The Backslider.

No one does more harm than the back
slider. Is there any reason for his act:
Is he ever happy? | never knew one to
be. There is no reason why you should
not come back to God. There is bread
enough and to spare. Did you ever
think what the prodigal lost while away?
Why, he lost good food, clothing, health,
the love of the father-everything. Back
slider, you went from God; God did not
go from you. The shortest way back is
the best: the quickest is the way to take.
Before they had railroads in Chicago the
farmers brought in their crops in wagons.
Once a father sent his son into the city to
| sell the grain and he did not return. The
father went to the city and found his son
had been into a gambling house and lost
all; had even sold the horse and wagon
and gambled them away. Then, instead
of going back to his father, he thought it
best to run away. Did the father let him
go? No. He arranged his busl-
ness and followed his son over to the
Pacific coast. He preached in a church,
telling the story of his lost boy. The boy
was there and heard it. He came to his
father. His father would hear no word
of apology, he was so glad to get him
back. Dear Christians, pray for any back
sllders here tonight. Oh, wanderer,
leave the dark fountains of sin and come
back.-Frtraet from one Of Hr. Mo0dy',
Recent Sermons.
ZIoN's HERALD thinks that much of the
prevalent criticism of the churches for
unfaithfulness is unjust. 1t insists that
never before was there such a oneness of
spirit in the different branches of Christ's
church; never before so many laymen de-
voting themselves to personal services IN
the Masters vineyard, and never before
SO many persons consecrated to the Mas
ter's service. And yet, appropriately adds
the Herald, there is for great ir.-
provement and great increase of power;
and this is to be secured not simply by a
revival, but by a reformation like that in
the DAYS of Whitetield.
BLESSED forever and ever be that moth
er's child whose faith has made him the
child of God. The earth may shake, the
pillars Of the world may tremble under
us, the countenance of the heaven may be
appalled,, the sun may lose his light, the
moon her beauty, the stars their glory;
but concerning the man that trusteth in
God, what is there in the world that shall
change his heart, overthrow his faith, alter
his affection toward God, or the aztec,

A Chemical Process for Converting iron
n into Steel.

The Wilmington papers of lnte
date describe an exhibition given by
Prof. William Field, of that city, OF
"a new process of converting cast
iron into steel by chemical process.
The process is probably secret, but
the manipulation is described. Some
hundreds of pounds of ordinary cast
iron were first made, we suppose for
kpurposes of comparison, and then
the9molten iron was taken in pots
and ladies' containing from twenty to
twenty-five pounds, and "the ANAL
gram put into each. The metal
after being stoved was ready to be
cast into moulds and in less than five
minutes after the amalgam was put
in the iron was converted to steel.
A number Of articles were cast from
the metal--a bar of railroad steel,
horse shoes, q razor and plowsharo.
The tools were said to be of the best
quality. The newspapers report
that the steel may be nude malleable
by the process or as hard as is de-
sired. If a part of the carbon which
cast iron contains Gun be removed by
chemical means as described above,
the process will prove as valuable in
opposition to the Bessomer, as the
latter WAS superior in most respects
to the process of concentration.

VUr Policy"

We publish on another page Of
this issue, IN article from the Winns
boro News, headed "Our Policy" in
which it takes occasion to say, that
on the question of re-organizing the
Democratic party of this State, the
Ptchens Sentinel "declares for war. )"
Now, while we advocate thorough
organization of the party and a
straight ticket in the next and all
future elections in the State, and
have not yet seen sufficient reasons
advanced in opposition to this
course to change our opinion, we
are not 80 obstinate as to refuse to
cooperate with the party, should it
choose to pursue q different course !;
nor are we 80 ogotistic as to believe
our opinion will have much to do
with the future course of the party.
In the discussion of this question,
we notice that there is not a Demo-
cratic paper in the State but what
desires somo kind of organization I;
but some Of them oppose Dcmo-
cratic organization. We should
like to bo informed how they propose
to organize, unless it is as Demo
Gratis? Do they propose to organize
as Republicans7 If so the organiza.
ton is already completed, and they
have nothing to do only to stay in.
But this we know, they do not intend
to do, and we are anxious to know
how the other organization is to be
effected, and what it's namo is to be.
1t is already conceived, and ns it has
no gender, we do not SEQ any impro
priety in giving it name before it's
birth. So let us have the name.
But we have digressed. We started
out i'll this article to say that we are
not "for war" nor do wo advocate
any extreme measure whatever
We want Oh organization 80 that the
Democrats throughout the whole
State can meet in. convention,
through their chosen representatives
md counsel together, and if they
should deem it unwiso or impolitic
to run straight ticket, let them
decide what course we shall take and
not leave it to the dictation of somo
radical clique in the State. We be-
ieve there are enough honest Re-
publicans who would cooperate
with the Democrats to carry tho
elections, provided the Democrats
would only define their course in
some authoritative way, SO they
might be assured that there would
ba no division among thom.-Pick-
ems Sentinel.

