There is nothing so demoralizing to a man as the holding ofan office of profit. He comes to imagine that the office is his, and if any one else offers for it he feels that his rights are being interfered with. In addition to this the office holder becomes a dependent creature ; comes to feel that he cannot live with out. It, his usefulness outside is conse quently destroyed. Once he gits it, he lives in dread of losing it. To see any man in this condition is deplorable in the extreme. A dependent creature with no self reliance, without ambition other than to hold his office and draw the pay, he is to be pitied. We some times see them not satified with one of fice but pushing for two, three or more. Young man, shun being placed in this position. Aim higher,aim to accomplish a good name and independence in some of the avocations of life and preserve your manhood. Let office alone, shun it as if it were a leper, for jut so surely as you once get it you will never be satisfied without it. The numbers and numbers of men who are hanging around Washington to-day clamering for office, beseeching the President the members of the cabinet or the heads of department for an office, are those who have tasted the ease of office, they have been thrown out in the change of administration and now they go back to the new administration begging to be reinstated. Some of the Democratic party are there too, begging and striving for a place, willing to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage. Let us'be ifen; let us feel that if we will work we can win. Let us resolve to neve'r apply for an office of profit. Any man who will work can win without office. GENERAL STEPHEN D. LEE. It is said that General Stephen D. Lee will enter the tield as a candidate for the nomination of Governor of M'ssisslppi before the next Democratic Convention of that State.

Explorer stanly's Discoveries. [Newv York Sun.] Mr. Stanley's recent journeys betweet the Congo and the Nile have partly fill ed with geographical details one of thi largest of white spaces still remiaining on the maps of Africa. Scarcely an3 journey of the same length has beer more prolific of interesting facts. Agait we are impressed with the mnagnilicen distance in the Dark Continent. Stan ley traveled.on or along a second-c-las tributary of the Congo almost the exac distance between this city arid Detroi Rie found his Arnwimri river, risin; within sight of the Nile waters, to b< as long as the Rhine. Our sniall seal< maps gives only vague notions of th< great water way that are merely Congi afituents, and perhaps many person! who have often examined the maps d< .~ not realize at first that the Mobangi, th< largest affluent of the Congo, is five sixths as large as the Danube, the sec ond.greatest river in Europe, and tha other Congo tributaries are as long o longer than the Rhine. We havens ye had only a bare outline of the importan additons Stanley has just made to geo wraphical knowledge. The details wil doubtless make a long and enteresting niarrative, and the fact that he has it his party trained scientific observers wvill give additional value to his work The Montana Election.

She has fourteen:pnblic school buildings, ten colleges and twenty four seminaries, with 3,600 non-resi dent students from every State and Territory in the United States, from Japan, Corea, Armenia and Germany. The largest male institution in the city is the Vanderbilt, the corresponding female institution is Nashville College foryoung ladies. A place of such de cided like any culture is most suitable for any educational gathering. The annual meeting of the National Educa tional Association will take place here July 16-20. This is the largest assem bly of the kind in the United States. The association was organized in 1857 at Philadelphia. Its object is "to ele vate the character and advance the interest of the profession of teaching, and to promote the cause of popular education in the United States." Any person in any way connected with the cause of education is eligible to mem bership. Membership fee is two dol lars. The citizens are making arrange ments for the accommodation of the vast number which the experience of former years tel.s them will attend-the association. Teachers and school trus tees will be here, the former recreating, sight-seeing, and learning, the latter looking for teachers. Persons looking for new locations can do no better than visit the city at that time. There will be a committee especially to look after such, and introduce them. One of the most helpful features about the-associatlon, aside from the discussions, will be the opportunity of meeting the great educational spirits of the country, and see and feel the drift of minds upon that subject. Of course it gives an occasion for a pleas ant week's recreation at very small cost. All members of the association get -transportation at one fare, and board and lodging in the city for one to one and a half dollars per day. Persons from Newberry can come pend a week and return for twenty ive or thirty dollars. And for fifty tollars they would be enable visit sev- I ral points of interest, such as MamI- I noth Cave, St. Louis, Louisville, Iouteagle, Fort Donelson and the )attle fields of Mufreesboro, Franklin, tnd Chattanooga, as there will be ex- t ursions to all of these and other potins. q N. round trip ticket from Newberry to cashville is good for the summer.

