THE SEVENTH WARD ALIyE.-Two calls
to Republicans Of the Seventh ward to as
Semble at Island Hall appear In our adVor-
Using columns to-day-the one for a mass
meeting on Tuesday night, the other, more
restricted, on Wednesday night. We trust
good cOunselS will prevail In these meetings
and that no antagonlsm will be engendered
between them. That q majority Of the Re-
publican voters In this ward are opposed TO
the reelection of Mayor Bowen Is manifest,
and II the opposition to his nomination Is
concentrated there Is no doubt Of Its success.
II on the contrary divided counSels prevail,
and prominent Republicans In the ward dis
agree as to candidates so radically that they
cannot be brought TO a compromise and
unite, there Ia great danger that the efforts
Of both will be neutralzed, and the object
they most desire to accomplish DO defeated.
Let no Emery deyotoo be so impractleable as
20 demand him Us the candidate II the ma.
iorlty favor Richards or any other gentle.
man as against Bowen.
Nothing should hinder the free and full
expression Of the wishes of a majority Of
those who favor a change In the men who
control the city government, aud II ma,
jorlty declare for Emery, let all unite upon
him, but II another man be their choice we
hope the good common sense OF the Repub'
llcanS Of this ward, as Of the others, will
induce them 10 unite upon him.
We arc quite sure Mr.. Emery ls heart and
hand with all good Republicans, and II they
think he is not the most available eandl-
date, It will be his pleasure TO throw the
weight Of his great personal and political
popularity In favor Of such candidate,

cRusAnE oF CHILDREN.

One ofthe most startling effects Of mon
keyish dclusion was the Crusade Of the lit
tie children from Germany in 1912 to re-
deem the Holy Scpulchre. A Peasant
child Of Yendome first assumed the cross
in France, and soon an increased throng
Of boys and girls gathered around him as
hc passed from Paris TO the south, and
with touching simplicity declared that
they meant to 90 to Jerusalem to deliver
the scpulchre Of the Savior Their parents
aud relations in vain endcavored to dis
suade them; they escaped from their homes
they wandered away without money or,
means Of subsistenc; and they believed that
miriclc would dry up tie Mediterranean
Sea and enable them to pass safely to the
shores ofSyria. At length a body Of sew
en- thousand Of the French children reached
Marscilles, and here they met with strange
aud unlocked for doom. At Marseillus
were slaye-tradcrs, who were accustomed
to purchase or steal children in order to
sell them to the Saracous. Two Of these
monsters, Ferrcrs and Porous, engaged to
take tho young crusaders to the Holy Land
without charge, and they set sail in seven
ships for the East. Two Of the vessels
wcrc sunk on their passage with all their
passengers; the others arrived safely, aud
the unhappy children were sold by their
betraycrs in the slave markets Of Alexau-
dria or Cairo. Other large bodies Of chill
dren came from Germany across the Alps.
Many perishcd from hunger, heat, disease;
a few werc enabled to die on the sacred
soil Of Syria; aud it is estimated that City
thousoud Of the flower of European youth
were lost in this most remarkable Of the
Crusades. .-Harpcrs Moathly.

scarcely proceed square in an hour, be-
continually surrounded BY people viowiug

times. These questions he was always
sure to answer, with an unbrokcn smile
extending from cheek to check, with an
unwieaied patience, idiotic simplicity, and
an atFectionate tone Of voice.
To astonish them he sometimes changed
his usual amiable appearance to hidcous

How funny Brown talks.

On Monday evening, last Mr.. Morris
King, manager of the West Columbia
Salt Works, was driving down Front

passing another vehicle coming up, the
wheels ofthe two became interlockcd, and
before they could be separated the fastcn-
ings of the tongue of Mr.. Kings carriage
we're broken off and the borscsset at liberty.
At first, they showed little disposition to
run, but the whippletrees striking about
and upon their heels finally frightened them
so they started of on full When near
Mcssrs. Thrcss & Falrath's store, they
ran against lamp post, and from that
against the side Of a store, seriously injur-
ing both Of the horses; one ofthem 50 badly

BY a scythe that was hanging outside for q

Fortunately tho occupants ofboth carriages
escaped without injury.-Pou'eroy 7elc-

A Young lady iu an Ohio church rest
cd her head on the back ofthe pew in front,
as all devout people do in tie time Of pray :

man who neither bowed his head nor
kneeled. A beautiful plume nodded and
danced npon the head Of the fair one be-
hind him occasionally touching the neck Of
the youth, who evidently considered it q
az or some other troublesome insect. For
a time be bore the unpleasant sensation
withouta murmur. but at last patience
ceased to be q virtue, and from the fash Of
his eagle. eye one could plainly see that the
hour Of "tGat dy" had come. Cautiously
his hand moved toward the supposed Of
Tending insect; then followed a frantic clutch
and a spring behind him. Imagine the
horror Of the youth to find in his hand the
nobby hat Of tho fair one, which he had
torn violently from her head, sadly disaran-
cling tho contour Of braids and chignon.-
the lady was indignant Of course, and the
youth could have been purchased OF an
immense sacrifice about that time.

NAE auN AND HUMAN WARS.

It was favorite theory among the an
cient philosophers that the stars had po-
tent influence on human dcstininy. and.
tie supsrstitious belief is not yet extinct
among Eastern nations. The theory seems
to have new, lease Of life under another
form. II is certain that the physical con-
dition Of our earth depends largely on So
lar influences, and direct connection has
been shown to exist between the spots on
the sun and the magnetic state ofthc earth
Sudden changes in these spots affect mag
netic wires and stations in every part Of
the globe.
Careful observation indicates that great
periodic revolutions occur in the suns SUR
face which manifest themselves in magnet
ic changes on our earth.
The period extends through eleven years
is marked by an activity on the suns surface,
whose force aud limits transcend the pow
er Of human Imagination to measure, -
Some daring theorists have suggested that
these solar changes may influence the hu-
man race by some subtle law. Facts
seem to confirm the theory, for these years
Of solar activity are found to be identical
with years Of financial and social revolu-
tions on earth. The year 1887 was OaeOf
the most disastrous periods in CONNER
