Of Providence, r. l., then made an ex-
ceedingly interesting statement Of the
origin and progress Of the college,
which was designed as memorial Of
his wife. Mr.. Hartshorn has given
over t20, 600 already for this college,
but he very plainly intimated that he
stood ready to give still more to CON-
plete the buildings and enlarge the en-
dowment of the college.
He concluded by handing to DR..
Curry the deed Of the grounds and
buildings, which are all paid for, and
which he wanted used for God and for
humanity.
DR.. Curry, speaking for the Board
Of Trustees, responded in happy vein,
and said that the thanks were due NOT
TO the local pastors or Others who had
given this enterprise their sympsthies,
but from us to good Deacon Hartshora

ENTR AOEDINiRE.

This extraordinary passage occurs in
n letter of the Abbcvillc correspondent
Of the Columbia Register, in regard to
the rail road meeting of last Friday
night "Thcrc was Il strong disposition
'in the meeting to cas- the matter aside,
land go to work on some enterprise Of
''our own. But time for Charleston to
report was asked $@%A granted, and this
was all that was done" The matter to
be cast aside was the Carolina, Cumber-
.berland Gap and Chicago Railroad. Now
if any person will take the accounts Of
the remarks Of the different gentlemen
in the meeting, and say that they indica-
ted 81 strong disposition iii the meeting
to cast the matter aside" then that per-
son has Il curious idea Of strength of
sentiment. We would like to hear an
impartial analysis Of the speeches made
in the meeting by a disintrres:cd per
son., and hear his decision. Beyond
doubt there is Il strong anil respectable
advocacy OF tn" Vrr,lcry road. But the
action Of the meeting Of Friday nigh,
does not in our opinion, show thai
there was any such powerful disposition
in the meeting to "caSt aside" the Cum
bcrland Gap Road. Nor that time t,
hear from Charleston was ''yrnHtcI' as
Il special favor by those desiring to cas-
it aside. On the contrary, it seems t,
US this conservative and sensible policy
was the practically unanimous scnti
mcnt Of the meeting.

ue,,, so far MS we can lea, n.

The gist Of his argument is that very
religious men, are apt to be too severe
on the poor sinners who come before
them for punishment, and hence are not
impartial Judges. We do not know that
the occupants Of the Judicial Bench in
South Carolina are more or less relig-
ious than the same number of men en-
gagged in any other walk of life. The
possession of religion has not been the
sine ga non of any mans elevation to
the Judiciary. Nor do we know that
the lack of it has operated against such
elevation. But it is surely II queer idea
that its possession should operate
against the judicial advancement of its
poSScssor. The cccentriciticS Of action
of one Or two men on the Bench, are not
sufficient basis for an attack on the effect
and influence of religion. and we enter
our protest against such hcrctical doc
trincs.

A Card rOm the School Com mis-
SiOncr.

As the MESSENGER has furnished its read
ers with an extract from the N.~s and COur-
itr in which the editor of TINT paper makes n
just and true criticism upon tn, low monthly
salary Of teachers ct public free schouls in
AbbcvIllc County, ! think it just To the pres
ent County Board OF Examiners, as well rs
to the last Board, that I should make 4 state
mcnt.
The last School Commissioner ordered the
schools to be opened on the lSt of November,
1881. The present Board did not come into
office until the LIST Of January, 1885. If We
take therefore the length Of tho last school
term rs Il basis of calculation we will see that
the school of Abbcvillc County had been run
ming over one-third of the present school
year before we came into office. In view OF
this fact, and other circumstances we thought
1t best to let the pay of teachers for this
year remain the same as adopted 10y the last
Board.
1t is our opinion that The monthly pay of
teachers should be raised. There is there
fore, no 'bloody chnsm" between us and the

aud have been all the while, fully in accord
with the NeTs and Courier, on the subject of
the pay of tcachcrs, and the dignity and i'm
portance Of their vacation.
have been in II position to know the views
OF the last administration on the subject. AS
Far as ! knew they were unanimously in favor
of higher wages for teachers. They first
adopted these "starvation rates. with the
hope OF compelling the patrons of county
schools to pay by fees, Mt least az much as
they received from the public school fund.
On page 46 of the las. report of the State
Superintendent of Education, in the report
Of the last School Commissioners of Abbcvillc
County, is found the following sentence
which expresses the views of the last admin
istration: "The writer still advocates the
plan of reducing the teachers salaries, be-
tieving that there is no other way to extend
the term of the schools and induce the pa
irons to supplement-"
do not desire to say anything as to the
success or failure of the plan. My reason for
making this statement is to show to the pub
lie, that however corrupt Abbcville County
may be on some matters, her highest school
officers are not so ignorant, urgratcful and
h"osier.likc AZ not to appreciate the high call
ing of the teacher fully as much as the .Sa-
ruatsby the sea.
We believe that higher wages to the teach
crs, means better education to all the people ;
and better educatiou means "bcttcr invest.

