IT'S hard indeed to love and lose
The darling from our heart,
Although we know tbs for her good
That from her we must part.
'Tis hard to see the vacant chair
Where once our loved one sat,
And know no more we'll meet her here
Oh, love we can't forget.
Yet, in Heaven we hope to meet
Those smiling bright blue eyes,
Where Jesus and dear friends will
greet
Us, at home beyond the skies. ~

PRoF. WILLEY's LEcTURE.-Quite a
large audience assembled at the Uni
versity chapel last Thursday even
ing, to hear Prof w. p. Wiley de-
liver his address before the literary
societies. His subject was "The Pol
tiles of the Gospels" The unani-
nous opinion of all who heard the
address, was that it was one of the
best ever delivered from that plat
form. The unique subject awakened
inquiry in the minds of the audience
as to the manner in which it would
be discussed, and his audience were
on the qui vire for something out of
the ordinary line of thought. 1t is
to be regretted that our space forbids
us to give extracts from the lecture,
or even a synopsis, but let it suffice
to say that for freshness of thought,
elegance of diction, brilliancy Of wit,
and force of delivery, we have sell
dom heard it equalled.

be continued until depth of 1920
feet is reached, or 300 feet deeper

sufficient to supply all that the town
could use for Illuminating purposes,
but the company will bore an addi-

with the possibility of striking more.
There is no doubt that we will have

tee of the Senate, which was favorable

business of yesterday, being a considera-
tion Of the bill providing for a correct
assessment Of property tor taxation, was
taken up.

up at noon.
Mr.. Hawkes.. Of Sumter. took the floor
in opposition to the bill. His argument
was based upon constitutional grounds
almost entirely, and on the authority of
the Legislature to control the railroads of
Georgia. He occupied the floor up to the
| hour of adjournment for dinner, and at
the O'Clock afternoon session, when the
discussion was resumed, Mr.. Hawkes.
again took the floor and held it until the
| adjournment Of the afternoon session.
! During the day several amendments
were offered, among them one by Mr..
| Griffith, of Oconee. which was an amend
ment to the jenkins amendment, and pro-
vides that no particular form shall be re-
| quired in placing cases before the COM
mission, and that no case shall be thrown
out on account Of It's not being drawn up
in any particular form. The Griffith
amendment to the amendment by Mr..
ed in this way, it is thought that the bill
will pass. A vote may be reached to-
morrow.

SALISBURY ON THE STUMP.
Irish and RoumeIlsn Affairs the Prin-
cipal Themes of tho Speech.

LONDON, Oct. Lord Salisbury, the
Premier, spoke at the National COnserVa-
tive Conference at Newport to-day. He
thanked the Conservative union for ex-
posing the true nature OF the gaudy prom
ises and seductive programme OF the Lib
erals. The Premier urged his hearers to
continue their efforts in behalf OF Con-
servatism, which he said was growing
and had glorious future. He then pro-
ceeded 10 elucidate the policy of the Con-
servative party. Referring to the disturb
anoes In the Balkans the Premier said:
1t is no part of the duty OF British states
men to interfere In affairs in Roumelia. The
treaty OF Berlin has not been frustrated, nor
has the san Stetano treaty been restored. The
policy Of the government is TO uphold the
Turkish empire, and wherever II s possible 20
do so genuinely and heartily, TO uphold, cher
lsh ana foster strong, self-sustained national
tiles.
HOPING FOR PEACE.
For the present have hopes that the pow
ers Will confne the disturbances within the
limits OF Roumelian territory. Russian IN
iiuence would have checked the political
growth of Roumelia il the latter country had
united with Bulgaria in 1873.
He favored a great change In the pres
ent measures for self-government. To
decentralize authority in London was an
indispensable part of the new govern
ments policy. He believed in a closer
union of England and her colonies
with view Of proving the real strength
OF the nation In European councils, and
he said 1t was one of the most important
questions of the future.
LAND MEASURES.
He favored measures for oheapening
and simplifying the sale and transfer OF
land. He stated that the government
had received returns showing that gem
eral crime in Ireland had decreased.
BOycOtting was amenable to the ordI-
nary law, which would be enforced.
Thirty-fye prosecutions, he said, had
already been started. Extending self
government to Ireland he declared, was
an open question, but it Is desirable as
far as possible TO give Ireland the same
benefits as are enjoyed by the rest Of the
United Kingdom.
Lord Salisbury strongly upheld the
union of church and State.
PROMISES OF THE LIBERALS.
George j. Goschen, Liberal member OF
Parliament for RipOn, speaking at Ediu-
burgh this evening, said he was opposed
TO free education. He would not vote for
disestablishment Of the Scottish church
unless the proposition was government
measure. Ii the Liberals, ne said, were
returned TO power they would be justified
in appealing TO the Tories to help fight
Parnell.
At Newport, where the Conservative
conference was held to-day, q mob at
tackled a Tory newspaper office, breaking
the windows and otherwise wreckng the
building. Before the disturbance was
quslled the police were compelled TO
charge the rioters.