Last Friday was the annual field Iday of the Athletic Association. Foul or five other institutions had represen tatives on the field. Medals were given for running, jumping, kicking, put. ting 16 pound shot, 16 pound hammer, throwing base ball &c. All literary exercises were suspended for the entire day. Early in the morning some one yelled "yi, yi, yi, yip. Van-der-bilt." Another fellow answered with "yi, yi, youp, Se-wan-er in the soup." So when the day was done, Vanderbilt gathered up her trophies and counted them, nine out of the fourteen medals, and v'ictors in the base ball and lawn tennis contests. Sewanee, the rival of Vanderbilt, carried off one medal. The other medals were divided among the remaining colleges. The most attractive feature of the day was the game of ball between Sewanee (The University of the South) and Vanderbilt. These institutions are said to have the best team of any in the South. An immense crowd gathered at Sulphur Spring Park tc witness the game. The first three innings were goose eggs for both sides; then Vanderbilt 2 and Sewanee 1; then Vanderbilt 6, Sewanee no'hing. The Vanderbilts dropped itheir eight and ninth innings, allowing Sewanee tc play on. When~ the game closed at sundown the record was S to 1 in favor of Vanderbilt. Notwithstanding the fact that-Sewanee beat Vanderbilt on Saturday previous, she declined to meet us again. Our playing for this season closed with this game. In the evening at S o'clock the inter. collegiate oratorical contest took place in the hall of the House of Representa tives. Men from three colleges con tended for the prize--a gold medal. In spite of "yi, yi, yip, Van-der-bilt," and "rah, rah, ree, Se-wan-ee,'' the Clarks v-ille man carried off the prize. Every body was pleased with the discussion, notwithstanding the fact that we were beaten in the most honorable of all the contests of the day. The last scene of Field Day was late at night. As I sauntered up the path towards Wesley Hall, half think ing about half a dozen tnings at once, half wondering at the beauty of the canmpus, comparing it by snatches with the descriptions of the CambridgE campus, suddenly my ear caught a sound. It was an orator pouring forth a stream -of eloquence as big as the Nile. A medal was at stake, Foun ders, and the time almost at hand. While feasting my ears, my eyes caught a belated theolog coming irl with his girl. He was speaking of the merits of the speeches, and how much he enjoyed them. She replied "1 Ithought them very common, the boys make speec-hes about polities and socialism and government so much til] they have become chestnuts to me. It does seem to me that a walk through this campus at an hour like this would suggest something more refreshing than those old dry snbjects." They passed out of hearing, and I went up tc my room trying to digest a few thought, on "mysticism." ,T. M. H. Vanderbilt CAROLINA AND THE FLAG. Maj. Gilchrist Replies to Gen. Sherman's Criticism. [By Telegraph to New York Herald.] CHARLESTON. May 7.-General Sher man's criticism abont South Carolina troops parading in New York at the Washington Centennial without Uni ted States flags has caused some feeling among the soldiers of this State. Maj. R. G. Gilchrist, who commanded the Washington Light Infantry in the pa rade, sa d to-day: "General Sherman exhi.its his usual malevolence toward the South in pre suming an evil intent, when it was purely accidental that there was no national flag in the South Carolina line. Certainly the Washington Light Infan try, that was the first company at the South after the war to brave the ad verse criticism of their fellow-citizens by parading in 1S75 under the 'Stars and Stripes,' and have carried it to every centennial since, shonid not be held responsible for the onislion. All the South Carolina companies, save the Washington Light Infantry, were quartered at their own expense in one hotel. They each carried company 1 colors-one a beautiful Palmetto flag, the gift of the ladies of Columbia. I doubt if they noticed that they did not have the United States flag among them. I certainly did not when we joined them after a two miles' jour- t ney. "It was the purpose of the Washing ton Light Infantry to parade under tbe national colors alone, and to that end they carried their United States flag with them. By Colonel Cruger's request they also carried their Eutaw flag, highly prized as the only Revolutionary flag extant in condition for parade, and which waved in triumph on the battle fields of Eutaw and Cowpens, Colonel Cruger promising when we arrived in a New York to see me personally and to assign it to some position where it would be recognised and honored. Had it not been for this it would have been n left in Charleston in the vault of a safe r deposit company. I was over-persuaded C by my command in my intention to leave the Eutaw flag behind, as it was thought that those who would be look ing for it would be disappointed if it t was not in line, so I substituted the flag n ,bat was borne before the Stars and ( Stripes, and was 'Tarleton's terror' all t through the struggle in South Carolina s For the national flag, to which none v ,howed an earlier reverence than the c; Washington Light Infantry of Charles- si ;on. fc "In obedience to orders issued by d ieneral S:ocui asa commander of a " >attalion, I saluted the President. E General Sherman says he did not " ekuowledge it. I thought otherwise, w >ut" presumed his hat was, raised in 1 S ionor of the Eutaw flag." S WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS.

