And although the membership of that church is small and the community sparsely settled, yet they are fully alive and sufficient for the occasion. It is hoped that there will be a good time and a great refreshing. To this end should we pray. The church needs it, the people desire it, and sin ners are dying for it. Oh, may the windows and floodgates of heaven be opened, and the tender compassion of Jehovah touched and kindled into pity, and a mignty outp Hiring of the Holy Spirit be manifest to tbe children of men. May it sweep and garnish the church, the hills, the hedges and highways, till the last vestLe of sin is swept awav. For sin and saian and infidelity, and unbelief, and corruption in high places and low places, wiih revisions of the scrip tures, are sweeping over the land like a mighty tornado, and unless the church, or the few righteous that are left, do cry mightily unto the Lord, the whole fabric will totter and crumble into perdition.

A Graphic Recital of the Horror# of the Sceue, and of tbe Fiendish Cru elty of the Federal Troop#. New Orleans Democrat. The following graphic and inoat inter esting account of the burning of Colum bia. 8. C., by the army under command of General Sherman, is written by Mrs. A. Q. Lovell, of this State, who resided at Columbia at the time of its capture and destruction, and who, after the lapse of more than sixteen years, retains the most vivid recollection of her thrilling experiences during the memorable night of the seventeenth of February, 1865. It is marvelous that Gen. Sherman, in the face of the moat irrefragable testi mony, in the face of the statements cf hundreds of truthful and well-known persons, ladies and gentlemen, eye-wit nesses of the scene, should persist in denying that Columbia was destroytd by his soldiers. It would be infinitely more manly for him to admit it and to at tempt to defend it as an act of war. His denials, subterfuges, evasions and con tradictions have excited the wonder of his friends and the contempt of his late adversaries: “We were living on Main street, not far from the Saluda river, a here, after three days’ fighting along tbe lines of fortifications thrown up by General Beauregard for the defense of the city, a remnant of our troops were sta tioned to defend the landing place and embar rass the passage over of the Federal troops. “The main body of the Confederate army had evacuated the place the night befoie. In the morning, after quite a sharp fight at the landing, all of which was in my own hearing, our troops retired, and after that only a few of General Hampton’s cavalrymen were seen, who were still lingering, trusting to their horses' speed to enable them to escape in time. About 9 a. m., or between 9 and 10 o’clock, I saw a carriage pass our house, containing the Mayor, who was also our family physician, Dr. Goodwyn, and some other gentlemen, and very soon after the same carriage returned with a Federal soldier mounted beside the coachman, bearing an immense United States flag, that covered the whole carri tge. By this I knew that our city had been surrendered. Very shortly after tbe Federal army marched in, in most festive manner; bands playing, colors flying, and eveiy other man. it seemed to me, bore some trophy ou his bayonet of his prowess among the storerooms and smokehouses and poultry yards of the country peoplet—srings of saus aees, turkeys, even buckets, apparently full of butter, pieces of bacon—and ail seemed in high spirits. “For many hours they marched incessantly past our hous-*, regiment after regiment, until there seemed to be no end of them, a bronzed and hardy aet of men, all thews and sinews, apparently, and magnificently equipped with every comfort, and even luxury of the camp. The only thing they seemed to lack was tobac co, and for that they broke ranks and rushed to the sidewalk, as boxes of it were brought from the warehouse near us and broken open on the sidewalk. “It is true that the wind was high all day, as Gen. Sherman says; but every Confederate soldier had been out of the city many hours before there was even a dream of fire. “I was advised to apply for a guard and did so to keep the soldiers from intruding upon our house. So I felt quite safe and at ease, as far as danger was concerned. In f-ict, there was much outward show of law and good or der, as h ng as the daylight lasted. “About sundown, however, we noticed the glow ot distant fires, but presumed it was the stragglers of the army that were committing these ravages outside cf regular authority, and rather congratulated ourselves that we were under Gen. Sherman, the great disciplinarian's protection, and so tbe night came on. I put my little children to bed as usual. Two of them were just recovering from measles, and the ihird and youngest still had the eruption upon her, but was not very ill Still I feared to expose them, but about 9 o’clock we were much alarmed by seeing large fire# at the other end of the town, near the State House, which seemed spreading rapidly. This was at 9 p. m., not less than ten hours after the last Confederate soldier had left the place. The venerable Mayor, a fine old g“ntlernaa of the old school, and almost an octogenarian, told me himself afterwards that when the fires in the country first appeared, seeing the anxiety of manv people, he went to Gen. Sherman himself, and told him of the uneasy feeling, claiming his protection, as the city was mainly filled with women and children, with a few ex empt and disabled men. He received from tbe commanding General this answer: “Mr. Mayor, go tell your people to go to bed and sleep, and assure them that they are just as safe as if there was not a Federal soldier near their city." Notwithstanding this guarantee, which was taken on the honor ot a soldier and General commanding, as I said before, as near ly as I can remember, suddenly about 9 o’clock the fires near the State House spread with the most alarming rapidity, and in less time than any ordinary fire could have got much headway, all parts of the ciry seemed burning at once. I had thought, at first, that I would not disturb my children, but watched the spreading flames with great anxiety, and thought as what wind there was was blowing in the opposite direction, that our house might es Dr. Charles W. England, of Newark, has lately been attending the woman. He is the person who, about two years ago, claimed to have coaxed five small lizards from the stomach of a colored woman in Newark. A Systematic Suicide.— Wm. Brady, a well-to do farmer, 60 years of age, living nine miles southwest of Kenton, Tenn., has long been suffering from an incurable disease, and whose mind had been affected in consequence, deter mined to end his existence on Tuesday morning last, which be accomplished iu this way; Procuring a rope he went to a branch not far from his house where there was a hole of water some three feet deep. Passing the rope under and between roots at the bottom of the hole, he deliberately tied his feet to one end and drew himself under the water with the other end, and was, of course,drown ed, where he was soon after discovered by his family.

