requisition licentious young soldier carried
copy OF the Scriptures which, during an action,
was penetrated by ball from the enemy. After
the army had retired from the field this profit
gate youth had the curiosity to examine how
far the ball had penetrated his Bible, and while
he was turning over one leaf after another the
passage which our Minister had chosen as his
text arrested the young soldiers attention. 1t
proved the happy instrument Of enlightening
bis understanding, Of alarming his conscience,
OF changing his heart, and finally saved his
soul. That this same passage. under similar
circumstances, should present itself to me, was
o coincident impressed upon my mind that will
last as long as life. In this connection 1 will
further say it is to be lamented that men of the
sword are more frequently distinguished for
their prohigacy than their piety they are more
in the habit Of imprecatiug curses on them
selves and others than importuning for bless
ings The nature Of the soldiers occupation
tends to inspire him with O degree of hardi-
hood; with defiance Of danger that often
degenerates into forgetfulness, and even def
anoe of his God. His unsettled situation in
life, his want Of the regular ordinances of grace
his exposure to ensnaring company and various
other considerations have o natural tendency to
divert his attention from things divine and
eternal.

A TALK WITH DIR. VEDDER.-The
Rev. DR.. Vedder and wife have returned to
the city and are staying at the Mansio
House on Broad street. DR.. Vedder, in
conversation with Reporter for the Ne,os
and Courier, said that he was in Schenec-
tady, N. Y, on the fateful Tuesday. He
had no intimatioa OF the earthquake until
the following morning, when the morning
papers gave whole page to the terrible
event, with the appalling declaration that
no single word could be received froi1
Charleston.
'The New York Sun contained tho sug-
gestion of tidal wave, said DR.. Veider,
which had swept the dear old city and its
inhabitants out of existence. Fearful as
must have been the reality of what was
suffered here, second only to it was the un-
certainty and suspense endured by me and
mine for more than twenty -four hours, until
telegraphic communication was reopened
Then it was impossible to get private intel
ligence. Dispatches remained unanswered,
and seemingly unnoticed. There was
reason for this, we'll known now, but then
inexplicable. The torture of all those
hours need not be dwelt upon. When the
first tidings Of the awful catastrophe came,
the whole heart Of the people of tho North
seemed to throb with single impulse of
sympathy for Charleston. 1 have never
seen-scarcely ever conceived-so spon.a.
neous, universal aud abouading an emotion
thrilling every class of people. Everything
was forgotten but the historic and beautiful
city and its woes. Having an appointment t
to preach in the church Of my childhood,
I was requested to speak upon the allen
crossing event, and did SO in,the few broke
words at my command, and l am sure no
speaker ever addressed an audience more
in sympathy with his theme, and more con-
sideratc Of his inability to give voice to his
feelings. Assurance of help were given to
every degree and in every form needed,
and this same spirit was manifested every
where and in all ways. All these things
are known here, and I only mention them
because you ask. 1t is an alienation even
Of SO fearful calamity as that which has
befallen Charleston, that the tenderest
thoughts of the whole land have been low
ingly drawn out towards her, and the hand
of help uDgrudgingly and gladly extended
If any heart here desponds for the dear
city, it may find courage 10 the interest Of
oil the country in lis welfare, Let it be
high treason to the glorious traditions OF
Charleston for any one to despair of her
future.