M. WV. H. THE JIM CROWV CAR CASE. Inter-State Commissioner Bragg Files an Opinion, WASHINGTON, May 10.-The follow ing decision was issued to day by the interstate Commerce Commission in the case of Wim. H. Herd, a colored passenger, versus the Georgia Rail road Company; opnion by Bragg, comn commissioner : "It is the lawful duty that a carrier, like the defendant, owes to the traveling public, in carrying out its rule of fur nishing separate cars to white and cot ored passengers on its line engaged in inter-state travel, to make them equal in comforts, accomodation and equipment without any discrimination ; to aff'ord equal protection of law alike to all such passengers, without regard to race, color or sex, against undue prejudice or disadvantage from disorderly conduct on the part of either passengers or per soils. In the facts in these proceedings it is held the defendant violated the law in each of the foregoing respects as against the petitioners." He Asked No Favors of Harrison. [New York World.] Grover Cleveland yesterday denied tile story that he wrote a letter to President Harrison recommending the appointment of ex-Gov. Thompson, of South Carolina, as Civil Service Com missioner. To a World reporter Mr. Cleveland stated that he nominated Gov. Thompson for the position in question during the last months of hlis Admiinistration, because he regard ed him as the very best man he could find for the place. He was extremely gratified, be added, to learn of his ap poiunment now, but lie had done abso lutely nothing towards bringing it about. Mr. Bayard's Engagernent. NEW YORK, May 10.-A Herald spe cial from Washington says: "The en gagement of ex-Secretary Bayard and Miss Mary Willing Clymer, of this city, is just now engrossing the attention of their friends.

A Final Decision Rendered In the Cel ebrated Suit of Myra Clark Gaines Against New Orleans. WASHINGTON, D. C.., May 13.-The Supreme Court to-day rendered what is beleived to be a final decision in the famous case of the City of New Orleans, appelant, vs. Hattie L. Whitney, ad ministratix of Myra Clark Gaines. de ceased. The case came up on an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisi ana and was argued at the October term oftheSuprene Court in 1888. A REMARKABLE CASE. The decision, to-day it is thought, probably has been the most interesting and hardest contested and most pro longed litigation known to the judicial history of this country. Over thirty years ago, Justice Wayne of the United State Supreme Churt, said that when the historian of the American barshould 3ome to write up the case it would )e registered as the most extraordinary ,u the history of our courts. The case iad then been before the court five imes in one form or another and has iow been decided as many times. The irst suit in the case was brought by irs. Gaines (then wife of General oVhitney) in 1834, and since that time lecision has followed decision in regard o it until it has become a by-word hat there was always a Gaines :case >ending. THE FIRST SUIT ought to recover what was known as Zvereste Blance tract in New Orleans. 3lance bought a tract for about $4,500 rom the executors of General Daniel ,lark, a prominent citizen of New Or eans. He sold it and some other land o the city of New Orleans for $45,000, nd the city subdvided the tract and old it to a number of persons for be ween six and seven hundred thousand ollars, agreeing to defend all questions f title. Mrs. Gaines having a few onths before claimed it. The grounds n which Mrs. Gaines based her claims ere that she was a child of General lark by A SECRET MARRIAGE etw':en him and Zuline Carriere, a wo ian well known in the city aria that eneral Clark had left a latter will than .e one under which the property was ld. The secrecy formed the bases on hich the litigation revolved and the ise was fought with bitterness by both des. It was not- until a few years be re the that Mrs. Gaines was finally I rclared to be the legitimate child as 1 'ell as lawful heir of General Clark. i yen then the city of New Orleans did J rtsurrender, and after Mrs. Gaines as forced to bring a suit for damages, 1881, the circuit court of the United t uates for the Lousiana district, gave t dgment in her favor for $1,92.5, i7, and it is on an appeal from this dgment that the case to-day was t ,cided. The present case, it is general- 'l conceded, exhausts the resources of t e law and it is regarded as t A FINAL SETTLEMENT the litigation. Mrs. Gaines, fighting 1 the very last for the rights, is dead d so it is believed are all her imnie- b ate relatives, except her daughter-in- 1 w,Hattie:L. Whitney,in whoes uame, administratrix of the estate of Mrs. ines, the case stands on the court cket Yd ..,AR as iDngton' ..tR KN 1., ma'4 to Mrs. Gaines the Circuit Court @ as miade up of tA parts. The first part irwvas for the amou of $576,707, wvhich ren presents withi terest, the judgments obtained by M3 Gaines in the suit ~rought by h~ against over 400 perseit who occul :he improved part c-f the ei ~.~ sold the city. The Court, in its op igmi allows Mrs. Gaines this amount witi interest at 5 per cent. from 1881, the date of the judgment awarded by th lower court. The second part of the judgment was for $1,348,949, and was based on an estimate of what the im proved part of the estate would hay yielded if judiciously and pro perly looked after. The Mastel who made up the judgment tools the price of unimproved groun sold for in 1837 when the real estat4 craze prevailed in New Orleans and computin g the interest thereon at 5 pe cent. with interest found that thi: aniount should be allowed as revenue that :should have beenreceived fron the unimproved part of the estate. ONE AWARD DISALLOWED. The Supreme Court disallows the award of $1,348,9.59 on the ground that it was based on false principles. Justici Bradley rendered the decision of th4 court which was unanimous. Justici Lamar and Chief Justice Fuller wer4 not members of the court at the tim4 the case was argued and took no par in the decision. Big Suit Against the Richmond and Dan ville.