sThe Iflrirs. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET^ (HORNING NEWB BUILDING). J. H. KSTILL, Proprietor. W. T.THOHPSOS, Editor. "thUKSHAT, JUNE 30. 1881. The Greenbackers are about to hold a great camp meeting at Lansing, Mich., under the ministrations of the Rev. Gil bert De La Matyr, General Weaver and other eminent apostles of the fiat money creed. It is believed in Washington that John H >my the will be recalled from his post as United States Minister and Consul General to Liberia, and that Frederick G Barbadocs, another colored man, will receive the appointment. Dr. Mary Walker announces herself as a candidate for United States Senator from New York State, and thinks the Legislature will do itself credit by elect ing her “to the position of Senator from the State that she has so long honored by her efforts in noble causes.” W. H. Bradley, Chief Engineer of Mad ison, Wis., was drowned Sunday in a singular manner. While rowing in a boat on the lake he was seized with a fit, and, his head falling over the side of the boat, he was drowned while in a state of unconsciousness. The New York newspapers appear to have reached the conclusion that their readers will be interested in something besides the Senatorial election; hence a column or two of ghosts in West Four teenth street: a revival of the Stewart body stealing sensation, and no end of gossip about the comet A gentleman from Pennsylvania has recently bought through Mr. W. J. Van- Kirke, real estate agency, 130,000 acres of land in Baldwin county, Ala. He purposes to establish on it a gigantic gheep farm, and will demonstrate that the sheep business can be made im mecsely profitable in that State. A remarkable case of suicide occurred at Charlotte, Mich., on the 24th instant. One Dr. Chapman, who was over one hundred years of age, evidently feeling that he had been skipped by Time with his scythe, and believing that a change would brighten his happiness, put an end to his earthly life by suicide. The old doctor had probably been ready to go for twenty years, and was determined to wait no longer. The anniversary of the capture of the BastHe —July 14th—will be celebrated by the French in grand style this year, in honor of the present republic, and as an evidence of its strength and popularity. We bare already spoken of the move ment here for this celebration. From the papers of New York, St. Louis and other Western cities, we learn that prepara tions for this fete are everywhere being nei geucally pushed forward. It now seems that the split in the Re publican party in North Carolina on the liquor question is much worse than among the Democrats. A large delega tion of Republicans will go to Wash ington to ask Garfield to interfere in the* fight and heal the whisky breach in the ranks of the party. What with readjus ter ism in Virginia and free whisky in North Carolina, the Republican party is getting socie very queer new planks in its platform. The city of St. Louis has 15,629 Ger man school children and 4,581 American children on the rolls who are studying Orman. It has likewise several bologna sausage factories, twenty-five or thirty breweries and some of the biggest beer gardens in the world. The French and Irish elements of the population are also very strong, and Plymouth Rock has a v gorous and progressive representation. Rut lager leads off as the favorite bever agt. with whisky as a good second and tea only a bad third. The King of Siam has forwarded a atone to be used in the construction of the N&’ioua! Washington monument, which has been raised so far to a height of two hundred feet. It is expected for-' ty five feet more will be added to the structure before work will have to be suspended for the winter. The total height is to be five hundred and fifty feet, which will make it the loftiest building raised by man above the sur face of the earth in the world. The spire of the cathedral of Cologne is now the tallest. The people of Italy are greatly ex cited against France, and anti-French meetings have become so turbulent that the military are called in to preserve order. The French are about to improve Lae Tunisian harbor, and run a line of steamships from there to Marseilles. The Italians are fearful that they are about to lose an important trade with North Africa. A correspondence is going on between the French and Italian Govern meats in regard to the policy of France ia the affairs of Tunis. In the mean time Germany is looking to Italy as an ally in case of complications between France and Germany. £1 Monitor Eepublicano, the leading newspaper of Mexico, is very jealous of American influence in Mexico, and is endeavoring to impress upon the minds cf its readers that the visits of General Grant to Mexico was for the purpose of t.-tsarism upon the ruins of the republic. It asserts that his son has lately resigned his commission in the army; that General Ord, whose daughter is married to the Mexican Secretary of War, has also resigned, and that Grant did not wish to become President of the United States for the third time because he was bent upon establishing an empire ia Mexico. The Irish land bill will reach the House of Lords within a month. As to what will be its fate there is much doubt The dispatches indicate that it is not impos sible that, if the bill is rejected or mu tilated, a graver issue may arise, involv ing the very existence of the Upper Chamber. The drift of public sentiment in England is shown by Mr. Gladstone's remarks concerning a series of resolu tions offered in the House of Commons declaring that the time had come for the abolition of entail and primogeniture. The Premier announced his hearty sup port of the doctrine of free trade in land, and informed the Lords that if they could not i"**"*** ll their order without the present restrictions on the sale and transfer of landed property, the sooner they disappeared from the scene of ac tion the better. It is thought that if the Lords make a fight on the land bill the mult will be a union of all the elements against the "Squires and the Established Church, which will end in securing that free trade in land without which suc cessful competition with American grain and meats is impossible. Well Meant Flatitudes. Mr. Secretary Hunt recently addressed the naval cadets at Annapolis, and among other things took occasion to say: “It will be your office to protect in foreign countries our own commerce and all who may gratefully thank God they are American citizens. Time was when the expressions above quoted w .uld have possessed a dignity and a significance that would be appre ciated at home and abroad. Now, though coming from the lips of the hon orable