ceremonial of the craft was performed with
the dignity BETTING the occasion.
The body was consigned to it's last home,
and the familiar face, the warm grasp, the
sympathetic tone known to SO many of us
in the day of prosperity and the hour of
trial were hidden away for all time in the
quiet of the grave; but the memory of the
faithful pastor and loved friend, the
example of the Christian gentleman, the
fearless courage Of the champion of the
right and friend of the oppressed will long
live in the hearts Of those who knew and
appreciated him. Our loss is his eternal
gain doubtlessly, yet it would need more
than all our faith and all our strength to
accept the fiat of the Almighty and hum

The funeral of the late Revd. j. c. Du
Bots d. d. took place in FrederikSted at
4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The
corpse had been carried from on board the
Antigua schooner straight to the Church,
and from thence was borne to the grave,
followed by a great %concOurse of people, a
short space in which to form a procession
having been contrived by leaving the
church yard by the principal gate and
re-entering at the gate nearest the spot
where the interment was to take place.
Some interesting particulars, as well as
an eloquent expression of the esteem in
which the deceased was held, will be found
in a communication, Gin Memoriam",
which has been sent us by a member of
the st. Paul's congregation. We have
also much pleasure in reprinting a notice
published by Bishop Branch in Antigua.

Central Factory Movement In
Barbados.

The Barbados Agricultural Society,
in a Circulars addressed to the proprie-
tary body and others interested in
the welfare of the Island, informs
them that a Committee appointed by
the Society to receive and consider
suggestions for action in view of the
evils which threaten the Colony,
has adopted resolutions recommend
ing the adoption of the USine or
Central Factory system as the most
practical means, efforts in other di-
r%ectionS having failed, Of rendering
the manufacture Of sugar profitable,
and thereby averling ruin and it calls
upon them to consider the resolutions,
which the Society hopes will meet
with hearty support. A loan of
&750,O0O will be required TO carry
out the scheme, and it is suggested
that application be made to the Bri-
fish Government for the necessary as
Sistance, either in the shape OF a di-
rect loan, or a guarantee III raising

Rugg left the jail without any hat or
coat. He had on a very dark gray fan
mel shirt, dark trousers and rubber boots.
There was blood on his face, which had
come from the cut made by ex-Mayor

some OF the blood also stained MS shirt.

[ know a woman who hath bounteous
share
OF this worlds wealth, and who is
young and gay,
With not a care save to bedech herself
In finest silks and satins every day.

On her commands the deftest servants

No sounds of childish compings vex her
When, to receive her friends, she sits

Bears her where'er she chooses that it
should;
And yet to neither friend nor kin gives
she
Aught to enhance their pleasure or
their good.
Moths may destroy, and want of sunshine
fade.
She parts with nothing from her hoard
ed store;
On poverty she looks with s~cornful gaze;
And ne'er to beggar is unbarred her
door.

And though not old, her brow is mark

Eight children cluster round her, and tbs
hard
To find them food to eat and clothes to

Sometimes the meal she serves is scant
indeed;
Always her hours of sleep and rest are
few;
She hath no help but little. willing hands
That, though love guides them, can
but little do.
And yet if poorer friend seek her, that
friend
With outstretched hand and bright
some smile is met.
While with the best the cottage can az

In kindly haste the humble board is

And from her door no beggar turns away
Without some help, if but a bit of

And eve1 homeless dogs about it throng
In simple rust that there they may be

NORTH CAROLINA MoRMONs.-
The party consisted of Mormon
converts from Cleveland county, N. G..
on route to Utah, under the leadership
of Elder Davidson who had persuaded
them to abandon their homes in the old
North State for the polygamous paradise
on the shores of Salt Lake. Two of the
men were middle aged, two were strlwart
young fellows, and the FIVE women ran
ged In age from nineteen to forty. All
of them were rather good-looking, well
dressed and apparently above the aver
age in intelligence.
But the Mormon leader, Elder David
son, attracted more attention than his
simple victims. The elder was a young
mar not over thirty, with "a handsome
face, keen, flashing eyes and a black mus
tache. He was well dressed and would.
have been presentable anywhere. Asthe
train rolled out with the deluded con-
verts and the impish guide, the bystand
ers gave expression to their views in
strong and not particularly choice lam
guage.-Atlanta Constitution.

Grass for Perennial Pastures.

