Interruption of the Nervoufl Syst? hi
Cause? Paralyel? -Money i? I ho
Same as ?Nerve.
The dootore tell us that paralysis is
the loss of tho function of motion from
an interruption of nervous inlluonce.
Trade, commerce and industrial pur
suits have nerves, too, but they seem
to bo paralyzod. Tbe spinal marrow
Is diseased and muscular power has
become stagnant. What has caused
this unnatural condition wo knov not
with any certainty, for the political
doctors disagree, but it is believed by
many that it is owing to the lack of
circulation of tho blood?that is, of
money, and that tho demonetization of
silver Is at tho bottom of it. Whatever
it lu, tho patient is in a bad fix. The
othor day I rodo out with a lady friend
in tho suburbs of Atlanta to look at
some of tho cottage homos. Sho wanted
to buy a home for herself, and we spent
parts of throo days in examining and
pricing properties. There were hun
dreds of the in and they wero cheap
enough, but what struck mo was that
a building and loan company had more
for sale than anybody. This company
had loaned money four or five years
ago to Improve suburban lotH. They
loaned notexcoedlng one-half the value
ot the vacant lot and have had to fore
close their mortgages because tho bor
rowor could no longer pay tho interest,
and so thoy bid in tho proporty and
have held it, hoping to got their money
back, but thoy cun't and aro now seek
ing buyers at Ices than the property
cost them, and io sorao cases loss than
the original loan. A lot tbat four or
five years ago was worth $1,000 and has
on it a houso that cost $G00 or $300 is
offered for $1,200, and perhaps $1,000
would buy it. Tho company can stand
it, but what has becomo of tho poor
fellow and his family I know not. They
had hopes and woro looking forward to
the time whon their humble homo
would be paid for, but this paralysis
overtook thorn and swept their homo
and their hopes away. Tho Merchants'
Bank has long been regarded as one of
tho solid, conservative institutions of
Atlanta, but it advanced money on real
estate and could not realize This is
tho condition all ovor tho country.
Trade is paralyzed, especially in real
estate. Financiers toll us that there Is
ub much money In the country as there
ever wa*5, but It does not move. Tho
stagnation not only continues, but gets
worse. Throo years ago a man offered
$1,500 for an eligible town lot in Oar*
torsvlllo. A year later ho bought it
for $800, and now ho could not get $500
for It If ho wished to soil. Is it any
wonder that tho people havo lost
conlldcncoand aro willing to mako any
change that Is offered V Tho patient is
awful sick and will ovon take strich
mlno If It Is prescribed.
But tho long agony is nearly ovor and
we shall see what wo shall see. The
people are ready for the ballot, and tho
ballot will settle the nation's will. It
is tbe masses against tho classes?the
samo old story "And David fled from
Saul to tho causo of Adullum and all
>who were discontented or In debt or
dl6trc$^?incd him there." That was
a sorry loVtdfigucu Arl^,JiyJJn^ui so
of time they wero victorious.
But I don't believe that capital Is as
much alarmed as it was a month ago.
The banks havo hedged and aro pre
pared for tho change if any comes.
Oertain it is thoro will bo no collapse
if Bryan is oleotcd and thero will be
no relief If McKinley is. TIiIb govern
ment cao't be ruined by a change of
rulers". Tho civil war oleaned up the
South protty well, but In ten years it
bad rallied and in fifteen yeurs hardly
a trace of tho warcould bo found. Then
let us not bo alarmed at tho situation.
If McKinley is elected and a Republi
can Congress, and something is not
done to rollevo tho pcoplo thoy will be
ignomlniously hurled from power four
years henco. Distress and discontent
are growing things. Whilo capital ij
all tho tlmo concentrating to tho few,
debt and discontent Is spreading to the
many. Capital will not turn a wheel
as long as It can be loaned on mort
gages at a good per cent. A few months
ago some of our public spirited citizens
determined to build a cotton mill that
would give employment to the children
of tho poor. Tho stock was all sub
scribed, but boforo any contracts were
mado the times got harder and money
moro valuable, and 80 ono by one the
stockholders dropped out and the mill
died In childbirth.
But why worry about theso things.
Thoro is no good uonso in brooding over
trouble. 1 had rnthor road a good book
or plant out strawberries or play with
a grandchild than to talx politics. 1
? was in Atlanta yo&tcrday and was in
troduced by a mutual friend to a mem
ber of the legislature. Ho got tho idoa
that I was an otllno soeker and asked
me what I was running for. "Noth
ing," said I, "nothing at all." Ho
seemed relieved and said I was a
curiosity and asked me for my picture.