Secretary of our Navy, they are robbed of any import they possess by the stern logic of fact. For, of a truth, American commerce is more mythical than actual, and whatever dignity once inhered in American citizenship it is by no means in our day a passport to safety in foreign lands. The moral effect of the wholesome lesson taught by Ingraham in the memor able case of Kozta has been entirely lost in the supreme indifference with which the State Department has viewed the numerous encroachments made upon the rights of German-American citizens who have ventured to set foot in Fatherland Stronger evidences of disuse of the old time vigilance might be derived from the history of our diplomatic relations with Great Britain during the past fifteen years. Moreover the high handed proceedings of certain Spanish officials, which went practically unrebuked, irre spective of other evidences, establish that the Secretary’s reference to Ameri can citizenship is a well meant but mean ingless platitude. Now as to his remarks in reference to protecting American commerce. Our Consul General in Egypt tells a story that shows the utter uselessness of the American flag as a protecting agency in that quarter, when he reports that out of all the tonnage that passes through the Suez canal not a single vessel flies the American ensign. From China, South America and elsewhere the few appearances of the stars and stripes are the exceptions that prove the rule of its absence. From 1851 to 1860 the annual average of ships and barks built for our foreign commerce was 233. From 1871 to 1880 the average fell to 56. During 1880 25 ships were built. The tonnage of iron vessels built in this country in the past five years amounted to but 101,823 tons, for the coastwise trade mainly, where foreigners cannot compete. Great Britain in the same time built 1,800,893 tons. The report of the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, from which these figures are taken, states that the iron steamers now building in Great Britain for the trans Atlantic trade would, if placed in a line, extend a mile. The total tonnage of the United States engaged in the foreign trade in 1860 was 2,379,396. In 1880 it was 1,314,402. Since 1856 there has been an increase of tonnage of every nationality, except American, engaged in our foreign trade. Every one of them, from British to Rus sian, increased; American decreased. In 1856 American constituted 71 per cent, of the total tonnage entered in our port; in 1880 but 21 per cent, was American. In 1880 the tptal value of products carried in American vessels was only a little more than half as great as in 1860; that in foreign vessels was nearly six times as great. The value of the goods transported was more than double that of the goods of 1860. These figures are eloquent in attesta tion of the stupidity, unwisdom, or whatever else it may be styled, that has marked the course of the National As sembly towards our commerce under Radical auspices. The years go by and nothing i3 done to call a halt to the de cadence of American commerce, and there seems little likelihood that any thing will be done in this generation. The young cadet was, doubtless, fired at the Secretary's outburst, but by the time he comes to tread the quarter deck, as things are going, he will not put him self out of his way to look for au Ameri can ship that may need the protection of his guns. Our noble tars have soft berths now and they are likely to grow softer with time. 1 he Romance of a Corpse. The New York Star is printing as a serial what purports to be the true story of the robbery of A. T. Stewart’s body, compiled from the diary of a special de tective of many years experience. Ac cording to this narrative the body was stolen by “Billy Porter’s mob” of bank and silk thieves, a hackman named Mike Kelly being the principal. He took the body in his hack to the New Jersey shore and buried it; then, some days after, resurrected it and took it to the house of a doctor on Lexington avenue, New York, who embalmed it, inoculating himself with the virus in so doing and dying ten days later. The woman with whom this doctor lived as his wife took the corpse to Montreal in a trunk, being “the woman in black,” famous in the telegrams of the time. There the re mains were taken on a coal scow and and hidden near Montreal for a year, after which they were exhumed and re turned to Mount Vernon, Westchester county, N. Y., where they are now hid den. Mike Kelly disappeared from the city soon after the robbery, and is now said to be working in a mine somewhere in Arizona. The detective gives a long history of the negotiations to secure the return of the corpse, and intimates that the portion of his story yet to be pub lished will be the most startling of any. The British occupstion of Afghanistan cost a deal of treasure and not a little blood. The Gladstone Ministry have, however, deemed it wise to set the seal of condemnation on the policy of their predecessors, and give over the country to the factions that disturb it. Ayoob and the Ameer are at work battling for supremacy. Meanwhile Russia, against whose eastward march the Beaconsfield Cabinet aimed their policy, has reached a point but two hundred miles distant from the Afghan frontier. It appears as though England fails to comprehend a policy which Russia has used with good effect—that of catching her rivals with guile. There are no diplomats who can deceive to as good purpose as the Rus sians, and it would not be surprising if before long it would be ascertained that the present war in Afghanistan is being directed, at least on the side of Ayoob Khan, by Russian agents. Comment continues to be very free on the action of Secretary Windom in sup pressing the report on the expenditures of the contingent fund of the Treasury Department. If party exigencies are considered by Mr. Windom in declining to give this report to the public, it is believed that he has made a great mis* take, as the real facts cannot be worse than what will be imagined. Republican organs affected profound disgust at the Democratic “mud throw ing” in the last campaign. That com pared with the filth heaped on the con tending factions of the Republc&ns by the organs of each was but as a shower to a deluge. Gould’s Hold on St Louis. The nominal lease, which amounts to a virtual purchase of the St. Louis bridge by Jay Gould, together with his control of all the Southwestern roads connecting with that city, as also the Wabash system, renders him master of the trade of the Missouri metropolis. The bridge has been sold twice —once under a foreclosure in 1879, when anew company was organized. The funded debt of the