An lmmcnsc Coffin.

A Montreal dispatch SAYS I: The
preparations for the interment Of
Guibord are being prosecuted with
vigor, The stone sarcophagus in
which Guibord's remains are to be
enclosed is being made by Mr..
Robert Reid, of this city, one of
tho most skilful workers in marble
IN Canada. The two blocks of
Montreal limestone from which the
collin is to be made were cut In tho
quarry at Cote st. Louis. Each
atone is seven feet long, four feet
vide, and about two feot thick. In
each stono q cavity is to be cut Of
sufficient width and depth to hold
the coffin in which Guibord's body
is now enclosed, Tho wooden coffin
having been placed in one of the
cavities, the two stones will be ac
c'uately fitted to each other and
fastened together with heavy iron
bolts driven through each stone and
riveted at each end. The whole
surface OF the sarcophagus will
then be covered with layor of
Portland cement, mixed with SCRAP
iron, OF a thickness sufficient to
resist tho most powerful drills.
Ihe stone coffin will weigh nearly
nlno tons. Mr.. Reid expects to
have it completed on Saturday next.
The intorment will be made within
two or three days after tho com
pletion of the coffin. ..a''
Guibord, it will be remembered,
was denied burial in the Roman
Catholic cemetery, and the aid of
the British Courts was invoked.
They ordered burial to be granted,
and then the priest cursed the
ground in which he was to be
burr cd. These precautions ore to
prevent the body being stolen.

TO Be Handled With Cure.

few days ago, the engineer heard
o singular cracking sound, and
thinking there might be something
wrong with his locomotive, stopped
the train and examined him engine,
which was found in good trim
An examination of the train was next
made, and in the centre was found q
car containg some kind of fluid,
which was leaking through upon
the track in drops. The car WAS
opened, and inside we're discovered q
number of large tanks labeled
glycerine. The car was sidc-trackcd

SHOCKING ODEAL FOR A YOUNG FAC
TORY GIRL,--At Remington Station,
on tho Cincinnati and Marietta Rail
road, Carrie Dawson, employed in a
paper mill, while standing near q
revolving shaft, was caught by her
hair and the scalp torn from her
head, stripping the skin from the
back of her neck to tho eyebrows.
A considerable time elapsed before
medical aid reachod her, and it was
not deemed advisable to attempt to
restore the lifcless scalp to its for
NOR place. Dr.. a. j. Howe, of this
city, commenced tho restoration of
skin to the wounded girls hoad. by
taking a small piece Of scalp from
the head of her sister, who gave hor-
self freely for her injured sisters re-
lief, while another lady offered skin
from her own shoulder to supply
what was needed for tho forehead.
Supplies sufficient to start growth
of new membrane were taken from
each of the ladies, and while Miss
Dawson's condition is dangerous, her
physician entertains considerable
hope of her recovery and tho success
Of his efforts to cover her head with
new skin.

The SOuta the Garden Of the World.

The London Chemist and Drug.
gist, in a very appreciative notice OF
. DIR. Porcher's "Resources of the
Southern Fields and Forests" takes
occasion to say the following true
words about the Southern States
eff the Southern United States
arc not the garden of all the world,
/! it is rather the fault of those who
are responsible for their cultivation
and development than from any
natural inforiority to any other land
on the face of the earth. It occurs
! to every mind that this is the home
of the chief products which civiiza-
ton demands. Cotton, sugar, and
tobacco are products of such i'm
mensity as to dwarf those which
other lands bring forth, and yet
these are not all. Vast quantities
of wheat and rice are exported and
luxuriant but uncultivated vcgeta-
tionsSesides testifes to the immense
resources which are forthcoming.
These Southern States comprehend
on area of territory equalling that
of Great Britain, France and Ger
many. Watered by the grandest
rivers and rich in every variety of
soil, with millions of acres of dismal
swamp yet unreclaimed, there is a
future for this district which will
make ita territory to which all the
world will turn for its vegetable
supplies.

Ii Was a Bee.

