the reply of Dr. Wayland to the stu

A Dr. Gray, in Forest Ctty. Ark.,
was arrested and placed In Jail on the
9th ult, charged with an aggravated
assaul on a little girl. The same night
a mob, numbering about forty men,
went to the jail for the purpose of
lynching Gray. The Hherlff, some
time the evening before, heard of the
intended attack on the Jail, so he re
mained on guard all night.. During
tbe night the mob sent him the fol
lowing letter: —^
Forest City, Ark , July 9,1879.
Capt. John pAhHAM :'-'Wr, a part of
tho citizens of St. Francis county, and
your staunch supporters, believe and
are fully convinced that Dr. Gray has
perpetrated a crime equalled by none
in the country. Now we, your friends,
ask you to deliver peaceably the said
Dr. Gray Into our hands, as we feel
that to .rid the country of such a nui
sance would be beneficial. We do not
wish to use any violence, but must
have Dr. Gray. We do this as friends
of yours, In order that we do not get
hurt, or hurt you, our friend. We
number about forty, and are determin
ed to hate him at all hazard. We
would be grieved to swap blood with
you, but, if compelled, will do It. ~
Wk, The Mob.
This was tho brave Sheriff’s an
swer: -—_
At the Jail, July 9,1879.
Sirs ; In reply to your note duty
ladmlts of but one reply. I hare sworn
to support the law. If I must die In
Its support, I styill do so. You, If I am
to believe your note, have elected me
to do what I am doing. I cannot fal
ter In my duty. I shall die at my post.
Before- you commit the rash act you
contemplate, I usk that you give Mrs.
Lancaster time to take her family to a
securer place. I shall resist to the
last, and with all the means in my pow
er. I am deteimined to Bland by tbe
law. I believe that Gray is guilty, but
call upon you as sensible men to let
tho law taka, its course. You would
have a contempt for me if I should
quail before forty times as many. I
do hope that you will reconsider, and
that my sense of duty will not force me
to swap blood with any one, but when
Hie Issue hTdeath, orTEie abandonment
of a sworn duty, I prefer death. I
shall not permit any one to molest Dr.
Gray, as long as I have breath In my
body. I write this not as a boast, but
with all sincerity. I leave tho conse
quences with you. Mrs. Lancaster
will remain here until I hear from you.
Roping your better Judgment, will pre

Shetiff of St. Francis County.
Tbe Sheriff, with his deputy and the
jailer, then calmly awaited the attack.
But the mob wisely concluded that his
life would be too great a sacrifice to
pay for the body of Gray, and they
quietly dispersed.
The Florida 4'anal Mchcme.
She Was I>i»uppolntctl.
A large, finely-developed girl, of the
blonde type, about 20 year* old, visited
’Squire Monahan’s office and gave him
quite a business idea. Shs was accom
panied by her mother, who tacitly ac
quiesced In what occurred. The young
lady beckoned the Justice out into tbe
hall, and entered at once into the pur
pose of her call. She said that she
frequently read in the papers how he
frequently married Macoupin county
people, and she wanted to know what
he could do for her. Ho asked her
• ' \5 ‘
what she meant. She said she meant
bualoetw. She Wanted & hifstrand, and
she supposed he always knew of a lot
of fellows that a girl might have her
pick from. She said she flldn’t want
any of these city chaps, no matter how
rich they might bo, or how good look
ing, for she understood they had a way
of always fooling girls. She had been
all her life on a farm, and she would
like to marry nome man that was a
farmer. Of couA#, she said, if he
owned a farm, it would bs preferable,
but she wouldn’t Insist on that. She
just wanted a good steady farmer, and
she’d make him a first-rate wife. The
’Squire told her It was true that he
frequently married people from her
county of Macoupin, but they always
date her, but Just at the present time
he was out of odd farmers. She ex
pressed regret at this Information, and
said again that she supposed eh
have no trouble In finding one of those
city chaps, but she wasn’t going to al
low herself to be fooled If she knew It.
So since tbe ’Squire couldn’t provide
her with a husband Just now, she’d
just go back home and wait awhile.
Her name she said was Mary Kauf-
raann. Hiio spoke very clear English,
although her mother seemed to be
German, and It was very evident that
she was sincere in her application.
’Squire Monahan is now busily figur
ing on a branch business which shall
make the office of Justice of thfc ffeace
remunerative. He desires all young
farmers who desire to get married and
have no selection made to send him
their applications. He makes the same
The Prefits of" Farming.
It is now estimated that the wheat
crop of Indiana for this year will be
from 40,000,000 to 50.000,000 bushels,
and will bring Into tbe State and add
to Its Invested wealth from $35,000,000
to $40,000,000. No such sum has ever
been added to the wealth of a State
with as little risk or as great profit
upon the capital and labor Invested.
It Is not an unusual or exceptional
thing for the product to be equal to
one-half tho value of the soil that pro
duced wheat equal in value to tbe fhnd
prod uclng it. Tbe product of corn has
been very little behind that of wheat
in point of profit. This, of course, is
not a common or even an average re
sult, taking one year with another.
The past three have been favored
years with the farmers, and the farm
er who has not done well during that
period may reasonably conclude that
there Is something wrong lir bis case
demanding investigation. We make
no reference here to Indebtedness and
embarrassment from that cause, under
which thousands of farmers are labor
ing In common with all other classes.
Such indebtedness. In nine cases out of

