From the western shore a flotilla ru out; nota squadron or deadly artma:m, non clipper with valuable merchandise. nor :i ratic vessels ready to destroy everything th e could seize, but a flotilla. bearing rmessengern of life and light and peace. Cti.: i- -" the fro:.t of the boat. ills disciples are in a smaller boat. Jesus. weary w:. muca speaking to large multitudes. is put into somnolence by the reeking of the waves. If there was any motion at all. :he hip was easily righted. If the wind passed frc:a one side, from the starboard to the lar ard or from the larboard to the starboard, 1: boa: would rock, and.by the gentleness of: motion putting the Masier asleep. Aui t}ey extemporized a pillow made out of a "g. man's coat. I think no sooner is Chr:st prostrate and his head touching the pil'w. 'than he is sound aleep. The breezes o: tue lake run their fingers through the locks of the worn sleeper, and the boat rises an1 falls like a sleeping child on the bosoin of a sleeping mother. Calm night, starry night. beauti:l ni;ht. Run up all the sails, ply all the oars. an:. let the large boat and the small boat glide over gentle Gennesaret. But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weavier. And even the passengers can hear the moQ . ing of the storm as it comes on with ")-g stride, with all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at bay trembling among the clangor o. the hounds: great patches of foam are trag into the air; the sails of the vessels loosen, and the sharp winds cra:k like pistols: the small boats like petrels pcie on the cliff of the waves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, tack:ing and masts, the drenched disciples iush into the back part of the boat and lay hold of Christ and say to hit. "Master, carest thou not that we perish." That great personage lifts his head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat. walks to the front of the vessel and looks out into the storm. All around him are the smaller boats, driven in the tempest, and through it comes the cry of drowning men. By the lass of the lightning I see the ca.lm brow of Chrin: as the spray dropped from his beard. lie has one word for the sky' and another went for the 'waves. Looking upward he cries. "Peace:" Looking downward he says, '"Be The 'waves fall fiat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars relight their torches. The tempest falls dead and Chris: stands with his foot on the neck of the storm. And 'while the sailors are bailing out the boats and 'while they arc trying to un tangle the cordage the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea. then into the calm sky, then into the caltm of the Saviour's countenance, and then cry out, "What manner of man is this, that even the 'winds and the sea obey himT' The subject in the first place impresses me 'with the fact that it is very importan: to have Christ in the ship, for nil those boats 'would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lessorn for you and for me to learn: What. ever voyage we undertake, into 'whatever enterprise 'we start, let us always have Christ in the ship. MIany of you in these days of revived commerce are s:arting out. in new financial enterprises. I bid you good cheer. Do all you can do. Do it on as hig'n a plane as possible. You have no right to be a stoker in the ship if yotu can be an aut miral of the navy. You have no right to be a colonel of a regiment if you can comnar~d a brigade. You have no right zo be engi neer of a boar on river banks or near the coast if'you can rake the ocean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do. 'with utmost tension ot body, mind and so:n!, you are bound to do: but, oh, have Christ i every enterprise, Christ in every voyage. Christ in every ship: There are men 'who ask God to help them at the start of great enterprises. lHe has been with them in the past. No troutble can overthrow them. The storms might come down from the top of MIount liermon and lash Gennesaret into foa? and into agony-. but it could not hurt thems. But here is an other man 'who starts out. in worldly enter prises, and he depends upon the uncertain ties of this life. He has rno God to help him. After awhile the storm comes and tosses off the masts of the ship. H e puts out his life boat. The sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off'. They can't help him oti. lie must go down. No Christ in the ship: Here are young men just starting out in life. Your life 'will be made up of sunshine and shadow. There may be in it arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes. I know not wh::t is be foeyou, but I know if you have Christ wi: you all shall be well. You may seem to get along without the re ligion of Christ while e'vey t-in -ok smoothly,' but after awile, whe -orr-'w hovers over the soul, 'when'the waves ftrs dash clear over the hurricane deck an h bowsprit is shivered, and te ha ly..ds ":( swept into the sea, and the gangwy crowded with nracticai disasters-on.W t would you then do witrout Chis " nth ship?

