A METHODIST HORSE.

N. Y. Correspondence Boston Journal.
The proposed trot in Boston be-
tween celebrated stations is the
theme of general talk in New
York. We have here a banker
who in q quiet way has been gath
ering for some time the speediest
hOrses of the country. He has q
quiet stable out OF the city, about
an hours ride away. Here he has
q track, and without observation he
is recording some marvellous speed.
He says nothing about his stud on
the street and will not be ques-
toned. No one can get access to
his horses without q written per-
mission from himself, and that is
rarely given. Among his treasures
is q brother of Dexter, 8 gamey,
speedy horse, of which marvellous
things are told. This 0ut-of-the-
way stable is Just now the center OF
q good deal of interest. Among
horsemen it has been known for q
long while that q Methodist minis
ter in Kentucky owned q colt Of
which marvellous things were told
The animal was black as q raven
and bore the name of BlackwoOd
The value of the horse, in the esti.
nation of the owner, may be seer
by the pleasant little price that wa
put upon him. The horseman OF
the street laughed that q plaiI
Methodist parson, in the wilds o
Kentucky, offered his animal fDI
100000! The banker alluded {.
heard so much of this colt that ht
took q trip down to Kentucky (.
look at him. He saw him move
He describes him as q marvel. Hi
nOstrils become red as fire /; his eye
dilate, and he seems transformed
The captivated New Yorker OF
fered $4,000 for the colt. Tn
owner received the proposal wit
disdain. He did not even reply
ordered the horse back into th
stable, and went into the house
Another visit was made, and th
horse changed owners, $4,000,
is said, being the price. Now th
plan is this: When the fame
horses that are to trot on you

wood is to be trotted out to sho'
} what he can do. Those who hay

most extraordinary animal eve

."rHE UNsCRUPULOUA
CREDITOR"
Eureka Herald.


How much unmitigated bosh the
dear people have to swallow. A
law is wanted to protect a man
from his "unscrupulous creditors"
Let us see how much protection
he has and how much moro he
needs. In the first place look at
the exemption laws. 1t strikes us
that they protect the average Kan
sas tolerablY well from this terri
bic creditor, without any other
provision. Again, suppose he has
given a mortgage. It can be
STAYED off under our appraisment
laws for an indefinite time. If he
valves appraisement he gets six
months stay by law. In case OF
death the widow and orphans
have a year before action can be
commenced against them, except
at cost of plaintiff. How much
more stay is wanted?
But look at this "unscrupulous
creditor" q little. What does he
do? Why, he gives credit, lends
money or sells goods on promises
to pay at q certain time. When
that time comes he wants his mon
ey; he has q right to it. 1t may
damage him as much to go with
out it as it would damage his debt
or to pay it. The law should
compel the debtor to pay if he can

THE HHARNEONIAl. FRAZIER
NIFTY.
A New FreesASOVe Establish.
IMena On an Island In Lake
ChamplRin.
Graphic.

oAy SAoPAASs
The curious faith that certain
dreamers cherish in the feasibility
of communism is having a new
illustration in the establishments of
a "Harmonial Fraternity" on Val
cour island in lake Champlain, a
short distance below Plattsburg.
The brethren also own 200 acres
of land devoted to nurseries for
trees), near Burlington, VT, and
thus possess property to the
amount of nearly 100000.
At Valcour island the Harmon
ial Fraternity will locate its prin-
cipal buildings, which, as the cir
cular proudly announces, will in
cludo one alf-house and one hog
house, where calves will be bred
and slaughtered in a strictly COM
munistic way. Here the Brother
and Sister will live in unity, and
what the Oneida Community call
state of complex marriage. In
other words, they will be practical
free-lovers, and will neither deny
their creed nor sit on the ragged
end Of remOrse to any great ex-
tent.
Tb Oneida Community is real
ly tb e only socialastic community
which has achieved any success
without making celibacy condi-
ton of membership. Whatever
tn c reason may be, the Oneida
people have made money by traps,
nd have now some sixty commun-
i.stic children, who would be wise
indeed if they could know their
own fathers. The Valcour island
community does not propose to
enter into the trap business, but
will undertake to live by agricul-
ture. They expect to lure new
members by the bait of free-love,
and by advertising the fact that
"seven lighthouses stud the near
er vision" of those who look out
of the windows Of the Harmonial
Home on Valcour island. Usual
ly a lighthouse is not held to be
particularly fascinating, and as
most of our lake lighthouses are
about ten or twelve feet high they
are not imposing. However, the
average Harmonial brother may
take delight in the fact that SO
many lighthouses 'stud" his Wis
ion. No man can predict what q
communist will or will not like.
The inmates of the home are to
be divided by ''temperaments into
groI1ps aad families, thus avoiding
the combination of the discordanI
elements" in one family. Doubt
less the red-haired men and WomeT
will constitute one group, and
those with q fondness for ''gush
ing'' another group. Those whG
have cha rye Of the organization o
these groups will, however, have 1
: good time in finding out the prop
or place for every wild fanatic Wh'

