first introduced into Boston schools ten
years ago. No Bosi on school girl can now

another lecture next Saturday afternoon in

whether she will give illustrations from the

witch is made to drink about a gallon of
this solution. If she throws it up and the
next day.ean. eat,a chicken and chew up the
bones. she is considered innocent. Some
times they are innoncent, but generally
they aIe poisoned to death, therefore they
are guilty. Mrs. Walker was once present
when woman was being forced to drink
the poisonous liquid. She urged the men to
desist. but they would not. Just as the poor
victim was about to drink, Mrs. Walker
tipped over the bowl and spilled the liquid.
There was great cutlery, but white women
are held in reverence. and they did not
hurt her. She saved the woman's life.
six years ago next June, Mrs. Walker
went TO that country. The missionaries
have no salary. Their work is industrial.
and they try to be self supporting. but are
not quite so yet. They are beginning to
raise coffee. and when they get large farms
of it will be Independent. At first they
could get very few boys to teach to work.
but now they have all they can care for.
They have few girls to teach because they
cannot get them without paying the same
price that the girls would bring as wives.
For three years Mrs. Walker had been
alone in charge of family of fourteen or
fifteen boys and girls as mother and her
of them. They have as yet no plows or
oxen. but the big boys cultivate the land
with hoes. She had boys and girls up in
the fourth reader, and proficient in arith-
metic and grammar. Her family gets up in
the morning at six o'clock and all are in
bed at nine o'clock She showed letter
written by young man, one of her pupils,
and received by her since her arrival in
this country. 1t began. MY Dear Mother"
and was truly wonderful letter, especially
as he had been studying but three years. As
an evidence of the Improvement that has
been made. one OF the biggest Devil Society
men in the town said to her, 'sIf you'd
seen us seven years ago you'd have said we
were bad people. and now we are good
people.
In speaking of the needs of this mission.
Mrs. Walker said that there are two classes
of missionaries that they do not want. One
is the enthusiastic class that go for the sake
of the novelty and the doing of a great
work. But the novelty soon wears off and
the great work is lost sight off. "a The other
class that is not wanted is that class who
go in order to perform great sacrifice, and
thus become satisfied with themselves. This
kind backslide very soon. Unless you have
a strong hold of God before you go there,
you can't get any nearer to Him there. 1t
is very easy place to blackslide in.
Another great need is money to buy more
girls with, for they now have very few in
their industrial mission homes, ana the
girls are very necessary. as wives for con-
verified men, If they marry untaugEt wives
they relapse into their original barbarous
lie very quickly.
At the close Of Mrs. Walkers most inter-
esting address, a collection was taken up
to buy more wives with. W s8
Mrs. Walker is a typical Yankee woman,
about forty years of age, With a motherly
manner and sweetness in her voice and
face, together with quiet but potent force

The Payment of Government Bonds

To the Editor of the PRESS:
Portland, Me-, February 16, 1895.
7 Referring to your editorial of the 10th
on "Congress and Gold Bonds" all out
standing government bonds, with very
limited exceptions, were issued under
the act of July 18th, 1870, and, and as
you say, are payable in coin. Tho terms
of that act say that they are payable
in coin of the standard value at the
time of the passage of the act.n The
standard or unit of value July 18th
1870, was the silver dollar of 412 1-2
grains. Obviously then, as you say,
government has the lega, right to pay
it's bonded obligations in standard sill.
yer dollars. There can be no doubt as
to the meaning of "coin" in the refund.
ing act of 1870. If there is let the opin-
ion of Attorney General Devens, given
TO Mr.. Sherman, who was Secretary OF
the Treasury at the time of the passape
of the act, be read, and all doubts will
be dispelled. Government has made the
fact that coin" meant gold or silver,
as plain as it can be made and having
the option of paying it's indebtedness
in silver or gold, it is under obligation
to it's own people to pay in that coin
which would impose the least burden
upon it. Government is under no pledge
to maintain the parity OF the two coins;
that was merely an empty declaration
of the Sherman law without any pro-
vision for its execution. II it was the
purpose of government to mainain the
parity of the two metals, they never
could do it by allowing any discrimina-
ton against silver, or by permitting the
payee to demand gold instead of silver
In order to restore and maintain thespari-
ty of the coins of the two metals, they
must circulate with equal freedom and
with equal credit. 4.