The Generai Oatiook -Weekn y Buntiit.zin of the Weath)r inareaui Ined Lrast Week by Director B.ner. The following weekly tatemient of the crop and weather conditions for this section has been served by Direct or Bauer: TEIMPERATURE. The first of the week was beloe the normal temper ture and the latter part decidedly in excess. Day temit perstures were high with maximum of 1(1 on the 2Sh at Liberty. Daring the early portion of the week she nichts were cool with a minimum temperature or 57 on the 23., 24th and 25:h at Walhalla. The weekly mean temnerature of 46 reporting stations was 7;, while the noratal for the same period is about 77. There was but little rain during the week and was continued to light local showers over the extreme western, northwestern, norther-n aod southeast ern counties on the 23, 24th and 25:h. Tre central counties were without rain :ne erntire week. With the ex ception of the little rainfall just nocd, the mcasurements reported this week refer to the rain of the 21st, which fell too late to be inrluded in last week's reports and should be credited to the previoas ;wee's rainfall. Twenty-one measurements of less than an inch were received, 10 of from 1 to 2 inches, and four of over 2 inches, with a maximum fail of 4.50 at White Hall. The normal for the week is approximately 1.4S, and the average ofall measurements is 1.00. Light hail accompanied a rain storm in E:igeneld over Toibert and adjoin ing townships on the 23, doing consid erable injury to crops. A severe nlail storm occurred about seven miles from Charleston on the evening of the 29th, with hail-stoh es ranging in size f rom peas to chesnuts, and dam ain corn seriously over a lii~ited area. There were a few local high winds. which, ho wever, did no injury. The sunshine was largely in excess of the normal and ranged from 60 to 100O per cent. of the possible, with an average per cent, of $2 for the State. GENERAL RENARKS The week's weather w,:. very favor able for harvesting rice, making hay, pulieg fodder, digging potatoes, nicking cotton and also favorable for growing crops generally. Worms and caterpillars have almcst entirely disappeared and are confined to limit ed areas in a few counties only. Sea sonable farm work advanced rapidly during the week. The reports on cotton are with few exceptions unfavorable to the crop and note deterioration in condition in every county except York, Spartan burg. Oronee and portions of Marion. Chester, Sumter. Lauces, Anderson, Abbeville and Green tvood, where on heavy soils the plant continues to grow and hold the fruit it puts on. Over the remainder of the State gen erally. there is excesive shedaing of quares and young bolls, and on 11,.ht sandy soils the plant is apparently dying rapidly and is done fruiting. Black rust is prevalent, and im places entire fields arte alfected. Worms also did some damage, especially in ..Cer saw. The prcepects for a top crop are poor, ahthough over conidterable aress, as already noted, a tep crop is making. Cotton opened rapidly dating the week and central counties picking, ginning and marketing the crop has fairly begun and will become general over the State during the weeck. A 'ew correspondents stated that the nt is of a high grade and a few re ported some damage to open cotton by the rains of the previous week. Sea island cotton is not materially injured and seemingly does not share in the general deterioration of upland cottou. The first bale of saa island cotton for the season of 1877 was re ceived in Charleston on the :35th of August. Corn is materializing rapidly and is all about made. Its conditions and probable yield varies grea'ij, both s to early and late corn, bat generally late corn is very ffne and early corn by no mEans a poor crop. Worms ar danmaginog corn in Beaufort. Fcader pulling was general during the week and was favored by the waher.