hood.

Spurgeon says he never had the
ability to manage a small church.
They are like those canoes on the
Thames; you must not sit this way
or the other, or do this thing or that
thing, lest You should be upset.
His church is like big steamboat,
and he can walk here or there with
out any danger of upsetting it,
whilst steering the vessel and guild
ing his passengers conduct from
the bridge.
Edward Everett Hale says the
business of the minister is not to en-
deavor to cope with Tyndall, Hulk
ley, or other men of science, but to
lead men to the consciousness of
God, to tempt them so TO walk with
God that they shall find God nearer
and dearer TO them every day.
There is no finer illustration of what
the church is than the meeting
of family around the piano on a
Sunday evening to sing.

NO TEARS FOR SLAUGHTERED FREED
MEN.

Speaking of the Coushatta mas
sacre, the Shreveport La. Times
says: "If the world condemns the
deed, let those who fear the judg-
ment of the world tell US what the
world has done to right our wrongs;
let them tell us what humane and
gentle programme the world has
proposed which will give us relief
from the damnable despotism that
is crushing us in the dust? The
sooner the world finds out that
the white people of this State have
been driven to desperation and are
determined to protect themselves
to the last extremity, and by the
most desperate means, the better.
The ring-leaders of the war in Red
River are dead. AS for our part,
while we do not exult over their
death, we have no tears with which
to bedew their graves, and no cen
sures te bestOw upon the men
whose homes, whose lives, whose
wives and children were threaten
ed, and who struck a fierce blow
upon the aggressors. The eagles
have struck down their foe and
swept away. Now let the buzz
yards of radicalism squat upon the
carcasses, and scream, and chatter,
and flutter; their noise strikes
terror to not q single heart in
Louisiana"

PRESCRIPTION is THE WORD.
EdgefieId rs. C.lAdyertiser.

While the Radical party are
narshaling their hosts in every
nook and corner of our State, the
white people Democrats, if you
please, seem to be looking on in
utter dismay, inquiring one of an
other, "What shall we do? What
will Sbecome of our State?" Is it
possible that we have so degener-
ated that we are compelled to have
some one with us to take care of
US? Cannot the white people of
South Carolina live here without
the assistance of the negro? Tax
payers, how is it with you? If we
can, and so will it, then our politi-
cal redemption is surely within
our reach. Let the negro alone;
withdraw all patronage from him !;
prescribe him. Prescription! pro-
scrpitiOn! that's the toord! Let it
be written upon every gate-post
throughout the length and breadth
of our State that we will n OF hence
forth patronize anyone who is our
sworn public and GnaplacG6Ie enc
my. Is prescription practicable?
How shall we introduce it and put
the ball in motion? II there is
patriotism enough among the peo-
pie to make the sacrifice, we say
it is practicable, and will surely
prove available. We would state
that our State Executive Commit
tee of tax unions recommend this
policy to the people, and then let
every subordinate tax union
throughout the State take the mat
ter in hand, adopt it by resolu-
ton, and incorporate it in their
laws, SO that every member shall
pledge himself by oath that after
the termination of the present
years contract he will neither hire,
rent, lease, tenant, or patronize in
any form any one in sympathy
with the present corrupt, diaboli-
cal administration.
