AUGUSTA, May 29.-The Salvation Army
contest in Augusta continues with more vigor
than ever, and tonight it probably reached
climax. When the Army left their barracks
tonight, Capt. iThacher did not appear with
them, but Happy Johnny, the cripple, led and
Mrs. Capt. Thacher bore the drum. At the
foot of Bridge Hill she began to drum, and the
police arrested the entire army-22 in number
conducting them to Jail with mob at their
heels. In the Jail the entire army prayed and
shouted, the men-13 in number-being locked
up in cells, and the ewomen-numbering nine
being placed by themselves. The police then
went to meeting which was in progress and
arrested Capt. Thacher and cadet, just as
they arose from prayers, taking them to jail
big crowd following, and making the total
number in Jail "a. When the Captain made
himself known, the whole army shouted SO as
to be heard for long distance around, when
the jailor threatened to throw several of them
into the dungeon. Judge Andrews, of the
municipal court said tonight that the law does
not oblige him to hold court on Memorial Day,
which is a public holiday, or Sunday, and the
prisoners will probably lie in Jail until Monday.

The Richest Young Married Man in

The richest young married man in
Philadelphia is james P. Scott, son of
the late Thomas A. Scott, President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Nobody knows, however. what he is
worth, because, according to the re-
quest of his father, no inventory of his
fathers estate has been filed. His
father was believed. however, by those
who were acquainted with his affairs.
to be worth about Sl6,O00,000. James
2. married the daughter of Mr.. Hugh
Davids. member of an old Philadel-
phia family. He has bestowed upon
her the finest diamonds in Pennsyl-
vania, among them necklace of three
strands worth 100000. His house is
regarded, next to Vanderbilt's, as the
finest in the United States. 1t is valued,
with its contents, at q, 100000 These
figures, however, can not convey true
idea of its splendor, because as COM
pared with New York ground in Phila-
deiphia by reason of the extent of terri
tory, is cheap. The appointments of
the house are exquisite. Artists and
decorators were brought from Germany
and France for the purpose of beautify-
ing special rooms. The decorations and
appointments of one of the principal
drawing-rooms alone were made at an
expense of 800, coo. -PhiladeEphia Cor.

Mr.. Manning, the appointee for Secretary
of the Treasury, was born in Albany in
1881. His father died few years after his
birth, leaving his widow, son and daugh-
ter unprovided for. When nine years of
age Dan began to earn his own living as an
errand-boy in the dIyus office, and it was
there that he acquired all his education and
experience. Mr.. William j. Cassidy, the
owner of the argus, was not slow in dis
covering the peculiar talents of his Grand
boy, and made him reporter before he
was fifteen years old. Manning acquired
in this position an extensive acquaintance
with public men, as the 4iryas Office was
then the headquarters of the Northern De-
mocracy. All through the war he re-
ported the proceedings of the New York
Senate, and also all political conven-
tions of Importance held in the State of
New York. AT the death of Cassidy in
1871 Manning became the Manage of the
Argus Company, and improved its business
facilities in skillful manner. He also took
an active part in the management of the
Commercial National Bank. At present
Manning has withdrawn from the active
management of the Argus and devotes
himself to the management of the Com
mercial National Bank, of which he has
been President for several years. Born
Catholic, he gradually drifted into the
Episcopal Church, of which his first wife
was a member, and both of his sors, who
hold important positions on the Argus, be-
long to this denomination. His daughter,
however, has remained Catholic. His
first wife died about four years ago, and
about three months ago he ventured again
on to the sea of matrimony, leading to the
altar Miss Fryer, the only daughter of an
Albany dry goods prince, and thereby OBJ
tanned a more prominent position in society.

L. Q. @. LAMAR.
Mr.. Lamar is forty-nine years of age.
He is one of the scholars of the South, and
has had, probably, q wider range of expe-
rience than any of his Southern associates.
He is a native of Georgia, and is related to
the family of Howell Cobb and other equal
ly noted Southern families. Mr.. Lamar
served short time in Congress before the
war, but he made no particular mark then.
His eulogy of Charles Sumner gave him in

was educated at Oxford, Ca, and graduated
at Emory College in that State. He studied
law at Macon, Ga, and was admitted to the
bar in 1877. He soon after removed oOxford,

Here he has been lawyer, planter, and pro-
fessor during a long term of years. He
was first Professor of Mathematics, and
after the war was Professor OF Political
Economy and Social Science. From 1856
until his election to the Forty-third Con-
gress he was Professor of Law. He only
served part of the Forty fourth Congress,
when he was elected to the Senate. Dur
ing the war of the rebellion he was, until
1868, Lieutenant Colonel in Mississippi
regiment. In that year he was sent as the
Minister of the Confederate Government
to Russia. Mr. Lamar is a widower and
has no fortune outside of his official
salary. He lives very quietly. He is .
man slightly above five feet ten, with q
large, well rounded figure. His head Is
large and thickly covered with
grayish- brown hair which falls in straight
parallels upon each side of his face into
long roll, which curls in at the back of his
neck. His forehead is high and narrow.
His eyes are brown and deeply set. Hir
nose is straight. The lower part of his
face is hidden by sweeping long nous
tache and heavy chin whiskers. His COM
plexion is very sallow. He has the con-
templative air of a student, and is fond of
solitude and reflection.