It ras been carefully c-sidered by the suthoritie: and no doubt Gov error Ele decided on his course i: doin away with the constabulary in towrs and cities, after a mature con -Psider"ation. The chief executive told of his de ermjination in an "oi'-hand" way, and what he said was: On October 1, 1 will withdraw all constables from the towns and cities of the s:te. A few men will be em olo;ed in the rural districts to en Sorce the law because in such v-ci nities, there are no policemen. The moonsii,ers in the upper part of the state viil have to be watched and, cs~ecially in such quarters men should be' statione d. --The enforcement of the law in the toans and cities will be left entirely to the municipal authorities, and they will be expected to euforce the provi sions of the law. I ask their support and co operation in the matter as no constable who is stationed in a rural district will make any arrest or seiz ure in a town or city." "Well, governor, suppose the town authorities are derelict in their duty towads the law, what then?" was ask:ed, The chief executive replied by say ing that he was mking no threats in the matter, but that he felt that the mu nicipalities would adhere to the law and strictly carry out its provisions. The governor said that policemen would ie expected to watch the rail road depots, and seiz all contraband in speaking about t he cost for the maintenance of the constabulary, Gov ernor Ellerbe stated , hat last year it cost the State $52,036 6d, and when .he new plan is put into operation, this enormous expense would be practical ly wiped out. "This expense can be saved and the law better entorced with the sympathy of the towns," add ed the governaor: I give this notice," continued the chief executive, "of my intention to disband the constabulary on October 1, at this time, so that the forty odd men now on the force may seek oth e employment." The governor was questioned about the constables who are no w stationed in Charleston, and he said every men. ber of the constabulary as now consti tuted would be dismnissed on October I, and that it wouin be incumbent upon the city authorities of Charleston as well as every other city or town in the state to thoroughly enforce the law.

I ~ Peanut OHl. IThe first peanut oil factory in the United States will be established in Norfoin, Va., at an early date. The oil is highly valued in Europe, as it stated that fully $5,000,000 worth of peanuts are brought into Marseilles annually for tae manufacture of oil, which is used in toilet soaps and for other purposes. Tue peanut flour is quite extensively used in Europe and made into bread, cases, biscuits, &c. It is one of the favorite articles of food, according to consular reports, in hospitals in Germany. The capi tal stock of the peauiut company is $60,00, and it is operating under the patents of Mr-. Weatherly, which coy er- t':e mnachinery and methods of dis crtcating the kernel of the inter skin.

After a quiet dav Senator Tillnan was esecrrd over to Ridgewood Park, acesc.oe pc c ;roundc on the out skir's o Br y where the mass meting he was to addrers was to be held. It was a most urdesirable pice to hod a meetin,yet the crowd was a bi.z one, more than :3, J men bein, in the pavion. Henry Nicholis presided over the meeting and made a short spceeh, in which he extolled the provisions of the Chicago platform and berated the Democrats who left the party because of it. Tillman was introduced as the "the people's advocate and the foeman of the Sugar Trust and every other form of monopoly." His speech was not arzumeut, but assertion, interspersed with jtsta and jeers. Here are some of the thir es he said: "The Dauccracy was born 100 years ago and went down to defeat in its firs: struggle through the eforts of the aristocrats. A new, regeneratcd Dc mccracy was born in Chicago last year, and it went down to its first de ieat under the blows of the aristccrats and the influence of the tens of mit lions of tribute levied upon them by Mark Hanna. But just as sure as you live that regenerated De:nocracy will come to the front again in 1900 and will elect William Jennings Bryan. (Prolonged cheering.) "The Republican party in its thirty years of rule succeeded, with the aid of an occasional so called Democratic nresident. in emancipating the black slaves of the south, but it made white sla-:es of the working people of the north. "In 1,60 the millionaire was a rare bird, but now there are thousands of them all over the country, and there are some men even wiLh $200.000,0U0. It is millionaires by the thoasands now, but it is paupers by the millions. Riad the history of Rome. of Athens, and of great empires which stood where there is nothing but wilderness, now, and you will find that they fell because the few enslaved the many, and then governments became cor rupt. Wake up, or befcre you know it you will have a king: 'Why is it that here in New York you always have a political boss? It is because you are such infernal 1001s that you don't know any better than to carry a yoke around your neck. 1You have jast been swapping bosses Lere year af ter year. Tne boss runs the machine which names the candi I nates, and then you just go and vote thse ticket like a lot of blind asses. (laughter.) "Who did you send to re present you "A lot of dirty dogs. 3houted a ihster er. "You sent a delegation with Whit ney and Belmont and Flower at its he ad," Senator Tillman went on,"and they traveled west in parlor cars to keep the Democratic party from dis gracing itself. 'But the west and the south had risen, and they found out that New York, Pennsylvania and INew England wvere not the whole Urred States, and by God they ain't! " W by, in your local campaign here athey are asking you to give up all you won as Democrats last year. IWhat for?

