Happy Social Event.

In striking contrast with the dull
season and dry weather so prevalent
was the pleasant social event at the res
idence of Col. Jas. H. Hughes near
town last Tuesday morning, which was
the occasion of the marriage of his
amiable and accomplished daughter,
Miss Lizzie M. Hughes to Mr.. Jacob
w. FRANKIE, of Charleston, S. c., DR..
w. S. Bowman officiating.
Miss Lizzie is favorite of the fam
lily and of a large circle of friends who
will regret to lose the society of one so
universally beloved. Mr.. FRANKIE is a
merchant of means in. the city of
Charleston, and is to be congratulated
upon the prize he has won and the
event so happily consummated. They
left Immediately on a bridal tour to
the northern lakes and eastern cities,
where and through life they have the
best wishes of host of friends.

OckIawaha.
BY R. p. HUDSON.

Quit the north, you native rover,
Fields perfumed with blooming clover,
Quit the city's rushing, ieering,
Mountain rocks that boast in peering,
Quit Niagra, Minnahaha,
Seek the brakes of Ocklawaha,
Seek the hummocks of q river
Where old Winters fingers never
Plucked the flowers.
Sol may rise and pour his blazes
Where old Zuma's sea amazes,
Far beneath these dark recesses
His scar heat no more Expresses,
Cruel Care no more distresses,
Thoughts are fix'd on scenes emboweIing-
Jess'mines, palms, magnolas towering,
Living, laughing, many wonder
All your former griefs will sunder
Farther, deeper, penetrating
Where bright birds are ever prating
Fly the hours.
Part the hummock, seek the river
Where the sunbeams gently culver
In the shadows deep and lasting,
There no tempest oud and blasting
Break the waters seeming slumbers,
But the moeking-bird's varied numbers
Float serene,
How unlike torrent maddened
On the rocks which cleave its breast
With scene unique tits gladeened,
With peaceful flow tits blest.
More, it tnrns the heart to heaven
Than the floods from mountain driven,
Peace and solitude reside
Where its crystal waters glide.
0 We rovers quit the valleys,
Quit the city's gloomy alleys,
Quit the torrents foaming, raging,
Deafening wars forever waging,
View the Ocklawaha moving
Where the red man late was rowing.
The palmetto craft is here
Native maidens late propelled,
Braves that never bowed to fear
.'Gainst the white man here rebelled.

discharged their duties we'll and ably.
The most practical recommendation
made was that no Sunday school papers
be carried 10 the Sunday school, but that
they be thoroughly studied at home and left
there, and the Bible alone be carried into
the schools. This is d move in the right
direction, and it is to be hoped will be
put into practice everywhere.
Too much cannot be said to the
credit of Rev. W. G. Templeton, of
Fayetteville, and the Murfreesboro
Quartette Club for the excellent music
furnished during the occasion. Rev.
M. B. Dewitt, who presided, was re-
elected President of the Association,

Middle Tennessee s. $. AssOCia-
ton.
J. w. H.

We promised our readers the benefit
of whatever the association might de-
velop that was new Or an improvement
on the work generally practiced. We
cannot say after witnessing all the pro-
ceedings that there was anything in the
way of a new departure in the general
conduct and management of Sunday
schools. Yet there was much, very
much, to admire and commend, and
the difference between what the associ-
alton exhibited and what is generally
practiced in schools is simply the differ
ence between practice and theory, the
work of the association being practical,
while much of what is known among
the schools is only theory without the
practice. We can say in all safety
that no earnest worker in Sunday
schools can attend such ameeting with
out being greatly benefited and en-
couraged to prosecute the work.
Mr.. j. D. Wilson took high ground
upon the qualifications of Sunday school
teachers, maintaining that it was a great
error to suppose that any one can be a
teacher. The best point in the whole
work, we think, was brought out, if We
mistake not, by Mr.. Wilson in refer
ence to the qualifications of teachers
1t was this; Teachers may be divided
into three classes, to-wit: Those WHIT
know it all and must talk it all; thos,
who know but little and talk less anC
those who know the lesson and hav,
" the tact Of making the students talk i
off. The third class only make eff
. cient teachers, and it is difficult to tel
which of the other two is the worse
:, The greatest afliction to a class is tn
=, the talking teacher, and the creates
bore to a school is the talking superin
teddent.

