holding the Saviour in her arms appeared
again to the children in the forest, as they
report Over her lowered white form
resembling q dove, and voice was heard
from above, saying, "This is my beloved
Son. in whom I am well pleased" The
vision If also said to have been seen by
the children from time to time. On the
second occasion the children were told by
the Virgin that the sick should for eight
days use in prayer three times day
the prayers, "Come, Holy Spirit" and

Miraculous cures of diseases, long chronic,
were soon reported rs having resulted
from drinking or washing in the wat er Of
the spring near which the alleged mirncu-
lous appartion took place, and in spite Of
strenuous efforts on the part of the local
magistrates to repress the excitement and
to discourage belief in the story of the chill
dren the people continue to fock to Mar
pngen In great numbers; and although
the soldiers stationed there drive the pill
grims away by day, they make stealthy
visits TO the spot ut night, and carry away
vessels filed with the water.
Near Gutsberg, heavenly music and pro-
cessions of angels passing through the air
are said to have been heard. A COR
respondent of n German paper writes that
he joined company of one hundred and
fifty pilgrims who were encamped near n
stone bridge. After long waiting, some
voices cried out, Now they are coming"
and the company rose, saying they saw a
procession of pilgrims floating through the
air; and the critical correspondent, on
telling an old man that he could perceive
nothing in the direction indicated, was
promptly knocked down by the sincere
believer.
The first efforts of the Priissian author
tiles to check the pilgrimage were so futile
that in order 10 put stop to IL, severe
penalties of fine and imprisonment have
now been denounced against all persons
found III the district of Marpiugen without
official permission in writing. and against
any one joining the pilgrims thither Re-
slstance to the enforcement of this order
may be punished by even ten years inn
prisonment; and while this extreme sever
ity will undoubtedly repress the pilgrim
age. it certainly will not destroy the pop
ular faith in the reality of the alleged
miracles.

Belknap,s Sorrow.

As BELKNAP witnesses tho boundless en-
thusiasm with which BLAINE is received by
Republican audiences in Ohio and Indiana,
how bitterly he must lament the weakness
that led him to confess his crimes and re-
sign his office.
BLAINE is the far guiltier man of the
two; and If BELKSAP had only braved 1t
out and bullicd it through and then ran
away from an investigation under cover of
the hot weather, he might now have been
electrifying thousands OF Republicans all
over the country as he eulogzed HAYES as
a saint and denounced TILDEN rs a swim.

From the reports Of some OF his western
speeches we notice that JAMES &. BLAINE
Is troubled about Gov. TILDEN's income
tax. We presume he Will pursue the same
line of remark when lie commences his
stumping tour in this state. This tender
ness about money matters is commendable
in BLAINE, aud gives comfoitin assurance
that he put his gains from the gun con-
tracts, the Sioux CITY Railway Jobbery, aud
the Fort Smith bond spcculations into his
income returns for the appropriate years.
Really, though. to listen to jim BLAiNE's
homhes on honest dealing after his escape
from the House investigating committee,
must be rs moving a bit of oratory MS to
hear Bon INGgRsoLL's pious anathemas
against the Fugitive Slave law dozen
years after every negro in the land is free.

On Wednesday there was held at Phla-
delphia a conference Of the leading librarians of
the country. Many interesting questions con-
nected with photography and the management
of libraries were discussed-the best manner OF
cataloguing and the sort OF books to select for
libraries. One OF the difficulties In the way of
librarians Is the rapidlty with which pamphlets
accumulate. They are becoming so numerous
that It is almost impossible to keep them and
catalogue them properly. Yet pamphlet litera-
ture is OF great value oftentimes, and no library
that essays anything like completeness can
afford to neglect pamphlets. Morris II easy to say
which Of the contemporary pamphlets are likely
to be OF most value to fature generations.
1t was complained that even the annual reports
of libraries are accumulating so fast that they
arc becoming a burden to collect, preserve bind,
arrange, ana catalogue. An interesting subject
for discussion started at this conference was to
the preponderance OF the public taste for novels.
Some OF the speakers thought the reading OF
novels led up to the reading OF more solid
works. This is hardly a defensible position as
rule. Others regarded their reading as tending
to disspate the literary taste. However that
NAV be- the vast majority OF books taken from
our public libraries will long be novels. AS
THAcKERAY said, they are sweets, and these are
palatable to old and young alike.

