"EARTH TO EARTH,

What gray-haired. veteran of the
great war could read the account Of
the burial of Winnie Davis, the greatly
beloved daughter Of the COnfederacy,
and the youngest born of the illustri-
Gus and immortal President Of the
Southern Confederacy, at Richmond,
Va, her birthplace, on Friday after
noon, without shedding tears? Could
any old and r man, loyal in every
throb of his heart to the "lost cause"
and to the blessed "land we love-" read
the touching record of the last services
over the blessed, noble young woman
who has one so soon from us to her
final home, aged "a years, and not join
in the sympathetic tears that flowed
down the cheeks of the bronzed, battle
SCARED and brave men who stood about
the grave when it was dust to dust"
and the form of the dear, true woman
was put ava to await the resurrection
morning? 1t required some such sad,
heart-moving scene like his to call
forth the slumbering emotions and
sense of profound fidelity of the men
who wore the gray with such splendid
daring, such ideal heroism, to the
forever furled flag and the great,
grand aus that persisted. Miss Davis
vas indeed a woman of unusual gifts,
inheriting no little of the fine intellect
of her noble father, and her life was
finely unselfish and as pure as SUM-
light, and the strain Of ancestral blood,
proud, brave, heroic, raised her far
above the great mass of womanhood.
Noble, gracious and true daughter of
thine own beloved Southland, a sad
farewell! May thy spirit dwell with
the blessed of God forever and in the
presence of thy Redeemer! May it be
said truly Of her, and we doubt it not,
what was said by a poet of another
piece of noble W~Omanhood:
She passed through glory's morning.

And walked in Paradise"

THE MEANEST MAN.

We have often read in the newspa-
pers of the "Meanest Man." Editors
have been so moved upon by some
poor wretch who has outraged decency
and humanity, that they have applied
to him the oil Of vitriOl and put a brand
upon him. There nave appeared many
of these characters from time to time,
all with decided individuality Of mean
ness n degradation. But the mean
est man. is clearly hone of these. It
remained for this end of the fertile
nineteenth century, and in this part of
the American Union, for that monster
Of the human race to appear, evil and
low and grovelling and malignant and
hateful. The "Meanest Man" of the
south is the fellow who is more selfish
than honorable; who loves loaves and
fishes better than country; who would
rather ride into office upon the crested
wave Of victory won by self-degrada-
ton than to command the respect of
the best men who live about him; who
regards lineage and name and kindred
anu the GOODWILL OF MS fellow beings
SO little. that he seeks the of
the degraded and the superstitious and
ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS; who think
so little of the White race-the greatest
of races, the Aryan Of antiquity-and
made more commanding and glorious
in the ages by the mingled strains in
the Anglo-Saxon, that he hesitates not
to lose all that he may secure, a tenn
porary gain, and descend to the grade
and fellowship of the descendants of
savages something bettered perhaps
by the contact with the very race he
deserts. That is the "meanest man. in
the nineteenth century.
1t really o as if 'the woods were
full of EN-" But whatever the number
the words of Shakespeare are forever
true:
That, Sir, which serves and seeks for
gain
And follows but for form.

OPINIONS OF CORRESPONDENCE.

Briefly noticing the fall of Adam and
Eve and their consequent expulsion
from the Garden of Eden, On last Sun
day, we stated that the hope of SAL
walton accompanied them through Di-
vine compassion and love. When God
sentenced our first parents because of
transgressions, and the devil for allur-
ing them to destruction with condemn
alton came the promise of mercy to
the sadly erring ones. Not only were
the SHINING condemned to suffer, but
the tempter might not escape, and so
he was cursed above every beast of the
field and was doomed ever hereafter
to crawl upon his belly greatly despis-
ed and warned against. The doom
pronounced upon the two sinners was
sad and severe, n apparently with
out n solitary ray of light to gild-
their journey and break the depths of
the gloom that hung so heavily upon
the SHINING ones. Read Genesis 3:14-24.
The u was terribly bitter, but it
must be drunk to the very dregs. Let
it be noted that the curse upon Satan
was to cause eternal enmity between
Adams descendants and him He wreak
to make his vengeance and hatred
upon the human family until the end
of time. So when the Lord Jesus
Christ came as a man., of the seed of
David, the devil showed very special
hatred and malice against the Son of
Man RrIt tho rrnrnico in INIor MOS
that the seed of the woman Eve should
bruise his head. This was the promise
of the Redeemer who should for the
race triumph over all hat Satan had
wrought and should once again open
up to the children of men the tree Of
life that was guarded by cherubims
and the flaming sword Gath verse; So
hope was not dead.
There was something to live for even
in Adam and his seducing wife who
helped to work his ruin. There should
be final victory to the lost and cast
out, and the gates Of Paradise should
again open and the Tree of Life APP
pear. Sin and death should be con-
life and immortality should be
brought to light. And Adam called
his wife's name Eve: because she was
the mother of all living" Wonderful
words! Why this name? Eve signi-
fies life. What must hat mean 1t
was because away down the ages the
Saviour should be born, and she was
to be His mother, as she is our moth
err, and through Him life would be
given to all mankind. The LORD God
made coats of skins and clothed them.
This is held to be typical-that these
skins of animals should represent the
white garments of saints in which they
should be finally clad, as the skins of

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY

I watch a group of children, tired with
play,
Returning to their homes as evening
falls.
And as they drop off singly by the
way,
Each waves her little hand and gaily
calls,
Until tomorrow
And so when we, amid life's gathering
gloom,
Pause on the threshold Of our Fathers
home,
why should we sorrow?
Shall we not meet again in endless
day,
Where shadows and where signing flee
away,
Tomorrow
Unknown.

No Yellow Fever in Savannah

Savannah, Ga, September ga Bal
timore paper of Wednesday contained
a rumor that there was yellow fever
in Savannah. The rumor was sent
from Philadelphia to Baltimore. The
publication was a great surprise in Sa-
vannah, as there has never been an
intimation of anything of the kind.
Health Officer Lehardy was seen about
the rumor today. He said there has
been no yellow fever for twenty-five
years and he does not even expect to
see it here again.

Those Dreadful Sores
They Continued to Spread in Spite
Of Treatment but Now They are
Healed-A Wonderful Work.

"For many years l have been a great
sufferer with varicose veins on one of my
limbs. My foo and limb became dread
fully swollen. When I stood up I could
feel the blood rushing down the veins of
this limb. One day 1 accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a sore broke
out which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful. I concluded /
needed a blood purifier and l began taking
Hoods S~arsaparilla. In a short time
those dreadful sores which had caused
me so much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, ana in g short time my limb was
completely healed and the sores rave me
no more pain. l cannot be too thankful
for the wonderful work Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, has done for me-" Mrs. 4. E.