But you say you have no money to run your cam pugna.

Mzonay after ,.t the fair grounds, he made a s, e' oh uitdr. the aus;ices of the Pat roLs of Arerica and the Bimetallic eag u of Troy and Albany. When the South Carolinian walked into the Troy house he was a tired man, but a flash of fire appeared in his right eye when risked whether he had read The Sun's story about what cx Senator Irby had sid in a recent stump speech in M4annin^, S. C. In that speech Irby declared that Tillman had been made coverror by a falsifdentien of the pre liiay v .ute. "Well," said the senator, as he dr'oe d in"o the nearest seit. "so far as I know there was no cheating. The prcceedings of the convention, as far as my knowledge goes, were entirely re gur.Why, Irby and I have tai'-ed .bout the matter time and time agcin. The chairman of the conven tion was friendly to my interests. He influenced the change in votes on the second ballot which carried the nomi nation by one vote. If there was any fraud I don't know anything about it. I was not there. I do not believe that I was 'cheated in.' Irby is a sharp politician and likes to talk." "What do you thin k of the tactics being pursued by Itby?" Well, I suppose they are consid ered good politics. As I said before, Irby is a very shrewd man." "What show does he stand of get tir. the senatorial indorsement?" was athed. "oh, as for that," replied the sena tor dryiy, "why. really, 1 don't care to express ar.y opinion. Ir by is sharp, very sharp." "But do you think he will carry the primary next Tuesday ?" The senator looked up at the big clock ticking away on the wall, hummed a bar or two of the "Ei Cap tan" march, and then said: "Oh, I don't know. Just watch the primary. The man who captures it will go to the United States senate. Toe legislature is bound to carry out the will of the people thus expressed." "What do you care to say about Irby's statement that he hatched you." "Tfat's all talk," answered the sen ator somewhat contemptuoasly. "Hatch me, indeed." "Irby says that he originated the March convention a year back to give you the nomination on a silver wait er." "So I sce. Why, that March affair wasn't a convention: it was merely a caucus of 1%mocratic factions. At the t me there was some doubt as to the wisdom of the nomination. In fact, there was considerable feeling en the matter. Now, as to Irby's re lation to me politically. Irby has al ways been a smart politician. I think I said that before. He proved an ex cellent lieutenant to me. He takes a 2reat deal upon nimself whcn he says he made me," said the senator, with a merry laugh. "What about prosperity, senator?2" "I can't say that I have seen any very material evideraces of it during my travels. What prosperity there is I think is only spasmodic, a hot- bal loon affair that will soon collapse. This w heat boonm is merely speculative and is designed to aid Mark Hanna. There is not such a wonderful crop of wheat as some people would have oth ers believe. If there is I can't get any proof of the fact. Prosperity ? Why, the country will not be prosperous un til the farmer gets out of debt. The story that the so called big wheat crop will take the farmer out of debt is nonsense. Suppose that the west does profit some. What of it? Won't it be at the expense of you people nere in the east? If wheat goes up, so will the price of bread. And I understarnd that the bakers of Troy have already increase:1 the price of bread. Is it so? Done at a meetmng held last night, eh? Well, I was right, wasn't I?' Then the senator drifted to the tariff bill. "The Dingley tariff bill," he said, "is the most infamous surrender to trusts I ever heard of. It is nositively appalling. I- will do more to harm tnis country and check prosperity than anything ever heard of dreamed about.. The denreciation of silver has not lessened the senator's ardor for the white metal. Neither has it decreased his admiration for William Jennings Bryan. "If Mr. Bryan were to be voted for cday for President," he said, '"he wculd be elected by an over whelming vote. The campaign in which he so brilliantly figured was one of the most remarkable in the his:ory of the world. He revivified, invigoratea, enthused, and electrified what was re garded at one timne an absolutely hope less cause.' The Doctor's Ministry.

