THE VISITORS AT THE "IIEAD.n


Among the visitors here we are sur
priscd to note the very small number
who come for their health. The great
er number, it scc.as to lis, are healthy
people, who come to get Il little rest
from their ordinary avocatiolls. and to
have "a good timen in the society of
those here on the same business, as well
as to enjoy the natural scenery Of this
grand old mountain. We are of the
opinion that it will do anybody much
good, both physically and socially, to
spend a month or two with the good
people to be met here, while we believe
it to be the duty of those sick with chills
and fevcrS 10 come.

A MODERN stIkAcLE.

AT the, Merck camp-meeting, on
Sunday, the Rev. S. H. Plat said
that twenty-five years ago he wss
kicked. by horse on the left snes:
and the leg was practically DISABLED,
SO that for years he was f3fced to Hise
a crutch, and he couM ut bend TIE
knee. Subsequently the right Knee
was also disabled 81 an accident. He
sought the best surgical aid, but was
only partially .tslieved, ,ahd the best
he could DO was 10 kobbie short dis
lance With the aid of two canes, and
With much effort and pain. For
twenty-three years he did not stand
Up to preach, but delivered all his
sermons while seated. Sciatica SUI
pervened, and he was thus further
made wretched. Three weeks ago,
while at Ocean Grove; he was visited
by Miss Moseiian, a spinster some.
what advanced In years, who an.
bounced that she had come to pray
for him-that she had been sent by
the Lord to do 50 fer the purpose Of
healing him. He consented to the
trial. She knelt before him, and
placing her hands UPON his knees, be-
gan to pray. Her prayer was ordi
nary in language and terms, but the
result Mr.. Plat described as wonder
full indeed. He soon began to feel q
sensation, from the feet upward, as OF
coming strength, and gradually the
entire use of his limbs returned tC
him, so that he was enabled to dis
pense with the use of first one cane
and then the other, and the knee that
had not Bonded before for twenty-five
years became supple. Sunday before
last he stood up for the first time tc
preach, without support, and last
Sunday he stood before the spell
bound audience at Merrick strong on
his feet and with the perfect use Of
all his limbs, well man.
There can be nc question about the
truth of Mr.. Platts story, for it i:
otherwise sufficiently vouched for.
Miss Mosemon is described as Of
slight physique, of rather inferior vi.
tally, and a possessor of kttlc mag.
netic force and the reverend gentle.
man consequently scouts the notion
that the cure was effected by the or.
binary "laying on of hands" or ma
nipulation.

Our Georgia friends last week had
a specimen scene such as we had in
this county last year. 1t seems the
.negroes, under the leadership of Maj.
Gen. Rivers, of South Carolina,
planned to have a general uprising in
Washington, Jefferson, johnson and
Eurke counties en- the-Tcth inst. The
order to the different commands read
thus: "Kill every white man and
take every gun you can get. HIVE
all your company ready. Kill with
SEES, hoes, pitch-forks, and get guns,
powder and shot as you kill" The
evidence against them is conclusive.
About one hundred arrests were
made by the sherats, assisted by the
.Eikfa. There was great excitement
IN Macon, Augusta and neighboring
towns. From what We can gather,
the poor deluded creatures were mis-
led, as they were here, under the mis-
':aitn idea that they could secure all
the property of the whites and live in
eaScs amd comfort afterward. We hope
the ringleaders will meet with the Sc
'""te punishment they so richly de-
serve. Possibly that will be lesson
"a others.

Western Crop Reports.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.-To-mor,
row mornings issue Of the Cincinnati
Price Current will contain what it
claims as te-e fullest ana most CON-
prehensive presentation of Western
crop reports yet published, coppris-
ing about 35C special returhs from
nearly as many counties in Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan,
and Kentucky, together with some
from other States. They relate
chiefly to wheat. The reports indi-
cate in Ohio and Indiana a ftiil
average acreage, yield somewhat
short, large losses by rain and very
inferior quality. Illinois-crops be-
low an average, condition largAr
bad, quality inferior. Iowa-acre-
age about as usual, generally harvest
ed in good condition, some damage
by blight and other causes, yield
large in many places; crop not full
average, quality inferior. Missouri
considerably short and materially
damaged. kentucky-yield up to
average in amount, but largely and
badly damaged. Michigan-Fair
crop. Wisconsin-Vcry good crop
and good condition. Oats-Large
destruction ard damage in Ohio.
Kentucky. Indiana and Illinois, and
portions of Missouri, while the acreage
was increased, and Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa show large production.
Corn-Largely increased acreage,
very promising outside of portions of
the Ohio valley, and if the crop ma
lures North and Northwest, will be
very much greater than usual. Cattle
ard hogs generally are in better con-
dition than a year ago, and in many
sections stock is feeding upon the dam
aged grain. Much information is fur
nished relative to other crops. Pota>
toes promise an unusually large crop
throughout nearly all these sections.

