THE GERMAN EMPIRE. E.-The area OF
the German Empire is only 2l2, 900
square miles, or scarcely four times as
large us that Of Illinois, aud on that
smsIl space dwell over 100000 of
people, which exceeds the present po-
oulaEon of the United States, scatter
ed ever twelve times that extcnt OF
territory, and Germany produces
enough breadstuils aud meats for the
support of her population, aud r,i...s
sufficient quantity OF bects from
Thlc. to manufacture nearly all the
sugar and molasses consumed by her

HIDDEN dAND.-lrwln'6 Hall was
we'll filed last evening, to witness the
presentation OF "Tbe Hidden Hand"
BY Rose and Harry. Watkins. Thss
public are familiar with the incidentS
OF this drama, based on the famouaAl
novelette, of Mrs. Southworth, bearing
the same title. Mrs. Watkins elicited
the hearty applause of the audience
in her triple characters. and Mr. Wat
kins, ns Wool" cannot be surpassed.
They were we'll supported by the COM
pany. and the entire play ioyously re.
ceived, the audience manifestinR their
high appreciation by roars OF laughter
and frequent and continuous applause,
Tonight, will be presented the pa
thetic dramn entitled ''Kathleen Ma.
vourneen," in which Rose and Harry
Watkins have achieved such popu.
l"rity and success. This is the play in
which these popular artists have won
the plaudits OF every community be-
fore which they have appeared, and
to night we expect to see Irwin's Hsll
filled in every space.
Rose Watkins, acting in Kathleen
Mavourneen. is 80 truthfully artistic
und natural that it is simply impossible
for one to hear her without being pro-
fouudly impressed with the fact that
they are in the presence of one OF the
great delineators of character, OF which
the stage furnishes but few examples.
Her every movement is grace itself,
her singing is as sweet as the notes cf
the nightingale and her elocution per-
feot. Mr. Watkins is pains-taking
performer, and never undertakes what
he don't succeed in doing just rs it
on3ht to be done.
Ii is the universal opinion Of those
who have been present at the enter
| tainments given by this troupe, both
in our city and elsewhere, that it is
one OF the most talented combinations
now travelling. The managers have
spared DO expense to provide our
citizens and visitors with first class
entertainment, and We bespeak for
them that liberal patronage to true
merit for which Columbia enjoys a
reputation.

TOUCHING SCENE

The Staunton Vindicator, in
its report of the proceedings of the
Baltimore Conference, Nc. f
Church South, records the follow
ing touching scene:
The passing of the characters of
the ministers was proceeded with
and when Winchester district was
called very touching scene took
place. Presiding Elder, VIM. IL.
Wheelwright. rose with somedif
ficulty from his seat, and leaning
for support on his cade, said i'm a
voice broken and husky with
emotion, that he was perplexed
about his action. He had been
though great affiiction during the
year. His mind and heart was
right, but his limbs crippled and
crooked by rheumatism, and he
had determined up To- the time of
arriving here to ask Conference to
change his relations. "Bishop. |
would reather leave the work to
those more able to do it. L
would rather die than be i'm the
way of the work being done. Yes
/ had rather die, and | thank
God, through Jesus Christ. that l
am able To die" The crippled
condition of the invalid, his earn
est declaration, in tear broken
voice, that he preferred death to
being in the way of the work of
God, and his evident perplexed
anxiety still TO do the work, deep.
ly affected those who witnessed
the scene; and AS he hobbled out
prior to the investigation of his
character there was hardly dry
eye in the house. Hardly had the
door closed on his rctreating form
before three or four ministers of
his district, Messers. Carson.
Tebbs and others, were ON the
floor testifying to his labors
Though laboring under the ex-
cruciating pangs of rheumatism
he had visited every quarterly
meeting. but one, in the distict,
and had fully done the duty of a
Presiding Elder. OF his preaching
one ofthe ministers said,"I never
hear him that l don't feel that
from that hour l will be a better
man." Mr.. Wheelwright's char
acter was passed.

Mr.. George Riley of this county
tells us that he cut a poplar tree
on his place short time since
which measured to the fork 118
feet and 60 feet top; the stump
measured 8 feet inches in diam
eter and 90 feet in circumference.
There were in all ten cuts 10 feet
in length; five of these 765 rail,
leaving sufficient for $50 more. In
all, lips rails and seven loads of
wood from one tree. The tree
had been struck by lightning and
a seam opened from top TO bot
tom, but not in the least shatter-
ed or injured. 1t was also perfect
ly selid and sound, without spot
or blemish. The four butt cuts
averaged 175 rails each, and it is
estimated that the whole tree
would have made 80, 900 shingles.
