THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

That is an impressive series OF services
which is now being held in Charlotte IN
der the auspices of the Presbyterian Gen
oral Assembly. The personnel OF the
hody is such as is rarely seen-a spectacle
of Dolished scholars and thinkers glowing
with the force of the messages they carry
and the faith they press forward. While
,ve refer to these things, it seems the next
most natural thing TO recall the words Oh
Draise that have followed the recent adj
dress there of Rev DIR. Eugene Daniel,
Of Raleigh. DIR. Daniel after his learned
address was freely referred TO in com
ment as the little giant, and what ne
said gave him high rank as master OF
thought and language.

markable preacher and loving man. Or.
Stagc. during his address, said. 1T would
he an unkindness in his friends TO rank
him Or. Preston) among the great pull
piteers.'' We suppose ''pulpiteer" IS here
meant to stand for preacher. ana win
that notion, we are disposed respect
fully to think that DR.. Preston was
distinctly above other things great
preacher. He belonged to the Frederick
Robertson class. He was agpoet with
common sense. a rare combination. lie
gave charm to homely truths. His voice,
ut first, perhaps, unattractiye. had
a way of growing more and more
musical We have never heard over half
dozen preachers who were his equal. lie
packed life more closely with the words
and deeds of liberality and love than II
falls to the lot of many to do. His voice
leaped outside of his church-doors ana
reached the ears OF those outside of the
church, and it fingers there, and the me
mortal window set up by the commercial
men is one proof Of this.
The services were Il beautiful incident
in the midst Of this august asSemblase
of distinguished and godly men.

the snow sol. wnen We started but 1
could see that there were light clouds
on the mountain and some indication
OF wind. AS we went up the wind be-
gan to blow little from the south
or at our backs. AS We came nearer
the summit we began to meet the In
dian packers coming down. having quit
work above as the wind was getting
so strong. There are two benches or
narrow fiat places up the side and our
windlass was placed on the first one
about 1000 feet from the foot. We ar
rived at the foot little before / O'Clock
to find that the first load which con-
tanned orr beds, had gone up. but be-
fore this time the wind had gained
such velocity above that our men had
all quit work and left. We could not
turn back now so concluded to follow
our beds. After making everything
fast l unhitched the dogs and calling
them along we started to climb to the
top. This Is no small task, can tell
you, and when we arrived at the first
bench ii was after o'clock. Here the
wind was blowing very hard and cold
and the small particles OF ice that came
with it cut my face and hands so that
/ could not face it or take off my NIT
tens. Here we found our beds and
also managed to find a can Of frozen
corn beef which tasted very good while
we sat for a short time behind pile
OF goods to rest. We packed our beds
from this bench to the next. The wind
had now become so strong that it would
almost carry me up the side. l believe
it would have been next to impossible
to go down again even.

AT the second bench / had hard
work to keep my feet at all but man
agsd to bind our beds on sleigh, get
the dogs in and start for the last CLIMB.
l never again expect to see such a
storm as was raging at the top! Snow
was now coming with the icy wind and
drifts were forming in all the protected
places. The noise of the storm was so
great that no other sound could be
heard. The war OF contending ele-
ments was magnificent but / felt quite
too insignificant long TO be a witness
and was glad to get away as soon as
possible. The decent on this side is
very steep but not so long. After let
ting the sleds go down we just sat down
in the soft snow and slid or dropped
to the level below, which is quite a
large body Of water called Crater
Lake. supposed to be the site of an old
volcano. 1t lies far above the timber
line and is always frozen. Just at the
foot there was very little wind and
we stopped for short time to rest
before starting out on the long run

