An Interesting Occasion.

Mr.. EDITOR: On Thursday night las,
DR.. A. ]. Witherspoon, by previous ap'
pointment, delivered on address in the
Presbyterian Church in Anderson on the
subject of our obligations to seamen. DR.
Witherspoon is Chaplain to the seamen' s
Bethel in New Orleans, and from q long
experience in the details of that work
brought out an amount and variety of in.
formation that was both new and deeply
interesting.
There are, it is supposed, 100000 ol
men who "do business in the great waters =
and who are constantly exposed to the
deep. The world is indebted to these
hardy, generous, brave sons of toll; sci
ence, civilizations and governments are in
debted to them. The luxuries of our ints-
rior communities, as well of our seaports
are due to them. No class Of men more
readily or more thoroughly appreciate the
works OF God, or more heartily respond to
power of religion when it is presented to
them. Yet no class of men have been so
much overlooked. When tarrying in sea-
ports without homes, without social en-.
couragement, without religious instruction,
these honest, but generous men, easily be-
come the victims of gambling rooms, and
their hard earned wages are captured by
those who "lie in wait' to destroy more
exposed to sharks on land than to those in
the sea.
Being the carriers of civilization to all
remote seaports, they are naturally fitted
to bear the story of salvation when they
are converted. No better missionaries than
converted seamen. Hence the great obli-
CATION of oil Christians to provide for them
the blessing of religious instruction, and
the necessary adjunct of homes, hospitals
and Bethels.
DR.. Witherspoon has under his super
vision Home" providing comfortable ac-
commodations for seamen at cheap rates of
board, which is self-supporting ; q Bethel
where they enjoy regular preaching, Hos
pital for their sick and large reading
room for their entertainment and informa-
ton, and is travelling for the purpose OF
bringing this whole subject more fully to
the attention of our Christian people.
His address was full of new, varied and
deeply interesting information, and deiv-
cred with the eloquence and impressive
force Of one long accustomed to WELD the
power of the influential speaker. The Dr.
is native South Carolinian, "to the man.
or born," with numerous kindred in his
native State. Judge Witherspoon, who
made SO happy an impression in Anderson
at the Spring term Of Court. is his neph-
ew. The widow of the late DR.. Thornwell,
his sister Mrs. Wardlaw, late of Walhalla,
another sister; Mrs. Taylor, at Pendleton,
a neics, Ee was fellow student of Major
Broyles, our townsman, and their meeting
and "reminiscences were enjoyed exceeding.
ly by the two gentlemen, and their parting
was very tender. D. E. FRIERsoN.

For the Ladies.

There are some complaints to which
women are peculiarly liable, and from
which they will suffer in silence for years
when they could be easily cured by the use
of Pomeroy's Petroline Plasters. Its heal
ing and soothing properties have met with
universal and unqualified commendation
from all using them. Ladies who have
never used them will find 1t to their advan.

will never be without them again. Wilhite

Death Of q worthy Young Man,

Il I - f. 2
Theold familiar saying, Death loves
shining mark, was never more truly
verified than on last Tuesday morning,
when the news spread rapidly over the
city that the spirit of our young friend
and fellow-townsman, Wilbur q. sadler,
had on the preceding night taken its flight
to that mysterious world from whence no
traveller ever returns. Mr.. sadler was
prostrated about four weeks ago with
nervous fever, which kept him confined
to his room untilaboutten days ago, when
ahe had recovered sufficiently to walk out
upon the streets, and his friends were
hopeful that he would soon regain his
usual health. He was again stricken
down on last Thursday with the fever,
and from that time gradually grew worse.
until he passed away. Mr.. sadler had
been resident of Anderson about two
years, during which time he was engaged
asa salesman in the drug store Of Messrs.
Hill Bros,
It was our privilege and pleasure to be
intimately acquainted with the deceased,
and we can say unfeignedly that we never
knew q more noble, generous, kind-heart-
ed young man. he possessed all those
virtues that are worthy of admiration,
and made a friend of every one with
whom he became acquainted. He was
genial, manly and trne, and treated all
who came within his circle of acquaint-
ance with the same uniform courtesy.
He was just entering manhood. having
attained his Goth birthday few days ago.
It is indeed sad to see one with such a
bright future cut down just as the mantle
Of manhood was being thrown around
him. TO him: life's sun has set. For him
,life's cares are ended. Since early youth
he had been faithful member of the
Methodist Church, and it may be truly
said that elived up to his profession.
Bis remains were inferred in the Pres
byterian cemetery Tuesday afternoon,
after appropriate funeral services, con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. w. Wolling in the
presence of large concourse of sorrow
ing friends. The griefstricken family
have the deepest sympathy of our whole
city in their bereavement.
Wilbur has gone, but his memory will
long be cherished by q host Of friends.

Mr.. Mauldin was kind, afable and in

ing example of Christian purity and

Presbyterian Cemetery in Anderson on
Monday afternoon, the Rev. T. P. Bell
conducting beautiful and solemn funeral
service, which was attended by large

The Washington critic., 1886-10-09

one hundred Holstein cows, whose milk
daily amounts to about six hundred gallons.
One Of them gives eight and half gallons
OF milk per day. Prefcrring the Holstein
breed, Senator Mcpherson has now only
two or three Jerseys, one OF them being the
somewhat famous bull which he procured
from Secretary Lamar, named ior tner
mutual friend, Senator Vest OF Missouri.
The pedigree Of Senator Vest (the bull, not
the NAM is framed, and stands on the man
tel in Senator McPherson's library. There
are about dozen heifer calves Of the llol-
stein breed In the cow-house, which are
highly valued, one OF them from the COW
which gives sixty pounds OF milk per day,
and another from one which gives seventy
pounds per day. Neither of these calves
could be bought for $500. IL is the design
OF Senator Mcpherson TO have large herd
OF these cows, so he keeps all Of the heifer
calves born on the place of his full-blooded
stock. He has about four hundred sheep.
The butter is churned by steam, and there
is machine, which by centrifugal force,
separates the cream from the milk as soon
as 1t is taken from the COW. There are
cow house, milk house, sheep house, ice
house and butter house close together. The
rain failing on the roofs OF these Is carried
into oisterD, filtered and boiled and used
for drinking by the family. As no rain
has fallen for over seven weeks, the crops
at Belle Mead are suffering much for the
need OF IL, but the wells and brooks on the
place still have enough water for the stock,
though In the neighborhood there is scar
city OF water. Miss GRUNDY.