1 will say this and can prove it:
? Thoro aro bettor men out than in and
always will bo. When nigger Bob
oauio back from tho penitentiary, after
serving his tlmo, he declared that "dar
was somo as bud folks in dar as dar was
outen dar and dar was some as good
pcoplo outon dar as dar was In dar."
Thoro aro somo mighty clever mon
holding offico and tho pcoplo were
pleased to honor them, but it is a rare
thing for a modest gentleman to bo
elevated. Tho day of Cinctnnatus will
never roturn. BlLr, A it P.

It is a good timo to write somo mope
"meditations among tho tombs," or "an

"This world is all a Hooting show."
Tho election is ovor and the bad news
keeps conti ng' and the heavens aro
weeping and everything is going wrong.
Very early this morning I was sweetly
droamlng, when thero wnsagcntlo rap
. at tho door and I thought tbat possibly
some friond or nabor had come to toil
i mo that Bryan was elected, but tbe
voice spake and said "Mammy say sbe
ean't como dis mornln'?sho sick."
Ob, my poor, bleeding country. No
cook and the rain pouring down. Mrs.
Arp made no sign, so I slipped out of
bed and drossea sad tiptoed out to tho
culinary department. I firod up tho
stove and put on tho hominy and the/
coffee and fed tho cow and brought in
some more wood and got everything
ready for fominino hands boforo I awak
ed them. In course of tlmo thoy came
and mado the blsouit and fried the sau
sage and soramblod some eggs and wo
bad a No. 1 breakfast and I felt better.
Sorrow endureth for a night, but joy
oometh in tho morning about breakfast
time. I folt calm and sercno and did

defeat. I had hedged so that tho dis
appointing shook would not bo so shock
ing when itoame.butfltill I socrotiy in
dulged a hope that thero might bo a
landslide, an avalanche, an interposi
tion of providence In Bryan's favor. A
man may think he is prepared for (ho
worse, but ho can't cheat himself out of
his wishes. My comfort now is In eym- j
pathlzlug with our hero, in admiring ?
frandour of the man wuooao now, like ,
exclaim "I have fought a

< )no thing I rojolco at, and that I? tho

down and out or. they will bo hurled
from power as Jupiter hurled Vulcan

and is lame yot.
Now let us bavo peace and rest. I
sincerely wish that McKinley could
stay in office for a term of ten yoars
and thon bavo to retire for good. The
presidential term is too abort. It takes
all of one year to grease the machinery
and got it in running order ; thon two
years for work, and tho last year is do
voted to monding fonuos and Qxing up
for another eleotlon. It is the same
way with our governor's election. Tho

somo folks want to make it shorter
still. Tho pcoplo are tired of elections

A G11AN1) RBUNION AT CON WAY.
General Wnlker and Judge Hudson
Address Old Comrades?The Tonili
anil Twenty-Sixth Regiments of
South Carolina.
In spite of tho wind and rain of the
day boforo, and tho threats of its re
turn in tho morning, over 2,f>00 people
were in the town of Conway on ttie?th ot
November, many of them having driven
ten to tlfteon and oven twcnty-llvo miles
to participate in tho pleasures of the
day. Thoy came from tho quiet of
country homes to moot each other, the
veterans to ronow old friendships,
their sons and daughters to form now
ones. Old mon camo from tho firesides
to recall tho camp tires of army life,
from tho plough handles to collect
again tho memories of a conflict of
arms. But ono could readily read in
tho face and language of the veteran
that tho man of war bed become en
tirely a man of peace: that. In bis
mind sectional animosities have died
away as personal friendships of tho
war havo grown tho stronger Iu peace.
The comradeship that was incidental
to the perfection of a machine of war
has becomo in pcaco tho ceutrul idea
of an organized fratoruity.
A stand had been built for the speak
ers, where tho veterans, their friends
and attendants were grouped to listen
to speeches from Gen. C. I. Walker, of
Charleston, commandant of the South
Carolina Division, United Confederate
Veterans, and lieutenant colonel of the
old 10th S. C. V.; Judge J. U. Hudson,
of Bennottsvllle, lieutenant colonel of
the old 20th, both of which regiments
contained companies from Ilorry.
