is very neat volume of asa pages. New York:
r. Carter & Co.
They profess to be drawn from old chronicles of
the period to which they REFER and are founded on
facts and actual occurrences of those eventful
times. They are intended to show us what Ger
man Professionalism had to suffer for its faith The
tone and sentiment of this book is excellent, and
if it were not for one thing, we could commend it
heartily. What kind of historical information
will young people grow up with, who get facts and
fiction mixed up together? Can it be anything
else than most awkward and embarrassing jun

1t will give us sincere pleasure to do whatever
NAV be in our power to promote the praise-worthy
objects referred to in the card inserted above
Our information is that a number of families from
the North have recently removed to Christians
vile, and that they are anxious to establish a
school and Presbyterian church in that place.
Can they not find some good and efficient man for
the position2
We are sure that true Presbyterians from the
North, or any quarter of the world, who come to
find new homes among US, and who Indicate de-
sire to cast in their lot with US, viii find among
Southern Presbyterians a cordial welcome. And
as many as walk according to this rule, peace be
on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. ="

Lord Byron's writings in respect to their moral
tone are tull of deformity. So we Judge from
having great many years ago read very little Of
them, and never since. His poetical genius was
superb. Anything casting light on his character
is interesting, and the opportunities enjoyed by the
Countess Guiccioli seems to have been ample.

pigmies contract even their limited
ideas. Let us, therefore, clasp every
hand extended in earnest amity. Let
us ignore bygones, and an oblivious veil
will cast mellowing hue over sections
long estranged, and lingering enmities
will be readily obliterated as the waving
wheat buries all traces of CORY battle
fields beneath ripe and golden har-
vest"
We have no special comments to
make upon this great effort of MIR. Hoge,
who, after the contest has been conclu-
ded and the smoke of battle clears a
way, appears upon the empty battle field,
raising his crimson banner, and brand
isbing the avengiug sword, and making
fattering promises
The speech speaks for itself. Its flip
pant tone, its imhammatory style, its
seductive appeals, its sophomore char
acter, its nerveless sentences, and its
transparent humbuggery, all stamp it as
characteristic of Mr.. Hoge's party. For
the rest, we commit the Hon. Mr.. Hoge
to the tender mercies of the Edgefeld
Advertiser and of "that healthy specimen
of man." as Mr.. Hoge calls the editor
of the Charleston NeaoS.

a WOMAN PREACHING IN A TRANCE.
Mrs. Nancy Birncy was born March 20,
1907, near Cadiz, Ohio. Her father
reared thirteen children, of whom five
boys and four girls are still living. At
tho age of eighteen, while pitching a
load of hay from wagon into NOW,
she was struck by lightning, which
paralyzed the right half of her body
from the crown of her head down. She
was entirely insensible two hours. She
recovered, and at the age of twenty
three years married Nh. Birney. They
are considered wealthy, having a fine
farm and "a good brick residence about
one mile east Of Tippecanoe. They
have reared three children-two SONS
aged respectively thirty-nine and twenty
eight years, and one daughter twenty
six--all married and in good circum-
stances. Mr.. Birney is an exemplary
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, but his wife belongs to the
Presbyterian Church, but she says she
is not sectarian in any sense whatev-
er.
About twenty-three years ago she was
suddenly taken i'll, as we supposed, and
while in an unconscious state delivered
a religious discourse. From that time
until the present these spells have come
upon her regularly every two weeks
At first they occurred on week days,
but for the past twenty years they have
invariably happened on Sunday at a.
bout 10 o'clock A.. NJ. For a long time
the house was crowded on her preaching
days, but latterly the novelty of the case
has ceased to excite the wonder of the
neighborhood, and those who now attend
her preaching are mostly persons from
distance. But rain or shine, summer
or winter, whether there be crowd or
only her own family present, she regu.
larly passes into an unconscious state,
and delivers a religious discourse always
one hour to an hour and thirty minutes
in duration.
She afirms most solemnly that she is
not conscious before nor after her dis
courses of a single word that she utters.
Indeed, it was a long time before her
family and friends could convince her
that she spoke at all while in this
strange state of obliviousness as to what
is passing in the outer world around
her. Cleveland Herald.

