NEGRO TEsTIMoNY.-The Grand Ju
~ Of Barbour County, Alabama, in
their presentment at the late term of
the Circuit Court, thus alluded to ne>
gro testimony:
"This body cannot overlook one no
ticable fact OF frequent occurrence
during its sessions, to wit The very
frank and undisguised manner in
which freedmen gave their testimony
before us-the almost perfect CORES
pondence with that previously given
on the same indictments before mag
istrates court. and the sincerity
evinced in their intentions. A proof
that this is a redeeming element
growing out Of that long association
Of this inferior people with the con-
trolling intellect Of Christian race.
Crime among them is comparatively
unknown"

THE Folly OF "PRoHIBITIoN. The
phenomena ofcause and effect are fire.
quently unexpected. For instance,
they have recently put in force q
stringent prohbtory liquor law in
Massachusetts, but its effect has not
been to diminish in any wholesome
degree the vice Of drunkenness among
her citizens. Ithas only changed the
manner Accomplishment, for where
as the Intoxicating liquor was previ-
ously consumed open and above
board, it is now INDUCED in secretly
and hypocritically under various spe~
cious DISCUSSES. An odd fact, il a
newspaper report may be believed
is, that during the Presidents visit
to Boston, when the liquor prohibi-
tion was temporarily relaxed and the
Glowing bowl was obtainable with-
out skulking or fraud the eases Of
street drunkenness were compare
lively few, while the very next day
after his departure, when the law was
enforced again, the police courts were
fuller than ever Of arrests for intoXi-
cation.-Neao YORK Ereninq Post.

Ma imilian in the United States Senate.

1t is evident from the debate in the
United States Senate that the radical
sentiment of the nation will sustain
the course Of President Juarez in the
condemnation of Macmillan, while
the sentiment Of the democratic cop
perhead party will be in favor Of a
foreign usurper and imperial rule in
Mexico. The parties are assuming
their natural divisions. The copper
heads Of this country have allied
themselves to the tories Of Europe
upon the Mexican question, while tie
republicans sustain tho party Of lib
eralism, whether it be in the United
States, Mexico or in Europe. The
speeches Of Chandler and Howard, Of
Michigan, Fowler, Of Tennessee, and
Nye, Of Nevada, show the republican
current, while the speech of Reyerdg
Johnson, Of Maryland, apologizing
for Macmillan $ atrocious and bloody
decree Of October, 1865. indicates the
current in the 50 called democratic
party. 1t is no wonder thai such a
Bourbon party is abhorred and shun-
ned by the honest men Of the coun
try. Young men are particularly
fearful Of allying themselves in a re-
public with a party of monarchial
sympathies.-M!uapkee Wisconsin.

PURCHASE FLOUR SPARINGLY.-
We advise consumers who have here
toIore purchased their winters stock
of -four about this time, not to be in
hurry this year. From all that one
can learn the crop is very large, and
il the consumers will continue to
purchase as sparingly as possible,
prices must recede to reasonable
rates. There is now a grand ring
forming to keep breadstuffS up to
famine prices. This ring has its
branches in Chicago, Buffalo and New
York, and its leading members are
said to be men of great wealth, with
heavy bank facilities. 1t is well
known that millions of bushels of
wheat have already changed hands
in Chicago, Buffalo and New York,
without bushel being moved. Like
gold gamblers, many parties are buy.
ing and selling breadstufs who have
not bushel of wheat or a barrel of
flour in their possession. They bul
and bear the market, buy and sell OF
time, and pay the difference. These
spectators are simply the tools of
the ring, used to keep the marke
excited and prices buoyant.

