peal a. afchairof Women.

loice News.
AT Atchinson, Kansas, the women
crusaders visited a liquor saloon,
and tried by praying to induce the
proprietor to close his place. He
invited the ladies to seats and asked
them to pray, and then offered him
self the following prayer:
Almighty Creator in heaven
Thou who hast made the heaven and
earth, and created man in Thine own
image as ruler of this earth! Whilst
animals are living on grass and wa
ter, Thou didst teach Thy servant
Noah to make wine, and Thou didst
not punish him for making intemper
ate use oft AT the wedding Of Cana,
Thine only Son, Jesus Christ, trans
formed water into wine when the
juice OF Che grape was exhausted
Chat the enjoyment OF the guests
might not be disturbed. The great
reiormer, Martin Luther, said He
Who does not iCN wine, woman and
song remains ioOl all his life long,
And AL the great men upon this
earth have been drinking Of the wine
Thou hast given Thy children upon
earth o, Lord +! we pray Thee have
pity upon these women here who are
not grateful fog Thy gifts, who want
TO make Thy children like the beasts
Of the field ahd compel them to
drink water ike an OK, while they
dress extravagantly and lead their
husbands by other extravagances,
not tending to our well being, to
bankruptcy, depriving them Of all
pleasures of this world, yea, driving
them TO suicide
80, Lord, have mercy upon these
ladies; look upon them; they wear
not even the color Of the face which
Thou hast given them, but they are
shining against Thee, and not con-
tent with nature, paint their faces
0, Lord, Thou canst also perceive
that their figure is not as Thou hast
ms9ait, but they wear humps upon
,boir backs like came,s. Thou seest,
o, Lord, that their head dress con-
sists of false hair, and when they
open their mouths Thou seest their
false teeth 0, Lord, these woman
want men who will patiently accept
aIi this without using the power Thou
hast given to man that all woman
shall Oa subject to man They will not
bear The burdens Of married life, and
obey ThF commands TO multiply aad
r.piaaish ,he earth, but they are too
lazy 90 raise lleir children, and o.,
Lord, Thou knowest the sin they
commit O, Lord have mercy upon
them aud take them back into Thy
bosom, take folly out Of their hearts,
give them common sense, that they
may see their own foolishness, and
giant that they may become good and
worthy citizens ofour beloved city
of Atchison. 0, Lord, We thank
Thee tor all the blessings bestowed
upon us. and ask Thee to deliver us
from all evils, especially hypoortical
woman, and Thine shall be the praise
for ever and ever. Amen"

Col. 1IcClure's Letter Rnd the
Negroes.

Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.
Col. Mcclure, whose letters on
Southern affairs TO his paper, the
Philadelphia Times, are still the top
ic OF discussion, told me a queer
thing the other night. He said an
old Philadelphia negro came to him
and thanked him for the letter in
which he said that the negroes had
better treatment and more general
admission to offices in the South than
in the North "The only places"
said the negro, ''tIat Pennsylvania
holds open to the eolored man are
the Jail, the pOOr-house and the lu-
natie asylum" Even in Mississip-
pi, the State in which the negroes
are said to be worse treated than
elsewhere, Col. Mcclure said that he
found they bad vastly better advan-
tages in the way of schools, the la
boring profession and general pur-
suits IN life than in Pennsylvania
The testimony that Col. Mcclure
bears is tardy, but frank and manly
The investigation Of few more Nc.
Clures and the printing Of their tes-
timony will secure justice to the
South, and show that a people brave
enough to make a stand up fight for
four years against odds of three to
one, and all the material advantages,
is entirely too brave to maltreat a
helpless and aGectionate race. That
there have been occasional outrages
upon negroes oy brutal whites in the
passionate days of reconstruction,
no one denies. But the South can
challenge the closest investigation
into her general treatment Of those
black people conhded to her care,
and the effects Of that treatment, as
shown in the condition of the ne
groes-and We may feel sure that
the verdict will be to her everlasting
honor as a chivalric and intelligent
I eople.
/ may note, by the way, that the
correspondent of the Lodon Times
has made up a letter on the conclu-
sions reached by Col. Mcclure,
which will be printed 10 the "Thun-
derer," and cannot fail to be of ben
eft to Southern interests.

