One of the most significant signs
of the times as showing the drift
on the part of the federal judiciary
in grasping at power and as show
ing the necessity for some federal
legislation restraining the arrogant
assumptions of these federal
judges, is shown in a recent extra
ordinary injunction issued by
Judge Jenkins, of the United
States Court, in aid of the re-
ceivers of the Northern Pacific
road to prevent strike. The re-
ceivers adopted new schedule of
wages to go into effect Jan. 1st re-
ducing wages from 5 to 1Qper cent.
All the employees, $500 in num-
ber, refused to accept the reduced
wages and proposed to 60 on a
strike on the 1st inst, aud this
federal Judge issued an order be-
forehand e1Joining them from strah-
ing, or, as the order itself expresses
is, from "combining and comspiring
to gut the service Of tile road."
This is the most extraordinary
order ever yet issued by any judge,
federal or State, in this country.
A federal judge in Michigan did
issue an injun,t on in the case of
the strike on The Toledo and Ann.
Arbor road last winter after it was
in progress, but no judge has ever
before issued an injunction to
prevent q strike. 1t is the boldest
and most daring stretch of power
that has yet startled the country.
1t is a blow at organized labor in
all its forms. 1t practically says
to these men that they cannotqu

So be said "Let us 60 back home"
The love of home early springs,
is deeply implanted in the human
breast. Who can or who would
eface the earliest impressions of
the quiet home life when the
mother lived? I remember as my
happiest the years spent in the
old home when child: upon an
elevated place near the river side
stood the brick mansion. Tall,
graceful elms and sturdy water
oaks stood like protecting sentiLels
around the old domain. In from t
was a deeply shaded woodland
where the squirrel, the robin, the
partridge enjoyed unlimited free
dom, for they were protected by
the landlords. decree. Northward
looking up the beautiful Broad,
wide, extended meadow lands lay.
In the full blossom and bloom Of
spring sluggish cattle would
quietly Craze upon the soft and
sweet herbage of green and ever
and anon drink of the cool,
babbling brook hard by, and
stretch their lengths at noontide
beneath shading willows by the
rivers brink. And there were
hog-killing times and Christmas
times, house-raising and log-rol-
ling times-ha]lowed associations
and scenes in and around the old
home; memory brings them all
before me tonight.
There came bright morning a
few years ago, in early Spring. 1t
seems to me but as yesterday, so
still, SO calm was that bright
Sabbath morning. A gentle breeze
stirred among the young leaflets,
the honeysuckle lent its seducing
sweetness to the fragrance round,
while the mocking bird perched
on favorite limb warbled
seemingly in plaintive accents its
morning lay. Ny mother grew
restless. The Doctor had told me
IN a whisper that she could not
live long. The old clock that had
done faithful service many years,
ticking the seconds and striking
the hours as they came, suddenly

thing before-a mere superstition.
But the old clock on the stairs was
sullen and silent; not ticking nor
striking any more. "My son, I'm
dying" and in dreary way she
looked far out upon the beautiful
landscape beyond. "You know
what I want you to be- said she.
She breathed heavily a moment.
There was short struggle of nature
for life, and my mother died.
My lines have fallen in pleasant
places since. I've been cheered
and comforted before blazing
hearth of kindred and friends, but
all has never equaled the happiness
of the hearth ofmy mothers home.

Dash broke out of his stable this
morning. Getting Oh his knees
he crawled out of a hole in his
barn not four feet high. He had
gone five or SIX miles towards
Reedy River when he was caught
and held fast by two iron-will
Edgefeld stewards. The aforemen-
toned musical band was the cause
of his leaving in such disorder.
They serenaded US last night just