Ui:d Stai-s no one pro C-r: one hua2:dthou.sard ta a bushel r.f ..at to dissose of, so the numb.ur to e benefi'Sed by doli wheat is very smail inde d. The dollar trice at this time is a mere accident. If there had oeen the usual good yield abroad, with the ]arge yield we have here at hcme wheat would command not nce than nity cents a bushel now. and would be fed, as it was a few years ago, when we had a large crop, to our liev stock. A mere teraporarv relief has come to the wheat farmers of this country at this time, because of cruel drouths and unpropitious weati er in most of the cer wheat producing sections of the world. Or wheat farmers' good fortune is based on the misfortunes of wheat farmers in other sections of the world, and it is a very weak foundation to base the presperi ty of the world upon. At the best it primarily reaches but one class of nroducers, and that a small class. If we could have dollar corn and ten cent cotton for this year's product, it would reach every farmer, for every farmer raises corn and cotton and has it to sell. It is true by helping the wheat farmer, other classes to a greater or less extent will be benefitted, for he will be enabled to pay the interest on his mortgage indebtedness, to pay his store bills, taxes, etc., to rpatron ize mechanics and merchants, and all will feel more or less the ben efits of the influx of money from abroad into his pockets. But will the present increased price of wheat be any index to any permanent prosperi t3 ? Does it give any assurance that we will have dollar wheat a year from now? On the other hand does it not give the assurance that in a year from now, wheat will be begging for buyers at fifty cants a bushel or less, unless some great and world-wide calamity should again befall the crop? We have been watching closely for a quar ter of a century the result of such un expected upheavals in price of certain farm crops, and we here make a pre diction that one year from now wheat will be selling at half the price it is today. The increase in price will stimulate production the world over. It will not be confined to this country, for the price is high everywhere. More wheat will be planted and be put in the ground in better condition, and be better fertilized in France and Eng land, in Russia and Prussia. in Tur key and India and in Argentine and indeed in all countries where wheat can be grown, than has been planted for years. The higher price of this year will stimulate all wheat growers to plant more laagely with the expec tation that such prices will be main tained. Oar own American farmers will travel the same road. History will repeat itself. Over production is as sure to come another year as the year itself is to come, and nothing but seme great world-wide calamity can prevent it. Where will be the sweet consolation then, with 'vheat at forty or fifty cents a bushel, which many of our friends are now enjoying over the great general prosperity which dollar wheat is bringing to our coun try. It is a false hope, because it ap plies to but one farm crop out of a hundred-the others being still in the slough of despond. We should be able to lock at things squarely in the face. Some Happy Farmers. "The return of prosperity and the ieign of dollar wheat with its blescing of financial relief to the farmer is an old story," says the Augusta Chroni cle. "We have seen a few statements going the rounds of the press of a Kansas farmer who bought a small farm last y ear, on credit, and paid for it with this year's wheat crop, and other farmers who have paid off mort gages on ineir farms. We do not know how well authenticated these stories are, and where names are given they are not known so far from here. But it is our pleasure to be able to furn ish this morning a galaxy of names that shine in the agricultural firmament and are kno wn not only to farmers, but the world at large. These are men who have taken the tide of dol lar wheat 'at its full' when it led on to fortune, and their fellow farmers, all over the country, will rejoice in their prosperity. Ex Secretary Frances with a fe w congenial spirits cornered the wheat market of St. Louis and raked off $2,000, 000 for their syndicate. Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, is said to have made a profit of $723, C00 in' his wheat speculat ions thus far. J. Pierpoat Morgran, of New York has gathered in $700,000. Phillip D. Ar mour, head of the beef trust, has gained $350,000. John Cudahy, the rig Chicago pork packer, has won $280,000U, while ex Governor Flower who recently distinguished himself by delivering an address in defence of the trusts, have harvested the modest little sum of $t25,000. This is a hap py lot of horny-handed sons of toil whose good fortune will bring good cheer to agriculhural interests." An Old Crocodile. Oae of the most interesting spei mens in the British- Museum is a croc odile more than 2.000 years old. It is a big, well preserved speclmen and on its back there is a whole~ family of little crocodiles. Years Lb. fore the Christian era the Efyptians worship ed crocediles among their animal cei ties, and many specimens were k- pt at great expense in their parks atnd royal gardens, where they wer tended by priests and given all sori- of dainty morsels fcr fcod. When these crocodile gcas die they are embalmed and placed in the tonbs tlo:zgm the mnummie-sof other sacredi ammals. Tnis particular crocodile was prepared by dipping it in wax and pitch, which rendered it hard and shiny, and it lay in one of the pyramids century after century, until tne Egyptian govern ment dug it cut and presented it to the British museuum.

