On the Brink ofn Revolution.

PtTTsBURG, July 23.-Rev. John Q.
Paxton, the famous New York Presby-
terian, in an interview here to-day,
said the Presbyterian church was
undoubtedly on the brink of revolu-
ton. The followers of DR.. Briggs are
opelly defiant, and the general as
sembly and church are underlined
1t was his hope that concession would
be made and Briggs and his followers
remain in the church. OF course, if
they insist the church must accept the
reason as coordinate with the word
of God, that there will be split,

A CONVICT SHOT.
Exciting Times at-the Coal Greek
Mines.
The Governor Refuses to Accept the
Terms of the Miners, and Has Called a
Special Session of the Legislature.

KNoXvmLE, Tenn, July 23.-The
killing of convict named Harris by
one of the guards this morning, caused
great excitement and an outbreak is
feared.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 2S.-Early
this morning Anderson Harris, a
convict employed by the knoxville
Iron Co., was killed by a guard, j. A.
Duncan. Harris stealthily approach
ing George Tarbott, another Of the
guard, commenced to choke him. Dun
can ordered Harris to desist. He not
needing the order, Duncan fired, killing
him almost instantly. Much excite

the proposition for armishce, on the
ground that it would be an implied
compromise with the violators
OF law, and if the legis-
lature declined to comply with
the demands OF the miners they might
be renewed with impunity. The com
mittee disclaimed any threats. but
the governor was firm. There is no
longer any doubt but that he will re-
turn the convicts to the mines at Coal
Greek and Priceville.
The conference committee is
OF the opinion that if they
are returned with only such
guards as are necessary to keep them
in custody, there will be no intcrter-
ence with them until the Legislature
has acted; but if the militia returns
with them they fear a terrible conflict
may follow. The governor will meet
the committee again in the morning.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, July 23.-The

Coal Creek to-day to communicate

said the committee had received con-
cessions and in their opinion the men
ought to make some. This did not
meet with anything like universal sat
iSfaction, but the implicit confidence
the miners have in the leaders was
shown by the unanimous vote to accept
the report of the committee on resolu-
tions. The gist of the resolutions was
that the convicts should be returned to
the mines, the MINERS guaranteeing
they would not be molested. The mill
tia will be ordered home, and sixty
days will be allowed to convene the
Legislature, during which time no con
vict shall be molested and no property
shall be destroyed. and the miners. if
necessary, will place guards to see the
promises are kept good. The miners
committee returned to Knoxville this
evening to confer with the Governor.

THE BATTLE CRY.

Ohio Democrats have followed the

dared to demand for the people all that
people demand for themselves. They
have declared that Ohio is west of the
mountains, and have challenged the
Republicans to stand the vote of the
majority on that proposition.
Undoubtedly they have voiced the
demands of the Western masses as they
have not been voiced before. They
have demanded taxation only for reve-

revenue" No, sir. At her present rate
of taxation the city of Staunton has
abundant revenue from other sources for
her maintenance aud improvement. The
city did not establish, or cause to bs es-
tsblished the saloons because she needed
the revenue from them, but she taxes them
because the saloon. keeper desires to sell
liquor. That is the reason and the only
reason why the city gathers reveoue from
them. And even il the taxes were in-
creased, it would amount to only about
twenty-five cents par capita par year, and
what man, with the trne interests of his
family and neighbcr and community at
heart, would not willingly pay ten or a
hundred times twenty five cents to have
the saloons with all their attending evils
removed from our streets
In bis recent address in Staunton, Ex.
Auditor John E Massey said 'While
Auditor of the State of Virginia had the
opportunity Of knowing the amount of
revenns derived from the liquor traffic, and
the purposes for which the money was paid
out, and l tell you that for every dollar
paid into the treasury by the liquor traf-
fc, four dollars were paid out for criminal
prosecutions, the support of paupsrs. the
maintenance of the insane, and the educa-
tion of the ignorant, whose condition was
caused either directly or indirectly by the
use of liquor ~
From this showing the State of Virginia
would make, by saving, vast amount of
money every year il there was no liquor
sold within her borders. An expenditure
of four dollars to get one! Revenue pro-
ducing, is it?
"But," says my opponent, if Prohibition
In has ~rI.N kha
habit of drinking will then buy it in large
quantities and kesp 1t in their houses and
elsewhere and drink more than if they
be true. There never was, is not, and
doubtless never will be sumptuary law to
prevent man from making hog of him
self if so disposed. But, candidly, it is
sheer folly to argue that more liquor will
be drank when the drinker is put to the ad-
ditional cost and trouble of obtaining and
drinking it ''on the sly" than if he could
get all he wanted by simply stepping
s'around the corner" If Prohibition does
pot stop those who have the drink habit
already fixed, it will prevent the young
boys-the rising generation-from acquir-
ing the blighting habit; and no true father
can afford to let his son come into daily
contact with saloons, unless he wishes him
to lead drunkard' life, die drunkard's
death, and reap drunkard's eternity !!
God awaken the fathers and save the boys
of our city
If you are for God against the devil; for
right against wrong; for home against the
saloon, you must work for Prohibition
There is no middle ground. God says he
that is not for me is against me-he that
dishonors me him will dishonor-I will
laugh at his calamity and mock when his
fear cometh. In what measure you mete
it to God to you will that measure be
meted again. There is no escape from
this.
God grant that in the coming contest
between right and wrong every man may
do his honest, heaven enjo;ned duty, that
the right may prevail and the deDs of
iniquity be everlastingly swept from our
city.

