TEE CASE OF DAVID Gro RY

David Crosby, a grocer and coal
dealer OF Virginia city, is cursed
with an unfortunate proclivity of
temperament, which is constantly
involving him in personal alterca-
ton. A few days ago he shot a
man dead ard wounded another so
that his life is dispared OF. The
Grand Jury ignored the bill and We
think, from legal standpoint,
they were justified. The men
were following Crosby up and call.
ing to Crosby to "pull your gun"
Under these circumstances, no jury
in this State would convict a man
of murder. At the same time,
the shooting was uncalled for, as
neither the men shot by Crosby
we're armed. People frequently
call upon others to draw, as q bluff,
in this instance, the penalty OF
bluffIng was death. At the same
time, Crosby, after drawing bis
weapon, need not have fired. He
could have covered his opponents
with it and that would have been
the end OF it. There was no occa-
sion for bloodshed until he saw
either of the men make motion
to draw, and this motion would
never have been made.
The taking of human life is q
very serious matter and no man
who wants to stand respected by
his fellows, will resort TO pistols
until it becomes q matter of pro-
tecting his own life and there are
no other means available.
ii our me emory is not at fault,
this is the forth time Crosby has
been in shooting scrspes. He will
probably keep on until he dies
with his boots on.

pocket, did not think it necessary
to use them and while the prisoner

If there is better fashion OF speech than
our own we should not be content until IT

and grieyous error in home and school edu-
cation is that children are allowed to speak
as they like. The house mother who wages
continual war with flies, barricades her
windows against mosquitoes and would go
into mysteries at the suggestion Of the red
Bedouin of the sleepiug-room, allows her
children to double negatives, contract pro-
vincialisms, and enwrap their daily talk in
slang as with garment
She was a wise woman who insisted that
her children should give neat and definite

A Prophecy Of Wendell Philips.

At this time. when Southern resources
are attracting so much attention and
capital, prophecy of Wendell Philips,
the noted abolitionst, il worth repeat
ing. In the course of a speech shortly
before his death he said: The hand
writing is so plain on the wall that none
but fool need mistake it. New Eng
land is doomed just as snre as natural
laws will produce fixed results. New
England has no soil worth mentioning,
and her wealth has all been derived from
her manufactures. These are gradually
leaving her, and eventually they will go;
some to the West, the most to the South,
where the advantages for profitable man
ufacturing are all located. The coal
ard iron in the South are easily gotten
at, are inexhaustible in amount, and
the iron mills, the foundries and ma
chine shops can 60 to them better than
they can be carried to the shops. Then
the cotton and woolen mills must 50
there, for the raw materials are, ard
are to be, produced there most cheaply,
uniformly and better. Then look at the
advantage Of the extra hours of daylight
in years run. This, Of itself, IS no
small matter. AS the Soulh grows
stronger aud stronger the wealth, cul-
ture and power Of the country will be
centered there until she will become,
not alone the mistress Of America, lbut
the central empire Of the world.

Was It q Faith Cure?

Two weeks ago an incident occurred a
few miles below Marion, which is ac-
ccpted by many as an evidence Of the
truth of the doctrine of faith cure, :"
as held by many people in our County.
Carrie Dozier, the twelye-year-old
daughter of Mr.. D. r. Dozier, had been
sick two weeks with rheumatism, and
was confined to her bed She was help
less and had to be carefully and closely
nursed and attended. On Sunday, Au-
gust 25th, she was visited by Rev. Ken
meth Barnes. That day she was appa-
reptly no better than she had been at
any time during her sickness. One who
was there and saw her says there can
be no shadow of doubt as to the serious
ness of her illness that day. During his
visit service of prayer was conducted
by Mr. Barnes, in which special petit
ton was offered for the recovery OF the
girl Immediately after the prayer Mr.
Barnes left, and in few minutes there
after the girl arose, completely restored
to health. Her recovery has apparently
been permanent, as she is now as strong
and vigorous as before she became sick.
Was it faith cure?-Narion hlder.

Danger of False Tenderness.

