Of If piece of charcoal is laid on burn

left upon the wound for an hour will cure it.
This seems almost incredible, but as piece
of charcoal is readily procurable it should
be kept in every house for immediate use
and its efficiency tested.

Thanks to the abors of Jim Mason and
a few Others of his ilk, an impression has
fastened itself in the Republican mind that
the Democratic party has become split into
two irreconciable factions, each of which
is more determined upon cutting the others
throat than it is in fighting the common
enemy and based upon this assumed state
of facts, the Stalwart leaders of Repu5li-
can faction are already making their ar
engagements TO capture the State.-Faimont
Index.
Mr. Masons hearts desire is to defeat
Senator Camden. He would sacrifice the
democratic party to accomplish such an
end. Fortunately his influence is not all
prevailing.

The General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church is in session at Au-
gusts, Georgia. \ subject exciting most
interest and liveliest debate is evolution as
taught by Prof Woodrow, of Columbia
Theological Seminary. The committee on
evolution Saturday night submitted re-
port that the Presbyterian Church remains
sincerely convinced that the Scriptures, as
truly and authoritatively eXpounded in its
confessions of faith, teach that Adam and
Eve we're created, body and soul, 10y the i'm
mediate acts of the Almighty power, there
by preserving a perfect race unity; that
Adams body was directly fashioned by Al
mighty God, without any natural animal
parentage of any kind, out of matter preyi-
ously created from nothing, and that any
doctrine at variance Herewith is a danger
Gus error, inasmuch as by the methods of
interpreting Scriptures which it must de-
mand and in its consequences, which by
fair implication it will involve, the theory
will lead to the denial OF doctrines funda-
mental 10 the faith The report is signed
by DR.. Geo. D. Armstrong, of Virginia, DR..
R. K. Smoot, of Texas, and others. DR..
Ferguson, of New Orleans, submitted re-
port to the same effect.

Cows. Wilson, of West Virginia, Lee, OF
Virginia, and Foraker, of Ohio, who are in
Cincinnati as guests of the Festival Associ-
alton, were introduced to the members of
the Chamber of Commerce, Saturday, by
President Stevens. Gov Lee, who was re-
ceived with shouts of applause, made a
speech. in the course Of which he referred
to the late war and It's events, which he
said should be consigned to forgetfulness,
or if remembered at all, should be thought
of and talked of as evidences of American
valor and fidelity. No men, he said, could
be brought to face such storms of shot and
shell as were poured upon the Southern
soldier unless they thought their cause was
just He was happy to say that Virginia's
aim was to take her place in the coronet of
the American Union, and by her helpful
ness in advancing the interests of the COM
mon country to become bright and flash
ing Jewel. His remarks were warmly APP
plauded.
Gov Foraker followed, saying he was
delighted to see the earnestness of the
greeting given Gov. Lee, who now for the
first time visited Ohio. 1t would show him
that, though Ohio's sons had fought Vir-
ginians, it was not through hate Rather
Ohio loved Virginia so well that she would
not allow her to separate from the Union.
The war had settled their differences for all
time and now the common desire OF patrl-
OTIS everywhere was to build up~the whole
country. Loud applause followed. We
haven't heard what Governor Foraker has
said since. There's a sort of intermittent
gush about him.