ANY ono passing along Howard
street just before noon, yesterday
would have seen him lying under one
of the shade trees in his yard, q pill
low under his head, his feet on O
bench, and q magazine in his hands.
Ho looked the picture of comfort
and contentment, and tho women
who were. going along with pull-back
dresses on sighed and wished they
were men.
The great City hall bell struck the
hour of noon. The deep toned
echoes foated out on the still sum
mer air and touched tender chord
in the Howard street mans heart.
The echoes sounded to him like fu-
neral whispers-like the whispers of
tho night wind signing through the
grand old wilderness.
ooh solemn bell he said. oh
snd solemn
That was all he said about the
bell. A humble bee settled down on
him to look for sugar, and as he
turned partly over he gave the bee
rub. 1t is bad thing to rub any
kind of bee. He feels insulted and
gets annoyed when mud turtle or
q dove would pass by without q
thought. Tie echoes had just died
away when the Howard street man
got up. He got up like man in
hurry. He went away from there.
He didn't meander-he went like q
rocket. Something seemed to nil
him. Ho made q line for the house,
went up the steps at bound, and as
his wife asked him the cause of his
haste, he replied
"Thunder-oop hoop!"
is the house on fire 2 she asked,
as he tore around the parlor and
upset things.
House be-oop? Lordyr he M
swered, us he made circle of tho
room and dashed into the hall.
The dog rushed after him, the
wife after the dog, and the man
bounded out of the house.
Are you crazy, Robert?' shrieked
his wife as she behcld him pounding
his legs with his new silk hat.
Two or three boys ran in from the
street, strange dog came in and
got up fight, and all things con-
spired to make O. lively time.
"Hes got the colo I yelled one of
the boys. g."
"Or the tremens! shouted an
other.
See that hat / called a third.
Boys, go out of here I whispered
the painting man, as he stopped us
ing his hat. They went out, and he
stopped using his hat. They went
out as he limped into the house, his
fearful wife wife asked:
Now, then, will you tell me what
has happened ?"
No, l won't! he shouted, and he
didn't. She fell into Mysteries ut the
thought that he had used his brain
too much, and had suddenly become
crazed, and he went down to the
drug store and applied arnica to the
spot, and informed the clerk that
eleven thousand of the biggest kind
of humble bees had settled right
down on him in body.-Detroit

One of the fascinating features of
the recent man1uyers of the Ger
man army in Silesia was the appear
ance on tho field of the Grown
Princess of Prussia, daughter of
Victoria and the future Empress of
Germany. First ksho appeared at
the head Of of tho regiment of which
she is chief then on tho nrm of tho
RAISES, winning Silesiun hearts by
her dash on tho field of parade md
her amiability and grace. The Ger
mans arc very proud of their future
Queen and Empress. The Emperor,
too, appeared delighted with his
daughter-in-law when he saw her
leading at u hot pace her regiment of
hussars past him md his guests.
Regiment aftor regiment filed by the
Kaiscr, overy man behaving at his
bost. The Grown Princess, as
Chief Of tho Second Huzzars, lod
hor regiment past the tribune, sit
ting on her horse easily and grace
fully greeting tho Kaiser by touching
her cap with the silver handle of her
riding whip, and then, swinging
round, dashed mp to tho suite, guild
ing her horse up to tho Kaiser's
side. Enthusiastic hurrahs greeted
her, handkcrchiefs tluttered, and
tho Kaiser took her hand and thank
cd her in very affectionate manner.
The Princess camo up slightly flush
cd from the ride, but as tho German
ladies declared she looked charming.
In tho evening sho appeared on the
arm of the Emperor in tho Irrgarten,
whore II grand festival took place in
honor of the Imperial visit, and she
came in for large share of tho
popular enthusiasm. No foreign
Princess has ovor made horself moro
beloved by tho Prussians than tho
Grown Princess. During tho war
shc visited hospitals, and was cvcr
foremost in promoting charities, tho
aim of which was to give assistance
to tho sick and wounded. In works
of wcll-doing in Berlin, her namo is

ton of remedy is one that deserves

dominate in such numbers that mar

A POWERFUL KIND OF RELraloN.-
At Eufaula, Alabama, last week, q
mulatto about twonty-thrce yoars
of age, died from II rather unusual
cause. Some time ago he attended
church, and, rs usual, so,no of tho
females became excited, md were
s,Tging md plunging about, and he
undertook to hold ono of tho moro
violently affected, but in 80 doing
she threw back one of hor arms
with great force, striking him q
most furious blow across his chest
and nearly killing him outright at
tho timc. IIe recovered slightly
however, but continued to. com
plain and frequently had hcmor-
rhages from the chest, or blood
splitting, and died o. few days after