1t WILL Not Down.

RALEIGH, n. c., Aug. 27.-Ex. SEN
ator Thomas J. Jarvis today made the
first of series of speeches he intends
to deliver in the State on the financial
question. He spoke to large crowd
at Morganton and advocated the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. The
money question, he said, would not
down. 1t sat by every fireside, how
cred over every industry and was up
permost in the thoughts of every man
He did not profess to know all about
it. but there were some who had not
given the subject mature thought, and
to them he spoke. He said that the
silver dollar was made the standard
by the father of the republic and had
continued the standard until the pass
age of the Act of 1878. Since that
time the purchasing power Of gold
had been continually increasing and
the prices of all produce had been con,
tinually decreasing. The remedy was
to restore silver to the place it held
before 1878. He said that ideal money
was fixed and stable, preventing the
enhancement of debts and assuring
the creditor an equitable payment.
Both metals, not one, experience
showed to be this ideal money. Sen
ator Jarvis denounced the recent pan
ic as conspiracy of the money power
and said that the present low prices
were the direct result Of the apprecla'
ton of cold.

the bands of music had ceased playing
He sent quick dispatch, telling them
TO piar with utmost spirit battle
march. Tie music started, the high
landers were rallied. and they dashed
on till the day was won. We appre-
ciate the power Of secular music, but
do we appreciate the power of sacred
song. There is nothing morning more
inspiring to me than whole congre-
alton lifted up on The wave Of holy
melody When we sing some OF those
dear Old psalms and tunes, they rouse
all the memories Of the past. Why,
some Of them were cradle songs in our
fathers house. They are all sparkling
with the morning dew Of a thousand
Christian Sabbaths They were sung
by brothers and sisters gone now, by
voices that were aged and broken IN
the music voices none the less sweet
because they did tremble and break.
When I hear these old songs sung, 1t
seems as if all the old country meet
ing houses Joined in the chorus, and
Scotch kirk and sailors bethel and
western cabins until the whole cont
nent lifts the doxology, and the scep-
ters of eternity beat time to the music.
Away, then, with your starveling
tunes that chill the devotions of the
sanctuary and make the people sit 81
lent when Jesus is coming tohosanna.
But, my friends, if music on earth
is so sweet, what will it be in heaven
They all know the tune there. Me-
thinks the tune of heaven will be made
up partly from the songs OF earth, the
best parts of all our hymns and tunes
going to add to the song os Moses and
the Lamb. All the best singers of all
the ages will join it-choirs of white
robed children, choirs of patriarchs,
choirs Of APOSTLES, morning stars clap
ping their cymbals, harpers with their
harps. Great anthems of God roll on,
other empires joining the harmony
till the thrones are full of it and the
nations all saved Anthem shall touch
anthem, sounds join chorus, and all
the sweet sounds of earth and heaven
be poured into the ear of Christ.
David Of the harp will be there.
Gabriel of the trumpet will be there.
Germany, redeemed, will pour its
deep bass voice into the song, and
Africa will add to the music with her
matchless voices.
I wish we could anticipate that song
l wish in the closiong hymns of the
churches today we might catch an
echo that slips from the gates. Who
knows but that when the heavenly
door opens today to let some soul
through there may come forth the
strain of the jubilant voices until we
catch it? Oh, that as the song drops
down from heaven it might meet half
way song coming up from
earth

Killed by lightning.

FLORENCE, August 26.-During a
thunder storm that passed over this
city about II o'clock this morning
Lilly May, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. c. R,
Eagerton, who resides in McFarlan
street, was instantly killed by stroke
of lightning. 1t was strange freak,
inasmuch as there was no sign OF
where the lightning struck. The girl
was standing at a washtub wringlng
some clothes near the pump by the
side of the piazza. Belle, her younger
sister, was sitting in the piazza, and
several other children were playiIg g
when the flash came. Lilly fell dead
and Belle was badly shocked. The
other children received slight shock,
but soon ran in the house and told
their mother, who Immediately rap
out anu picked up Lilly's lifeless form
and carried it into the house. The sad
occurrence has cast a gloom over the
city, as she had many friends here.
