A Happy Sunday.

Sunday spent, partly in Gods house,
partly in our own dear home, partly
in good works, will provide enough for
us to do that is ft and decorus, and will
leave little time and less inclination for
sinful or even questionable practices. a
habit of so passing this day, when once
formed, would make us happy in it, and
a source of happiness to others. 1t would
supply US with occupation, but of a diff.
ferent kind, and of higher sort than,
the bread and butter hunt of the work.a.
day week. Soon we would find ourselves
anticipating its event with enthusiasm.
Moreover, the pernicious idea would be
banished forever that this day is a
restriction set upon our liberty, an inva-
sion of our time, a sacrifice to be offered
and cross to be borne. The Christian
Sabbath would be recognized as one of
Gods best gifts to man; as the couch of
toll, the truce with care, the sunshine Of
life, poverty's birthright and the SOULS
market day.

In one of his letters to his sweetheart he
wrote: II wish, my darling, that you
would not write me such long letters. If
you were to bring an action for breach of
promise against me tho lawyers would
copy the correspondence between US and
charge fourpence for every folio of
seventy.two words. The shorter the
letters the more we save from the law
yers."

A Singing Card from the Rev. Mr..
Richardson,

EDITOR COLUMBIA REGISTER: My at
tcntion has just been called to para
graph in the Register of the 5th. T refer
to that in which you express supposi-
ton that I was the "pastor of little
church of straightouts who know on
which side my bread was buttered." In
these words you charge me with prosti-
tuting my high calling to q base end. If,
sir, your paper went to such homes as
those in which I am well known, might
pass your unworthy and uncalled.for
insinuation by "as the idle wind which
regard not" But such is not the case.
In justice to myself, therefore, you will
allow me to make statement
I am the pastor of three Baptist church
os. The aggregate membership of these
churches is 3s3, OF whom about one hun
dred are voters. Of these one hundred
matter of fact, I know only four. Sure
" this showing will relieve me from any
odium that might fall upon me through
tho circulation Of the paper containing
your unjust insinuation.
But, sir, tho peculiar position occupy
demands word further from me. I
am, and have been, from its inception,
fully identified with the reform move
ment in politics. At intervals, as occa-
sion offered, in the midst of the pressing
duties Of pastoral and missionary work
combined, I spoke out for more fairness
in the distribution of Offices and greater
simplicity and purity in official circles.
This for five years before Mr.. Tillman's
name was known in this section.
When Mr.. Tillman began agitating
the political waters I set him down for
an incorruptible, unselfsh, God fear
ing man, rugged and fearless. I verify
thought ho had been raised up to purify
the politics of my State. Ny flock SYM
f had peon ho my Weigh S6in Should haVo soseo re
deemed Israel" But, sir, I have been
mistaken III Governor Tillman. not
only find him otherwise than God
fearing man, but I have been forced,
against my wishes, to conclude that he
is insincere. Having put himself down
squarely as favoring a reduction in sala-
ries, the first act OF his administration
should have been to have insisted on a
reduction of his own salary-doubly so
when the financial condition Of the
country then and now are compared.
Furthermore, there is not one single
weak place which he detected in previ-
Gus administrations, except in the very
important matter of liquor drinking (?)
that has not been detected in his own ar
NOR.
But you say "otherwise he should have
rebuked Mr.. Youmans for his intemper-
ate utterances that provoked Governor
Tillman." But, sir, 1 heard nothing in
temperate from Mr.. Youmans. When
Mr.. Tillman reflected by comparison,
upon the "honor and truth of his oppo-
nents, I felt instantly that he had said an
unnecessary and harmful thing. Mr.
Youmans' question seemed to me such
as any gentleman Christian gentleman
too-might have asked. He was perfect
ly calm and polite. There was nothing
| to rebuke.

He Rather Liked the Family.

"A good story is told in Missouri at the
/ expense of its once famous Governor,
Claibourne F. Jackson. Before he solved
the enigma Of wedlock he had married
five sisters-in reasonable lapses of con.
secutiveness ss matter of decency.
After one wife had been lost and appro-
priately nourned he espoused another,
and he Kept his courting within narrow
circle of his OVID relatives, for he rather
liked the family. Some of his predilec-
tions were widows ere he transformed
them from Niobes into willing, if not
blushing, brides but it was all one to the
conqueripg benedict.
rhe antiqusted father of these girls
was almost deaf, and when the Governor
went to this octogenarian to ask for bis
surviving daughter, the following conver.
sation eDsued:
"I want Lizzie !"
"Eh?"
II want you to let me have Eliz a
beth p
"Oh. you want Lizzie, do you? What
for ?"
"For my wife"
"For life 2"
IT want to marry her I"
"Oh, yes! Just so! hear you, boy"
"I'm precious glad you do," muttered
the governor.
"Well," slowly responded the veteran,
"you needn't holler 30 that the whole
ueighborhood may know it Yes, you
can have her. You've got 'em all now,
my lad; but for goodness sake, if any
thing happens to that 'ere poor, misguid-
ed gal, don't cume and ask me for the
old womanp
Jackson solemnly promised that he
never would.