GONE IN FIRE.
Destruction of Chicago's Beau
tiful White City.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 9.-Last
nights fire in the Worlds Fair
grounds produced greater changes
in the appearance of Chicago's
famous pleasure park than six
months moving of the buildings.
The casino where thousands spent
delightful hours watching the gay
scenes upon and about the grand
basin was wholly destroyed. Of
the peristyle once illumined with
thousands of incandescvnt lights,
and Greek fire and furnishing end
less enjoyment, nothing remains.
It's arches were burned away and
it's stately columns, half burned
and charred, lie in confused
wreck upon the brick promenade
which surrounds it. The colossal
figures which surmountedlt top
pied to the ground when the sup
ports burned away and are broken
in pieces. Columbus and bis her-
aids with their war horses and
chsrists are unrecognizable among
the mass of ruins. Music hall is
likewise a melancholy heap of
ashes save here and there where an
iron girder protrudes through
portion of it. Nothing was saved
from the flames. All about the
walks are strewn with debris,
charred brands which the wind
blew from the burning buildings
and little piles of white ashes
where some of the brands were
consumed after falling. The man
ufacturers' building, both within
and without, presents a sight not
desired either by the artist or ex-
hibitors. The lattice work be-
tween the top roof and the curved
one covering the central aisle OIL
the east side was burned away
from a point above the southern
end of the United States section
south to the one above the Russia
section. Upon the tin and glass
arched roof lie half burn I'd boards
which formed part of the lattice,
and which, when loosened by the
-firnslid downward Inside the
building the appearance was worse
than upon the roof. Within the
region burned over, and for some
distance on either side, the floor is
covered with water. Standing III
the water, which at some places is
two inches in depth, are innumer-
able boxes containing precious
wares, baled and bound for re-
shipment as soon as they could be
released from bond. Upon and
about them lie the non-destroyed
decorations of the pavilion. The
French, Belgian, and English Sec
tions suffered most, and in the
space occupied by them is to be
seen the most disastrous results.
The scene inside of the great
manufacturers Guiding was of
absorbing interest. Here and there
were seen boxes with their tops
half burned th ough but their
contents safe except for the water
that leaked into them. A few
timbers in the rocf were still burn
ing and smoking.
A rough estimate places the loss
on buildings at about $S00,000. No
estimate of the loss on exhibits
can be given until the cases con-
tanning the goods are examined.

Edgefield Echoes.

Rev. E. Aston Wilkes in S. C. Advocate.
I have reached the appointment.
My good young brother and son
in the gospel, Verdier, is driving
through the country that faithful
though net faultless animal
known as Dash. The horse since
the mountain scrape in August
last has manifested a penitent
spirit, and I think if there be
some heavenly Eden of pastures
green for horses after this faithful
itinerating existence he may yet be
saved. I am in Edgefeld, in a
place called Park sville. The
settlement is nigh unto the valley of
Savannah as thou goest to Augusta.
This section of our immortal State
has evinced in years and ages past
an unusual chiyalric spirit.ss-In
timesof war; on the holly con-
tested field of carnage; in times
of peace and harmony; during an
election for President. It's sort
of dark and bloody ground, so to
speak. 1 overheard a fellow
arguing earnstly, and actually as
he concluded he cussed. Passing
store I heard one man say OF
another with large amount of
emphasis that he was liar, and
another man called without any
modification whatever plainly,
de6nitely-a fool. In extenuation
of the above might add: it oc-
Cured at night when evils are

I am told that it is a very high
ridge where we dwell: Stephens
Creek on one side and the
Savannah River on the other. The
country round about abounds in
creeks, mill-dams and Baptists.

For THE THOUGHTFUL.

