When little Frances went to her last
ehildren's party she was carefully in.
structed by her mamma what she could
eat. says Harper's BaIar. Among
other things she WAS allowed to eat just
three spoonfuls of ice cream.
When Frances mamma noxt met the
mamma Of tho little girl who gave the
party the latter said:
Your Frances is q very remarkable
child"
I'm what way?"
She was so careful about what she
should eat, and l noticed that she took
just three spoonfuls of ice cream, and
then pushed her saucer away. remark
ing that she was only allowed to eat
that much. 1 think that was rare
piece Of self-denial in one so young.
Indeed, don't think 1 could have re-
sisted the temptation to eat the whole
saucerful myself even now, and even if
1 had known it would injure me.
Frances is fond of ice cream too, isn't
she?"
"Oh, yes, very" replied Frances
mother but she can always be trusted
in matters of that kind.
Just then the little girl came in with
her nurse. and her mamma said 4:
Frances, I am much pleased to hear
how carefully you obeyed me in not
eating more than three spoonfuls of ice
cream at the party"
Yes" replied Frances; "an' l
wouldn't have eated dem free 'poonfuls
ii you hadn't told me to, 'tause de ice
cream wasn't good"

While his flesh was boiling on his
bones and the flames licked up his

could not extort a confession from
him. He looked his accuser in the

the howling demons, "You know | m

Rambles in the South.
BY MRS. zENETTE THOMAS.

BY MRS. ZENETTE THOMAS.
The trip to Charleston, S. c., was
made during the night, so I have a
very indistinct knowledge of the sur
rounding country, but peeping out
now and then, my drowsy eyes were
rewarded by fading view of grove or
plantation, or the glimmering lights
of some sleppy little town or city.
Southward the air grows softer; it
may be only fancy, but it seems to
me as we skim along through the 81
lence, that the very motion of the
cars changes from Jump and jolt,
to steady, swinging pace. Surely it
is no fancy to believe that the Queen
of Night" in this semi tropical region
abandons the cold reserve one sees In
the harsher climes, and that to- night,
robed in a soft shimmering mantel of
silvery gauze, she glides steadily
across the heavens, now peeplng coyly
between the trees of yonder pine and
cedar grove, sometimes almost hiding
herself behind floating cloud, and
then flaming forth in regal splendor,
very sweet and gracious lady of
light and beauty. Beyond doubt,
there is something in the glory of
southern moonlight, that stirs the
soul to its depths, and is, believe,
calculated at times to awaken
in the most prosaic mind, some
touch of that poetic fire, some chord
of that grand psalm of goodness and
beauty that lies deep down in every
human heart.
We reach Charleston, the quaint
old Getty by the Sea-" in the light
of early dawn. No moonlight in
vests it with peculiar beauty, and
seeing it thus, my first thought as
we pass up the silent street is, "what
mummy-ike city," Indeed the
substantial stone mansions with
their cracked wall and solemn air,
look not unlike mammoth mauso-
leums, and 1 must confess, it was
with very little christian compunc-
ton that consigned to them the re-
mains of departed "Rebel Braves"
and if one cared to investigate, it
might be found that in imagination, 1
had buried one or two thousand
alive. Remember, it was early morn
ing; 1 was cold, hungry, and conse-
quently morbid. Later developments
have somewhat modified these
gloomy impressions.
Charleston can scarcely be called
beautiful city; quaint, old and inter
esting it, certainly is. The general
plan of the houses is square; they
are storied, with single or double
verandahs; the building material is
stone, brick or wood. These houses
are very roomy, and were evidently
built with the idea of affording COM
fort above all else; many of them are
still occupied by former owners or
their descendants, although a large
number are the homes of colored and
poor white tenants.
The city has several fine parks, in
which grow plants and trees in tropi-
cal profusion; the largest is the Bat
terry, beautiful grass grown plot ex-
tending along the river front, dressed

Joe Vanleer and wife are al old coIo0

half north of Charlotte, on n.

ter whose name has not been LEARNED

this did not suit the rufians; they
dragged the terrified girl out into

ragged her, took what little money she
had from her and then beat her with
a board until she was more dead than
alive. But this is but the commence.
ment of their infamy. Like the
man eating tiger that has tasted
human blood, they were now reused
to further and if possible, more hOr.

to the house they seized the old Van.

The melody of strange songsters
mingled with the soft caressing lap
of the water, fills in a picture of al
most Eden-like beauty.
The city has about $4,000 inhabi-
tants. nearly half of whom are col
ored The latter people are not en-
gagged in any large business enter
prises, though numbers of them keep
small grocery, fruit and dry goods
shops, and there are two or three
bakeries; but there seems to be
lack of energy and desire for business
ventures, and too much of willing
ness to remain in menial positions.
/ It is not so much lack of means
that prevents the establishment of
firm representing large mercantile in
terests, nor is it so much fear of
lack of patronage, for it is a well
known fact, that wealthy whites will
buy readily from black shopkeepers
who carry line of reliable goods as
from white merchant. Is it then
dearth of practical business capacity?
There are five doctors and two or
three lawyers of the race here.
Our people in the South are much
better supplied with trades than in
the North, and nearly all of the me-
chanical work in done by them, and
done well.
There are several colored schools
here, maintained by northern white
denominations. Two of the large
public schools are for colored children,
but with one or two exceptions, the
teachers are white. Many colored
people teach private schools and they
are well attended.
In this city the colored churches
are twenty-five, and to visit them all,
one needs to remain some time; there
fore, 1 speak only of that which
see.
We are the guests of Rev. DR.. L. r.
Nichols and his estimable wife, and
more home-like spot would be hard
to find. The doctor is the pastor of
the well-known Emanuel Church, the
mother church of African Methodism
in the State. He is now serving
his second pastoral term in this
charge, which has an enormous
membership-there are fully four
thousand communicates under his
care. DIR. Nichols is engaged in
erecting a magnificent church edi-
flee, which, when completed, will be
finest in the the South and its cost
will not be less than fifty thousand
dollars, more than half of which has
already been paid; significant fea-
ture of it's construction is that the
builder is colored man, and all the
work on the church is the labor of
colored mechanics. This commen-
dation is deserved. DR.. Nichols is
an intelligent man, honest and hon
orable in all relations, and as an
example of Christian integrity, is
worthy of imitation.
Mt. Zion A. NJ. E. Church has a
membership of about seven hundred.
DIR. Welch, the pastor, came here
from a most successful charge in
Jacksonville, Fla. He is graduate
of the Howard University, an ener-
getic, vigorous preacher, intelligent
and earnest in his labors. and has
already awakened appreciable interest
in this church.
Such men must succeed, for after
all it is the man who does the work
that wins the support and esteem of
the thinking people. Not he that
says Lord, Lord, but he who doeth
the will of my Father.

