| The New York Observer of recent date
contains II little history OF a transaction
| which deserves to tc given circulation
as widely us possible.
| A certain railroad company near or in
New York had no Sunday trains for
! years, but had resolved to yield to the
| popular demand for them, and accor-
DINGHY published a new schedule. Four
Of the directors of the road were strict
Sabbatarians and ucyOut members of
the church, and were highly disturbed
by this sacrilegious and awful innoya-
ton. What were they to do? On the
one hand tfieyWere men of deep and az
dent plety; on the other, they were
large and thriving stockholders in the
wicked and worldly railroad. There was
nothing left for them but to dispose of
the sinful stock to some hardened! but
speculative reprobate, and wash their
hands clean ofa corporation so deprayeQ
as to violate Sabbath rules so tiagrantIy
as to run trains on the day Of rest. So,
finding some reckless and funded sin
neTs, they cOnscientiously unloaded their
errlng stock 1T S12O Il share and retired
from the business. What was the re-
suit? Why, within Il week Judgment
was passed upon those purchasing sin
ners. The stock dropped in four days
to thirty, then to twenty, then to ten.
Thus did an inscrutable Providence
ayenge the blasphemous purchase. But
there Wero certain complications in the
Judgment which were narrowing to
plous contemplation of the retributon.
The wicked buyers didn't clothe them
Selves in sackcloth and much repentance
and pray for forgiveness. Not bit OF
1t. They got out their little weapons
and went Cunning for those pions direc-
tors, who wisely and precipitately fled
the scene. And thus, in.tle turmoil of
uncertainty, the beautiful moral of the
whole thing is lost to view.

A SURE Cure FOR RHEUMATIsM-Itis is
now stated that the water of boiled cele-
ry is q sure cure for rheumatism. The
celery should be cut into bits, boiled in
water until soft, aud the water drank by
the patient. Put new milk, with little
flour and nutmeg, into a saucepan with
the.bolled celery, serve it warm, with a
piece OF toast; eat it with potatoes, and
the painful element will soon yield.

There was n day when the coal oil
men OF Pennsylvania made fortunes
and when petroleum like shoddy was
the synonym for one who had made q
sudden fortune. These days, however,
are gone, and petroleum now commands
in the New York market only q cents
per gallon. The oil region of Penn
ssvlVanla is no longer gold mine; tile
price OF OIL now scarcely pays for the
digging Of the new Wells.-[N. O. DEM

The imports aud exports OF this conn-
try during tie first four months Of the
present year, as officially stated, indicate
II healthier movement in trade. The
proof OF this is that the imports have
steadily increased from SO $50 900 in
January to S42, 5000 i'll April and
although the exports show Il decline
from the heavy demand during the same
months OF 1878, it must be taken into
consideration that there were special
causes operating to bring into reuuisi-
tion to an unusual extent our brcadstutfs
and provisions. The exports were of
the value in January OF $50 400, 900. in
February OF $G6, ,S20 ,O00, in March of
S6G,554 900, and in April they fell to
$54,355, 600. This is considerably less
than they We're for the same months
last year, and for the reason we have
stated, but quite as much in excess of
the exports for the like period in 1871.
During the first four months Of 1878 the
excess of goods exports over imports
was 1924 8S2, ,000. In an article on this
subject, the Baltimore Sun regards the
change as good sign, as it shows that
q healthy reaction has set in, and that
the financial pressure is less generally
and severely felt among us than it has
been during the past live years. The
increase of imported goods at New
York in May was So, 100000 in excess of
the imports for the same month last
year, which goes to show that the re-
action is steadily progressing. But the
exports continue to be so largely in
excess OF the imports that there is no
fear that we shall become, for il long
tsnle at least, the debtor nation.-[N. O.

The export trade of this country i'll
leaf tobacco last year assumed proper
tions worthy of special note. The busl-
ness has not only expanded to an extent
that gives hopeful indications OF Il
| further increase the ensuing year, but
has also ia a measure enabled shippers,
| iobbers and growers to partially retrieve
| the losses they have had to meet for a
number Of previous years The crop
| OF seed leaf WAS exceedingly fine, and,
as is usual when such is the case, brought
prices leaving a good margin OF profit
| to all concerned in the movement. In
regard to Kentucky leaf, very much
! the same account is given, albeit the
crop has been somewhat disappointing
at times, and profits relatively lighter.
The exports of seed leaf are shown to
have been 10,036 cases, as against $3.50
cases in 1877, 81 ,426 cases in 1876, and
35,0i5 cases in 1915. OF the exports
last year, 81 ,110 cases We're to Bremen,
and Of the totals Of the other years
mentioned the shipments were of a cor
responding ratio. OF leaf tobacco in
hogsheads- (kentucky and Western)
the exports were 115,413 hogsheads, as
against 23,189 in 1877, 100,GS5 in 1916,
"a ,S31 in 1915 and 74,G2G in 1874. The
shipments have been largest to Great
Britain, and were 36,03O hogsheads, as
against 1G,IO3 in 1875; but the most
prominent increase in the quantities
sent to Germany and France, the former
having taken 81 ,1G2 hogsheads and the
latter 1862, as against 1888 and 5000
respectively in 1915. To Belgium the
shipments were 9340 hogsheads, as
against 1882 in 1915. 4 great drawback
to the trade is still felt in the unsettled
tax questions, and until these are ad-
.iusted business is likely to be held con-
siderably in check.-[N n. o. Democrat.