YATES alludes, Of course, TO JAY GouLDs
young editor and the Lotos Club Of FRAMEWORK

about, because the Lotos Club coddled him
when he was IN this city. We believe. however,
that he is mistaken In his prophecy that the
finished swes will saunter unheedinGly by the
grave OF the man to whom they owe their pretty
ways. On the contrary. the brain-workers Will

tive to the merchants of Anderson save to
seek another outlet for transacting their
business with the outside world. The epower
to escape the penalties imposed by railroad
monopoly is within their grasp, and we
shall be greatly disappointed unless the
present movements of our Board of Trade
are not speedily consummated. We would
greatly prefer, as a matter of pride in our
commercial metropolis, that different spirit
was exercised towards the interior mer-
chants, and that the efforts of our railroad
magnates be directed to increasing the trade
of every town, which is tributary to Charles
ton. But the experience of the past teaches
that naught will convince them we are in
earnest, until the trade of Anderson is
diverted to another channel. This plan is
feasible and practicable, and President
Magrath can only blame his own policy for
the adoption of this plan in self-defcnce by
our merchants.

THE INTELLIGENCER
LOCAL MATTERS.
DEATH OF DIR. ALEXANDER Ev1Ns.

We are panied to announce the sad intel
ligence that DR.. Alexander Evins departed
this life on Sunday night last, at The resi-
dence of Col. John H. Evins, in Spartanburg.
His disease was consumption, and for many
years DR.. Eyins has been in delicate health,
suffering from bronchial affection. He
has declined rapidly for the last several
weeks, and when we visited him only one
week ago. we felt that his days were few in
the land of the living. On Sunday evening,
as we learn from the Spartanburg Spartan,
DR.. Evins was sitting up with the family,
and received his friends with his usual
cheerfulness. He retired shortly after nine
o'clock, going up stairs with great difficulty,
supported by his nephew. In less than an
hour he was corpse. Thus passed away
one who was greatly beloved and honored
in our community, and whose memory will
be cherished in numerous households.
DIR. Evins was born on the 18th day of
March, 1902, in Spartanburg County. He
studied medicine and graduated at Lexing-
ton, KY, which was then one of the first
schools in the country. There were no
railroads in those days. and the young stu
dent rode to college on horseback. He
practiced his profession for short time at
Fairview, in Spartanburg County, and then
removed to Pendleton District, where he
made hosts of friends, and for q long time
enjoyed q most lucrative practice, from
which he retired many years ago. He was
genial and popular in his manners, and soon
won the confidence and support of the peo-
. pie. He represented Old Pendleton in the
State Senate, and when the District was
divided, DR.. Evins was elected Commits
sioner in Equity for Anderson County. He
was afterwards sent again to the State Sen
ate, and until within few years was always
most active and useful in every relation of
life. He was delegate to the Knoxville
Convention in 1886, which discussed and
planned the grand scheme for railroad
connection with the great West, and his
interest in the promotion of similar schemes
was undated to the end of life.
DR.. Evins was one of the earliest settlers
of our town, and until few years ago re-
sided in our midst. He was warmly es-
teemed for his gentle, dignifed manners,
firm and decided views of men and things,
and strong espousal of whatever measures
for the public good he deemed right In
every circle of society. he was regarded with
great respect, and to his intimate friends and
acquaintance there was always frankness
and candid bearing which could not fail to
elevate him as true man and mistaken
friend. He left our place several years ago,
after the death of his nephew, DR.. Thomas
A Evins, and has since resided in Spartan
burg This hurried sketch is necessarily
imperfect as to the life and character of the
deceased, whose position and influence for
so many years entitled him to rank as an
honored landmark of Anderson, where his
memory will be revered and his virtues
tenderly cherished.