Hon. Jere Smith, president of the
Confoderato Veterans' Association of
Horry, Introduced Gen. Walker, who
spoke In part as follows :
Comrades and Fellow Citizens : It
was at tho sounding of the first tocsin
of war, when tho 10th South Carolina
regiment assembled at Camp Marion,
that I first h?d-Vue pleasure of meet
iug-"& ?v,G?\y number of tho sons of
Horry. During tho loug and intimate
association of tho four years during
whioh I had the privilege of being
with them, I often heard warm and
enthusiastic descriptions of tho beau
ties and charms of Conway. They
mado mo fool tbat I could not die
peacefully without having visited their
town on tho banks of tho Waccauiav/.
Circumstances havo heretofore pre
vented mo from carrying out my wish
to visit your lovely and vcnorablo
town. 1 havo boon a busy man, bur
dencded with many business cares, so
havo not had the leisure given by
eithor wealth or poverty. Tho invita
tion from tho Unitod Confederate Vet
erans came at a time when 1 could,
fortunately for me, accept it, and 1 am
with you to enjoy your bountiful hospi
tality. I am with you to grasp tho
hands of those comrades of 1801-5 who
havo honored mo with their coolidence,
esteem and friendship. Thanks, com
rades, thanks, for your most hearty
and brotherly welcome.
Are we strangers ? If such a feel ng
found a moment's life in my heart your
welcome would havo banished et once.
But not for a moment can it bo said
that the people of Horry and thow
brother Carolinians were other than
the nearest of kin and dearest of
friends. Bavo we not worshipped and
fought for our deur old State, our
common mother? Has not ever pulsoof
our heart boat in unison for bur welfare
and glory V Bavo wo not a common
heritage In the great deeds which
havo illumined the proud escutcheon
of South Carolina V
Beyond all this, which so intimately
unites all thq sons of South Carolina,
thero is a stronger tie, which draws
me closer and closer to you, tho good
people of B?rry. By tho glorious
deeds of your heroes of tho Confeder
acy who were my comrades; by tho ten
der caro of your fair daughters, who
gently nursed to strength tho sick and
wounded, my comrades; by the dan
gers, the trials, tho victories and the
defeats which tho gallant mon of Com
panies B. C. G. and M. 10th South
Carolina regiment, bravely met by my
side; by my very blood, mingled with
that of tho sons of Horry, shed in de
fence of our firesides, our women and
our God-givon rights, I can always
claim myself not a stranger to anyono
in Horry, but a friend, a eomraue, a
brother.
Feeling thus, my comrades, of the
many thoughts which tho raero men
tion of tho loth South Carolina regi
ment brings to my mind, I can not re
strain myself from giving utterance to
a few of these glorious memories of a
glorious past. Never can I forget the
associations, the events, tho lifo, of
those thrilling days. At (Jump Marion
wo had our pluy boldierlng, however
earnestly wo may bavo boon working,
preparing ouoolvcs for au honorable
and useful place in tbat bloody drama
of war in which we UCted our part. It
wai t hero good, brave old Captain A.
H. Johnson drillet] his then und rilled
and undisciplined m< n. There he and
his officers worked hard to get thorn
j into taotln.il s iap > and worko 1 under
j tho greatest of dlDloultics?-they hud
: llrst to learn what thoy had afterwards
to teach their men. 1 here it was that
Col. Manigault told him to chango tho
direction of his company's inaroh, and,
i not being up In tactical lore, ho quiet
ly ordered, "Coujin Armidio, (all of
j Company C wore, I believe, brothers
j or cousins,) slant a lectio to tho right."
I But, afterwards, when tho enemy was
i In front, noUCapt. Johnson, not Cousin
Armidlc, not a man of Company C
wantod to '"slant," but thoy always
marchod straight forward towards
thoir foo.
With Capt. W. J. Tolar and Com
pany B on tho loft of tho regiment wo
always folt absolutely sure that our
left Hank would novor bo turned. Com
panlos G and M as bravely maintained
their part of tho lino when advancing
or repulsing an attack.
I'ardon mo, comrades, I namod Capt.
W. J. Tolar. I canaot pass his namo
without paying my tribute to so bril
liant, reliable, stanch, fearless, intel
ligent and vaInailie. an officer and so
noblo a man. Truo as fctcol, always
ready for duty, and tho greater tbe
danger tho moro willing to undertake
it, kiud, careful of and loving to his
mon, his sterling character and loving
den!? wo.i for blm the respoot and
affection of every oomrade.
You sent out many mon equally
worthy of whatovor tribute I could pay
thorn, but this day Is not long enough
for mo to pay cvon a scant tribute to
tbe deed* and tho lives of ull.
Let modesty close the ears of my old
comrades of the 10th regiment, for I
propose to say one closing word with
referenoo to tho gallant men of that
command. I wa? wltb those men of
that regiment from tbe very com
mencement to tbo sad end of the war.
