A YOUNG PREACHER.
The Five-Year Old Boy Who Delivers
Sermons.

While In Adairsville recently / saw
something that struck rue as very un-
usual and strange. Quite party Of
gentlemen we're sitting around the
stove in Bibb & Elrod's store, when a
little boy about S years old entered. He
was a quiet-looking little fellow and
there was a peculiar expression on his
face. "Cant you preach for us,
Claude-% asked one of the party. 1t
seemed that he was used to that, and
without any hesitation he placed a
chair for pulpit, took two little books
that were handed him and pulled off
his hat for business. Before saying a
word he knelt by his chair in secret
prayer for moment He then arose,
and after looking carefully through
one of the little books he announced
the number of his hymn, gave it out in
language that was lisping and hard to
understand, and then sang il through
all alone. He then knelt again by his
chair and prayed, this time aloud, but
in words that no one could understand
He took text from one OF his books,
and for eight or ten minutes he
preached with much earnestness and
spirit. The little audience was pro-
foundly quiet and not a smile fitted
over any face.
To me it was peculiarly solemn
scene. There was strange light in the
little fellows eyes and peculiar glow
on his face as he preached. He was
scarcely as high as the chair behind
which he stood, and yet he was COM
posed and easy in bis manners. I sat
there watching him and wondering
what mysterious power was moving
him. His child voice rang out in way
that stilled the crowd of loafers into a
solemn and almost painful silence.
We could not catch the meaning of his
baby words that were so broken and
lisping, but we could see the flash of his
black eyes and feel the power Of his
presence. When his sermon was done
he sang song, took up collection IRE
ceipts IS cents), announced service for
the evening, and went out as quietly as
he came. / learned that the scene was
no uncommon one, and that he some
times moved his audience to tears

A Belated Confederate.

The romantic side of the late war is
just beginning to show itself, Every
day some little scrap of history comes
to light, rivalling in dramatic interest
anything to be found in the pages of
Scott, Dumas or Cooper.
Shortly after the Confederates began
their struggle for independence, Winship
Upchurch, of Chatham county, N. c.,
joined volunteer company and went
to the front. He made good soldier,
and fought on until the last year Of the
conflict The Federals captured him in
one of the bloody battles in Virginia,
and he was sent to one of the prisons
in the Northwest AT the close of the
war he was discharged. He was with
out money and had heard nothing
from home in many months. His rela-
tives, he knew, had goodreasontobelieye
him dead Despondent and proverty
stricken, the poor fellow drifted about
from placetop place wherever he couldob-
tain work. His wanderings carried him
all the time westward, and when he
found himself in San Francisco, he
yielded to temptation to visit the
Sandwich Islands.
The voluntary exile intended some
day to return home, but many things
interfered. He also intended to write
and notify his people of his where
abouts, but from time to time he de-
layed. Almost before he knew it

PATAGONIA.
"A Country Swallowed mp by Chile
and the Argentine Confederation.

Patagonia, country in South
America familiar to every student of
geography and ethnology, has been
obllterated from the map A year or
two ago both the Argentine Confeder-
alton and Chile began to make aggres-
sive movements to the southwark.
The forces of the two Republics came
in contact, and there was at one time
imminent danger Of war. Some COLI
sion did actually occur, and only the
greatest forbearance on the part of
two Governments prevented the out
break Of hostillities between them.
They at length came together and
agreed to peaceful division of the
country which each had manifested a
desire to monopolize Chile seems to
have the best of the bargain, as she has
taken all OF the western coast of Pata-
gonia to the extreme southern point of
the Continent, including the Strait Of
Magellan, the island group called Terra
del Fuego, and all the islands on the
Pacific Coast. The Argentine Confed-
Grafton has the balance of the country
from the eastern of the Andes to the
Atlantic. The islands on the western
coast, which fall to the possession of
Chile, are said to contain valuable
mines Of coal and metals. The sections
which are occupied by the Argentine
Government consist of broad elevated
pampas, of which vast herds of cattle,
sheep and horses Craze, and which are
regarded as very valuable. Chile, by
occupying advantageous points in the
Strait of Magellan, can also command
entirely the commerce between the
Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, or
drive it beyond and around Cape
Horn. This material modification of
territorial divisions in South America is
one Of the most sweeping revolutions
that has recently occurred in the geo.
graphy ofthe world, and, at the same
time, the quietest. --Panama Star and

