Assassination.

Assassination is one Of the blacklist and
vilost in tho annals of crime and is from its
prominent frequency alarming to all good
citizens of every country. The death Of
Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke. 10 Ireland,
fills the public hoart Of the world with dis.
gust and dismay. Just Mt tho timo when
the English Government, having failed
apparently in it's efforts ut coercion, was
ondoavoring by the appointment of these
estimablo gentlemen as rulers of Ireland to
ameliorate the condition Of tho Irish peo"
most public manner. So far all efforts Of
the Government and people to discover and
arrest tho perpetrators Of the horrible crime
have been futile.
Speculation is INDUCED in to probe the
public mind for an excuse for the commission
Of this detesablo crime. The English people
mourn the sad ovont. The Irish, brave and un
hidden, denounce the bloody act. The mo-
tive to the crime seems to be unfathomablo
1t may bo tho means, however, to heal
some of the scars and troubles Of the pas
between tho English and Irish. However
that may be, The world has but one word for
the perpetrators Of this vilo act--the strongest
condemnation.
Lincoln and Garfield arc tho martyrs il
this country Of the orime of assassination. II
Europe, princes have likewise suffered, at the
hands OF plottors, conspirators and assassins
But in the death Of Lord Cavendish and Mr.
Burke no human motive can be traced. The
course of the English Government In regard
3tosthe present condition of Ireland, and the
future ofthis unfortunate people, is not well
known; butinsa all probability strong effort
will bs made to repross crin,c in ireland

"After to-day the through train from Co.

with two passenger coaches will meet it and
bring tho passengers for this point on the
same schedule rs at present. This. Of couree

neither effect the health. prosperity nor

The through train from Charleston, under
Capt Isaacs, one of tho oldest and most
efficient conductors on the Columbia and
Grecnvillo Road, came in Monday last.
These through trains to Walhala are quito
an advantage to the place and will bccumc

The Southern Baptist Convention met in
Greenville last week The attendance ordele,.
gates was large. although there was some
complaint that ono or more Of tho railroads
had not been liberal in the way Of reduced
fares Us they might havo been. The Con
vention ia representative body and keeps
watch and ward over the interests Of the
church in tho Southern States.
Tue report shows that the Theological
Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky, was in q
fairly prosperous condition under tho Prcsi,
denoy of DR.. Boyce.
One of the exciting questions before the
Convention was the removal of tho Home
Mission Board from Marion. Ala, to Atlanta,
Ga. The Convention was we'll nigh unau-
nous in tho vote for rcmoval-228 to l3. 1t
was insisted in the discussion on this subject
that Atlanta was full Of pluck, energy and
perseverance, and that these desirable
qualities would be infused into tho members
of tho Board, if it was moved to Atlanta, and
this argument had its weight.
The Convention seems disposed to break
with the American Bible Society in regard to
Bibles for foreign missionary work. Tho
Church will rs soon as it can print Bibles for
foreign missionary work. James translation
is satisfactory for all purposes at home, but edi
tions, unequiyocal in relation to immersion,
were thought to be necessary for foreign mis-
sionary work. In all other respects there is
harmony and cordinlty between Baptists
and tho American Bible Society.
Many other important md interesting mat
ters Of less moment engaged the attention of
this able and venerable body
Many Of tho ablest members Of the denom-
ination in the South were present among
them notably were Gov. Brown and DR.. Nell
Of Georgia; Dr. Boycc, of Kentucky. and
others,

Charles La,nb and the Cheese.

The late Charles Matthews used to
tell, with great glee, a little story of
Charles Lamb, which he vouched for
as authentic, and believed to be un-
published. | am indebted for it to
Mr.. Henry S. Leigh (the poet of
Cockayne), who had it from the lips
of his friend, the famous actor. One
evening Mary Lamb took q sudden
and violent fancy to have some stilton
cheese for supper, an article of which
they had not scrap in the house.
1t was very wet, and getting rather
late; but Charles, with that self-Genial
which showed itself in a life-devotion
TO his sister, at once volunteered to
try whether any could be got. He
sailed forth, and reached their cheese
monger just as the shutters were being
put up. In reply to his demand, he
was assured that they had some fine
ripe Stilton; and the shop-keeper pro-
ceeded to cut off a slice. As it lay on
the scales Lambs attention was forci-
bly, arrested by the lively gambals of
a number of maggots which came to
the surface of the ''fne ripe Stilton."
"Now, Mr.. Lamb" said the cheese
monger, "shall have the pleasure of
sending this home for you?" ''No, tn
th-thank you," said Charles. "If you
will give me a bit of twine l cou-cou-
could, prhaps l-l-lead it homew The
manner in which Charles Matthews
rendered Lambs stutter was, says Mr..
Leigh, inimitable.

New York Sun: "The Greenback
party in New York has nominated
lot of candidates for State Offices and
published new platform; but it is all
in vain. This party is on its final legs
and is approaching its final extinc-
ton. There was time when the
Greenback doctrine seemed to have
something in it, and a good many sin
cerc people were deluded by it; but
that time has gone by. We have in
our day seen great many of these
side parties which have risen up and
made a considerable stir, only to go
out again and be heard of no more
forever. Two real political parties,
with distinct principles and opposing
ideas Of policy, seem to be about as
many as human nature has need of.

that In the event OF her death the money should
go to his children. Mrs. Davis died some years
ago, and subsequently Davis surrendered the
policies to the company upon the payment to him
OF certain sum OF money. Meantime, Davis
children had become of age, and after his death,
which occurred in 1879, they brought suit to re-
cover the life insurance. The case has Just been
decided, the court holding that the transfer back