Presentiments.

A preseniiment is an impression on the inint
that something is going to take place, anG
usually such is the case; perhaps we may say
without exaggeration that something always
does occur after y presentiment is formed; IL
I such we're not the fact, we cannot conjecture
what would become Of everybody. Just i'm
agine for moment that something did not
take place in such large world as this.
We are told OF young lady at Kinderhook
who was visited by an appsrition two years
ago, at dead hour of night, which announced
10 her in solemn accents that in two years she
would be the inhAbitant of another and bet
ter world; this circumstance had such de-
pressing influence on her mind that she pinned
away by degrees and did die at the close Of
the term named, and was buried few days
after.
An eminent Clergyman on parting from an
other in ST. Louis, said: 81 have a strong
presentiment that we shall never meet again"
and within few hours he persisted at the
Gaseonade on the Pacific Railway.
An almost iufallible cure for presentimeni,
however violent, is good cmetic or grub
bling hoe, with q few days bread and water
diet. For ourselves, we would omit the
emetic, as we do not patronize physic, ex-
cept by proxy. The reason we give medicine
Al All Is tuat people are always IN hurry,
not exactly to get well, but to get able to cat;
II they can only eat, nine out Of ten think they
arr getting along famously.
An eInetic will dissipate a presentiment in
five minutes, while the vigorous use of the
grubbing hoe in the open air would work off
the extra and thin blood
Who ever heard Of healthy, outdoor la
borer having ''prcsentimeut" in the pursuit
Of his occupation? The fact is, they have rot
time 10 be moping about such iomfooleries;
the only presentiment that ever troubles them
is vcritablo fact, tangible reality. "Root
pig, or die, is their ever living ghost.
Idleness and sluttony are the great orig
inators OF iIis unfortunate condition of mind,
and Its almost certain removal follows tem-
pcrate eating, combined with physical activity.
If unattended TO, and friendly death does not
step in TO save from greater calamity, in-
sanity winds up the history.
To the rejecting we suggest fact which
dissipates the mystery which hangs around
"presentiments." In ordinary cases thing
is not baptized as ''presentment" until the
Of the fact. Superstitious minds,
in which presentiments mostly dwell, take no
note Of the countless impressions, that certain
things might take place which did not after
ward take place; one such coincidence makes
an impression against million non-conour-
rcnts.-HdiFS Journal of Health

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Great Interest Taken m the Meetings
i'm Boston.


BOSTON, Oct. 14.-The second days ses-
sion of the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can board of commissioners of foreign
missions opened with very large attend
ance. The Rev. E. n. Alden, D. D., read
the report on the work of the home de-
partment, and the Rev. n. G. Clarke D.
D., senior foreign secretary, read a review
of the work of the past twenty-five years.
Secretary Smith read paper on The Fu-
ture Work of the American Board, and Dr.
Strong one on Missionary Literature at
Home and Abroad. Rev. Joseph A. Me-
sina of Japan presented letter addressed
to the American board by the pastors of
thirty-one native Congregational churches
in Japan, thanking the board for their gen.
erous efforts in their behalf. Gen. S. G.
Armstrong of Hampton, son of former
missionary, at the Sandwich Islands, pre-
sented the salutations of the children
of missionaries, and made a plea for
the endowment of the home for mission
aries children at Auburndale. At the af
ternoon session the attendance was so great
that fremont temple would not accommo-
date the people, and overflow meetings were
held in Music hall and the Park Street
church. The afternoon session at each was
spent in listening to addresses from repre-
SentatlVeS OF the various missionary OrSanl-
zations of the churches. the speakers going
from auditorium to auditorium and repeat
ing their remarks. In the evening four
audiences assembled. At fremont temple
Rev. DR.. D. S. Storis of Brooklyn gave an
address occupying two hours, on The
Promise for the Future, as Seen in the Pro-
gress of Christianity Within the Past Sew
enty-five Years. At Music hall addresses
were made by Rev. DR.. John 81. Barrows
of Chicago, Rev. DR.. A. J. F. Behrends of
Brooklyn, Rev. Joseph Cook and Rev. DR.
William M. Taylor. The two overflow
meetings held at the Park Street church
and Mt. Vernon church were addressed by
the returned missionaries and others. No
previous anniversary of the board has
called together so many of its corporate
members, and no such crowds have hereto
fore been seen at its meetings.

