Card From G. Marion Cade, M. d.

FRIEND JULIAN Was it slip Of the
pen with the FREE PRESS reporter, or has it
lost its heretofore boasted Independence
as its shyness boldly speaks in the seeming
fear of stain to its pages-by not engrossing
with in its table of contents of the arch
ives" for deposit in the corner stone of our
Court House THE Primary Sense of Inspi-
ration VI Modern Teachings!" Because (?)
it brands as heresies the fable -entranced"
mania of the heretofore strange de-
partures of teachings of the medieval ages,
from the pure christianity, flushed before
mankind in its full -fedged pristine fullness
by Christ and his Apostles with q prohibi-
ton of after addition or detraction? lis this
sly pandering by the FREE PRESS, Kyle
Nutshell, or the authority for depositing
record-matter from the hands of the public
into the box for safe keeping and delivery
to future generations of what this age
thought morally and spiritually2 I hope
there is justifable reason behind this un-
necessary omission.
The humble author claims nothing but
what is granted to..others as loyal citizen
lover of truth and true progress toward
right in all things. Ignoring every species
of accidental notoriety or impertinent in
trusion, am ever ready to defend my life's
work and defy its controversion in
manly way. Disdaining every sneer, or
covert innuendo for its unpopularity with
the mass of human creed-apologists- this
has ever been the fate of the gospel from
God (when promulgated in its first purity
from its inceptive existence.
1 sincerely hope it was an inadvertent
oversight. Respectfully,
G. MARION CADE.
Wimberley, Texas July Sd, 1882.
rive hasten to assure our friend that the
FREE PRESS is not in the slightest degree re-
sponsible for the omission of which he
complains. We obtained the list of articles
deposited from the county authorities about
thr court house. DIR. Cade's treatise was
not in the list as furnished US, hence its non
appearance in our columns.

From Oyster Creek.
OYsrER CREEK, July III

OYSTER CREEK, July lfth, 81
EDITOR FREE PRESS AS some little time
has interviewed since last corresponded,
and as the abundant rain has driven me into
the house, take up my pen to give you a
few items,
The first thing in the way of improv-
ment is the moving and fitting up of the
York's Creek Methodist Church. 1t was
builded in 1859. 1t is large frame house,
the framing consisting of the choic-
est cedar of the mountain forest. The neigh
bors joined in and tore down and hauled
the material three miles east of its twenty
three years standing to a more commodlous
place for this community, on piece of land
donated by J. P. Kellum, nearly in front OF
Mr.. John Scott's residence. Rev. MIR.
Buckner Harris was the first circuit rider we
had after it was built, and is on this circuit
this year; hence the first and last man who
preached in it.
Some may doubt the propriety of the re-
moval of the above named church, but those
who are well acquainted with its snrr ound-
ings do not question whether it is right or
wrong. The Germans have possession of the
adjacent country on the west and south,
there was no organized church, no regular
preaching hence counted only with the d.
lapidated.
Corn is estimated from 25 to 35 bushels to
the acre by some, others 40 to 30. Oats 40
to 80 bushels per acre. Wheat, to IL bush
els per acre. Cotton is doing well, I bale
or more of grown bOIls per acre on the early
cotton
Once in a while we read an article IN some
agriculturist which brings forth such . pro-
digous smile, If some pretty girl should
happen to be seated before rs she would
declare We bad mouth Is big as that of the
animal Balaam rode.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July IL, 1882,
EDITOR FRI4 Pass "A large number of
Jews, exiled from various towns Of South.
ern Russia, have arrived in the city. They
appear 10 be wretchod and utterly destitute
Their scanty baggage lies scattered about in
the tenement houses provided them by the
Hebrew societies, and these poor wander
derers in strange land are prowling around
the city in long blue coats and green caps,
asking for employment II is said that
thousands more will soon arrive. and the na-
tive and well-to.do Hebrews residing here
are greatly bothered as to what shall be done
with their helpless countrymen.
Kirkwood, a suburb of this city, is still
excited in consequence of the killing of Mr..
Milton Smith, prominent citizen of that
vacinity. His tragic death on last Friday
will never be forgotten. 1t seems that MIR.
Smith very properly and discreetly chastised
his little son Guy Smith for some miscon-
duct, and few moments afterwards, as the
father was taking seat at the breakfast Ia
BILE, he was suddenly confronted by the boy
armed with shot gun who taking deliberate
aim shot his father to death. The perpetra-
tor of this deliberate and awful deed is just
twelve years of age. He seems to fully re-
alize the nature of the fearful crime, and is
unrepentant and Indifferent about
it. His grand father, Geo. Eads, is utterly
crushed and broken hearted.
The coroner's jury are engaged to-day in
holding an inquest upon the body of Martin
Dorsey. Young Dorsey was printer by oc-
cupation and a sober and vel behaved fel-
low. He was found weltering in his blood
near his own door at day break yesterday
and too far gone when discovered,
to tell who assaulted him. His injuries were
in the head and chest and were inflicted with
a knife. DIR. Geo. A. Lotion, the eloquent
pastor of the Third Baptist Church of this
city, handed his resignation to the church
last night and will preach his farewell SER
mon on next Sunday. Much bitter regret is
felt here in consequence of this step taken
by the Doctor, and is the result of vi
cious scandal in which Doctor Lotions name
was falsely connected; ample prof of his
innocence soon overlook his malicious ira
ducers and thus made his many friends still
dearer to him, but yet reparation of the
wrong came swiftly, but too late to recall
the Doctors resolve to leave the place
that had become distasteful to him,
and we all hope that he will find home and
field of usefulness where scandal mOngers
are not 30 numerous as here and where
character is more highly priced.
The city is getting very dull and large
Numbers of citizens are leaving town by ev-
cry train. The Circuit Courts have all ad-
journed for the summer.

