This in the Hand Press shows one Of the
dangers to which settlers in the new regions
are liable: Geo. w. Bosley, one of the first
settlers of Hand county, lives about two
miles north Of st. Lawrence. Last Sunday
while a fire was being started for dinner, the
draftcarried piece of lighted paper out of
the flue and falling on some dry grass set it
aire. The strong wind carried it TO twelve
large wheat stacks near by and the whole
business was consumed. The fire also
burned up about 500 worth of hay and one
end of his barn. Mr.. B. estimates his loss
at about 81, 200.
The Crandon Tribuae makes these figures
on the profit of the soft wheat generally
grown in the south: Twenty bushels at fifty
cents is ten big dollars, the total receipts
from an acre of ground. Now let US see
how much il costs tn Uet this.

New York Times.
The people who are interested in the public
playing of base ball on Sunday in Columbus, o.,
are acting in very silly way There seems to
be no question that the law of Ohio forbids the
playing of ball on Sunday, and that the judge
who dismissed the writ of habeas corpus made
out for the catcher Of the club had no choice
If the public opinion of Ohio will not sustain
the enforcement.of the law against the base ball
players the statute can be repealed In point Of
fact, however, if Sunday laws are iustifable at
all they are certainly applicable to base ball
matches. The players and their hackers choose
to assume that they are the victims Of persecu-
ton, and that the law is perverted to their in
jury. They are, therefore, going about to stop
the running of horse-cars on Sunday
and the issue of morning newspapers
on Monday. This same method Of
defense has been tried before now by liquor
sellers who were arrested for violation of the
Sunday laws. 1t will have the same result
Base ball and beer are not public necessities;
nor are they even public convenences, like
horse-cars and newspapers, while Sunday
base ball matches and Sunday liquor selling are
public scandals in the eyes of all people who be-
1ieve in the religious observance Of Sunday, as
Sunday horse cars and Monday newspapers are
not.
What would result from this attempt to put
public conveniences upon the same ground as
public amusements, If such an attempt were
made, would probably be the repeal Of the Sun
day laws as they affected horse-cars and news
papers and their stringent enforcement as they
affected base ball and beer. In short
the friends of base ball in Columbus ought to
learn that if statute be not sustained by
public opinion the thing to be done is not to vio-

The Story of His Conversion and Baptism
Into the Methodist Church.

Augusta (Ga.) Letter.
The appearance of Robert Toombs, the great
fire-eater of the South, as delegate of the Dis
trict Methodist Conference at Harmony Grove
marks new era in his life. 1t is an era in
strange contrast with the stormy career of one
OF the most brilliant men America has ever pro-
duced. and is the closing scenein biography
which must soon become complete volume.
The manner of his conversion was character
istie of the man. Bishop Geo. F. Pierce had
been college-mate of Toombs. Together these
two young Students the one from Wilkes
county the other from Greene; the
tial gentleman, the other the thoughtful
child of laborious Methodist minister, pursued
their studies, winning scholastic victories, yet
by different methods With Toembs the an
swers came instinctively; with Pierce itrequired
the burning of the midnight oil Toombs was
ever under the rod of correction, which tradi-
ton tells u.s. required his removal to Prineeton;
and even there his rebellious spirit would brook
no dictation Pierce turned his back upon the
friyoiities of youth, and engaged in the revival
services in the little church of which
his father, Lowe Pierce, was pastor. Yet
Toombs and Pierce were the closest of
friends, and in the long career which subse-
quently opened to both of them, in which one
drifted into politics and became the maelstrom
of one of the most exciting episodes of history
and the other found preferment in the church,
becoming an honored bishop, there never cease
for moment that attachment born of college
association. Meeting Bishop Pierce one day
about year ago, religion was mentioned
George exclaimed Toombs, impetuously

This determination caused sensation through
out the State. Itsent astonishment through that
class which laughs at holy things while it

Sunday came, it found the old statesman sur

whom was his brother, whose joy at the event
about to take place found ventin tears. Toombs
himself was affected, and for once found hest
fancy in speech when Bishop Pierce, taking him
by the hand, greeted him as a brother in Christ

There can be no doubt that General Wallace

faint of corruption through his three years so
