of Oldham County was shot from ambush while on his way home from Ligrange. His brother-in-law, Jack Maxfield, with whom he was not on good terms, is ac cused of the crime. Maxfield has been arrested. The fourth murder occurred in Henry County, and was peculiarly atrocious, the object being.robbery. B. F. Taylor was the victim. Testerday he rode in to Sulphur and drew S40 from the bank with which to make some purchases. About dark he turned his horse's head homeward. The banks of a creek, which lay in his way and was near his farm, are covered with a dense growth of short, stubby shrubbery. Just as he reached a place where the creek could be forded two men sprang from the bushes into the path. Both were masked,and while one of them grasped the bridle rein the other pressed the )oint of a pistol to Taylor's temple and commanded that he hand over his money. Mr. Taylor, without replying, seized the highway man, wrenched the pistol from his grasp and was about to shoot him, when the man holding the bridle suddenly struck him a terrible blow in the stomach with a club. Like a log he fell to the ground,and, after emptying his pockets, the scoundrels left him for dead, but the horse, which had become frightened at the struggle, dashed off toward the farm. The empty saddle told the sons of Mr. Taylor that something had happened to their father, and they started on the hunt for him. lie was soon found, and this morning lie was able to give an account of the affair. But even then he was thought to be dying, for lie was undoubtedly injured internally. A CHARLOTTE GIRL'S SAD FATE. She was Ils Seventh Wife But Didn't. Know It. CIIARLOTTE, N. C.. August 10.-Char lotto has a sensation. In it one of the prettiest of her daughters is the princi pal factor. On the 4th of last .June, tis city was startled by the elopement of Miss Co rinne Neisles with one Charles G. La moine. Miss Neisler had met Lamoine in Atlanta where she was visiting friends, andl fromed a dleep attachment for himu. 11er parents objected to the match, but under the preteiise of attend ing the exercises of the unveiling of the Lee statue, the young ladywent to lichmond. and t here met Lamoine. Her parents were astonished to receive a telegram announcing her marrige in Blostoni. Rumor in the meanwhile was rife. It was reported that Lamoinie was a noted bigamist. Deplorable to relate these rumors appeared to be only too true. Yesterday, in the city of Manchester, N. II., Charles G. Lamoine was arrested on a warrent sworn out on a charge of bigamy by Mrs. C. G. Lamoine ot Cin cinati. 0.. who has been on his track ever since he deserted her last April. Lamoine claims that his Cincinnati wife is thewonly one he is bound to by the marriage vows, but his wife says that lie dleserted her four months after the marriage and married Corinne Neisler, and that this is his seventh ma trimo nial venture. The result of the trial was that Lam oine was placed under a bond of $500 and] his Charlotte bride fined $19.602. The unfortunate lady telegraphed to her grief-stricken family to-day for money to come home on. The young lady's family is among tihe best in Charlotte, respected by all and moving in the best eircles. The shock comes upon them with cruishing force. They have the sympathy of all the citi zens of Charlotte, and what now seems to be such a dark cloud of affliction, it is hoped, will somewhat disappear when the idol of tile family circles gets back to her Southern home. She is ex pected to-night.-Atlanta Constitution. Will We Have a Fight. CoLU.Mnr A, S.

