icREFRESHING.

An -HteUlesi'H presumably Mr.. G. w:
Penrose, writes to the Nel0S from London
under date of the 18th inst, and in his
letter hurls defiance at the Government
ina sort Of Pitt ostyle of 41never,a neverS

brings with. .it1the fresh salt sea air, the
air that SO. fnvigorates men and some
times makes them pirates. Then again
"Exile" is so far away that there is no
danger to him when he shouts for free
dom and liberty, and crys to his fellow
men to be firm. He says "let persecu-
tion,ra This seems to indicate that
the prosecuted are doing the rage busi-
ness, in England at least. What a sight
it would be if "EXile" could have his
way when he says: "Let hell yawn."
One would see about as many familiar
faces as Dante saw when he walked
through Inferno with Virgil. But accord
ing to the revised text of the Old Testa-
ment there is no hell but only sort of
shady place where clear crystal stream
lets flow and sweet birds sing, and it is
called sheol. exile" lashes himself to a
very fury, and it is hard to see how
man who is SO far away from the fire and
fray can become so engulfed in rage. He
says:
''Let priest-ridden judges void their venom
and pronounce their penalties; let fetters be
forged and prison cells be dug deep; let SEN
tence succeed sentence; let the world hate
and harass and kill; but let not a Son of
God, anointed and sealed with the spirit of
promise forsake any wife that has been
given to him of the Lord or yield one prin-
ciple of that holy religion which should be
dearer to him than life, for judges, juries,
the nation or a universe
This has additional strength and force
from the fact that exile" is not here to
enjoy any of the above blessings. 1t is
the exhortation of man who feels that
no harm can come to him and who tells
others that no harm can come to them, at
least no harm when they consider the great
reward which is awaiting the faithful.
This is very good precept, but it lacks
the most important element OF Christian
precept-example. In that sacred Ser
mon on the Mount it was said: "By
their fruits shall We know them;' and
what are the fruits in this case? A
man avoiding the consequences of
his own acts, and from a place of
security admonishing his co-religionists
to remain staadfast. No man can be
blamed for seeking security for his per-
son, no matter what his offense may have
been, but his advice loses much weight
when he has not remained among his CO.
religionists to suffer with them, if they
are suffering. But it is very refreshing
to hear a TRADE against persecution in
Utah from one in England, and who is
not within the jurisdiction of the perse-
cutors' country.

How q Kentucky Editor Larrups the
Southern Baptist C0nyentiOns

Two ladies applied to the Southern
Baptist Convention, now in session at
Augusta, Ga, for admission as lady dele.

that the day has not arrived for that.
When will it arrive? Women support
themselves in every branch of industry.

younger children have; they are mer

girls; they support themselves, their
children, and many, many times, their
drunken, worthless husbands. They are
the steadfast, earnest friends and sup
porters of the church; its strongest pill.
lars, its most beautiful columns. They
were first at the Cross and last at the
Grave. Will the Southern Baptist Con-
vention tell US when our mothers, our
wives, our sisters, our daughters, will
hare reached that sublimated state which
will justify their admission into the
councils of an institution which they
have done more, and are doing more, to
sustain than all the other human beings

know when this premillennial movement
in behalf of woman is to begin.-Louis-

Workman's Automatic Press.

This press, casually mentioned some
time ago in this column, is certainly an
ingenious coutriyance, and deserves fur
ther notice. 1t is entirely new in every
particular, and something novel in the
way of press, the work being done by
means of rollers. 1t is automatic, as the
name indicates. 1t feeds from the throat
of the gin, puts on and fastens the bag
ging and ties, and elects the bale without
the cotton being handled after passing
into the gin. Immediately after the bale
has been thrown out, it readjusts itself,
and, without minute Of lost time, goes
on packing the next bale. The machin'
cry is exceedingly simple and easily
adjusted. While the weight is much less
than the ordinary cotton press, it is made
with an eye to strength and endurance
That it occupies a little less than one
half the space usually taken up by press.
es, is another advantageous point about
it. With all OF these advantages the cost
will not be more than any frst.class press
upon the market. The capacity is equal
to the capacity of any gin, aud could be
made to excel even this. Mr.. Workman
is native of Laurens County, and
claims, and not without grounds, that be

of the telephone. We hope for MIR.

