The Need Of Praise.

The love of praise Is a part of our be-
ing, and feeling that one is entitled ia
praise lends dignity to further effort.
Praise is also more powerful weapon
| than entreaty. mer may often be led on
by praise when pleading would have
been of no avail. Praise is the rightful
reward Of virtnc. it reaches the intent US
we'll as the performance.
Many gem of literature. or art, owes
its perfection to the words of loving
praise aud encouragement that attend
some first effort. Many of the noble
characters the world delights to contem-
plate and study, gained their symmetry
of development because of timely praise
that helped along the individual ell
deavOr.
There is no doubt that at times a dis
eliminating CO., pliment has saved a de-
pendent soul from despair. Then, too,
the world is full of instances where a
little word of praise, let fall at just the
right moment. has turned the tide of
action and led persons into the narrow
path of reform.
NJ reason exists for Withholding
praise, that is well deserved. Praise is
distinct from flattery, of which Shake
spear said: ''Flattery is the bellows that
blows up SIM" Praise Is the honest coiu,
flatfrrv Il the base counterfeit In f3na
praise. when properly bestowed, Is the
bottled sunshine which one friend distils
into the heart OF another.-Des Moines

The opening remarks Of Rev. Mr.. Hell

The opening remarks Of Rev. Mr.. Hell
mich. at the NJ. E. church, Sunday
morning. when he read the 18th chapter
of the Corinthians. was calculated to
arouse the deep sense Of love in the con-
gregation. How the simple things Of
life touch us? They are far more reach
ing than some of the so called grAnder
things. While these may inspire our
noble feelings and put us in touch with
God, how the smaller things stimulate
our love and inspire us with feelings Of
charity for mankind. The 18th chapter
of Corinthians is favorite subject in the
Bible. There is no religion without love.
Forms and expressions are all good in
their way, aud tend to elevate the mind
and gIorify God. but the charity-lOve-
spoken of, is essential to our well being,
in sincere, honest and Christian life.
Human ingenuity has progressed in the
arts and sciences, and done much to
alleviate the hardships and render man.
kind happy. but for the passions. sympa-
thies and feelings of humanity not one
thing can compare to the tenderness of
expression in Paul's idea of love and
Christian duty. For 1900 years the hu-
man heart or mind has not evolved
grander conception of human conduct
than that expressed in Paul's epistle to the
Romans. He meant to show in the
strongest instances imaginable, that
nothing could prove man a true be-
lever who had not love. The apostle,
in this chapter, declares the most emf
men of the spiritual gifts to be compare
lively nothing, and love to be everything.
Language and sentiment since the be-
ginning Of the Christian era has found
nothing better to inspire noble impulse
than that found in the virtues of faith,
hope and charity, as expressed by Paul.

A Chinese "NInson'" Funeral.
From the Boston journal. !

From the Boston Journal
All along the avenue, on both sides Of
Beach street, were lines of hacks. with
chinese symbols on the windows People
coming nearer the scene would catch sight
OF the crowd and the gaping windows of
all the high buildings around, and break
into run to help increase the trouble
of Sergt. O'Neil and his six men or so.
Inspector Kelly was also on duty there.
At one side of the avenue was visible
over the crowd bits of gorgeous colorlng.
The National Guard Band was playing a
dirge as the Journal man pushed through
the throng. The mass Of people was held
back, leaving a hollow parallelogram of
space, in which at one end stood the
black cloth-covered casket on a bench
draped in white On the coffin was a
large wreath Of roses and ferns. num-
Der of brilliant hued peacock feathers and
some artificial designs somewhat like clus-
ters or masses of feathers and flowers
Standing guard around the dasket were
the bearers, eight of them, in llnen-colored
jackets or blouses, with white sashes and
red bands with flowing ends around their
heads. A number of large banners bear
Ing cabalistic symbols and Chinese inscrip,
NlOiS, dAoO a NdllppS VI lIluBeu HulLl-cOl-
ored cloths, were held by the bodyguara
over and around the casket
Toward the other end of the hollow
square was an open space where occa-
sionally one of those officiating would
march around and bow tremendously to-
ward the tables on which was the food
Bits Of cups or censers were filed with
liquor, and these and sundry parchments
and colored papers were held a moment
and waved attendant
These were the prayers Meanwhile, a
Chinaman in white. with red sash and
headdress, was droning on a Chinese clar-
met.
Finally from indoors came q number of
Chinese musicians and dignltaries Their
costumes defy adequate description, other
than that they We're oriental and pictur-
esque. Light blue up to the knee
and tightly bound to the leg, above
the knee. the brown or white trousers
made full, and the whole topped by a
Jacket of the same color, with gay orna-
ments and headdress respondent in color
and with a long, braided plume or feath-
er-shaped ornament, on each side fully
three feet long.
1t was about 1890 o'clock when the
band, which for time had been silent
resumed playing and the crash of many
cymbals was added while the casket was
placed In the hearse and the procession
formed. First was a detail of police, fol-
lowed by the band. Then Chinese Gym
bal players, with long paper wound poles
over their shoulders, and banners, includ-
ing an American flag. Then two devices
bearing white doves at the top, two men
with straw shields and with huge iron
tridents, and then the hearse.
Following the bearers were a dozen or
so of the Masonic dignitaries and promi-
nent Harrison avenue merchants, on
horseback, riding single file, and each
horse led by a white man or boy. Then
came the friends in carriages.

