Excitement in Mississippi.

The Mississippi Meridian learns that Ia
the counties of ChOctaw, Clark. Wash
ington, and Wayne, in that State, Sc
rious excitement exists among the planters
similar 10 that in Texas. 1t appears that
discovery has lately been made that in
one neighborhood combination OF aboIl-
rionists, who boldly defy public opinion,
has existed for some time. A party Of
men appointed by public meeting IN,
Geriook to give them call, but they arm.
ed themselves and offered resistance.
It's said that an old mar, named Gil
bert, and preacher, named Mcdonald
are the ringleaders. They are charged
with having been in correspondence with
old John Brown. of Harper's Ferry fame
and it is charged that a point near there
and man living there we're designated ir
old Johns confession.
1t is expected that demonstration suf
iclent 10 overpower them will be got uT
against these men in Mississippi soon
and that they will be driven from the Stale
if not executed. One Of the charges
against these men in Mississippi is, tina
they were IN the habit of assembling The
slaves together at night, and preparing
item for instruction.

A Memorable Gun.

Among the relics Of the glorious war OF
1872, which are TO be gathered al CIeve-
land on The l0lh inst, III honor of the In.
auguration of the naval monument TO
Commodore Perry, will probably be the
memorable "Croghan gum" the brilliant
service Of which is thus related by cor
respondent of The Cleveland Leader:
In the brilIancy of PeIry's victory let
Us remember the unexampled defence OF
Fort Stephenson, now Fremont just Tor
~ days before tina, naval exploit. A
large quantity of stores was collected here.
Gen. Harrison with council Of war had
decided that the post should be abandoned
being indeiensible against heavy can
non-and gave orders 10 MIR. Croghan to
that effect. Croghan disobeyed. or PET
haps before it could be carried out, the
British and the Indians in large body
from Maiden attacked the fort. 1t had
but one cannon-a six FOUNDER.
Sir Geo. Provost, in dispatch to the
Home Government from Montreal OF
Aug. 25, 1913, states that Gen. Proctor
moved forward from Maiden, July 2Oih,
with $50 regulars and between 300 and
400 Indians and six pieces Of artillery.
Fort Stephenson was garrsoned with $50
men under Croghan. whO had usl turned
his 2!si wear Proctor demanded sur

danger of provoking a general massacre

would have died at his post.

THE WESTERN CRoPs.-The move
men,s of grain at the West are IemaTka-
I'll, active. The receipts Of wheat and
corn a, Chicago on The 10th and l7h
amounted 10 53s, 600 bushels, and the ship
ments eas,wa 10 100000 bushels. Ac-
counts from Wisconsin report that the
new wheat ihreshes out even better than
the estimates, and that the crop will not
fall one kernel short of 30,000,000 BUSH
els, being the largest crop ever harvested
in the State. An intelligent officer of the
Iowa Stale Agricultural Society estimates
the surplus wheat crop Of tha, State al
$1,000 900 in value. and the surplus COIN
crop at 100000 in value.

About Hating.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while. Your
life is not long enough to make it pay to
cherish ill-will or hard thoughts toward any
one. Why if that man has cheated you
or that woman has played you false ?
What if this friend has forsaken you in the
time of need, or that one having won your
utmost confidence and your warmest love,
has concluded that he prefers to consider
you as stranger? What difference will
it make in few years, when you 60 home
to the undiscovered country? All who
treat you i'll now will be sorry for it then,
more so than you, even in your deepest
disappointment and grief can be-
A few more smiles, few more tears,
some pleasure, much pain, a little longer
hurrylng and worrying through the world,
lome hasty greetings and abrupt farewells,
and our play will be played out and the
injurer and the injured will be led away
and ere long forgotten. Is it then worth
while to hate each other.

The Terrifying Surmise.

Nothing save the essential truths of
Gods word can give comfort and true
peace either living or dying. Whilst liv-
ing, if men are not resting on the word of
God, they can at least have no rest in de-
-nylng it. The very fear lest the Bible be
true Is enough to mar all earthly enjoy
ment; A celebrated infdel once said to a
friend OF bus who had imbibed the same
pprlnelples: There is one thing that mars
all the pleasure OF my life Indeed re-
piled his friend, and what is that p He
answered, 4 am afraid the Bible is true
IF | could know certainly that death is an
eternal sleep, I should be happy my joy
would be complete! But here is the thorn
that stings me. This is the sword that
pierces my very soul If the Bible is true,
my soul is lost forever