Ihoar oiTered a substitute making it in order to close debate after any matter has been "un der conside-ation for a reasonable time," and also an amendment to add the elec tion bill to Quay's list of measures, the vote to be taken on it September 4th. Hoar said his motion seemed to require a compact statement of the purpose, mechanism and necessity of the elec tion bill. There had never been a meas ure so much misrepresented or so much misunderstood. Continuing, he said: "I think nothing has been heard of it here except the threat from one highly honored Senator of bloodShed if its provisions should be adopted and be attempted to be put in force. I think it proper, therefore, to call the atten tion of the Senate for a few momients to the proposition, which is nothing muore nor less than a proposition to re move force and fraud from the elec tion of memberi of our great rep resentative chmlber and to substitute for the election processes with which we are all unhappily, too familiar. the peaceful arbitrament of the courts of the United States." Pugh: "1I desire to inqire of the Sen ator if he alluded to what I said at the time he reported the bill from Commit tee on Privileges and Elections in re lation to the effect of an attempt to en force the law." I1oar: "I did." Pugh: "I desire to say that I made no threat. What I said was a mere pre diction--a mere expression of an opin ion that has been repeated in the. [ouse and in the press to the eff et that an attempt to execute that law would lead to bloodshed. I marie no threat. It is an utter perversion-L am bound to say a wilful perversion--of the lan guage I used at the time that this bill was reported to say that I made any threat that that should be or would be the consequence of the execution of the law. It was a mere prediction--a mere expression of opinion. It was the ex pression of a fear and not of a desire or intent that that would be the con sequence of an effort to execute that law." Hoar: "The difference between pre diction and threat coming from the leaders of the gentlemen who have managed the elections in some parts of the country has, unhappily, been found, in experience, a pretty thin and narrow one. But, if the Senator does not like that phrase I will withdraw it and read from the Record what he did say." Hoar then made an extended speech in support of the election bill, and on its conclusion Spooner moved to refer the Quay resolution to the Committee on Rules. Frye made an impressive address to the Republican Senators against that motion and in favor of the amendment to the rules providing for the adoption of the previous question. He said that if 43 Republican Senators would sit fram ten till six every day and all night if neceessary the rules could be -changed in three days, the tariff bill passed in ten days afterwards. and the election bill in ten days after that. But cowardice, he said, had never won a battle and never retained a friend. IHiscock took the same view. Eidmunds replied to Frye and declar ed his opposition to the muzzling pro eess. While Edmunds was speaking the cloc.k struck twelve and the tariff bill was 1aid before the Senate as un finished business. Aldrich declined to lay aside the tar iff bill temporarily so the Senate pro ceeded with considerationu of the tariff. The pending question was o:n Mc Pherson's amuendmuent to strike out of paragraph 150, page 38. (referring to pen knives, erasers and razors.) classmi cations and compound duties, and to substitute a uniform rate of-45 per cent. advalorem. The paragraph andI amend ment to it gave rise to a long discus sion, carried on by McPherson, Vest. Gray. Carlisle and Daniel, on the Demio cratic side. and Aldrich, Platt and Iawley on the Republican side. Dan iel's remarks were not contlined to the subject of cutlery, but took in the whole question of the protective tariff and its evil results on agricultural in terests. Ie told the Republican Sena tors that their own Secretary of State had writte'n in letters of light, -.con demning the pending bill; and that their own Secretary of Agriculture had told them that the cause of agricultural depression was the loss of the foreign markets. These iiarkets had becen lost by the Republieans dloing what their forefathers had complained of a hun dred years ago against the British crown. That wvas "cutting off tradle with all parts of the world." It was they who had built up the pauper la bor of India by stimulating the prod uc tion of Indian wheat; and it was that same policy which was building up the Argentine Confederation arid making it the rival of the United States in ag ricultural products. Aldrich asked Daniel to say h ow that was being done. Daniel replied that the Republican policy had done it in three ways-first, by demonetization; second, -by the bo gus protective tariiY on wvool;and thirdl, by making monopolistic tariff duties so high that competition had b~een cut off. The American farmers could not now get the high prices for his products in foreign markets to which he has been accustomed. After reply ing to some questions of Allison's as to Argentine wvool, Daniel said that the Senator hadiu, in times past, made some observations in the samue line that lie was making now, and he would there fore refer the Senator of to-day to the Senator of yesterday. Finally a vote was taken, and McPherson's aimendl met was rejected-yeas 2.5, nays 32. Paddock was the only Republican Vot ing "aye." Mandlerson and Plumb vo ted "no." Ingalls did not vote. The Ihouse amendment to thme Agri cultural College bill and meat inspec tion lill w-ere laid before the Senate and were concurred in. The bills now go to the President for his signiture. The Senate bill authorizing the conm struction of a bridge over the Tennes see River at or near Knoxville, and time Iouse bill for the relief of settlers on Northern Paci lic Rail Roaid in demni tv lands were taken from the calendar and passed, the latter with a substitute. Several Congressmoen and the Speak er were in the chamber when these bills were passed. Keep Still. In one of IDr. Burton's Yale lectu~res the following advice was given to the yong ministers; -- When tirouble is brew me, lkecep still. When slander is gettumg on his legs keep still, till vou recover from your excitement at any r-ate. Thmgs look (lifl irently~ thirouighi an iuagitatedl eye.

She at once went in search of him anl broght him home lavishing upon him a moth er's love and care. Although in form, feature and color identical with the missing Andrew Youngblood, some of the neighbors doubted his identity, be cause lie did not seem to recognize old acquaintances; but he allayed all sus picions by saying he had only preten led not to know them. Soon after his return home his moth er told him his old sweetheart was still single, and that she thought it his duty to marry her. So, taking the ad vice of his n6ther, he sought the hand of the dusky damsel, and they were soon married, and seemed to live very hap pily together until July 5, when the young man wentdown to Edisto River and coi mitted suicide by drowning himsefl.