A young Columbia cOllegian named
Chew, who had probably been reading
Sir John Lubbock's latest book, became
so interested in ants that he laid him
self fiat on Central Park, New York i,
bench to observe n colony of them.
His studies were seriously interrupted
by n Park policeman who, in spite of
protests and explanations, marched
him to the station-hOuse and had him
locked up over night, refusing him
opportunity to send word to his family.
Next morning he was promptly dis
charged by the justice, but it cannot be
learned that the policeman was in any
way reprimanded for the outrage, nor
does it seem possible for the indignant
father to get redress. Evidently it
isn't safe to study science when an
officer is around, and the young man
will probably eschew that amusement
! in future.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR AT NEwPORT.-
We observe that President Arthur has
been very heartily taken in hand by
fashionable society. He seems to be
welcomed to it as valuable addition
to its wants, and as man fitted to
its wants, and as man fitted to shine
in it.
1t is long time since we have had Il
fashionable President. The small body
of people who call themselves society,
have for a good while objected to the
manners and general bearing of the
occupants of the White House. They
have not regarded them as at all nice.
They did not count them as Of their
sort.
But President Arthur is received not
merely as a President. He is welcom-
ed as handsome, an elegant man, to
whom the usages Of polite society are
no novelty. He fits into the crowd.
Moreover, he is widower, and of a
physical appearance very attractive to
the feminine eye. He towers over
most of the men in drawing room
carries himself easily and gracefully
and employs an artistic tailor, whose
genius he stimulates and directs by
his own good taste.--N. y. Sun.

EVAPORATEDP PEACHES. The Milford
Chronicle thus draws the difference
between evaporated and sun dried
peaches:
Dried peaches have long been
known, but sun-dried peaches compare
with cvaporatcd fruit, with about as
much honor as chips bear comparison
with bread. In sun-dried fruit there
is a taste and smell, and an actual
presence of decay. No one ever I'M
dertoOk to claim that sun-dried peach
was as good as the green fruit. But
with the evaporated fruit there is no
decay; with the speed of machinery
and intensely-heated currents of air
the rich ripe peach, THAT is too luscious
for canning because of its soft and ripe
conditiOn) is changed into product
that ten years ago was wholly un
known in the market. The evapOrateC
peach is richer and more nutrition:
than the original peach of which it il
the product, and as its chemical analy
sis will show, it is better food. Mos
people prefer it to canned peach, an'
rate its superiority over this to be a
great as the superiority of canned
peach as over the old-fashioned pre-
serves that were put up by on
mothers, pound for pound. "

