The sequel to Unit memorable trial and sentence may be rea<l to-day. Dr. Arm- •trong will never preach again. Since his conviction he has been in the Insurance business. Although suspended, ho was still a minister. In Augusta a short time ago he attended an Insurance banquet. It is claimed that he was intoxicated there. He denied it, however, and his friends denied it. Within the last two weeks a number of affidavits have been made to |he effect that he was Intoxicated at the banquet, or on the day afterward. These affidavits were lodged with the authorities of the church, and an Episcopal minister atoaHe Iff Dr. Armstrong that the only way to avoid another trial was to'renounce the-Ministry. Dr. Armstrong at once telegraphed that he would renounce the ministry of the Episcopal Church, and the OmuKtution'i information is that he did so last Saturday., , ' When spoken to about the matter by a Constitution reporter. Dr. Armstrong would not talk. He was much surprised that the news hail gotteiL.ftUt. He said he had nothing whatever to say concerning the matter, but would let Ids course become public through Uie regular channel. A gentleman, who is a friend of Dr. Armstrong, said, however: “The letter has been written. I havunot seen it, but 1 understand that it recites that the doctor desires to relieve the Episcopal Church from nnv responsibility whatever for his action, and desires to lie relieved oi any responsibility to the ministry. The reasons for this, I believe, arc that he fe that he could not, with consistency, or with dignity or peace, maintain a relation with a church, the uulhnriliea of which Were unfriendly to him. wiicUu-r jt»Uy or UaJaatly. He felt that he would have to either renounce the ministry of the church or leave Atlanta, which he had determined to make his home.

Tito Columbia Record agrees w itb the Herald in holding that something should Ik- done with the lipuu *tc«d law- for the building np of credit. In talking witli u law * rcr from another State some time ago, he remarked that his State, too, had a homestead law, but it waa a check on fraud, and not an encouragement to dudioncaty. Their law gave a man no exemption from his ho neat debts unlciw the homentend was act off lx-fora the debts were eootonrtori, but on Mre -rmi trary prohibited Lira front netting made to his family more property than s fixed nmoqnt, and then trading u|hio his own appearance and ripuUtiou lor w««hh, atxi thereby defrauding the ignorant.

BRECKENRIDGE AND BENJAMIN. Esenps How tbe Two Msn Made Their from the Country. In the summer of 18781 met Q«n. Breck- enridge In Richmond, and one Sunday afternoon we were sitting alone in front of the Bullard hotel. I asked him, if not unpleasant, it would lie gratifying to have him give an account of his escape after the downfall of tlie Confederacy, and how it occurred that Mr. Benjamin was separated from him. He replied that he would cheer fully do so, and said that after following Mr. Davis some distance on the retreat he became satisfied that Mr. Davis had selected the must dangerous route, and to continue under Ids guidance, which he persisted in, Capture would be certain and inevitable. “I decided to pursue a differ ent course, - and, taking with me .somo trusty men -and as few as possible, left Mr. Davis and his escort and struck off for tlu* Florida coast. ■Soon afterward Mr. Davis, as I predicted, was captured. I met vvtth some soldiers of the Federal army. 'Pliey did not recognize me, and nothing si>eciallyoccurred to cause mo to apprehend my arrest or safety. I passed a squad of them in a gallop, but no demon stration was made against me, nor did they seem to lie aware who I was.” He then said: “Having l>een familiar in early life to hunt and travel in the night in Kentucky, 1 recalled the experience of my youth, and adapted myself to change of circumstances, traveling Incognito and withai few faithful and fearless followers. -Dr a short time, with nothing specially perilous during the journey, we reached the const in safety.

Since Italy umlertiMik to preserve the reputation of its olive oil bv checking flic importation of cotton sect! juice Irom this country, the uses of cotton seed oil have not been clearly defined. But the quantity of this oil manufactured has increased, and not long ago nearly all of thc cotton oil factories were combined in an organization having about $40,000,(MX) capital. What becomes of the product? Ex-President Vail, of the Produce Exchange, declared on Wednesday, at a meeting of jarsons engaged in the cheese trade, that in the West large quantities of it arc used in making cheese, and that this cheese is ex ported as a genuine product of the dairy. It was shown that the exports of American cheese had fallen from $14,000,000 in 1881 to $6,.500,000 in 1880, and this decline was said to have been caused hy adulteration. Further inquiry would doubtless disclose the fact that cotton seed oil is largely use*! n the manufacture of lard. -A. complete statement of the uses of a product. for whose manufacture a capital of $40,000,000 haul r/v’ Ct- THE ONLY TRUE OS r IRON TONIC PIANOS: ChickM-lng, Mxson A Hamlin, ■nthnahek.