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

When over youths receding track
The moonlight of remembrance throws
"A tender charm, half winning back
The sunshine that too quickly goes:
How oft in retrospecioa cast,
Untrammcled fancy floats between
The actual story OF the past,
And what that story might have been.
But simple words to breathe so much
Of soft regret or sorrow Keen.
In truth there are not many touch
More hearts than these: 1t might have been
Alone and ioyeless year by year
Our lives arc lived, our ways are planned;
Young love himself once lowered near,
To wait awhile bcckoning hand.
When wistsully the urchn smiled,
We passed him by with look serene,
Though Row, / warrant. though beguiled
We sometimes say: IL might have been!
Oh, simple words that breathe so much
or soft regret or sorrow keen,
Where is the heart ye can not touch
Oit echoed sigh: 1t might have been?
We saw the victor's laurel wave.
But never proud success have known;
Alack. her glowing mead she gave
To other efforts than our own.
Twas not for us to taste her bliss,
Who only prove what failures mean:
Yet conscience whispcre-but for this.
Or but for that: Il might have been!
where IS tac'heartthey can not touch
With soft regret or sorrow keen!
TO YOU, TO nc, they breathe so much
Those simple words: 1t might have been!
Here was the glittoring plaything priced,
Whose wortalessneSs we saw too late:
And there tho single chance ccSpised
Which opened ur faircr fate.
All. well day. NcknOw not what

And haplS i were wiser not

With soft regret or SORROW keen.

4 City whose Public Buildings Are Given
Over to Idols.

OSeB 70 A0OlSs
The population of Benares must by
this time be amounting toward two
hundred thousand. apart from the pill
grims, who keep half rs many again
there during largo part of the year.
All these pilgrlmages and the innumer-
able shrines and temples of the place
are literally the creation OF superstition.
1t is city wholly given up to idolatry.
Its merchandise is idols. The people
one meets there are organisms of super
natural terrors. Symbols painted in
ashes distinguish them as war-paint dis
tInguishes savage tribes. There seems
from immemorial time to have been
here survival of the abjectest. accom-
panied by an arrest of every kind of de-
velopment which would have brought
them into relation with the secular
world. A learned Hindu said to me:
Religion is the constant, never-ceasing
interest and occupation of Hindu in a
sense that Europeans can not under
stand. Their eating and drinking,
their sleeping and waking. their marry
ing and dying, all are interviewer with
their religion. At Benares l reflect
that only in cuphemistic way could
the term religion be applied to the
coarse, obscene, degraded perform
ances. void of solemnity. earnest
ness or beauty, which make this
vast embodiment of Hinduism-the city
of Benares. silva is now the Mahadeo
or Great God of Benares. Temples are
here raised to each and all of his
bodies, parts and passions. silva has
encroached and is thus becoming the
patron and deity of Benares. There
his official &1ace is seen, Il big stone
bludgeon. His image is of stone with
q face of silver. Behind him is an i'm
mense dog. Among the offerings to
him are alcoholic spirits, generally abb
sorbed by his priests. one of whom
lately died from an excess of that kind
of devotion. This is the only temple
into which dogs are allowed to enter
freely, and they are daily fed within its
precincts. Those who have visited
Russian churches may remember with
what great care dogs are excluded from
them, whereas cats are welcomed. The
Russian legend is that when the devil
tried to enter the first cathedral in the
form of a mouse the dog on guard at the
door allowed him to pass, but cat
bounced upon him. Such is the ex-
PLANTATION by the Folk of fact which
probably might find its origin in the
Hindu notion that dogs are unclean.
Near this is the shrine dedicated to
Sitla, goddess of smallpox. A person
who has died of smallpox must be
buried, not burnt, lest the goddess be
hurt, for she is in every person so
afflicted. Many are the sacred wells.

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
An Englishman's Opinion Of Its Worship q
the United States.

An Englishman's Opinion Of Its Worship I'm
the United States.
I think, whatever be said of the wor-
ship of the almighty dollar in America,
it is indubitable that rich men are re-
garded there with less envy and hatred
than rich men are in Europe. Why is
this? Because their condition is less
fixed, because government and legisla-
ton do not take them more seriously
than other people. make grandees of
them, aid them to found families and
endure. With us the chief holders of
property are grandees already, and
every rich man aspires to become q
grandee if possible. And, therefore,
an English country gentleman regards
himself as part Of the system of ma
ture; government and legislation have
invited him to do so. If the price of
wheat falls so low that his means of
expenditure are greatly reduced, he
tells you that if this lasts he can not
possibly go on as a country gentleman;
and every well-bred person among us
looks sympathizing and shocked. An
American would say: ''Why should
hep" The Conservative newspapers
are fond of giving us, as an argument
for the game laws, the plea that with
out them a country gentleman could
not be induced to live on his estate.
An American would say: ''What does
it matter?" Perhaps to an English ear
this will sound brutal; but the point is
that the American does not take his
rich man so seriously as we do ours.
does not make him into a grandee; the
thing, if proposed to him. would strike
him as an absurdity. / suspect that
Mr.. Winans himself, the American mill
lionaire, who adds deer forest to deer
forest, and will not suffer a cotter to
keep pet lamb, regards his own per-
Torrance as colossal stroke of Ameri-
can humor, illustrating the absurdities
of the British system of property and
privilege. Ask Mr.. Winans if he would
promote the introduction of the British
game laws into the United States and
he would tell you with merry laugh
that the idea is ridiculous. and that

