AT. Fripp was siXty-scycn years Of
age, and was 9 native of Beaufort dis:
trict, where nc was before the war
an extensive and successful planter.
Driven from his home by the Federal
troops, on the fall of Fort Royal in
1861, he removed with lis children to
this place. His property was after
wards sold by the United States au-
thoritics under the Infamous Direct
Tax proceedings, and he never re-
turned TO his old homo spending most
of his life will, his daughters in Winns-
boro. In this community, rs III every
other whore he was known, he cn-
joycd universal esteem. or very
retiring disposition, his contact with
men was limited, yet sufficient to i'm
press his charac2Sr upon all. In every

-. Tie SEASON or PNEUMONIA For
forty years pneumonia has been a
growing cause of mortality in this
country, and it now ranks next to coli-
sumption in dcstructivcntss. 1t has
been unusually prevalent this Year,
and March is the month in which it
reaches its annual climax. Although
not generally fatal among tho young,
1T is one of the most deadly diseases
will, which the aged contend, and q
prominent physician says That you can
count on Your fingers all more than
seventy years Of age who recover from
its attack. Few people more than
fifty years of age arc ablo to withstand
it. AS n destroyer Of distinguished
mon it has become conspicuous, and its
fataiity among, those who have passed
tho meridian Of life accounts 1oF the
xact. Pneumonia is still mysterious
disease; and its origin is as much in
dispute as it was quarter vt ccntu-
ry ago. Climatic changes untoubtcd-
ly affect it, but tho condition of the
person is moro important than the
condition of tile weather in regard to
its assaults: y slight cold may specdi-
~ develop into malignant pneumonia
in person OF dissipatcd habits, while
the scycrcst. cold may not result in
pneumonia in d person Of correct life
and robust health. There is no dis
case which pays more respect Ind
obedience to the laws of health than
pne umoiiia. They who study and Oh
serve those laws have little to fear
from its ravagcs. Meanwhile, all
Should bear in mind that this is tho
season of pneumonia, and therefore
take especial precautions to protect
themselves from colds. a,

Southern Lumber Resources.

Southern Lumber Resources.
It is computed that the forests of Tex
as will supply the whole country with
timber for 100 years.
North Carolina has an acreage ofgrow-
ing timber amounting to about rs per
cent. Of her territory.
The yellow pine forests OF Florida ex-
tend over three-ffths of the six counties
of Putnam, Marion, Sumter, Polk, He's
nando and Hillsborough.
Louisiana's timber lands cover 15,OOO,-
900 acres. It il said that the lumber
business of Maine and Michigan will ul-
timately be transferred to aFlorida and
Louisiana.
A great pine belt stretches across
Southern Georgia and Alabama to the
rivers that flow into Mobile Bay. The
pine forests of Georgia alone cover an
area of about II SOC, 600 acres.
There are immense tracts of cotton
woods along the Mississippi and its
tributaries. The cottonwood tree reach
es the height ofseventy feet, and planks
from four to six feet wide are easily cut
from it. It is perfectly free from knots

The revolution.in Haytl, OF which only
brief particulars have come to hand,
is an uprising of the mulattoes, who
comprise about one-third of the popula-
ton, and its most intelligent and pro-
gressive class, against the intolerable ty-
rannies of President Solomon, repre-
sentinql the black domination. Their
property has been confscated. and hum
dreds have been shot without trial,
while others have been imprisoned. or
banished. It is said that they have
formed an alliance with black leaders,
rivals of Solomon, who have some popu-
lar following of their own race, and are
aided by the revolt against the general
tyranny and burdensome taxation of his
administration. Whether they will sue.
coed or not is a matter about which no
reason able conjecture can be formed,
from the lack of definite information,
but success is generally deemed improb-
able. Hayti is a black nation of the
purest type, full of barbarism and feroc-
ity. It is an unerateful fact for those
who hope for the native improvement
of the negro race.

Cooper Institute, New York, is fine
and enduring monument to. the memory
of the late Peter Cooper. Thousands
now. living and yet to come will always
bear in grateful remembrance the name
of the benefactor who helped them to
educate themselves and lay the founda-
ton of their success and happiness.
Early in life Mr.. Cooper felt the difficult
ties that young people meet in seeking
education in art and science. He de-
termined to aid those who should come
after him by placing within the reach of
any one in his native city the means of
getting such education as each person
might most need. The building for the
Cooper union was begun in 1855, on its
present site at the junction of Third and
Fourth avenues and Eighth street. The
first cost amounting to more than $780,
0O0-and ali the expenses of tie Union,
have been betrayed by Mr.. Cooper.
The plan of the Union is based largely
upon the working of the Polytechnic
school of Paris. There are free schools
for instruction in the aesthetic and in
dustrtal arts and in scientific depart
ments beyond the teaching given in the
public schools. There are regular
courses of lectures on subjects of art,
science, political and social economy.
and literature, and more than twenty
professors and instructors are employed
at an annual expense of $4,000 This
great expense is met by the endowment
bestowed by Mr.. Cooper and by the
{ rental of business stores in the building.
which is, of course, equally his gift.

Whatever msy be thought of Mormon
ism or of any Fits adherents, will not
invalidate the fact that it has assumed
considerable proportions and is growing
with remarkable rapidity. 1t is vital in
propogandism and defiant in strength.
It's missionaries find abundant recruits
in Europe and proselytes are numerous
in the United States. The leaders are
frequently men of education and re-
markable skill in affairs. and the devo-
ton Of the members of the church re-
sists all the influence of knowledge, the
enlightment of the age, and the force of
public opinion. The history of the Nor
mon church is perhaps, all things con-
sidered, the most remarkable event of
the age and is perpetual puzzle to all
reasonable understanding. What the
outcome will be no one can tell, but one
thing is certain, it can never be crushed
by anything that savors of persecution.
That thing has been tried.

Much to the surprise of the people
who year ago doubted whether an ex-
hibition of railway appliances could be
made very successful, the National Rail
way Exposition to be held in the hear

the Interstate Exposition buildings are