An Abbeville Tragedy Revived with Pe niliar Circunstance. This quiet village, just across the .sa vannalh river has !ong bwn a haven for divorce seekers fromi Sou th Carolina. on aecconuit of the stringent divorce I iW., in that State. says a 1Iartwell (Ga.) special to the New York World. One of the divorce cases to be settled soon is of great interest. The plaintiff is Irs. Jenmne Glymph, and she asks the court to grant her an absolute divorce from her husband, George, with the privilege of resuining nier maiden naine, Jennie Townsend. At the last term of the superior court she was granted legal separation from her husband, the verdict in the absolute aivorce to be rendered at the coming term of the court. In her petition she gives the following account of her life, which is substantiated by abundant evidence : Twenty-three years aogo there was born to the Townsends. one of the first families of South Carolina. an only daughter. This child was reared in wealth, given every comfort and indulg ence. Her beautv was remarkable, and she had many suitors for her hand and heart. Prominent among these were John and George Glymph, the former being about her own age, and his broth er being about twenty-five years old. To the younger of the brothers the girl gave her heart and nromised her hand The older brother gave up all hope of winning the girl and appeared soon to have lived down his love. When she was seventeen years old -Miss Townsend was being educated in a prominent seminary in her native State, but her love for John Glymph did not abate, and he proposed an elope ment andi a marriage at a neigh boring minister's and she offered no objection. Ile was to meet her about eight o'clock at night in the grounds of the seminary and take her in a carriage to the minis ter's house. The young man took his brother into his confidence. John was delayed by something happening, and George went to the grounds to quiet the young lady's anxiety. When George reached the rendezvous he found the girl already at the appointed spot and anxiously awaiting her lover. Tne night was yery dark, and as soon as he came in sight she mistook him for his younger brother-whom he very much resembled--arid flew into his arms. Without correcting her he lifted her into the buggy in which he came and drove to a friend's, where they were married. This was made possible by the peculiar marriage laws of South Carolina, which neither requiress. mar riage license nor a minister to perform a legal ceremony, but simply to consent in tie presence of two witnesses. The girl had not seen the face of the man she had married until he carried her to his home, and when she discovered her fatal error she was crazed with grief. John Glymph, when he reached the ren dezvous and did not find his sweetheart, was likewise grief-stricken; but when he discovered his brother's perifidy he took his disappointment even harder than Miss Townsend did. Mrs. Glymph succeeded in keepiug the matter a secret. Two daughters were born to the Glymphs, but soon George began to maltreat his handsome wife. When John Glymph heard of this he took a house near the Glymphs, in order to protect his former sweetheart if there should be occasion for so doing. He did so once and was shot and killed by his brother. George was arrested, but was acquitted on a technicality. His wife removed to this place and began divorce proceedings, and there is little doubt but that tbe coming term of court will grant her request. REPUBLJCANS AT SEA. Fifteen Senator,; Opposed to the Election L'ii's Pastage. WAsHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The fourth in the series of Republican senatorial caucusses was held at the Capitol to night and was as ineifuctuial as any of the preceding caucuses so far as definite results are concerned. It was the most important caucus yet held, the most largely attended and the most pointed in the matter of speeches made. Thirty nine senators were present and with the exception of Senator Cullom, who was ill, and Senator Sawyer, every one re mained till adjournment-a very unus ual proceeding. There was an extreme diversity of 'iews manifested and the caucus ad journed1 simply because an agreement was impossible. It was a very unharmo aious meeting. Senators Quay and Cam ron both made speeches and strongly represented the political inexpediency of Ioing anything with the Federal election ill at present and urged the necessity of early adjournment from a party stand point. Senator Aldrich also was on the ide of those who desired adjournment mid was spokesman for those senators vho view the embarrasment and delay >er the tariff bill as out weighing all >ter considerations in deciding tue olicy to be pursued. Senator Plumb dso spoke and it is understood opppos-ed hle election bill out and out. For the friends of the bill which had ~aused these numerous caucuse Senators [ar and Spooner were champions. The atter made a strong speech, which some lenominated "reading the riot act." i~e varned the senators that they must meet he issue squarely. The elections bill nust be passed now-at this session-or iot at all. It would be futile to go before he country with any statement that his bill wvould be passed at the next ses ion. It was of supreme importance hat it should be passed at once. If is emarks brought out sharp remarks rom several of the opponents .to the >ill. The discussion showed that there vas a greater number of senators than as been generally supposed who for one eason or another are willing to adjourn vithout the election bill being acted on. L'he number of these senators is placed it fifteen. Finially about 10:30 an ad ournment was proposed, and was finally orced by a majority vote. This was he only vote taken. A general under tanding prevailed among the senators hat nothing should be given to the >ublic as to the caucus, ano. they refer ed all niewspaiper mreni to Senator Ed nunds, who is wvell known as an opp~on ut of puiblicity in such matters. The ~ermont senator was chairman of the aucus. One Must be a Republican. T H E G overncr of South Carolina has icu making sonic remarks to the Presi lent of the United States.