Marched with thorn by day and by
night, in the sohorchlng heat of suin
mor and tho blasting cold of winter. I
have Been them, many barefooted,
I trudging over tbe snow-covered roads
\ of Tennessee during Hood's fearful
I campaign in tbe winter of 1864-65. I
have seen them enjoying, what was
i ofton a luxury, a good, solid meal of
parched corn. I have seen them un
murmuringly Btarvo without even this
much. I bavo seen them siuk and
wounded and dying. I bave soon them
in tho heated battle charge rush up to
the deadly oannon's mouth. But I
havo yet. to bear of their faltering. I
have yet to boar of their complaining.
I bavo yet to hoar of their backing
down boforo any danger which mortal
man could overcome. 1 have yet to
hoar of one who was not gloriously
truo to himself and his country. You,
sons, daughtors and wives, cherish
this glorious heritage as tho grandest
heirloom a noble father or husband
could bestow upon you.
I speak of those whoso dccdB I know
of, but l um sun1, absolutely sure, that
of every Confederate son of Horry, I.
could say equally as much, and as truly
as I havo said It of tho mon who follow
ed Manigault and Presslcy.
In closing Gen. Walkor very forcibly
said:
My comrades, the war was not with
out its blessings, and hard, hard as It
was, from it wob born a uation of free
men, active, thoughtful, progressive,
earnest, who are to-day?excuse my
portion of tbo egotism?the grandest
race over created by God, and built up
by this very hard and bitter struggle.
God gi ant that the prosperity which
now beams in every part of our dearly
loved aud earnestly defended South
land may always lind Its brightest spot
with you, my dear friends.
Thoso aro only fragments of tho
splendid spoooh Gen, Walker gave tbe
Veterans. His strong presentment of
tbo good results of the organization of
tho United Confederate Veterans will
BUrely havo their effect upon both our
old soldiers and their sons; nor will
thoy soon forget tho General's clear
cut and terse presentation of tbo
causes and effects of tho war. Even to
tbo more thoughtful tho truth on these
questions becomes clearer in tho purer
and better influences of that peaceful
and fraternal feeling which Confeder
ate Veteran Associations fostor and
dovclop.
Tho second spoakor, Judgo J. H.
Hudson, was most eloquently Introduc
ed by Mr. It. B. Scarborough, who
paid a high tribute to tbo worth and
integrity of this distinguished gentle
man. The Judgo was llcutonant colo
nel of tho old 26th roglment. Ills ad
dress was almost entirely historical
and reminisccntial. Ho went over tbo
last year of the war with his old com
rades and gave the complete story of
his regiment's part in tho battle at
Plvo Forks and his own experlonco
after being wounded. His description
of the route >uf his meeting, while soro
wounded, with Gon. Grant at Mrs.
Pegram's house and the General's
kinduess will remain vividly with tho
audience who loved Viim. Old soldiers
crow.de.ti oitiser around the stand as ho
revived their already vivid memories
of thoso bioody times when day aud
night thoy remained under constant
firo from tho onomy. One could seo a
toar start in moro than one eye when
the memory of a fallen comrade or a
superbly gallant friend flitted through
the mind.
After the Bpeeohos dinner was serv
ed to all the crowd. Four tables,
each at least three hundred feet long,
wore loaded by the generous citizens
of Conway and Horry with a most
tempting repast. The Veterans clear
ed it as they had many a heated bat
tlefield aud thoir families and friends
profiling by tbo example, did their
fml duty. Thero was enough and to
spare. Aftor dinner tho largo crowd
gradually dwindled away, carrying
home each one vivified memories, re
newed friendships and the pleasant
knowledge that this wua the most suc
cessful aud enjoyable of reunion days
at Conway.
THE SOLID NORTH IS BROKEN,
Senator villmnn on the Election Re
sults?The Democratic Party Would
Not Have Carried a Single State on
the Gold rial r?M in.
Senator Tillman in an interview
says that Bryan will bo tho nominco of
tho Democratic party in 1900.
" The battle has boon the most heated
and hardest fought political contest in
our history and tho Democratic party
has novor shown to hotter advantage,"
said Senator Tillman.
"Tho issuos havo boon clearly de
fined and bravely sustained, while our
great leader, Bryan, has covered him
self with glory and (is tho idol of tbo
Democratic masses."
" To what causos do you attributo
McKinley'e triumph ?"