The Sixteenth Trial of the Jones County
Calf Case Ended.

WATERLOO, Ia, Oct. 7.--The lawsuit
known as the Jones county "calf case"
has been concluded in the City court in
this city. 1t was an action brought by
Robert johnson against Z. V. Miller and
six other defendants for $4,000 for mali
cious prosecution.
Eleven years ago John Foreman, Of
Jones county, had four calves stolen, and
about the same time Robert Johnson, a
neighboring farmer. bought some calves
of S. d. Battor, of Greene
county. These calves proved to be the
ones stolen from Foreman. Soon after
johnson was prosecuted by the anti
horse thief ASSOCIATION OF Jenes county
for the theft Of the calves. He was tried
twice and acquitted, and in 1877 brought
suit against seven members of the assOci-
alton for Malicious prosecution, alleging
that they did not have probable cause for
commencing the action. The case has
been before the courts ever since, and has
been tried five times, and each time-ex-
cept one-the plaintiff received a verdict
ranging from $4,000 to $1,000. But each
time the verdict has been set aside. The
jury to-day awarded $1,000, the costs, at
torneys' fees, and expenses entailed upon
all the parties TO the litigation, are
estimated at over $4,000, and several
prosperous farmers have been rendered
bankrupt, while the calves, in the first
place, were not worth $50.

respecting the recent elections for mem-.
bers Of the chamber Of deputies. Prince,
Hohenlohe said: "In my opinion, the
only possible way under the clrcumstan-
ces 20 favor a stable government. is by
union OF the two Republican factions OF
the chamber, as 1 am afraid the Radical
left minority will not defer to the desires
Of the moderate left majority regarding
governmental measures. Europe has
hitherto been enabled 10 be on good terms
with the French republic, but the repub-
lie Of Tomorrow may differ from the re-
public Of yesterday. II the conservatives
use their comparative victory solely In
the interests Of the country they may
easily contribute towards maintaining or
even improving the relations Of France
with the rest OF Europe. II, however,
they should use their increased power to
disturb the situation and call into ques-
tion the established order Of things,
France would enter into a period OF
troubles and agitations, and would re-
quire the closest watching by foreign
statesmen. Every oscillation in France
at present makes sensible difference In
the political calculations which now
occupy the attention OF Europe"
CAUSE AND RESULT.
OTTAWA, Oct. I'M. de Molinari, one
OF the French delegates, now visiting
Canada, says that the Conservative sue
cess IN the French elections, even IL as
great as reported, will not end the anger
OF the Republican Radicals. The Mon
archists, BOnapartists and other factions
were united against the government, and
the people embraced the opportunity TO
protest against the disastrous colonial
policy pursued during recent years. The
policy Of conquest In T0nquin and NADIA
gascar, NJ. de MOlinari says, WAS never
popular with the French people, but there
Is no prospect that the factions recently
united IN opposition 70 M. BrissOn, Prime
Minister. will be able 20 remain united.

turbances tonight IA front OF the Gdutofs