than following their agricultural pur

'Where lie dot Ills Sermon.
_____ ' >—•— ' r
The Watchman tells this sermon
stealing story of a young man who
stood before a t’resbytory in SooUaod
asking ordination. Frinclpal Robinson
was Moderator. The young man was
rigidly eiamlned, and asked to preach.
The examination and the sermon were
both satisfactory. The candidate re
tired, and the Moderator said : “ I feel
compelled to say that the sermon
which the young man has preached is
not bis own. It is taken from an old
volume of sermons, long out of prink
Where he found it I don’t know. I
supposed the only copy of the volume
to be found was in my libfary and tbe
candidate has no access to that.” The
youne man was called In and asked if
the sermon he had preached was hie
own. "No,” he frankly said; "I was
pressed for time. The sermon I
preached was one which I had hoard
Principal Robinson preach some time
ago. 1 took notes of it, and liked It
so well that I wrote It out from mem
ory and have preached it to-day.” No
thing was said j there was nothing to
be said!
Washington, Augusts.—The Florida
Canal project flourishes apace. Lloyd
Aspinwall has been here for a-day or
two In consultation with Senator Jones,
of Florida, but left last night for New
York. He says be has made arrange
ments with French capital for building
a ship canal across the Isthmus of
Florida from Cedar Key to the mouth
of Ht. Johns River, which will make a
saving of about one thousand miles in
the water-route from New Orleans to
New York. All that is now required
Is the right of way through Florida
and a law of the Florida Legislature
granting exemption from taxation for
a period of twenty-five years. This
will require a special charter of the
Legislature, and strong Influences are
at work to get this through at a called
session of the Legislature. The Brench
capitalists sent an agent herfc to In
vestigate the matter, and It Is under
stood that upon his recommendation
the money will be paid. A full corps
of engineers Is to begin at once to
make surveys to ascertain tho best
route. Henator Jones says It is a
great enterprise, and will benefit
Southern commerce beyond exprea-
gtbff.

An Flopement Fra«trated.
An English girl, near Manchester,
tied a string to her toe and let It—the
string, not the toe—hang out the win
dow for a gentleman friend to pull In
order that she might not miss her mu
sic lesson. The rector of the church,
It is further stated, hearing of the ar
rangement, refused tbe couple tbe sac
rament And this reminds us of a lit
tle story. Once upon,a tithe a young
lady who desired to get up with the
lark in order to go on an eloping tour,
adopted the English girl’s plan, and
the lover was to be on hand at day
break to give the signal. The string
used for tho pedal was a stout cord,
and one end was dropped out a third-
story window into the back yard and
the other end attached to the damsel’s
great toe. And the legend runs that
a healthy goat of the William persuas
ion arose early the next morning to
look for the early worm, as it were,
and wandered lato the yard ; after eat
ing up all the tomato cans, barrel
staves, and broaen crockery ware, he
found the string and took that In as
desert. As soon as the string was
drawn taut the goat stood upon his
hind legs and gave the string an im
pulsive jerk. The girl awoke. The goat
gave another sudden pull, and the
maidenjumped out of bed with a smoth
ered cry of pain. Then she stooped
down to detach the cord Just as th$
ridiculous beast gave another violent
jerk, and she lost her equilibrium—
and her toe, too, almost—the cord out
ing into the tender flesh. She sprang to
the window and called in a hoarse
whisper, “stop pulling, Charles, I’ll be
down in a minute.” Then she made
another effort to untie the cord, but
that diabolical goat gave bis head sev
eral angry bobs, and each time the
girl gave a cry of pain. Again she
softly called out in the darkness:
‘‘Charlie, If you don’t stop Jerking
that way I’ll not come down at all.”
She was answered by another savage
pull, and the cry of anguish that es
caped from her lips brought her mo
ther In with a look of affright and a
lighted lamp. The young lady fainted,
the elopement was nipped in the bud,
and the disappointed maiden’s big toe
was sore for two weeks. The goat es-
caped. . _
There appears to be small likelihood
that Mrs. Dorsey’s will, bequeathing
Jefferson Davis her fortune of a quar
ter of a million, will be successfully
contested. Tbe heirs at last advices
were endeavoring to And some lawyer
who would take the case on a contin
gent fee, but so far the evidence of fib-
due Influence appears to be too flimsy
to make it probable that any lawyer
will take up the contest. —.

