We take esneeial nride in draw

We take especial pride in drawing
attention to the business house of Messrs.
=. Il. Tate and Co., provision and pro-
duce dealers, general grocers and dry
goods merchants of this town. They
have recently received q very large sup
ply of staple groceries-sugars. teas,
coffees. spices, syrups, ..etc. They have
also received from New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, large consignments
of very elegant patterns of dress goods,
prints, bleached and brown domestics,
hosiery, cottonades, handkerchicfss etc.
Their hats and caps and boots and shoes
are unexcelled. Their queensware is
also very selected stock and is sold
cheap. The gentlemen comprising the
firm are honorable men and are reliable
We cordially commend them to the
kindly regard of our readers and the
public generally.
II Cousin John G. Burts is calm, dis
passionate, logical gentleman. Prudence
and answering determination in all
he undertakes has marked Cousin Johns
career for years. It is embalmed in the
McGhee chronicles, now confded to the
Historical Society for preservation, and
to which record we proudly refer, that
Cousin John was incubated in a brick
dwelling and nurtured in infancy upon
poundcake and preserves. In these ag-
onizing days Cousin John is not desti-
tute of that personalism that always
characterizes good clothes, a smooth
face and an incontriYertible standing in
society. Therefore it is with the more
confidence that we put upon record the
latest resolve of Cousin John, which Is

the people will be in a frame of

TESTIMONY FROM d REPUBLIOAN

H. v. Redf1eld, the Southern cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Com.
msercial, has held that position for
years, and is thoroughly familiar
with the condition OF the Southern
people. His paper supported Hayes
and the whole tenor of his cor
respondence during the campaign
was in Gov. Hayes interest. but he
has the reputation OF being a fair
minded man. and does not hesitate
tell the truth when it makes against
his party. And this is what he
writes about the so-called ''bu.l-
dozed' parishes:

Albany. The competition in the coal oil
trade is so keen that the price of that
illuminating fluid cannot be so suddenly
raised as the price of coal gas, which is in
the hands of grasping monopoly. Hence

have no attraction that will compensate for
the Paris boulevards, the German springs,
the Scottish highlands or the English lakes.
We have none of the old associations which,
as our favorite poet says, even gold cannot
buy. There are no minister towers, no
remnants of civilization that goes

of medieval genius. We have parchment,
some walking sticks, q collection Of faded
Continental uniforms and q variety Of
autographs. But we have no idea that the
sightseeing world will risk a couple of days
among the fogs of Newfoundland to study
them. Whatever value our Exhibition may
have will be an American show for Ameri-

Sermons for the Sin of the Times.

A dull and dreary Sabbath has not q
quickening influence upon the religious
emotions. Man is more prone to look at the
sad face of mortal things and bewail his
inability to better them than to fly for relief
to the Great Giver. Yet with the shadow of
great shame over the nation, with an
arrow quivering in the heart of the
nations honor, there was something
kindred in the gloominess of nature.
The physical redresses the balance
of the moral for the moment, and as a man
in sorrow is said to find temporary relief by
walking against the rain, those who yester-
day heard the warning words of the nations
moral danger could ponder on it more
deeply that the face of the heavens did not
mock him with laughing floods of sunshine.
The warning came in various tones from the
pulpits, but if Mr.. rockingham is less
Christianly orthodox, his words, which we
print elsewhere, have more force and peril
nency than many which were uttered
yesterday in the time-honored chan
cells of hoary creeds. If he coupled
the periured savings bank president
with the corrupt Cabinet officer he was only
enforcing the evil of the Time" in the play
ing fast and loose with trust, which is the
most painful illustration Of the demoralizing
influence of haste for wealth in hothouse
civilization. Mr. Moody, too, in more
strongly Christian manner, enforced the same
lesson. If the race of Daniels is extinct, who
did not fear to suffer for truths sake
the men who in our day would dare to be
poor in face of the chance to be unjustly
rich-it is time for the nation to take
stern counsel of itself DIR. Hepworth,
who also preached from the trials Of
Daniel, failed TO impress this great lesson Of

The British ISLANDS were yesterday swept
by fierce storm, which prostrated the tele-
graph lines in various places and necessarily
inflicted considerable damage in other re-
spects. This storm in Great Britain is
another evidence of the influence of our
Northern Europe, because all such storms
proceed from this side of the Atlantic. The
velocity of the wind was greatly increased
by the freedom with which it swept from the
pecan over the low lands of England and
Ireland. 1t is probable that many wrecks
will be reported from the coasts as resulting
from this visitation.

palliation of the evil, and that the
temper of the Mexican people is such
that it would inevitably lead to war. If we
are to have war, General Pillow thinks we
had better declare it boldly, and then secure
the advantages of victory. He says the
raiders are mounted on fleet horses, and that
on their side of the river, where they per-
1ectly understand the country, they would
easily elude pursuit. They are clothed in
suits OF dressed leather, which enable them

but by conquering and retaining two of the
Mexican States We might secure q boundary
line consisting in part of deep river, i'm
passable without boats, and in part of
range of mountains with only two or three
passes, which could be guarded by a few COM
panies of artillery and cavalry. The subject
is interesting, and we are willing that all
who possess real knowledge of that region
shall have hearing in our columns.

The Discussion as to whether the Centen-
nial Exhibition should be opened on Sundays
is timely. Should the decision be in the
negative it will prevent tens of thousands
from visiting it, while doing no good
to any one but the grogshop keep
ers. Thousands of working men in this
city, for instance, who might run
down with their families to the Quaker
City on Sunday and enjoy an instructive
day at the Exhibition, returning to their
homes on the same evening, will in these
hard times have to give up a holiday which
means the loss of days work. If Puritan
ism should prevail the Exhibition managers
will find themselves in the position of the
dog in the manger. with deficit into the
bargain.

talk upon this vital matter from our preach
ers, for if our shame is only to be spread to
the world and come back intensified upon
our unrepentant heads we had better let the
moral sores tester without cry until the
national soul parts with weary wings from