Preserving Butter in Brine.
HOW AND WHY IMMERSION IN BRINE
PRAcTICED By YBUTTER-woRKERs.

HOW AND WHY IMMERsIoN IN BRINE Is
PRAcTIoED By BUTTER WORKERS.
A method of preserving butter by i'm
mersion in brine for home consumption and
for export is thus explained: "As soon as
the butter is ready for the market, by the
ordinary method Of cleansing and sailing,
whether by keg or roll, it is divided into
pound and two pound pieces, according to
tastes and demands, and formed into rolls,
aud fine muslin is wound round the rolls.
The rolls are then nicely set on end, one on
the top of the other, in a cask or barrel
suitable to the convenience of the butter
maker. When the barrel is full cloth is
nicely spread over and tucked round the
roll, and whatever space remains between
the butter and the head of the cask is filled
with coarse salt.
The object of the salt or the top is to
keep the butter tight In its place, and to
make good the deficiency of any brine lost
from leakage Or evaporation. The object
of the plate is to keep the rolls of butter
tightly in their places aud thoroughly i'm
mersed in the brine. The barrel is then
headed up, turned bung up, aud filled quite
full of strong brine. OF course only small
quantity of brine will be necessary, as it is
only in the interstioes between the roll of
butter that it can find room, as the butter,
having already been sufficiently salted in
the ordinary way, will absorb none of the
brine. The cask must, however, be filed
quito full, and securely bunged. so that no
leakage occurs; for on the keeping of the
barrel full of brine depends the success of
the method. When the keg or barrel con-
tanning the butter is opened by the retail
ing butter merchant the butter is not re-
moved from the brine; but the parcels are
left in it until called for by the consumer,
when it is lifted fresh out of the brine aud
handed to the custoniar.

unfortunate eve at, and Mr.. Jones In few re-
MARKS stated that 1t was his first experience in
that line. and he regretted it greatly on ac-
count of the better class of people.
1t is very hard to say who instigated and ex-
ecuted this dIsgraceful affair. but the better
citizens will use every effort to find out who
did IL. There will no doubt be large reward
offered for their apprehension.

view with Mr.. Jones, but he declined ft,saylng
that he had retired. He will leave early in the
morning for New Orleans.

meeting will be to create another breach De-

THROWS IT OFF.

There is no disease more disagreeable
and uncomfortable than catarrh. It at.
tacks the young and the old, and 1t is too
often allowed to take its course. In such
cases it frequently becomes dangerous
The poison extends to the throat and lungs,
resulting in complications that are not
readily overcome. All forms of catarlh,
however, disappear before S. S. S., and
that medicine is now recognized as an al
most infallible remedy for the disease. 1t
regulates the liver, improves tie digestion,
and brings about conditions that enable
the system to throw off the malady.-
Catarrh and its attendant aggravations dis
appear before S. S. s., and so do all other
diseases that grow out of bad liver aod
impure blood.