WOLVES IN FRANCE.
The Number Destroyed During the Year
1883.


1888.
France is still infested in some parts
with wolves, and although these formi-
dable animals do not generally cause
much loss of human life, it only re.
quires really cold winter to render the
wolves dangerous and destructive to the
poor husbandmen and villagers of the
Mouse and the Vosges. Formerly,
many French departments were pro-
vided with louvetters, gentlemen who,
in return for the title and privilege of
wearing a gallant and most piquant
uniform, undertook to keep the district
free from louvine incursions. A short
time back, however, these honorable
and venerable dignities were suppressed,
the Minister of Agriculture being con-
tent with setting aside annually sum
of money, out of which prizes are
awarded for each wolf killed. The
Minister of Agriculture has just issued
the official returns of the wolves de-
stroyed during tie year 1888. No few
err than 1888 wolves were killed in one
way or another. Of these, 80 were
with Young, and 493 were cubs; the re-
mainder being full-grown animals.
Nine well authenticated eases of per-
sons being attacked by wolves were re-
ported, but it is not said whether any
lives were destroyed or not. One hun
bred and three thousand seven hundred
and twenty francs CALLS les. SD
were distributed as rewards, which
varied according to the importance of
the capture. But perhaps the most in
teresting part of the report is that which
tabulatcs the number of animals de-
stroyed in each department. The Peri
CORD and eastern counties suffer most
from the ravages of these animals. The
Dordogne heads the list with l31; the
Meuse, 122; Haute-Meuse, 50; Meurthe.
et-Mosellc, 81; Vosges, Il; Haute-
Vienne, IL; Charente. sc; Correze. So;
Grouse, 4S: Aube. 40: other counties
following with lesser totals. During an
exceptionally severe winter exciting
sport may be enjoyed either in the
Vosges, the Dordogne or the Cote dor:
local guides and attendants are readily
obtained. and the poor peasantry are
ready thankfully to render any assist
ance to the hunters who help to rid
them of their t<eacherous and destruct-
i've enemy.-Chanabers' Journal.

THOMAS +. BAYARD.

| Mr.. Bayard is the oldest in continuous
service of the Democratic Senators. He is
| now serving his third term and has been a
Senator for sixteen years. He succeeded
his father. He is the third in direct line in
his family in the Senate. He will be fifty
does not look a day over fifty. He is very
tall, with good, well filled-out figure, al
though he is by no means stout. He has
the fresh color Of a man who lives plainly
and simply, and the alert look of a young
man of twenty-five. His face is inclined
to be long, while his features are angular.
His forehead is broad and high and pro-
jects well over a pair of keen blue eyes.
His nose is large Roman. His face is
smooth shaver, leaving bare his pointed
chin and squarely Lined jaws. He has very
even, white teeth, which might well be the
envy of a man thirty years younger than
he. He always dresses with great neat
ness, and is as careful in the selection of his
gloves and boots as the most fashionable
young man. He is a man of very pure
private record and one of the highest
minded men in public life. He has mod
crate fortune Of Sl50,0OO to 100000. This
is the result of the natural increase of the
inheritance left him by his father. He has
two daughters and three sons, who are
grown. One of his sons is now engaged in
teaching country school in Maryland.
Mr.. Bayard was born at Wilmington, Del.
He received his education at the Flushing
School, which was a high school of good
standing. He had no collegiate education.
He was early destined for mercantile pur-
suits, but he preferred the law. He was adj
mitted to the bar in 1851. He continued to
remain in Wilmington in the prac ice of
his profession, with the exception of two
yenrs-1S55 and 1S56-when he went to
Philadelphia. He was not pleased with the
result of his experience, and returned at
the end of the two years to Wilmington.
The only Office that he ever held before he
was elected to the Senate in 1869 was the
Office of District Attorney of Delaware,
which Office he held from 1858 to 1854. He
was ranked as one of the best lawyers of
Delaware. He is one of the most regular
of Senators in his attendance upon the ses-
sions of the Senate. There is no debate so
dull as to drive out Mr.. Bayard. He is one
of the Senators who are nearly always to
be found in their seats and he listens care
fully to a great many very dry speeches.
He is one of the best informed Senators in
the body about everything relating to its
rules and methods of business.
