Deafness Cannot b* Cured
by local applications, as they oannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that la by constitutional
remedies . Deafness Is oaused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Kustaohian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a tumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely olosed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal oondltlon, hearing will be
destroyed forever t nine cases out of
ten are oaused by oatarrh, which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaoes.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused bv
oatarrh) that oannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The Sumter District Conference met
at Kershaw last week, Presiding Elder

The attendance was very good, and
conference was e'egantly entertained
by Kershaw's hospitable people.
We were in attendance upon the ses
sions of the conference, Thursday
and Friday. Our esteemed friend, Mr.
T). R. Fletcher, had us in charge, and
gave us a particularly cordial welcome.
"Rich" is si whole-souled fellow and
one of our best friends, and it was es
pecially pleasant to be with him.
Thursdayafternoon he gave us a buggy
ride, and let us see the more interest
ing places of this thriving town. We
do not know that we have but a sin
gle orlticlBtn to make of Kershaw, and
as we were so kindly treated by every
one, we have a good notion not to make
the criticism, but we will. We notioed
that her merchants were not as gener
ous to their olerks ss the Camden
merchants are to their clerks In that
they do not close up very early, Our
merchants close up at 0 o clock, so that
the olerks can have some recreation,
but the Kershaw merchants do not.
They are, nevertheless clever business
people, and perhaps had never con
sidered this matter.
We were delighted with our visit
among them, ana shall not fall out
with them if they do not get to closing
np at six o'olock in the evenlngR, and
let their olever olerks havoa little rec

LIFE.
Life if sustained by various compli
cated functions of the animal or vege
table being. Though in man we know
that the beating or the heart, sending
through oar veins that Uf ? giving fluid,
blood, supports life, yet, in order that
the "fountain of life" may properly
perform its duty, the Muscular Ner
vous, Ubspitory, Excretory, and Di
gestive systems must act lu harmony
with It. xNo one can answer definitely
what life Is, for this Is a problem to be
solved only in the Hereafter, Now
what leeaous do wo draw from life?
Why all; there is nothing, but what we
see illustrated by life. The eoonnmlats
may produce theory after theory, but
they do not form so oonvincive an ar
gument as that brought forward by the
plant. It sheds ita leaves; they, fall*
ing around Its roots, decay and nourish
the plant, the next season reappearing
as new branches, twigs and leaves.
Again life teaches us the advantage
of working together, for if one of the
various systems should fail to do Its
v\ork, life would cease. Sympathy la
another lesson; for through the means
of the Sympathetic nervous system, if
one organ be effected, the others wlJl
a?8o be retarded in their fUnctlona.
Now is there no ulfferenoe In life?
>V hy yes, man lives forever, but the
brutes and plants perish. Man la im
mortal, for though nls bwly perish, his
soul survives. Death is not his ex
tinction, but his entrance Into immor
tality. For as the aoorn, with its germ
surrounded by the cotyledons, is alive,
but it does not attain Ita perfect life
until the cotyledons die and the germ
then bursts torth. So with life; our
present bodies the cotyledous, our soul
the germ, we never come into perfect
life until the body is dead, and the aoul
assumes immortality.
_ E. O. DePass.