twenty years fitted by. A few weeks
ago he felt an uncomfortable desire to
see the old North State again. He
arranged his business, packed his trunk
and started on his long journey. Last
week he turned up in Chatham county
with the announcement that he had
come to pay short visit to his old
friends.
1t is easy to imagine the astonish-
ment created by the re-appearance of
| the belated Confederate. The intelli-
gence of his return spread like wildfire,
and hundreds of farmers, who we're
total strangers to him, rode many miles
to interview him. The Sandwich
Islander will be the lion of the hour,
and a nine-days wonder Unfortunately
for the symmetrical rounding off of the
story, the adventurous soldier does moi
propose to settle down in his old home
He has prospered among his heather
friends and will go back to spend hi:
days among them. Perhaps all the
points in the story have not been made
public. There may be woman in the
case. Upchurch may have been drawr
to North Carolina by a sneakint
desire to again look upon the face o
the girl he left behind him when hi
went to the tented field. He ma,

REGEN fRATION.

The fact is we'll established that the
more one sleeps the more one wants to
sleep; it is an appetite that grows with
what it feeds on. In like manner the
less one does the less one cares to do,
and perhaps the most natural thing in
the world for man, who has begun
to succumb to the climatic influence,
who is surrounded by indolent or
luxurious companions, who has few
opportunities for the exercise of his
physical and mental faculties, who is, in
short, retrograding, isto hastenthe inevi-
table end and lie dormant the rest of
his days
There are few who will deny that
the climate of Hawaii, attractive as it
is, hides in its apparently guileless
beauty an element which is dcmoral-
izing. 1t is as dangerous as seductive
1t can---and does in some cases
poison with its smiles If the youth,
fresh from the bracing breezes of less
favored climes, chafes at first under the
placid monotony Of our Island life, he
anon finds that 1t is not so difficult to
do as the Hawaiians do, and that is
to take things easy and let somebody
else do the worrying
That Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" is amply exemplified in
the uneventful routine into which we
have, every one Of us, naturally and
easily fallen. There is, there must be,
a preventive and an antidote for this
unfortunate tendency and its very seri-
GUS consequences; there must be life
which, if faithfully and conscientiously
lived, will keep the brain fresh and
active, the body vigorous and young
1t was so in the old days before the
Hawaiians had thrown aside their
national customs and only partially
adopted those which were alien, and
few of which seem we'll suited to their
temperament or their physique. The
heroic games which we're their glory;
the athletic sports which bred in them
a love of strength and grace, and
brought them nigh to physical perfcc-
tion, have unhappily been. discounte-
nanced, and the national decade zee
has been SO rapid as TO threaten the
extinction Of the race.
Very little lasting good can be ac-
complished for the Hawaians until
there is better material to work upon
they must be aroused from their leth-
argy, and this can only be achieved
through the old channels. Let them
revive their ancient sports; let them be

LATE FOREIGN NEWS
England, France and Burman.


The Paris correspondent Of the
Standard communicates, "upon the
most unquestionable authority" an
account of the correspondence which
there has been between Lord Sails
bury and the French Government on
the subject of French interference in
Upper Burmah and the aggressive
| action OF the French Consul at Manda-
lay. In calling the attention OF M. de
Freycinet to this question, we are told
that "Lord Salisbury pointed out the
interests Of England were, and must
remain, paramount in Burmah; that we
could no more tolerate the establish
ment of French commercial company,
aiming at exclusive treaties with the
King, that France would tolerate an
English commercial company with
similar pretentions in Tunis. Lord
Salisbury, of course, explained that
he was far from assuming that the
French Foreign Office would sanction
any such schemes; but he felt it neces-
sary to state in explicit language that if
any proposals of the sort were made, or
attempted to be made, to the King,
the British Government would feel
compelled to interfere, and to intimate
to the King that no such concession
must be granted; that no French or
foreign commercial company could be
permitted to invite contracts for the
making of railways in Burmah, and, in
short, that we could not permit the
activity Of the agents Of any other
power in that neighborhood." ."--4ncs-
