Messrs. Editors : In your paper c

go. George III., King of England
ranted to John Adam Epting an
hristian Dickert, the former a Lt
ieran. the latter a Presbyterian, on
unired acres of land."
Instead of Christian Dickert. i
as Peter Dickert, a German RE

Wallern died about the year 1814
remember very well when Rex
loser was sent here from the N. C
ynod, about the year 1814, an
hen he took charge of St. John's
t. Jacob's and Zion's ch urches. HI
reached at St. John's twice a monti
-one sermon in English, and one il
terman alternately. In his mothe
>ngue (the German) he was consic
red a very effective minister; not s
ich so, however, in the Englis
mguage. He was, nevertheless,
ood Christian man. He served hi
ongregations acceptably until 183(
fter which time some began to fin
nit with him on account of hi
trict discipline. The dis-atisfactio
aused some to become interestedi

Ir. Moser desired to be alone in th

nerated him from the charges. Y4

not called -- Soaptails they went 1

that -- 1 ace'- must surely have tai

Geo. Eichelberger was certainly

To prove tha' this t ;ot tie case. i
is well known t.,.at im.,i aunis an

The fine log church, of which
have already spoken, was converte<
into one among the best school house
of that day. In that house, Ienr
Nicholas and John Summer, togethe
with other-s, were prepared for th

The church now standing is ai
evidence of the intelligence :.n<
energy of th')se good old Christal
people livir nearly a century c
Its dimensio:s are 30 by 50 feet; tih
walls 20 feet high; the ceiling bc:n
t beautifully r ched. There is not on
piece of tim'er in the frame that wa
sawed. Wh2n the building was las
covered son:e of us estimated th
rafters at about 2,000 feet of lumber
There is not a plank in the buildin=
more than 1:' feet long, it being th;
r longest plan': that could be sawed o:
S the mills of that time, (1809). Al

The passengers were jarred and
thrown from their seats, but no harm
was done to them. Tbe engineer and
fireman were the only persons in
jured. The body of the engineer
and the wounded fireman came in on
the train at 2.15 this morning.
The engineer leaves a family in
Atlanta, Georgia. 4 large crowd
was at the Line street Station, not
withstanding the unseasonable hour
this morning to see the train come
in. The body of the engineer was a
ghastly sight and the fireman was
moaning piteously.
A passenger told a Reporter of
the News and Courier that the effect of
the jar was terrible, throwing people
ten feet from their seats, and in some
instances against the top of the car.
Both engines and about twenty cars
were wrecked.-News and Courier.

The cow-boy sleeps with his sad

overtakes him, eats at any camp

at his cabin or beneath the shade

may be. The genuine Texas cow

a mean or cowardly ast, but his
reputation has been infringed upon
-in fact, ruined-by desperadoes
who know but little of cowboy life

and apper.red to be about fifteen
years old. Most certainly, it was
peculiarly interesting to see one so
youthful, so pure and lovely, giving
instructions with such a sweet and
t winning grace, to a large class of her
seniors, many of whom were hoary
headed and even blind with age.
Cultivating the talents and develop
ing the mental faculties will invaria
1 bly elevate one to a certain degree of
1 superiority, as is exemplified in the
t instance just related. But no less
o talented and admired than Miss
3 Gibbes was Miss Bonham. The

model teachers. Mies Bonbam was
f not only a model teacher, but a model
a woman. She was so refined, so so

.Let us not only adopt Miss Bonham's

, During the Normal School, lectures
-were given by different prominent
Imen, and were attended by large
.and appreciative audiences. The
-- most interesting lecture was Gov.
3 Thompson's. One rarely hears such
I a lecture. We are incompetent to
if describe it, but will say, being the
y man he is, enabled him to deliver the
t lecture he did. He has so much
L soul in him, so much noble manhood,
so much of all that constitutes our
Sideal man. Some may not know that
SGov. Thompson organized the Teach
Sera' Institute. It was four years
, ago, when he was State Superinten
y dent of Education.
r Second in interest, was Mrs. Cha

