who Are Thew
From the Union and American


At three o'clock Sunday morning a
young couple from Lebanon, Tenn,
reached this city They came in a buggy
and had driven all night, their horse be-
ing well jaded. The young man was
about twenty-five years Of age, while the
lady was not more than seventeen. She
was richly dressed and very handsome.
1t was the old story of deep and tervent
love, with stern parent in the back
ground. The young couple could not al
ford to wait, though the stern parent ex-
hibited indications of weakening having
| intimated that he might give his consent
TO the match, after his daughter got a
little older.
Saturday night the Lebanon young
folks got up a grand moonlight ride,
some of the party going horseback, while
others occupied buggies behind clean
| heeled trotters Among the latter were
the couple in question. They took pa
pas horse and buggy and rode out with
the merry party, but they soon separated
| from the others and found themselves
| spinning along the well-beaten pike,
| headed toward Nashville.
Then the young man encircled the
| maiden slender waist with his left arm,
keeping his right hand free for guiding
his horse. The proud head, with its
wealth of brown hair, fell over upon a
supporting shoulder, and the owner of
| that shoulder and that left arm grew elo-
| quent as he urged the maiden to improve
| the present opportunity, fly with him to
Nashville, thence to Columbia, where he
has relatives living and become his own,
| dear wife, then and there.
| The maiden hesitated. She loved Au
| gustus, to be sure, and if she could not
marry him, would marry no one-neyer,
so longed as she lived, But then, on the
| other hand there were the kind parents
and the pleasant home she had left a
| short time before-cOuld she disObey the
father and mother who had been so kind
| to her, and with whom her slightest wish
was law, with this one exception,) could
| she leave home wherein the past years
of her life had passed so pleasantly?
| The encircGng arm clasped the yield
ing form in a closer embrace, the plead
| ing tones became more tender and the
dark eyes more irresistible in their
chances. The claims of parents and
home vanish and the consent of the
brown-haired girl is won.
Upon reaching Nashville the young
man secures a fresh horse at livery
stable, and in a short time the couple are
on their way to Columbia, assigning as
their reason for not getting married here
their fear of being overtaken by the exas-
perated father of the lady.
The young man, who is, our informant
states, clerk in a bank at Lebanon,
stated that he had $500 in his pocket
| book, and thought that sum ought to car
ry him through.

HE Cotton Cran.

FROM the CINCINNATI commercial.
A prominent Walnut street commission
merchant and very intelligent gentle
man, who has recently returned from a
trip through some of the Southern States,
gives the result of his observations to a
reporter of the Commercial. The prlncl-
pal part of the time away from home was
spent in the Nirginias, Carolinas, Ala
bama and Georgia, and in the four last
named States, particular attention was
paid to the prospects of the cotton crop,
which, our informant says, is very back
ward. In those States there is consid-
cradle less acreage planted than last year.
On numerous plantations the cotton is
not yet up, but where it is above ground
the stand is pretty good. considering the
unfavorable weather. 1t is the general
impression among persons that the whole
yield for this year planting will, under
ordinary circumstances, be about three
and quarter million bales-three-quar-
tiers of million bales less than the yield
from last year planting is calculated to
be. The cotton year is reckoned from
September to September, and the exact
figures for last year S planting will not be
arrived at until the next first autumn
month. But the yield for this spring.
planting will depend much on the matur-
ing weather in fall, the seed having been
got into the ground nearly month later
than the usual time.
There is a good deal of distress among
the planters, and for their crops they will
this season use only about third of the
ordinary quantity Of fertilizers, through
inability to buy them. They are feeling
rather blue in consequence of financial
embarrassment but they are practicing
economy, forced upon them, and in the
face of adverse circumstances will make a
crop this year as cheaply as ever before.
They expect to dispose of the crop for
the present season for as much money as
was realized for that of last year, as the
latter they were forced to sell at panic
prices. The planters, as class, are
very hard up for money, and experience
much difficulty in negotiating loans on
future crOnS,

Southern NIethOdiSIs Taking
the Bull by the Horns.


The Southern MethCdists. in Confer
ence assembled at Louisville, have taken
a very bold position on the temperance
question, and one which is much more
| radical than any Northern Church has
assumed. By a very large vOte-325 to
SO, being more than the necessary two
thIrds-a minority report, that any per-
son making, buying, selling, or using as
| beverage intoxicating liquors, shall be,
| upon conviction, debarred from member
ship IN the Church, was adopted. This
action will be sent round to the local Con-
terences, and if the majority Of three
fourths concur it will become a law. The
vote was preceded by long and excited
discussion, in which all the points have
so bew1ldered our local clergy were can
yassed As there was no apparent pos
slbllty that SCriptural texts could be rec
Onclled or that the views of delegates
would admit of any compromise, they de-
clded to take the bull by the horns and
throw out the animal altogether. The
whisky manufacturer, the whisky seller,
the whisky buyer, and the whisky drink
er, were all classed under the same head
and the ban was pronounced. As a test
Of the feeling in the Conference, one of
the most prominent members declared
himself in favor of this special legislation
even fit struck 10000 members from the
roll. his action does not admit of
equivocation, and the Methodist Church
South has done itself credit in taking an
attitude which cannot be misunder-
stood. If the Church is to take any posi-
ton at all it should take a radical one.
lfall drinking is an evil, it is folly for
the Church TO compromise with it. The
teachers of virtue have no right to meet
virtue alfway. By this bold action the
Church South will no longer have to
Squabble over fermented and unferment-
ed wine. 1t will no longer have to apol-
ogize for the conduct of Noah, Joseph,
David, Solomon, and the rest of the
drinking patriarchs. 1t will not have TO
adopt triturated currant Jelly as substi-
tute for grape juice and the extracts of
rye and corn. 1t will not have to explain
that miracle at Cana of Galilee. 1t sets
the seal of its disapproval upon all such
practices. 1t pronOunceS these old and
erratiC patriarchs as unworthy of mem
bership in the Methodist Church South
Nevertheless the Conference is to be
credited with courage in throwing out al
cohol altogether Now, will the Metho-
dist Church North have the courage to
follow in the steps of their Southern
brethren, and leave the products of the
vine and the Oscillations of the cereals to
the sinners, and forever clear their skirts
of responsibility, and set an example to the
children of darkness?
