ALABAMA is making desperate
struggle to get out of the hands of the
Philistines this fall. 1t is no longer
democrat and radical, but Caucasian
and African. The Mobile Register
says: The lines in Mobile county and
in Alabama are drawn, and they are
being drawn in the. states of our sis
tiers in Suffering, between the white
and the black races. On Que side OF
the other southern men must be forced.
There is no middle ground in such a
contest.

REVIEWING the condition of the
south, under the head of "Treatment
of the SOUTH the New York Sun de-
plores the fact that reconstruction has
destroyed in the south the best GUS
toner the north and west ever had,
and concludes thus:
The time has at last come when
these crimes must be atOned for. After
nine years of so-called peace the
county is in worse situation, all
things considered, than when the last
gun of the rebellion was fired. Reck-
less partisaiiship, corruption in public
life, official dishonesty and ,demorali-
cation have brought it to the verge of
ruin. Unless there is halt cried and
a reform Begun which. shall sweep
every vestige of Grantism from power,
terrible explosion is inevitable.

This questionlis often asked but rarely an
swered to the satisfaction of the patient. Our
answer is that pulmonary consumption in
its inclpient form is as durable as any other
disease if only the rightremedies are applied
The question naturally arises MS to what are
the remedies? In reply we state that Mars
den's Pectorai Balm las been used success
fully in over a million Of eases, and has been
adopted by physicians as the most reliable
remedy known for the treatment of Bronch-
ial affections.
One great reason that Marsden's Pectoral
Balm has gained such popularity is the flct
that it is within the reach of all, and can be
purchased fronlall dealers at fifty cents for
asmall or one dollar for large, bottle. One
bottle will effect u cure in most cases.

the proposition to select delegates to
the Congressional Convention for this
district, at primary elections to be held
on Aug. 6-the day of the county cleo
ton, and the worst day that could be
chosen for the purpose-does not meet
the views of the Democratic and Con-
servativs voters of Davidson county.
The County Executive Committee have
distinctly announced their intention to
pass upon the matter after the election,
and such a course would certainly be
more satisfactory to all concerned.
Delegates have been already selected
from every other county in the dis

Three men, named Il. Mcdonald, Charles

OIL tanks into the reservoir below by means
Of pipes. One Of the men went to tap one
OF the tanks to open the main hole, when

force. The men were thrown some dis
tance from the cars, their persons covered
with burning oil ard surrounded by a
mass of flame. Help could not reach
them, and not until the fire had abaied
could their crisped Tmains be recovered.
Six oil tanks exploded one after another,

ton. The cover of the main hole was off

A MYSTERIOUS WARNING.
The Remarkable PremOnitiOn of a
Sad Event.
Banner Of Light.

Banner of Light
A0out three mile southeast of the city
Of Schenectady, the highway is inter
sected by the New York Central rail-
road. At this point an aged couple,
Mr.. and Mrs. W., well known to all the
citizens, returning home from an eve
ming drive, were struck and instantly
killed by the train due in Schenectady
at 6P.M. This accident occurred $50
Pm.
At ten minuets past five, a lady in
the city, Mrs. C.of highly nervous or
ganizatiOn, and intimately acquainted
with the unfortunate couple, answered
a ring at the front of her house, heard
by her husband and sister. She found
standing at her door an elderly lady,
whom shehadneyer before seen, dressed
in the fashion of years long since gone
by. The stranger said nothing when
the lady of the house opened the con-
versatiOn by observing:
Il do not know you; do you wish any
thing?"
Nor you" replied the old lady.
''Send down to the six O'Clock train;
the bodies Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. will be
on it"
The old lady then walked off. Mrs.
G. Immediately told her husband, who
was in the house, and asked him to 90
down to the depot, which was not at
any great distance. He, however, ridi-
culed his wife and her nervous appre-
tensions, but being again urged, went
down to the depot to find the train had
not arrived and no report of any acci-
dent. He returned home at 5:40-even
yet before the accident-tO laugh
at his wife and her fears. The train
arrived a little late, and In a few
minutes messenger rushed up to say
that the dead bodies of the old couple
were on the train, and to request Mr..
c. to come down, which he did, and
helped them off. The messenger was
sent up TO Mr.. @. in consequence of his
first visit and inquiries. There were no
means of telegraphic communication
with the place where the accident hap
pened. Afterwards, In describing the
appearance of the lady, to a sister of
Mrs. w, she recognized it at once as

has been dead many years. The actors
in this singular mystery arewell-known
citizens, not IN any manner spiritual
lists, and are entitled to implicit conf
dence in all they say.
RecapituiatiOn: l. A lady three
miles off, was made aware, either byan
objective or subjective vision, of an
accident that had not yet happenedand
the succeeding events.
2. Hsr husband, in consequence of
this message, goes to the depot, where
the train had not yet arrived, and finds
no report of an accident, which even
then had not happened.
3. After the tram arrived he finds the
dead bodies on it, as predicted
4. Theoddly-dressedp person who brings
the message is afterwards identified as
a lady long since deceased.
). The lady to whom the message
came has long been subject to mystic
rious impressions, for which she could
give no reasons, and which greatly
her. On this day particularly
she experienced uncomfortable and un-
defined forebodings- This perhaps is
the most pregnant consideration Of all:

THE CONCLUSION.

\ CORRESPONDENT, writing from White
sulphur Springs, Va, says: ''There is
neither gossip nor light remark upon the
ladies, for the young Virginian has a
strangely exalted idea Of women, and his
talk about them partakes Of the chivalry Of
Spenser and IvanhOe. The ladies them
selves have an easy grace and sincerity
which are charming, after the commercial
struggle for social acceptance we often see
in the North, where the object OF Miss
Jones is to hold her place in the Smith
coterie, and the goal the yo1ng Robinson
desire is 70 be invited TO the party by the
Green's"
