TIE ComBAHEE STRIKE WATERFORD, S.
e., September 3.-Yesterday one OF the most
prominent negro strikers from CohDahee,
attending Republican meeting at TINS
place, told man whom he thought friendly
to their cause that so far from the strlke
being ended they were preparing for o gen.
eral one throughout the entire rice region
in this State and Georgia. Being asked
where the strikers would get arms ana am
munition to resist arrest, he said that Colo
mel Tom Richardson would get up his arms
from the depot in Charleston in few days,
with fixed ammunition, and that all the
militia belonged to the strikers; that
last week Leach Smith, Radical
storekeeper at Whitehall, had received
from Beaufort two boxes Of rifles, forty
kegs of powder, shot and caps that gen.
eraIv had sent for the strikers, and that
more would come in few days from Beau
fort: that they intended cutting down the
rice and get paid for it, and then to refuse
to take it up, or allow 1t to be taken up; to
RESIST any attempt to arrest, and in the row
that would follow to harvest the crop Tor
themselves. Being further asked how they
could dispose OF so much rice, he said that
had already been provided for by boats
coming from their friends, but they had
been Instructed to burn it before the
planters should have it. Another cum
ming plan had been talked about. When
officers OF the law came to arrest them tney
were to submit, have their leaders bailed by
well-instructed trial justices, and pretend
to disperse, and meet again the next day at
another point. The utmost particularly OF
statement Of detail, minutiR, and moduS
operandi was given in confidence, and we
think it prudent to keep them now from the
public till verified. The names OF the lead
ers. said to be at Beaufort, were not known,
but Leach Smith, Shuman the cN-trlal JUS
tice, and white man whose name he had
forgotten, were all that were given. 1t Is
impossible to say how much OF truth there
is in this statement. My informant Is reli,

What Our Churches Cost U.s."

The publishers Of .Sc7fbper's .Hontltly an.
nounce an article in .Sc,Tbner under the
above title, which viii be of interest in re-
latiou to the recent discussion as to church.
debts The theory upon which large
churches are built is that the expense for
each sitting in large church. even with
considerable debt, is less per capital than
in small church without any debt at ALL
For instance, the expenses of a church ire
this city seating 800 people viii be about
$4,000 year, or thirty dollars per sit
ting The cost of running church that
will seat 1000 persons, with funded debt
of 100000, will be about S22, 900, or only
ten or twelve dollars sitting, or about
twenty-five cents for each person for each
Sabbath in the year.
We are led to this discussion by notice
that the Presbyterian Memorial Church of
New York, Rev. DIR. Robinson, has just
paid of 100000 Of its debt, and proposes
to carry permanently the remaining $780,
coo, charging up the interest 81 ,000 Il year)'
to running expenses. AS the building is
designed to seat nearly two thousand peo-
pie, if filed to It's utmost capacity, the
charge for interest to each person would be,
less than 81 year, or about seven cents "a
Sunday. 1t is worthy of note that all the
pew-owners in this church have surrender
ed their title to their pews, SO that there is
now no privileged class, and that the latest
conner eujoys all the privileges and imneuni-
ties Of those who have borne the heaviest
burdens The pastor himself has contrib
uted over 1900 to the church building
from the proceeds of his hymn and tune
books, which had so wide Il popularity in
churches of every name

CLIMATE AND CLOTHES.

Owing to the sudden changes of our climate.
says the Ne,o Century for Women, It is of
the greatest Importance for Americans to pro-
tect the entirsure face of their body and limbs
for nine months out of the year How we
dress during the remaining three is Of less
Importance than how we work and eat
but unless the skin is well and closely cover
cd during the fall, winter and spring, we
cannot be free from the influence of sud-
den changes This can be done by thick
or light underclothing, in silk, flannel, or
woven wear but in some form it is neces-
sary. This important precuation ought.
particularly to be remembered in dressing
little children. Their clothes ought to meet.
in such way as to leave no chance of bare
skin, for sacques and overshoes are mock
cries if the knees are uncovered As for
short stockings, they are simply traps for
disease. They may be safe in July, but,
the chilly nights of autumn ought to warn
all mothers to put them away. After the
skin is covered the clothing may be light
or heavy, as the weather. needs but as Il
simple matter of comfort complete suit of
warm underwear and long stockings do more
for women and children in way Of protec-
ton from coughs and colds than all the
furs, fannels and wraps they can possibly
put on.

The Wealth of Brazil.

All intelligent travellers who have visited
Brazil speak in the most glowing terms of
the country. Professor Agassiz regarded
1t as the most productive ard interesting
country on the globe, and the one in which
it is the easiest to obtain livelihood Some
who have sailed up the Amazon declare
that vessel can be loaded with Brazil nuts
at an expense Of only a few cents per bushel.
These constitute a valuable article of COM
merce, while the oil extracted from them
is very desirable. All the tropical fruits
are produced in Brazil almost without cul-
tivation. Fhe sod in many parts of the,
country viii produce twenty Successive
crops of cotton, tobacco or sugar cane With
out the application of manure. No coun-
try in the world approaches the land of
Dom Pedro in the variety Of its forest pro-
ductlons. Professor AgasSiz states that he
saw one hundred and seventeen different
kinds of valuable woods that were cut from
piece of land not half mile square They
represented almost every variety of color,
and many Of them were capable of receiv-
ing high polish One tree furnishes wax
that is used for candles another pith

intoxicating liquor. There is single variety
of palm from which the natives obtain food,
drink, clothing, bedding, eordage, fishing
tackle, medicine, and the material they
manufacture into dwellings,, weapons, har-
poons ard musical Instruments. Doubtless
the day is not far distant when the valuable
woods of Brazil will be used for various
useful and ornamental purposes.

How to Rid a Barn Of Rats.

Job Hayes, of East Marlborough, Ches-

following novel method of clearing his barn
of rats : He filled his cart with corn fod-
der and placed basket of corn on top with
a light covering of fodder ON top of this
Hauling the cart in the barn, he placed
boards so that the rats could run up into
the cart, The next morning he hauled the
cart out into the field and dumped Its load
when rats issued from the fodder in great
numbers and fifty or more killed

SHE was a little woman with a sQuealky

to several employees in Lynn market,
without receiving any pecuniary assist
ance, she approached a tall man who
stood with both hands run into his pocb-

him the pencil. "Well, now, supposing

out to find the man with the $l50,000
He was heard to say, I'D like to help

think that was doing it to show off, or
to get my name in papers, and I'm no
