Bishop Mountain was considered the
greatest wit in London. There exist
cd many years ago a vacancy in the
Bishoprck of Quebec, when he turned
his wit to good advantage. He pre-
scented himself before the Metropolitan,
and inquired ifhe had faith, and added,
if you have faith as "a grain of mustard
seed, say to this Mountain, be thou re-
moved into the Sea, and it shall be re-
moved. The Metropolitan replied, BE
thou removed" The Bishop of Que
bee long enjoyed the highest reputation
as prelate.

POETRY
raom THE GENIUS OF TEMPERANCE.

Sung al a Temperance Meeting
Deep, dark, and proudly swelling,
The tide Of death rolls on;
Aud men their souls are selling,
In haste 10 be undone:
They take the cup Of cursing,
And madly drink il down;
Within their bosoms nursing
A ficnd, Of power unknown.
What though a dread damnation
Awaits the drunkard's soul;
What though he sells salvation;
Still does he qnaf the bowl.
Not mercy, loud beseeching,
With kind, alluring voice;
Nor heaven, downward reaching.
Can turn him from his choice.
Ye who are yet delaying,
Who sip the poisoned cup;
Who cheat your souls, by saying,
al will not drink il up"
IT'S not with evanesence
The foe employs his strengths
Bat that deccitful chalice
VIII kill the soul at length.
Your safely now securing,
The oath of temperance take,
And, from the charm alluring,
With giant efforts break:
Fly, fly the deadly pleasures,
No longer touch or taste;
For life and peace are treasures
Too infinite TO waste.

ALABAMA. Oct. 10th. 1893.


We have arrived at n solemn crisis
in our State at the present moment.
You are aware that the whole Of the
Creek nation was some time since laid
OF into counties, and the judges of our
Circuit Courts ordered to hold courts
in them accordingly. The case allud-
ed to above is this: AT the present
term of said Court, held for Russell
County, an indictment was found a.
gainst certain soldiers Of Fort Mitchell
for the murder of Col. Hardeman Ow
ems, who was shot some time ago by
he command of the Deputy Marshall.
Mr.. Anstill, the Solicitor of the Circuit,
issued subpGnas for the file of men and
or Major Mcintosh, who is in com.
mand at the Fort, to appear at the
Court to answer to the charge. The
Major refused to pay any regard to
he mandate of the Court, and swore
that he would not suffer any of the
men to be arrested. The Court issued
an attachment for the Major and men
the Sheriff was ordered by the Ma.
jor not to touch him; he returned to
theCourt next day, and made oath that
he could not take him, the Major, for
fear Of death. Upon this, the Court
sent an express to our Governor for
military power sufficient to arrest the
Major, and to bring him and his men
before the Court. The Governor will
undoubtedly do it, as he, as we'll as
the whole country here, are in a state
oil excitement against the General Go
Vernment, and are determined to sup
port the civil authorities even to the
last dltch-Union or no Union"

SIR: Governor Reynolds has transmitted to the

mittcd for your information. The Gov Suggests the
propriety of stationng part of the Rangers at
koske-nong Lake Rock river, the spring as soon
as the grass will support thehorses. "a force,n he
says, Sat this place will cause.-the Winnebagoes to re-
move in peace, if the treaty with them be ratified,
and it will likewise keep the other Indians in subec-
ton and perhaps prevent another war with them, as
it is found the Winnebagoes and Pottowatamies are
forming combinations to resist the government"
You are authorized to employ the Rangers sta
toned in the eastern dept should it in your opin-
ion be necessary to effect the object contemplated by
the Governor. Yonrs, &c.

should be necessary, and TO establish the Gus.
tomhouse at some secure place within the same
lport or harbor of such state; and in such cases
it should be the duty Of the collector to reside
at such place, and to detain all vessels and car
goes until the duties imposed by law be prop.
lerly secured, or paid in cash-deducting
interest; that in such cases it should be unlaw-
fnl to take the vessel and cargo from the custody
of the proper officer Of the customs, unless by
process from the ordinary Judicial tribunals Of
the u. States; and that in case of an attempt
otherwise to take the property by force too
great to be overcome by the officers of the
customs, it should be lawful to protect the
possession of the officers by the employment of
the land naval forces and militia, under provis-
ions similar to those authorized by the | th
section of the act of the 9th of January, 1906
This provision, however, will not shield
the officers and citizens of the U. States
acting under the laws from suits and per-
sccutions in the tribunals of the state
which might thereafter be brought against
them; nor would it protect their property
from the proceeding by distress; and it
may well be apprehended that it would be
inefficient to insure proper respect to
the process of the constitutional tribunals
in prosecutions for offences against the u.
States, and TO protect the authorities of the
U. States, whether judicial OF ministerial,
IN the performance oftheir duty. 1t would,
moreover, be made adequate to extend the
protection due from the government to
that portion Of the people of South Caro-
lima against outrage and oppression of any
kind, who may manifest their attachment
and yield obedience to the laws of the
Union.
1t may therefore be desirable to revive.
with some notifications better adapted to
the occasion, the 9th sectisn of the act of
the Sd of March, 1915, which expired on
the 18th of March, 1877, by the Limitation
Of that of 9th of April, 1916, and to pro-
vide that in any case where suit shall be
brought against any individual in the courts
OF the state for any act done under the
laws of the U. States, he should be author
lied to remove the said cause by petition
into the circuit court of the u. States.
without any copy of the record, and that
that court should proceed to hear and de-
termlne the same as if it had heen origin
ally instituted therein; and that in all
cases OF injuries to the persons or property
States for dsobeeneeef to TIE a oTdnance
and laws of South Carolina in perform
ance thereof, redress may be sought in the
courts of the U. States.
1t may he expedient, also, by modifying
the resolution Of the Sd March, 1871, to
authorize the marshals to make the neces-
sary provisions for the safe keeping of
prisoners committed under the authority
of the U. States.
