A Horse PaCIfIcd BY HYMNS.

A minister named NJ. g., who
has since passed into "inocuous
desuetude' by falling from grace
had a circuit in southern Indiana
The horse he rode was a spirited
animal and would not let a black
smith shoe him. The preacher was
great revivalist and singer of re
vival sons-nOted for his "poweI
of song,D in fact. A smith in the
county seat, the centre of the cir
cult, learning that the preachers
horse would not be shod, meeting
the divine one day, said : "lf you'll
bring that horse to my shop to-mOr
row and follow my instructions III
shoe him all round, and it won'l
cost you a cent? Accordingly the
preacher was on time at the smiths
shop with his refractory steed, and
after the animal had been divest'
ed of saddle, blankets, and all but
the bride, the smith said: Snow,
hold your horse by the rein, close
to the bridle-bit, and sing one Of
your liveliest camp-meeting songs,
and when that is ended strike up
another, and keep on singing un'
til / finish sboeing the horse" The
preacher obeyed, and, to the as
constituent of all, the animal was
passive until the work was com
pleted. AS the blacksmith clinch'

Protection in The South.
birmingham Agc.l

Whoever has given attention t.
the subject must be convinced thai
the sentiment IN favor Of protec
ton is growing, and growing rapid
". in the south. The free traders
| think it is undemOcratic to favor
protection. Some of them 60 sc
far as to hold that a Democrat who
favors protection has got no bust
ness inside the Democratic party,
and yet there are thousands of pro-
tectionists in the party, and some
of them are getting bold and out.
spoken enough to let the country
know it, as was instanced the other
day at Savannah in the proceed
ings ofChatham county Democracy.
At the mass meeting of the Demo.
Gratis of this county the following
resolution was offered and adopted :;
Whereas the tariff and currency
questions are two of the most i'm
portant questions now pending be-
fore Congress and, whereas, we
hold that a protective tariff to fos-
ter American industry, and the
maintenance of the silver coinage
to increase circulation, which is the
life blood of the body polite, con.
duces most to the prosperity of the
country.
Rcsolred, That we will support no
candidate for Congress who does
not pledge himself, if elected, to
vote for these measures, and such
other measures az from time to
time may arise, as instructed by
his constituents.
The resolution was seconded. A
motion to table was lost, and it
was adopted by a large vote.
No doubt our free trade friends
in South Alabama will be Mortified
that an organized body of Demo
Gratis. in convention assembled,
should declare in favor of "a pro-
tective tariff to foster American
industries" but if they will only
admit the truth they must confess
that this is simply in accord with
the Democratic national platform.
While the protection sentiment
is growing in Georgia it is also
growing rapidly in Alabama. The
time is not far distant when Ala
bama will send an almost solid |
protection delegation to Congress.

RlpDLEBER6ER.

There has been no more disgrace
FIJI scene for years in either branch
of Congress than the exhibition
Mr.. Riddleberger made of himself
on Thursday. Coming from the
Virginia Senator it was not unex-
pected, as he has never let an OPP
portunity pass which has afforded
a chance for him 70 be offensive
and disagreeable to the gentlemen
who are forced to sit in the same
chamber with him. 1t has been
Senator Sherman's painful duty, as
presiding officer, to summarily sit
on Mr.. Riddleberger on more than
one occasion. While his fairness
and impartiality have been gener-
ally recognized it was necessary,
in order to maintain the dignity of
the Senate, to strongly object to
the manners of barrOOm politician.
This disciple ranked in Riddleber-
gers breast, and in the lowest and
most Objectionable manner he tried
TO revenge himself on his cOrrectOr.
OF course it failed of its purpose,
and only emphasized the well
known fact that the Senator's prop
er sphere is in a stable or saloon
rather than the nations Capitol.
AppropOs of this whole subject
we may state that we are in posses
sion OF two st. Louis pamphlets
giving Stealson in pen.pictures Of
heroic size which we shall some
time in the early future add 10 the
columns lately reproduced in the
HERALD from the Washington Tele-
gram and a st. Louis journal.

FUNERAL Of The LATE RR. TILDEN.

