Evidences of ones own Christianity often
appear not merely from inward assurance,
but from realization OF the help the Chris
tan faith affords in the ordinary relations
of life. A young man appearing before an
examining committee was asked how he
knew that he was converted. II find it
easier to control my temper" was the mod
est reply. And another young man to
whom similar question was once put,
said that he could get along better with his
employer That is the kind of faith which
would suit the apostle James.

The Value Of Words.


Who can estimate the value of wOrdsy
Whether for good or evil their influence is,
so great that we might well consider, before
speaking the thoughts that may make or
mar the happiness of fellow being. But
heedlessly they are sped on their way as far
beyond recall as the pebble cast into the
sea, and happy indeed may the speaker be
who has no need to regret them.
When any great sorrow Overtakes one,
whom we love, we are apt to think that.
since no material good can be offered, our
words will be empty consolation. But in
the true words of warm heart there is the
only balm. perhaps, for the grieving friend.
The quick response to the need of sympathy
is the truest token of affection. and the
words of love and consolation sink deepest
when grief has made the heart tender.
Like ray of sunshine. the bright. cheer
full greeting warns the heart chilled by the
thoughtless indifference of others. and
few kind expressions cause the world to
look bright and seem bt tier
If we have not much to give, let US at
least not be sparing of kind words. They
may be worth more than gold or gems. and
cherished long after we have forgotten that
tney were uttered.
That was pathetic story told of an
Arabian lost in the desert, and wandering,
on foot, through the burning sands, almost
perishing with thirst. Suddenly he espied
a small leather bag on the sand. dropped by
some passing traveller. JOyfully he quick
ened his tagging footsteps hoping that the
contents of the bag might prove to be dates
or some fruit to quench his thirst and re-
fresh his weary frame He seized the bag
and opened it. and then in accents Of de-
spair exclaimed, Alas! they are only
pearls!''
What is the use of wealth unless it can
relieve the wants of a human being, and it
may be that few loving, kind and cheering
words from the heart will be of greater
value to the recipient than any costly gift.
For loving words alone have power
True comfort to impart,
And gold and gems never known
To satisfy the heart

Good Cheer Corner.
No one is hopeless as long as he can
pray.
The love that sacrificed it's life for us, is
not a love that fOrgets.
Who does the best his circumstance allows,
Does well, acts noby; angels could do more
Hold the reins loosely, and God will lead
you.
How often He uses memories as links in
the golden chain by which He would bind
us to nObler future.
A sunny temper gilds the edges Of life's
blackeSt cloud.
All discouragement comes from the
thought that God loves us less than we
thought He did.
Do something. anything, to cause the sun
to shine more brightly on the clOuded lives
of Respondent fellow creatures about you.
That is the one thing worth being in this
world for.
We often do more good by our sympathy
than by our labOrs.
Everything good in man thrives best when
properly recognized.

! stood on Sunday morning
Before large church door;
The congregation gathered,
And carriages score.
From one outstepped lady
oft had seen before.
Her hand was on a prayer book,
And held vinaigrette;
The sign of mans redemption
Clear on the book was set.
Above the cross there glistened
A golden cOronet.
For her the obsequious beadle
The inner door flung wide;
Lightly, as up ballroom,
Her footsteps seemed to glide;
There might be good thoughts in her,
For all her evil pride.
But after her woman
Peeped wistfully within,
On whose wan face was craven
Life's hardest discipline.
The trace of the sad trinity
OF weakness, pain, and sin.
The few free seats were crowded
Where she could rest and pray.
With her worn garb contrasted
Each side in fair array.
Goods house holds no poor Sinners"
She sighed and walked away.
Old Heathendom's vast temples
Hold men of every state;
The steps of far Benares
Commingle small and great;
The dome of Saint Sophia
Confounds all human state;
The aisles of blessed Peter
Are open all the year;
Throughout wide Christian Europe
The Christians right is clear
To use Gods house in freedom.
Each man the others peer,
Save only in that England,
Where this disgrace 1 saw
England, where no one crouches
In tyrannys base awe
England, where all are equal
Beneath the eye of law.
Yet there, too. each cathedral
Contrasts its ample room;
No weary beggars resting
Within their holy gloom;
No earnest student musing
Beneath the famous tomb.
Who shall remove this evil
That desecrates our age
scandal great as ever
IcOnoclastic rage?
Who to this Christian people
Restore their heritage?

Early Historical References to the Custom
 of Shaving the Face.

