DEAR SINS: In reading yout paper da-

DEAR SIR'S: In reo0tng your paper dA-
ted Monday 23d, I noticed an article on
the Observance OF the Sabbath The
man who wrote it did not give his name
or should have paid him visit, for
believe him to be one of those who are
going up to the help of the Lord against
the Mighty. Now, what l wish to state
more particularly is, that when the
judgments of God are abroad in the
earth, the people shall learn wisdom,
and as the judgments of God are too
plain to be misunderstood by these
things seen almost every day, we can
not be mistaken that 1t Is the fulilment
Of Gods Word.
In the 3Oth chapter OF Jeremiah, after
speaking of the gathering Of the Tribes
OF Israel, and how they are to be
gathered, and what trouble they are to
experience, he says" q" And ye shall be my
people and 1 will be your God; Behold
the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth
with fury, a continuing whirlwind it
shall fall upon the heads of the wicked;
the fierce anger Of the Lord shall not re-
turn until He have done it, and until He
have performed the intent of His heart;
in the latter days ye shall consider 1t. I"
wrote . pamphlet on the subject in
the year 80, entitled the Ten Lost
Tribes how they were to be gathered.

Alleged COnspiracies IN America.
LONDON, April A.-In the House of
Commons this afternoon Mr.. Gladstone
replying to the question of Mr.. Bourke
as to whether any steps had been taken
at Washington relative to conspiracies
organized in America against England,
said he did not think it in accordance
with public interest to make any state
ment touching communications with
the United States Government ION the
subject of the outrages.
Lord Carlingford, Lord President Of
council and Minister of agriculture, re-
plying in the House of Lords yesterday
to Lord Dunraven's remarks regarding
the condition of the people in Ireland,
said the accounts from distressed dis
tricts had been decidedly more encour-
aging during the last few weeks. He
said the Government were agreed that
emigration was the best and the inevi-
table remedy for the distress, but they
had neither the right nor was it neces-
sary to enforce it upon the people.
The government had received q hope
full offer for the removal Of number
of selected families across the Atlantic.
In consequence of this statement the
motion of Lord Dunraven for the adop-
tion of a scheme of emigation was with
drawn.

Burglary and Breeches.

Some wretch entered an open
window of the residence of Mr.. w.
G. Davis last Saturday night and
went through all the rooms, un-
locked the back door and left, car
rying with him Mr. Davis coat,
pants and vest and Prof SWANS
suit of clothes. The loss foots up
about 81 in money, good pocket
knife, both keys to the store, the in
side key to the safe and a large wa
ter melon--besides leaving the
back gate open and letting the COW
and calf together. The thief did
not disturb anything else, though
there were various things of value
in easy reach, and he was consider
ate enough not to disturb the sleep
ers and to keep out of the store af-
ter he got the keys. There are va
rious surmises as to what he
wanted with Mr.. Davis clothes, the
most probable solution being that
he is a Snowman out of a tent, or
perhaps the advance agent of cir
Gus with a contract to get a cover
for Jumbo. He took the water mel
on, it is said, to fill out the spare
space in the pm ats if he concludes
to wear them. If he goes in with
out a guide he will probably be
caught before he gets through ex-
ploring them. He left a railroad
spike under the window, which in
dicates that he didn't want it any
longer, and it was thought that as
he evidently came for money he
would probably leave the clothes
where he rifed the pockets. A care
full survey from the top of Fort Hill
did not reveal the breeches in the
surrounding four miles. 1t was
Thought also that he might try to
trade the pants off to some bank
cashier. He probably broke his
back trying to get away with them
and the next thing we hear of him
he will be breaking into drug
store for a porous plaster. The
railroad spike is good clew, if the
police could imagine what it indi-
Gates. Mr.. Davis went to Lawrence
burg nexi day and his misfortune
has not told on his health. He
still weighs about 270. Prof. Swan
does not much like his initiation in
to town ways. If we can find the
thief we will notify an anxious pub
lie and open a wholesale clothing
house. In the meantime, citizens
should wear their breeches when
asleep.

nae Normal Soholarship.

