Centuries ago people used to fear

"Black Death was the most terri

They feared it as people now fear

more misery and more deaths than
any OF these. 1t is so common that
'nine-tenths of all the sickness in
the world is traceable to it. 1t is

SPRING LAKE PARK.
A Great Crowd of Whites and
Blacks Flock Out to See
A BAPTIZING,
Rev. l. Toliver, of Waco, a COlOred
Divine, Does the. .Immersing-Two
Thousand People Present.

There appeared in this city a
week ago a colored preacher. who
is travelling with a tent and is
preaching in the interest of the
Baptist faith.
Since he opened here some 80
conversions have been had, and yes
terday 30 immersions of those whO
have joined the Baptist church, re-
corded in the church book.
Manager Whitley was importuned
to let the colored people use his lake
for Baptistry, as there was no
other water in the creeks around,
of sufficient depth to accommodate,
or answer the purpose, and he
acquiseced.
The crowd commenced to gather
at the park early after dinner, and
by 4 o'clock the asSemblage was
estimated to be 1000, about twenty
five per cent of it white.
The ubiquitous white boy pre-
dominated, and he was everywhere
over the grounds. Many of them
had climbed trees to get a good
look at the Baptismal rites, the
more ventursome ones waded out
in the water to a pine tree which
was partially submerged, and climb
ed it. Before the services began,
some of the colored brothers asked
that they be removed, and the
order was given and the first boy to
vacate jumped out into the water
below and a great shout of laughter
went up from the people on the
shore. The other boys saw that he
had made a hero of himself and
each one bounded after him to the
water below and the cheering
continued.
Rev. Toliver had not made his
appearance up to this time, but
soon afterward a long procession
showed up in the woods close by,
and all eyes were turned in that
direction, and all exclaimed in one
voice Here they come"
When the candidates arrived they
walked down to the bank of the
water, and the Rev. Toliver de-
livered talk on manners. He eX-
horted the people who catered there
to be respectable and silent, while
he was in the water fulfilling his
Masters command-to 60 and bap-
tise all those people who wish to
serve Him. After talking awhile he
went out in the water, with two
assistants, and immersed thirty-five.
Manager Whitley had on double
service cars, and used one for whites
the other one for colored people, as
we suggested, and it worked well.
The cars we're filled during the
entire evening, both coming and
going, and Manager Whitley found
it one of the best days travel over
his line, yet had
An enterprising gentleman, a Mr..
Forbes, has rented the privileges of
the grounds to serve refreshments,
and he and two clerks were kept
busy the entire evening, waiting
on those who thirsteth after soda
water, lemonade and ice cream.
We did not learn, or hear of any
accidents, and suppose the evening
passed off without such happen
nings.

JEFF DAVIS GOLD PIECE.
What Became of 1t and the Mexican

Cen Nathan Church, the Michigan rep

the famous Twenty-sixth Michigan, and
then to assistant adjutant-general and
chief of staff under Gen. Miles, showed
with much pride while in Washington a

to be mustered out in 1866, Gen. Miles re-

to retain his chief Of staff in the service,

months after his regiment had gone
home. and until he declined to remain
longer, Gen. Church was with Gen. Miles
at Fort Monroe, their principal duty be-

When captured, Mr.. Davis had in his
pocket the gold piece in question and a
Mexican silver dollar. Gen. Church pro-
cured other similar pieces and effected an
exchange for the two found in Mr. Da-
Wis pocket. He retained the gold piece
and gave the dollar to Maj. Black, the
Dakota member of the four who were
present at the recent exercises, and who
had been his tent mate. A few months
thereafter Maj. Black was showing the
famous dollar at an evening gathering,

VESSEL AND WHALE IN A CRASH.
A Lumber-Laden Schooner Almost
wrecked OF Cape Hatteras.
From the Philadelphia Rec

From the Philadelphia Record.
The schooner Etna put into the Della
ware breakwater yesterday leaking, as a
result of a most remarkable accident,
having run across a monster sperm whale
off Cape Hatteras. The vessel was bound
from Jacksonville, Fla. to New York,
with a cargo of lumber. She was beating
up the coast at a lively speed on Tuesday
and when off Hatteras was suddenly stop

caused the shooner to roll violently.
None of the crew know at first what
the big submerged object was with which
the Etna had collided. and CONSERVATION
reigned for a time. Capt Craft and his
men Investigated, with the keenest posi-
BILE interest, for they knew the vessel
was in very deep water, and couldn't
conceive what object under the surface
of the sea could have caused a shock SO
severe. There was no grating Of the keel,
as there would have been had the vessel
struck bottom or run across a submerged
derelict, but within a minute after the
collision had occurred the cause of the
mysterious trouble was made manifest.
Peering over the side of the vessel the
captain and crew saw big sperm whale
spOuting blood and water. This was the
hidden monster the Etna struck, and the
collision appeared to have been as dis