LIFE.
A man's life if the space of time that
God has given him to do his part of
work in the Great Design that will not
be completed until the Angel of God
shall stand with one foot on the land
and the other on the sea and shall
thunder forth the awful words, "Time
was, Time is, but Time shall be no
more."
But it lies with man whether he will
make use of his opportunity and help
to make this Great Design of Life
beautiful and faultless, or a mass of
ijluriw and failures Longfellow
says, "Life is real, Life is earnest," and
1 think we sometimes forget this, for
most of us seem to think that thia lit
tle space is an opportunity to have all
the pleasure we can, aud nothing else.
We forget that each act of our lives Is,
as it were, a brick that helps to raake
the building beautiful or worthleaa, ao
cording to tne quality of each brick.
Life is a succession of mysteries, of
thought and of acts that seem to ua
dark mysteries.
And yet a well ordered life is one of
the moat beautiful things that God has
ever set his seal of approval on.
This word that wo are discussing
seems to possess a magic charm, that
can move the strongest and weakest
alike.
Listen to a dying man and you will
almost always hear him pleading for a
little more lite; and, oh, how sorrowful
he feels when bethinks of his, ill-spent
and lost life, and compares it with the
grand successful ones of the shining ex
amples of the world .
We have been looking only at the
human life, but will now turn to the
vegetable and animal life of the world.
First start at the Equator and there
we will And a great variety of vegeta
ble growth, of birds with brilliant,
plumage, of animals with every con
ceivable form and color. In this re
gion the rivers are teeming with alli
gators, rhinoceroses and many kind of
strange animals.
As we go northward we find the use
ful animals, such as the horse, cow,
sheep and many others.
This Temperate Zone is the region of
large trees and most of the cereals.
But when we reach the Frigid Zone,
we are in the beautiful glittering world
where great icebergs come gilding down
the streams, and where the fu^-bearlng
animals delight to frolic In the icy
waters. In this region the vegetable
growth is soanty, and only moss, lich
ens and Or trees art; found there.
When the great Aurora Borealis is
sending its beautiful floods of oolored
light on every thing, and lighting up
this whole frozen region, I know it
must look like Fairyland. Certainly
the little people who inhabit this re
gion must enjoy the lovely scene.
Although this life is very sweet and
beautiful to us, surely we would not be
satisfied to let it slip away without our
thinking and preparing for the beauti
ful world that we may all Inhabit if we
want to do so.

LIFB,
There are many various views and
ideas of life. By some, it is looked
npon as a "passing shadow i" by
others, as only an "idle dream/' more
gleasant to some than to others,
ome say that life is simply a "prepa
ration for death ;" poets speak of it
as a "fleeting breath." Bnt there is
one great conclusion whioh all mnst
agree npon, that is that life is just
what you make it. Let na think of
life as a great piotnre One aide is
bright and beantifnl, the other is
dark and uncertain. Every o&e has,
at some time in life, had the deoision
to make for themselves aa to whioh
aide of this piotnre they wonld look
npon. Or think cf life as having
only two roads, one of which leads to
better things, the other to worse.
Theee two waya have been pointed
ont to ns, and we know them very
well by the experience of those who
have gone before ns; bo when we
younger ones stand npon the thresh
hold and have it in onr power to de
oide on whioh road we will go, there
is no exouse for making an eiror. If
we ohoose the wrong way, we aoon
find ourselves enoirofed by olonds of
tiouble and misfortune. We then
realize that it wonld have been so
mnch better to have done, as onr
seniors advised us to do. It is ..his
class of peoplo *b'\ when they see
their mistake too late, in their ditpair ,
give vent to their feelings by Speak
ing bi:ter trnth, "Life is not worth
lining " Those words are spoken by
many, but if their life is not worth
li\ing, they have no one to blame but
themselvea.
Home boysbeootne di soon raged very
early in life, because their circum
stances are uri favorable; they should
not do this. If they will take illus
trations from history, they will see
that some of oar greatest men were
"self-made" They should let this
encourage them to pave a way for
themselves, to strive harder and, by
the aid of their friends, rise to promi
nence.
We are now standing npon the
threshold of life. Will we live bad,
worthless livee, ones thst will help to
drsg hnmsnity down, or will we live
pure blameless livee, ones that may
be held un before the world as beoon
lights? We alone can answer this
most important of questions.

