"Modern conveniences," in case of accident,
often cause more trouble than the want Of
them Here is a ludicrous example that
illustrates tor at least it shows that people
who wade in rubber pantaloons must keep
right side up. The Harrisburg pa Telegraph
tells the story at the expense Of a well known
minister who is very fond of trout fishing:
A friend made him a present of rubber
trousers, attached to which were heavy boots,
the whole arrangement forming ono piece
He waded in the streams and fished, and
guyed the other fishermen who didn't own
gum trousers, and had lots of sport.
At night, when they came in tired and
hungry, the dominic would be nice and dry
while the other fellows would be more or less
wet, according to their mishaps, and, of
course, would be Chaffed by the minister.
One morning they were all standing on the
bank, watching him wading in deep water,
and envying him, when all of a sudden he
stepped on a slippery stone, his feet went up,

Dr. Prentice, and the Doctor determined to
perform an operation for cataract with iredec-
tOmy-One of the most delicate operations
known to surgery. A knife was inserted be
tween the white and the clear parts of the
eye, and then was forced up until it came out
at the top. The Doctor next cut out portion
of the iris and removed the cataract from be-

THE TA.ERSACLE BURNED.
Talmage's Church in Brooklyn Reduced 10
Ashes--Supposed TO have been Caused
by Lightning Carried in by
the Electric Light Wires.
Especial to the News and Courier.


New YORK, October l3.-The famous
Brooklyn Tabernacle, Of which the
Rev. r. Dewitt Talnlage is pastor, was
to-day, for the second time in its his
tory, totally destroyed by fire
At 2l5 O'Clock this morning a police
man discovered flames issuing from the
small windows over the main entrance,
and rushing to the nearest signal box
be sent an alarm. The fremen found
that the fire had assumed large proper
tons, and additional alarms, calling
out all the available apparatus, were
at once sent.
It became evident that the editice
was doomed. 1t burned like tinder
box, and the tiremen. despairing of
saving it, directed their efforts to the
adjoining property. Many of the oc-
cupants of neighboring dwellings were
awake and the police proceeded to
arouse those who wele sleeping.
The three story frame structure, 1858
Schermerhorn street, adjoining the
church on the east, was the first to take
fire, and $50, q Simular structure, fol-
lowed: 357 was also damaged. On the
west side of the church the flames en-
tended to two brick dwellings, and on
the opposite side ofSchermerhorn street
row Of three story brick dwellings,
numbered 33S to 34S, suffered from the
intense heat. The window glass was
broken and the wood work scorched.
The residents Of the neighborhood,
awakened either by. the roar Of the
flames or by the pounding Of ihe police
upon their doors, became frightened
and rushed out half dressed or in their
night clothes, and the police had great
difficulty in assuring them that they
We're in 10 danger.
Fortunately there was no loss of life
or limb. The police carried out one
Nold lady Of so Years from No. 337 Scher-
merhorn street and placed her in Il
house at safe distance. All the other
inmates were able to care for them
selves.
But while the firemen and police
worked for the salvation of property
and persons the doomed church build
ing was being rapidly consumed, and
in an hours time only the tottering
walls remained.
DR.. Talmage was on the scene soon
after the first alarm, and did not leave
until he had seen the edifice which had
been his pride laid in ashes. Then he
returned sorrowfully home. All day
to-day crowds visited the spot and
gaZed upon the ruins.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Edison's men were in the building un-
til $50 p. m. yesterday, arranging a
new electric plant, and it is thought
that during the thunder storm which
prevailed during the night lightning
had been carried into the building by
the wires they introduced, and which
ran around the gallery about on a level
with the place where the flames were
first seen.
The loss on the church building, in
Guiding the organ, which was one of
finest in the country, is $r50,000. 1t is
said to be covered by insurance in a
number of companies. Losses on ad-
joining property small.

LAURENs, Oct. 12.-The machinery

Such prices seem too much for the
Alliance men, and to-day there are a
large number of bales clad in "kingly
robes," on the public square.
NOT A SUCCESS IN GREENvILLE.
About twenty bales of cotton We're
brought in yesterday by a number of
Alliance meg. who offered it for sale IN
bulk at ten cents. The cotton buyers
offered $50 for it, but the offer was de-
clined aud the Alliance men unhitched
their teams and let the cotton stay in
the wagons in the hope of obtaining the
desired price. In the meantime the
market declined sharply and the result
was that nearly all of the cotton was
sold separately by the owners and the
price paid was much below that at first
offered. The owner of some of the cot
ton carried it back to their homes and
would not sell.

The report of the United States
Agricultural Department for the lst of
October shows only slightly in
creased percentage in the cotton crop
prospect for the cotton States, as conf
pared with last year. The figures are Sl.4
per cent. of full crop, as compared
with 1879 per cent. last October. 81 per
cent. of a full crop is the estimate for
South Carolina, but the estimate for
this State at the same period last year is
not given. Perhaps the estimate, taking
the whole State, is approximately cor
rect; but we believe that the middle
tier of counties, of which Newberry is
one, would go higher.

that the integrity of our institutions

IS IT SO EAD?

At a memorial meeting of Congress
man CoX's constituents ex-Presldent
Cleveland, speaking Of the political
honesty and integrity of the deceased
said: What is the condition of the
times when We may justly and fairly
exalt the memory of deceased public
servant, because he was true and hon
est and faithful to his trust? Are we
maintaining j safe standard of public
dosss dauoss whe2fhe existence of these vir-
tues. instead of being general, is eX-
ceptional enough to cause congratula-
tion?"
Are the times so bad as that, or was
Mr.. Cleveland simply indulging in the
exaggerations ofeulogistic rhetoric, and
exalting the dead at the expense OF the
living? Sunset CoN's honesty and in
tegrity as public man are undoubted,
and he leaves political record which
adds lustre to the history ofhis State
and country, but we are glad to believe
that these virtues are not more eXcep-
tional now than at other times.
Every one is at times prone to i'll
dulge in praises of former times, and to
feel that all worth and faithfulness has
passed away.
This is particularly true with regard
to political life. The heat and violence
of party strife engendera reckless habit
of charging corruption and dishonesty
aaSn political opponents,a and even those
of ouassSp political faith whose actions
do not sq1afeagith our ideas, are often
subjected to hars6sa5 unjust criticism.
But so far as we are inhsSmed, honesty
and faithfulpess to a truso'saasAlic or Of
any kind, never was so common not
to be subject of just praise and cofSS
ulendation. While public man IS
gone who we'll deserves the eulogy
'honest and faithful to his trust" we
believe he has left behind him many
who are entitled to the same high
praise, and foremost among the num-
Der stands Mr.. Cleveland himself.
