The Almighty Dollar. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Algood, April, 21.—Though 1 am a natural born democrat, yet 1 dreamed a very strange dream a few nights ago. I dreamed 1 were a delegate to the republican convention at St. Louis, and, although it is very un common for the nominee to be pres ent, and after his nomination he was asked to give his views on the finan cial question, and the only reply tie made was: “Let us pray.” 1 will endeavor to give the substance of his prayer as best my memory serves me. “O, Almighty Dollar! Our ae-j knowleged governor, preservor and i benefactor, we desire to approach I thee on this and every other occasion with that reverence which is due to thy superior excellency, and that re gard which should ever be cherished for thy exalted greatness. Almighty Dollar, without thee in this world we could do nothing, but with thy pres ence we can do all things. When sickness lays its paralyzing hand upon us, thou canst provide for us the ten- derest nurses, the most skillful phy sicians, and when the last struggle of mortality is over, and we are being born to the resting place of the dead, thou canst provide a band of music and a military escort to accompany us thither; and last, but not least, erect a magnificent monument over our graves with a lying epitaph to perpetuate our memories; and, while here in the midst of misfortunes and temptations of life, we perhaps are accused of crime and brought before magistrates, thou, Almighty Dollar, canst secure for us, a feed lawyer, it bribed judge, a packed jury, and we go scot free. Be witti us we pray thee, in all thy decimal parts, for we , feel that thou art the one altogether lovely and chiefest among ten thous and. We feel there is no true condi tion in life where thy potent and all powerful charms are not felt. In thy absence, how gloomy is the house hold, and how desolate the hearth stone; but when thou, Almighty Dol lar, art with us, how gleefully the beefsteak sings on the gridiron, how genial the warmth the anthracite coal or hickory wood diffuses throughout the apartments and what an exuber ance of joy continues to swell every bosom. Thou art the joy of our yout hand the solace of age. Thou canst adorn the gentleman and thou feedest the jackass. Thou art the favorite of the philosopher and the idol of the lunkhead. When an elec tion is to be carried, O, Almighty Dollar, thou art the most potent ar gument of politicians and demagogues and the umpire that decides the con test. Almighty Dollar, though art worshiped the world over. Thou hast no hast no hypocrits in thy temples or false hearts at thine altars. Kings and courtiers bow before thee, and all nations adore thee. Thou art loved by the civilized and savage alike with unfaltering affections. U, Almighty Dollar, in the acquirement and de fense of human liberty, thou hast placed armies in the lieid and navies on theocean. At the uplifting of thy powerful hand their thunders would roll and their Tightenings Hash. Thou bust bound continents together by telegraph cables and made tin 1 varied products of our country available to all by a perfect net of railroads. The forests have been prostrated and Lie deserts made to blossom as the rose. Wo continue to regard thee as the bride’s maid of religion, the twin sister of charity. When the light of thy shining countenance breaks through the gloom of famine- stricken Ireland, the shamrock wears a greener hue and the harp resounds with loftier strains while weeping mothers and starving children rise above their wails of woe as their hearts and their heels resound to the thrilling strains of “St. Patrick's Day in the Morning.” When our broth ers and sisters of the Sunny South aro smitten “hip and thigh” by the climate scourge of yellow fever and destitution prevails in consequence of the cessation of industries and suf fering is increased from lack of nurses and medical attendance and they call for the almighty dollar of the north, thou goes! on the wings of love to their rescue, while the air that was discordant with groans and shrieks becomes redolent with the exhilarating melodies of “Yankee Doodle.” 0, Almighty Dollar, be with us we beseech thee, attended by an expressible number of thy minis tering angels made in thine own im age, even though they be but silver quarters, dimes and half climes, whose gladdening light shall allutn- ine the value of penury and want with heavenly radiance which shall cause the awakening soul to break forth in exclamations of joy. Al mighty Dollar, thou art the awakener of our energies, the guide of our foot steps and the goal of our being. Guided by thy silvery light we hope to reach the “Golden Gate” triumph antly, enter while angel bands har moniously sweep their golden harps, and we, on golden streets in high ex hilaration of feeling and with jubilent emotions strike the Highland fling, Suusoriukr. A TALE FROM ARMENIA. Kc-v. Ralph K. Carson Write* of the Hutch- ery of a Native I'reacheraiHl Ills Family. Rev. Ralph E. Carson, who left Balti more last October for the mission in Egypt of the United Presbyterian church, writes under date of January 8 from Assyout: “The horrors of tlio Turkish butcher ies have been brought very near to us during this week. The news reached the missionaries Sabbath evening of the murder of oneof our native pastors, Girgis