A Duty to be Performed.

1t will be generally regretted that
under the laws of Mississippi prize
fighting is a misdemeanor and not a
felony. The admirable work Of the
Nashville police is, therefore, labor
lost. The court was obliged to re-
lease their captive when it was shown
that while prize-fghting is punishable
by heavy fine and imprisonment in
Mississippi, it is made amisdemeanor,
and, therefore, not extraditable. No
matter how often the brutal pair are
arrested, they must be released as soon
as this fact is made to appear. They
are not likely to return to Mississippi
and Gov. Lowry may as well fold his
hands and accept the inevitable. 1t is
in the nature OF public calamity that
the two bullies cannot be clothed in
the garb OF convicts and made to serve
the State whose dignity they have in
suited.
The next best thing, however
is to bring the Sheriff who failed to dc
his duty to account Gov. Lowry owes
it to himself and to his people to see
that this is done.--Ayalanche.

A Pulpit Millionaire.

A minister of the Gospel who, ac-
cording to a New York gossiper is
daily seen on Fifth avenue taking
and enjoying the promenade is DIR.
John Hall, who has made million
out OF the pulpit, and who is in every
sense the fashionable clergyman OF the
day. If you happen in his church on
Sunday morning and know the oc-
cupants of the various pews, and know
also their financial rating in Wall
street, you could count enough money
kings to represent an aggregate for
tune of $400,000,000 First and fore
most in the congregation is little old
man with brownish-red beard, who is
responsible for Dr. John Halls COM
ing to America, for be it known that
Hall is an Irishman, and like many
others of that favored land, has a CO.
pious flow OF choice words. This little
old man is Robert Bonner. Bonner
heard him in Dublin one beautiful
Sunday morning and was so struck
by his oratory that he called on him
and invited him to come to America.
This DIR. Hall did in time, and to-day
he is the leading pulpit orator OF this
city, with an income ranging any
where from $4,000 to $100O0Oj $780,,
900 is paid him as pastor Of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church; $4,000
more is paid him by Mr.. Bonner, or
rather his sons, for weekly contribu-
ton to their story paper.
His wealthy congregations pay him
$4,000 year more in gifts, and the
wealthy young men and the wealthy
papas of the upper ten in New York
pay him magnifcently for his services
in marrying their sons and daughters.
He has managed by investment to ac-
cumulate 81 100000, yet he gives lib
orally to the poor and supports nu-
merous charities. There is perhaps no
preacher IN the United States who is
so independent as he. Like all true
Irishmen, he likes plenty Of outdoor
exercise, is good walker and believes
in the good things of this life. With
Mr.. Bonner he frequently bowls
through Central Park, and he knows a
good horse nearly as well as that ex-
pert. He lives in a gorgeous house,
surrounded by every luxury and a re-
tinue OF servants. His library is a
revelation even to men who love
books, and from the stiff-necked butler
who admits you at the door to the
smallest and most unimportant person
in the house there is evidence of solid
ity and wealth that is encouraging to
young men who wish to grow mp in
the ministry.

her father in 1874. A few weeks after
their arrival they accepted an invita-
tion from President Tyler to attend q
pleasure excursion down the river on
the war steamer Princeton. The fes'
tivities on this occasion were sadly
marred by the explosion of gun on
the vessel, causing loss of life. Among
those killed was Miss GARDENERS father
His body was taken to the White

dent, owing to the peculiar circum
stances attending her fathers death.
President Tyler's first wife had dice

A Southern Exploring Expedition.

The. Manufactures Record of Bal
timOre, which is ever working for the
advancement of the South, has under
taken one of the greatest enterprises
OF the day. With view to making
known to the world the vast wealth of
the unexplored mineral and timber
regions of the South, which railroads
have not yet been opened up to public
Investigations, that progressive journal
has organized fully equipped explor-
ing party, under the management OF
Major Goldsmith Bernard West, OF
Birmingham, noted expert in the ex-
pert OF mineral regions. In making this
announcement in its last issue, the
Manufactures Record says 1--WE have
arranged to place at once in the field
an expedition, scientific and practical
whose duty it-shall be to visit, investi-
gate and report upon all the mineral
districts of the Southern States. This
expedition has been organized solely
by The Manufacturers Record and
the reports of its work will appear
only in this journal. 1t is estimated
that the mission will last six or eight
months. Major West will be assisted
by scientific staff of his own selee.
ton, and will remain in the field for
the next six months. Outside of the
several districts with which Major
West has been intimately connected
he will carry with him a regular force
and proceeding on horseback, camp
by the way. Generally, he will have
the assistance ofan engineer and ge-
ologist, timber expert, secretary
and necessary servants. The idea oil
the expedition is not to jump from
place to place by rail, but to go
through the country in a leisurely
way, study its climate, conditions, re-
sources and opportunities, and to give
the public an unprejudiced and intel
ligent report" This is undoubtedly
one of the most remarkable instances
of enterprise which any paper in this
country has ever undertaken, and is
far ahead of anything of the kind ever
before projected by any weekly jour
nal in America The Manufacturers
Record has done a great work for the
South in the past, and to that it now
adds this brilliant scheme, to accom-
plish still more for this section. The
heavy expense of this Exploring Elk
pedilion will be borne solely by thai
journal.

Hunger is the Best Sauce.

AS a rule, person who has good
appetite has good health. But how
many there are who enjoy nothing
they eat and sit down to meals only as
an unpleasant duty. Natures anti.
dotes for this condition are so happily
combined in Hoods Sarsaparilla that
it soon restores good digestion, creates
an appetite and renovates and vitalizes
the blood so that the beneficial effect
Of good food is impaired to the whole
