The Blue and the Grey,

Many persons in South Carolina will
remember the Rev. DR.. Bryson who was
several years pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Columbia. DR.. Bryson was
during the war chaplain in chief of the
Confederate army of Tennessee. He
was in Philadelphia during the recent
Centennial Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church. The Philadelphia Times last
week says: cat the Tabernacle Presby.
teriau Church, 9th and Chesnut, the
Rev. J. 81. .Bryson, of Alabama, ex.
moderator of the Southern General
Assembly, preached an eloquent sermon
to q crowded congregation. In alluding
to his presence there that morning, DR..
Bryson said that but q few minutes before
the commencement of the service he had
learned that the pastor, the Rev. DR..
McCook, had been a chaplain to the
Union forces during the late war, while
he had been chaplain to the Confederate
forces.
.sHe alluded to several incidents of
that bloody feud, and then turning to
the pastor, in voice trembling with
emotion offered the hand of peace and
friendship, and in the presence of the
congregation, who rose 10 a body, the
two clergymen shook hands and blessed
each other. 1t was an impressive Incl.
dent and many of the congregation were
visibly affected by it."

Very few people have any idea of
the vast acres Of Government land held
by alien landholders in the United StateS.
The largest tract. 100000 acres, is held
by the Holland Company, of New Mexi-
CO. An English syndicate holds 3,000,.
900 acres in Texas, Sir Edward Reid and
syndicate in Florida own 100000
acres; 1900, 900 acres belong to an Eng
lish syndicate in Mississippi, 1,7O0,0 900
to the Marquis of Tweeda ale, 100000
10 the Phillips Marshall Company, of
London, and 100000 acres to a German
syndicate. These comprise the larger
landholders. There are, however, q score
or more of persons and syndicates owning
less than 100000 acres. The grand total
foots up to 2o,747 900 acres of Government
land held by aliens in the United States.
DIR. Tanner, the faster, lives in
New Mexico, where he has a 1,500.scre
ranch. He is connected with foundling
association, which is intended to show
that the baser passions are aroused princi
pally by the use of animal food. He is
now in Indiana trying to collect forty
infants to experiment with. He thinks
that be can make them all good and
long lived by feeding them one meal a
a day Of light vegetarian diet. The
Doctor himself lives on one meal day,

Josie Is q Freak.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 2.-Henry NJ.
Stanley and the Wandering Jew have a
new rival in little Josie Friend, the ten.
year old son of Mr.. Joseph Friend, resi-.
dent of this city. Josie has a great
propensity for travelling, and ever since
seven years of age he has taken trips in
every direction, and to all parts of the
Union. He is a freak in that his
wandering inclinations are not the result
of trashy literature, but rather natural.
When seven years old, Josie and an
older boy started for Keokuk, Iowa. The
larger boy was thrown off the train, and
had to steal a ride home; but the young
er fellow continued the trip, and reached
Keokpk. The station agent sent him
home. Three months later, he took
another trip to Grown Point, Ind, and
was again shipped back. Nothing
dauuted, he started the next season and
went to New York by way of Buffalo,
staying away three weeks and taking
minute notes on scenery and incidents
along the road. He was shipped home
by the New York police, but escaped at
Kalamazoo, Mich, and, on being taken
in hand again, got away once more at
Michigan City. Here his father got him.
The 18th of last month he was sent home
from school for sliding down the banistera,
but instead of going home he started for
California, getting as far as Glendive,
Mont. The sheriff there sent him home
but he got off at Brainerd, Mimi, where
he was heard from yesterday. His father
expects him home in three or four weeks,
but thinks he will leave again for
California. The only fear his parents
now have is that some accident will befall
him.

A eWidou" in a Bad Box.

The pension board has discovered q
fraud which will probably cause the
implicated parties some trouble. For the
time being the name of the persons and
the county will be kept secret.
The form of the pension application
requires the applicant, if widow, to
swear when and how her husband died,
and to swear that she has not married
again. The verify of this statement has
to be sworn to by two witnesses.
It has been discovered by the board
that one of the many applications from
widows which we're received properly
made out and approved is fraudulent, as
the supposed widow has married second
time, although she signed her name as
the widow of her soldier husband. 2his
places the "widow" and the two men who
swore to the correctness of her statement
in an awkward position particularly so,
as the board proposes to make an example
of them and prosecute the case. 1t will
probably be discovered that there are
numbers of such cases.

The Weather and the Crops.

The following report of the weather
and the crops for the week ending June
2, 1883, has been issued by the South
Carolina Weather Service:
The rainfall has been above the aver
age. Temperature has been about the
average. The amount of sunshine has
been but little.
The weather has been injurious to the
growing crops. Heavy rains have fallen.
This has also interfered with the harves.
ting of small grain.
In the northern counties corn and
vegetables are doing we'll, bnt cotton is
in bad condition owning to heavy rains.
In the middle counties the rains have
delayed the harvesting of oats and wheat.
Otherwise the condition is better than
last week, but crops are grassy. What is
now needed is sunshine.
One southern county reports heavy
hail and wind storm, in which considera-
BILE damage was done.

: Although there have been signs Of
late years that divorce was becoming less
common in some parts of New England,
the change for the better has not yet
affected New Hampshire. On the con.
trary, the report of the registrar of vital
statistics for the year 1886, just publish
ed, shows remarkable and alarming
increase of the tendency since 1870. 10
that year and in 1871 the number OF
divorces decreed was only 149; in 1885
it Was 3S5, and since 1880 it has only
once fallen IS low 273. The average
number for the sevpn years beginning
with 1870 was 2l2, while Co. the seven
years beginning with 1880 it vas SiS, an
increase of so per cent, although the
population of the State was less than 10
per cent larger Ia the second period than
In the first. During 1885 there were ten
divorces to every e;ghty-three marriages
a proportion seldom reached in any
State, and far too large to be viewed
without apprehension.
There are in England s47 female
blacksmiths who actually swing heavy
