A Negroes Skin FOund in the Edge Of
tie River-The COIOred Folks HOrFi-
Ged-"Dem Medical students" Under
Suspicion.
For three days past an object apparently
the carcass Of a hog, has been seen in the
river a few feet from the bank, on the wharf
al the mouth Of Broad street. Nobody paid
particular attention to it, suppOSing it to
be the dead body Of an animal which had
1Oated down the stream. Yesterday morn
ing a little negro boy, employed as deck
sweeper on the steamer Bolivar II. Cooke,
pulled the object to the bank, when to the
establishment of all, it was discovered to be
the entrails and skin Of 4 negro. 1t ap-
peared as though the skin had been care
fully removed from the body. The
hair, nose, and lips appeared in their naLu-
raj state, while the skin seemed to have
been rolled up in a heap, and presented a
rather shapeless appearance. It was a
sickening sight to behold the entrails
scattered along the shore and the skin,
lying near the waters edge. The general
suUpOsitiOn is that the remains are a part
of body which had been dissected.
The news Of its discovery soon spread
over the city and created intense excite
menE among the COlOred population. Large
numbers Of heroes at once began TO repair
to the spot, and during the en-
tire day the wharf was literally
thronged with them. 1t was estimated
that fully 1000 cOlored people visited the
scene. Some Of the more ignorant and
superstitious gave It as their opinion that
one Of their race had been kidnapped and
dissected by the students Of the medical
college. All spoke of the matter with a
shudder Of horror. The majority seemed
to be in mortal fear f the medical stu
dents, and one old Oakley, with Madras
handkerchief around her head, was heard
to remark that she was lawful skeered de
udder night when her boy was gone from
home so long, fur she was sartin dem
medical students had done cOtCh him."

what Came of a Great Revival.

In the absence of the pastor, DR.. j. Is.
Lindsey occupied the pulpit Of the First
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Sunday
night. His discourse was upon "Rem-
inIscences Of the early history Of the Cum
ber,anc Presbyterian Church. He handled
the sghie { I'm his usual effective and en-
ierauinE style. In commencing he said
his method OF treating the subject had been
suggested by the twelfth chapter Of First
Corinthians, especially the fourth yeIse,and
bv DR.. McFeuiu's History of MethOdism
In Tennessee which he commended in
the strongest terms as an interest
ing and valuable work. The
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which
originated from the great revival Of 1900,
nominally dated from Feb. (, $50, when
Ewing, King and Meadow met in a log
cabin in Dickson county, and organized
Cumberland Presbytery, with three minis
tiers. This had expanded into a church
with about fifteen hundred ministers, who
wait upon half million of people. Won
derful progress in siXty-tiye years, The
GREAT revival of 1900 made a deep mark
Hpon the Mississippi Valley for good.
Presbyteriaus, Methodists and Baptists,
each in a special way, contributed
TO the establishment Of a permanent
Christian civilization IN this great seat
of empire. by the jealous and almost gra-
tuitous labors Of their itinerant teaching,
and farming preachers. In closing he
dwelt upon the fact that this church is
providentiaI American OutgrOwth; that it
ills a felt want of the times; hence its
success, hence older and p0pulOus denOmi-
nations had come to the same theological
pIatfornl. He concluded with a glowing
iribrte 10 the zeal, patience and catholic
snfrit of the founders Of the Cumberland
PRESBYTERIAN Church. His remarks Occu-
Med nearly an hour, and were listened b.
with marked attention by his auditors.

Despise Not the Day Of Small Things
In looking at the scheme Of the last Public
Library DraEiug, people seem to neglect
a very important paIt Of it. They are so
dazzled with the magnificent gifts there
offered that they neglect or overlook the
minor ones. Yet many Of them are for
tunes for most men. From one to twenty
thousand dollars looks small when COM
pared with the four great gifts, yet either
sum might satisfy a man Of ordinary greed;
and of these comparatively small gifts there
are 255 to be had, and then there are
1850 gifts yet smaller, but more insig-
nifcant. The 9th Of the month will graf