Anshalia by name, who was the pastor of the congregation at Koos, Egypt, a town a good way up the river from here. “lie was a native of Syria hy birth, but had been to America, where lie studied for awhile in the Xenia (Ohio) seminary. lie was sent out by our board and had been for some 15 years the pastor at Koos. “Tiiis past summer or fall, matters at the time being comparatively quiet in the Turkish empire, he decided to go to his home in Syria to visit his family, lie went with a good deal of misgiving, however. During the late massacres in Syria his native town was attacked and he and his family seized. “Ilis captors offered to release him if lie would renounce Christianity and embrace Mohammedanism. This ho re fused to do, but offered to pay a ransom of C GOO if they would spore his life and those of ins family. The Turks agreed to this and ho paid over the money which probably represented the savings of his whole life. After re ceiving the money they proceeded to murder him. Thus the martyr crown ing is not yet over.” HARDSHIPS OF A CREW. 31en of the Kgreraont Castlo Hattie for Days with Angry Seas. The steamship EgremontCastle.Capt. Valentine, from Samarang, November 11, via Batavia, November 13, with a cargo of sugar, anchored in the mouth of Delaware bay at Philadelphia the other day, almost a complete wreck, and with nearly every member of her crew injured. She experienced the most terrific passage ever made by her veteran captain in his i;5 years’ experi ence. Her decks were completely swept and the cabins gutted of their contents, ’ihe clothing of the officers and crew, excepting what they wore, was swept overboard, together with the ship’s pa pers, the compasses and log. On January 20, nil hands gave up hopes of ever seeing land again, the ship having become imprisoned in a section of the ocean where two separate seas were striking each of her and conse quently sweeping completely over her. Every minute it appeared as though the immense quantities of water striking the decks must send her to the bottom! This condition prevailed throughout the day, and, with the irregularity of the seas, it was impossible to guide the ship. The vessel was then 250 miles northeast of Bermuda, which postwar reached throe days later. DEVIL DEFINED. Copious Treatment of Ills Majesty In New Oxford Knclish Dictionary. Believers in a personal devil will havo their faith strengthened by the new Ox ford English dictionary now in course ot publication in parts, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, The devil oc cupies six pages, or 18 columns, and the derivative words consume much ad ditional space. lie is a pervasive jkt- sona' ty in all modern and many an cient languages, and has given a ilavor to numerous words and phrases, such as printers’ devil, dating from 1C83, and deviltry, which is an American im provement on the English devilry. If the devil is not an individual, his evolu tion in the languages is a curious per version of the facts. A Rich Alubtcii .Mine. An agent of one of the Alaska trad ing companies who arrived in San Fran cisco recently says the Alaska Com mercial company is now and lias been for a long time operating a mine on Uuga, island, the output of which averages $00,000 a month. He says the t ichness of the mine has been carefully kept a secret, and now is known to but few people in Alaska. Spring is full of terrors to all whose constitution is not able to resist the sudden changes of tem perature and other insalubrites of tlio season. To put the system in condition to overcome these evils, nothing is so effective as Ayer’s Sar saparilla. Take it now. PROF. BELL’S AIR SHIP READY. ConRtructed of Aluminum nnd Hiitnboo and of Light Weight. Prof. Bell, of Anderson, lud., has just completed his airship. It is constructed wholly of aluminum and bamboo, weighs 40 pounds, and, it is claimed, will carry 200 pounds and attain a speed of a mile in three minutes. It is composed of a series of parachutes or umbrellas, a propelling wing, and a rudder to guide it. It is worked by a gearing much after the plan of a bicy cle and is very easy to handle. It folds up and can be carried with little trouble. Mr. Bell has demonstrated to a few friends that it will work. The machine can he constructed cheaply, he says, and can be used in all kinds of weather. r 4E MOST remarkable cures on record have been accomplished by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It is unequalled for all BLOOD DISEASES. An Unknown Man KIIU4. Michif., Tenn., March 31.—An nn* known man was murdered in an out house near this place. He was struck across the forehead with a stick of wood and his sknll crushed. The verdict of the jury was that he was murdered by his partner. This man rented thehous* for the night and said that he had a partner; also said that they were mo- chine and clock repairers. The mur derer escaped. When last heard from ho had crossed the Tennessee river at Pittsburg landing and was making hia way down the river. It will be an agreeable surprise to persons subject to attacks of bilious colic to learn that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. In many instances the attack may be prevented by taking this rem edy as the first symptons of the dis ease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for solo by the DuPre Drug Company. Florida Vegetables!