Too MUCH M1L1TARY.-Military
here, military there, military every
where, seems to be the order Of things.
A local judge cannot make a decision
involving question of State authority
over q prisoner but we have the farce
of a military demonstration, and that,
too, by order of the President of the q.
States. The military satraps of the
South are ever present and put their
hands or rather their swords, into all
the political and social affairs of tho peo
pie. One decides this way to-day aud
another that way tomorrow, and the
unfortunate Southerners, whether they
have gone through the process of re-
construction or not, are kept in state
of fermentation and Reorganization
Everybody, as a conscquece, appeals to
the military. We take the latest news
from Virginia as an example of what is
occurring in other parts of the South
under this system Of military rule. In
the news from Richmond published yes
terday it is said :-"Accounts have
been received at headquarters of riots
and disturbances between the whites and
blacks iu various portions of the State
Several parties have been killed during
the week. A negro was shot yesterday
in riot at Heathville by white mob.
A sailor was arrested by the military
commissioner, but the citizens the same
night released him from Jail. A white
man named Lett murdered a deputy
constable in Brunswick, on Tuesday,
who was trying to arrest him. Gene.
raj Candy has sent detachment of troops
to the several counties where these acts
of violence have been committed" The
government authorities will say, pro-
bably, that these disturbances show the
necessity of military actions. But it's
the military government over the South
and its incessant meddling with the To-
cal affairs of the people which cause
these disorders. Let the Southerners
govern themselves and let the civil law
be supreme, and there will be peace
Under the existing state of things both
the government and people will be
imbued with the military idea. 1t is
high time that the President, Congress
and all the subordinate officers should
divest their minds of this idea and re-
store self.govcrnment and the civil law
to all parts of the republic.-Ne'o York

ELEGANCE DOES Nor MAKE A HOME

ELEGANCE DOES Nor MAKE A HOME.
Il never saw garment too fine tor
man or maid there was never chair
too good for cobbler, or cooper or king
tosit in ; never house too fine to shelter
the human head. These elements about
US, the gorgeous sky, the Imperial sun,
are not too good for the human race
Elegance fits man. But do We not value
these tools of house keeping little
more than they are worth, and some
times mortgage home for the mahogany
We would bring into it? 1 had rather
eat my dinner off the head of a barrel,
or dress after tho fashion of John the
Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on
block all my life, than consume myself
before 1 got to home, and take SO
much pains with the outside that the
inside was as hollow as an empty nut.
Beauty is a great thing, but beauty OF
garments, house and furniture is very
tawdry ornament compared with domes-
tic love. All the elegance in the world
will not make a home, and I would give
more for a spoonful of real hearty love
than for whole ship-loads of furniture,
and all the gorgeousncss that all the
upbolsterers in the world could gather
tooether.-Theodore PARKER.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Notwithstanding the calumnies heap
ed on JeHerop Davis by thousands Of
Northern men, and, to their shame be it
said, by few who call themselves ex-
Confederates, the people of other coun-
tries never fail to treat him with that re-
spect and courtesy to which his high
character and exalted talents entitle
him.
While such vermin as E. A. Pollard
are denouncing the ez-President, his
tour through Scotland is one grand ova-
ton, as will be seen by the following,
from the London Standard Of August
18th:
"Mr. Jefferson Davis is the lion of
Glasgow and its vicinity just now, him
self and party having established them
selves in that city, and made several
excursions in the neighborhood. On
Wednesday, en- route to Glasgow, they
passed through Dunfermline, and visited
the Abbey church and ruins. Mr.. Da-
Wis then paid visit to Stirling and left
for Calender in the evening. The news
soon spread that the ex-President was
in the town, and as he left per train in
the evening three hearty cheers were
given by the large concourse of people
cougregated on the platform. Mr.. Da-
Wis afterwards visited Dollar. At Glas-
Cow he visited the exchange, where, in
expectation ola WRIT, there was crowd
ed attendance. The assemblage open.
ed passage in the centre of the hall,
up to which Mr.. Davis walked, and at
the end of the room entered his name in
the visitors book. On leaving the
building Mr.. Davis was loudly cheered.
The shipbuilding yard of the Messrs.
Napier & Govan was also visited, after
which the party returned to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Smith, Benvue, Dowau-
hill. On Thursday Mr.. Davis, with
DR.. Charles Mackay, left Glasgow for
Oban. Mr.. Smith and number OF
friends accompanied him some distance
down the Clyde. On leaving the Broo
mielaw quay, where there was large
concourse of persons, MIR. Davis was
followed by loud cheers, which he &C.,
knowledged bp raising his hat and bow
ing repeatedly. A similar demonstra-
ton was accorded him at Greenock,
Dunoon, Innelian, Rothesay and Tigh-
nabruaich, the crowds who were assem-
bled at the different piers exhibiting an
eager desire to have sight of the ia
nous ex-President of the Southern
States Wilmington Star.