company is $5,000,000, in 7 per cent gold bonds, payable in 1928. The interest coupons of 1878-79-80 are still unpaid. The stock of the company of eveiy description is $7,990,000. The total annual interest and dividends is $735,000. The terms of the recent bargain are that the creditors, all English, have con sented to a perpetual lease of the bndge to Gould’s railway company, and agree ing to accept new indebtedness in place of old, with interest scaled as follows: 7 per cent, on $5,000,000, 6 per cent, on $2,500,000, 3 per cent, on $3,000,000, and 6 per cent, on sl,ooo,ooo—the in* terest amounting to a rent of $650,000 a year. Gould forced the English owners to sell out by threatening to build another bridge at St. Charles for the transit of traffic on his roads. This may be done by the other roads using the St. Louis bridge. The total earnings from all sources by the Bridge Company last year were $897,697, of which $731,621 was col lected ot the railways using the bridge. The total expenses of the bridge were $504,859. Mr. Gould has therefore un dertaken to pay a rent of $650,000 and $504,859 operating expenses, or a total of $1,154,859, out of an annual income of $897,679. He must therefore increase the income of the bridge by at least $250,000 additional tolls in order to pro tect himself against actual loss. This he will levy on the trade of St. Louis. It is also said that he has obtained, or is about to obtain, control of the Union de pot in that city. In short, he is virtually boss of SL Louis. The Mormon Hierarchy. The Census Department has made some important discoveries concerning the Mormons. When that branch of the de partment devoted to the collection of statistics of the churches and religious denominations of the country applied to President Taylor, the head of the Mor mon Church, for information, the latter was somewhat slow to furnish the needed facts at first, but was finally induced to give them. He then described the or ganization of the Mormon Church,show ing it to be one of the most perfectly and thoroughly organized hierarchies that ever existed. At the head of the church was the President, who, with his twelve apostles, presided over it. Its jurisdiction was divided between States, each of which had a President and a high council; and the States into wards, governed by bishops and councillors, and so on down. But the strangest and most important piece of information furnished by Taylor against the Mormons was that amoDg the clergy of that church there were regularly ordained judges who had control and jurisdiction over temporal as well as religious matters. This has been charged against the Mormon Church again and again by the Gentiles, aud as constantly denied by the Mormons, but is now conclusively proved by the testi mony of Taylor himself. It is not to be wondered at that the Federal Govern ment finds some difficulty in dealing with the Mormon question, when thi§ church is allowed to have temporal as well as spiritual jurisdiction. As soon as the death of the late Em press Dowager was announced in China the Mandarins and all high officials of the empire put on garments of pure white, and these were worn for twenty seven consecutive days. The regulations which prescribe official mourning also require that the red buttons upon their caps shall be replaced by blue buttons. On the twenty eighth day they put on black clothing, which must be worn for one hundred days. They are also for bidden to marry within that period, nor can they indulge in any of the usual so cial pleasures. The lower orders of the people must also be clothed in white, and are not permitted to snave their heads for one hundred days. The same restric tions as to marrying and indulging in social pleasures that apply to the higher classes apply to them as well. Some of the States are recognizing the services of the Mexican veterans and giving them something in the way of pensions. Pennsylvania passed a very satisfactory pension bill some months ago, but it was vetoed by the Governor. California also proposes to do something for these veterans, who helped to bring it into the Union. It will establish a farm and asylum near San Francisco after the style of the Invalides in France, where the veterans of Buena Yista, Mo lino del Rey aud Palo Alto can retire to lead a quiet, easy and comfortable coun try life. Spain has abolished the tobacco mo nopoly in the Philippine Islands, and Senor Castelar warmly commends the measure. Of the 1,200 Philippine Islands Spain claims about 600 by right of dis covery and colonization, although there are but few Spanish residents. Hereto fore tobacco has been cultivated exclu sively on account of the government, and has been a large source of revenue. The cost of production was about 67 per cent, leaving a net profit of 33 per cent. Something like $2,000,000 net revenue was derived annually from these island plantations. Mr. D. Stevens, Secretary of the American Legation in Tokio, Japan, who has just arrived in Washington, declares that we have a splendid oppor tunity now offered us of Americanizing Japan and gaining the good will of that country. Americans are much pre ferred there to the people of any other country, and American goods are in gen eral demand. If but a little attention be devoted to Japanese trade, we can, he says, soon secure a monopoly of it, as the people are tired and disgusted with England, whioh has hitherto enjoyed the entire commerce of these islands. The land bill may be speedily hurried through the House of Commons and sent to the Lords, where the Marquis of Saulsbury is apparently ready to take the responsibility of defeating it. It is regarded by the Conservatives as a dan gerous measure, but it in reality con cedes but little. It takes the power of summary eviction from the landlords, but they are left enough power to render its operation difficult It is not so much what it concedes to Ireland that the Faries fear as the liselihood that the English tenant may take occasion to de mand relief also. Mr. Bob Ingersoll, who has been lock ing very closely into star route matters, does not believe that any of the promi nent persons whose names hare been connected with the scandal will ever tie indicted. Distribution of Population. The St. Louis Republican condenses an article from the International Review, by Robert P. Porter, giving statistics that will be interesting to everyone wbo takes pride in the growth of the country, and is curious to know how the popula tion has been distributed with respect to locality, etc. The article shows that from 1790 to 1800 the New England States increased in population at the rate of 22 per cent, the Middle States 