Philosophical Questions.

The large ball with which the Presi-
dent was shot, and the loud report of
the pistol, have led to some specula-
tive questions. Two of our learned
men in the law at McMinnville have
advanced the theory that the bullet
has not such great velocity near the
muzzle of the gun as it has at greater
distance on account, as they say, of the
friction of the bore. Will they tell us
what gives the ball its increased veloc-
ity after it leaves the gun?
A physician writing on the subject
takes the opposite view and maintains
that the large aperture made is due to
the increased velocity near the gun, and
would have been less at a greater dis
lance.
We doubt the philosophy of both
these theories, and for the following
reasons: 1t is a law of projectiles that
the greater the velocity the less the
aperture. Hence, gunners who wish
to do the greatest possible damage
to the hull of ship will put il
enough powder to cause the ball t.
pierce the hull only, thus making {
much larger aperture and breaking tb,
surrounding hull to greater exten
than if it were to pass rapidly through
If, therefore, the wound of the Presi
dent be proportionately large, it is du
to this fact, to-wit: that the charg
was only sufficient to larcerate tn
muscles instead of sending the ba
rapidly through, cutting a hole smOot
and clear of its exact size.

Letter from Texas.
A Great Change in Ihe Prospect.
A Dark Picture Ahead.

HAWKINS, TEXAS, June 80, 81.
Editor Standard Since writing my
last of the 9Th, there has been
marked and wonderful change in most
everything in Texas. The old truism,
"There's many slip tween finger and
lip" will more fully convey my idea
than any other "patent sentence" that
/ now think of.
When l last wrote you, everything
seemed fourishing and the farmers
were jubilant over the fine prospect
for a bountiful harvest. Alas for the
vain hopes of poor mortal man. They
did not know that drought was then
upon them and that in so short a time
they would be forced to look upon
fields all scared and brown, instead of
green and waving. The scene has
changed and the faces that were so
bright have now assumed a very
solemn expression, and as long as a
government mules. Three weeks
ago had splendid garden, green
and bid to furnish us with all the veg.
etables we should want, but to-day it is
about gone by the board-even my
Irish potatoes are almost cooked in the
ground, The hot breeze is doing the
work for everything except cotton,
which will not hurt for week or so
yet, but will need it badly in that time.
1t is all cleaned out now. Mercury
stands at from "a to SO deg. in the
shade. Talk about man working
out in this hot Texas sum- Why, I
can hardly live in the coolest place to
be had. A mule can hardly stand it!
Fruit, we have got none, not even a
blackberry. I did see few little
hard one-sided apples in the village
the other day, and they were selling
at four bits bucketful. / forgot t.
say that blackberries are selling fol
four to six bits per gallon in Dallas
Your berry brigade had better sen(
them in while they can get goo(

l don't think l would exaggerate tt
say one half of the people here ar
down sick. Several of our tie mel
are down sick at the hotel, one yer,
, sudden death among them Monda,
, night, soaring several others back t.
Canada. Tie work is at a standstill
f men can't work at it now. Flux is tn
J prevailing disease here and that in
. bad form; also a good deal of malaria
' fever and not few chills. My Chi
D dren are now up, but not we'll at all
My little girl had very serious an
e long spell.
To sum up, the prospect here
a now very gloomy for anything tha
grows except cotton, (and it may fail,
The health is bad, especially to ne
u corners, and the excessive heat at ono
precludes the idea of working in
without great danger attending.
Therefore l would say to the boys
& you had better remain at home for al
other year at least, don't come to Te1