For THE THOUGHTFUL.
SELECTED.
Sin nearly always begins witha
look.
The devil is the father of every
doubt.
A loafer is never satisfied with
his wages.
The man who hates purity is the
enemy of God.
The easiest thing for a fool to
do. is to tell how little he knows.
The man who hates light, is
always afraid of his own shadow.
We must either use or lose. The
servant who buried his talent lost
it.
Nothing but sin ever made any
body doubt the divinity of Jesus
Christ.
7 Money cannot give any man
piece of mind who does not respect
himself.
The best time to keep away from
some folks, is when you are in
trouble.
There are people who never hear
any music except when they are 2
playing first fiddle.
If every f1ger-board on the
Jerico road told the truth, nobody
would care to travel it.
God will see to it that. we shall
always have something TO say, if
we talk about his goodness.
Some men try to pay their debt
to God with money they have taken
out of the pocket of neighbor.
The devil is never far away
when preachers quarrel about wa
ter, and keep still about whiskey.
The man who says sour Father
in honest prayer, will not be found
standing with his foot on his z
brothers neck.
The Bib Bible nowhere pfQuises US
not assure us that we shall not go
into the furnace; nor into deep
water; but it does promise that the
fire shall not consume us, and the
waters shall not overflow US. In
the midst of the trial it shall be
we'll with-us. By our side in the
furnace, there shall be "One who
is like the Son of God," and we
shall come out without even the
smell of fire on our garments. 1t
is not said, that Christians shall
not have extraordinary trials.
Christianity develops manhood;
it vastly enlarges the sphere of
life. It gives broader surface
across which the winds of ad-
versity may sweep. Itgives greater
possibilities of enjoyment and
these make greater trials certain.
A Christian man is higher and
deeper and broader than other men
are. He is more fully developed
in all the capacities, both for joy
and sorrow. Christ suffered un-
speakably more than any other
man who ever lived could suffer.
He had in himself all the noble
ness of man, and all the gentle
ness of woman, he had vaster ca
pacities of suffering than man
possesses. Stoical Indifference to
pain is an evidence of a coarse aud
brutal nature. To feel and yet to
do and dare is to be truly noble.

A Seat in the House of Commons.

Justin Mccarthy in North American Review.
The House of Commons has
some $40 members, and it has
seats for little more than half the
numbers. Even if we take into
account the members galleries,
which run along two sides of the
chamber, there still is not nearl,
room enough for all the men who
are entitled to take their places in
the House of Commons. What
are the members 10 do who have
not got seats? They are to dc the
best they can-to do anything
they like short of taking seats,in
the House.
They may crowd the BARI do
not mean any place of reffeshment
although they may may crowd that
bar, too, Il they please mean
they stand below the line which is
supposed to represent the brass
bar that can, when occasion re-
quires, be drawn out from either
side, and so conjoined as to re-
present the division between some
petitioner or some alleged offender
fhay fftfa5iEsf may stand ii il tie newspaper
room or the tea room; they may
fall asleep in the libray they may
walk on the terrace; they may
lounge in the smoking room; but
cannot sit in the House.
AS in England there are so many
superhuous women who could not
possibly find husbands here under
our present matrimonial system.
in the House of Commons there
are so many members who cannot
possibly find seats. The struggle
for seats from day to day is a
curious and interesting competition
of which, so far as I know, the
English House of Commons has
an absolute monopoly.
1t is in one sense question of
first come first served. The House
of Commons usually meets at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. A men,
ber may come down to the House
as early as he pleases and select
a seat. If he comes very carly
say at 8 in the morning-he has,
on ordinary occasions, a fair
chance of a good place. He selects
his place and he puts his hat into
it. Then he goes away, to return
at 3 o'clock: when prayers are
said by the Chaplain of the House
at present and for some time
past my distinguished friend
Archdeacon Farrar.
In the meautime our member in
quest of a seat must not stir one
inch outside the buildings which
belong to the House of Commons.
His claim to a seat is supposed
to rest on his attention to the
service of the House, and if he
crosses a threshold for one moment
outside the precincts of the House
hi. claim to seat is forfeit. So
he spends from. s o'clock until 8
lounging about the library and
smoking roops and the newspaper
room, and at 8 he comes back into
the House and listens to the
prayers. Then having complied
with all that ceremonial and
having spent his whole day in
nomiL al service of the House,
he is entitled to insert in a little
brass frame at the back of his seat
small card bearing the. printed
word "prayers" his own name writ
ten teneath, and thus he has secured
that seat for the one sitting only.
The struggle has to begin afresh on
the very same conditions on
the morrow.
