DEDICATION OF THE EVANGELICAL
gent congregation assembled in the chaste
and elegant little Lutheran Church on Sun
day morning to see consummated that
hope which has inspired its adherents
with so much energy and zeal for the last
eleven years, in the completion OF their
house of worship. The services, though
for the most part conducted in German,
were pronounced and conducted in such
an impressive style that it seemed to i'm
part to even those who were unacq1ainted
with the language, that reverential respect
which is always the offspring of christian
love and charity. The four ministers call
ed to perform the ceremony, tue Rev. Mr..
Burnheim, from Mt. Pleasant Rev. Mr..
Burnheim, of Charlotte Rev. Mr.. Miller,
of Charleston and Rev. Mr.. Julian,
lof Company Shops. entered the church
from the front door, followed by the
Vestry, beginning ut that place to
dedicate the church, proceeding up the
aisle to the pulpit and going through
their form in the German language.
After reading lesson from the book of
worship and then the Xth Chap. Of st.
Luke in the English language, Rev. Mr..
Burnheim proceeded to preach from the
Xth Chap. 23d and Oath verses of st.
LIKE. setting forth in very eloquent lam
gunge the peculiarities and advantages of
his denomination, adduoing from scripture
authority for their doctrine of consnb-
sanitation, and the immediate presence
of Christ with his people, gathered to-
gether for worship, claims for his church
to be the Mother of all protestant Church
ca, dating from the issuance of ninety five
theses by Martin Luther in the year of 1911,
and adhering strictly in their doctrines
and forms of worship to the letter of the
Holy Bible. He mentioned as a matter
of information to his people, to encourage
them III their great work, that out OF eighty
millions protestant souls forty seven mil
lions were Lutherans, and that Queen
Victoria's family, though in form Episco-
palians. worshipped privately in Lutheran
Chapel. Mr.. Burnheim spoke in fluent
and forcible manner, in the English as we'll
as the German languages, proving what he
laid down as facts, from history and the
Bible. There were three services held in
the Church on Sunday, and we hope
that it will be the good fortune of the Lu-
therans to get as pastor q man possessing
as much cultivated learning as we'll as
the christian charity that Nix. Burnheim
seemed to possess through the whole of the
services, saying that if there were any in
his congregation of q persuasion other
than his own, that they would throw
around his words, which were necessary to
t'o said On such an occasion, ''the mantle
Of charity and not regard him as egotisiical.

"A Lea u from a. Railway Train under Full
speed E7aryeIoas Adventure OF "a NegYO
Woman

One of the most remarkable leaps ever
recorded, was made yesterday evening by
n negro woman, Ii passenger on the Mem
phiS bound train, within few miles from
the city. Tho affair would be incredible
Indeed, We can scarcely credit it as it ISL
were it not attested by q score or two of
passengers from whom we learn the fol-
lowing particulars of the adventure a
negro woman got on the train at Grand
Junction and asked the conductor to put
her ont at a farm house about ten miles
from Memphis. She said she could not
remember the name Of the place, nor could
she so describe it that the conductor could
recognize it, so he told her to keep q sharp
lookout, and LIT him know when they were
approaching It,
Thus instructed, the woman, who is de
scribed to be as black as old Nick 8 riding
boots, took her seat forward and kept her
eye skinned for her stopping place. When
ABOUT twelve miles from town the CON
ductOr started into the rear car, forgetting
all about Dinah, let the engineer pull the
throttle wide open and come downward ga
bowling" When he got near the door of
the second car, he seated himself beside a
passenGar and commenced pleasant chat,
from which he was startled by seeing the
wench come tearing aft through the car
As she passed him and slung open the
door, he grabbed at her dress but missed
it. and in another second she had reached
the platform and jumped ot1,--the train
going at lightning speed!
The astonished passengers and conduc.
tor saw for q moment confused mass of
calico, red brogans and black legs flash in
air and vanish instantly as the train sped
on. The Mortified conductor jumped for
the bell rope and gave a pull that made
the engineer jump for the reverse lever and
whistle down the breaks as if ninety car
train was coming on down grade in the
opposite direction at sixty miles an hour.
To cnt long story short, as soon as
possible the train was stopped and back
ed up to where the unfortunate colored
female" took her leap, as was confidently
expected, into eternity, and where they
thought to find her mangled remains.
But they were mistaken. The remains
were found, it is true, but there was not
much mangling about them. She was
stunned little, and had batch of wool
knocked off the top of her head, and there
was an awful dent in the ground where
she hit but further than this no damage
seemed to have been done.
TIE conductor made O double of hands |
hustle her into the baggage car, and the
train came on to this city. When it reach
elk the depot, the woman was ''all right,
jumped out of the car and walked off as if
nothing had happened.

