Camping Out.

The editor of the Buffalo News
has been camping out, and tells his
experience to his readers. Ho tnnh
with him one wife, three fshing-ro
two babies and a shot gun, with the
necessary clothing, kettles, pans and
the rest of the paraphernalia. His
tent was pitched next to that of
newly married couple on one side,
and that of two elderly maiden sisters
on the other side. "Elysium was q
fool to that camp" says the editor,
and we can well believe it. "There
were shade trees, brooks, moons an
poisoning in abundance, and when
we all retired for the night, there was
not heart unmoved by the solemn
stiffness of the scene" But the edi-
tors tent was too near that Of the
newly married couple. The young
man was reading Tennyson out loud
to his bride by the light of kerosaae
lamp, three kisses to each line. The
old maids on the other side kept
whispering: Amanda, suppose
man was to come to our tent !" There
was a wild shrek, and everybody
rushed out in his night clothes, think
ing that one Of the ancient virgins
had been bitten by rattlesnake. Of
course she hadn't. A COW began
believing for her lost calf, AMI every
one swore it was bear. The men
got out with their guns and killed one
of the wagon horses. The tent fell
down about 3 o'clock in the morning,
and n heavy shower of rain about
daybreak soaked every one to the
skin. The editors family all have
the bronchitis, and he announces
that his tent and complete apparatus
for camping out are for SALE

Orengeburg missionary Union.
Charleston Association.

Ifany one supposes that the above
body is dead, the lively meeting at
Corinth Baptist Church on Friday
August 29th will convince him to the
contrary.
At an early hour on Friday morn
ing the Delegates and friends had
assembled. Elder j. Huffman who
had been previously appointed to
preach the Int ioductary Sermon was
not present, and by request, Elder j.
l.. Rolings took his place and preach
ed one Of his soul-stirriiig sermons
from Philippians, 1st Chap. and
NM. YER, which was felt through
out the entire meeting.
After the Introductory Sermon,
the roll was called, and it was found
that eight churches were represented
by delegations. The Union was
then fully organized by the election
Of Elder ID. w. Cuttino Mod orator,
and Nj. y. Jenkins Clerk.
After the organization the usua
routine Of business was transacted,
Elder w. j. Snider, Chairman of the
Executive Committee, presented
report Of their lahors during the last
three months. ! will give you short
synopsis which may prove interesting
to your renders:
Bro. +. p. } obertson, student
from the Seminary at Louisville
Kentucky, was employed during his
vacation There were few accessions
to the churches by baptism. The
work was mainly towards revival
OF pure religion among the churches.
1t was the opinion of the Union that
the members needed stirring up to tn
Importance Of the Missionary work.
Bro. Robertson gave entire satisfac-
ton, and the Union feel that he was
the right man in the right place.

services. At II o'clock, Elder f. II.
Cnttino preached most excellent
sermon from lst Kings, XIX Chap,
IN. yer. After which El der d. w.
Cuttino read an able essay on the
duties of Dcacons. The subject for
discussion was then read, and was
opened by Elder d. w. Cuttino,
followed by Bro. j. Barrett. On

THE CONVENTION.

We observe that some Of our Louisiana ex-
changes are becoming impatient ct supposed
delay on the part Of the Convention, and some
III them assert that nothing has been accom-
pIlshed.
The proceedings Of the Convention have
been marked by great dignity and decorum,
and eommendab1e feature has been the
regularity OF the attendance OF members. and
their devotion to committee work. We are
quite sure that the progress made and the
measures hui great Importance which have
been passed upon will. when explained, fully
satisfy the people that Che Convention has
earnestly engaged Id the work Of carrying
out the pledges Of reform.
The expenses of the legislative department
have been reduced to the sum Of forty-ive
thousand dollars for q sixty-day biennial ses-
sion. The appropriation for the last session
OF thirty days was fifty-five thousand dollars.
and when we recollect that session of the
Legislature has heretofore cost the State as
high as seven hundred Thousand dollars, the
showing In this respect must be taken as sat
isfactory.
In the executive departments the salaries
i Tor State officers and their clerical force now
amounts to seventy Thousand three hundred
dollars per year.
AThe ordinances already adopted reduces
these amounts to ninety-one thousand one
hundred and forty dollars per year, showing
q saving OF forty-nine thousand one hundred
and sixty dollars.
Of course II cannot be determined, as yet,
the exact reductions to be expected In the jul
dietary department, but enough Is known Of
the views of the Judiciary Committee and
the Convention, to justify the belief that the
expenses Of this branch Of the government
will be reduced from two hundred and sixty
thousand five hundred dollars to about one
hundred and forty thousand three hun
bred dollars, by which saving Of one hun
dred and sixteen Thousand two hundred dol
lars per year may be expected.
Like reductions may be looked for In every
branch OF the government, and 1t ls quite ap-
parent that the Convention will be able tc
provide for all the necessary expenses Of
government, and adjust the interest upon the
public debt satisfactory upon rate OF taxa.
tion not exceeding six mills.
