Branham came to see us yesterday and
took off his coat and hung it on nail in
the piazza and stuck his feet on the rail-
ing and rested -rested-that's the wcrd.
We talked over the good old days and ne
paid tribute to the dead-the friends
who had left US, and we discussed the
living and we talked little politics and
we wandered over the farm and along the
creek and branches and watched the
minnows lodging around and he said in
whisper: "I almost wish was boy
again." If Judge Bleckley had been
along think we all three would have
gone in swimming. Judge Branham ss.id
he knew every hole in the baptizing
branch, as it was called, down in Putnam.
He could go right now and catch cat in
one hole and a pirch in another-the
lineal descendants of the same fish he
used to catch in the long ago. He knew
the very spot whereh he pulled outan eel
the first one he ever caught-and he
thought it was snake and threw down
the pole and ran for his life. "Thoae
were good times" said he, "and these are
good times too; let us apologize for the
bad and enjoy all the good that we can.
Love, pity and contentment will make
anybody happy"
What gentle genial comfort it is 10
be visited by an old friend. Not for'
NAL call but good, honest loving visit
"a visit that pays double, for itpays him
that gives and him that doth receiye-it
is twice blessed and for season reneWs
our youth and leaves sweet odor after
it has passed.

A curious suit for breach of promise
will be tried at the next term of the Bur.
lington county IN. J.) superior court.
Miss Ella Wilcox, young woman we'll
known in the society of Mount Holly,
became engaged to be married to John
Cook, of the same place. Mr.. Cook went
through all the regular formalities, and
asked Mr.. Wilcox's consent to marry his
daughter. The wedding was to have
taken place on May 1S. Three days be.
fore the wedding day, for some unknown
reason, Mr.. Wilcox changed his mind
about the desirability of Mr.. Cook as a
son.in.law, and said the ceremony would
not take place. When Miss Wilcox told
Mr.. Cook Of this change in feeling on
the part of her father, the prospective
bridegroom got angry and left the house,
saying that he was disgusted and was
going away never to return. Miss Will
cox thought the matter all over, and the
more she thought, the more angry she
became at her father. Last week she
hunted up lawyer and with his assist.
ance she began suit for $4,000 DANA
ges for breach of promise against her
father, alleging that he was the sole
cause of her lovers estrangement, and
that she needed about that amount to
patch up her broken heart and hunt up
another fellow. 1t is believed that this
is the first suit ever begun for breach oi
promise in which the girls own father is
the defendant.

A strange occurrence has lately come
to light in this County that presents some
rather interesting features, writes Car
thage, Tennessee, correspondent of the
Nashville american. 1t has had the
effect to cause many who have heard the
facts to believe in special acts Of Provi-
dence, and is as strange as some remark
able faith cures. On Defeated Greek,
near Montrose, about eight miles from
this place, there lived until lately an old
man named William Hewitt, who for
several years had lived wandering life
from place to place, having no settled
home. A few years ago the old man
made apurchase Of tract of land, and
together with two small boys paid a por'
tion of the purchase money. From some
shrewd manipulation, however, of his
eldest son, Jack Hewitt, the balance OF
the purchase money was so paid as to-
place him in possession OF the property
with the deed to himself, while the old
man lost his homo. The old gentleman
considered himself most wofully mis-
treated, and he was so disturbed over the
affair that he quit the premises entirely
and led the erratic life spoken of, having
nothing to do with his people. This
went on for several years, when recently
the old man was taken sick, and after
very considerable persuasion from friends
he consented to go back to his sons. For
several weeks he fingered in his sickness,
but saw that he must die. Even in his
weakened condition there was one prayer
which was always on the old mans lips
day after day, and that was that as soon
as he would die every house on the place
should be burned up. The strange pray
er was very little needed by his relatives
and friends, and was looked upon only as
an evidence of childisbness and old age.
On Friday the old gentleman died, and
was laid out in the house corpse, wait
ing to be buried. "A number of the
neighbors and relatives went in to remain
with the body and render any assistance
necessary. 1t was few hours after the
old man died when some one discovered
the kitchen. which sat off from the main
building, to be on fire. Immediately the
company ran to the scene, carrying a
quantity of water. Considerable effort
was made to quench the flames, but, as
related to eye-witnesses, whenever the
water was poured on the burning house
the flames would flash up as though the
water had been oil. Nothing could be
done with the angry flames, and soon
they spread to the main building. The
corpse was taken out and set down in the
yard and every effort made to stop the
flames, but 10 no avail. The two houses
were burned to the ground, and as these
were the only houses on the place the old
mans prayer had strangely been answer
ed. These facts are youched for by eye
witnesses and responsible parties who
know all the particulars.

Two Millions of People without work.