When the present governor of Michi gaa was mayor of Detroit he proposed that all the vacant lots in the city sbculd be planted in potatoes for the poor. He was subjectel t2 much ridi cule on account of this scheme, and "Potato" Pn tes became famous throughcut the land, Pingree is a man of firm purpose, and he persisted in his plans until those who had tried to laugh it away stood abashed before its practical and beneficent results. Potato patches for the poor have be come part of the fixed policy of De troit's municpal government. No less than 1,536 families that have been dependent upon charity to a greater or less extent are working potato patches this year. Their operations cc. var 403 acres of land, something less aban a quarter of an acre per family. They planted 3.000 bushels of potatoes at 20 cents a bushel, and $3,500 worth of seeds. All that they raise is for their own consumption. The 1,536 families at work represent, according to Mr. P. H. Dwyer, the secretary of the board of poor commissioners, about 10,000 persons or about one twenty-fifth of the entire popula tion cf Detroit. It is said that the Pingree system has done good far be yond a mere temporary supply of food to the pcor. It has taught industry and self dependence and has had an elevating influence on the habits of many who have worked in the Pin gree patches. The experiment suc ceeded so well in Detroit that it has been adopted with some modifications in Chiergo. The difference between the two systems is that while Pingree gardens in Detroit are supplied by the city they are supplied in Chicago by private subscriptions. It is claimed that the Chicago plan works better, but it has not so far distributed its benefits so widely. Chicago has only 149 families engaged in this industry, while Detroit with about one-eighth as much population as Chicago, has at work on Pingree's plan 1,536 fami lies, representing nearly 10.000 per sons. The ofiicial reports show that in Detroit last year 1,700 lots were culi tivated by 1,700 families; the work cost t'se city $2,400, an average cost of $L48Sa lot. The total product was estimated to be worth $3u,998, giving $18.23 worth of vejketables as tthe aver age production of each lot. The re suits this year are expected to be even more satisfactory. L is too late to laugh at Pingree. He is a practical philanthropist, and has helped thous ands of his suffering fellowmen. New Ergiand DriveL. It is surprising to find in the Spring field Republican, a newspaper which has-enjoyed a reputation for sound sense and good judgment, an editorial in which the wiiter says that the af fliction of lynchings in the south is a divine judgment "upon those through whom this offense of negro importa tion and servitude came." The Atlan ta Journal very truly says the Spring field Republican should not permit hy pocrisy and cant to make it obvious to the history of African slavery in this country and the part which New E ag land played in it. The importation of negroes and the establishment of slauery in the United States was al most exclusively a Ne w England in dustry. The south brought some ne groes from Africa to be sold as slaves, but it was long after this section had been largely supplied with slaves by enterpri ing Yankees, who grew rich in the in famous tralie-. Tte exchange of New England ru~n, the worst arti cle of its hind ever made any w here, for aegrees on the c.:aat of Mfrie. was for man~y years a tiriving business. It was found that the negroes could not stand the New Englan~d climate and they were worked off on the south by the ancestors of the people who afterwards oscame horrifi :d at savery and led the movement for its abolition. The main responsibility foi the establisnment of slavery in this country is tired upon Now Eng L: by~' indisputab'le historical evi desce andth:re it will remain.
