Swinton's History has been with

Swinton's History has been with
drawn from the public schools of Bos-
ton, on the ground that it misrepre-
sents the Roman Catholic doctrine of
indulgences. The following is the
passage which was objected to: "These
indulgcnces were, in the early ages of
the Church, remission of penances inn
posed upon persons whose sins had
brought scandal on the community.
But in process of time they were rep
resented as actual pardons of guilt,
and the purchaser of indulgence was
said to be delivered from all his SINS"
London has Christian Police Asso-
citation, with a membership of 1900.
1t is only five years since the associa-
ton was started, and it has prospered
beyond expectation. It contains at
present 153 branches, which extend
us far as Singapore, Tasmania, South
Africa, and Canada.

good at once will never do anything.

JOHNSTON, S. c., July 80, 1883.
Monday morning.

Dear Neighbor::
Everybody is thankful for the good
rain that fell last night on this town
and, l suppose, for milesaround. Fol-
lowing as it did four days and nights
of worship and business of putting,
tanning and sweating, the spirits OF
the citizens and delegates" were re-
freshed even as were the wilted and
parched plants Of the thirsty gardens
and fields.
Johnston is q live town all the time
and is taking on and in more life all
the time. Besides her-l9 or 20 stores,
five church buildings, academy, &C.,
there is the Weekly Edgefeld Moni-
tor, with the level headed and indie
pendent editor, L. w. McLenna, who
is also Mayor of the town. There will
soon be one if not two banks estab-
lished in this same town.
From Friday morning to Monday l
did not see or hear of drunken man
nor breathe a liquor-tainted atmos-
phere any where I went. | was in a
number of business-houses and also
the homes of friends and walked more
or less Oh nearly every one of the more
public streets of the town. Not that L
had no home to stay at but accepting
some of the many invitations of old
friends TO call to see them. With
Brother l.. r. Smith, delegate from
Upper St. Matthew, had and enjoyed
the warm-hearted hospitality Of the
home of my old friend, that same Nc
Lenna who still turns out mill stones
from the celebrated Clouds Greek
quarry to grind corn and wheat even
in this and other States of the Union,
even as he occasionally grinds up a
politician or such like in the Monitor
exceeding fine.
These Johnstonians handled the
Conference in fine style from the be-
ginning to end, and appeared willing
to keep on but the grip sacks, UNI
brellas and streaming busters on the
streets this morning drifting to the
depot seemed to say there is something
else to do after the pleasures and
profits of District.
The meeting with friends of nearly
forty years standing and with many
young people who came up and let me
know that they We're the SONS and
daughters of my old friends-some
gone, some still living, all this and
much else like it was refreshing even
somewhat embarrassing to my old
young heart.
Besides the pleasure Of meeting my
brethren in Conference and hearing
from others able and cdifying sermons
and addresses, my visit to town OF
Johnston is one of the evergreen spots
Of my pilgrimage. 5. II. B.

Better Go Slow.

The State had better 60 slow on the
immigration question. We are getting
on very we'll now, with homogene-
Gus white population and the colored
population tractable, contented and
comparatively prosperous. But with a
horde of foreigners, with unpronoun-
ceable names and irreconcilable ideas
of government, there would be danger
of turmoil and trouble, social and
itical.-New5erry Observer.

The Check.R Rein.

Mr. Henry Bergh is responsible for
the following vigorous statement:
Mr.. Fleming, army veterinary in4
spector, gives the following twelve rea-
sons against the bearing-rein: ss
|. 1t is an unnecessary expense TO !.
purchase it. ~
2. 1t tadds to the weight of the haE-
ness and the time required to clean 1t.
8. 1t wearies the head and neck OF
the horse by the constrained, unnat-e
ural position in which they are fixed:
4. 1t spoils.. the appearance of the
horse, and largely detracts from his
free and graceful movements.
5. The long-continued pressure on
the lower jaw tends to give the animal
a hard mouth, and therefore renders 1t
less obedient to the drivers rein.
6. 1t does not prevent stumbling,
but, on the contrary, predisposes the
horse to fall, and with much more
severity than if it were not used. ~
7. In hot weather or during extreme
exertion it may directly or indirectly
produce an attack of giddiness or ap-
oplexy-the last probably terminating
in death.
s. In heavy draught, in addition to
the torture it occasions, it causes q
large portion of the horse's power to
be lost, from the animal being unable
to get his head and neck, down, and
thus to throw more of the weight Of
his body into the collar.
8. The powerful muscles which
pull forward the shoulders and indi-
rectly the fore limbs, and which are
attached to the head and neck, are by
it placed in the least favorable position
for exercising their function, so that
the horses action as we'll as its speed
and strength are impaired from this
mechanical disadvantage.
10. 1t causes pain and distress in
breathing. .
II. 1t tends to distort the upper
part of the wind-pipe and causes "roar-
ing" ,.s,y.,
IL. 1t frets the temper of nervous
and excitable horses, and shortens the
lives of all.
We will conclude with the words of
Mr.. George T. Augell, president of the
Massachusetts, Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals, as they
echo the result of our own investiga-
tions, and as we share his convictions
that the real reason why this cruelty
has not been remidied is simply be-
cause so many persons have never
thought about it:
"Tbe foregoing are only a fewIof
many European and American author
tiles, which have found to the same
effect, and I have searched the books in
vain for single line to the contrary"
II can only conclude, as the result
of my examinations, that the custom
of tying up horses heads with check
reins, like the custom of bleeding
calves before they are killed., is a relic
of barbarism, contrary alike to COM
mon sense and scientific opinion, and
which has been permitted to exist so
long because it has been no body's bus
mess to call public attention to il"

Happiness depends not OH what one
has, but on what ono is. He who is
of a cheerful spirit will be cheerful in
in all his privations. He who is of !;
complaining spirit will never lack oc-
casions of complaining. II is not
ones possessions or ones surroundings
hut ones way of looking at his posses
sions and surroundings, that settles
the question of ones chcrrfulncss,
wherever he is, or whatever he has.
1t may be said that the hardest thing
in the world is to do right ones sell
and the easiest thing in the world is tc
see where others fall short of doing
just right.