autumn thsy mature and die by the 1st Of
the following June. They are valuable
plants, especially in localities whore ordi-
nary rod clover will not thrive. Our
friends below the head of navigation in our
rivers could have as fine clover pastures in
the spring, from these two plants, as could
DO seen anywhere. Make the ground rich,
SOW plenty of seed in September and
cover them lightly; that is the whole secret
Towards tho last of the month pea-viues
and crab-grass will be ready for moving
and curing. Farmers seem t. be pretty
generally of the opinion that pea vines
should not be cut until young peas form on
them that the peas arc less apt to drop off
then and the vines more easily cured than
at an early stage. If left too late the stems
become woody and hard, and are worthless
as forage. Both extremeties then are to
be avoided. 1t is difficult forage to cure
and opinions vary as to tho best method of
doing it. If one has abundant housc-room,
or the means of providing cheap, temporary
shelters, it is nnquestionably best to put
the vine under cover as soon as they are
fairly wilted, hanging them on poles, or
arranging III some way SO as 10 allow free
circulation of air. A loft with Slated or
open floor is an excellent place to cure this
or any kind of forage. In the absence of
the above appliances the vines may be put
in small cocks-narrow but Highland if
the weather is dry several of these may be
thrown together into a larger cock on the
third or fourth day. Constant regard
should be had to avoid exposing much sur.
face to sun or dew. Hence high aud mar
row cocks arc recommended. 1t is difficult
to have them properly made by ordinary
hands this is one of the things farmer
should personally supervise.
Crabgrass makes very good hay if cut at
tho proper time, which is just as the seeds
arc forming and before they arc ripe. The
seeds drop off readily when mature, and
whatever of the substance of the plant
passes into seeds is thus lost. Cut and
cure, therefore, before tho seed will drop
off and before the stalks become woody.
They are too small to be stiff, but when old
they become woody, nevertheless, and lose

Two GIRLS WEARY OF LIEE.-Dun-
dee, Mich, September 13.-Two young
and pretty girls, named Yctta Yogelsang,
of this place, aud Ada darlington, of Mon
roe, attempted suicide to-day by taking
chloroforu. They were together or the
streets in the forenoon, apparently happy,
but near noon they secured vial Of chIo-
roform and repaired 10 the outskirts of tho
village, where they seated themselves by
the roadside and prepared to die. They
wrote letters saying that it was their last
day upon earth; that no one cared for them
that the people Of Dundee had traduced
them until they wanted to die. They were
discovered in time to save their lives,
though at FIRST it was thought that Miss
Laflington was dead.

DEsTIrUrIoN IN TExAs.-Washington,
Sept. 13.-First Auditor Chenoweth has
just returned from months visit to Texas.
lie gives sad picture of tho desttution
and suffering there on account of the
drought. He is astonished that there has
been so little said on this subject. He says
it is estimated that in Jack County not
twenty bushels of corn and wheat have
come up. The drought extends from be-
yond Fort Worth up into the Pan Handle.
This is fine grazing country and largo
amount of stock is kept there. This year,
however, it has been impossible to supply
the stock with water. People have been
obliged to haul water for household pur-
poses for twenty aud thirty miles. There
arc few running streams aud few artesian
wells. A great deal of stock has furnished.
In large tracts Of country the people have
almost nothing to cat. They made no
gardens and have no potatoes or other vege-
tables. While Judge Chenowcth was in
Texas he presided over several relief meet
ings where people were collecting seed
corn, wheat aud money to send to the suf.
ferers. He says the farmers in the regions
affected by tho drought are generally Of
small means, and depend upon their pro.
ducts from year to year for subsistence.
They thus find themselves Immediately in
want when their crons fail

and for six thousand years science pro-
poses nothing but knowledge, and many
people that know the most are the most
uncomforted2 =.
In the way Of practical relief for all
disadvantages and ell woes, the only
voice that is worth listening to on this
subject Is the voice Of Christianity, which
is the voice OF Almighty God. Whether
have mentioned the particular disad.
vantage under which you labor or not, l
distinctly declare, In the name OF my
God, tina. there is way out and way
up for all OF you. You cannot be any
worse of than that Christian young
woman, who was in the Pemberton mills
when they fell some years ago, and from
under the fallen timbers she was heard
singing, Am Gong Home to Die NO
More"
Take good courage from that bible, all
of whose promises are for those In bad
predicament. There are better days for
you, either on earth or ia heaven. put
my hand
UNDER YOUR CHIN
and lift your face into the light Of the
coming dawn. Have God on your side,
and then you have for reserve troops all
the armies Of heaven, the smallest COM
pany CT which is twenty thousand
chariots and the smallest battalion one
hundred and forty-four thousand, the
lightnlngs OF heaven their drawn sword.
An ancient warrior saw an overpower-
ing host come down upon his small COM
pany OF armed men, and, mounting his
horse, with handful of sand, he threw it
in the air, crying; 'Let their faces be
covered with confusionl" And both
armies heard his voice, and history says
1t seemed as though the dust thrown in
the air had become so many angels OF SUI
pernatural deliverance, and the weak
overcame the mighty, and the immense
host fell buck, and the small number
marched on. Have faith in God, and
though oil the allied forces OF discourage
ment seem to come against you in battle
array, and their laugh OF defiance and con-
tempt resounds through all the valleys
and mountains, you might, by faith In
God, and importune prayer, pick up q
handful Of the very dust Of your humilia-
ton and throw It into the air, and it shall
become angels of victory over all the
armies Ct earth and hell. The voices Of
your adversaries, human and satanic,
shall be covered with confusion, while
you shall be not only conqueror, but more
than conqueror, through that grace which
has so often made the fallen helmet of an
overthrown antagonist the footstool OF Il
Christian victory.

