There Is one quarter in which Germany,
provided France would agree to the trans.
action, might obtain ample compensation
for the surrender Of Alsace.L Lorraine. We
refer, Of course, to Holland, the young
Queen of which is now manageable and
will soon be OF age. Could she be prevailed
upon TO accept a German Prince for her
husband, the first step would have been
taken toward the inclusion OF Holland In
the German federative empire as a con.
stituent State. The Hollanders, of course,
retain their independence only by the per-
mission Of the great powers. They were
completely transformed into French citi-
gems by the first NAPOLEON, and they would
have to content themselves with such local
autonomy as is possessed by WHrtemburg
or Baden, II they were subjected to moral
pressure by France, Russia, and Germany
combined. Holland, considered as a mari.
time country and as the mistress Of n CO.

would be of far greater value than are

tion that Germany's acquisition Of Holland,
Viewed as an Offset for the restitution Of

It Was Only a Pig.

The other morning the usual
quiet and decorum of study hours,
was suddenly interrupted by a
most outrageous and unearthly
noise. A neighbors pig had man.

mother, relatives and friends of

full and heart-rendering tone; as

Prof. Cox, being actuated either
by pity or a desire TO stop the
racket, was moved to send help
to the unfortunate captive. And
who so ready to "rescue the per-
ishing' or who so gallant and
brave in the cause of the distress
ed as Hunley Broyles and Cullen
Carter! Away they sped on their
errand of mercy, but alas, for the
boys! The ungrateful, ignorant
mother of the squealing captive
failed to appreciate their efforts
in behalf of her offspring, and
with a savage grunt of disapproval,
made dash at Cullen who in turn
made a dash at the fence near 10y.
All might have gone well with
the fugitive had he remembered
that the barbed wire which runs
along the fence is not more than
three feet higher than the topmOst
plank; but forgetting this, in his
haste to get over, he kicked go
high that his legs became entang-
led in the barbed wire. Vain were
all his struggles, he could neither
get his head up nor his feet down
Hunley, never the one to desert a
friend in time of need, endeavOred
manfully to- release him from bis
undignifed and uncomfortable pc
sition, but without success. That
wire held on to his pants like grim
death: And there he might be
hanging until now but for the
genial aud accommodating Mr.
Arthur Duncan, who being evel

soon had safe on terra firma with

SAVANNAH DISTRICT.

For the Courier: l have not
written for your paper for quite q
while. 1t comes to us every week.
1t is a letter from Hardin county
to me. / like county paper.
Our Conference has come and
gone, 1t was perhaps one of the
best ever held in Tennessee. Good
feelings prevailed throughout. The
old troubles which divided us are
dead. Precious time nearly al
ways adjusts everything. We have
settled points of difference and
are moving out for the conquest
of the world. Bishop Hendrix is
one of the most courtly gentlemen
l have ever met. He is so thought
full and kind to the humblest
preacher. He is scholarly and
has travelled extensively. The
Bishops address on missions Sat
urday night was equal to anything
we have ever heard. The preach.
ing at conference was of a high
order.
Il. L. Gregory is the pastor for
Savannah Sta. We predict for
him q successful year. He is a
fine worker. No preacher in the
Conference has better wife.
j. G. Roberts has been assigned
to the Savannah Circuit. So we
have two strong men in this part
of the District. Roberts has act.
ed wisely in taking a helper for
the circuit. We wish him and his
wife great success.
Bro. Fain goes to Bethpage, in
Sumner county. He has a nice
place. Not large station, but
one of the most pleasant in the
Conference. They have not had
a better preacher in years. We
wish him and wife a good year.
Capt. j. w. Irwin was at the
Conference in the interest of the
Sunday School work. We wish
he could have gone to the Gener-
al Conference as a delegate.
Joe Ramsey (the blind boy) will
be with me in Savannah. A great
treat is in store for your town and
ifs intelligent people. Let every
body hear Joe. j. w. HENsLEY.