Take life like a man. Take It lust
as though It was—as It Is—au earnest,
vital, essential affRr. Take It just as
though you were personally born to
the task of performing a merry part In
It, as though tbs world waited for your
coming. Take It as though It was a
grand opportunity to do and to achieve
to carry forward grsat ^and good
schemes ; to help to ©beer a suffering, got clear of thaloe.has passed Behring’s
weary, It may be, broken hearted
brother. The fact Is, life Is underval
ued by a great majority of mankind.
It Is not made half as much of as should
be the Case. Where Is the man or wo
man that accomplishes one tithe cf
what might be done? Who cannot
look upon opportunities lost, plans un
achieved, thoughts crushed, aspira
tions unfulfilled, and all caused from
the lack of the necessary and possible
effort? If we knew better bow to
take and make the most of life, It
would be better than It Is.

Tbe Hudson may be a very beautiful
river, but along Its backs there are
places where it Is rather dangerous to
reside. Malarial fever has made its
appearance along its banks and is al
most as deadly as yellow fever. This,
with the minor misery of musqultoes,

young lady. The Invited guests had
assembled; the clergyman was present,
rekdy to perform bis part; the table
was prepared with the Usual dainties
which so pleasantly assist Iu making
merry such occasions; the brids was
adorned for her hueband in all her
bluthlng beauty and angelic loveliness,
with a throbbing heart, anxiously
awaiting the arrival of her betrothed.
At a tardy hour he arrived. His ap-
oral verdict Is, that as soon as a burg-, pearanco told too well that he bad
lar enters tbe house'he should be first
riddled with bullets and expostulated
with afterwards. A burglar Is always
more amenable to reason when he has
from two to five ounces of load in him.
He then begins to see the error of his
ways, and any remarks that the house
holder may eee fit to bestow upon him
will make a greater Impression than
at any other time. If any one attempts
to burglarize your bouse, shoot him on
the spot.—Detroit Free Press.

Never send an article for publication
without giving the editor thy name,
for thy name oftentimes secures publi
cation to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door
of a printing office, for he that an-
ewereth the rap sneoreth In hla sleeve
and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down type, or the boys will lore thee
as they do the shade trees—when thou
leaves t.
Thou shouldst never tead the copy
on the printers’ cases or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never Inquire of the editor for news,
for behold it is his business to give It
to thee at the appointed time without
asking for It.
It is not right that thou shouldst
ask him tVho Is the author of an article,
for It is his duty to keep such things
unto himself.
When thou dest enter his office,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
not look at what concerns thee not, for
that Is not meet in the sight of good
breeding.
Neither eiamlne thou the proof-sheet
for it is not ready to meet thine eye
that thou mayst understand.
Thou shouldst not delude thyself
with the thought that thou saved a few
cents when thou hast secured a dead
head copy of his paper, for while tbe
printer may smile and say it It’s al
right, he’ll never ferget thy meanness
broken his pledge, so sacredly given,
to drink no more. The resolute young
maid rose to her feet and with a de
termination spoke in words too plain
to be misunderstood, "f will never
marry you, sir.” Friends Interceded
and earnestly besobght the young he
roine to retract her words; ths young
bridegroom pleaded with all the ve
hemence and eloquence of a lover, but
still'the maid would have her way,
and say nay. She boarded the train
n a day or two for Southwest Georgia,
and took tho bridal tour without tbe
would-be bridegroom.
A patty of newly-arrived Icelanders

The Wrath to Come.—The colored
people of both the town and country
have been for tbe past two weeks
deeply stirred up In matters of relig
Ion. The excitement at the colored
Methodist and Baptist Churches in
town has been going on lor days, and
tbe fervor that prevails has never
been precedented. Hell and damna
tlon have been portrayed to the Im-i
mense congregations In such black anc
hideous terms that some are even
crazed in their efforts to "flee from the
wrath to come.” The mourners swoon
at the altar, and remain motionless
and seemingly lifeless for hours at a
time. Two poor, unfortunate crea
tures are raving crazy. One of these
has been adjudged a lunatic and
now conflijcd in jail. The church has
been kept open the whob night long,
and the doors were only closed when
daylight drove the crowd aWay. The.
excitement has at present somewhat
subsided, but the theme of religion is
the first thing in the morning and the
last thing at night.—Chester Bulletin.
Charles Lamb said that a laugh was
worth a thousand groans in any state
of the market. Hume said he would
rather possess a cheerful disposition
than with a gloomy mind to be the
master of an estate ef £10,000 a year.
Cheerful teachers make cheerful schol
ars, and both not only do more and
better work, but do It with less friction
and lees strain to physical or m,ental
powers. Cheerf ulness In a school-room
is worth more than costly furniture
and liberal appointments. A grumb

In a room which should be Ailed with

been achieved, despite the obstruotlve-

Thomas Routledge, a leading paper
manufacturer of England, Is endeavor

jungles of bamboo In India and Brit

jungle grass yield a fibre excellently

The latter grass comas principally
from Algeria and other Barbary States!
and. In addition to being unsatisfac
tory In quality, a sufficient quantity
cannot be obtained. English paper
makers are, therefore, often driven to
manufacture with wood fibre and
china clay.