Crops Kiited by Frost.

There was quite a heavy frost in
various localities in Illinois Sunday
night. Most of the small vines were
killed. Potatoes and corn were more
or less injured.
Killing frosts Sunday night and
nigSt before are reported from several
points of the Lake Superior road,
Destroying corn and other unripe
crops If the frost extended through
out the State the large corn crop will
be complete failure.
.Advices from thirteen counties in
Eserent parts of Wisconsin show
that. there was frost on Sunday
morning, and a heavy frost Monday
morning.. Germ suffered great dam
age, and The fsport comes from some
places that tfree1uarters Of it killed.
Tobacco, of which there is a large
acreage in Rock and jefferson coun-
ties, is totally destroyed. Hops,
buckwheat, potatoes and all vines on
The lowlands are badly injured.

And now our Mississippi friends
are having more negro troubles. A
plot was discovered on Monday of
last week, in Canton, for the negroes
to Invade the town with clubs and
massacre the citizens, while the negro
women were to burn the houses. 1t
seems that one Toles-who, according
to the Canton Mail, is one of the
blackcet hearted wretches in existence
IS the ringleader. At a peace
meeting of citizens and negroes, he
denounced and insulted the whites so
they withdrew. The whites, how
ever, armed themselves, and, with
the assistance of the officers, quelled
what at one time promised to be a
seriors outbreak. The hanging of a
few, sccundrels in that section is
needed.

Andrew JOhnsOn's Religion.
From the Cincinnati CommeTc: al


Among church denominations he
did not seem to haze a particle OF
preference, but would give to one as
quickly as to another. He had NO
prejudice against the Catholics, not
sharing the feelings of the great ma
jOrity of the people of Tennessee in
regard to this denomination. His
broad charity took in the Alormons
as well, and he was in favor of letting
them enjoy their peculiar religion to
their hearts content, arguing that
man was responsible alone to his God
for his religion or want of it. While
he gave literally to churches of all
denominations, he never joined any,
and was but an irregular attendant
of church services. His belief in the
prevailing religious system was some
what unsettled, but he was not what
we would term an unbeliever. He
believed in God, in the Savior and
and the Bible, and in a future life,
but he could never get himself into
what he was wont to call the narrow
creeds.
While President he attended what
is called the Foundry Church, and
gave literally to its support. He
helped all the Greenville churches,
and his charity embraced the coiored
people as well, for he used to give to
their schools and clutches. Willie
he was President committee of col
ored people came to Washington to
raise funds to establish what they
styled a labor school at Charleston.
He used laughingly to say that he
gave them $500, upon which they
went to Charles Sufhner, who gave
them some good advice, but not a
cent of money.

Governor Porter 4sss appointed
Judge David NJ. Key, of Hamilton
county, to fill Mr. Johnson's place in
the United States Senate. He is a
good, sound man, and will honor his
State. The Union and American

Curiously enough, Judge Key was
born in Greene county, the life>long
residence of his predecessor. His IA
Their was a Methodist minister, and his
second given name was Conferred in
honor of the venerated Bishop Me
kendree. He was reared in Monroe
county, East Tennessee, and after
ioading law, located in Chattanooga,
in 1852. Previous TO the war, he
was Democratic Congressional Elec-
tor, and in 1872 was the Democratic
nominee for Congress in his district,
but was defeated in the general rout
of that year by William Crutchfeld.
During the war he took an active
part on the Confederate side, being
Lietenant Cclcaa of Colonel GILES
pies East Tennessee regiment. In
1870 he was a fellow-mehfber with
Gov. Porter, of the Constitutional
Convention, bearing a conspieScrs
part in its public discussions and

Judge Key has, We believe, never
participated in any other parliamen-
tary assernblage. A lawyer of de-
cided ability, he was elected Chancel-
lor by tie people of his district. al

he is now invited to step INTO the Sen
ate of the United States. His age is
about fifty years.
