Death Of a Prominent Negro.

Frank W. Mccarthy; one Of the most
prominent Negroes in southwest Geor-
gia, died at his home in Albany, Ga,
Tuesday. HIS funeral occurred from
the A. NJ. E. church Wednesday after
noon and was attended by an immense
concourse Of both whites and blacks.
For the first time in the history of Al
bany, town Of 5000 inhabitants,
every store and Office was closed IN
honor of Negro, no business being
transacted while the funeral was in
progress. Mccarthy reyer dabbled in
politics, but was probably the most in
auential Negro in the county. HIS
death is deplored alike by white and
colored people.

Praying againt Caterpillars.

A remarkable demonstration took
place at St. Hilaire, Que, Tuesday,
Caterpillars, which last year played
havoc with apple orchards, seemed to
be more numerous and vigorous than
before. A crusade against them was
formally opened in the parish church
here, where mass was solemnized, after
which religious procession, headed
by the priest, NJ. Lahame, aad the
choir boys, followed by $50 or more
parishioners, marched through the in
fected region with fervept prayers ask
ing divine assistance in their battle
against the plague.

Insurance Again t Theft.

The increasing number of roboerles
in France has led to one formation OF
an assurance society against losses by
theft. The amount OF money paid TO
the victims of the nght-ingered gentry

Wade Hampton Given Grand Ovation
in Charleston.

Wade Hampton was given one of the
grandest ovation Of his life in Charles
ton Tuesday night. He nas the central
figure of the exercises at the dedication
of the auditorium. Hampton was hon
ored to the fullest measure, and when
he was introduced and rose the more

en- masse. The cheering was deafen;ng
and men, women and children waved
their handkercniefs and hats in the air.
the old soldiers making the occasion
more thrilling with their genuine rebel
yells.
The ovation was fully equal to that
memorable one at Richmond few
years ago, and the old hero appreciated
it. He had but few words to say
when he addressed the audience.
Mayor Smythe in introducing him
made use of the words of Shakespeare:
Il do not think a braver gentleman
is now alive. He referred to Gen.
Hampton as the noble citizen of Char
lesion who honored his people Tuesday
night-the man frs in the hearts OF
Charleston people.
Gen. Hampton said he had not gone
to Charleston to make a speech. He
referred to the welcome always given
him there, and said that this one re
called to his mind the scenes Of '76
and the men he had commanded. It
was Charleston that had given him the
means to accomplish what was done in
1876. He referred 10 his childhood
memories Of St. Michaels chimes.
There were no people he loved and valu.
ed more than the people of Charleston.

The Fishing Otter.

Chinese and Indian fishermen have
an ingenious way Of training the otter.
They catch the small cub and put a
collar round the throat. The little
creature, finding itself unable for days
together to swallow anything it catches
gives up trying to do so, and finally
believes for the rest Of its life that an
otter can only swallow such food as
it receives direct from its master s
hand, and. accordingly, it faithfully
brings to the bank all the fish it cap

A Close Call.

A well-known Portland, Ne. man,
who is the possessor of q wooden leg,
had queer experience the other day.
In some way the paper in the waste
basket under the desk caught fire, and
the flames were communicated to the
wooden leg, gaining considerable head
way before he realized what was up.
He had a hot time Of it for few min
utes but came out Of it with leg still
fit FOR service.

Be Careful, Mothers.

Mothers, in training their little ones
to walk, seem never to think Of how
the bones grow; that the bones in a
child's leg are soft, half castilaginous,
and that it is an easy thing 70 bend
them. Hence the need of being care
full about having their children walk
too soon, or Of keeping them on their
feet too long when they are first learn
ing to walk. The senseless conduct Of
many parents in urging their children to
walk prematurely is productive Of last
ing injury. Long before soft bones ought
to have any strain put upon, them, you
will see these poor infants made to
stand, and even to walk, and by the
time they are II or l6 months old their
legs are bent very considerably. Pitt
full and permanent deformities produced
in this way are seen Oh every hand.
Indeed, person whose legs have not
been bent, more or less, either outward
or inward, by fond parental ambition,
is almost all exception among US. I'm
der year let the child creep; but do
not let it walk, seldom, indeed, stand,
and then only for moment, and from
a year to IS or 20 months do not en-
courage it to walk much, still less set it
up on its feet to make it walk.

