"How do ^u prove that we are in a

place, *'Wbat is inan that he should be

in another place, "There Is none tliat

that a mure whim, on undefined longing
amounts to nothing. You must have a
stout, tremendous resolution like this
young man of the text when he said, "1

DANOEK OF ntOCRASTINATIOK,
many wno came just as near as you ate
to the kingdom of God and nevef
tered it? 1 was at East Hampton and
I went in1o the cemetery to'loek
around, and in that cemetery there a**?
twelve graves aide by side? the graven
of Bailors. This crew, some yeaqji ego,
In a ship went into the breakers at
Amagansett, about three miles away.
My- brother: -then preaoh lug at
Hampton, had l>een at the burial.
These men of the crew came verjr near
being saved.
The people from Amagansett saw tbe
vessel, and they shot rocket*, and they
sent ropes from the shore, and these
poor fellows got into the boat, and they
pulled mightily for the shore, but juat
before they got to the shore the rope
pnnpped una the boat capsized and they
were lost, their bodies afterward washed
up on the baach. Oh, what a Solemn
day it was ? I have been told of it by
my brother? when these twelve men
lay nt the foot of the pulpit and he read
over them the funeral service! They
came very near shore? within shout
ing distance of the shore? yat did not
arrive on solid land. There are some
men who come almost to the shore of
God's mercy, but not quite, not quite.
To he only almost saved is not to be
Baved nf all.
I will tell you -of two $FodigMi?, the

did not get back. Jin Virginia there is
a very prosperous and beautiful home
in many respects. A young man wan
dered off from that home. II? wan
dered very far into sin. They beard of
him often, but he was always on the
wrong track. lie would not go home.
At the door of that beautiful home one
night thero was a great outcry, Tbe
young man of the house ran down and
opened the door to see what wes the
matter. It was midnight. The rest of
the family were asleep. There were
the wife and tne children of thfe prodi

Colvmhia, June 20.? Jane ilerritt, a
white woman, was found on a rail road
track here this morning with her head
mashed off and ground to pieces. She
was seen lying ou the track as the train
approached. JJefore it could be stopped
the engine passed over her. From the
fact that the body was cold and stiff
and blood was not flowing when ex
amined a minute or two later it is be
lieved phe was dead long bef ore the en
gine passed.
This added to the fact that along the
bank Jlhero arc evidences of a body be
ing dragged, together with footsteps
creates the suspicion that she was mur
dered. A coroner's jury rendered a
iverdict of death by the hands of a per
fcfm-or prruonK unknown. The theory
iof suicide, is .also ndvauced hb the wo
man was a poor crenture recently dis
charged from the alms house and last
night she was heard to say she would
rather be dead and with the devil rath
er than to live such a life. .

about the premises of the priests and
broke through the nails, eventually set
ting fire to the Cathedral aud other build
ings, after driving out the missiomirie?
and pillaging the palaco.
The mob then proceeded to the English
t-J-Tind deutr ycd cowuiuerable
yV by throwing stones. The ar
rival of Toalai, the local magistrate*, and
the coolness of tho British cousul saved
the buildings from being set on fire. The
cooanl and his wife escaped from the
mob by dressing in Chinese costumes
and hurrying to the custom house, where
they embarked with other foreign resi
dent* in the China Navigation Company's
receiving ship.
A number of forelgness, headed hi'
the consul, armed themselves aud pass
ed the time at tho custom house, and,
assisted by Toatai, repelled the mob,
who twice during the night made an at
tempt to loot and set on fire the custom
house and residences of foreign oiliclals.
The next morning au immense crowd
again set fire to the custom house aud
surrouuding buildings but the eustomes |
staff, fully armed, charged the unlives

ternoon three Chinese gunl>oaU, which
were escorting Sheu Ping Cheng, Gov
ernor of Auhul, up the river, arrived on
the scent, and learning of the riot began
to fire blank cartridges, which had tho
effect of frightening (he mob.
Some two hundred soldiers arrived
from Taipiug Fu, aud this lent addition
al protection to the foreign residents.
The mob did not make any further de
monstration against the Methodist Epis
copal (America) Mission, but, advised
by the British cousul, the missionaries
lrorn that point also em narked on the
iTeuiing, which brought them, together
w'.th the ladies and children ol Wuhu, to
1 Shanghai.
At Chain King the priests, who es
cuj?ed from Wuhu in a loat, were picked
' up. There was ouly one British nmn
i oi-war on the north China station at the
t.nic of the rioi. and the gunboat Lmnett

Teachers' AMOCTntion which ^
ChrT-juooga uext month:
Tho editor and owner of the Palmetto
School Journal has been made the.target
for some sharp shooting by h number of
newspapers, many of whom have
attemptod to attribute to him the lowest
and meanest of motives, and have labor
cd painfully to show that not only this
journal and its editor, but also others,
ave attemptod n hlgb-liauded garue of
treason aud robbery, aud are guilt} ol
jobbery aud incipient rottenness.
The acts of tlie publication and its
owner and editor are always auieuable
to a just and fait public sentiment.
Nothing has been done in the dark.
There h?*s never been auy attempt to
conceal anything.
The Journal came into possession of
its present owner some time last March.
Some negotiations were made with ?
gentleman w^ if. c. priutcr \u Columbia
looking towards the printing ol tho
Journal aud becoming interested in Its
DuVdieatiou in order to advertise his goods
to teachers. No agreemeut was reach
ed. Since that time uo one but mvsulf
has iti auy manner been interested in
the Journal financially or otherwise.
No one has ever been solicited in any
manner, directly or ?indirectly, 0< '.tec. 'un
interested financially or otherwise.
It was with a profound conation
that such, a publication could he made a
great power lor good in the iniprovi ?

most notable instance, i.nd is th<. ulhcial
means of communion. on between the
department of education and Kh.' 1 ofli

The State superintendent ot education
of Arkansas is associate ediu>r of the
Journal oi Education of that State.
A former State superintendent of ed
ucation of Alabama was joint editor of
the educational Exchange aud con
ducted an official department In the
same. He still retains his interest and
edits the publication in question, while
an official department is conducted bv
the present superintendent of education
of that State.
A careful study of the schools and
school system of the State as well as an
experience oi alx or more years has led
to the belief that abetter administration
of tho affairs of the csmmon schools,
under present circumstances, can only
be had by giving the trustees more light
and more assistance in the discharge of
tholr duties.
The only question was how t<> tom b
them. Some 2,100, according to the
report of the Superintendent for 18'.?o.
Alter a good deal of thought the plan
which has brought so much wrath upon
my head was deemed feasible by me,
and a proposition to that effect was
taade to-the -StAte Jloard of Examiners.
The result of this wus uuTu-unceJ i;i it
double-leaded page In the April number
of the Journal (p. 203) which was pub
lished about the last of April or first of
May. This announcement was followed
later by a circular letter which has been
published. That plan was one I con
ceived to be the beBt to effect the ends
desired. It was not in any manner con
cealed or hidden.
There was no schcme to filch money
from the taxpayers, to get xoniethm^
for nothing. In no way were lain teen
forced to take the Journal. Tli? mut
