dent johnson and Superintendent Alex
ander. OF the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, ali engine and passen-

posal OF some Of the prominent visiting
railroad men, and at about II O'Clock
started from the intersection of Trade
street, and proceeded Westward on the
Airline Road some twelve miles, to o
place to be known hereafter as Potiphar
Station. The advent Of euch train on
the new line created quite an extended
excitement in the Western part OF our
city. as heralding "the good time cow.
ing" when trains will be run every day
and all the time. Among the nota.sIe
railroad men on board were Colonel
Hudnutt. General Inspector OF the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad; Colonel
Buford, President of the North Carolina
and Richmond and Danville Railroad
Superintendent Talcott, OF the above
roads; General Alexander, Superintend.

vege elso several directors of the Sonth
Carolina Railroad, and other gentlemen
interested In railroad improvements
The day was cloudy and pleasantly
warm, without being uncomfortable,
and the exoursionists enjoyed to the full
the pleasant and exhilirating sensations
OF the ride. The country, the grade Of
the road and the track were all duly con-
adhered, and the best OF satisfaction ex
presped BY the distinguished visitors at

A MELANCHOLY END.-The even tenor
OF ife'in this town was disturbed on Sa-
turday morning last by the information
that the dead body Of a man had been
found In we'll situated upon the Wa
verley House lot. Efforts were made
soon after discovery to get the body
from the well, and when this was accom-
plished. the remains were identified as
those of q stranger in this vicinity,
named P. w. Morris. who had been
stopping at the Waverley House for five
or six days previously. The appearance
OF severe wounds. as if inflicted by
knife upon che throat and left arm of de-

timony adduced at the coroner's inquest,
which was held during the day before
John @. Whiteaeld. Esq, Trial Justice

proved this assumption. and clearly de-
monstrated that the deceased committed
suicide, which was caused by intemper-

A RuENING REL1sIoNA One d cold
winter evening, as l was returning to
the temple in which 1 lived, in Japan,
/ saw man running by me with pa
per lantern in his hand, which he tinkled
briskly, and though the night was bitter
cold, he had nothing upon his body but
loose cloth about his waist. His bare
feet battered against the sharp, rough
stones as he passed by. f7l
pitied the poor fellow, and asked
the guard who accompanied me what it
all meant He laughed, and replied
that it was t'only his religion" that he
did and suffered all this to gain the
goodwill of his god 7a-Fs' 2. 2.
OH how sad is this compared with
the true gospel of love, which teaches us
that the blessings of religion are the free
gift of God We do not need to ring
bells or expose our bodies to cold winter
winds, In order to attract the attention
of our heavenly Father for he is ever
ready to hear us when we pray. But
millions of poor heather do not know
this. And will not some boy or girl
resolve to come out, to tell those who
are running over stony roads that there
is "better way" unto everlasting life ?

AN IMPORTANT MovEMENT.--The right
to elect pope is conferred by the con-
stitution of the Roman Catholic church
on the College of Cardinals, but by us
age and tradition, if not by definite
established law, the four Roman Catho-
lie powers-France, Spain, Italy, and
Germany-have right to veto the cleo
ton of any candidate proposed by any
acceptable to the college. 1t is reported
that at the time of the meeting of the
Ecumenical Council, insl87O, secret
bull authorized the cardinals in Italy,
who are Jesuits, to elect successor to
Plus TX, and that they have since, in
accordance with that bull, and by secret
election, proposed as his successor,
prominent member of the Jesuit order.
The official organs of the. Emperor of
Germany denounce this action in strong
language, and it is now reported that
Prince Bismarck has addressed to the
other three powers note, inviting them
to send delegates to Rome for the pur-
pose of taking steps for the convocation
of a new conclave. Of these powers,
two-probably Spain and Italy-have
acceeded to his proposition, and it now
looks as though these three governments
would make common cause against any
attempt to continue the Jesuit control Of
the church after the death of the present
pope. 1t is very certain that the Jesuits
will not willingly yield their present ad-
vantage, SO that it is not at all impossi-
BILE that we may live to see the church
divided, as it has been more than once
before, by contest between two popes,
one supported by the Jesuit faction and
possibly by France, the other by Italy,
Spain, and Germany, and by the whole
force of the liberal Catholics of all
lands. In such case the latter would
probably obtain possession of the Vatican
and St. Peters. 1t would be ASSUMING
too much to attempt to prophesy results
but it is very evident that there arr
troubulous times ahead for the Jesui
politicians. ...a,. ,ss.s

GoDIN NATURE. one has bet
ter opportunity of witnessing the won
derful workings of God in the wide field
of nature than the farmer. His occu-
patton brings him every day in full view
of them. He is familiar with the progress
sive development of the young plant,
and the matured beauty of its full growth.
He is we'll acquainted with the sunshine
and the shadow, the softly falling dew
and the heavy rain, the gentle breeze
and the rushing tempest. Some, from
their very familiarity with these evidenc-
es of divine wisdom, lose all interest in
them, and look on them with little more
regard than the beasts that perish
Others, indeed, recognize the hand of
God; look on its movements with awe
and dread-but 60 no further But it
is only the christian that can see in ev-
erything the hand of Father. Other
men may wonder and admire; he can
love and praise. Everywhere around he
sees the finger of God, and he rejoices to
know that that God is his friend and
when, in the tempest or thunderstorm,
mems hearts are failing them for fear,
he can be in peace, knowing that he is a
son of Him whom the winds. and the seas

of, and if they have not experienced
these, they have never met true happi

SHEEP AS WEED ExTERMINAToRs.-
1t may not be known to farmers in gen.
eral, that it is a common practice in
some parts of the country to turn sheep
into the potato field, for the purpose of
eating down the weeds. The sheep will
not touch the potato vine. This pastur-
ing with sheep is advantageous, when
the crop is late planted one, so that
the hoeing cannot be completed until af-
ter the haying or harvesting is finished.
At the growing season it is the farmers
aim to keep down the grass and weeds.
so that they may be covered by the cul-
tiyator and hoe. when these are used.
Pasturing with sheep will attain this OBJ
ject Early planted crops, the cultiva-
ton of which is completed in the early
part of the summer, frequently become
grassy and weedy, before the time of dig
ging, when the size of the tops precludes
cultivation. In this stage the sheep are
economical weeders. 1t is hardly nee
essary to mention that the feed thus
given to the sheep, makes double profit,
inasmuch as it costs absolutely nothing.
while labor is saved, and weeds prevent
ed from seeding.