REVIEWED BY GEN. GORDON.
At Marion square Gen Gordon sta
toned himself to review the magni6
cent procession that, as it passed looked
every man Of FIVE thousand or more.
As Gen Hampton, Gen Lee and Gen
Cabell joined Gen Gordon they lined
themselves up with him and joined in
the reviewing Of the splendid line Of
soldiers.
The officers Of the Memorial Associa,
ton, the sponsors and quite large par
ty of Veterans and others went directly
up to the Cemetery, where the tribute
was to be paid to the memory of the
dead soldiers, while the body Of the
Veterans went to the Auditorium build
ug, where exercises were to be held in
honor Of the dead soldiers and those
who were carrying on the work.

on Marion square, the ode reading and
the decoration of the graves occur

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

= ! ne AOOI1OIsAO-h.
The main body Of the Veterans went
to the Auditorium, where they partici-
pated in the Memorial exercies at that
place, and heard the splendid address
Of General George Moorman, Of Louisi,
ana.
Before the exercises were formally
opened the band played 'Dixie," and
it would be difficult to realize more
exultant gathering. The pent-feelings
of the "old rebs," as they call them
selves, had for the first time opportunl,
ty of escaping. The scenes along the
line of march had been too much fol
the old grey-haired soldiers, and when
they heard Dixie the cheering was
intense, and up went flags and banners
and hats to join in the chorus of ap.
plause, as it were.
Gen. Walker invited Gen. Gordon to
take charge of the memorial exercises,
which Gen Gordon graciously consent
ed to do.
Gen Gordon said that he was not
present to make a speech, as another
had been selected for that honor. He
then paid glowing tribute to the no.
bic women Of the South, who had done
so much for the men and for the his
tory Of the country. He said that some
Frenchman had said that Frenchman
vas to be counted upon for bringing
about that which was great and new,
but if he viewed things correctly that
which had changed things for the South,
and those who had cast the minds OF
the S,uth and made of it all that was
great and true were the noble women.
Before the address of the day was de-
livered he called on Chaplain Jones to
deliver prayer.
Ceaplain Jones, in the course Of his
prayer. blessed the noble women for
the devotion they had paid to the
heroes of the South, and in speaking OF
the custom of decorating the graves he
prayed that God forbid that the custom
should ever be allowed to die out. He
prayed that the noble women of the
South continue to give the South such
men as they had had, and that the good
women of the Southland keep up the
noble work they had so earnestly un-
dertaken.
DR. Jones said that the women Of the
South had started the custom Of deco
rating the graves; the custom had beer
followed, and he was willing to grant
that others follow, but not that they
take away from the Southern women
this noble privilege.
Gen George Moorman, Of Louisiana,
was then presented and delivered the
memorial address of the day.

would have allowed them to depart if
you could only have kept that one
treasure.
Bnt one day there came up chill
blast that swept through the bedroom,
and instantly all the lights went out,
and there was darkness-thick, murky,
impenetrable, shuddering darkness.
But God did not leave you there, Mercy
spoke. AS you took up the bitter cup
to put it to your lips God said, ''Let it
pass, and forthwith, as by the hand of
angels, another cup was put into your
hands. 1t was the cup of Gods eonso-
lation. And as you have sometimes
lifted the head Of a wounded soldier
and poured wine into his lips, so God
puts his left arm under your head and
with his right hand he pours into your
lips the wine Of his comfort and his
consolation, and you looked at the
empty cradle and looked at your broken
heart, and you looked at the Lords
chastisement, and you said, Even so,
Father, for so it seemeth good in thy
sight,
All, it was your first trouble. How
did you get over it? God comforted
yeu, You haxe been better man
ever since. You have been better
woman ever since. In the jar of the
closing gate of the sepulcher you heard
the changing of the opening gate Of
heaven, and you felt an Irresistible
drawing heavenward. You have been

Messrs. Vassal and Hunter, Presidents o.

here at midday. They lunohed and spent
the afternoon with tie Americans, who ac-
companied them on drive over the So1th
Downs. When the party returned several
points regarding the games neXt Saturday
were discussed and settled. II was decided
that each competitor in the hammer con-
test should follow the custom OF his own
country, the Americans with four-fcot

Englishmen with a three-fcot handle and

the broad jump, the siX-inch board take
off. to which the Americans are accus-
toned, will be used, but TO offset this ai-
vantage the run for the board viii be down
a slope according to the English method.
ii was decided that each of the competing
universities should be equally represented
in the corps of officials. A complete list
of the officials will mol be announced until
Tuesday. The Englishmen broached the
question of Burkes eligibility. but after
explanations from the Americans they will
lingly agreed to waive any objection to his
competing. Secretary Herbert also visited
the Americans yesterday. The visitors con-
tinue in excellent condition, and at pres
ert tbe indications are that every man will