" There wore several causes, all of
them making a combination that it
was impossible to overcome. In tho
first place, tho odium attaching to De
mocracy from Cleveland is moro and
all tbat it implies drove from us hun
dreds of thousands of mon. Hard
times ; tho issuo Of bonds in timo of
peaco ; tbo so-called free trade tariff
bill ; the loss of omployment; all these
wero chargod to tho Democratic party
and tho Democratic speakers and tho
few Northern newspapers which roacb
od tbo masses in the Northern cities
woro poworlo88 to obliterate tho im
pression. Tho Democratic party suf
fered, although it had repudiated both
Cleveland and his policy.
" Then tho unblushing uso of money
in unlimitod quantities controlled
many thousands of the votes. Tbo
campaign of tho Republicans was con
ducted by tho Republicans with great
vigor by a largu.corps of well trained
Speakers, many of them mon of nation
al repute, while tho Democracy, with
out means, relied upon voluuteor
speakers and these could not cover
tue Hold thoroughly as tholr oppon
ents.
" A third factor was tho threat open
or implied, by tbousanJs of ownors of
manufactories and workshops that
Bryan's election moant tho closing
down of work. Tho army of tho Idle
woro promised work if McKinley should
triumph. Tho Republican masscB in
tho country or agricultural districts
woro promised a return of good prices
and prosperous times unoor a Republi
can tariff policy and with a restora
tion of confidenco. Tho natural al
liance of tho South and West, though
not comploto, has rocolvcd an impetus
which cannot bo stopped or prevented.
Tho issuo of financial roform and tho
restoration of tho monoy of tho Con
stitution is not dead and will not down.
" Wo havo broken tho solid North,
whilo tho South Id practically solid.
The tyranny of tho Podoral judiciary
and tho greed of tho plutocrats will
drivo the masses by the, million to our
support In tbo next great btrugglo. Jef
ferson lost his first battle in 1706, but
won in 1800. Tho Republican party was
over-wholmlngly dofoated in 1856 and
Lincoln was defeated for tho Sonato in
1858, but ho was oleotod President In
18(10. Wo will win in 1000. McKinley
cannot give relief or rostoro prosperity
unless tho law of supply and demand,
as it clTcclB money, has been ropoalod."
" Will the policy of tho party load
ers look to conciliating tho gold Demo
orats ?'
" No; thoy havo got in tho pat ty to
which t hey belong and are a good rid
dance. There can bo no stop back
ward. The Southern people and the
E intern Democrats are separated by
-=
no. impassible barrier. 'Xh"y ere our
task-masters ftud'wo'know it. W? have
turned to tho West and must look and
worl ithat direction. If the Domo
erat? afi put up a cold platform, we
would not have carried a tingle State?
Tho mon which- claimed to bo gold
Democrats voted for McKinley almost
solidly. Thero may be a spasmodic
rleo in prices and a resumption of busi
ness activity, but it cannot last."
"What do you think of David B.
Hill's future Tf
"Hill's a dead duck and will novor
again rise to the surface," was tho em
phatic declaration of Senator Tillman.
MR. CLEVELAND'S WORK.
A Democratic Administration that
Helped.to Elect a Republican, Pres
ident.
Columbia State.
The defeat of Bryan is as much tbe
work of Grovcr Cloveiand as of Mark
Hanua. Not all the corrupting mil
lions of the Republican fund could
have prevailed against him had not an
administration elected as Democratic
sot itself to ruloor ruin the Democratic
party.
Tho purpose to do this manifested
iteolf last year In tho promotion by
Messrs. Cleveland and Carlisle of tho
defeat > tho free silver Democratic
candidut for governor of Kentucky,
and the prevention of Joe Blackburn's
ro-oloction as United States Senator.
The administration was bobiud tbo
conspiracy to turn Kentucky ovor to
tho Republicans rathor than permit
tho Democrats to make effective their
policy on tho coinage question.
Ever since thon President Cloveiand
aud hiscaoinot havo been doing liko
work'for tho Republican party. They
know tbat the masses of tho Demo
cratic party were for bimetallism, and
thoy must have forsecu what intelli
gent outside observers coulu readily
foresee, that tho party in its national
convention would declare for tho free
coinage of silver. But, rcali/.lng"this,
thoy applied every official Influence
possible to promoto an opposition
which could only havo the effect of
dividing tho party. Had thoy really
been in doubt of the determination of
tbo Democracy to insist upon making
silver tho issue the result of tho early
conventions must have satisfied them.
But they continued tho strugglo long
after tho hope'esBncss of stamping
tboir financial policy upon tho party
platform was made plain to them?
thoy fought in tho final conventions as
desperately as in the early ones. Fed
eral olfieeholders, in violatiou of the
civil service reform dootrines Mr.