The very mudsills of hell were
elevated high enough and the brim-
stone pit was open long enough for
the blacklist demons of the internal
regions to hold high carnival, and
demonstrate to all christendom, al
though they had been confined in
the sulphurious pit 5897 years, dur
ing which time Christ had died to
conquer death, hell and the grave,
they had not yet been conquered, but
were capable of perpetrating deeds
that for fiendishness and brutality
would startle the world. They could
make the greedy jaws of hell itself to
gap in defiance of Jehovah on the
throne of the Eternal City.
Henry Smith was the victim of the
10000 imps to wreak their vengeance
on. The facts, briefly stated, are:
Smith had personal difficulty with
Vance, who arrested and dubbed
him. Smith swore vengeance; later
on Vance's 4-year-old daughter was
found dead, supposed to have been
outraged and murdered. Smith was
suspected and finally openly accused.
Smith, well knowing the usual man
ner in which justice is administered
in Texas, sought safety in flight.
The hell hounds were let loose from
every quarter and he was run down
in Glow, Ark. Schools were dis
missed, stores suspended business,
and the whisky shops closed and
with great deliberation and care the
offscourings of the bottomless pit
under the sunlight of Heaven, and
in defiance of law, unmasked, pro-
ceeded calmly and cody to their dia-
bolical deed. A large cotton float
having been prepared with a throne
like chair in the center to which the
victim was securely bound.
After driving him slowly around
the square, he was carried to the
platform to be cremated. Henry
Vance mounted the platform and
asked the crowd for vengeance.
1t was granted. A timers fur
mace, with irons heated to white
heat was thrusted by Vance under
both sides of the victims feet and
the flesh pealed from the bones inch
by inch, up his legs to his stomach
when he screamed for the first time.
A fresh iron was then drawn across
the body upward tracing the loins.
Smith begged and prayed, on reach
ing his face his tongue was quieted
by fire and he could only moan and
rave in wild delirium. His eyes were
burnt out and the hot irons thrust
into his mouth and down his throat
as far as Vance could reach. Being
now apparently dead, oil was poured
over the body, and he was covered
with oil soaked cottonseed hulls and
match applied. AS the flame roared
the Satanic imps yelled in applause.
The combustible materials were re-
plenished and applied until nothing
remained but mass of cinders.
During the process of cremation
and when burned beyond recogniza-
ton, Smith riggled and rolled out of
the mass twice but was promptly re-
placed upon the pyre. A few burned
and charred bones are left as monu-
ment to commemorate the height of
the Christian civilization of Ameri-
can people. With the examples now
on record, equally horrible-quite
enough to convince all nations, that
America has adopted new method,
teaching the religion of the Lord
Jesus Christ to weak and defenseless
humanity.

Important Matters to Be Discussed and
Opinions Held by congressman.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The opinion
held by a number of congressman that
the extraordinary session called yester-
day by the president will not be a
lengthy one, and that financial matters
alone will engage its attention. Promi-
nent among this class is General Wheeler,
of Alabama. II see no reason" said
Wheeler, talking upon this matter, "why
the country should be burdened with a
long and tiresome session of congress
with its attendant debates and set
speeches. The president has called them
together by reason of the gravity of the
money question and that alone. The
people have tested the virtue of the silver
purchase act and now they should be
given an opportunity to observe the
working of its repeal There are numer-
Gus members of congress who believe it
would be wise for congress, as soon as it
organizes, to pass a resolution giving the
president power to suspend the purchase
act, or deal with it as he may deem best.
Congress could then adjourn at once, the
relief demanded by the people having
been granted. Then, when congress
convened in regular session in Deem
Der, the financial question could be dealt
with intelligently and with deliberation,
and in the light of the result of four
months work under the policy, the presi-
dent might, under the resolution, inau-

The midsummer Cosmopolitan, the first
at the new price of 10! cents per copy,
though unchanged in size, excels any
other issue of that magazine in the num-
Der of its distinguished contributors, in
the interest of its contents and in its
~overiowing illustrations by famous art
lists. Francois Coppee, William Dean
Howells, Camille Flammarion, Andrew

Janvier, Colonel Tillman, Agnes Repplier
and Gilbert Parker are a few of the
names which appear on its title page.
Three frontispieces, all by famous artists,
furnish an unusual feature and among
the artists who contribute to the 119
illustrations adjoining its pages, are
Laurens, Reinhart, Fem, Toussaint,
Stevens, Saunier, Filter, Meaulle and
