Bishop Stevens, of tho Methodist
Church, North, was recently sent tc
the South to look after the religious
condition OF the negroes. In a letter
TO the New York Methodist, the Bishop
tells some hard truths. lie says:
A lamcntablc evil among the coloretl
people is the facility with which they
allow themselves to be led by political
demagogues, especially by tho so-called
carpet -baggers. The fact that these
men represent, in Il certain way, North
ern political sentiment, should not
blind us to the cgrcgious vices of their
character and policy. The fact that
they stand out among the colored
masses, in contrast with the old mas
tcrs, whose excessive conservatism
might cndanger the rights and i'm
provcmcnt of the freedmen, should not
disguise to us the appalling corruptions
and financial ruin with which they are
devastating whole States, and thereby
forcstalfing, annihiiating the best pros
poets of their colorcd population.
South Carolina is absolutely ruined /:
no statesman on earth, no angel in
heaven, can suggest 4 solution of her
! financial problem none seems proba.
bic but the great crime of repudiation.
And this means simply moral ruin
added to financial ruin. 1t Is paltry
logic to say that South Carolina, as the
old leader OF disloyality, deserves this
ruin. What of the hosts OF her black
population in that case? She is, sub
stantially, Il commonwealth of freed
men; they are her dominant majority
Her ruin is their ruin. BY their heed
less concession to the carpet -baggers
they and their children, for an indefin
itc time arc submerged with their fal
less numerous white ncighbors, in &
public wreck which is hardly paral
lclcd in the history of civilized gov
crnments.

MISSION OF LITTLE CHILDREN.

No one feels the death of a child as
the mother feels it. Tho father can
not realize it thus. True, there is a
vacancy in his home, and a heaviness
| in his heart. There is q chain of asso-
citation that Mt set times comes round
with its broken link; there are men,
cries of endearment, Il keen sense OF
loss, weeping over crushed hopes, and
a pain of wounded affection over them
all. ..
But the mother feels that one has
been taken away who was still closer to
her heart. Hers has been tho Office of
constant ministration. Every gradua-
ton of feature developed before her
eyes she detected every new CLEAN of
infant intelligence; she heard the first
utterancc of every stalnmcring word
she was the refuge of it's tears, the sup
plier of its wants and every task Of
affection wove new link, and made
dearer to her it's object. And when
her child dies, a portion Of her life, as
it were dies with it. How can she
give her darling tip, with all these low
ing memories, these fond associations
Timid hands that have so often taken
hers in trust and love, how can she fold
them on its sinless breast, and surren-
der them to the cold grasp of death
| The fect, whose wanderings she had
watched 50 narrowly--how can she bear
to see them Strengthened to go down
into the dark valley? The head that
she had pressed to her lips and bosom,
that she has watched in peaceful siurn-
bcr, and in burning, heart-satdening
sick ness, a hair of which she could not
sec harlned-how can she consign it to
the darkness Of the grave? 1t was a
glca,n of sunshine, and n voice Of per-
petual gladness in her home; she had
learned from it blessed lessons of sim
plicity, sincerity, purity and faith it
had unsealed within her n gushing, a
ncvcr-cbbing tide of affection; when
suddenly it was taken away, and the
home is left dark and silent and to
the vain and heart-rending aspiration
shall that dear child never return ?
there breaks in response the cold grave
silence-neverrnore! The heart Is like
IA forsaken mansion, and those words
go echoing through it's silent cham
| bers.

THE LAST DAYS OF DICKENS.
[From the Londen Correspondence New
York Times.