Cleveland had himself laid down so
dogmatically, devoted themselves, with
tho encouragoment of the administra
tion, to thwarting, by fair means or
foul, tho will of tho party.
It cannot bo protended that thoso
things wore dono in tho hopo of suc
cess. Thero was no hopo of success
for tho gold standard after tho Ken
tucky and Tennesseo primaries. It is
only conceivable' that tho fight wus
continued in order to inllume tho feel
ing between tho gold and silver ele
ments and prepare tho former for tho
further stop which was taken at
Chicago and tho final action at Indian
apolis.
Tho light for gold corvometallisiu la
tho Chicago ojnvention was, as wo be
lieve, planned and promoted by the
administration. It could not win, that
was plain, but It would tend to empha
size tho division and make acquies
cence by ulio minority loss probable.
Tho President's friends professed to
bolievo that they coulu divert tho con
vention from its purpose aud thus ex
cited hopes among the gold men in the
east which only served to make their
disappointment more bitter and their
rescntmont moro profound.
Then came the lndianapo1 Is conven
tion, tho final device of the same men
to .vrcok tho party. It never would
havo been held but for tho encourage
ment given It by tho administration:
it could not havo becu held save for
tho t'-aln of preparation laid by the
administration. A word of discourage
ment from President Cloveiand would
have prevented it, but, far from fear
ing that, all who took part in it. felt
that thoy were commending them
selves to his highest favor.
Tbo schcino worked well. Tens of
thousands of Democrats in the doubt
ful States, who, while preferring tbo
gold standard, Would havo acquiesced
hi tbo decision of the party and, at the
most, refrained from voting, woro led
on aud on, fed ou falsehood and fury,
committed first to tno decoy ticket and
then at tho hist moment delivered
over to the Republicans. Trained in
tho preparatory school of Republican
ism and encouraged by the administra
tion, thoy gave thoir votes to MuK'.nley
and olectcd him.
Thoro can bo no doubt that tho vote
so stimulated was the deoidmg factor
in tbe middle west. But for it the
free silver and Populist accessions
would have given the Democracy tho
States needed for tho oloction of
Bryan. For the result Mr. Cleveland,
as much as Mark Hunnu, is responsi
ble.
Grover Cleveland has had the
highest honors his party could bestow.
Nominated for the presidency three
times in succession and twico elected,
supported In defeat as In victory while
tho party thought hia heart was with
the people, ho will go out 0f ollice with
less of confidence or regard than any
President since Van Buren. Ho has
wreaked his vengeance on hid party
for revolting against his mastership,
but what ho has done will destroy his
own fame. He has not gained the
favor oven of tho Republicans bo has
served. To a small class who regard
moro their own privilegos than the
welfare of tho people he will remain
(or a timo an idol, but this sort of fame
is not broad nor lasting. Posterity

ARMENIAN PERSECUTIONS.
Steadfast Adherence to Their Puith
Amid Tribulation.
St. Louis Republic.
In no country on earth, perhaps,
haa tho Christian religion contended
against such fearful odds (ib in Ar
menia.
Away back in tho fourth contury,
lesd than 300 yours from the date upon
which tho lust book of tho now lesta
mont was finished, Tiridatestho Groat,
the ruler of Armenia, was convorted by
St. Gregory. Armenia was at that
timo a Roman province, but its ruler
wus a native prince, and his example
was followed by thousands of tho nob'
ity and common peoplo.
From that tlmo down to tho proaont,
a poriod of ovor l,f>00 yoars, Armonia
has huon the bulwark of Christianity
in Asia. But tbe standard of him who
died on Calvary, and whoso teachings
havo boon practiced " oven in tho
uttermost onds of tho world" has not
hold aloft by this determined people
except under tho most advorso clroum
Btanoes.
Soon after tho death of Tiridates,
aud when tho little band of Armenian
Christians had hcon reduced to a
mero handful by the incursions of the.
pagan tribes, which surrounded them
on all sldui?, their country w.n literally
overrun by tho Persian lire-worship
ors.