IHis attention wvas aled to the matter by the President, nd the G;overnor repled that he appoin edl two Democrats because there was 10 Republican in the State of South arolina to whom he was willing to in rust so responsible a duty. The law n the subject is plain, however. and he question now Is whether the com nission of one of the commissioners ~om South Carolina is not invalid.

Copp, Cleveland, 0. Regarding the cause of the accident Division Superintendent French, of the Old Colony road, said last night: "We have not made an investigation, but from what we can learn it appears that the section men, who were at work on the track. had what we call a 'track jack' on the rails, and that they had it on when the train came flying around the curve. From all indications, although we don't know it officially, the jack was not taken out when the train came up. Whether or not the danger signal was set will not be known till the official in vestigation Thursday." A Globe reporter, in prosecuting his investigations, found in a lot of weeds, beside the track near the bridge, the jack which is supposed to have caused such terrible loss of life. Marks of the flanges of wheels were plainly cut in the heavy tool and it bore evidences of having been run over by a train of cars. The sides of the socket of the casting to receive the handles by which the weight is raised were pressed close together and a large hole was cut through the casting and the bottom of the casting was broken off. The foreman of the section gang, named Welch, could not be found last evenmng. _______ Hot Springs. Have you ever visited Hot Springs? Alas 1 You meet while there so many instances of terrible blood poison, evi denced by disfigurement of face and form. Hither, rush sufferers from scro fula, syphilis, eczema, salt rheum, ul cers, blemished skin, twisted and ach ing joints, limbs made crooked by rheumatism, etc., etc. Some find relief, some do not and come away poor in purse and grieviously disappointed. It costs money to visit and sojourn at Hot Springs. The experiment of going there cannot be indulged in without considerable expence. How thankful then should everyone be to know there is a remedy even more beneficial in cases of blood poison than Hot Springs. We refer to Botanic Blood Balm (B B B) as to its merits thousands will testi fy. Z. T. Ilallerton. Macon, Ga., writes: "I contracted blood poison. I first tried physicians, and then went to Hot Springs. I returned home a ruined man physically. Nothing seemed to do me any good. My mother persuaded me to try B B B. To my utter antonishment every ulcer quickly healed." Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., says: "Some years ago I contracted blood poi son. I had no appetite, my digestion was ruined, rheumatism drew up my limbs, so I could hardly walk, my throat was cauterized five times. Hot Springs gave me no benefit and mylife was one of torture until I gave B B B a trial, and surprising as it may seem, the use of five bottles cured me." A Deed of Heroism.. ANDERSON. S. C., August 19.-Main street w~as the scene on yesterday after noon of a deed of heroism seldom equal led, in which Frank Miller. a young ne gro man, was the hero. A horse driven by Mrs Schirmer. her mother-in-law ad a little girl being with her in the carriage. became frightened at the engine of the Rough and Ready Fire Company, which was throwing water on the square, and ran away. Frank Miller, who was stand ing on the sidewalk near the National Bank, seeing the runaway ran out and caught hold of the harness, and after running some distance at the side of the horse and seeing that he would have to turn loose or be struck against a post toward which they weare fast approaich ing, he gave one bound and leaped upon the back of the running animal, and gathering up the lines, succeeded in bring ing him to a standstill. No one was hurt, although the ladies were dread fully frightend and one of them fainted. A handsome purse was at once made up and persented to the rescuer, who had no doubt saved the lives of these ladies at the risk of his own. It was a noble act, and one that cannot be too highly commended.-News and Courier. A Terrible Story. BrnMrNorAM. ALA., August. 17.

One party of ten came out of the mine first, and waited at the mouth of the shaft for the other party. When the second party came out they were attacked by those above ground.
