The Alliance-Educational pic-nic at Oakland oir Saturday was a happy pic ture of ibe matchless hospitality of the ftunny Soutif „Givers and gueats came from Spur Branch to Salem, from the Savannah to the EdUto until at least elx hundred were gathered under the gleaming pines and lull leaved oaks of tbe pretty grounds Ail left the cares of life behind and old and young spent • day of perfect jieace. Senator Sojourner presided over the public exercises, which were introduced by prayer of the Kev. J. K. Grier, of O rali Mins. State Lecturer Talbert made • forceful address, dealing principally with National issues. J1U argument was on the line of his address at Bam berg which WMAoutHued in The Pkoplk two weeks ago, yet more effectively and eloquently made, piesumublv because the orator of the day was nerved to higher effort by the presence of so many comely matrons, so many bewitching maidens. After the conclusion of his address tbe following preamble and re solutions were adopted: “Whereas, certain of the press of tbe Btate lias seen tit to oppose the work of our State lecturer, Hon. W. .J. Talbert, and the opposition ha* been ciiampioneo by certain individuals, n ho are endeav oring to manipulate the same to the de triment of the farmers and of the Alli ance, and are using evei y effort to de feat lire good worktherefore be it Resolved, That we, the Alliance, in •nd around the Oakland Club, endorse our brother Talbert fully, and bid him God-apeed in hi* weik of refonn, and we pledge him oQr support and intlu- •nce as a unit. Resulted, That we regret the attempt wow being made by certain of the press as a stab at the Alliance, and that in stead of weakening us It shall tend'to strengthen us and make us more united. That we deprecate the action of the Columbia trial Justices In the recent matter of )>eacc bonds, and extend to brother Talbert our sympathy in the Blatter. That we endorse the Alliance, the Al ii ince platform as laid down by him aud bis Alliance work In this State in •very particular ” On account of sickness Rev. W. D. McMiilau was unable to ire present and give the promised and expected educa tional address. 'Jbe dinner served was beautiful In La abundance and perfect in its pre|>ar- atlon. Tbe thrift and inielligt-nce of the fanners of the beautiful and pro ductive country between the Kdistoam!

Ta Those who Rob the Flowers From tbo Dead. How little people realize what pain they intiict upon the already sorrow burdened relatives, when they sneak to the grave# of the silent, helpless Dead, and steal away the flowers. But one always thinks, or at least ho|>es, it is done only by thoughtless childrtni.

As a pen picture of a growing enterprise, showing the begin ning of the development of the “New South” outside the olu groove* ofmak- Infcotton andi practising law andWd- icine, we write down our recollections, suggesting that all who doubt or desire more information go and see for ihem- seivas.

Little children, suppose your dear mother or father were dead and could write you a sweet, beautiful letter from Heaven to cheer and oonsoleyotir grief- atricken heart, aud some selfish, mean man or woman w ere to destroy it before you could read it? How would you feel ? Would not that letter he very sa cred to you, because it can.e from her you loved? Well, the flowers that bloom on the graves of the dead, are »weet, loving mesaagea that the angels in Heaven send us, through the merci ful Father, to cheer and comfort us In our sorrow. And think of the disap pointment, when that lonely, desolate wife, or mother or sister gties to that grave to read the tender message writ- • n in the flower-letter, then to find that some selfish, thoughtless child has sneak.-d.tiiere when no one Avas near and stolen it away. If the dead could speak, would you dare tou> h these con secrated flowers ? It would not he half so mean to steal the white rose-bud out of the stiffened band of the psle, cold corpse before it was put away in the grave, for then the friends and relatives were there to pro tect their loved one. Think how much you have, cl^ldren, and how much more your dear parents »au do for you, and how little is in our power to give to the dead, only tears, tears, and thp few flowers that God makes to bloom for our consolation Go to each of these lonely graves, where any one of you may be put any hour, and look at and try to read the sorrow ful messages written in those sw eet pur ple violets aud panseys. Death! no thing but death to ail and everything. Then tbe beautiful white rose of love and innocence, aud those lovely white violet* on baby’s grave, and see what God wrote there for baby to console and •oothe the sad mother's heart. If the beivenly father were here on earth, and you wished to make an offer ing of beautiful flowers to Him, wouid you offer that lovely bunch of (hyacinths Or that pure white rose that you robbed from Chat grave late one evening when no one was near to see ?

Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophet, makes the following prediettouk for the remainder of this month : About tho 8th it will turn rapidly warmer resulting in hard reactionary storms about the Hth and 10th. Another wave of fresh—perhaps frosty air, will follow after these storms. No harm to watch. J,overs of meteorological sci ence andcuujecture will curiously watch and note results of new moon on the 8th, so nearly combined with the transit of Mercury on the Oth. Don't he alarmed at possible earthquake shivers. The next regular storm period runs from the 14th to IttSVlnclusive, wit it moon’s first quarter combined centrally with Vulcan on the l$tti. Another ex cessively warm wave is sure to make itself generally felt during this period, it will culminate in active dangerous storms, and be followed by very cool nights. The 21st and 22nd are days of secondary storm movements on w hich the temperature will reach & high read- big, and result in manv atmospheric disturbances. On the 23d, sun, earth and moon will be on a direct line, re sulting in a partial eclipse of the moon, with a possible disturbance of the nor mal magnetic and electric state of our globe. The eclipse will he visible only ion the opposite side of the earth. The last period for May will be cen tral on the 20th, reaching from the 20th to 29th. During these, and the day next before and after, all the phases of a reg ular meteoiologicai throb, or perturba tion, will make themselves felt, first £ row ing very warm in the West—mo v- ig to tire East attended by storms of rain, wind and thunder, and followed by change of air currents and lower temperature.

No member of our Order has the right to asstiil another meml>er publicly through the press or otherwise, so long as their names are on our roll of mem bership Such an offense is a violat on of his obligation, atul should merit ex pulsion No paper vested with author ity to represent our Order officially has the right to ass >11 our principles or any member of the Older wJiiie acting in such a capacity. Such an offence should cause all trim Alliance men to repudiate such paper promptly. No member, while his name remains on our rolls, has a right to assail the principle* of the Or der publicly. He is not only permitted, but is encouraged by our law, to Discuss any and all measures coming within our province with the utmost freedom and to any exteut he may desire within the Order. But the will of the majority is the law of the Order, and if he can not acquiesce in the decision of the ma jority, and feeis that he is conscien tiously impelled to go before the public d a-sail our principles, he should first j admired aw: an divest himself of the Alliance uniform. With what consistency could a Baptist or Methodist go before the world and publicly oppose and denounce some of the most cherished tenets of his Church* How long would bis name remain on his church book ? How long ought it to remain there? Why should he expect or desire to remain in tbe church? Loyalty to 'Alliance principles is the only true Alliance test, not only fc* to membership, bat it slu uld faithfully be applied in the selection of all officers, from the steward in a subordinate Alli ance to the ,president of the National Alliance, and it must be applied In tb* Paper* wert signed Tuesday night, selection of thpse who are to make aud settling it that the Midlaud will sursly j execute ear lawa, If we would reason- go to AUthdaK tct ready knows “a hat ” 1 ask “w hat kind of l)Ht is this?” and proceed as before Action words should he illustrated. For instance, have John w alk, ask what he does, and leach “John walks ” Roll a ball, and teach “the hall rolls.” The words taught should he arranged into sentences as soon as possible. The same word a may he arranged into many dif ferent sentences, thus giving variety to the lesson. Nothing can take the place of the blackboard in these flrKt exercises Every teacher must select the words moxt suitable for her class, no two class es being most familiar with the same words. , , After the ehildrerf have learned to read several sentences the alphabet should be taught one letter at a time*, w hile the class continues to learn new words. Every child must master the alphabet before it can become an inde pendent reader. It is best to use script at first, hut af ter a few weeks a change to prill* may gradually he made by writing au'l print ing the same sentences on the board. The primer and chart should be intro duced as soon as the class can read a good many sentences and have become familiar with print Of course every teacher must decide for her class “how soon ” In theseearly lessons the childrenjmust he taught expression if they are ex pected to read well orally. It is well to have during the day a reading lesson from tbe Imard teaching new words; a lesson in the primer, which the children have studied, and a lesson from the chart that they have not studied. it is a good plan to cover the reading on the chart until the picture has been and the thought developed. in Vita, u taU V* VSUiU ably hope tot the reform* whlofc we seek. then if the reading is uncovered it is not a difficult matter to obtain the right expression.