YoNKERs. y. V, Aug. THE
day opened with heavy and damp
clouds brooding over Greystone,
where the body of the dead states
man was lying in it's funeral robes
awaiting burial. In this city the
public buildings were closed, and
omblcms Ofm0urning were display
ed on almost every house. The
early trains brought large crowds
to attend the Obsequies, and the
roads leading to the late home Of
the deceased were thrOnged with
mOurncrs. among whom were many
notable citizens. Long before the
services were begun. the house and
spacious grounds Of GreyStOne were
filled to overlooking. Early in the
morning the casket arrived, and
the body was reyerently placed
therein, and was removed from the
room in the second story in which
it was first placed to the blue room
on the first floor. This was rot ac-
complished until eight o'clock and
it was not dntil that hour that the
general public were admitted to
the mansion. The remains were
placed on a catafalque in the centre
of the room. The drapery of the
catafalque was black Grape and
cashmere, and the entire room was
draped in sable. Several hundred
people, among Them President
Cleveland and other distinguished
personagcs, have viewed the re-
mains during the day. The pail
bearers were Samuel j. Randall,
John BlgelOw, Daniel Manning,
Smith VI. Weed, Charles A. Dana,
DIR. G.. l.. Miller, VIM. Allen Butler,
Daniel Magone, j. b. Trevor, DIR.
Chas. +. Simmons, and \. J. Van
derpoel. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. DR.. VIM. Tucker
OF the Presbyterian Church.

Two Men In a Barrel Boat.
TIE NIAGARA WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS AGAIN
NAYIGATED.


NAYIGATED.
The feat of Graham, the cooper
who recently made the passage OF
the Niagara whirlpool rapids, was
successfully initiated Sunday by
two coopers, named William Potts
and George Hazlitt, in a barrel
boat, cOnical in form, ten feet long,
and bnilt of locust slaves. 1t was
supplied with a keel, rudder,
screw-wheel, and a turret with
glass-covered peep holes. About
300 pounds of sand ballast kept it
right side up most Of the time. The
two men lay back to back while
passing through the more turbulent
waters, clinging to handles made
fast to the sides Of the cask. Each
was likewise kept on his own side
of the cask by means of a canvas
sling made fast to staples. The
start was made from the Maid of
the Mist landing, on the Canada
side, and the landing was made
at Queenstown, on the same side,
about five miles further down. The
time occupied in the voyage was
ffty.fve minutes, and the boat was
by some $1,000 specta'
tors.

GRIP.

4 QUEER CASE.-A long time ago
two farmers living near Reading,
Pa, Quarreled about line fence,
went to law, and Hillary Hogan
shelf then commanded Kemming
never to speak to him, and even to
remain from his funeral. lie warn
ed his people, and hoped lightning
would strike his coffin if his wishes
were not respected. Finally Ho-
ganshelf was taken sick, and again
emphasized his wishes about KEN
ming. Death soon came, but
Kemming was invited to be a pail
bearer, and he accepted. The fun
eral took place, and nothing hap
pened until the straps we're being
removed from under the coffin.
Suddenly a black clOnd sailed over
the heavens, and rain fell IN tor.
rents. A flash of lightning that
startled everybody crashed into
the grave and split the coffin. The
mOurners fled in terror, and the
grave was not closed until the
storm was over.

The news from the Mexican Dor
der does not grow any more pacific
with the lapse OF time. The front
iersmen seem bound to get up
war on their own responsibility
and the Chihuahua and Texas ofli
Gals are assuming an attitude
which tends TO encourage rather
than quell hostile manifestations
The inhabitants of the border terri
tory being naturally lawless and
quarrelsome, it will not lie strange
under the circumstances, if they
manage to come together by and
by in a sort of guerilla fashion. The
situation IS such as to make it all the
more imperative on the general gov
ernments to exercise caution and
mutual forbearance, and to direct
their efforts, first Of all, toward re-
ducing the bOrderers to a state of
snbOrdinatiOn. II Mexico and the
United States are to go to war, it
must be in a dignified and serious
fashion, and not at the beck of a
few hundred ruffians who are in a
chronic fighting mood. There are
rumOrs in New York that the Unit
ed States government has at last
decided to move some Of our land
and naval forces toward the scene
Of hOstilities, and that the recent
ordering away of the Galena, Van
dalia, and Juniata may have had
some connection with the Mexican
trouble. If, so, it is doubtless on
ly precautionary measure, and as
such it would be cOmmendable. -
The reimbursement of the forts in
the neighbOrboOd of El PasO is also
judiciOus measure, as it may be
necessary to use military force in
dealing with the turbulent citizens
of our own country as we'll as Mexi-
co, if the fracus should develop in
to any larger proportions. Mean
while the great body Of peaceable
citizens, on both sides, will hope
for a speedy and amieable settle
ment of the whole difficulty.