Trouble i'm British Burmah.

CALCUTTA, Oct. liking Thebaw of
Burmah has answered the communication
sent by the chief commissioner for British
Burmah, in accordance with instructions
from the Indian government with
reference to the dispute between the
Burmah government and the Bombay
and Burmah trading association The
king replied in an arrogant and insulting
manner to the note, and refused to discuss
the claim of the trading company with the
Indian government. An ultimatum has
been sent to King Thebaw ordering him to
reduce the claim against the Bombay trading
company; to remove the restrictions against
British traders, and to accept a British resi-
dent at Mandaly. Gunboats have been Or
dered to Rangeon to await orders to enforce
the governments demands by a demonstra-
ton at Mandaly. The troops are being
prepared for operations against Burmah.
A dispatch from Rangoon, the capital of
British Burmah, says that the Burmese
government is increasing its force on the
frontier and actively preparing to resist any
attempt the government of India may make
to force suspension of the recent decree
of cenfscation of the property of
the Bombay and Burmah Trading
company in default of the payment in
judgment for 1,05O, 600, alleged to be due
Burmese foresters as wages. The company
deny that they ever were in debt to the
workmen, and claim that they never were
allowed an opportunity of rebutting the
charge A majority of the men have signed
declaration that they have no claim on
the corporation.

Virginia Safely De lnocrasic
Special to the GLOBE.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-It seems to be
pretty evident now from all information
that can be had that the Republicans have
little hope of carrying Virginia. The pub
lshed report that Congressman Brady of
Virginia has been in Boston trying to raise
funds to struggle through with is probably
true. 1t is probably a fact, too, that he
got very little money or encouragement. 1t
has been gradually dawning upon everybody
who has watched the Virginia campaign for
some time past that there was little pros
pect of Republican success. Young John
Wise has made a gallant fight, and if the
Republicans had stood by the Readjusters
and pulled with them, they might have
carried the state. Your correspondent met
eX-Congressman Desendorf in the treasury
a day or two ago and asked him about the
prospects in Virginia. Desendorf is Re-
publican, but not Malone man, by any
means. Il think" he said, in answer to
your correspondents question. ''that the
Democrats will carry the state by 20, 600 or
80, 600 majority; perhaps more"
''lf you Republicans had pulled with the
Malone people you might have carried the
state this time. could you not?''
''Yes. thin k it likely we might" he an
swered.
Then why in the world didn't YOU do it
rather than defeat even Malone, and thus
throw the senate into the hands of your polit-
ical enemies?'
But Mr. Desendorf just then had busi-

to the Marine bank 1t also showed that
in 1884 the city transferred part Of it's de-
posits from the Importers and Traders, the
regular bank of deposit, to the Marine bank.
1t stated that the city had on deposit at the
time of the failure of the Marine bank of
81, 300, 600. Deputy Comptroller Stoves
stated to the committee that the deposits
were not made by the city chamberlain, but
by the heads of departments. The
witness did no know why Comptroller
Grant favored the Marine bank with
large deposits. Isaac Barrett, book
keeper in the comprollers office, testified
to having called the comptroller's attention
to the extraordinary balances with the Ma
rine bank. Mr.. Ward had asked to have
deposits in the Marine bank made as large
as possible at certain times, and on one oc-
caslon had written letter. The letter
from Ward was as follows:
May 3, 18S4.-Mr. Montgomery, Dear Sir:
had a talk with the comptroller about the
bank balance yesterday and he was perfectly
agreeable to anything the chamberlain did. I
am carrying some of the bonds / took yester-
day in the Marine bank, and / want you, if
possible, to put 100000 or 100000 in the
Marine to-day till Wednesday, as I have sold
on lot of bonds to be delivered on Wednes-
day. Let me know what you can do. Yours,
f. WARD, GRANT & WARD.
The handwriting of the letter indicated
great nervousness on the part of the
writer, which is not to be wondered at as
the Marine bank failed May 6. The COM
mittee adjourned till morning
