The Ninety and Nine.

At one of the meetings in London, Mr..
SankeY rave the following history of
the hymn which he has sung with such
marked effect at various places. When
preparing with Mr.. Moody TO make their
visit to the Highlands of Scotland, he
was seeking for II new song that would
be likely to reach "those Highland
people" and by accident came across
the composition in the columns OF a
weekly newspaper. He at once adopt
ed it. Afterwards he sang it in the As
scmbly Hall, at Edinburg, and Il fort
night later received Il letter from 4 lady
expressing thankfulne>s hat this pro-
tluction of her deceased sister was made
useful. 1t was this:
There were ninety and nine that safely
lay
In the shelter OF the fold
But one WAS out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates of gold.
Away on the mountains wild and bare.
Away from the tender Shepherds care.
Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and
nine;
Are they not enough for Thee"
But the Shepherd made answer: This
of Mine
Has wandered away from Me;
And although the road be rough and
steep
| 90 to the desert to find My sheep
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that the
Lord passed through
Ere he found His sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry
Sick, and helpless, and ready to die.
Lord, whence are those blood-drOps
all the way.
That mark out the mountains track
They were shed tor one who had gone
Ere the Shepard could bring him
back"
Lord, whence are Thy hands SO rent
and torn?"
''They are pierced tonight by many a
thorn
And all thro' the mountains, thunder
riven,
And up from the rocky steep.
There rose Il cry to the gate OF heaven,
.'RejOice. have found My sheep
And the angels echoed around the throne
'.Reioice, for the Lord brings back His
own

The Georgia Cyclone.
Prom the New York Observer. q.

Prom the New York Observer.
\ correspondent i'll Georgia sends Us
the following account of the terrible hur-
ricanc that recently passed over por-
ton of that State :
4 most terrific and destructive cyclone
passed over our State last Saturday.
March 10th, sweeping over nine coun-
ties, viz: Talbot. Epson, Monroe. Jones
Baldwin. Hancock, Glascock, McDutfie
and Columbia, and scattering death and
destruction all along its track. The little
town OF Camak, on the Georgia railroad,
was completely demolished. \ Baptist
church in Warren county was upturned
while the services were proceeding, and
three persons instantly killed, and twen-
ty and more wounded. Mr.. Massey, in
Hancock county. had all his houses, SIX
teen in number, completely demolished,
not leaving one piece of timber upon an
other. His wife and child were killed.
The skirts of his coat were blown Oft, so
also his shoes and socks were torn from
his feet, and have not yet been found.
His money, even his silver, and every
thing he had, was blown away.
Colonel Walker, in Richmond county,
had sixteen houses destroyed. In Bald
win county, the liteleSs body of 4 negro
woman was found in the branches of
tall tree. Another was borne $50 yards
through the woods and terribly mangled.
4 little child was blown away at the
same time, and has not been found at
all. Mr.. Cannon, of Harris county, lost
five children. and had his wife and two
others badly hurt. Hewn logs were
carried q mile and half. Small rocks
were driven with such force as to be I'M
bedded in trees. Wheat fields were laid
completely bare. In Columbia county,
Charlie Avery, little boy. had his
clothes stripped from his body, and coars
sand driven into his naked form. A
shinole was driven with such force as to
be forced through telegraph pole. Mr.:
Clements, on seeing the storm, gathered
his family together, and engaged in
prayer. The house was completely de-
stroyed, but the family escaped unhurt';
a remarkable instance of the power OF
prayer.
The number reported killed thus far
is lO5. and more than that number
wounded. This has been, perhaps, the
most terrific tornado ever known IN this
mart Of the country. Its width was from
two to six hundred yards; its onward
speed about seventy miles an hour. 1t
was entirely wind. The rain did not
fall for several hours afterward. Those
who saw it report that the front cloud
was as black as pitch, and the rear illu-
mined with lurid, phosphOrescent, un-
natural light, and that the tiercest can
nonading could not equal its ineessant
rear. y. D.

King Kalakaua at Home.

After the return Of King kalakaua to
Hawaii his people assembled at one OF
the churches at noon, on February 10th,
to give him public welcome. He made
them speech, recounting briefly the
course of the Journey and the warm re-
ception he had received. In conclusion
he said:
"As observed the vast wealth and
prosperity of the United States l was
impressed with the reflection that it was
a result of the Industrious habits of the
people. They are never idle, day or
night. The wealth and greatness OF
nations is created by the cultivatOrs of
the soil, and by the men who toll with
their hands; and thus has it ever been
since the forms OF government were
first instituted on earth. TO these con-
sideratiOns let us of Hawaii now earn
estlv direct our attention, to the end
that by our industries we may be ena-
bled to attract foreign commerce to our
ports, ard freight it with the products
of our country Let us, therefore, wise
" take care of ourselves; and the best
way to do this is to endeavor to make
such material and social progress that
the powerful government whose friend
ship we now fortunately possess shall
be convinced that we deserve their aid
and support. Let Us, in short, prove to
the world that Hawaii is worthy of her
position among the independent nations
of the world"

JUDGE PARKER.

The charge was made against Judge
Parker, our late Representative in Con-
grcss, by the Chicago Tribune, tina. he
had aided in smuggling through Con-
gress an appropriation of $'3Op 900, os-
tensibly for the support of captured IN
dians, but really to enrich himself and
others of ..thc ring" In order that
Judge Parker might be heard in self
defense, and the true facts Of the case
elected, n correspondent Of the Republic
can interviewed him in relation thereto,
an! also in regard to his appointment
to the Arkansas Judgeship. We annex
the conversation in regard to his action
in Congress. and consider his vindica-
ton complete. As Judge Parker is now
making his arrangements to leave for
Arkansas the present month, we con-
slider it rAeet and fitting to lay his de-
fence before our readers, So that, if they
see the charges alluded to published in
Democratic papers they may know what
estimate to put upon them:
Q. Have you seen the article in the
Chicago Tribune of some weeks since,
in which you are charged with snug
Cling through the house of representa-
tiveS an appropriation OF 100000 to
feed captive Indians? A. Yes. sir; my
attention was called to the article a few
days since, and very much dislike to
say anything in regard to it that may 60
into print, and would not do so now, if
the article was to be read only by those
who know me. The article is not true.
q. Then have you any objections to
stating the facts in regard to the appro-
priation, of which the Tribune article
speaks?9 A. None whatever; on the
contrary, | think simple justice to the
president, to congress and to myself de,
mand that the facts should be stated.