Hardly had it reCOVCed f'o;n this
{lagun raid bofofo its Christiuu popu
atlon was agftls decimated?thia tlmo
by the Mohammedan caliphs, who
proceeded to put every man and wo- J
man to the sword who would not!
i publicly declare that " there is uo ?pd 1
out God, aud Mohammed is his pro
! phot."
j Uut tbe Christian watch tires did
I not entlroly drj out, oven during the
j previrleu.ee of thu ;?>? at storm of ad
versity. From the few sparks which
were preserved through those perilous
times ppraog tho movemont wh h
nearly wholly christianized that iso
lated Asiatic rogiou during tho ninth
and tenth centuries. During the two
centurioB mentioned Armenia was
ruled by nativo princes and enjoyed
groat prosperity. The 11th century
inaugurated another era of massacro
and devastation, tho almost defence
less Armenian Christ inn.- beiog th's
timo assailed by both the Greeks and
tho Turks, who divided tho country
between themselves, leaving but one
or two tributary princes. They with
stood this crucial test, as they had
several others, however, and came out
as tb3 " United Armenian Provinces "
within less than a century.
In tho 13th century the Mongols took
their turn and almost wiped the Ar
menians olT tho faco of tho earth, but
they arose, and was quite prominent
in Asiatic affairs until tbo middlo of
the 15th o-mtury, when their country
was divided between Persia aud Tur
key. Then came a struggle between
the two couuf.ries last mentioned for
tho possession of the ancient provinco,
In which, of course. Armenia was tho
greatest sufferer. Exrly In the pres
ent century the Rustan czar took a
band, declaring himself to bu the
" protector" of Christian rights in Ar
menia. Tho British havo also pro
claimed themselves champions of
Christianity in the east, but tho massa
cres of Armenian Christians by Turks.
Kurds and pagans continue, just tbo
same as they bavo except the short
intervals of comparative quietude, for
more than 1,501) years. Any people

IN TUE "ODD DOMINION.'
The Loyalty of Virginia to the Mother
Country? Tho Drinking Debits of
Other Dave.
Many of the old soldiers who cimpcd
aud fought on the " Rapldao " while
in the army of Northern Virginia will
read the following article by R>v. Dr.
J. C. l?den, of Richmond, Va., with
peculiar interest:
Tho Piedmont region of Virginia is
a uotablo country from many points of
view ; but ono of tho most striking
things in its history is its pronounced
loyalty to tbo mother country during
the colonial days of the Old Domin
ion." Tho very names of its rivers at
test tbid loyalty. In accordance with
popular custom, 1 write " Rapldan '";
hut the Hon. B. Johnson Barbour, who
was excellent authority in such mat
ters, used to say that this was a cor
ruption of tbe " Rapid Anne." The
? river was named for Queen Anne. O .e
of the counties along whose borders it
llov/s is named Orange, for William,
Pvlnoo -' Q#T*vget,ajQd not "on account
of the red co'or oi j'??r "HK" l?u^<.^
1 Aune must have been highly popular
p here in tho colonial days ; for in this
region wo have not only tbo Rapid
Aune river but the North Anna, the
South Anna, and the Rivanna, and one
1 of the countios is called Piuvanua.
Why so many rivers should have been
named "Anna," or "Aune," for a queen
1 who was notoriously not fond of water
bu5 decidedly preferred something
' stronger, i& a question with which my
antiquarian lore is not strong enough
to grapple, and I must leave it to those
who are curious aud expert in such
matters.
in tbo days of Queen Anne, how
ever, " temperance :' had not been in
' vented. Nearly every one of the
biographers ol that excellent man,
Aduison, mentions tbo fact that this
great writer was food of his glass, and
sometimes drank too freely, lint, as
? Maoaulay very justly observes, tbi
fauit, in that day, and even among
serious people, was regarded r.s one of
the smallest of peccadilloes; and he
adds that it was almost as common for
a " gentlemans' to drink too much as
it wh- for him to wear a wig and a
1 sword. Really, and iu spite of the
" pessimists," it docs seem tbat in our
time we have "reformed that indif
ferently ;" nor do we think it altogeth
er wild to hope that WO shall, in time,
11 reform it altogether." Certainly it.
is now no part of the character of a
"line gentleman" to got drunk. To
any American statesman it is now a
decided disadvantage to bo known as a
hard drinker. Fifty years ago, quite
a considerable number of tii ^ anlest
party leaders, Whigs aud Democrats,
were nototiously and shamelessly in
1 tompcrato in thoir habits, and several
of thorn were known to appear as
speakers in thoSenato, in the "House,"
and on the "stump," so far gone in
drink as tobe scarcely ab'e Instand.
Nowadays we seldom hear of the mel
ancholy exhibitions. Public senti
menton this subject is growing healthi
er, and it is now very gouorally desired
that our legislators, judges, and other
public officials should be sober men.