~
We hare long doubted the propriety
of allowing children to read newspapers
promiscuously and recklessly. Every
family ought to have good Christian
journal and at least one or two we'll
selected secular papers. Nowadays,
many secular papers are wholly unfit to
occupy a place in q decent family. In
deed, it is difficult to get a paper that
contains nothing Objectionable in some
respect. The editors readers are COM
posed of all sorts Of people. The minds
of men thirst for the detailed account of
horrible crimes and just such stuff as will
distract the mind and corrupt the heart
of innocent youth. Let every thought
full parent see that his children get as
little as possible of such reading matter,
and when their eyes do happen to fall
upon something Objectionable in itself,
let the parent try to draw from it some
good lesson. that will at least balance or
restrain its distracting influences.

Not an Adamlcss Eden.

Three uptown married men made up
their minds quietly without telling their
wives, Saturday night, that they would
90 to the "Adamless Eden" show. The
women got an inkling of their intention,
and made up their minds to keep their
husbands home. One of them arranged
for little tea party. They all went to
the tea party, the men whispering to
each other that when they went out to
smoke at half.pest I they would walk
over to Music Hall. They reckoned
without their wives, however, for when
they started to leave the house they could
find neither hats, canes nor overcoats.
The wives had hidden them away,
When they went back to the parlors,
they kept very quiet about it, and when
finally the women were unable to conceal
their mirtl, they had the etfrontery to
say that they hadn't the slig htest idea OF
leaving the hogse,-Kingsto" ~ D.

Divorces of the World.

Tie following particulars as to the
methods of securing divorces in different
countries are interesting:
SIAltEsE.3The first wife may be
divorced, not sold, as the others may be.
She then may claim the first, third and
fifth child, and the alternate children are
yielded to the husband.
ARCTIC REGION. When man desires
"a divorce he leaves the house in anger
and does u,.t return for several days.
The wife understands the hint, packs her
clothes, and leaves.
TARTARs.--The husband may put away
his partner and seek another when it
pleases him, and the wife may do the
same. Ifshebe ill-treated she complains
to the magistrate, who, attended by the
principal people, accompanies her to the
house and pronounces formal divorce.
CHINEsE-Diyorces are allowed in all
cases of crinlinality, mutual dislikes,
jealousy, incompatibility of temper, or
too much loquacity on the part OF the
wife. The husband cannot sell his wife
until she leaves him and becomes slave
to him by action of the law for desertion.
A son is bound 20 divorce his wife If she
displeases his parents.
JEWs.-In ol6en times the Jews had a
discretionary power of divorcing their
wives.
JApANs.-If the wife be dissatisfied
she caa obtain divorce by paying a
certain sum.
TH1BErANs.-Divorces are seldom
allowed, unless with the consent of both
parties, neither of whom can afterwards
re.marry.
MooRs.-If the wife does not become
a mother of boy, she may be divorced
with the consent of the tribe, and she
can m-.ry again.
ABYssINIANs.-No form of marriage
is necessary. The connection may be
dissolved and renewed as often as the
parties think proper.
SIBERIANs.-It the man be dissatisfied
with the most trihing acts of his wife, ne
tears her cap or veil from her head, and
this constitutes divorce.
CoREANs.-The husband can divorce
his wife, and leave her the charge OF
maintaining the children if she proves
unfaithful be can put her to death.
DRUsE AND TURKoMAN-Among these
people, if wife asks her husbands
permission to go out and if he says "go,'
without adding "but come back again,
she is divorced. Though both parties
desire it they cannot live together with
out being remarked.
COCHIN .CHINEsE.-If the parties
choose to separate, they break a pair ol
chop-sticks or copper coin in the pres
ence of witnesses, by which action the
union is dissolved. The husband must
restore to the wife the property belonging
to her prior to her marriage.
AMERICAS IND1ANs-Among some
tribes the pieces of sticks given to the
witnesses of the marriage are burnt as
sign of divorce. Usually new connec'
tions are formed without the old ones
being dissolved. A man never divorces
his wife if she has borne him sons

COUNTY NORMAL.

Some of our teachers can attend the
State Normal, but many of them cannot.
For the benefit of those who cannot, we
propose to have some time during the
Summer County Normal. The State
provides for it and the Superintendent of
Education urges the School Commits
sioners to organize Normal Schools in
their respective Counties. We propose
to make the effort, and feel confident
that much good can be accomplished if
we can engage the services Of competent
teachers.

THE NEW pRoNouN.