Faith and Pluck.

AT a certain Sabbath school, not
long since, the old clerg man of the
parish, in visiting the different class.
es, came to a class Of four and five
year olds before whom the question
OF faith had Just come up, and he
thought to illustrate the subject to the
little ones by telling to them the
story of the child who was called to
Jump into the fathers arms, in the
dark.
THE father was in q dark cellar,
while his little daughter, only three
years, old, stood upon the edge Of an
open scuttle, or hatchway, in the
door. She could hear her fathers
voice very plainly, but could not see
him. Come, my child" the father
called, "jump right down l will
catch you Be not afraid. 1t is
your father who calls.
Now, the little child could see
nothing below but utter darkness !;
nevertheless, she trusted her fathers
voice, and iumped-jumped boldly
into the darkness, and was caught
into her iatherb arms.
"Now, think of it," said the aged
clergyman. "Was it not a beautiful
Illustration Of faith ?"
lie saw one little, bright-faced boy
shake his head.
"Well, johnny, what do you think
oft? Don't you think it required a
great deal of faith on the part of that
little girl to make that leap in the
dark p
"Well-I dunno; but she had lots
o pluck, saayhoiC /"
Evidently the old psstorhad gained
new idea, and one which he could
not dispute New York Ledger,

Dead the Wood.
Natchez Democrat.

For several days past the streets
of Natchez have been full Of rumors
concerning the very mysterious dis
appearance of young Frank Mallery,
who carried the mail between Har-
risonbIrg and Rosefeld, La, but
we have refrained from alluding to
the matter on account Of our inability
to get any reliable information in re-
gard to it. Now, however, we learn
that his body was found about 800
yards from the road he was travel
ing, and the remains were iatelred on
Sunday near tue spot where found.
An inquest was held, but there was
nothing to indicate foul play, there
being no mark of violence on the
body and the mail bags found under
his head being intact The supposi-
ton is that he was suddenly taken
sick, lost his way in The woods,
and finally laid down, pulling Off one
Of his shoes and placing the mil bags
under his head, ard there alone in
the woods expiring.

Fire at TOugaiOo UnIvorsIty.

On Sunday night, about s o'clock,
the attention OF numbers of people
was attracted by a bright, red glare,
in the direction Of Tougaloo, and on
the morning following it was ascer-
tanned that it was caused by the burn
ing OF one Of the buildings OF the col
ored University at Tougaloo. The
building was entirely destroyed,
together with all it contained. In it
we're the dormitories. recitation
rooms, and college library. The
building was erected some years ago,
at cost Of ten thousand dollars /;
it is thought that six or seven thou
sand dolllrs will, at this time, cover
the damages. The exercises Of the
school have not been interrupted,
but 60 on as regularly as heretofore
The fire was the result Of a faulty

"Your little birdie has been very,
very sick" she wrote to the young
man. sit was some sort Of nervous
trouble and the doctors said l should
have perfect rest and quiet, and l
must think of nothing, absolutely
nothing. And all the time, dear
George, I thought constantly of
you" The young man read it over
and then read it through again very
slowly ana put it in his pocket and
went out under the silent stars and
kept thinking and thinking But he
didn't say anything. He only kept
thinking -Rockland Courier.

The Supreme Court OF this State,
in the case Of A. J. Paxton vs.. Meyer,

tant decision to merchants who make
advances Of goods to farmers under
deeds Of trust upon growing crops.
The court decides that in such cases
merchants cannot legally charge the
farmer and mortgagor any higher
prices for goods than they charge
other andentirely solvent pu. ,asers.
This is the law now and il will b.
well for parties interested to make a
note Of it.