OU AT INVENTIONS AND 1HSOOVKHIKH.
From the primitive ages down to
the present time, man ban constantly
been lift ing himself by various in
vent ioos and discoveries from tbe ob
scure state which he first oooupied.
' The inventions wb'ob have bene
fited the world moat are, printing,
tbe steam engine and boat, and tbe
tleotrio telegraph. Printing was first
tiaed by the Chinese, batGotenburg
and Faust of Germany invented
fltovable type. This art has been
greatly improved npon, and now holds
each a prominent place in the civi
lised world that it would be almost
impossible to do without it As a
general role, discoveries lead to io
ventions, as when tbe power of stesm
was discovered by Watts, it was soou
applied to the steam engine, wbicb
was in sented by Stephenson, also to
tbe steam boat, whioh was invented
bv Fulton. After Frankiiu discovered
electricity, Prof. Morse invented the
wonderfnl electric telegraph. Tbe
benefit wbicb these inventions are to
tbe world is almost incalculable. It
ia indeed a stride from where all
news had to be oarried by post mau
and horse-man. The news of battles
fought in Greeoe yesterday is sent
by cable to New York, instantly from
tbexe bv telegraph, to all important
oities; during tbe night it ii printed,
and the next morning the papers are
sent, by fast mail trains, to all parts
of the country. Thtos the news or the
old world is made known to us in
about twentypfonr hours. The dis
covery of the Roselta Stone ay Cham
pOftlion is of great value to history.
It is indeed tbe key to ancient bis-,
tory, for schollara, by comparing tbe
other two forms of writing with tbe
Greek writing upon it, learn to read
in anoient writing. After tbis, tbey
were able to read all the inscriptions
and records found in the EaM,
Edison, the electrioian, has in
vented many wonderful and useful
things. The number of his inven
tions is over three hundred It is
?aid that be playB with electrioity as
obild does with toys I think bis
most wonderful inventions are tbe
telephone and the phonograph.

CORRBNT HISTORY
Id the last year, numerous events of
great importance have occurred all
about over the world, exciting the io
trest of every individual. Irom our
own immediate land to distant and
hitherto remote regions of Europe
and Asia, onr attention is riveted.
We pick op the papers eagerly to see
the latest news of Cuba, Armenia,
Crete and Greece.
First came the Venezuelan trouble,
whioh concerns us directly, when
"pncle Sam" shewed the world that
his rights were not to be overlooked,
nor his principles trodden npon. Tbo
Monroe Doctrine was brought into
prominence, and our great system of
arbitration called into power to pre
vent war; the treaty is uot yet com
pleted bnt is now before Congress
The Cuban War, which haB been go
ing on about a year and a half, is
?till in progree?, though the two
armies have not been as aotive of
late. The whole United States has a
feeling of great sympathy with the
Ottbans, as we, ourselves were in tbo
same position abont a century and a
quarter ago. Many men have smug
gled shiploads of powder to these
brTve defenders of their rights, and
enthusiastio sympathizers have sailed

Every Christian Nation has looked
on the war between Armenia and
Turkey with keen expectation. Yet
not one of them has interfered, by
nord or power, to prevent the awful
massacres of the poor armenians
The Turks were allowed to continue
their bloody oonauestB, immersing
the whole oountry in its native blood;
aod the Christian powers, to uphold
some deluding policies, have allowed
suoh depredations to be inflicted
upon a helpless ohriscian people.
Surely the times must be degene
rated! - The Turks allowed to pur
sue their inhumaine course, next at
tacked the Christians in the iBle of
Crete, and the Greekp, out of love for
their daughter colony and showing a
spark of their former hatred of op
pression, did more than the stronger
nations dared, or would not do? they
helped the oppressed. That step, of
course, involved a train of eveuts.
War was declared between Greece
aqdJTurkey, and the Greeks with the
dlharaoteristic energy of their fore
fathers, set to work to resist the
oruelties of the Turks. Although
Prinoe Constantino was everywhere
victorious at first, it is plainly seen
that these valiant martyrs cannot
Lold out long, even although they
havo a "Joan of Arc" to lead them on
to victory.
Besides the wars, whioh have the
most far-reaohing effeots, there have
latelj been very deetrootive floods in
the lower Mississippi valley, oausing
great loss of property and distress
A great fire broke out in Paris a day

whioh many of the nobility were
killed, and still more severely woun