I notice that some of the correspon
dents of the Constitution are reaching ou
after new pronoun, one of the common
gender and singular number. Professor
Dozier suggests Sc, sis, sim for the singu
lar number of such pronoun another
writer hae and hahn.
1 strongly suspect we already have
such pronoun and have had it In daily
use for ages, one, too, that is far pretera'
BILE to those suggested. True it has moi
yet gotten into the grammars and die
|tionaries, but our grammarians and die,
tionary- makers are very conservative and
often positively stupid.
Some years ago a little girl said to me
ssome body's come"
"Who is it?" said l.; "man or wo'
MANI"
"I amt agoing to tell you who it is;
they come awhile ago. - -a-
. Now this young lady did not hesitate
to use "they" for the singular number
and common or indefinite gender. Il
there was anything outre or grotesque in
her usage of the word, I did not feel it.
The Professor would have said ''se came
awhile ago." This sc would be easily
mistaken for she, and would, if for nc
other reason, be very Objectionable on
that account. If any one will keep their
ears open, they will find this use .ol
"they" in daily practice among the peo-
pie.
It has crept into literature, also, and it's
use is so natural to the genius of our
language that hardly one in hundred
has noticed itas an intrusion. Mr.. Pick.
wick once got lost in a hotel and entered
another room than his own and was un.
dressing behind the bed curtains. To
Mr.. Pickwick's horror, some person en-.
tered the room. Mr.. Dickens, the writer,
does not wish the reader to know whether
the person entering is q man or woman.
That point is the climax:of. the story,
and must be reserved to the last. So
Mr.. Dickens says that the person had
come in SO suddenly that Mr. Pickwick
chad no time to oppose their entrance" ("
After various maneuvers Pickwick got
sight of.the person, and it was an old
maid Richard Grant Write says we
need no such pronoun, but nine-tenths
Of the enjoyment of the above story
would be lost if cher" had been used in
the place of. "their" 10 designate the
person. Years ago persons wrote to Mr..
white suggesting this use of they"
We find it in actual use in both England
and America. And I think we may as
we'll admit itiato the grammars.
Our pronouas "they, them and their"
are from the Anglo Saxon demonstratiye.
The forms from which "theif" and
'them" corle are both found in the
singular as vel las in the plural aud in
the Northumbrian dialect, the nomina.
tive singular was "the'' pronounced just
as .theyn is now. The old Saxon was
"thie" in the singular. We have in
English the article "the" in the singular,
which is derived from the same word as
"they." And l rather suspect that the
people have for ages used "they" in the
singular whenever they had to have a
pronoun of the common gender and sing
ular number. Ihave so used it twice in
this article, and / doubt whether one in
ten has noticed it. 1t is so natural that
L predict it can never be supplemented
BY any artificial production.-C. K.

How tho World Digs.

In northern Mexico crooked stick,
drawn by oxen or mule, scratches the
ground q little as preparatory move
before planting or sowing. Hoes are
heavy, awkward tools. Reaping is done
with sickles, and thrashing by treading
out.
In Manzauillo not single farmer
nanures his fields. With simple iron
pointed stick they bore the holes in the
ground and the seed'corn is cast in. In
few days the young seed shoots up, and
with it innumerable weeds, which are
removed by hand. Farmers complain
that American plows are too heavy to
lift. They prefer oxen, because horses
make them walk too fast.
The ak, the hoe and the plow consti'
tute the agricultural implements in Cen
trail America, and especially in Honduras.
These are mostly of English or German
make, being cheaper than those manu-
factured in America.
The most of the cultivation on farms
in Brazil, and especially where there Is
slave labor, is with the hoe, an imple'
ment weighing from two to five pounds
each. and mostly imported from Eng
land, in barrels, ten dozen to barrel.
One firm in Rio de Janeiro imports L.
500 barrels year from England, and the
same firm estimate that 100000 hoes are
imported and disposed of annually in
Brazil.
An American merchant in Japan says
he has tried to sell nearly every descrlp.
tion of American implements, but with
out success. Now he has stock in his
warehouse which has been on hand for
fifteen years. Farm labor is so cheap
that tits practically impossible to under
bid it with labor.saving machinery.
Male field hands work twelve hours a
day, have five holidays in each month
and receive their food, lodgings, and
wages ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per
wear, Female laborers work the same
hours. are not entitled to holidays, and
receive. beside their food and lodging,
about Sc per annum.
In China even an apology for shovel
is seldom 10 be met with, while the hoe
is a long narrow and heavy blade used
for almost all purposes. The plow is a
rough and clumsy affair, with only one

Threshing is performed as in the time OF
Moses, by spreading the sheaves on an

The African farmers are Dutchmen or or