Daniel Kellogg, and of Judge Adds,

We have never been able to pay
large sums for these reports, and
hence have never been obliged to
spend much time blowing about our
superior facilities il that direction.
We are fortunate now in being pretty
near the day without any change or
any fuss, and still think our market
reports will be about as correct and
about as serviceable to our readers as
those of neighboring papers, which
pay such tall prices for them, and are
obliged to change so often to keep
up with them.-Erpress.
We can't see why you should "pay
large sums" for your reports" even
if you were ever so liable" for the
good reason that they have never been
worth anything. And you couldn't
"spend much time blowing" about
them, Ell? No-you couldn't. You
are too deeply absorbed gawping at
that last thousand" as it comes smo
king hot from the press, But you
think you are . fortunate in being pref
ty near the market day without any
change or fuss" So you are, and il
puts us in mind of a little story" az
old Abe used to say. Once on time
q man somewhat tipsy was staggering
through the streets of his village, en-
deavoring to reach his home, but tn
houses flew round most wonderfully
and so to save time and fuss" h
took a key from his pocket and point
ed it towards the houses as they wen
by him. A friend seeing him in thi
plight asked what he was up to-
Why, you see, (a-hic) l am waitin
till M house comes (a-hic) along, an
then, you see, I'll just pop (a-hic)
and save more fuss" So it is wit
Br Camp; he waits till things com
round; not having the requisite an
cunt Of sprawl to keep up with b
neighbors in any other way. BIZ
then he has got dignityW Golly !!

ADVERTISING AGENCIEs.-It is. now
something like thirty years since the
establishment of the first Advertising
Agency in this country. At that
time there were scarcely Eight hun
dred periodicals of all descriptions
printed in the United States, while
now the number will exceed four
thousand. Advertisers have increas-
ed and Agencies been established in
every important city, and have proved
a great assistance to the newspaper
press.
1t is estimated that at the present
time there are several hundred men
who make this their business, but of
these no more than twenty are known
to any considerable extent, and by
far the most important are two or
three we'll known firms in New York
city, among which the house of Geo.
P. Rowell & Co., No. 40 Park Row
occupies in some respects the most
prominent position. Although not
among the Oldest. this one, by the
energy and business ability which has
characterized it, has become the au.
thorized agent of nearly every news
paper printed in the English language
in North America, and the amount of
their transactions exceeds the com
bined business of many of the Older
but less enterprising establishments.
At their Office may be found on fill,
newspapers from every section, from
Maine to California, and from thei
books can be learned the rates fol
subscription and advertising.
The distance of advertisers iron
the newspaper publishers, as a gener
al thing, renders it difficult for tn
latter to be correctly informed of tn
financial reliability of their custom
ers, and therefore they usually prefe
to receive their favors through som
reliable advertising agency, which,
consideration of the commission a
lowed, assumes all risk of paymen
and does away with the trouble an
expense of collecting individual az
counts.
The house named in this article
authorized to contract for our papt
at our lowest rates, and we assur
customers at distance that we pr
fer to receive orders through ther
rather than to contract direct wit
parties who are unknown to us, n
matter how good or responsible the
may be.

Chapel of St. George. where five or
six years ago the Prince of Wales
and Alexandra were married. tt was
in midwinter 1921 that Henry and
his bride Adelicia stood here and
were married by the old Archbishop
OF Canterbury, who had sharp dis.
pnte with the Bishop of Salisbury as
to which should perform the ceremo.
ny. The Bishop said that Windsor
was in his diocese and he had
right to oficiate; the Archbishop said
that his was the higher Office and tbat
he had best right. The King had r.