We find in John ,Swinton's Paper q very
interesting article about the first report
of the National Bureau of Labor. The 3
writer finds that the bureau is greatly
mistaken regarding some most important
facts.
For instance, Commissioner WHght
concludes that during the year ending
July 1st, 1885, one million of people I
were possibly unemployed in the; United
States," and that of these 16S, ,750 be-
longed to the group of manufacturing
and mining industries. By careful
examination offs tie facts in the case
Mr.. Swinton's writer concludes that dur
ing the year in question 100000 people
remained without employment from
previous years, and that 100000 agricul,
tural laborers fell out of employment as I
did 100000 clerks, servants and domestic s
laborers, while of manufacturing and
mining laborers those who losttheir occu-
patton were at least 100000. This makes y
it total Of two millions of people capa-
bic of useful industry who in 1856, bys
causes beyond their own control, were
kept in state of idleness, or its equiya-
lent!
Whether the figures be accurate or not,
there can be no question that the army
Of the unemployed in this country has =
now assumed enormous proportions, and 4
there is no present prospect that it will
be much diminished. The cause, which
in every part Of the world has brought
about such condition of things, still
remains in operation, and we can. see no
reason why it should be interrupted. 8
This cause is, in our judgment, the.
maintenance of the gold standard Of
money. There is no doubt that q new
discov ,ry of gold, such as that which
occurred in California and Australia in \
1889, would put an end to this suffer
ing aud restore prosperity. But can such
miracle be expected ?-Nsw York Sum-

terc0urse Win eacn otner, PROVIDED tnaG
they could live without water or some
other mode of quenching thirst was pro.
vided. On this point we have two facts
to consider: l. this new earth. without
ocean or rivers, is to be the home of men
who will dwell in spiritual bodies-bodies
like those of the angels; bodies like that
of Christ after he rose from the dead.
These bodies may not, and probably will
not need just such food and drink as our
present bodies need. 2. We are told in
the twenty second chapter of Revelation
about "river of water of life" which
will flow out of the throne of God and
the Lamb, and through every street of
the New Jerusalem. Is not the New
Jerusalem the new earth? And will not
this wondrous river supply the place of
the present water system? 1t will not
only quench the thirst of the inhabitants
but will irrigate the trees of life, on whose
fruit they will feed, and whose leaves will
be their only medicine. -
Taking all the statements about the
future dwelling place of the redeemed
and about the resurrection body together,
and think we are taught clearly that
our homes as glori6ed saints will be on
the earth where Christ lived and died as
our Saviour; that it (the earth) will be
purified by fire from all that is gross and
corruptible in its present state; that, re.
tanning enough identity with what is now
is to meet the home instinct of our hearts
and to preserve the places around which
gather our holiest associations, it will be
not globe of land and water, but q great
crystal, kind of golden planet-to the
earth of to day what the diamond is to a
lump of charcoal. On this glori6ied
earth the glorifed saints will dwell in
social intercourse and communion with
God, pure and blessful beyond our high
est conceptions. There will be no bar
riers between continents, no separation
into races, tribes and nations; no fur clad
Esquimaux; no half clad savages in the
tropics: but the whole round earth, from
the equator to the poles, will be the
common home of beings who are free
forever from all that wearies or saddens
or separates us on the sin-blighted earth
of to-day.
The details of this Reconstruction are
not revealed to US. We would not un.
derstand them if they we're. But the

for the Legislature who didn't know
whether COW that was lying down got
up behind or before, or how to drive
nail into plank to keep it from splitting,
or whether it was the east wind or the
west wind that brought fair weather, or
whether it was this years wood or last
years wood that produced peaches and
grapes. But still they can make laws
to govern the people. Old age may not
bring wisdom but it brings knowledge,
and so I was little proud that three

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. Is
fS5SL DRAWING NIGH.

Mckinley will be the nominee for
Congressman from this district, and his
friends feel confident of his election
But then he was defeated four years
90, AMI may be again. Mckinley
cannot rely on the rousing majority o
old times from East Liverpool, for
many reasons. The spirit that worked
against him before still has Its ind1
ence among the wOrkingmen. They
feel that he Is an enemy in place Of
being friend, Outside Of the city, in
COlumbians county, still more dlssat
lsfactiOn exists. Judge Laubie's friends
are yet V0wing vengeanre, while Ru-
kenbrOd's tOmahawk T. Ncpt whetted up
to keen edge. In oL4Ik county, Nc
Ktnley's home, he Is not liked. This
is the Democratic county of the district,
ahd can be counted on giving rOus
ing majority for the Democratic nOml-
nee. In MahOning county, as we'll as
COlumbians, Mckinley has heretofore
received large vote owing to the tariff
agitation. The people voted for him
because they believed that If Democrat
was elected he would vote for free trade.
Besides, the tariff was McKiuley's hob
by, and the issue Was worked for all 1t
was worth. But the delusion has been
dispelled In the last four years. The
manufacturers, as we'll as the working
men, feel that the tariff is as safe In the
hands of Democrats as Republicans, and
can no longer be depended upon to
fuTaish the sinews of war to help eleot
Mckinley T any other Republican. They
will feel that their Interests are safe, no
matter who is elected. With this state
of feeling existing, McKinleY's pros
poets are not exceedingly rosy, for out
side o. the tariff he has nothing to rely
upon for an issue, and should the Dem
ocrats select some good man and make
a lively, pushing campaign we feel con
fident that we will again have Demo
cratic OngTessman.-E East Liverpool
