Counting in Baltimore,

Baltimore has astonished her friend
by issuing an unexpected order
that love making, of the overt sort,
must stop in the public squares and
parks. The ~proximate cause for the
order appears to have been the bes
havior of a young couple who were
observed kissing each other; they
were arrested, poor young things,
and the man was fined $40, and the
girl S.. The proportion may have
been some solace to her, and in
deed it does exhibit a rather tardy
justice to Mother Eve, but the fine
and the subsequent prohibition
must have caused an entense glow
of indigntion in the breasts of fair
Baltimoreans, who have been en-
couraged to view courtship rather
as an estate honorable to the good
looks for which they are known.
To think of Baltimore reyiving
the blue laws and declaring public
endearments a breath of the peace!
Mason and Dixon never drew that
line. W. have all heard of the ae
greeable Southern gentleman who
was "a mighty trihin' fellow-he
beat his wife!" but the reproach
involved in the epithet has never
bfore in Dixie's land been visited
upon the young man who kissed
his sw aetheart, even cofdmo p0puL0
In point of fact, there are a great
many people, and they are not
confined to the Southern States,
either, who consider that courtship
when limited to glances, signs and
stammers is an unsatisfactory affair
altogether-as for them, give them
harmless liberties or give them
death. And in the matter Of cons
fning the dulcet relation to the
front parlor or the sitting room,
why that is a question of the
weather, not Of the city ordinances.
No, no. Baltimore will have to
retrict her hasty action. The pre-
cedent of the virtuous indignation
of MI. Bundle when be caught
Noah Claypoole kissing Charlotte
is an unsound one, even though
Mr. BUNDLES position was paros
chial. Mr.. Bundle turned out to be
a sad hypocrite. And there is one
Law about kissing which is pretty
nigh as inevitable as the centril
petal force. and the Baltimore au>
tn orities may be certain it will be
observed without their troubling
themselves. Kissing goes by favor
1t is a corollary from this that the
honestest kind of kissing is that
whichdoesn't run and hide.
Surely the Baltimore restriction
will never win approval on thu

The Iuter denominational Sunday
School Convention of Duplin county,
met in the Baptist church at Mag
nolia May 26th, at 2 p. m. In this
convention great interest and en-
thusiasm vas shown, and we feel
safe in saying that all present were
benefited by it, and that the great
cause of Sunday school work was
promoted.
Every township reported, and
most Of the schools in these town
ships reported very good work being
done-not as good as could be-but
such progress is being made that we
should feel encouraged.
The subjects discussed during the
Convention were, "Slould all DIES
nominations work together to adj
vance the Sunday School cause in
the State:?" "How to kill a Sunday
School," and "Teachers and Teach
ing" Revs. Mcmillan, Rome, Shaw
and Peele made interesting as well
instructive talks on these subjects
Rev. G. W. Mcmillan taught the
adult class before the Convention,
and presented the subject to the
minds Of the class in a very instruct~
i've way.
The infant or primary class was
taught by Miss Bertha johnson,
whose subject was ga Model

to the class by the use of a black

at least ten thousand homeless and
hungry PEOPLE in East Carroll,

ison Parishes, La, and the suffer
ing and privations they are unders
going is appalling. With the exceps
ton of a few small elevations, the
whole Of the northeastern portion
of the State is under water. FoTtys
four negroes were rescued from a
perilous position near Swan Lake,
East Carrollton Parish, Sunday
night. They were almost insane
from hunger, having been without
food four days. Two children died
Friday from exposure. Their bodies
were wrapped in blankets and
thrown into the raging waters,
there being no dry ground in
which to bury them, nor implies
ments with which to dig graves.
An old hermit was rescued four
miles from Swan Dake, who had
been without food three days.
when found he was sitting astride
of his honse, munching the meat
from the bones OF his dog, which
he had been compelled to kill. Gov.

by the Davis funeral train. After
the stop at Raleigh, the train. in
stead OF going direct via Keysville

NEW ORLEANS, May 27.-Early
this morning the body OF Jefferson
Davis in it's copper receptacle was
transferred to a magnificent oak
caslset with heavy brass trimmings.
The cedar coffin in which the re-
mains originally rested was return
ed to the vault and it was closed
with a marble slab upon which was
a fac ssmSle of the signature of
Jefferson Davis, and it will remain
in that condition as long as the
tomb of the Army of Northern
Virginia stands. The transfer was
made early and privately at the
tamily's request. The body was
naturally decomposed but was in a
fair state of preservation and the
tace was recognizable. A guard of
the Army of Northern Virginia
veterans remained at the tomb all
day.
AT 3 o'clock a mounted escort of
the army of the Northern Virginia
veterans arrived and shortly after
! ward the escort conducted the cas-
ket in a close hearse to the memos
rial hall, which was reached at
$40 D. m. Here the casket was res
ceived in silence by the United
| Confederate veterans and placed
upon an oak atasalque, and exs
posed to public view.

/ dream I was transported into
the world that lies beyond-the beau
tiful heaven opened to all manhind by
the blessed Christ child.
That hell lies underneath heaven
you have doubtless heard. Naturally
the holy dead see and hear nothing of
the pains of the lost, for that would
entirely spoil the joys Of paradise for
them, but now and then-I believe
once year-it is given to the blessed
to look down into hell. There is, how
ever, one condition in particular at
tached to this privilege. When the
dome which conceals hell from the
sight of the angels is opened, it is for
the relief Of the condemned.
God in his mercy has decreed tina.
the saints shall look down into the
abyss in order to tell st. Peter if they
see among the damned any one from
whom they have received any benefit
or of whom they have even heard any
good. If the keeper OF heavens gate
is pleased with the generous action
which the lost soul performed while ON
earth, he has the power Of shortening
the time OF punishment or can even
pardon it altogether and bid it enter
into paradise.
As for me, l arrived in paradise on
a day when hell was open to view and
came to know thereby many strange
things.
1t was granted 10 me 10 look into
the place Of torment, and the things
/ saw there were awful. Picture it to
yourself as you Wilt When / recov-

men whom I had known ON earth.
Among the latter I noticed woman
whom 1 had known we'll on earth, and
who deserved to be among the lost, 1
thought. I had never anticipated any
other sentence for her. Although she
had possessed more than was needed
to crafty her own wants, she could
never be moved by the most touching
appeals of the poorest to relieve their
distress.
"There is no chance of voice be-
ing raised in her favor" i said to my
self. But was wrong, for at that mo-
ment lovely angel child flew past me
on its blue and white wings. Without
any sign of fear it flew direct to st.

with his long beard and great keys
and pointing with its little forefngel
