New York, Indiana, New .lersey, Con

A writer in the Montgomery Adver
tiser is plagiarising the style of David
the psalmist. Just, listen at him: “Let
steel hulking in Alabama be successfully
begun and Birmingham real estate will
overtop the mountains that shadow
Jones valley and the very dust of the
town become as solid as the iron-ribbed
hills.”
I'm nck A i.uxANiHvit will receive $800,000
in cash and have his debts paid, amount
ing to as much more, as indemnity for
his deposition. Bulgaria, which did not
want him deposed, will have to pay the
money, the obligation therefor being in
dorsed by Russia, the Bulgarian treasury
being empty. The officials of Alexander’s
court will also be Indeminifietl. This is
a pointer for princes. If they are hard
up, or out of it job, they can have them
selves deposed.
Mu. Bi.aixb has probably conceived of
a hundred plans by which he hopes to
thwart the will of the American people
and yet install himself in the white
house. The delicious morsel lmng so
long near his quivering lips that lie does
not yet realize that it was not intended
for him. Thus it is that having been
so thoroughly confident he is willing to
resort to any desperate scheme to accom
plish this one hope of his life. But
Mr. Blaine is doomed to disappointment.
Dav goods dealers and ladies handle
dress fabrics all their lives and speak of j
them f"‘«.iliarly, but probably very few I
of them know the origin of the names I
they pronounce so glibly. Damask, I
most people know, gets its name from I
Damascus; but how many know that 1
satin is from Zaytown in China? Calico j
'Oiiies from Calicut, a town in India, \
Muslin is named for Mosul in Asia; alii- j
puea is from an animal in IVru; buck- -
ram from Bochara; fustian from Fostat, a
city ol the middle ages, cambric from ;
Cambria, gauze from Gaza, baize from j
Bavac, dimity from Dumietta, and jeans
from Jean. Drugget is named for Drog- j
lieda, and duck for Torque. Blanket is
named alter one Thomas fllanko. Velvet
is from the Italian Vellnto. In the rush
of modern life we lose sight of the be
ginnings of things and the origin of
names.
Titos wood’s Austrialian puzzle, which is
now creating a furor throughout the
country, is a device consisting of six
email bits of wood which may be put
together in such a way as to form six
squares, the puzzle being in putting them
together in this shape. It was invented
in 17DU, and after fifty years of litigation
ttie suit involving the title has been de
cided. Tiie trial of the suit for £50,000
took place in London August 5, before
the court of chancery for Essex, Sir
Mouteith Hargrave presiding. It has
been patented throughout the world, as
it invoices a scientific principle and is
Ueud extensively for building suspension
bridges. Mr. George C. Wood, of Mil
waukee, has the controlling interest in
representing the American heirs.
A Cincinnati dispatch says: James M. Sworn-
stedt, the noted holy prophet of Walnut Hills,
in an interview to-day, stated that the recent
earthquake was caused by bad spirits in the
bowels of the earth. They i^the spirits) are intel
ligent as men, and have complete knowledge of
the uses of dynamite, gunpowder, etc. They
have been trying to blast a passage to the surface
of the earth, and thus escape bondage. The ex
plosions incident to these operations have caused
the earthquakes. I have foretold this phenom
ena. It is a sign of the end of the Christian age.
, The United States will be destroyed within two
years, and all the wicked people will die, and the
others will go to Palestine.
It would be a good idea for the “Holy
Prophet of Walnut Hill,” and Professor
McGee to meet and hold a joint debate
on their respective theories. The “Holy
Prophet” is a little off—a little crippled
under the hat but that only fits him the
better for grasping Professor McGee’s
theories. We can’t say that we have
absolute faith in the theory of either the
“Holy Prophet” alias Swornstedt, or
Professor MeGee; but in choosing be
tween the two, give us the “Prophet’s”

UNITED AT I,ANT.
