PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

| DR.. Melville Jackson, of Virginia
in late address on the subject Of
Southern progress and civilization,
gives some very interesting facts, well
worthy of consideration.
The South has never been given
full credit for what it has accomplish
ed in the way of recuperation from the
losses of the war. 1t has always been
cited as an evidence of the wonderful
recuperative power of France that it
was able to pay to Germany in so
short a time the $1,U00,000,000 in
demnity fund demanded it. The South
has accomplished much more. In a
single item, its slaves, it lost S2,Oo0,-
100000; while the devastations of
the war were far more serious than
those wrought by the German inva-
sion of France, because the struggle
lasted so much longer and penetrated
every portion of the South. Yet from
these losses, which destroyed nearly
all property, which we're fourfold as
great as the injury inflicted on France,
the South has fully recovered to-day.
1t has, indeed, advanced in wealth
and prosperity, not only wiping out
the last vestiges of the late war, bu,
establishing new industries and a new
civilization.
To-day the South compares with
any portion of the country. DR.. Jack
son shows there are Al paupers among
10000 people in New England to 10
in the South, showing that even if the
former is the richer section, wealth is
more equally distributed here. In the
matter of crimes, II are committed in
New England to s in the South, aud
only a among the whites.
Morally and otherwise, the South
ern States to-day rank with any por
ton of the United States and of the
world Times Democrat.

"A COLUMBIA, S. c., special to the N.
o. imes-Democrat gives an account of a
remarkable tragedy that occurred at Mid
way. John O. Steedly had circulated da-
maging reports of Miss Emma Cormelly, q
young lady twenty years of age, and was
cowhided by her brother and friend
In explanation Steelly published card
in which he reiterated the charges against
the lady. This SO outraged her that while
services were being held in the Midway
church she ente.ed the building, walked
down the aisle, with her arms folded and
holding pistol in her right hand Turn
ing into the pew Immediately behind
steedly, she sat down, placed tho weapon
near his back and fired. Steedly sprang
up and attempted to draw his pistol. Miss
Connolly tried to shoot a second time, bnt
her pistol missed fire, Steedly rushed to
the church door and fell dead at the en-
trance. At the time of the shooting the
church was filed with ladies and chill
dren. Miss Connolly was: arrested but she
has the sympathy of her neighborhood
and will probably not be punished. Both
parties are members Of respectable fami-
lies.-[ Exchange.

THE Rev. Henry Ward Bcecher and
others North have made great deal of
money visiting large cities and preaching
the gospel for SO much sermon or for the
door receipts, and the irreverend Robert
j. Ingersoll has also found a profitable
market for his sermons against Christian
ity. Until lately the South has furnished
no preachers Of this class, but now the
Reys. Sam Jones and Sam Small are
swinging round the country and retailing
their pious orations to large crowds for
big pay. While they are calling on 9th
ers to lay up treasures i'll heaven, they are
very intent on laying up treasure for
themselves here below. They recently
finished a profitable tour in the West; a
few days ago they were plying their trade
IN Massachusetts, and they are advertised
to be at the seacoast camp-meeting in
Mississippi in a few days. These men are
evidently making merchandise of relig-
ion; and the managers of a camp meeting
who employ them, cannot be prompted by
any higher motive than to draw q crowd.
The spiritual religion taught and prac-
ticed by Jesus Christ, is becoming q mere
abstraction; money and plenty of it, fine
churches, fine clothes, fine carriages, show
and glitter, vain forns and ceremonies,
are the essentials Of modern Christianity.

named above whenever we should be-
come engaged in war with it. All
this has long been known and often
stated. 1t ought not be stated much

A Wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to mk,rial
maladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a
wide reform. Not only the public, but
professional men have adopted, not Who'll
ly, of course, but largely, Hostettcr's Sto-
mach Bitters as a safe botanic substitute
for the pernicious alkaloid. The conse-
quences of this Change are most impor-
tant. Now fever and ague sufferers are
cured-formerly their complaints were
only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreciate effect, except the doses
were increased. A conrse of the Bitters,
persistently followed, breaks up the worst
ATTACKS and prevents their return. The
evidence i'll favor of this sterling specific
and household medicine is of no ambirn-
olls character, but positive and satisfacto-
Try, and the sources whence it proceeds are
very numerous.