36 per cent, and the Southern States 89 per cent The population of these di visions was then respectively 1,009,408, 1,337,456, 1,582,350. In the decade end ing 1810 the percentage of increase was: New England States 19, Middle States 36, Southern States 35, and the Western States 474. In 1820 the increase in the four divisions was 12 per cent., 24 per cent, 30 per cent., 193 per cent., respec tively. In 1830 the increase of the three first named divisions was about the same, while the West fell to 87 per cent In 1840 the New England States had increased in the decade 14 per cent., the Middle and Southern States decreased to 23 per cent, and the Western increas ed to 120 per cent In 1850 the increase in the four sections was 22 per cent, 29 per cent, 29 per cent and 57 per cent, respectively. In 1860 the increase was 14 per cent., 25 per cent, 24 per cent. 57 per cent The civil war intervening, in 1870 the score stood 11 per cent, 18 per cent., 9 per cent and 43 per cent. In 1880 the increase is shown as 14 per cent., 19 per cent., 35 per cent and 36 percent., the total population now be ing 50,152,866. In the Western States are included the territories. If States only had been counted the Southern States would have shewn again the most rapid rate of increase, the first time since 1800. The normal growth of New Eng land has been 14 per cent. The States having an excess of males are Mississippi, Vermont, Ohio, Ken tucky, Delaware, Florida, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Utah, Missouri, lowa, Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Kansas, Ne braska, Colorado, Oregon, California, Dakota, Washington Territory, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona and Monta na. All those have an excess of females. The percentage of excess of males in the States range from 4 10 of 1 per cent in Mississippi to 49 per cent, in California. In all the territories the males exceed the females two to one. The States having an excess of females are Maine, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Louisiana, New Jersey, Georgia, Mary land, Alabama, New York, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the District of Co lumbia. Tne excess ranges from two tenths of 1 per cent, in Maine to 12J per cent, in the District of Columbia. The States in which females are in excess are in the Atlantic region, Tennessee and Alabama being the only inland States where this preponderance exists. The densest population exists in the valley of the Delaware river, where there are 176 to the square mile. The Hudson comes next, and the Miami third. There are in the valley of the Mississippi 21,821,254 population. In 1879 there were only 16,431,855 in the Mississippi valley. The hottest portion of the country is the southern end of Florida, while South ern Texas and Southwestern Arizona come next in degree of temperature. The greatest increase in population is in the medium temperature between 50 and 55 degrees. There are 285 cities whose population range between 8,000 and 1,200,000. General F. A. Walker, Superintendent of the Censns, estimates the population in 1890 at about 65,000,000, and in 1900 at possibly 85,000,000. Philadelphia Record “A gentleman from Tallahassee, Florida, on his way to New York to make a purchase of paper in considerable quantity to fill a contract for State printing, accidentally stopped in Philadelphia. On inquiry he found that he could save lj cents per pound by buying his paper in this city. He made the purchase here, more than saving the expenses of his trip by the difference. This gentleman says Philadelphia trades people do not advertise their wares, nor do they sufficiently canvass Southern territory for trade. Much Southern traffic that should be done in this city is carried past us to New York by the at tractive methods of the business men of that metropolis.” An Unpopular Postmaster. —lt is understood, says a Washington dispatch, that representations have been made from responsible sources in reference to the Postmaster of an important town in one of the Southern States, against whom there has been much complaint for excessive rudeness, incompetency and dishonesty. It is said that this Postmaster has been in office for nearly eight years; that he was originally ap pointed at the instance of one of the carpet-bag Senators, to whom he pays monthly a liberal commission on his salary. He should be turned out. Boston’s total population of 362,839 is thus classified by the census: Whites, 356,826; negroes, 5,868; Chinese, 119; Japanese, 4; Indians, 20. The native population is 248,043, and is divided as follows: Whites, 242,675; negroes, 5,353; Chinaman lj Indians, 14. Of the above, 196,256 were born in Massa chusetts, and 51,787 were born in other States and territories. The total foreign born population is 114,796. There are 172,268 males and 190,571 females, or a preponderance of about 18,000 females. The latest news from Europe indicates fair crops of grain in France, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Russia. In Great Britain an average yield is expected. If the harvest shall verify present expecta tion next year will be at least a year of cheap bread. This may be discouraging news to the grain growers of the North and West, but most of the sons of men will be thankful for it. The unpleasant announcement is made that New York city has another small pox epidemic, the health authorities stating that no fewer than 100 cases have been discovered in the city since the first of the month. How many cases are undiscovered nobody ventures to con jecture. Some of the patients have been isolated at their own residences, and others have been sent to the hospital. Naturalized American citizens wbo go abroad should not fail to obtain pass ports; without sqch certificate of their identity and citizenship they cannot le gitimately claim the protection of the United States legations in foreign coun tries. The State Department gives no tice that much trouble and annoyance may be avoided by this simple precau tion. Grant paid $35 and Conkling sl7 per day for their rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. At that rate of living Grant will soon have to hand round his hat again. Industrial Training for Boys. St. Louis claims to be the first city in the country to establish a school for the training ot boys in the mechanic arts while they are pursuing the usual studies taught in the common schools. Me chanical drawing is taught in the public schools in some cities, bat in the 8t Louis school the boys learn to make the articles after they have prepared the design. Boys must be fourteen years of age, and must be able to read and