bishop, and from that day to this the
Archbishop has performed the ceremo.
ny at all Royal marriages.
After Henry |. there was Stenher
and Henry II, and then Richard /
who was called the lion-hearted. He
was born here. His mother was
Eleanor, formerly Queen of France
wife of Louis VII That was the
time of the Crusades, and Louis and
Eleanor went with the great multitude
to the East to drive the Saracens out
of Jerusalem. You doubtless have
read of the battle at Laodicea, where
the Crusaders met with disaster be-
cause Eleanor would have her camp
in beautiful green meadow instead
of on the hills. The Arabs We're on
the watch, improved the opportunity
and came laundering down the hill
sides on their horses, putting the
whole camp to flight. The King of
France had a narrow escape from
capture.
We may think of Richard as boy
playing here, and then in manhood as
a brave knight in shining armOr, Gov
cred from head to foot with steel
lighting at Acre in Palestine-his fay
orite horse killed and Saladin, against
whom he was fighting, sending him
another-Richard, before mounting
putting one of his soldiers upon the
animal, and the horse taking the Bit
between his teeth, running straight ID
TO the Turkish lines-then the chiyak
rous Saladin-as brave and as noble
as Misunderstanding back the soldier
on a more gentle steed, with letter
of apology; and then Richard looking
up on Jerusalem from the bill of
Gibeah, Saul's old home, signing a
peace with Saladin at the foot OF Mount
Tabor, on the very spot where BaraB
; and Deborah stood in the great battle
with Sisera, and where one hundred
and seventy years later Gideon ant
his 300 came down from the noun
tain with their pitchers and lamps
and frightened the Midianites, who
t were as thick as grasshoppers on the
plain, and who fed in tears in tn,
darkness. That occurred more thai
5000 years ago, though it is not 70(
years since Richard shook hands witt
Saladin Oh that great battlefield. |
Is long way to Palestine, and TIL
events are far distant in time. but sit
ting here in the early home Of Richard
:, it is easy to associate ourselves wit
those events.

Lyndon Camp Meeting.


Mr.. Editor: This large religious
held in Railroad Grove, was
an entire success. The location was
6ne,- probably the most beautiful and
that could be found in the
State.
We were favored with most excel
lent weather, all fair and bright save
two short showers, which only served
to allay the dust and purify the air.
The grove was in a good condition,
thrifty, dry, and abundantly supplied
with pure water. There were TWEEN
ty-fve society tents on the ground,
besides several smaller ones, and
nearly all so constructed as to be
perfectly dry and warm in case of
rain.
The order of the meeting was as
near perfect as it could well be under
the circumstances, rejecting great
credit upon the good management OF
our excellent Presiding Elder, Mr..
Luce. None seemed disposed to
make disturbance except uery small
number of the chaser sort" who re-
ceived prompt attention by the Wig
liant police. Usually there are those
who attend such meetings with no
good intentions, where they go,
though they are compelled to conform
to law and order, to criticise and to
publish all manner of false reports
and lies. No false report or lie is
too mean for them to carry,-anything
that will reflect disparagingly upon
the ''Methodists." At home they are
usually voluntary UNCONVENTIONAL run
ners, cat's-paws, society-wiping rags
They are determined to Judge and
report camp meetings, very much as
the man did who investigated bis
neighbours fire by looking down the
chimney.
There were a large number of
ministers present from different parts
OF the State, and also from New
Hampshire and Canada; all came
, with the evident intention to labor

We look down upon the town of Elton

HENRY VIII.

1t was in 1491 that Henry VIII
was born, not here but at Greenwich
the year before Columbus sailed out
upon an unknown ocean in search Ola
new world. When he came to the
throne this was his favorite residence
Here he lived with Katherine of Ar
ragon, daughter of Ferdinand and
Isabella, who fitted out Columbus, and
here Phillip the Fair of Austria, and
Joanna of CASTLE, his queen, came 70
make visit in 1906. Here Hours
oldest daughter Mary was born, anu
this was her childhood home. 1t was
when the world was waking to new
life through the preaching of poor
monk in Germany-the days OF LuIr
er and the Reformation, and Henry
stood up for the Pope and receiver
the title of defender of the talII'
Thus we connect ourselves with In'
men of those days who acted grea'
parts for good or evil in the worlu'
history. When Mary was six yeaIo
old Charles V. of Spain, Afterwards
Emperor of Germany, twenty-five
years old, came here and engaged 10
marry Mary when she had attained
the age of twelve! He would then
be twenty-nine. But he broke Dis i,
engagement and married Isabella oil
Portugal. At the Court of Henri,
were two beautiful girls, Mary ana
Anne Boleyn. You know the story
how Henry grew weary of Katherine
who was several years older tnan
