MONTICELLO, n Y, March 2l.-For years
Henry Pelham, farmer, living on the thinly
settled district on the border of this county,
had been model of probity and piety for the
residents Of the settlements thereabOuts His
gifts as a lay preacher and eXhorter were such
that his services were n constant demand al
religious meetings held IN the neigh bOrhood.
His services were freely and willingly given.
short time ago PELHAM was Frustrated
Dy Illness His physician finally pro-
nounced the illness mortal. When the
patient was told that he could not live he
called his family around his bedside, and
confessed that, Notwithstanding all his
past professions of piety, ana the life of
apparent uprightness ne had lived, he was N
reality an unrepentant sinner. One of his
most faithful and ardent admirers, and a
brother in the same church, was Andrew
Brady The dying lay preacher confessed
that he had stolen two sheep belonging to
Brother Brady. and had prOfted by their pos
session and their increase. He exhOrted his
family to solemnly promise to restore to the
wrOnged brother not only the two sheep be-
longing to him, but all of their natural in
crease, or number Of sheep equivalent
thereto.
Pelham died the next dav. The morning
after he was buried one Of the sons drove

The appointments by the Governor of

"MAY BAD LUCK BE MINE.n
The Curious Temperance Pledge Signed
by kentucky COlOred People.


by Kentucky COlOred People.
From, the LOuiscllLe Courier Journal.
A little more than year since a cOlored
carpenter, Alexander @, Drake by name,
conceived the idea that the temperance field
among the coored people of the city and State
was neglected, and so determined to give up
his trade and take up the cause OF sObrIety.
During the past year Drake has made an eX
tensive campaign in this city and in various
parts Of the 5 ate. His plan Of work is to Sc
cure signers TO the pledge which binds the
convert for three months. a year, or for life,
as the case may be. The pledge reads as fol-
lows:
81 do sincerely hope that if drink beer or
whisky until date named here. without
being considered sick. that bad luck NAV be
mrne the remainder Of my life, SO help me
God.v
Drake has secured more than 800 pledges
from the cOlOred people of this city, and
claims that all the signers are aIlhful TO their
oath. He pins on each one of his converts
piece of blue tape, which he halls as the "cold
water flag"
The leader Of this new organization is 50
years old, and formerly was a slave in the
Drake family OF Adair county. He is we'll
known in this city az former political agita-
tor Of the Republican party. He now claims
to be the 'Ony cOOred temperance worker of
prominence in Kentucky"

pretty good bid for it. The people oil

geographical centre Of the State, is easy

State, aud has other advantages. II
may be that Atlanta can do better than n
has done in the past. but II Macon tries
very hard it will probably be able TO keer

doubtless very carefully consider the

An Unfounded Renort.

Washington dispatches state that there
was a report in that city on Monday that
an agent or Gov. Perry, of Florida, was
there for the purpose OF sounding Senators
as to the prospect Of the Senate's admit
ting to a seat in that body a Senator ap-
pointed by the Governor to represent
Florida In place of Senator Jones, who, It
is alleged, is still hopeful OF capturing the
coy damsel of Detroit.
This is one of the stories started by
Washington correspondents for the
amusement rather than for the instrnc-
ton OF the public. OF course Gov. Perry
never for a moment contemplated APP
pointing a Senator to nil Mr.. Jones'
temporarily vacant chair, and if he
did make such an appointment it
would lind no favor with Sena-
tors. There is not much doubt that
a majority OF the Senator's, if not all Of
them, sympathize with Mr.. Jones in his
wiie-seeking errand, and are perfectly
willing TO do his share OF Senatorial work
until he returns, even il he finds il impor.
tant that he should remain in DertOit
during the remainder Of the session
All OF the Senators absent themselves
from the Senate when they are sick until
they get we'll. Mr.. Jones is sick-love
sick-and il is unkind to insist that he
shall return 10 his duties before he is in
PRIME condition for work. While he is suf-
fering from this love sickness, which in
his case seems to be remarkably severe,
what is the use for him to try 10 attempt
20 attend TO legislative mattersy lie
couldn't do II. He would only be in the
way. He couldn't make an argument on
the constitution because his mind . run
ming upon love. Let Mr.. Jones alone.
He will be all right in good time, aud will
make his appearance in the Senate one
OF these days just as il nothing had hap
pened.

the whole country In the continued
coinage OF silver dollars under the act
Of 1873. While we fully recognize that
both silver and gold are required as

should be coined in such ratio that the
other shall be driven out Of general use.
We repudiate the idea 50 often main

the continued coinage Of silver dollars
on account Of self interest, but on
the contrary We assert that we
have no special interest in one kind Of
coin more than the other, ae long as

having limited means and particularly
earners Of wages, will most largely
suffer when the Threatened evils shall
come. We therefore earnestly appeal
