English immortality.

LONDON, June 27.-The Rev. Mr..
Spurgeon has produced profound SEN
sation by an article over his signature in
to. days Monthly ReuieaO, in which the
great preacher narrates in detail the
story of the death last year of Justice
Williams in brothel and the disclosures
brought out in the recent Jeffries case.
He makes these examples from high
official life the basis of ull.favored
denuuciation of English immortality and
he says: :.
"Sodom in its most putrid days could
scarce exceed London for vice. To our
infinite disgust and horror the names OF
the greatest in the land are openly men
toned in connection with tho flLhiest
debauchery and the most bideous evil
that drags in the wake of vice. These
things are alleged to bethe chosen luxury
of certain hereditary Legislators and
rulers in England. Woe unto thee
England, when thy great ones love har'
lots Deep is our shame when we know
that our Judges are not clean and that
aocial purity is put to the blush by mag
istrates of no mean degree; yea, that
courts of justice lend themselves to coy
ering up and hushing up iniqnities.
Shall not God be driven out by such a
nation as this? What is coming over US !
What clouds are darkening our skies?"

a Cripple Restored.

Some two years ago ! receive, received I1ol, boy
(Lona While) into the Orphans Home,
near Macon. from Columbus. lie was
one of the poorest creatures I have ever
seen-nothing but skin and bone-crip'
pled and deicrmed by Scrofula, Which
had attended him from his birth. ABOUT
eighteen months ago commenced giving
him Swift's Specific. After several bottles
had been takon and no visible results to
be seen, I began to despair, but continued
the medicine. At last signs OF improve.
nent became apparent, and from that
date TO the present thcro has been con,
slant improvement in both body and
mind. He is now about fourteen years
old, and is ono of the brightest boys l
have ever known. I honestly believe
that he will ultimately outgrow the effects
of this loathsome disease under the lnill-
ence of SwilCs Specific.

body knows what became Of the following
petition, which was sent to our Represen-
tatiyes in the General Assembly at its
last sitting:
To TIE Honorable Legislators and Sena-
tors Of South Carolina in Legislature assent.
6led:; As intemperance is an evil, and a
bane to our happiness, therefore, ne, the
citizens of Abbeville County, present to
you this our memorial, and earnestly pc.
tition that the sale Of all Intoxicating
Liquors be prohibited in Abbeville
County, as soon as majority of the
citizens shall express their approval OF
said Prohibition in an election, which
you will please order Immediately for
that purpose.
That petition was signed, we believe,
by majority of the citizens whose votes
gave our Legislators their honors, and we
further believe that these petitioners
represented majority Of the intelligence,
virtue, respectability and property Of
Abbeville County. This being true we
see no good reason why our honorable
Senators and Representatives should not
have given their petitioners respectful
hearing, or in case they could not do
this, We see no good reason to prevent
our Legislators from telling their constit-
uents why their request was treated with
contempt. To send this petition was the
mere right of the people, which is vouch-
safed in the organic law of the State,
which assures US that the right of peti-
ton "shall never be abridged" Then
why did our Legislators refuse consider,
alton of the petition of their constituents
That the just censure may attend the
true event, We think it nothing but just
and right for the people to know exactly
where the fault lies.
Was there mutual agreement among
the Anderson and Abbeville delegates to
cousigh the petitions of the temperance
people to the waste basket ? If not.
how is it that they went to-nobody
knows where.
