crimes are in a state of the widest alarm
over the depredatiGns and OutrageS that are

dtrOus negroes, eighty-three in number.
They came up from Virginia few weeks
ago and are encalnped in the mountains in
that vicinity, spreading terror throughout
the whole community. Since they
have arrived they have been conf
hitting all sorts of crimes
in bold defiance of the officers Of the law.
So terrified are the inhabitants that they
will not venture from the doors without be-
ing heavily armed, and even the farmers go
well armed in the fields. The women fear
TO leave their homes without ample male
protection while all social intercourse has
been practically suspended. Sunday even

No preacher need preach to empty
pews these days. Let him just pro-
claim from his pulpit that the most of
the Bible is a fable, and that those pas
sages which aren't fables don't mean
what the wiseSt and best men in the
past nineteen centuries have agreed
that they do mean, and that there isn't
any hell, or if there is one it isn't very
hot. and all those people who have the
most to gain by such being the case
will flock to hear him, his sermons will
be published in the newspapers, and he
will gain a notoriety which the plain
preaching of the Word could never be-
stow upon him.-PtttSburgh (Pa.) Com

The President WOULD Very Much Like to
Visit st. Louis and Kansas City.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-Colonel Col
man and Colonel SwitZler called upon the
President yesterday, and told him that he
was expected to attend both the St Louis
and Kansas City Fairs this fall. They gave
him graphic description of the great an
nual show and gathering in the Mississippi
Valley, and stated that the people were not
willing to take negative answer to the in
yitatiOn. The President thought he would
like to see the ST. Louis and Kansas City
fairs very much. II will bear the date in
mind" he said, but expect
that there will be so much
public business demanding attention when |

Mr.. Cleveland repeated to the Missourians
what he has said many times to visitors
since he came TO live in the White House,
that he greatly desires and intends to make
a tour of the West. He was, however,
rather more specific than he has been here
tOfore, and talked as if he had dimy out
lined plan i'm his own mind to take the
second summer or fall of his administration
for this trip. 1t is probable that the fair in
yitation year hence will be oppOrtune.

He,uless Upou a Friendless Sea.

Who, in taking passage in great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feel thrill OF
exultation over her magnificent power.
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor, nor
stop her onward course.
But let me describe a scene when, one
morning in mid-ocean, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed by q
cry: "The ships rudder is lostw From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy of wind and wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings of the rudder were allowed &c
wear weak, aud suddenly it had dropped
deep into the sea!
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
energy and in ambition, man confronts,
undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements
But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder of his constitution is gone. He
has been careless of its preservation; men,
tai strain, nervous excitement, irregular
habits, over work, have destroyed the ac-
ton of his kidneys and liver. This would
not occur were Warmers safe cure used &c
maintain vigOr. And even now it may re-
store vitality to those organs and give
back to the man that which will lead him
to the haven of his ambition.-Ihe IrGreler.

The Painter Rigaud.

Among many other peculiarities, the
celebrated Rigaud disliked painting the
portraits of ladies of the court. If, y
he said, Il represent them as they
really are they Immediately accuse me
of not making them sufficiently good
looking; if, on the contrary, | fiatter
them, the resemblance inevitably
suffers" On one occasion he had con-
scented, much against his will, to break
through his rule in favor of certain
Countess. who persisted in disiiguring
her otherwise handsome features by an
immoderate application of rouge. In
the course of the second or third sitting
his model complained that the colors
used by the painter were not brilliant
enough for complexion like hers, and
asked him where he bought them.
Madame" replied Rigaud, IF l do
not mistake, they come from the same
shop where You are in the habit of pur-
chasing your own. "-LondOn Times.

A
Thence Was Punished.
Forty-one years ago John Smith was
the driver and chief proprietor of q
line of coaches running to the White

Smith the first or the one thousandth

but one eye, and that he was keen and

numerous questions concerning differ

Johns patience was exhausted, aud.
in answer to one question. he tartly
answered.: Stranger. if YOU will at

As might be readily imagined there
was a quiet time after that. After a
drive of few m les John drove up to
a country store and postoflice. where
the mail bag was thrown of. While
the mail was being chapged Mr.. SIN tn

The Morning Dress.

It is said that a lady's standing in socie-
ty can easily be determined by her dress
at the breakfast-table; an expensive,
snowy costume indicating that the wearer
has not yet learned the proprieties. But
no one need be afraid of being called
" shoddy" if her loneliness is as apparent
