Old Uncle Billy Rhodes, of this sea-

In eastern Connecticut, died recently at
his trim little home on Peppermint hill,
In the suburbs, aged about sixty-five
years, says Stonington correspondent
of the New York Sun. Everybody in
Stonington was acquainted with Billy
Rhodes and sorry to learn of his death.
Most OF the newspapers in the middle
and eastern states knew him, too; for.
without any desire to be famous or no.
torlous, he told his love in them about
rtwo-score times. Uncle Billy had been
married good many times and his last
wife died several years ago. 1t seems
he was lonely in his house on Pepper
mint hill, SO every month or two he adj
vcrtised in the New London Day, New
London Telegraph and other papers for
a new wife. A small army of women
answered his appeals, and finally one
after another of the fair writer's came
over to Stonington to size him up for a
husband 1t was one of the old mans
cu1 1lous crotchets that the aspirant for
his hand must come to him. When thcy

Blundcrs Hard to Explain.
The popular notion is that arctic ex-
ploring is a very risky pursuit, but in
reality it is not SO. Fishing on the
Grand banks is much more dangerous.
AS Mark Twain says: "The greatest
poril which p2ople encounter is not met
with in travelling on the railways, but
i'll going to bed, Most people die j.:
bed" Only three expeditions out of the
many which have been made have in

mainly bc,:nuse there were too many in
1t, where Schwatka travelled three thou
sand miles away from any base Of sup
plies, living off the country. Greely,
whose subordinate officer, Lockwood,
attained the furthest north ever
reached, beyond eighty-two degrees
north latitude, was subjected to awful
sufferings, many of those with him dy-
ing, merely because of too much red
>.pe in Washington. If the navy de-
partment had kept the appointed
rendezvous at Cape Sabine, where it
had agreed TO have q vessel with pro-
visions at q certain date, there would
have been no trouble. It is the whalers
who encounter most serious perils In
the Arctic ocean. Hardly year passes
when some whaling vessels are not
lost. In 1871 only three ships were
saved out of a fleet of twenty-five No

Workers Council.

Having promised a few lines in
reference to meeting of the Work
ers Council of The Chilhowee AssC-
citation of Baptist. | will say that
the body met pursuant to previous
announcement. And commenced
with devotional exercises. Then
organized by electing Robert Nc
Mutt Moderator AMI VIM. .Nuchols
Clerk. Ten churches were repre-
scented by teachers from the same
and gave brief report in reference
TO the spiritual condition of their
churches and the conditio". OF their
Sabbath Schools. Then proceeded
t. consider the questions in the or
der arrangeds,
lst. What object did you have in
joining the church, upon this ques-
ton some very pointed and appro,
pirate remarks were made present
ing the motives and purposes for
which persons should join the
church and no idler was ever con-
sidered admissible in the same, but
that every member should realize
that their time means and influence
all belong to the Lord. On the Sab
bath School cause the Importance
of punctualty and earnestness on
the part of the people was urged in
each speech. But the cause of ed
ucatiou and missions ELECTED the
most enthusiastic AMI earnest re-
marks of the meeting from the fact
of the increa sed growth and pros
perity of Harrison AMI eChilhOWee
Academy and the tiattering pros
poets of Carson College for the flu
ture.
The discussions of missions call
forth a presentation OF the great
succ ASS of the work in Cuba, Italy
and China, and the great need OF
more men and means to meet the
pressing demands of the people for
gospel light.
This meeting was one of the
greatest interest and will long be
rendered by the people as of benefit
to the church, while the exhibition
of hospitality and kindness on the
part of the members of the church
and community was uneXcelled
in the minds of all the visitors.
The next meeting will be thefasl
Friday in July for which the place
and programme will be given in
due time.

Senator Pugh of Alabama, add
ed his mite to the Democratic mud
die when he stated that Senator
German was the only candidate
who could keep the South solid for
the Democratic party. With any
other candidate Senator Pugh says
the democrats are certain to lose
several Southern States. This is
very intereting, if true; but it looks
to man up tree like fairy story
invented to help the.Gorman boom.
1t is stated here with much posi-
tiveness that Tamany has made a
deal for the nomination of a west
ern man for President and EXON
gresham Robt. B. Roosevelt, of
New York for Vice President, by
the Chicago convention; but as this
is the season for fakes it must be
taken with due allowance.

Sen. Morgan in speech favoring
free coinage said that the republican
platform adopted at Minneapolis
was step to the front in the way OF
a restoration of silver as money

should go further and declare free
coinage. A majority of the Dem.

HUMANE SOCIETY.
How a Horse Was Frightened.

How a Horse Was Frightened.
A few days ago we'took drive
in town near Boston with one of
the best broken and kindest horses
in the town, but he wore binders.
SUDDENLY a gentleman came up be-
hind on the gallop. Before we no
ticed him ourihOrse heard the clat-
ter, and, frightened at what he sup
posed runaway, made a ,,tremen-
dous leap and tried to run. We
stopped him, but if in his sudden
leap, any thing had been broken
there would have probably have
been smash up with serious con-
SEQUENCES. This leads us to ask if
it is not about time to abolish
binders? They were first invent
ed or adopted by an Englishman
nobleman to cover the defects
in the eye of a valuable horse,
then were found convenient to put
on the coats of arms of the nobility,
and so came into fashion. In Rus
STA where they are never used, a
shying horse is almost unknown.
No one would think of using them
on a saddle horse, and on artillery or
fire engine horses they are rarely if
ever seen.
We are glad to say that,as result
of our educational work, thousands
of horses are now driven in Boston
without binders, and are able TO
know when their drivers are ready
to start, and are able to see the caus-
es of noises which brighten them.
and so. many accidents are prevent
ed, and perhaps, lives saved.
We know a young lady who
when child, lived with her aged
grandmother, who always, because
she had no teeth soaked her bread
and butter in her tea. The child
adopted the same custom, and, to
this day, always sOaks her bread
and butter in her tea because her
grandmother had no teeth.
Is it not quite as foolish and more
harmful and dangerous to cover
up our horses beautiful eyes with
binders because an English noble
man tried in this way to hide de-
feet in horses eye hundred years
ago?
