Mourning for Mayfield.

GREENvILLE, December IA O n
v%ention Of the policy-holders Of the
Atlantic division Of the Mutual Self
Endowment and Benevolent Association
Of America has been in session all to-
day in this city, Mr.. John o. Peoples, of
N~ewberry, presiding. The convention
was called to order by the Rev. w. d.
Mayield, in consequences of the nntional
or home association. with headquarters
at Fort Worth. Texas. The Atlantic
division has issued since it's organiza-
ton on December "a, 1884, twenty
eight hundred and fortv-four policies
a%gsregating about $18,O COO insurance.
DUNG its existence it has received and
out by its officers here something over
$4,000. The division withdrew from
the home association on November 27
last, just ten days previous to the failure
OF the association, and SO: up as an in
dependent association.
The stated object Of to-days v
ton was to decide upon going on with
it's business as an independent ~organiza-
ton, but the proceedings have develop
ed SO tangled a condition Of it's affairs
that continuance is deemed impossible.
Some crooked looking facts have tran
spired. A committee appointed to ex-
anime the legal status Of affairs ascer-
tanned that the withdrawal from the
home association was illegal and in
open violation Of the constitution, be.
sides without the consent Of the mem
bers ; that the assets Of the divisions
are liable for the debts Of the ass ociation
and that q mandamus could compel the
assessment of money to pay those debts.
This astonishing information struck con-
sternation upon the unposted members
and there was talk Of an immediate dis
solution. The report of the president,
and that of the secretary and treasured
show that the division is carrying $l8J
oOO.OO insurance !; that it has ontstand
ing coupon claims amounting
$l.7O0,OOO that fall due between
and 1889: that the treasury contains +

Imperial Ceremonies in Russia.

Imperial Ceremonies In Russia
Mr.. George Augustus Sala, one of the
best. known Of English Journalists, has
been lecturing this winter In OUT
American cities. We copy from an q:
change . passage Of the pleasant gossip
with which he entertained his hearers,
relating to two visits made By him to
the Russian capitals. In 1857 he went
to st. Petersburg, where preparations
for the coronation at Moscow Of
Alexander III. were in progress, q part
of them being the daily drilling Of ono
hundred and twenty thousand troops of
nearly every nation and tribe under
Russian sway.
In 1881 no WIS again in tue Russian
metropolis at the funeral Of Alexander
H., his instructions to attend; he said;
being worded thus: Will you be 90
good as to write leading article on the
price of fish-and 60 to st. Petersburg
by the night express:
II don't think, I" he went ON, II ever
saw . face more expressive Of horror
and terror and uneasy dread of that
which was to come than was presented
dy the new Emperor. Even while they
were going through the stately num-
meries of investing him with the Order
Of the Garter it presented to my mind
the aspect of condemned criminal up
on whom they were putting fetters."
But there is q brighter side to this pic
turc-the coronation ct Moscow in 1883.
Mr.. Sala stated that as he was obliged
in order to attend to appear in uniform,
he donned that costume in which be
would have been presented at the En-
glish court, had he sought that honor;
he WAS given q very humble position.
But his private secretary, who held
Q civic Office in London, and beside
whose costume that of Solomon in all
his glory was Small potatoes" was
placed between the Khan of Khiva and
the Emir Of Bokhara, and was permit.
ted to leave the cathedral at his pleas
ure. Thus Mr.. Sals was able to get
the start by two hours of his COMPETE
tors, and send to the London Telegraph
q telegram Of seven and one-half COL
umnS.

Love Apples" and Long Liz.

Fifty years ago tomatoes wers sold
under the name 81 aiovs apples" as 4
vegetable curiosity: They were used
for ornamenting msntlcpieces, and CO
casionally one was given to child Il
play with, on condition that he would
not bite into it, as it was thought to be
poisonous. The first person in New.
port to eat the tomato was an Indian
painter, named Corne.
"There, " he used to say to those who
expressed their surprise Ut his eating
the suspected vegetable, "is that potato
He grow in de dark, or in dc damp eel.
lar, with his pale, lank roots. He has
no flavor; he live under ground. But
de tomato, he grow in de sunshine; he
has de fine rosy color. and exquisite
flavor; he is wholesome; and when he
is put in de soup you relish him, and
leave nothing in de plate"
The author Of "reminiscences of New.
port" has preserved several anecdotes
of this Indian, who introduced the to.
mato to Newport tables. One of them
illustrates the fact that "life tables" are
based on the average duration of life,
and that some persons, like Sir Moses
Montefore, apparently set the ordinary
laws of longevity at defiance.
In his seventy third year Corne waa
persuaded to buy On annuity. The
Massachusetts, Hospital Life Insurance
Company, on his payment of one thous.
and five hundred and seventy dollars,
agreed to pay him one hundred dollars
every six months during life. The old
man lived fifteen years to enjoy his an
nuity. He received in all three thous-
and dollars, much to the surprise and
loss Of the company. As the cashier
was called upon year after gear, to make
payments to this persistent .nnuitant,
it seemed as if the company had caught
q Metlluselah.
With laugh that almost choked him,
the old Indian used to say, - he receiv-
ed his semi-annual Check
de Precedent he say he very glad
ESQ we'll, but I know he lie all de time.
He no know how much macarcni, how
much oil how much tomato I eat. Ny
