science penetrated through the gloom
of the dark ages and enlightened the
world with its refulgenC rays, I'M

study, intellect and wide research.
College after college and medical in

from the dead issues of mistaken and

CALDWELL WAGONS.

BY A. L. Butts.

1t may not be generally known that
A. L. Butts. of this city, is engaged in
the manufacture of wagons, but such
is the fact and the vehicle he turnes
out is first class in every respect. 1t is
peculiarly adapted to the rough roads
and hard usage of this country. The
timber used is of the best quality and
we'll seasoned, but the great point of
advantage lies in the ironing which is
extra heavy and tough. Nothing but
best Norway is used. Mr.. Butts is able
to turn out wagons as cheaply as they
can be brought in from the big eastern
factories, and, when quality is consid
cred much cheaper The example set
by Mr.. Butts should be followed when
ever possible. This country needs,
factories of every description and the
people ought to patroniZe home pro-
ducts in prefrance to outside products.
Take look at Mr.. Butts home make

Damon and Pythias were two cele.
brated Syracusans, whose names are
always joined as the types of true and
noble friendship. They were both
Pythagoreans. Pythias, or correctly
Phintias, was condemned to death by
Dionysius the Elder, tyrant of Syracuse

ment if he should not return. Pythias
was allowed to depart and Damon gave
himself up as his substitute, Before
the time for the execution ,Pythias re-
turned, and Dionysius, soften ny this
remarkable example of confidence and
affection, set both of them free. This
beautiful historical event has been cell
ebrated in prose and poetry and forms
the subject of an intensely interesting
drama. The fact that Damon and Ply
thias were Pythagoreans, naturally at
tracted attention to the somewhat nu-
merical philosophy of the old Greek
philosopher, Pythagoras, and in this
country, in 1868, secret society known
as Knights of Pythias, was organized,
founded on a blending of Pythagorean
philosophy with the beautiful example
of Damon and Pythias. The Thirty
Second Anniversary of the organiza.
tion of the knights of PYthias will be
celebrated in this city by the members
of Mountain Gem Lodge on the 10Th of
the present month. An excellent en-
tertainment will be given in the opera
house, consisting of two acts from the
drama of Damon and Pythias, vocal
and instrumental music, serious and
comic selections and au elegant bur.
lesque in colors. A nominal price of
so cents will be charded the general
public for admission, children under 10
nothing; over 10, % cents; nothing ex-
ira for reserved seats. A highly enjoy
able event is assured, and those who
would like to see the story of Damon
and Pythias exempliied, or enjoy good
things in music ought to attend. Next

SLAVERY AN ANCIENT CONDITION.
Property in man has existed from time
irnmemorial. The most ancient records
recognize compulsory human labor. In
many ages and countries, under patri-
archal. Jewish. Christian. and other forms
OF religion, personal servitude has been
the lot of multitudes OF mankind. Inter
national law. treaties, statutes. DEGREES or
councils and synods show that kings ana
people. Roman Catholics, and other re-
lleious denominations regarded the pos
session OF slave property as compatible
with civilization and the doctrines or the
Gospel.
.sTbe nations OF Europe engaged In the
slave trade. England encouraged the I'M
portation OF slaves into her American
Colonies; prosecuted the trade IA years,
in the course of which time 100000 were
caught and put 20 labor. New England
continued Il until 1891 and by II acquired
a large portion Of her property. Many OF
her towns for many years sent rum ana
other merchandise az brought back ne
groes as return cargoes. and these towns
were built up by the accused trafhc. IN
