THE EXPLANATION.

Love and Death once ceased their strife
At the Tavern of Mans Life.
Called for wine, and threw-alas =
Each his culver on the grass.
When the bout was DER they found
Mingled arrows strewed the ground.
Hastily they gathered then
Each the loves and lives of men.
All, the fateful dame deceived.
Mingled arrows each one sheaved.
Deaths dread armory was stored
With the shafts he most abhorred,
Loves light culver groaned beneath
Venom headed darts of Death.
Thus it was they wrought our woe
At the Tavern long ago,
Tell me, do our masters know,
Loosing blindly as they fly,
Old men live while young men die2

The Coon Dogs Mistake.

One sunny Sabbath morning
the late Rev. Samuel Hamilton
found himself preaching to an
attentive congregation in g Ken
tncky town. 1t go happened that
q drunken man strayed like a
black sheep into the fold; but no
one objected and things ran
smoothly enongh Presently 4
small dog entered at the open door
and trotted down the aisle until it
reached the front of the pulpit,
when it set up a furious barking
at the minister. The tipsy man,
with the utmost gravity, arose and
walked steadily down the aisle to
where the dog was barking.
seizing the animal by the neck,
he held him up before the
congregation for moment, and
then,- shaking him furiously he
broke out with: "Tree a peacher
will you, you, d--n fool pup
This was too much for Mr., Ham
ilton. He could not restrain his
laughter and he took hieseat, not
being. able to dismiss his con-
gregation.

Economy and scanty Cash.

The extreme depression in the
price Of cotton, coming about the
opening of the planting season,
has caused planters to hesitate
about thepropriety of raising much
cotton and using fertilizers as
usual. Our information from North
and South Carolina and Georgia
is that while a fair acreage will be
planted, not over 40 to SO per cent.
offthe usual quantity of common.
fertilizer will be used. Great
economy will be observed and less
cash used than at any time since
the war. The disposition to raise
other crops is general, and the use
of home supplies of manures
will be a firm necessity. Of
course this year will wind up with
abundant home supplies q less
crop of cotton, no new debts
incurred. Good and favorable
seasonse may help them to a.
surplus:

The Coosaw Decision.

The Coosaw Decision.
That the State would be sue
cessful in the contest with the
Coosaw Company was expected
even by the opponents of the
administration. The case wss SO
plain as hardly to admit the
possibility of doubt, and little
doubt has been expressed as to
the ultimate result. While the
Coosaw Company had perfect
right to contend in the courts for
any privileges granted it, the whole
situation has been SO clearly and
logically against Rs position as to
make itappear that its contest
was based not SO much on the
necessity of preserving it's right as
on a desire to embarrass State
administration which came into
power on grounds opposed to
Coosaw and Coosaw's monopolistic
friends.
The fight was commenced by the
CoosaW Company and supported
by it's friends, not for the sake of
sustaining any supposititlous right
Of the company. but for the
purpose of cutting off the revenues
and discrediting the State ad
ministration. This has been made
apparent by the fact that little If.
any effort has been made-to sustain
the position and defend the rights
of the company, but the opposition
has rather contented itself with
condemning the manner IN which
the administratio had ndled the
ease AID viii att to-
the extent to which the revenues Of
the State have been impaired.
Any criticism. as to the manner
in which the case has been
conducted may well enough be
ignored. Success is the highest
test, and success has been achieved.
The State has secured control of
its own phosphate territory, which
it set out to do, and thus justifes
the course it has pursued.
Now comes up the matter of the
royalty which has been lost, and
on this the opposition has based
it's severest criticism. When the
Coosaw Company secured an
injunction to keep licenses of the
State out of the phosphate territory
pending litigation, it was
compelled to give bond to
indemnify the State for any
damage sustained by reason of
this injunction. The opponents :
of the administration have placed
this damage at a very high figure,
some of them as high as $4,000.
We have never believed that the
loss of revenue was so great, but
the testimony of Coosaw and
Coosaw's friends on the matter may
be accepted as authoritative and
only makes SO much larger the
indemnity which the company
must pay on its bond.
Thus ends the first lesson. The
first action of the administration
toward conserving the rights
the people has been successful.
The first fight against corporate
oppression (not against corpora
tions) has been won. The obstruc-
ton of the opposition is now
shown to have been founded not
on justice but on spleen and malice.
But the administration has the
satisfaction of knowing that the
opposition must pay for it's whistle,
and that..the people have lost moth
ing by this attempt to preserve
for them their rights.-Register.

Suggestions of Brevity,

1t is proper to mention the
death of our friends. To do this
in detail is of modern invention.
When Enoch passed out, his
obituary was short but comforting,
suggestive and instructive. "He
walked with God and was not, for
God took him"
This seemed to be the rule for
writing obituaries among the early
Methodists. Even the laborlous,
self-sacri6cing ministers who died,
had but little said about them.
Going back, only as far as the
conference 1884. when the
question was asked awho have
died this year?" This memoir
was the answer:
.Caleb B. Pedecord, a man of
SORROWS, and like his Master,
acquainted with grief, but dead
man to the world, and much
devoted to God" At the confer
ence held in 1885, the answer to the
same question was @James Thomas,
a pious young man, of good gifts,
nsefnl and acceptable, blameless
in his life, and much. resigned in
his death p o.
These are beautiful models-so
simple, and yet so expressive.