from all conceivable sources. Now we
think there is not tho slightest necessity,
III fact it will be in everyday iujudicous to
start political excitement under any phase.
The people of the State have more imp0r-
tant matters in hand, inasnuch as no cleo
ton can take place for nearly year. It
will be to the interest of all the good
citizens of the State to refrain
from political discussions until we
see that there is necessity for it,
Those who are capable of bringing about
changes which will benefit the State can and
will ponder what is right should ha done.
bnt they will mature their thoughts and
perfect their plans far better when not
biased by the excitement of heated discus
sion, and when the appropriate time shall
arrive these matters can ana will be pro-
perry presented We are aware that
quaking carpet bag and scallawag officials
who have been foisted into posts which
they dishOnOr, are anxious, not for benefit
to the State, but to secure place and pelf
to themselves, that an nnallayed excite
ment may keep up the phrenzY of the
Ignorant masses, 80 that the short comings
and crooked ways of these official, may not
be etfectually exposed and at the proper
time rebuked by popular sentiment.
North Carolina has nothing to gain by
political excitement. Her material inter
est demands the attention of all her peo-
pie. To that let US give the next nine
months. We can then ask the people to
come out in their might and, looking only
to our own honor, and our own prosperity,
hurl from place the creatures who have
misrepresented the people, brought disre-
spect upon the credit of the State, and
published their own incompetency and dis
grace. We take the liberty to say to our
contemporaries of the press, and to our
whole people, that we ought to accept no
terms coming from such unreliable heads
as now misguide and misrule the
affairs OF the State. They have "been
weighed and found wanting" We
cannot permit them to continue to control,
and we here repudiate the idea of such an
utilization. We are willing to bury dead
issues, but we cannot permit our enemies
to decide what are these issues. Princi-
pies are immutable. Policies may change,
and necessities may demand concessions,
but principle, honor and necessity all re-
quire that, in the future, there shall be no
resurrection from the political death which
will ensue at the next election to this
swarm of pestiferous Adventures which
calamity has spewed upon the State.

have appealed to Secretary Boutwell, to
allow drafts on the Sub Treasury at New
York to relieve the money stringency here.
The appeal remains unanswered. It has
transpired that Secretary Boutwell, per-

of the public necessity. His action is de.

If space IN our columns would permit,
We would print, without comment, the
whole of q paper recently read before la
Dor association i'll New York. 1t is from
the pen of the gifted Miss Beecher, and
its sentiments are cordially commended to
the thinking men and women of our conn
try. Taking comprehensive view of
w0man's nature, her duties, her capacities,
and her present condition, Miss Beecher
SEXES Mt once the practical IDEA and pre-
sents it with force so strong, and in a
light SO clear, that ali must be convinced
of the correctness of her views. She is not
willing that woman shall be the mere slave
of man she does not wish her sex only
to be the plaything of mans passion, but
if associated with him in the hottest state
to which she can reach here below, that
of wife, she shall be able to fill the station
in all its requirements. If single life be
her choice or her lot, that she may &C.
cept it with womanly modesty and
with womanly self-respect and dignity.
She would have woman in all conditions
of life made practically acquainted with
certain businesses of life. Let her be as
we'll prepared for the prosecution of those
pursuits, as the young men of the country
are for the ordinary occupations in which
they engage. Miss Beecher does not aspire
to step beyond the bounds of modest pro-
priety, nor does she ask that woman shall
unsex themselves, but, like true woman,
she would have her sex equal to the ordin-
airy demands of life, equal to duties which
nature and society, religion and necessity
may impose upon her. We heartily concur
with Miss b., that no woman is fit to be
a t0ye till she has proper knowledge of
the duties of home. any more than man
has right to practice medicine till he
has acquired suitable proficiency in that
science. Extending her idea, woman must
be made practically acquainted with the
offices and duties for which they are fitted
by nature. That thus prepared to do for
themselves, individual respect will be
maintained, outward temptation will be
avoided, and happiness secured in the po-
sition of either doubly blessed matron or
singly blessed maiden. With such educa-
ton. such preparation, and with such en-
dowments as nature las showered upon
them, there will be no need for the ballot
to protect them, for they, influencing us
with love and wisdom, we will only reflect
their inspirations.
