Facts aud Figures.

To the Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN,.
thank you for your ringing article Of Tuesday.
Shall We Choose Victory or Defeat2' You are
right There must bo no delay. The House
should be purged now OF men who have no right
to seats therein, otherwise the Republicans aud
Liberals of the Gulf States will las you prodicO
" fold their arms and lot tho Bourbons win" The
Bourbons are no more entitled to their present
majority In the House from South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louis
lana, than TO a like majority from the six New
England States. If fair elections were held in the
states have named, they would be oyerwhem-
lngy Republican. Nor can this be disputed. The
deer does not follow the hunter, nor does the coll
orch man vote with his oppressor. Le me supply

A CLOSE GALL

The people of n little town In Warrick County
have been hanging right over the brink of fra
grant church scandal, but are not aware of the
fact nor will they b, until this copy of the Argus
reaches its readers over there Just before the
close of the services last Sunday, a good brother
walked forward TO the pulpit, handed the minister
an announcement, rs he thought and asked him
to read II TO the congregation before he dismissed
them Just before time was called on the Doxology
the minister said:
"Brother Bramley has handed in the following"
and in clear voice he read the note, which ran
as follows:
MY OWN PET BRAN: Are you never coming to
see me Ogain2 am dying to see my darling
old mummy that calls herself your wife will never
find IL out How can you endure her Come,
darling, to one who truly loves you. Your own
and only, MARY.
The good brother had handed in the wrong an
nouncemont. At the close OF the reading the min
lister looked hoTorStruck, the congregation stared
at Bramlcy with cold, hard stares, aud his wife
rose up in her seat aud glared at him like IT,
gress. lie was equal to the occasion, however
and, rising calmly and with look OF perfect res
ignation on his face, he said:
"Brolhers and sisters: II may appear strange to
you that l should nsk our beloved pastor to read
such terrible thing aS that from the pulpit but
the best way to fight the dovl Is to fight him boldly
face to face The writer of that vile note Is un-
known to me, but is evidently some deprayed
child of sin who Is endeayorlng 10 besmircb my
Christian reputation. / shall use every endeayor
| TO ferret out the writer, ana II discovered Will
iearlessly proclaim her name and hold her up TO
the contempt of all good Christian people" He
sat down amid the murmllr OF appreciation and
sympathy, aud his wife wanted TO hug him right
before tho congregation, That evening he told tho
writer OF the noto what had occurred, and re-
marked with grin that II was the closest call he
ever had in his liie.-EpdnsuiRe argus.

Concerning the growing crop the Ch-
ca, On. u Herald Of July 25.h says:
Dealers in this city confne themselves
to taking orders for new
crop. which are coming In quite freely.
In some parts of the country brewers
seem TO have more old hops than they
really want, and two or three cases have
come to our knowledge where they have
resdid a part of their present stock of
hops to dealers at an advanced price.
This does not look as if there was any
danger Of a dearth in hops before the
new crop is harvested. News from the
country shows that hops are already
coming into bur, and complaints OF
vermin are also being heard. Still It il
said that where the crop Of last year
wax a top CROP" this year there Is
greater abundance Of arms, and they
are sll well loaded with blossoms. There
is evidently some fear that lice will
make havoc with tie crop, as it is quite
possible that the weather in August will
be hot and muggy. Rumor has it that
a smell lot, about 20 bales, was sold in
the country last week for 41c. We hear
Of several cases where the present crop
of hops has been contracted at 3Oc, Csc,
and in few instances as high a. 40c.
We also hear Of offers to cont act at 4Oc
which have been refused. A party who
rode 20 miles the latter part of last
week among the hop fields Of Oneida
and Madison counties asserts positively
that the crop will be a good quarter
shor; Of the crop of last year.

NEW ORLEANS, March 20.-Persons COM
ing from Tensas parish report every planta-
ton rnder water or affected by it. There
are eight breaks along the parish front. The
most disastrous of these is the Ships bayou
break, which has gradually widened and is
now nearly mile wide. The water is rush
ing through in a stream twenty feet deep,
causing the food of water from other breaks
to rise ten inches every twenty -four hours.
Ships bayou break is between che upper and
lower ends of Lake St. Joseph, both of which
are near the river bank. When the break
occurred the water rushed through in
such volume that it raised the water
in the lake go rapidly that 1t ran out
OF the lower end into the river lands. The
water In some places in the parish runs over
the tops of plantation cabins. Planters, as
the waters encroached upon their lands, sent
their live stock across the river to the hills
on the Mississippi side. The loss of stock in
the parish is light. The planters are as
hopeful as possible under the extraordinary
circumstances. If the water recedes by the
first or middle OF May they will be able to
plant to a considerable extent. The over
how was earlier than usual; it flooded the
lands before plowing had begun. This will
cause a delay of week or two, as plowing
will have to be done as soon as

:. THE BOOK.
Finy-secOnd Anniversary of the shelby
County Bible Society.

The hfty-second anniversary OF this lime
honored society was held last Sunday after
noon in the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, the Rev. E. Daniel, one of the vice
presidents, presiding.
The executive committees report showed
large amount of work done in the way Of
canvassing and distributing the Scriptures,
although many difficulties were encountered
during the past eleven months, the period
embracing the report.
The exercises commemorative of the death
of Mr.. Ethel H. Porter, for many years the
president of the society, and of the Rev. S.
B. Suratt, vice-presideT, were very i'm
pressive. A very fine crayon likeness of Mr..
Porter, draped in mourning, occupied a
prominent place on the platform, and the
report OF the memorial committee presented
by the Rev. Z. NJ. Richardson, as to Mr..
Porter, and by the Rev. j. H. Evans, as to
the Rev. Mr.. Suratt, set forth very appro-
priately and forcibly the characters of these
two good men.
Another important event Of the meeting
was the election of a new president. The
choice fell unanimously upon Mr.. John r.
Pepper, and his many friends, and the friends
of the Bible cause feel assured that the
selection was a most judiciOus one. Upon
taking the chair, Mr.. Peppers remarks were
such as indicated his feeling of responsibility
and his purpose to give himself to the duties
which the position involved. Mr.. L. ID. Rice,
secretary, and Mr.. ]. H. McDdvitt, treasurer,
were reelected, and an executive committee
from the various CO operating churches was
chosen, the pastors OF those churches being
er-cfci, vice-presidents.
The presence of Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes en-
HANGED the interest of the occasion. Mrs.
Hughes presided gracefully at the organ, and
Mr.. Hughes sang "Shall We Meet Beyond
the River very sweetly indeed, and with a
most pleasing effect. Altogether the occasion
was a very impressive one.

in the back, premature old age promptly cured
