Fayetteville, N. c., June 10.
At SIS o'clock Yesterday afternoon
"a vino blew out of a clOud"-an angry
looking cloud from the northwest
which was decidedly cyclonic and de-
structive in character. In it's full force
it swooped down OF that part of Hay
street between the Atlantic Coast Lin
and Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley rail
road crossings, and magnificent trees
uprooted, with the wreck of telegraph
poles, bestrewed it's path.

Mr.. John A. Augustine, of Richmond,
Va, travelling salesman for an oil
house, died at the Hotel Lafayette at
9 o'clock this morning. 1t is greatly
regretted that Mr.. Augustine declined,
almost to the last moment. to cali in
medical aid. thinking that he could
prescribe for himself. The cause of
death was rupture of bowels apparent
ly, though it is impossible to speak
positively without a post mortem eX-
animation. The remains will be con-
veyed to Richmond this morning.
Pursuant to proceedings of a meet
ing on Thursday afternoon, a commit

scriptiOns to aid in defraying the ex-
penses of the. state Firemen'S Onven

the importance of the matter, and the
results will, no doubt, be satisfactory.
On Monday evening at 5 o'clock there
will be a public meeting whence to

Queen Victoria on the occasion of her
jubilee. No community cOuld more fit

a sharp rally OF s 10 9 points. The rtso
was chiefly on the months OF July. August
and September. The early weakness was
the result Of pounding Ivy local bears.

The strength later was due to covering

Speculation
(Congregationalist.D

Speculation is a passion which wrecks
fortunes, bodies. characters,
ties, nations. Many men reach after
immense possible results rather than
take assured small ones. They prefer
the bucket shop to the savings bank.
The unknown patent medicine has
more valu in their eyes than tina
composition is understood, and
whose operation has been tested by
professional experts. The divine heal
err or the Christian scientist is trust
ed rather than the trained physician.
Crowds Of citizens shout themselves
hoare in praise Of the orator who has
some panacea which never has been
tried but which he warrants to remove
all national ills. Here and there one
gains money Some real or imaginary
bodily ills are cured. Spamodic i'm
pulses may be created toward national
prosperity. But every sensible man
knows that all these spcculations offer
immense risks and yield small returns.
The many are duped. the few reap the
rewards. Honest labor, diligent study.
reliance on experience insure safety.
Gambling in business, in medicine. in
government, in religion, is immoral.
It's consequences are disastrous. To
warn men against IL and to offer the
sure rewards Of honesty is to preach a
genuine gospel, fitted especially to the
needs of this time.

New York. June lg.-The prominent fea-
ture I'm the cotton market this week and
that which has overshadowed all other
Influences has been the great improve
ment in spot business at Liverpool. The
sales OF cotton there nave jumped, with
out warning. from very small TO extreme
" large proportions. This and the con-
sequent strength of the near months here
has bolstered up the entire market and
resulted in an advance of - points since
last Saturday. The leading bears here
appear to have lost confidence in their

O KING OF KINGS.

Before Whose throne their crowns OF gold
The white-robed saints are fasting;
While all the shining courts on high
With angel songs are ringing,
Oh let Thy children venture nigh,
Their lowly homage bringing.
For every heart, made glad by Thee,
With thankful praise is swelling:
And every tongue, with JOY set free,
It's happy theme is telling.
Thou hast been mindful of thine own,
And 10, We come confesSing-

throne
With sixty years of blessing.

For all her Cnuuren yearning:
Oh, happy realm, such mother-graCe
With loyal love returningi
Where England's flag flies wide unfurl'd
All tyrant wrongs repelling:
God made the world a better world
For mans brief earthly dwelling.
Lead on. o Lord thy people still,
New grace and wisdom giving,
To larger love and purer will,
And nobler heights of living.
And while all Thy love below
They chant the gracious story.
Oh, teach them first Thy Christ to know,
And magnify His glory.
The Queen has expressed her desire
that this hymn may be sung at all the
cOmmemoration services to be held on
the 10Th of June.