Early Historical References to the Custom
 of Shaving th~ Face.
 The earliest reference to shaving is found in Genesis xii, II, where we read that Joseph, on being summoned before the King. shaved himself There are several directions as to shaving in Le- viticus, and the practice is alluded to in many other parts of Scripture. Egypt is the only country mentioned in the Bible where shaving was practiced. In all other countries such an act would have been ignominious. Herodotus mentions that the Egyptians allowed their boards to grow when in mourn ing. So particular were they as to shay ing at other times that to have neglect ed it was subject of reproach and ridicule, and whenever they intended to convey ;he idea of man of low con- dition and slovenly habits the artists represented him with beard. Unlike the Romans of a later age, the Egyp- tians did not confine the privilege of shaving to free citizens. but obliged their slaves to shave both beard and head. The priests also shaved the head. Shaving the head became customary among the Romans about 300 B. c. According to Pliny. Scipio Africanus was the first Roman who shaved daily In France the custom of shaving arose when Louis XIII. came to the throne young and beardless. The Anglo Saxous wore their boards until, at the conquest. they were compelled to fellow the example of the Normans who shaved From the time of Edward III. to Charles l. bear,ls were universally worn. In Charles IT. reign the mus tache and whiskers only were worn, and soon after this the practice of shay ing became general throughout Europe. ! The revival of the custom of wearing the beard dates from the time of the Crimea. lS54-55. All the Teur Round.

The "Hendys" Not Satisfied with Their
Treatment There.
The Hendy Base Ball Club returned from
Augusta yesterday morning. after playing
two match games with the Shamrocks of
that city. The boys do not like the way
the Augustiaus treated them in Tuesday s.
game. On Monday the score stood to 2 in
favor of the Hendys, and Tuesday,
the boys say, the Shamrocks de
termined to win the game OF else
swindle them out of it. At fine end of the
ninth inning the score stood 4 to 4. The
Augustians pushed their way into the dia-
mond at the end of this inning and pre-
vented any further playing, and the Hendys
withdrew from the grounds. the Hendys
say the umpiring was ''rotten," and what
the Shamrocks said went" with the man
who pretended to umpire In Tuesdays
game, Corish pitched and Schreck caught.
The Shamrocks thought they had soft
snap when the game was opened, but they
were mistaken, and every one Of them
showed disappointment when they famed"
out under the young pitcher. The Hendys
are proud of their new pitcher, and
they say he will develop into the
best pitcher Savannah has ever had. The
game on Tuesday In Augusta was the first
match he was ever in, and his playing sur
prised every body.

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty we'll as far as it
goes-but it doesn't gof far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Ia a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added TO our
stock ii various ways new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we s0iU sell very
close to move some of it. This IL good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver tsbls ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adol nment we offer line par eccelEence cf
Ladies' G2e Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give no0. They
will keep, and you will save money

THOUGHT McALp1N WAS KNITTED.

Mr. Westcott said after the inquest that
he had no doubt that DevantZ had given
McAlpin fatal stab when he saw the latter
loose his hold upon the negro and stagger
head down against the building. MIR. Fur
Der said Yes. Thought he had cut George
with razor" Mr. Furber, who was on a
Whitaker street car, saw the scutfie and
jumped off to 20 to McAlpin's relief, but he
said that lie could rot get hoid Of Devautz
who, while trying to get something out of
his pocket kept McAlpn between him
and Wescott. McAlpr, when he
recovered his footing, got the revolver
from OCornor and started in
pursuit and fou d Devantz where he had
fallen, and stayed with him until an officer
came up and took the wounded man away.
He then returned to the store and took
Westc0tt to the barracks, Officers Wall and
Collins accompanying them Westcott sur
rendered voluntarily.
The revolver was Georgia Hussar Colts,
a. caliber, double action. In the excite
nent, when Mr. Westcot5 turned TO stop
the unknown negro, he picked up the re-
volver at random and hastily loaded it with
Al caliber Russian cartridges. Five shots
were fired, aut the inaccuracy of aim is
accounted for by the use Of the cartridges,
which were IA SIZE too small.

on "Bulled" Telegram.
The case of ]. s. Collins & Co. VS.. the
Western Union Company, which has been
pending since last November in Justice
Russells court, came up yesterday. Collins
& Co. were represented by Charlton G.
Mackall, and Capt. Robert Falhgant repre-

Oct 81 Of last year Collins & Co., who
were under contract with II. Boyer & Son
of Charleston, to take so much fruit from
their vessel, wired them the following mes
sage:
SAVANNAH, Oct 81, 1887.
H. Boyer d Son, Charleston:
Ship 1000 cocoanuts, 200 punches bananas.
Cavanaugh's vessel in; cover fruit well; weather
cold. j. s. COLLINS & Co
In transmitting the message the telegraph
operator made q "bull, and the message
read: 900 punches bananas" When the
fruit arrived Messrs. Collins & Co wrote
Boyer a. Son that they had sent 300 punches
in excess of their order, and asked why it
had been done They received copy Of
the dispatch, which read $500" in
stead of "2O0." Immediately upon
receipt of this letter, Mr.. J. s. Col
Inns called on Manager Merrihew
but was unable to secure any satisfactory
settlement. He was advised by counsel to
take legal steps to recover an actual loss of
$57 80 on the bananas. He notified the tele-
graph company that the bananas would be
sold on their order and bill of sale would be
rendered. The lot of 800 surplus punches
was disposed of at loss of $57 80, which
MIR. Collins is trying to recover. The de-
cision will be made this morning in Justice
Russell's court