The danger Of false tenderness in the
training Of children was finely illustrated
at one time in this manner: A person who
was greatly interested in entomology Sc
cured, at great pains, a fine specimen OF an
emperor moth in the larva state. Day by
dav he watched the little creature as he
wove about him his cocoon, which is very
singular in shape, much resembling flask.
Presently the time drew near for it to
emerge from its wrappings, and spread It's
large wings OF exceeding beauty. On reach
ing the narrow aperture of the neck OF the
flask the pity of the person watching 1t was
so awakened, to see the struggle necessary
to get through, that he cut the cords, thus
making the passage easier But alas! His
false tenderness destroyed all the brilliant
co!ors for which this specie Of moth is
noted. The severe pressure was the very
thing needed to cause the flow of fluids
which created the marvellous hues. It's
wings were small, dull in color, and the
whole development was imperfect. How
often we see a similar result in character,
when parents, thinking to help child over
,ome hard places, rob him Of strength OF
purpose and other qualities essential to the
highest attainments in mental and spiritual
iife-Farm and FireSiGe.

THE NEW COTTON CROP.
September Report Of the National De-
partment Of Agriculture.

September Report OF the National De-
partment Of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, September 1O.-The cot
ton report of the statiStician of the De-
partuent Of Agriculture for September
represents the crop as comparatively
late. Too abundant moisture is gener-
ally reported, producing rank weed
and retarding the development of the
bolls. Rust has appeared quite gener-
ally on sandy uplauds. The gray soils of
the Atlantic coast show the most rust.
Red lands and heavy soils have
been less effected or entirely e1-
empt. Drought has not been
reported except in the light pine lands
of Mississippi, similar soils in Louisiana
and ina considerable part of Texas: In
these districts there was abundant
moisture till June or July. There has
been a considerable dropping Of forms
and of young bolls IN the areas most
affected by the extremes of moisture and
temperature. The plants are still grow
ing and blooming in most locations,
though in light soils bolls are small and
and not developing rapidly.
The general average OF condition Is
$50, against &c. 3 last month and S3.e
in September of last year. State avessges
are as follows: Virginia 81, North Caro-
lima 70, South Carolina 81, Georgia 90,
Florida "a, Alabama 81, Mississippi SO,
Louisiana 81, Texas 81, Arkansas 80,
Tennessee 81.
The presence of the caterpillar and
boil worm is reported in all the Cult
States and in Arkansas. The. first
brood of the former has webbed up, and
preparations are generally made for q
vigorous use of Paris green and
London purple, which have been very
effective with the first generation. The
damage has been slight East OF the
Mississippi and not generally serious
further West.
With a few exceptions, correspond
ents recognize the large value in the
present crop of the factors of good au
tumn weather and late killing frosts IN
determining the aggregate of production.

Nav Murder, But Not Steal.

The Stanford (Ky.) haterior-Journal
has an interesting story about a drum.
mer's adventures in Harlan and Bell
Counties. While asleep in a noun
taineer's cabin the trave!ing mans pan
falcons were stolen, and the owner hav-
ing but one pair, the drummer was COM
PEELED to drive four miles without any.
There is something strange about this,
the commission of theft in the noun
tains. This is a crime practically un-
known there. a man who might shoot
YOU with a Winchester from behind a
tree would never think of taking your
property. If stealing is going on it has
been introduced by the fast encroach-
ing railroads. If that mountaineer had
been at home when the drummer got up
he would have loaned him his only pair
of brooches to wear away.-Louasoatte

The Haunted Gear.

