Thousands of people in South Caro-.

children are undergoing unparalleled
privations, and facing death with stole
ism that should command both sym,

people. They have made no outcry.
sent out no appeal to the public; but
have suffered on in silence, being toe
proud to beg and too honest to steal.
There are people with large plantations
who are so hedged in that bread is bare
ly attainable. SO long as they had any
thing to spare whites and blacks helped
each other, but now that supplies are
wholly exhausted all are sharing the
general calamity. The Marion Index,
Of the 7th inst, says that in no year
since the war have provisions been so
scarce and that hundreds in Marion
county are literally without bread. just
what is true of this county is equally
true of others.

Western States have their earlier

April to the first of May, whcn thous-

Five hundred mormon immigrants ar
rived at Castle Garden, New York.
half Of whom were English and the 9th.
er half Scandinavians. They were &C.
companied by seventeen mormon mis-
sionaries. and Immediately started TO,
Utah. This is only one days record OF
mormon increase. How true it is that
anything that savors of persecution de.
feats itself. The blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church. Mormonism
was never so prosperous as in its day Of
persecution, and the same thing may
be said Of other denominations. Yet
people will still indulge in foolish talk
about crushing out this OF that set
whose beliefs are contrary to their own.

The Cincinnati newspapers are still
trying to exculpate themselves from the
charge Of netting the late riot, but
they find it q difficult matter. TIL,
truth is, that instead OF the so-called
dangerous classes" being Mt the bot.
tom of the bloody affair, it was respec.
table newspapers and respectable pub
lie speakers. Had they exhibited ordi;
nary common sense there would havt
been no riot. Undoubtedly the RIO
will work reform where reform wa:
greatly needed, but that could have
been accomplished without bloodshed
and destruction of property.

The Cattle Plague,

Just now in the East there is we'll

raisers at the alarming rapidity with
which the newly discovered infec-
ton is spreading among the cattle
in the Western States and Territor-
les called the foot and mouth dis

Territories east of the Rocky
Mountains and in the Mississippi
Valley this disease has made its ap-
pearance, and in Kansas, Nebraska
and Colorado it il spreading very
rapidly, and in some instances
whole herds are found to be infected
with the disease. Thus far there

disease having made its appearance
west of the Rocky Mountains, but
the nature Of the disease and its
easy manner of ansmission leaves
little doubt but that, unless the
vigorous efforts which are now
being put forth shall speedily check
its spread, the disease will surely
find its way to the Pacific States.
Nevada cattle men have taken the
precaution to inform themselves as
to the general characteristics OF the
disease, and are on the lookout for
any symptoms tending in that di-
rection, with the view of slaughter
ing all cattle the moment there is
reasonable grounds for suspicion,

country from Scotland, by two
herders who carried it in their
clothes from an infected district in
that country.-Reno journal.

REV. DIR. j. NJ. REED.

Rev. j. NJ. Reed, secretary of the Methodist
Episcopal Missionary society occupied the
pulpit yesterday morning at Foundry NJ. l..
church. He selected his text from j ohm xiv,
2: II 90 to prepare place for you" Having
alluded to the fact that these words contained
world of mysteries, he proceeded to name
some of them. ut was wonder that Christ
came to this world. Never before has there
been such visit or such visitor. Man
did not deserve it and had no claim
to it, but He came. 1t was wonder
that He did not remain longer to correct the
errors, relieve the sufierings. and wash away
the sins of mankind, but" said the preacher
this can be partly explained Man had n
right TO hope that Christ exalted could do
moro for him than Christ Inundated, and
that He would do more; that the highest in
terests Of man required His departure instead
of His remaining. Immensely the greater
work was to be done In Heaven. The presence
OF Christ there was perpetually needed, as
Gods justification for .justifying sinners.
Without him the society OF Heaven would not
have been prepared to receive among them
such race, with such history as ours" The
text was shown TO contain the promise, not
only of place in Heaven, but place of honor
there. He continued Every child of God
will be received, not only into the city of God,
but into thehouse Of the King, the royal pal
ace. And this partiality toward the sinners of
earth demands some explanation of iustifiCa-
tion, and this is furnished by the presence of
the only Son Of God" The sermon unfolded
the view of the intercession of the Lord
Jesus Christ before the Father in Heaven in
behalf of sinners, and was concluded with
portraiture Of Heaven, under "A description
OF my Fathers house" whsn he said ut
will be a reunion OF all loved ones, intensi-
fed by the Glories bestowed by Jehovah, and
by tho presence Of his adorable Son."

REV. DIR. BARKER.

Last night DIR. Barker, missionary in India,
preached at Hamline church, from the text
"And the desire of nations shall come.' He
said all nations have longings, which must bo
satisfied. These are longings for peace in
the inner man. He went among q people
unlike ourselves in everything, except in
thc9e longings. These people would sacrifice
, everything for religion. He described the
various modes of self torture by which they
tried to gain rest for their troubled souls.
Some have been known to keep in the same
position for years, and have their limbs stiff
fcned so that they were afterward unable to
move them. Others measured with their
bodies the distance to shrines. The saddest
feature of this heather religion is, that with
all their efforts they do not gain the peace
which they seek. He said, in regard to their
idols, that he never yet had found
%S omS man aod He o'oSSa SescrSod mG6s tss 'diG d
fcgcnt natural objects which were
supposed to be the abiding places of their
dC,ties, ana stated that the idols of their i'm
mediate worship were supposed to act as me-
d!atore with the great God about whom they
know nothing. He described the interest
felt by tho heathens in Christianity and their
willingness to be convinced. Also tho Gu
rious ceremony practiced after the death of
friends, of sending out lights IN boats, about
six inches square, for the purpose, as they
state it, of shedding some light on the dark
ness beyond" This desire for light 10 an
other Of the wants of nations There are
some who think they are beyond tho need Of
hight, but these are going backward instead
Of advancing. Every man knows no is
sinner, and among the heathen this is felt very
much. In India they try to atone for sins in
various ways. Children are sometimes cast
into the rivers, though the strain on the
mother is so great that it frequently breaks
her heart. Widows sacrifice themselves on
the burning pyres Of their husbands for the
Atonement of sin. There IS some doubt, he
said, as to whether this missionary business
would be success. But he could say that If
we do our part, and show the heather that
this longing can be satisfied by Christianity,
they would embrace it with an ardor equal to
that of hungry man before whom food is
sat
