COLUMBIA, May 27.-The body OF all
unknown man was found in the 5usque-
hanna. The man was neatly dressed.
His left leg was amputated below the

that he was fishing in a swift current. fell

was drowned. A boat was also picked
up at Bainbridge on May go. 1t was
painted red and white and named Katie.

At st. Pauls-sunday. A. nj.

Pastor Barrett preached on Sunday
morning from the text, "The searcha-
bis riches of Christ" Figuratively the
preacher took thr,e coins out OF the chest
OF riches, viz: mercy, love and power.
He dwelt upon the fact that we need
mercy and not justice; upon the strength
and power OF love. The speaker thought
there were chr stians who lead good
enough lives and would get to heaven,
but would never have power to work for
souls uutll the power OF the Holy Ghost
rests upon them. He thought the Holy
Ghost 'resting upon them" and the Holy
Ghost ''abiding in them" were two very
different worke.

Tho WORLDS gair of 1892.

Edward Atkinson, the weil-known
writer on political economy, writing on
the subject Of the plan OF the Fair, says:
MY general idea Ia that either by way Of
example, OF pictures, of graphic illustra-
tions and figues. one and all combined,
SO far as may be, the exhisition should
show the progress Of modern art and In
dustry from the prehistoric type, or from
the type Of 1892, down 10 the present
day. For. instance, what q wonderful
exhibit could be made of the progress In
the art OF clothingW
Speaking OF Mr.. Atkinson's suggestion,
A. @. Yates 81 Co., the popular clothiers
In the Ledger Building, Philadelphia,
said that such an exhibit would be highly
Interesting, snd would afford an oppor-
tuni,y TO put American clothing In com-
parison with that OF the world. The
American. no doubt, wears better aud
cheaper clothing than any other people.
No matter how little the American pays
for his clothes, he wants some style 10
them, and that is where our clothing ex-
cells the foreign. A man who buys q
twelve dollar suit will spend as much
time In front OF mirror as the man who
pays twenty-five. We welcome such Gus
tomere, Whather they he man. or hoy. al
we make all our clothing TO meet thi.
popular demand for tasty and good lifting
clothing at Q moderate cost.-FIom thu

The Harrington Court Martial.

The Marine Journal of last Saturday
makes the following statement In regard
to the action OF the Navy Department In
the case of Purnell #. Harrington; "In
the case of Commander Purnell Il. Har-
rington, U. 8. N, the Secretary of the
Navy, in consideration of the unanimous
recommendations of the court to Glenn
ency, based on the high character aud
proies sional ability Of Commander Har-
ring ton, has reduced the time Of suspen-
sion from duty ON waiting orders pay to
one year, to take effect from July %,
1889. The action OF the secretary is
most commendable as far as IL goes. II
might have gone further without injury
to the service, and In justice to Captain
Harrington. In the merchant service a
similar case would not have been SC
severely dealt with If In that service COM
manders of ships were forbidden TO take
pilots. There is quite as much reason for
enforcing 4 rule forbiddiug merchant
marine captains from taking pilots as
there is forbidding naval officers from
doing so.