lFrom the Londen Correspondence New
York Times
The third and concluding volume of
Mr.. Forster's "Life Of Dickens" has
just been published. 1t presents mel
ancholy picture of decaying powers,
morbid unrest, and corroding discon>
tent. 1t may be doubted whether
Dickens, who is supposed by many of
his readers to have been one of the
most genial and jovial Of men, was
ever a happy man; but it would GER
tainly appear that in his later years he
was supremely wretched. AS a young
helped to take him out Of himself. He
was satisfied only when he had an ad-
miring company around him. He was,
in fact, essentially an actor, and miser-
able without an audience, and his gay
ETY. was forced and histrionic. There
was no repose about his character. He
could never endure to be simple and
plain and natural; he wanted to be
always fireworks. At home he was
seen at his worst, suffering from the
reaction of excitement in company,
and weary with his elaborate efforts to
alnuse and startle. Mr.. Forster passes
as gently as he can over the domestic
n.isati ventures of his hero. 1t is not Il
pleasant page, and one is, glad to turn
it. Dickens was always fond of the
hustle and change of travelling, and
after 1860 his restlessness seems to have
become almost Il mania. He had no.
tions of burying himself for whole
six months in some of the reccsses of
the Pyrenees, or of spending a winter
in some elevated and secluded convent
in the Alps. His work had evidently
begun to tell on him. His invention
was less fertile, his composition less
spontaneous. 1t had become an effort
for him to write, and hc.was haunted
by the fear, which was partly true,
that his prime was over and that he
would never again be what he had
been. He had, in fact, lost his elastici-
ty of mind. All this nccessarially
gives rather bad tone to this conclud-
ing volume; but Dickens, though he
confessed himself to his friend, was
tho more resolutc in showing II bold
face to the world, and his letters are
full of dash and humor. He went about
good deal and used himself merci-
lessly. The fit of paralysis which fin
ally killed him had apparently been
impending for some years before his
death. The railway accident from
which he narrowly escaped with his
life must also have shaken him more
than was suspected at the time.

ORIGIN:OF THE ssPRINTER's DEVIL ?

When Aldus Manutius set up in bus
iness as a printer in Venice he came in
possession of a little negro boy. The
boy was soon known all over the city
as "thc little black deviI,' for at that
time negroes were not often seen in
Venice, and some of the most ignor-
ant people believed him to be either an
embodiment or an emmissary of Satan,
who aided Aldus in the work of his
profession. One day Manutius, desir-
ing to dispel this strange and spreading
opinion, displayed the young imp pub
licly to the poorer classes, making this
short but characteristic speech: "Be
it known to you, and to all Venice,
that ], Aldus Manutius, printer to the
holy Church and the Doge, have this
day made exposure to all OF the prin-
ter's devil. And if any think he is
not, like us, flesh and blood, they may
come and pinch him, and they find
that though he is black, he is human -

A HORRIBLE MURDER.

The whole northern portion of our
parish was thrown into a state of ex-
citement this week on account OF a
horrible murder that had been COM
mitted some eight or ten miles north OF
Rayville, the circumstances of which,
AS related to US by Mr.. Irwin, are as
follows: ...-.
A young man came down from Gum
Swamp for tho purpose of collecting
some money that was duo him by
Charles Harrell, who lives near r. M.
Brister's place. 1t appears that Charles
Harrell had bought horse some time
since from this young man, whose name
was Elijah Roark, and that as Roark
started home Harrell proposed to go
part of the way with him, and after
they had been gone q short time gun
was heard in the direction they had
gone. In short time Harrell returned,
aud when asked the cause of his re-
turning SO soon, said he shot a deer and
did not get it. This was ON Monday
evening, and on Tuesday some person
found Roark's horse, and fearing that
perhaps he had been foully treated,
search was made to see what discovery
could be made. Signs were found where
he had been shot, and they traced by
the blood where the body was dragged
along tho ground to tree-top, ana
from the sign here 1t was supposed he
lay here all Monday nights On Tues
day Harrell went off again for short
time, and on returning was discovered
to be wet up to his arm-pits. The trail
of the body was followed for some dis
tance into n slough, and the neighbors
were dragging for the body. 1t ap-
pears that uarrell joined in the search,
but when the signs of the murder were
discovered, Harrcll was nowhere to be
seen, having decamped, and up to this
time his whereabouts have not been
found out, although diligent search has
been made by the neighbors, Sheriff
Liddell and his deputies.
Since the above was in type, we
learned from Mr.. Owen that the body
had been found, tied down under the
water in the slough. We also learn
that the killing was Oh Monday morn
ing, and that Harrell returned Monday
evening, instead of Tuesday morning,
rs stated above
His brains were blown out ut the
back of the head and dragging the
body along the ground, with gun In
hand, accounts for it being covered
with blood.-RicAlund Beacon.

The Montgomery State Journal says ::
"An idea of the magnitude of the negro
exodus from Alabama to Mississippi
may be derived from statement which
we find in the letter of n correspondent
ofthe Wilmington Journal. The writer
was telling what he saw and heard while
on the railroad between Meridian and
Jackson, Miss, and said: tWc asked
Capt. Harris some questions about the
exodus of negroes, and he told us that
he had four cars loaded with them that
night, and that it was the lightest load
he had carried outsor six weeks He
gives an amusing account of the scenes
in the transfer of the negroes baggage,
of which dogs almost invariably formed