ssHe1-lo! Hello! Central, Wake UP
and Give Me 22,,


''This is outrageous" remarked per-
spring citizen, as he mopped his heated
Uranium and yelled out for the Seventh
time, Hello, Central, give me %"
1t was just about the middle of the day
when this occurred, and business being a
little slack Central was taking a quiet
little nap, and failed to hear the excited
citizens demand for ''22." But when he
did wake mp to full realization of the case,
''22" stock was booming and the excited
citizen was getting ready to ''cuSS and
quit"
Now, in order to make this little matter
plain to the student of ordinary English, we
will state that the excited citizen was at one
end of the telephone, and our Office, ''22,"
was at the other, and he was using up his
lungs trying to get connection with our
establishment through the Central Office.
But as the enterpriSing young party in
charge of Central happened to be map
ping it," our excited friend was slow in
catching on"
Perhaps you'd like to know what all this
row was about. Well, I'll tell you: The
gent who was trying to catch on to 1893"
happened to be reading yesterdays GLOBE
when he struck an item that read:
Square pianos are sacrificed for less than
half their actual value (from $35 to $3.50
to make room for heavy shipments of the
new scale Hallet 81 Davis uprights;;" he de-
termined to telephone his order for one be-
fore they were cleaned out by the sharp
buyers around town. And this was why
he cried out so vigorously, "Hello. Central,
wake up!" And now that I have told you
the truth of the matter. why, come and do
likewise. Ask for Fisher.

I'm FOR HARMONY.
A Democrat Gives His Views of the
Secret NEeetInu

Secret Meeting.
A Democrat, man well known throughout
the state, sat in the lobby of the Merchants
yesterday and conversed with many residents
and visitors who CHANGED to pass into the
hotel. Conversing about the state campaign
and the recent meeting of Donnelly, Buck
Thornton, Lenau. Fuller and others to pro-
test against the present mode of dealing out
federal patronage, he said:
There is q good deal OF unjust criticism of
Kelly and Doran and uncalled-ror criticism
of the appointees to the several offices in
Minnesota The accusation is made that the
successful applicants must get Kelly and
Doran to indorse their claim before there is
any chance of appointment, but nothing is
said about the recommendations which have
been received by these same applicants be-
fore Kelly and Doran are thought of. Now
take it in the case of Baxter, the United
States district attorney. dc was sue
cessful because 1t was thought he
was the best man. He certainly
had the best recommendation not only by the
Democrats throughout the state but also by
the Republicans. His recommendations were
far better than those of the other applicants
and hence his appointment.
"United States Marshal Campbell's case
was very much the same way His recon-
mendations were the very best from men
high in authority, Democrats and Republi-
cans alike, and could not be overlooked if
gOOu man was ueSlred. Kelly and Doran in
dorsed their applications and their appoint
mentS followed, as in other cases. Kelly a nd
Doran are simply acting for the state cen.
tral committee and the latter represents the
last state convention.
NOW if the present plan Of making the
appointments is not generally agreeable. the
best way is for the next state convention to
designate some plan more in keeping with the
views of the majority. There would be no
I'll feeling and the change, if such wss de-
sired could be accomplished without serious
trouble. II would certainly look great desI
better than for g lot OF disappointed Office
seekers to attempt to run tho party and