"Her object in coming to Spartan

Strange as this may seem it is only
about two years ago that a party of
four gentlemen entered one of the
lowest of the Bowery Dives. It was
near the hour of midnight and the
proprietor was preparing to close.
Among the painted and bedizened
females who thronged the place was
one whose brazen behavior chal
lenged the sharpest criticismn. The
gentlemen gazed at her intently
and at last drew her into con
versation in her native tongue
German, and it was soon established
that this wretched painted creature
was the heiress to a vast fortune and
a title besides. So infatuated was
she with her vile life that it required
all their powers of persuasion to in
duce her to abandon it; at last she
yielded, and in a couple of weeks
after sailed for Germany to enter
into her title and her vast posses
sions. Stranger than all this is the
impositions successfully practised
year after year by clever swindlers,
and the dear public seem never to
tire of being gulled. Only a few
years ago a magnific"nt Turk ap
peared among us ; just imagine a
most fascinating and engaging and
deluding Turk. He was here to pur
chase for the Turkish. government
500,000 stand of arms, 200 cannon
and five million of rounds of fixed
ammunition. He was a catch in a
mercantile sense, and various large
manufacturers sought his acquaint
ance, loaded him with presents, and
very humbly solicited his favor. More
than one anxious mamma inquired
how many wives he had on the Bos
pborus, and if there were not more
than five she was willing to let her;
darling go. At any rate his magnifi
cent 'lurkship had a jolly good time.
He hived on the fat of the land, he
wore the nobbiest of clothes, for the
extent of his Turkish wardrobe was
a dandy little fez; the rest of his
costume beipg in the very height of
the prevailing fashion clean down to
his patent leather gaiters. This
wicked Turk made love to all the
pretty girls he met, and he promised
at least a round dozen of them to re
nounce Mohammadism and turn
Christian for their sake.
To make a long story short one
morning he turned up missing; his
hotel was out nearly $1000; he
had borrowed right and left of every
body who would lend, and even
captured several diamond rings from
the girls he had engaged himself to.
Then on inquiry they found out what
they might have found out before that
the Turk was no Turk; but a very
clever Jew who was well known in
Constantinople, where he had been
imprisoned for swindling, and more
than once he had suffered from the
bastinado. Fashionable society which
had feted him was shocked-but it
pocketed the insult.and imposition
and said nothing about it; and waited
for the next. He soon came in the
person of an English nobleman, a
regular tip top swell. He set up an
establishment here that an English
nobleman might envy. His coronet
was on everything-his carriage, his
paper and the buttons of his lackey's
coat. His dog-cart was a sight, and
it was said that his drag was the finest
ever seen, but it hadn't arrived. He
captured the town, painted it a bright
vermillion, and succeeded in making
himself a nine days wonder. He too
has disappeared, and the places that
knew him once will know him no more
forever.

We see no reason whatever wyany
one should be ashamed to admit ththe
had been to hear Blind Tom-the most
wonderful musical prodigy that ever
lived. There is only one Blind Tom.
He is genuine, and Is greeted with de
light by crowded houses wherever he
goes. The above notice is the first we
liave seen intimating that there was a
single person livin ashamed or afraid
to acknowledg at he had been to
one of these concerts. Blind Tom has
been in Newberry twice. Both times
he had full, paying houses. We hope
be will live to come again. People ride
a. long distance to hear him play. His
Imitation of the music box, guitar, ora
gan, and other instruments, is simply
grand and remarkable. Then to thin1r
of hisaccurate reproduction of thousands
of the most difficult compositions of all
the grand masters in the world. It Is
beyond comprehension.
This mysterions musical manifesta.
tion beyond anythin the world had
witnessed-a psycholgclmystery
has appeared before the dle of thegreat
cities of the world. His power is simply
an exhibition of the power of mind over
matter. His performance upon the piano
p roves that all the senses are but a mo
dification of the sense of touch. His re
tentive faculties and his intuition aet
with the rapidity of light and shatter, as
It were, the darkness which envelopes
him, by the splendor of his execution.
Nothing in music upon the piano seems
impossible to Tom. To play with both
hands and sing at the same time, each
key being distinct from the other, shows
how wondrously kind nature, in her law
of compensation and rewards, has been
to this blind and almost idiotic creature.