According to the Chicago Times, it is
reported on good authority that several
OF the largest English millers are seri-
ously discussing the property OF going
out OF the business. They cannot com
pete with American millers and make
money-at least on American grain.
The flour is supplied from this side at
so cheap rate that it does not pay to
import our wheat and grind it there.
The recent introduction of bags as pack
ages, weighing little more than one
half pound to the 100 pouds of -four,
enables people on this side to send the
four over the water at a saving of fully
with wheat, the proportion of wheat to
the. flour obtained from it being nearly
as to 3-which is SO much to the "dis-
favor" Of the British miller.-[N. O.

Execution of II Brutal: Negro.

MEMPHIS, June GA special to the
Avalanche, from Forret City, Ark, says:
Henry Taylor, colored, who committed
a rape on a seven year old negro girl,
near Wheatlcy, in this county, on the
18th of last September, and convicted
at the April term of the Circuit Court at
this place, was hung here at tWenty-one
minutes past 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The story OF the crime is as follows ::
Taylor was employed by the girls father
on the farm, and being left in charge of
the children while the family attended
church on the day named above, ac ,
cOmplished his purpose on the child
He was sentenced to be hanged on the
18th OF May, but was reprieyed by the
Governor until to-day. Every effort
was made by his former master, who
doubted his guilt, to obtain commuta-
tlon to Imprisonment for life, but with
out success.
Repeated interviews failed to elicit
a confession. He ascended the scattoId
with smiling face, delivered an address
to the colored people protesting his in
nOcence, and calling upon all to meet
him in Heaven. Tears and loud groans
greeted his words. The cap was placed
over his face, and after u song by the
negroes Sheriff Parham sprung the trig-
ger. His neck was not broken and
death ensued from strangulation in
fourteen minutes. The body was cut
down at seven minutes to 3 o'clock.
Taylor had been Baptist preacher.

cannot reduce the price of The REGIS
TER, considering the fact that every
thing else is down. As we stated once
before, publishers can reduce the price
of their paper whenever they wish-but
they cannot raise it. In view of the hard
times we might for one year reduce our
price to one dollar, or fifty cents, but if
the current wear was an exceptionally
prosperous one and next December we
wanted to 60 back to the old price one
half of our subscribers would drop off.
Through prosperous times we shall ex-
pect to stay at the same old price. And
through hard times we must do the same.
There was a paper published in New
York not long since at % cents per an
num-and the publisher made money.
The subscribers did not get their papers
for q year. or six months even. The
REGISTER is here to stay !; and when the
good times do come it will be furnished
at the same old price. 1t will never be
raised or lowered in price-without good
reasons upon the part of the proprietor.

SOLID NORTH W.. SOLID SOUTH.
Many months ago there were prevalent
ideas that the South only waited to do
justice to its citizens until the "iron heel
of the oppressive North" was removed.
The heel has been removed the troops
were Withdrawn the Southsfn leader.
Lamar, Hampton, Gordon and Niehols
were taken at their word; and it VS.
fondly believed by many that with the
advent and trial of the Hayes policy the
South would see that justice should be
done. The duty of protecting the peo-
pie of the South, white and black, was
thrown upon the Southern Democrats
and by them accepted.
To-day in all the land there does not
live single man Of ordinary intelligence
but that is compelled to admit that the
trust has been betrayed. Prominent
Republicans were killed because they
were such others while on their way TO
obey . summons to testify in the United
States Courts; Others have been warned
to leave their homes on penalty of death.
It is not claimed that these things are
being done by the whole South. But he
who denies their being done at all simp-
ly asserts what cannot be sustained.
These deeds are done by mobs, it is true,
and not by whole people. But here
comes the question, why are not such
deeds rebuked? their participants
brought to trial and and justice admin.
isteied? Why no effort made to stop
them?
The consideration of these questions;
the results of what is known|as the "con-
cillation policy; the evident determine
ton of the old aristocraticsl ideas of the
Southern States to regain their former
power in the halls of Congress and the
general government; the determination
openly avowed to rule or ruin, again
brings forward a crisis, similar in some
respects to the one that resulted in the
abolition of slavery. To these ideas the
North will present solid front. A solid
North will meet solid South. Denun-
Citations of sectional feeling have passed /;
the "solid" part of the campaign of 1880
is a settled fact.
The Greenback party is out of the
fight. The results of resumption will
be satisfactory, and the only idea left for
that party to organize around is the
question "National Banks should be
abolished and Treasury Notes substi-
tuted." That question may or may not
be side issue. 1t will give way before
the one, great, paramount question.