write before they can be admitted to the first year’s course. The building is three stories high, the forge room and machine shop being on the first floor, the carpen ter shop and turning room ou the second floor, and the drawing rooms and class rooms on the third floor. In the carpenter shop there are twenty benches, at each of which four boys can work, and here they are instructed in all the mechanical opera tions performed by carpenters and cabinet-makers, including the carving of wood. There are lathes in the training room, on which the youngsters take lessons in this special branch of handi craft. On the lower floor they learn at least the rudiments of the blacksmith’s art, and become tolerably proficient in managing the drills, cutters, lathes and other powerful machines by which iron is worked into shape. This school has been in operation but two years, and can scarcely be said to have advanced beyond the experimental period, but its founders have great hopes of its usefulness, both as a means of building up the mechanical industries of the city and filling the shops with intelligent and skillful work men. Grant as a Political Prophet. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: “The particular admirers of Gen. Grant, who believe that the words which fall from his lips are as pearls and diamonds, lay much stress on the opinion several times re cently expressed by him that a break up of the old parties is inevitable. General Grant, prompted by his overpowering ambition, expects, as is generally under stood by his friends, to come to the front and assume the lead in any readjust ment ef the Republican party issues. But the Republican party has for ten years, at least, won its successes by the adroit presentation and manipulation of issues winch were really dead, and of no practical account more than ten years ago. Foremost in this line of business has been that element of the party which has rallied around the standard of Grant. That General Grant thinks there must be new alignments is perhaps no great proof of his sagacity, for after the last Novem ber election there was a unanimous con currence of opinion among leaders of the Republican party here that if the party ever won another Presidential battle it must be on live, not dead issues. As for the Democratic party, gray-headed vete rans who were in politics when General Grant was in his swaddling clothes laugh to scorn all prophecies of its dissolution, and believe that the cardinal principles on which it was founded will remain as distinct and visible issues while the re public lasts.” There are, says the Nashville Ameri can, two men in this country, troubled just now in much the same way by two very opposite faults. Grant had a repu tation for silence which makes his recent garrulity offensive and damaging to him in a most marked manner. The very contrast heightens the effect. Hayes was always a garrulous chatterbox of a fel low whose “hcapot happer’s ebbing still an’ still the clap plays clatter.” Such was his garrulity that it was a protec tion; but recently he has become measu rably silent and his words are far enough between for the world to take note of what he says. The result is that this re formed magpie and this degenerate dum my are kept in continual hot water about something they have said. They have come from opposite sides to meet on the same common plane of misery—Hayes suffering by contrast with his former garrulity and Grant by similar contrast with his former taciturnity. The Northern Pacific Railroad has found it impossible to grade the north bank of the Yellowstone river, in Mon tana, at the points where its line was surveyed. Surveys of the south bank have been made, and if the consent of the Crow Indians can be obtained the railroad will cross the river and build on the south bank. The river ia the northern boundary of the Crow reserva tion. The Future of Grant.— A Long Branch correspondent of the Philadel phia Times is responsible for the follow ing: “Grant,” said a business friend of that eminent citizen, “should take his mind out of politics. It is nonsense to talk of ever again making him the Presi dent of the United States, and I have reason to know that Grant himself has given up the notion. What he wants to do now is to let the politicians, whether Conkling or any one else, take care of themselves. If "they can’t do it without Grant’s help, let them go. Grant's fu ture is all right His children are all looking after themselves. Fred, and Ulysses, Jr., are in the railroad business, with all the advantages that could be de sired, while Jesse here is already well fixed, having made a lot of money in some fortunate mining speculations. The old man” —my informant was referring in this familiar way to his friend Grant —“has got something laid up, and there is a quarter of a million to be given him in a short time. He needn’t bother him self about the future, and if he takes the advice of friends he will find a good place to live and settle down and not let a newspaper man come anywhere in the same ward.” Suicide of a Minister.— Dispatches from Kansas City, Mo., say: “The body of the man found in the river here last Friday turned out to be that of Rev. Sidney M. Stray, who was expelled from the ministry by the Presbytery at Glen Falls, N. Y., on June 14, for shooting his wife some time ago at Warrensburg, on Lake George, N. Y., where he was pastor of a fashionable church, and who afterward confessed to sundry allega tions of criminal intimacy with women. Since last March Stray had resided in Leavenworth, where he held a position as bookkeeper in a business house; but, on receiving a letter statiDg that his wife’s brother had started West with the avowed intention of shooting him, he left Leavenworth, changed his name and intended to secrete himself somewhere until his brother-in-law had visited Leav enworth and returned to the East. Com ing to Kansas City, it is supposed that he took to drink and then drowned him self. His body was identified last night by A. A. Fenn, a member of the Coun cil of Leavenworth, and Rev. P. B. Brown, pastor of the Congregational Church in that city.” A mournful illustration of the cruel wrong which is done by spreading broad cast the delusion that persons in the last stages of consumption can be cured by a change of climate is furnished by this year’s experiences in the Adirondacks. The number of victims this season to an exaggerated belief in the curative prop erties of the Adirondack region has been unprecedented. Sixteen persons during the present month have died in the woods or en route, and their bodies have been carried back through Plattsburg. All these died in want of the comforts and consolations which would have sur rounded them at home, and in many instances, no doubt, death was hastened by fatigue, deprivation and home-sick ness. And still the mournful procession to the woods goes on, and still people are found, well-meaning or otherwise, who are willing to take the responsibility of stimulating a false hope.