The Rev. Sam. Jones says the Kentucky
Methodists run their camp meetings on
business principles. Private corporations
or stock companies own the camp
grounds and they rent the tents, fruit,
and lemonade stands and bOarding-house
privileges, and charge 25c. for admission
10 the grounds. The brethren who run
the High Bridge camp ground took in
$1,000 some days, il is said, in addition to
rents, ETC., and yet claim that they lost
money. There is a belief that at least
one sermon during the meeting ought 10
have been preached from the story Of An
nanias aud Sapphira. A sinner who can't
raise 30. to pay his entrance fee need not
search for the golden gates at a Kentucky
camp meeting, which, 10y the way, appears
to have many OF the features of Ken
lucky horse show.

The people OF Jackson and DeKalb
counties, Ala, are considerably agitated
over the report that the Mormous propose
10 settle 300 fresh European converts In
that part OF the State. 1t is said that
Mormon agents are now attempting to
buy land for the proposed colony, The
probability is that when the agents ascer-
tain the real sentiments Of the people on
the subject, they will decide not 10 invest
in that part Of the Union. Mormon colo
nists would probably not meet with very
hospitable reception there.

The dispatches a day or two ago stated
that Pedro Prestan, one Of the leaders Of
the rebellion in Panama. had been cap
tured by the government troops. 1t is
said that he is about half Spanish and
half negro, and is about 30 years of age.
He is a tall man, with a long face and a
nigh forehead. He is reputed 10 be the
ablest lawyer on the isthmus, but he is a
man Of violent and ungovernable temper
Some time ago it is SAID he argued case
at Panama and the Judge decided against
him, which so enraged Prestan that he
walked up to the bench aud slapped the
Judge in the face, and, his anger still not
being appeased, he deliberately shot him.
lie is the sort Of man that the Panama
government would like TO get rid OF as
quickly as possible.

The question whether druggists ought
to be allowed to sell alcoholic liquors on
the prescriptions ofphysicians in counties
where the sale Of such liquors is prohib-
tied has caused temperance people good
deal of trouble.
There doesn't appear TO be any doub.
that druggists ought TO be allowed to sell
alcoholic liquors, because they are absO-
lutely necessary in some kinds OF sick
ness, and it is probable that the temper
ance people would not raise any objection
10 their sale on prescriptions of physicians
if it were not for the fact that the pre-
scrlption plan is liable to be greatly
abused.
In some States where the plan was tried
the drug stores did regular saloon bust
ness. 1t is probable that regular physi-
clans and reputable druggists did not
combine to evade the law, but it was not
difficult to find those who had some sort
Of right to be regarded as physician who
would ill out all the whisky prescriptions
that were required. Alleged drug stores
sprang into existence with remarkable
rapidity. Their stock was made up al
most wholly of alcoholic liquors. They
had druggists license, and few bot
ties for the sake of appearances.
OF course if it is the purpose of the
people to shut up the saloons they don't
propose to have whisky sold as freely as
ever, and that, too, without the restric.
tions that are placed on saloons. There
is no sense in simply changing the name
of the drinking places.
Assuming that it is necessary that
druggists should sell whisky, the oppor-
tunity is presented to the Georgia Legisla-
ture to devise a way that will premit
them to sell it as a medicine and prevent
them from selling it as beverage.

How Senator Thurman Acq uired French
Matbematics, and whist.


From the O1e0eJdnd Herald.
Senator Thurman learned French as a boy
in the little Quo town Of CblllcOthe. and q
pretty romance clusters around hs acquire
ment Of it. Mr.. Thurman's father was q
Baptist preacher, who, when his boy Allen
WAS years old, moved from LynchbuFg, Va.
to ChillicOjhe, o.. and there taught school
and started u small wooden manufaotOry.
shortly after this there came to ChillicOthe a
dne-lOoklng old Frenchman. with a daughter
about the age Of young Allen, and Aliens
mother took the little French maiden into
her house 10 1--we, on condition that her
father should teach Allen French. This
Frenchman, whose name was Nj. Gregoire
had been educated by his family for the priest
hood, but had fallen in love at the time he was
about 70 take the orders, and that with q
beautiful girl whom hts family considered be-
meath hun. He had left the church and mar
red her, and then, finding things rather I'M
comfortable about home, bad invested in an
estate Of thousands of acres in Virginia. In
duo time this daughter WAS born, and. after
the estate. she was nam0t Viz Rinia. His wife
dlcd in giving her birth, and, after a few
years Of grief, GregOire determined to come
to bis great estate In the Now World. When
he arrived he found his Utopia a tract OF stony,
mountainous land, worth nothing, aud he
had 10 90 to work 10 keep him
self alive. In doing this ne drlfted
to Chilicothe, and his daughter was
taken into the Thurman family. She did not
understand a word Of English, and Alien did
not understand q word of French. They
played together, and with his teaching from
the Frenchman and his practice with the
daughter the boy soon became quite Frenchy
lie kept mp his studies in after life, and
French is now ae easy for him as English.
Another amusement of senator Thurman is
the working out Of mathematical problems
he Is one of the finest m thematioians in
ONO, and has been noted for his skill Ia
mathematics since he was "A boy, and was

There Is very active competition for the

ment says that the number now runs up