To the Editor OF the LEADER:
FRANKLINToN, N. c., August 10
The many inquiries from Wyoming Ter
ritory in regard to a grass that would af-
ford perennial pastures, Withstand the
severest drouths as well as frequent in
mutations, is my excuse for offering the
subjoined. That there is a grass that will
come up to the above requirements, one
only has to try the Rdnicum Specialize of
Australia or the Sorghum Haldpense Of
Turkey, to be convinced. Its drouth and
food withstanding qualities arc found in
its ROOFS, which are white, tender, from
the size of a goose quill to that of ones
finger. frequently penetrating the earth to
the depth of a dozen feet after moisture,
and making from two to three thousand
bushels of excellent hog feed per acre.
The tops afford good grazing from early
Spring until late in the Fab, and may be
cut from every three to FIVE weeks-from
May until frost-yielding from one to
eight tons of good hay per acre at a cut
ting. When it once gets a foothold it is
at home, bidding defiance alike to flood
ing, freezing and long continued drouths.
1t is both the grazing and hay grass for
all parts of the United States in the near
future. J.. W. WALKER.

1t will be remembered that exclusive
mention was made in THE LEADER Sum
day morning of the assault a foot-pad
made upon a drunken man in IN alley
Saturday afternoon. From THE LEADERS,
account Of the affair the officers obtained
a good clue to the criminal, and Sunday
morning Officer Deitrick succeed
ed in running the fellow to cover. The
man has been with the chain gang upon a
previous occasion and is wanted for some
four or Eve days unexpired service which
he avoided by escaping from the gang.
He is suspected of making two or three
other hold-ups and will be held a few
days pending the completion of evidence
against him. He is the man who com
mitted the robbery Saturday beyond a
doubt, but for the sake Of his wife his
name is withheld for the present

Parties in a certain somewhat central
portion of the city yesterday witnessed
one Of those depraved cases of brutality,
which sometimes cause one to believe
that here and there exists a man in whom
the faint of savage ancestors has obliterat-
ed all of the finer feelings of civilized
people. 1t seems that the man who per-
petrated the brutality had called to a
child, presumably his own, who was play
ing in the street The child wus a little
fellow, not as tall as a walking stick, and
either was a little slow in answering the
summons or else did not here it at all. At
any rate, the man rushed into the street,
when the boy, seeing the approach of the
brutal fellow and doubtless aware of his
intent, threw himself on his kness and
crawled some distance to the big brute.
When the child had approached the man
fell upon him with a stick, beat it I'M
mercifully, and then s~eizing it by the
hair, dragged it into the house, where the
aagellation wal continued until the brute's
passion was satisfied, or until he was
weary with the labor. The parties who
witnessed the affair had started for an
officer when the sounds of the abuse
ceased, and 30 the matter was dropped.

From the North Platte Telegraph.
On account of the recent Texas fever
discoveries among Nebraska cattle, Messrs.
Cash & Iddings have been doing good
work disinfecting their stock yards east o.
the shops. They are having all the fenct
and corral whitewashed and about one
inch of lime spread all over the yards.
They have also purchased 500 pounds Of
chloride of lime, 200 pounds of copperas,
sixty gallons of carbolic acid and are APP
plying the same in and about the yards as
rapidly as fifteen extra men can handle it.
Mr.. Cash has had a great deal of expert
ence in handling cattle affected with
Texas fever in Buffalo, n. Y, and is now
applying his practical knowledge to pro-
tect the peoples cattle from catching the
fever at his yards. The firm certainly de-
serve great praise for the prompt manner
in which they look after the cattlemen's
interest, and all cattlemen can rest assured
that there is no danger of their cattle
catching any disease while being fed at
the North Platte yards. The work is
nearly completed and a person can smell
the carbolic acid and chloride of lime
twenty rods away from the yards.

Con ultIng About the Game Laws.

1t will be remembered hat when meas
ures were taken last year to attach the
Yellowstone Park to Montana, one of the
arguments used by those who were the
motive power in the scheme was, that the
game was not protected by this Territory.
The facts were exposed, the argument was
withdrawn and the Park, like the Ameri-
can flag, is still there" Governor Hale,
who is now visiting the Park, has CHANGED
to meet Governor Crosby of Montana,
and the two executive officers are discus
sing the game question as applying to
Wyoming anil Montana, AM other Grim
inal matters as the following dispatch,
Ie ,eived list night, will show:

The DeyIl,s Auction.

Saturday evening of the present week
the spectacular extravaganza of The Deu-
lis Auction will be presented at the Opera
House. The play is essentially a bal
let piece, its attractive vitality depending
upon an incidental display of excellent
ballet, beautiful scenery and quick trans
formation. The gorgeous scenery, the
wonderful mechanical effects and the
beautiful and bewitching ballet makes a
sensuous scene that is delightful in its
magnifcence. There is very little of plot
in The Derits Auction-there is no need
for plot when pretty faces with fine fig
ures in elegant apparel skip about in
Haunted Dells and Golden Palaces to
animated music. No theatre goer can
afford to miss The Devils Auction.