— New York Tribune, The administration is removing friends of Grant and Conkling, or members of what is known as the stalwart element of the Republican party in the North* west, wherever they can be found, more particularly in the States of Ohio and Illinois, REFUSING A PRINCE. 4 Yankee Ctrl Who Would Not In vest in the Continental marriage market. Faria Letter. About a year ago it was announced in all the leading daily papers of this city that Miss Aver, only daughter and heir ess to half of the many millions accumu lated by Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, Mass., was soon to marry one of the Bourbons, a cousin of Don Carlos, of Spain. This particular Prince was one of the many impecunious Princes out of situations who roam about Europe, “seeking whom they may devour,” in search of rich American ladies, whose fortunes may be utilized in paying the played-out noblemen’s gambling debts. This noble Bourbon was passionately in love with the aforesaid lady’s—fortune, and did his utmost to capture it. He used to call every day regularly at the Continental Hotel, where she and -her mother resided, and, after being re fused, would not take “No” for an answer, but still continued to plead for a share in the profits accruing and ac crued from “Cherry Pectoral.” Sub lime spectacle! Contemplate it and weep from sympathy! Figure to yourself the noble scion of the very illustrious and thrice puissant house of Bourbon going on his knees to $2,000,000 worth of “Sarsaparilla?” But no, I may have overdrawn the picture. It is not certain that the noble Prince actually went upon his marrow bones in propria person®. Generally speaking he did that by proxy. Though he paid court assiduously and daily in person, the Bourbon Prince sent a formal demand, or, to speak ex actly, several demands by his chamber ain. For, though a “Prince” may have no cash, as long as he can borrow money he keeps up a petty court, and of course must have his chamberlain. The salary was probably in perspectu —to be paid out of the “Cherry Pecto ral” money when won. On one occasion, when this deputy came to ask the hand of Miss Ayer-in marriage, or rather to inform that young lady that His Highness the Prince A de Bourbon proposed to confer upon her, a plain, untitled American, the honor of his name and high-sounding title, Miss Ayer quite peremptorily re fused the honor. Whereupon the cham berlain exclaimed: “Do not say you re fuse him! His Highness the Prince is not a personage who can be refused 1 Oh no, ’tis impossible. Put it in some other form, I beg of you. Bay you are unable to accept of the honor offered you. Anything but a refusal. The Prince is not an ordinary man to be re jected in this manner.” Notwithstand ing the fervid eloquence of the cham berlain, Miss Ayer did refuse his master squarely, peremptorily and on more than one, more than a dozen occasions. laxatitw.

The committee are, we understand, now considering the ques tion of Increased water-pressure and the imeesaßy of having a near pump. The present working pump, now in ue, has proven first-das# In every particular. We learn from Capt. R. D. Guerard, the efficient and aide Bnpertntondeut, whom we fonnd in his office yesterday, that the engine was placed 1n position In May, IW7, and although frequently running night and day, has never eoet a aoilar to the city for on(- alds repairs* ;*nd is nearly aa good as. new.

The queattenof theMndflf pumpis It seems now ocenpviDgthe attention f the committee, and a meeting was held -on Tuesday after nnob, 'when ipc merits of the Worthington and B’ake pumps were discussed, but noth tnr decided npou. The Worthington pump seems to ttd fkvored, as it has been found to work admirably here, and is very. Jnghlv Indorsed throughout the country wherever it has been put in use. The Blake pump, from wbat we learn, has only the merit of being a little cheaper, and no testimonial as to its capacity, effi c!ency, or character, have.it appears, been ’’produced. The Worthington la well known, and in a matter of so great importance it would seem there should be no hesitanev as to arriving at a decision where only a few thousand dollars sire concerned. The cost of the Worthing ton pump, with all the new improvements, aaid a duty of five million of gallons, Is $26,- 500, and the Blake is $23,150. The former is indorsed in unqualified terms by all wa ter works’ engineers, and it is conceded to be the best that is made. Savannah has tried one of these pumps and the result is satisfactory, and from the statements made it may be pronounced cheaper than the B’ake, although the first cost is greater. The cost of the one now In use at the water works was $25,000, but under ar rangements then made only $20,000 was Daid for it. We understand that Col. J. D. Cook, of Toledo, Ohio, who Is considered one of best water works engineers, and an expert in all such matters, will be in Savannah within the next ten days, and will have an interview with the authorities, until which time nothing definite will be done. Colonel Cook makes a specialty of the stand pipe (or reservoir), and will bring with him speci fications of one to be submitted to our au thorities. Sharp Burglars—Two Robberies. A system of daring robberies has been developed this week, despite the vigilance of our police. On Tuesday night one or more thieves entered the house of Captain Robert C. Kennedy, corner of Broughton and Habersham streets, and appropriating such clothes aa had apparently been worn during the day by the occupants, retired Into the yard, where they searched the pockets, taking what money and valuables they could find, left the garments on the ground and decamped. It has been the custom of the burglars about this city to take everything they could carry with safety out of the bouses which they entered, and hence there was a clue which eventually led to their arrest, but those conducting the present operations only take money. This is the sec ond robbery of the kind this week, and it will be well for housekeepers to see that the doors and windows of their residences are fastened, as in both of the cases that have come to our attention outside doors were left open in order that the family might get the benefit of the breezes at night. A Beautiful Souvenir. We acknowledge the receipt of a hand somely executed piece