ROADiERI'S NEW 10K LETTER.
Brother Beecher may say what he
like-, everything is not lovely in Ply
mouth Church. Whatever else he
may do. he is bound in the present
election not to hide his light under
a bushel. and it is safe to say in no
campaign for twenty years has he
shown mo,e energy tha:: in the pres
ent one.
'l'hc Reverend gentleman has gone
in to win and if Governor Cleveland
does not reach the White House it
will not be the fault of henry Ward
Ieecher. In the ineantime. however.
!'e is not reclining on a bed of roses;
he ri'eeives letters by the bushel from
all sorts of people, begging h;m to
reconsider his determination to sup
t,ort Governor Cleveland. As well
mc:ight they try to :urn Nirgara with
a pitc:tork or datu the great hikes
w.th i.aystacks. as to turn HIenry
W :r:i IBecher aside when he has
male up his mind. Ile coies of a
remarkably headlstrong family. His
father before . him was constantly
ioing -extraordinary things, and no
sooner had his friends recovered
from one snock than he gave thein
another, the second generally being
much worse than the first. Mr. Bee
cher in his Friday night discourse ap
peared to think that the difference of
opinion i - the congregation was a
v,ery slight affair and lie gave his
::ttditors to understand that in the
thirty-eight years they had been as
sociated together that he had always
had his own way and he intended to
have it to the last, or in other words
he said to the people who are paying
hun $25,000 for thirty-eight or forty
week's work, if you don't like my
way you may lump it, for I will have
ii whether you like it or no. It was
omirrous to look about the room, how
ever, for faces were missing from last
Friday night's meeting which have
not been absent for years, not small
men but those who have been re
garded as the pillars of the church,
who have been foremost in its coun
cils and whose aid financialy has
never been withheld. Their places
were vacant, and though several of
them turned up to prevent open
scandal, yet the Friday night meet
ing.is the social weekly event of Ply.
mouth church, and from that they
were conspicuously absent. During
the week three of the pillars of the
church have given the Plymouth pas
tor a public excoriation. When men
like S. V. White. Gen. Stewart Wood
ford and A. W. Tenny speak out in
meeting, it means something, and
we will be better able to tell after
election whether the defection is fa
tal and permanent. Still Mr. Bee
cher does not quail and at an Inde
pendent meeting last week he struck
back at his foes with a trenchant
power that caused a tremendous rat
tling among the dry bones. This
election will be celebrated for years
to come for the severing o' party
ties and the sundering of old time
friendships, to an extent never be
fore experienced in our history.
Some of the men who stood by the
cradle of the Republican party are
now the most ardent friends of the
DemoQcratic candidate; and life-long
Democrats whose fealty to the party
was never suspected, are following
the forlorn fortunes of Butler or are
openly working for Blaine. A prog
nostic as to results will be much
safer on the fifth of November than
on the third. It is the desire of
every one that the whole affair was
over. Whichever party wins, the
election will have left a demoralizing
effect behind, from which it will take
us months to recover. One of the
worst features of the campaign being
the manner in which the most dis
reputable elements colne to the sur
face and assume an importance
which is destructive of order and of
law, Known criminals are publicly
courted by the opposing candidates,
and magistrates tremble in the pres
ence of the thieves who are brought
before them. The Judge on the
bench and the rascal whom he sen
tences are altogether too closely re
lated. I don'tL know whether it would
be any better to elect the judges for
life ov during good behaviour ; one
thing is very certain, and that is that
nothing can be much worse than the
present state of affairs.
This is indeed a city of sharp con
trasts.
This week a Baron and Baroness
have been discovered, the Baron
working as a common laborer for a'
dollar a day and the Baroness add
ing to the family wealth by picking
rags. These two were none of your
bogus frauds either, but real simon
p gre geuie old stock. The lady
bor i a asleand in her girlhood
waited on by an army of servants.
The Baron too had his castle and re
tainers, but he offended the Emperor
by his marriage and he was banished
from Court. Burning with revenge
at his disgrace he joined a party of
revolutionists, and on the defeat of
his party was forced to fly the coun
try. He reached the United States
having little after paying his pas
sage but his wife's jewels. They
parted with these precious souvenirs
one by one, till at last all were golfe.
Neither of them had been brought up
to labor and they could not seem to
learn the language of our country,
and their means being exhausted
they sunk into the direst poverty.
Hunger and misery drove the proud
nobleman into the streets and after a
time he got work as a common labor
er. His wife looked with envy on
the chiffoniers as they gathcred the
rags in the streets. At last she took
her sack and a hook and every morn
ing when the shop girls and the me
chanics are hastening to their work,
the Baroness may be seen staggering
along under her load of rags and
imane, mnet of which hiae ha gii8,