A Quick Juror.

A Judge Was once trying murder
ease in one of the wire.grass Counties,
and experienced great difficulty in getting
ajury. Eleven jurors had be, i sworn in,
and in the next panel was brought in
small, lean, lank, cadaverous.loos.ng fel-
low, who had on only one ahoe, his pants
being nearly above his knees, his shirt
open both front and back, and the afore.
said pants held up by single brace.
The solicitor proceeded to ask the usual
questions iu such cases as follows:
"Have you, from having seen the
crime committed, or having heard of the
testimony delivered under oath, formed
or expressed any opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of the prisoner at the bar 2"
The single braced fellow, in clear aud
distinct voice, answered:
"Not any?"
"Have you any prejudice or bias rest
ing on your mind for or against the pris.
oner at the BARI"
"l hain't."
"Is your mind perfectly impartial be.
tween the State and the accused?"
"Hit air."
care you conscientiousiy opposed to
capital punishment" ?"
IL isn't"
The judge didn't like the juror much,
but it being late and jurors scarce, be WAS
"put on" the prisoner in the usual man
ner, the clerk saying:
Juror, look upon the prisoner pris.
oner, look upon the juror"
The juror was close to the prisoner and
when this command was given he bent
over him, scanning him from head to foot
iptently for some minutes He then
turned to the judge and said in firm,
solemn voice:
Eyes. Judge. think he's guilty"

What Next =?

BOSTON, MASS, July 1G.-A few days
ago w. Back, of Chelsea, wrote to Ex-
President Grover Cleveland, calling his
attention to this statement, quoted from
q report in the British american Citizen,
of his discourse in Music Hall:
"When Cleveland became President he
had wire run from the White House to
the Cardinals palace, and placed Roman
Catholics at the head of every division Of
fifteen thousand employees in the depart
ments, and permitted nuns, without au-
thority and against printed instructions
hung up in every public building in
Washington, to 60 twice each month
through them and command every clerk
to contribute to the support of the Roman
Catholic Church, and if he or she refused,
have yellow envelope sent them. We
can see how unworthy such a man is OF
support"
Mr.. Clevelaud's reply, printed in the
British american Citizen this week, reads
as follows:
GRAY GABLES, BUzzARDs BAY, MASS,
July II, 1892.
Wm. Back, Esq-Dear Sir: lam almost
ashamed to yield to your request to deny
q statement so silly and absurd on its face
as the one you send me. However, as this
is the second application I have received
on the same subject, 1 think it best to end
the matter. so far as it is possible to do so,
by branding the statemen in allits details,
and in its spirit and intention, as unquaf-
ifiedly and absolutely false. I knew Car
dinal Gibbons, and knew him to be a
good citizen, and first-rate American,
and that his kindness of heart and toler-
alton are in striking contrast with the
fierce, intolerable and vicious malignity
which disgrace some who claim to be
Protestants. I know number of NOM
bers of the Catholic Church who were
employed in the public service during my
administration. and suppose there were
many more so employed. !! should be
ashamed of my Presbyterianism if these
declarations gave grounds of offence.
Yours, very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

= There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
ipcursble. Science has proven catarrh
to- be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

Governor Tillman has no conception of
the dignity of his Office and of the respect
due to it By the man charged with its
administration.
In his speech at Conway, Horny Coun.
ty, on June s7, Governor Tillman said {:
"r am candidate for Governor, and I
am also Governor and must preserve the
dignity of that Office
In his speech at Aiken on July 6, Gov
ernor Tillman said to some of his sud-
ence who we're calling for Sheppard:
''lfit does you any good to yell shep-
pard's name like cur dog, why bark
on" And, again, 81 wish the whole
ticket were lawyers, for 1 can whip q
cowpen full of them"
And agaiu, in his speech at Aike', be
: id that Col. Orr was like "a big piece

so I could larrup IN a little" In his
speech at Orangeburg he said: "If he
(Murphy) does not have grassy row to
hoe between here and Greenville, I'm a
nigger." In his previous addresses on
several occasions be has referred to his
enthusiastic followers as "jackasses." In
the campaign two years ago the ladies
were compelled to leave the grounds at
Greenville because of the indecent char
acter of one of his anecdotes. Six we'll
