improves, with many indications OF
a good Fall trade. Manufacturing
is more active, and labor is better
employed. Railroad earnings show
gains as usual, and the belief that
wars will not last has Strengthened.
On the whole, the feeling has de-
decidedly improved, and the actual
situation also. The latest advices
regarding the crops are favorable,
because they indicate that the inln-
RES undeniably sustained are not so
serious as many apprehended. Wheat
has declined over a cent, and the
slow export demands is still the
prevailing feature, though foreign
crop adyices are gloomy. The treasu-
ry has taken in about $500, 900
more money than it has paid out
during the week, Notwithstanding an
advance in the rates paid for bonds,
and an increase of 81 900, 900 in the
deposits with banks, but the re-
serves of cash at New York are so
large that there is general conf
deuce as to the moneytary future.

The September Number of s'Pe-
terson" is so good, that it makes
one understand why this magazine
has been favorite for nearly half
a century. The illustrations are
irst-class, and given without stint.
The opening article is a capitally-
written paper of John Bunyan, en-.
riched by a number of interesting
aud weIl.executed designs. There
is beautifully illustrated poem,
and the stories are, as whole, even
better than usual, and that is saying
a good deal. .'The Career of the
De Cendrons," by Katharine Nc
Tlvalne, is quite equal to her popu-
lar story, "The Mountain Wizard !:
and, if Miss Bowman's serial, ''Es-
cula Plus in Acadia" goes on as it
begins, it will prove her very best
effort. ga London Success" steadi
ly increases in interest; thus far, we
consider it superior to the novel
ga transplanted Rose, which
made the author so enviable repu-
tation as a writer Of society tales.
There is not story or poem but
deserves praise. There are some
of the prettiest costumes and nee
dlework-patterns that ever delight
ed woman's eye, also practical
article on cosmetics and their use.

THE TUNE THE OLD Cow DIED ON,
This expression, although so
common, is rather mysterious, and
probably but few of those who use
it know what it means, or what is
its origin. In Scotland and the
north of Ireland it is often used to
characterize music of an especially
mournful and melancholy charac-
ter. The expression arose from an
old song
There was an old man and he had an old
COW,
And he had nothing to give her
So he took put his fiddle and played her a
tune:
Consider, good COW, consider.
This is no tins of year for the grass to
grow
Consider, good COW, consider"
There is an ethical value to these
verses which will be appreciated
by those who are blest with friends
and relatives who delight to give
good advice and to administer Sc
rious counsel. How many we'll
mentioned people have we known
who, in time of trouble, stake out
their fiddles and play US a tune"
about as soothing and helpful as
Consider, good COW, consider"

The'gavel'used by the President
of the Mississippi Baptist Conven,
lion was made from the sill of the
first Baptist Church built in the
State. AS an interesting bit of
history we extract The following
from the columns of the Clarion
Ledger:
III 1870 a colony of South Caro-
linilns settled on Coles Creek,
about twenty miles southeast oil
NAtchez. The greater number OF
this colony were Baptlsts, and
among them was a licensed minis
ter OF the gospel, Richard Curtis,
Jr. AT the close Of The year they
organized the first Baptist Church
in Mississippi, which they called
Salem, and Mr.. Curtis was chosen
pastor. The organization was sim,
ply a voluntary association of bap-
TIED believers in Christ, who
agreed TO keep house Tor God,
and called themselves a
Church of Christ. The PASTORS
labors were greatly blessed and
many persons were converted to
Christianity. The country was
then under the denomination of
Spain. GayOso, the commandment,
sent a threatening letter and ex-
postulated with Curtis upon his
course. Curtis responded bluntly,
and was arrested and imprisoned
by the Catholics in Fort Rosalie,
the ruins of which are still visible
on the bluff a little below the city
OF Natchez. After awhile he was
released with the injunction TO
preach no more publicly. His GEL
ebration of the rites of matrlmony
in other than papal forms furthur
provoked the wrath of the priests,
and to escape their cruelty he re.
turned to South Carolina, where he
was regularly ordained TO the COS.
pei ministry. About 1897 when
the Natchez country passed into
the hands of the URited States,
Curtis returned and ministered un.
TO his flock. The Baptists had
rest and greatly prospered. Many
other churches were soon constitu.
ted In 1906 the Mississippi Bap-
tist Association was formed, and at
the request Of tins body in 1886 the
Mississippi Baptist Convention was
organized. From one Of the stills
Of old Salem Church the gavel
which President Hall now uses was
made.