of music, entitled “The Years are Going On,” published by the well known music house of Messrs. Lud den A Bates. The verse was composed by the accomplished editor of the Southern Jiutical Journal, Rev. Henry W. Cleveland, and was set to music by Mr.; J. A. Bates, for whom they were written on the occasion of the thirteenth anniversary of bis wedding. It is dedicated to bis amiable and worthy wife, and was sung by Mr. Bates on the occasion of the anniversary celebration. The song, which is composed of three verses, is pecu liarly appropriate and touching, and doubt less every word found echo in the heart of the singer as he warbled them to hi 6 thirteen year old bride. Meanwhile we tender him the wish that he and hts good wife may indeed “journey many a mile before they stop all night.” A Terrible Accident A Big Toe {Hashed OH. John Spaulding, a colored laborer, em ployed at the Central Railroad wharves, met with a terrible and exceedingly painful accident about twelve o’clock yester day morning. He was wheeling a heavy bar of railroad iron on a truck when it slipped off, and falling upon his left foot severed his big itoe as com pletely and neatly as though the operation bad been performed with a sharp knife. The Injured man was placed in a wagon and conveyed to the office of Dr. T. B. Chis holm’s, where his damaged foot was dressed and he was made as comfortable as possible. When he reached the physician’s office he was very faint from the loss of blood, the wound having bled profusely. Grand Summer Nlght’e Festival. The Savannah Schuet zen Gesaellchaft will inaugurate a grand Summer Night’s Festival at their beautiful pajk on the 4th of July. Shooting will commence at 10 o’clock and dancing will be continued until midnight. The grounds will be illuminated and the Guards’ Band and a fine string band will be present. The admission for gentle men will be fifty cents, ladies and children free. Those who desire to have a good time should make their arrangements for going. Not Yet Recovered. Winn, the diver, made several attempts yesterday to recover the body of the Portu guese, John Francis, who committed suicide by drowning in the river on Tuesday after noon, which proved unsuccessful. It is supposed that the body has caught in some way under the tug Stacy Clark, which is lying just east of where the Portuguese jumpeu overboard. The tide was running out rapidly at the time, and the impression is the sue tic n from the vessel drew him tinder. Stocks and Bonds.

N The sqtyegt qjLtbe comelß contlnuas to he the aheofWng .topie of conversation and bids fair to -seHpee in Interest the “talk about thir weatter.*' This interest Is in creased by the Aaobunoetnent of the dis covery of another- comet. One ha& been sfieii at 9 o’clock, which disappeared shortly after 10, and the other at S o'clock In the morning. The tall of one was towards the zenith, and ihe other towards the horizon. These changes of position, however,may be attributed to the movement of the earth, and ft my .therefore be assumed that the comets seen at different times are one and the same. “hi fact,” says Prof. Draper, “all that we care about this comet is to make a per fect photograph of It, and to make good Obaervations of its spectrum, and thus dis cover, if it is possible, of what elementary bodies it is composed. The prevailing idea among scientists at present is that the main constituent of a comet is carbon, associated perhaps with hydrogen, so as to form a body analogous to some of the hydro carbons which we find on this earth, like naphtha, or perhaps coal gas. But no really large comet has heretofore appeared since the spectroscope has been brought to sufficient perfection to enable us to determine this point well. First, we want to get a good photograph of this comet, and then we want to secure its spectrum. “Its motion to the north will carry it fur ther above the horizon every day, until it gets so far awsy from us that it will dis&p appear, and of course It will become less brilliant day by day. It would be rash in me to attempt to predict how long it will stay with us. That is a question for the mathematical astronomers to determine. The comet is traveling at a very good rate of speed, but I think it will be some time before it will escape us entirely. The tail points from the sun. It is a very strange phenomenon, this of a body driving away from the sun at a tremendous velocity, and its tall preceding instead of following it, but it to a phenomenon which is not new to the observers of comets. It is one of the mysteries of the comet which has never been explained. The tail of this comet is curved somewhat, too, instead of being straight. This is another peculiarity which characterizes most comets. It was this sword shape of the tall which ÜBed to create such consternation among the ignorant upon the appearance of comets. The people took it to be a sign that they were to be cut down and destroyed. It la considered probable by physicists that the tail is com posed of the same material as the nucleus and coma, only in the latter the material is more condensed, in the nucleus possibly assuming a liquid form. “An interesting feature of the study of the composition of comets,” continued Prof. Draper, “is the fact that if, as we be lieve, from our present information, comets conta'n the elementary substance carbon, they indicate a possibility for organic life to exist elsewhere than on this little earth of our own. Carbon is an essential ingre dient in all organized structures, plants as well as animals, and although the tempera ture of a comet is too high to admit of the existence of any living thing, the fact re mains that otner bodies than the earth possess this essential ingredient of organic life. I have no doubt myself that spectro scopic observations will confirm the theory of the presence of carbon in the composi tion of comets. It is an established fact that carbon has been found in meteorites, and there is now but little doubt In the minds of scientific men that a close relation exists between meteorites and comets. The Italian astronomer, Schiaparelli, has re cently shown very conclusively that streams of meteors seemed in certain cases to have an orbit identical with those of comets that have disappeared. If this be true, it fol lows almost, certainly that meteorites are the relics of departed comets, and carbon being found in them would Indicate with tolerable certainty its presence in the comets. But this sueject is such anew one, comparative ly, that it is very difficult to arrive at any definite conclusion. If I can get a good spectrum from tbe comet now with us I will be able to secure some definite results.