Bennett to build boats and wait for the
ice to break up. The journey is then
continued by drifting down a series OF
lakes and down the Yukon river. Be-
fore the traveller can realize it he is at
the much talked of and treacherous
white Horse Rapids" going through
which many men have lost their lives.
AS soon as the warm weather begins
gnats, poisonous flies and mosquitoes
make life a burden. The stories told
OF the numbers and righteousness of
the native mosquitoes are almost in
credible. Lieut.. Schwatka states in his
report OF a voyage down the Yukon
that he has seen mosquitoes in such
numbers as to cloud the sun and OBJ
struct the vision. Dogs and game have
been killed by the bites of mosquitoes;
even the huge black bear Is not eX-
empt from the pest as the continual
bites produce inflammation of the eyes,
causing blindness. Judging from re-
ports an asbestos mosquito net should
be in the outfit of every miner. Min
ing operations cannot begin until the
ice melts. from June 1st to the 18th.
About the middle of September the sun
drops so low that ice soon forms and
active operations must be discontinued
until the following season. The season
Is short yet from June Is until Aug. |
the sun shines twenty-five hours out OF
the twenty-four, and during the re-
naming two hours work can be done.
Accordingly when a rich claim is found
two or three sets of men are en- ployed
and work goes on continually.
The Yukon country Is no place for a
man without money. Every man who
goes there must expect to work and
work hard No credit is given on
mans face. That day is gone. Mr..
Mitchell says that before men make
a rush from Michigan to the Klondyke
gold fields. IL would be well to remem-
Der that while miners make from SIS
to $50 dav, IL is at the most for only
about sixty days, and provisions are
about so cents an ounce; that there are
1000 men existing in about $50 log
huts. ana thousands more were ex-
pected during the spring and summer
and that the mails are most fnfrequent
and uncertain. Gold is there in abun-
dance to be sure. but the difficulty In
getting II is exceedingly great. Mr.
Metcalf cannot emphasize too strongly
the difficulties and dangers and hard
ships OF a trip TO the interior and
would warn everybody TO keep away
unless provided with several hundred
dollars and clothing and provisions to
last for at least one year.

Before the first few miles were

ter work Than the Larger ones.
"There are Few striking facts about
the small American college" writes Ed
ward W. Box in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "One striking fact Is that 60
per cent of the brainiest Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
are graduates OF colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states 1t is a fact. also, that during
the past ten years the majority of the
new and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller col
leges, and have been adopted
later by the larger ones. Be-
cause a college happens to be I'M
known two hundred miles from the
place of it's location does not always
mean that the college is not worthy OF
wider repute. The fact can not be dis
puted that the most direct teaching, and
necessarily the teaching most produc-
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names of these colleges may not be ia
miliar to the majority OF people, but
that makes them none the less worthy
places of learning. The larger colleges
are unquestionably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good, and,
in some respects, better. Some of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
tions of learning Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never

LIVING UP A TREE.

Years ago louisiana planter, aptly
named Wildeson, went to establish
himself on the Rama river in Nicara-
qua, where he raises bananas and rub
Der trees with profit. A Mr.. Drew,
who visited him on business, describes
his three-story house as literally built
in a tree-a sturdy eboe-tree-sixty-
three feet from the ground.
To get up and down between the
ground and the house an elevator is
used, so constructed with block and
tackle that the person using it raises
himself or controls his descent by
means of rope.
There is also a chicken-house sus-
pended from a limb into which the
poultry is collected at night. After a
day of free picking and strolling, the
feathered bipeds come of themselves
to be raised to their roost.
good snake story goes with the
rest. Mr.. Drew says: "A thing that
struck me curiously was the sight of
a twelve-foot boa-constrictor gliding
about on the ground at the foot of
the tree, climbing over the roofs of
the laborers cabins, even entering
them, and in general making himself
perfectly at home on the plantation.
'Nobody'd think of harming him.
said the old man to me when / spoke
to him about the big snake. He's
perfectly harmless to any one, and he
keeps the place clear Of mice and
moles that eat the roots of my young

thing. Still, while they're little,
don't put temptation in his way, but

A TENNESSEE BILL.

There has been introduced in the 1egis-
lature of Tennessee a bill "to regulate
the law governing the relation of mas
ter and servant in the state of Tennes-
see, as to employees of corporations so
as to change the common law rule in
regard to injuries arising from the neg
ligence of fellow servants" The COM
mon law did not hold a corporation or
employer liable for damages for injury
to one employee arising from the negli-
gence, carelessness, or other act of a
fellew-employe. The Tennessee bill seeks
to change this law so as to make cor
porations of every sort responsible for
damages for injuries sustained by one
employee, in the line Of duty, through the
carelessness or delinquency of another
employe or fellow-servant similarly en-
gagged.

TRUSTS AND COMBINATIONS.

We suggest to our legislature that now
is good time to act upon the suggestion
of the president to pass laws, as Georgia
has done, to uproot and destroy all trusts
and combinations in the state and to pre-
vent the formation of any more of them.
These organizations are gotten up for the
benefit of the members exclusively, to
prey upon the people and to exact from
them undue profits, and to crush out all
who do not go into them in the same spirit
by which they are formed. We suggest
to our own member that he do not let
grass grow under his feet in his effort
to stamp out all such oppression and
swindling combinations. Now is the
time and opportunity to make himself
solid with his immediate constituency.
Stand up for the people and not for the
dead beat, the pap-sucker and offfce-seek-
er.-Eutaw Mirror.