Some forty years ugo, at a county
court-house in Virginia, a friend of
mill" was rcquosted to use his in
tlnenoe to release a prisoner who had
been committed to jail on tbe charge,
"Drunk and disorderly." My friend
undertook the task. In performing it,
ho had to do with the "committing
justice," the sheriff, the clerk of COU.'t,
tho Commonwealth's attorney, and tbe
jailer ; and every ono of these o?loials
was found to bo drunk, a >d, upon
reaching tbo jail, he found the prisoner
drunk '. 1 do not believe that this case
could now bo matched anywhere in
Vir?, inia.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Treatment of Burns.
Central Christian Atlvocuto.
Diimh Sturgis writes is Harper's
Bazaar on "Minor Ills of the Fam
ily." In regard to the treatment of
burns she says: The usual house
hold catastrophes iu burns come
wit hin the two first grades of the
surgeon's list?first,thoso that redden
the surface merely and smart pain
fully, and s coud, those that blister
the surface burned iu one large or
several little blisters.
The sudden great rise in tempera
ture of the portion of the skin that
is exposed to steam or flame or a
highly heated surface injures tho ex
posed ends of the sensory nerves,
hence the exquisite pain. The main
thing to do is to at once protect the
surface from the air, the skin being
now supersensative to every breath.
A homely but not-to-be-laughed-at
remedy in a slight burn is to dredge
the part with flour. Do not heap
and pack the flour on, but sift it on
lightly till the surface is well covered.
Flour is always at hand, so should
be remembered as at any rate an im
mediate relief. Better still, spread
a piece of linen (very soft and old)
with vaseline enough to completely
cover the service burned, and lay
over it another covering of gutta
Percha. One of the best applica
tions for a burn is Carron-oil, so
called from having been first used
to dress burns at the Carron fur
naces. It is made of equal purls of
linseed oil and lime water. So ben
eficial a remedy should be kept in
the house, and it can be made at
home very cheaply if the oil and a
piece of quicklime can be had. Slake
the lime by dropping it into water.
A white powder will be precipitated;
drain off the water, aud put the
powder into somo cooled boiled water
and shake; when the water has taken
in solution all the lime that it will
, hold, pour oil* the liquid into a clean
bottle, und the lime water is ready
for use. To dress a burn with Car
ron-oil, wet a piece of linen in it,
and lay on the wound, cover with
gutta-percha tissue; as soon as the
lineu dries, wet again, and continue
to keep the burn wet till the "lire"
'r. of the wound. Protect the
skin of a burn till it loses all.sen
sitiveness, as if once abraded it heals
very slowly. If the burn blisters
and the blister is small, let it alone,
as the skin will absorb the fluid in
the blister in time. If there is a
large blister or several small ones,
open them very cuiefully on the
lowest dependent point, never on
top. Make a very small opening
with a needle that has been steril
ized before it is put into each blister,
and is wise to introduce the point of
the needle under a hit of uninjured
skin next the blister, and then gently
to express the fluid. Then cover
with a moist dressing made of the
Carron-oil. Exquisite care is neces
sary to prevent carrying even micro
scopic dirt into an open wound,
since this external interference of
germs is more apt than the original
injury itself to make mischief.
Some Pertinent Questions.?

?Sound steamer a short time :>go.
Here is what he asked nie in the
course of the day:
" Do they call this a Sound steam

" Is that Witter down there any
wetter than the water on the Atlan
tic Ocean ? "
" What makes the water wet, any
how P "
"How many men could be drown
ed in water as deep as that?"
" If a mamma fish couldn't get
any worms in the water for the lit
tle fish, would she go ashore and
dig for them ? "
" Suppose a whale came along and
sat for three days on an oyster so
that he eon Id n't, opon his shell,
would it suffocate Hie oyster?"
"Doesn't the dampness ever give

The Habit ok Courtesy.?Po
liteness is always a mark of good
breeding, and some of the greatest
men have been noted for their cour
tesy. Many years ago the errand
boy employed by a publishing house
was sent to procure, from Edward
Everett, the proofsheets of a book
which he had been examining. The
boy entered the vast library, lined
from floor to ceiling with books, in
fear and trembling. But Mr. Everett,
turning, received the hoy with reas
suring courtesy, hade him sit down,
chatted kindly as he looked for the
proofsheets, and asked, "Shall 1 put
a paper around them for you ?" as
politely as if his visitor were the
President. The boy departed in a
very comfortable fram of mind. He
had been raised, in his own estima
tion, by Mr. Everett's kindness, aud
has never forgotten the lesson it
taught him.
?Somo one inquired of a colored
man who was just beginning to read
what progress he was making. "Oh,"'
he exclaimed. " 1 am out of the Iiible,
and into the newspaper."