COSTLY ANCIENT MONARCHs.
PrOdigiOus Sums Expended by Them
ON Public Works of All Kinds.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is safe to say that few of the persons
who travel in the east and gaze in rap
ture at the pyramids, Coliseum or other
great piles of antiquity ever stop to con-
slider the cost The amount in money
and labor expended in producing these
wonderful structures is probably the last
thing thought of under such conditions.
But when the idea is suggested then one
begins to have faint idea of the millions
of treasure expended by the ancient mon
archs in public or quasi-public works. The
contrast Of the power and wealth of these
men with those of the present day is very
marked. The ancients could build a new
palace al will. Nowadays governments
pause and consider ways and means when
they think of building new pubic build
ing of any kind.
DR.. Arbuthnot has patiently reekoned
up the amount of treasure heaped upon
the pile of Sardanapalus by Athenaeus and
he finds that it came to ZIG, 953 900 in
English money at least, for if a computa-
ton which Athenaeus himself suggests be
admitted the total would be about twice
as large. After this the statement of Di-
odorus-that the pharoahs counted upon a
revenue of f133, 100000 annually from gold
mines in the Bishari desert and drew an
equal sum by taxation-is very moderate
But when the same most valuable writer
comes to deal with Babylon he let's himself
go. There was gold statue of Zeus--the
Greek assigned his own gods to Babylon
as usual-forty feet high; of Rhea equally
tall, with a lion of gold at each knee and
silver serpents to correspond; Juno weigh
ed 500 talents; in front Of her was golden
table, 800 talents, upon which stood two
cups, 30 0talents each, and three bowls,
200, 600 and 600 talents. These ornaments
of a single temple represented about I'll, -
100000, and the building was covered with
gold plates.
1t has been calculated that the statue
of Nebuchadnezzar mentioned in Daniel
would be worth fS5O0,000; that the treasure
left by David amounted to f150. 900 600 in
gold, 100000, 900 in silver; but the value
of the Hebrew talent is doubtful. We are
told that Pytheus, seemingly a private
gentleman Of Phrygia, entertained Xerxes
and al lof his army with most sumptuous
feast" too-and then had f4,77000O left, or,
as some compute, e, 100000. The tale of AL
exander's loot is most wonderful of all
and that is historic. II we entertain
doubts 1t Is futile to express them when
the statements are so clear and the means
of disproving them absent. In the Persian
camp, then, and at Babylon Alexander
secured something like go, 0OO, 900; at Per
sepolis, f18,000,oOO; at Pasagurda, a triie
over 100000; at Ecbatana f270 O00, 5000;
say some f550000,000. And Darius carried
or ts.Q09.000. which his murderers seized.

THE NEW G. AND A. SHOPS.
The Road Said to Have the Best
Plant In the South.

The magnificent new shops of the Geor-
gia and Alabama railroad at Americas
have just been completed, and it is said
that the road now has the best and most
thoroughly equipped plant south of Ma
sons and Dixon's line.
A large two-story building is devoted to
the purpose of a paint shop. There all
the painting of the roads rolling stock
will be done. There is also a blacksmith
shop and a tin shop. The wood working
department is located In a roomy build
ing, and is equipped with all the improved
machinery. A fine stationary engine of
100 horse power furnishes the motive pow
er for the operation of the machinery of
the woodworking department.
Accommodations for the passenger
coaches, building or undergoing repairs,
exist in the way of a great shed. Three
tracks run under this and enable the
skilled workmen to devote their attention
to nine cars at once. Pneumatic ma
chimes of the latest patterns are used for
most of the work in the woodwork depart
ment. Within the past month the road is
said to have spent $1,000 in the purchase
of these machines. The grounds upon
which the shops are located are very ex-
tensive, and 200 yards from the paint shop
stands the machine shops. With all mod
ern appliances for the best and most eX-
peditious work in these shops, the road is
now able to turn out splendid work on 10
comotves The entire plant represents an
investment of at least $150000, it is said.
A Macon estimate of the extent of the
loss to the Central railroad by the burning
of its shops at that place is as high as
$4,000. In the event these figures are
any where near the real loss, Vice Pres
ident John NJ. Egan who went up day be-
fore yesterday, had an unwelcome sur
prise awaiting him. From the reports
that had been sent in to him he had no
reason to believe that the damage would
run higher than $4,000 or 100000 at a
rough estimate. The belief al Macon is
that the fire was of incendiary origin
There is no positive proof of this but it
is said that there are many circumstances
to suggest the work of firebugs.
Mr.. H. c. McFadden, assistant general
passenger agent of the Plant system, left
yesterday for Townsville. Rates for the
South Georgia Agricultural fair, soon to
be held at that place, occasioned his visit.
General Freight and Passenger Agent
A. Pope of the Georgia and Alabama
railroad came over yesterday from Amer
icus.