Prof. w. L. Mann of Giles College,
attended the meeting Of the board
of examiners in Columbia last
Tuesday to award the Peabody
scholarship in the Nashville normal
school. Prof. w. r. Webb and DIR.
w. A. Smith sat with Prof Mann
and seven contestants entered the
lists. Three of them were from
Giles-Miss Mollie Abernathy of
Big creek, Miss Josie Farmer of
Lynnyille and Mr.. j. H. Hamilton
of Giles College. At the end of the
examination and on a comparison
of the answer sheets it was found
that Miss Laura Hamilton of Will
hanson and Mr.. j. II. Hamilton of
Giles College were ahead and each
had sc. A review Of their papers
did not enable the board to decide
between them, and they therefore
submitted them to Prof. Robertson,
one of the board but who had not
been present, and he awarded the
scholarship to Miss Hamilton. 1t
is not known, of course, what point
Prof. Robertson based his opinion
upon, as the other gentlemen could
not discover any difference, but it
may be inferred that it was upon
the face of the papers-the chirog-
raphy-as Miss Hamilton's was
veiy neatly written and Mr.. Hamil-
tons rather clumsily, because
of the fact that he hrs but one arm.
We suppose this was right, how
ever, for the absence of an arm can
not be counted either a qualifica-

ton or palliation. We congratu-
late Mr.. Hamilton. He is one
armed young man without resources
who has educated himself and
borne himself admirably before a
people who have witnessed his he
roic endeavors 20 acquire an educa
ton.
This is the third successive tri-
umph of Giles College. Mr.. Will
Rivers carried off the appointment
to West Point, Mr.. Erie Edmund
son won the Annapolis appointment.
and now Mr.. Hamilton ties for the
normal scholarship. They were all
students in Giles College, and these
triumphs cannot be classed as mere
incidents, coincidents or accidents.
The thing is too persistentIy one
sided to admit of but one solution,
and that is that Giles College fits
its boys to win. The boys do the
winning, but Giles College learns
them how, and the triumph is both
a tribute to their learning and ge-
MUS and a feather in the cap Of
their alma mater.

Horrible Accident.

Yesterday afternoon. we received
intelligence of a horrible accident
which occurred the evening before
at Williams & Watson's saw mill
on west Shoal creek. Mr.. VIM.
Clemens, the sawyer, was caught by
the saw and terribly mangled and
at last reports was expected to die
from the fatal wounds at any min
ute. As we learn he was adjusting
a log which he was saving ON the
carriage, and fell on the sharp teeth
of the whirling SAW, his shoulder
and head striking first. His shout
der was lfrightfully torn and the
side of his head cut open until the
brain was oozing out. There was
no hope of his recovery, but he was
still alive and suffering the excru-
ciating pains of an awful death when
our informant last heard from him
yesterday morning.

A Natural Water Supply.

We have been having somewhat
to say with respect to water works
for Pulaski and our idea compre-
hended a reservoir on Fort Hill to
be supplied by pipes from cave
spring. We have been informed
now that there is sn underground
spring near the old road leading up
from the factory towards Mr.. New
ton Whites that is high enough to
supply the town and perhaps of suf-
ficient volume. 1t runs few feet
under the surface and is probably
one of the streams that supplies the
town spring. If this should be
found to be sufficient it can and
ought to be utilized in supplying
the town. If it is not sufficient
land we doubt it) the other project
ought to be consummated. If the
authorities will do the work and is
sue special bonds for the purpose,
the interest upon the bonds could
be more than paid by the water
tax. Even if the water tax does
not pay half the interest, the bene-
fits will more than compensate for
the outlay. We believe if the cal
culation were made it would show
that the reduction in insurance
rates would pay the interest on tile
bonds and more. If Pulaski was
well supplied with water from
Fort Hill it would be equivalent to
a fire engine in each house that had
a plug and of course the insurance
would be materially lessened. Some
of our people are paying enormous
Insurance rates and they cannot get
it reduced because the companies
know our liability to and helpless
ness in case of fire. There are hun
dred families or more in Pulaski to-
day carrying water from fifty yards
to half mile. The labor thus ex-
pended, if it could be utilized to-
gether, would 90 far towards paying
the interest. If this labor is saved |
these people they can use that time
profftably perhaps. What would
the cost be, any way? Is there no
one who can approximate it? Per
haps if we agitate this matter a lit
tie we may strike water yet. We
have written these articles as a pre-

be some interest and then another
learth.
