Captain Murrell, commander of the
steamship Missouri, received an ovation
here to-day, many thousands greetin G him
at the Maritime Exchange, and shaking
his, hand. He was afterwards presented
to the mayor, and the leading citizens
have started a liberal subscription for a
testimonial for the captain and his officers
and crew. The entire American Press
praises the rescue of the Danmark's pas
sengers and crew. The President Of the
Atlantic Transport Company, which owns
the Missouri, has telegraphed to Captain
Murrell, approving his course, and saying
that the company assumes responsibility
for the jettisoned cargo.
APRIL "a.
The Atlantic Transport Line, the Ow-
ners of the steamship Missouri, have no.
titled the cargo cOnslgneeS that they are
released from all contributions arising from
the ~iettiSon of part of the cargo to make
room for the Danmark's passengers. They
have also notified Captain Murrell OF their
approval of his conduct in making the res
cue and the sacrifice of property, with the
loss of time resulting. Captain Murrell
continues to be the recipient of courtesies
at Philadelphia. He has been presented
With the Humane Society's gold medal,
and was entertained at banquet by the
Society of Sons of St. George last night,
when he was presented with a gold watch
ornamented with diamonds. The Pennsyl-
vania Legislature passed a resolution
thanking Captain Murrell, His ship sails
for Baltimore tomorrow, where another
reception awaits him.
The owners of the Tbingvalla Line at
Copenhagen have instructed their agents
TO pay for the Missouri's jettisomed cargo.

before the Time of Cyrus thousands of the

Persia, first by Heraclius, u twelve
years later by the Arabs, the power of the
Magi OF the ZOrOaStrian sect was Shatter-
ed and the worship ct the Eternal Fire in
the %SuraKhani temple for ever passed
away, and in itS place are now the sym
bOls ct a new cult in the shape of greasy
derricks and dingy Kerosene distilIerieS.

CrOnstadt or Odessa, and the centre of a
vast and rapidly increasing trade. But
even in the thirteenth century the "sacred

that the crude petroleum was extensively

to fetch it, for in all countries round there
is no other oil.'

SADNESS AND JOY.

l sat with open doors one day
To greet the guest that God would send ;
Joy entered, blythe OF step, and gay,
Saying: II come, thy long lost friend
And all the dull and homcly place
Grew splendid, lighted by her face,
But while her radiance filled the room,
A darkness close behind her drew,
A voice sighed inward through tho gloom
''Take her, O friend, but take me, too
With Joy must Sadness enter In
Always, her shadow and her twin"
Dear JOY said, ''sit down with me
Let us to-day shut Sadness out
And prove how perfect life can be
Apart from pain, regret and doubt"
''Not soln said joy, III can not be,
Without her, true friend to thee
''For JOY Is Saddess; but for her
There were no depth within my eyes,
No power within my soul TO stir
Thy soul toward lofty destinies;
Her tears have made my vision clear;
Her yearning heart has led me here"
So by tho freight, pickering low,
STAYS Sadness In q Swallowed place,
Her moist eyes glistening In the glow
OF her sweet sisters rosy face;
know not, while watch them there,
Which one is dearer or more fair,
Silent, lean out over earth
From windows that take In tho sky,
And hear through every burst OF mirth
A wailing undertonc, the sigh
or restless hearts, that in unrest,
More than In happiness, are blest.
Never was Joy yet born below
But Sadness, too appeared her twin;
Yet, from far of heavens, u glow
nlumes tho dusky deeps within;
A glimpse of joys diyiner face,
When tears shall leave thereon no trace
Come, Sadness haunt mo with hig
shame,
For loving things that cheat and cloy
Stay till | learn the dearor name,
The twin numo Of thy sister, JOY
Stay till her eyes I'll mine with fire
OF Infinite, sublime desire!

PREACHER ASSAULTED
WOMAN AT THE BOTTOM.
Excitement Among the Colored Meth odi SITS
Of Edenton.

Thursday night of last week witnessed
one of the most indecent, unchristian
and uncivil scenes ever enacted in this
section. The facts as gathered by Us
were about as follows: The Rev. Rich
ard Dick preferred the charge of F. and
A. against one Rev Dixon, pastor of
the A. NJ. E. Zion church (colored) at
this place, and had him arraigned before
an official body of that church. The
trial created considerable excitement,
especially among the women who,
strange to say, were in full sympathy
with the accused. There was never
such confusion as when the accusant
came out of the church, after the trial
ended. The women gathered, not with
bills, bows and blades" but, with
bricks, pots, pans and pales to wreak
their vengence upon the man who dared
blame their minister, guilty or not
guilty, for criminal intimacy with one
of their sex. They pitched into Rev.
Dick, the accusant, doing him great
injury. One woman struck him on the
head driving the nail. which was in the
end of her weapon IA pale pulled from
fence into it making an ugly wound.
He escaped his assailants only by jump
ping fence hard by and asking for
help. Several men were present but.
they made no show among the sisters
who were all ablaze with excitement
and who clamoured only for blood.
The Rev. Dick had to be guarded to
his home even at a late hour in the
night.
Dixon was found guilty of the charge
preferred by Dick and deposed from the
ministry.
Our Mayor had trial, after the
ecclesiastical business had been dis
pensed with, and as a result two of the
fighting sisters were required to give
bond for appearance at the next term
of Chowan Superior Court. Mr.. Blount
is destined to have a time Of it.