Therefore "Resolved, by the Southern Baptists in convention assembled. That we favor the speedy and entire prohibition of the liquor traffic, that we oppose license for this traflic in any and all of its forms through which muem buy the right to destroy human hope and hap piness and blight human souls, as an offence against public morals and a sin against God." The convention then, after passing a vote of thanks to the citizens of Mem phis for their cordial and munificent hospitality to the delegates, adjourned sine die. GORDON'S GOOD WORDS FOR H AYES. Georgia's Governor Praises the ex-Presi dent. [New York Wo; id.] In one of the published speeches made by Governor John B. Gordon, of Georgia, during his present stay in this city, he attracted much attention by a favorable mention of ex-President Hayes. As Governor Gordon, although a Senator from Georgis at the time, was the accredited representative of South Carolina in Washington during the troubled days for that State iime diately succeeding the inauguration of Hayes, his reasons for this compliment to the "fraudulent" President will iave an historical importance. A rt porter of the World was thereforesent Co Governor Gordon at his hotel on Fifth avenue yesterday, to secure a statement from him in the premises. ,overnor Gordon received the reporter vith his noted urbanity and said : "1 have always felt that justice to President Hayes was not accorded by ither party. It was my fortune to iave opposed his inauguration to the ast moment, and as long as there was my hope of inauguration Mr. Tilden. 3ut after his inauguration I had been Lsked by Govenor Hampton, who had ,een elected, but not inaugurated, in x,utli Cadolina, to remain in vashing on and look after the interest of that itate. "The condition of South Carolina at hat time was deplorable and alarming.

[Charlotte Chronicle.] The Charlotte postmaster hasr ceived notice that Harvey Withe spoon, mail route agent on the C., C. A. Railroad between Charlotte ai: Augusta, has been removed. TI communication bore date April 29tl though it wvas only received in Cbs lotte on Thursday, nine days aft date. This "date" is probably accounts for by the fact that the civil service Ia in the the mail service went into effe< on May 1st, and that discharge pape were nmade out in blank name, dati and signed before May 1st, so as to el able the Department by a fraud to d capitate Democrats at will. Jim Hagler, colored, succeeds M Witherspoon. The latter has not y received official notification of hisr moval; but he is expecting it by early mail, as soon as the Departme: gets time to catch up with its fraud lent discharges. Mr. Witherspoon's average is ov< 99, so it will be seen that "that litt breeches-maker of Philadelphia," not as anxious to improve the servi< as his pious ways and pious promis led some people to believe. The Ocean Record Broken. The new Inman Line steamship Ci of Paris on her trip from Liverpool Newv York has covered the course, 2,8 miles, in the unprecedented time of days, .)3 hours and 7 minutes, beatim the record of the Etruria, hitherto tI queen of the ocean, by 2 hours and minutes. Considering the fact that th great record was made on the secor trip of the new steamship, before could be reasonably expected that hi machinery would be in the perfect ru: ning order which might be expect from long exercise, the performan< seems much more wounderful tha i achieved under ditrerent circumstar A Unique Confirmation Class.

Upon their own petition they were organized into a separate Synod, to be called the "Alpha Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Freedmen in America." This I believe, is the only separate Synod of Lutheran among the colored people ever organized in this county. Supreme Lodge of Knights of Honor.