"Uneasy lies the head thapwears a
crown" is an old and often quoted say
ing, but no ruler of modern times has
been made more sensible of its truth
than the Car Alexander. Who was it
that also remarked that "Russia is a
despotism tempered by assassinationp
This, also, is true, and no precautions
taken by the Car can relieve from the
constant apprehension that some
desperate act Of some desperate
man or body of men will ulti-
mately bring about his death. Even in
his summer palace, surrounded as it is
by double Gordon OF guards, letters
have been found warning him of his
doom. He has been shot at and at
tempts have been made to blow him
up with dynamite, and on bis last
Journey to the interior an accident oc-
Cured to the train in which he was,
with loss of life, and no one knows to
this day whetherit rose from defective
rail or was the work of conspirators. In
his summer palace he shifts his sleeping
place from one room to another, and
that in which he sleeps is said to be
kept secret from all until the next morn
ing. There may be exaggeration in this,
but there is no exaggeration in the pre-
cautions taken to protect his life: The
coaches of the new train in which ne
travels are covered with iron armor
and lined with cork. 1t consists
of several saloons so completely
covered that no one can tell from the
outside where one saloon begins and the
other ends, or in what compartment the
Car may at any time be found. Every
mile of the railroad undergoes a rigor-
Gus examination beforehand, and guards
are stationed at intervals to be ready
for any emergency. 1t would be ques-
lion with most men whether life would
be worth living under such circum-
stances. But the Gar is compelled to
bear his heavy burden as best he may,
while with an apparently infexible will
he continues to exercise his despotle au-
thority and trusts to the vigilance of the
special police of the third section" to
protect him from the conspiracles that
are constantly being organized for his
destruction.

A Family Of ElopeTs.

4 romantic ceremony was performed
at Jackson, Miss, Monday night by
Rev. Frank Hallam of St. Andrew S
Episcopal Church. The contracting par
ties were DR.. Robert Lowry of Canton,
and Miss Mary J. Foote of Oakland,
California. Miss Foote, who is the
daughter of Henry S. Foote, one Of the
California State Supreme Court com
missioners and formerly a citizen of
Mississippi, was visiting relatives IN
Canton, where she met young Lowry,
son of Governor Lowry, and a practic-
ing physician of that city. An attach
ment sprang up between the two, and it
is supposed that on account of the
Youthful age of the young lady her
relatives objected to q wedding, but
love laughs at locksmiths, hence the
elopcment to Jackson. Governor Lowry
has eleven children, nine of whom are
now married. One of his daughters
and two of his sons eloped.

The Beauty Of Kindness.

What-a beautiful quality is kindness!
How i soothes the careworn! How II
cheers us when we are sad and respondent!
1t costs very little to administer it, and yet
it carries with it heaven Of sweetness.
Life at best possesses large share OF bit
tcrness, and has so much need for kindly
words and kindly sympathy and kindly as
sistance. Many sad heart on every hand
is almost breaking for want Of some loving
one to share it's burden. And these aching
hearts do not comprise the few OF earth,
but the many; in reality, they include
nearly all of mankind. The secret balm OF
healing for all these wounded hearts is
simply that loving kindness which IS the re-
suit Of living for others, each one forgetting
self and sharing the heart-ills of others.
Obi let us become dead to self and live for
one another; then we have heaven here
Bear ye one one another's burdens and SC
fulfill the law''-Home.

fairly tired of reading the various good
things the young applicants for the place

was written on very much soiled and
crumpled piece OF paper that had never
been very white, and ran as follows:
"I'm - wears old. | haint got no father
ror muther. I'm an orfen and I've got

TERRIFIC ITALIAN HAILsToRN.
a Most Extraordinary Phenomenon Wit
messed at Villafranca, Piedmont.

News has just been received here,
says Paris dispatch, Of an e1traordi-
nary phenomenon which occurred a few
Gays ago al Villafranca, in Piedmont.
The peasants were engaged in the
fields in taking in the harvest when sud
denly a dull, rolling sound was heard,
and the sky became as black as ink.
There was no thunder or lightning,
but few hails,ones of enormous size
fell. some penetrating into the ground
and others rebounding to distance of
several yards.
This preliminary shower ceased for
some minutes, during which the peasants
crept under the carts and haycicks in
their neighborhood. Some, however,
were unable to find shelter, and when
the storm was over they were in a pitla-
BILE condition, with the blood flowing
from their numerous wounds.
A boy OF Is and a girl of II had their
skulls fractured and expired few hours
afterward. More than a hundred per-
sons were badly hurt.
The weight of some Of these monster
hallstones is estimated in the reports at
two pounds. The crops have been totally
destroyed, many of the trees have been
wrecked, aud the roofs of the houses and
cottages considerably damaged.