Justice Field has done John China
man a good turn. In regard to the
San Francisco laundry ordinance,
whose purpose was plainly to drive
the Chinese out of the business, he has
decided that every Chinaman now in
this country "has, under the pledge of
the nation, the right to remain and
follow any of the lawful ordinary trades
and pursuits of life without let or
hinderance from the State or any of
its subordinate municipal bodies,
except such as may arise from the en-
forcement of equal and impartial laws.
His liberty to follow any such Occupa-
ton cannot be restrained by invalid
legislation of any kind-certainly not
by municipal ordinance that has no
stronger ground for its enactment than
the miserable pretence that the business
of laundry-that is, of washing
clothes for hire-is against good morals
or dangerous to the public safety"

80 PER POUND FOR BUITER.-
Stephen Magraw, of Cecil county
Md, had fine Aidcrney COW which
tickled the fancy Of Thomas Waring,
Of the same county. Mr. Magraw
wanted 1926 for his cow, but Mr..
Waring declined giving that price and
made this proposition: He would give
the owner $40 per pound for all the
butter his COW made in n week and
the animal was to be fed but two quarts
of corn bran morning and evening.
This Mr.. M. accepted and at the end
of the week the COW had yielded
material enough to make - pounds
and 10 ounces of excellent butter, with
out salt. This amount of butter ut so
per pound would equal $l26.25. 1t
will be seen Mr.. Warnings animal cost
him S1.25 more, mt his own bargain,
than the asked price .--Orford Press.

Saturday half-holidays are among
the innovations of great cities that
small ones may we'll initiate. A New
York paper neatly sums up the argu-
ments in favor of this custom, claiming
that it gives employees needed rest,
allows an opportunity for making re-
pairs to machinery without trenching
upon Sunday, and is likely to arrest
the tendency to Europeanize" Sun
day. This last point should have a
powerful influence with that considera-
bic number of employers who profess
to be shocked that their workmen take
Sunday for recreation.

HINTS ON PREsERVING.-A lady
correspondent sends the following
hints, which we have no doubt will
prove valuable:
"All fruits contain water, which
must be evaporated to make the per-
feet preserve. Preserves should never
be made, if possible, when the wind
blows from the East, northeast or
southeast. These winds bring an at
mosphere charged with moisture, and
the water of the preserves is not driven
off. Always, if possible, select day
of North, or Northwest or West wind
they are dry and the preserves will
keep. All this applies to soap making"

BEELZEBUB.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

Everywhere throughout creation,
From and to the midnight hour,
BeelZebub is ever busy,
Seeking whom he may devOur."
This we learn from Holy Scripture
Therefore, none its truth can doubt;
So, when rings the bell of conscience,
Then for Beelzebub look out.
Though he have foot that's cloven,
Yet he gently, lightly goes;
And, when he for souls is seeking,
Is not apt to stub his toes.
Sure of foot, and stepping softly,
Not football you may hear;
Yet old BeclZebub will reach you
And be roaring in your car.
Yes for he of wars tn father"
viii with fiendish zcst rejoice
If by roaring like a lion.
He can drown your inward voice.
Don't you listen to the demon;
If you do he will deceive.
With the sOpulstry so subtle
Whispered to our Mother Eve.
Do not eat of fruits forbidden
By the laws of God and man.
Though the sly, old serpent utter,
Freely eat of all you cam
To friendship for your neighbors,
Sympathy for all distressed,
Charity and kind forebearancc.
Give home within your breast.
COnstancy and loves devOtiOns
Cherish as of self part;
Let not Satan drive the angels
From the chambers of your heart.
Let the Right be aye your armor,
While the sword of Truth you WELD;
Then, by Heaven made strong in valor,
You shall stand and never yield.
Though the very Prince OF Devils"
With his legiOns may assail;
Not shaft shall reach your bosom
Through your trusty coat or mail
Such a coat l must acknowledge,
Is a coat much better far
Thar the best they manufacture
At the Tower Hall Bazaar.
That is saying much, yes, very
Much indeed-the truth is bold
For the coats of Tower Hall are
Firmly stitched and cheaply sold.
As a Bard who's well intentioned,
We to every man would call
Wear the coat or mail we've mentioned
O'e. a suit from TOWER HALL.
1T IS NOT GIVEN To MAN to know with certain