Ex-Governor Fairchild, Commander of
the Grand Arniy of the Republic, recent
ly visited Charleston. He saw the deso
lation and distress, present and threaten
ed. Moved by that touch of nature which
is said to make the whole world kin, he
issued an appeal tolhe army foV aid for
the sufferers. The dispatches state that
it is meeting a hearty response from every
post, and that almost wherever an old
soldier can be found be is giving of bis
own substance and collecting from others
for the aid of the razed and crumbled
city by the son. This fact is, perhaps,
the most significant and pleasing inci
dent of the many which this calamity
has brought like bright bubbles to the
surface of the body politic. It is true the
laying low of Charleston was enough to
moisten the eyes and open the palm of
any individual man. Who has not heard
of Charleston? Set in the rim of the
sighing sea like a gem on the
bosom of beauty, and girded about by
memories of the solemn and mi. ty pa t
history has embalmed its traditions in
fadeless ink, and the school children of
two hemispheres have learned to lisp its
name. For two centuries it has been the
capital of chivalry, and the sun and cen
tre of the south’s loftiest civilization.
But as fire is as much a had master as it
is a good servant, so the hot blood in the
swarthy Carolinian’s veins which makes
him impulsive in his generosity, makes
him also quick to resent. When the
murky cloud of the great conflict between
the states swam up on the horizon like
some cruisoT, strange and black, from tho
evil world, .South Carolina greeted the
portentious omen with wild hurralis of
delight. South Carolina was first in the
war, as she was honestly in the war,
and Charleston, her metropolis, was the
head and front of the offending. If it
was a grievous sin, grievously has she
answered it. For during the four years
that this continent was drunk on gore, the
little “Palmetto State” unstintingly
poured her blood into the bottomless
chalice of Mars. Sometimes stricken by
a sharpshooter the Carolinian died in the
dank and lonely swamp with no ear to
hear bis groan or catch the gurgle of lust
life blood as it spouted away like water;
sometimes on fields that were shot-sown
aiul blarled with steel, he leaped into
eternity to the wild thrumming music
of a thousand harps of war. But wher
ever he fell he counted as one precious
coin to pay the little commonwealth’s
awful debt to the gods.
After the war South Carolina again be
came a part of the union—a fragment
that was pinned to the rest with bayonets
and cemented with blood. She with
drew into her shell. The mark
ing of maps and the making of
programmes for the “New South,” pos
sessed no charms for her. Like Job on
bis ash-heap scraping his sores with
broken pottery, she begged to be left
alone. And left alone she was, while the
vultures of the new era fed upon her
bleeding vitals. But by and by the peo
ple who had ruled the gallant little state
before the war began to rule again. The
yoke was broken by-a superhuman ef
fort, and South Carolina began to smile
between her tears. She felt bettor to
ward the north more and more every
year. Many northern men came within
her borders to live. They became citi
zens and brethren in fact as well os
name, Old things were passed away.
The feeling of .sisterhood between the
states of all the union which
makes them distinct as the billow--
and one as the sea, had at last included
South Carolina too. she had made ad
vances toward the north and the north
bad met her half way. But still there
was something lacking. There was a
feeling on both sides that the love that
each professed was not a love that was
free fiom guile. There was needed a
great calamity, an earthquake, to throw
haughty South Carolina sobbing into
the bosom of the union. And it has
come. Was it the hand of God that
shook those brick mansions and mighty
steeples together like the toy blocks of
children ? Who knows ? His ways are
not ours; and He holds the winds in His
fists and the waves in the hollow of
His hand. This calamity that has
churned a great city into a pile of
brickbats may be u blessing to the
whole union. It is more blessed to
give than to receive. But the crowning
picture of beauty amid all this deso
lation is the spectacle of the Grand Army
of the Republic building up a city which
twenty odd years ago they sought above
till other cities to destroy. Truly the
“year of jubilee” has come, and the men
and women in this country are coming
to love each other as they never did be
fore. When Boston, the centre of the
organization of the Grand Army of tho
Republic, gave Charleston sixty thousand
dollar-, the whole south thanked God
for it, not for the money, for the spirit.
Think of it, Bostonians grieving over the
calamity of the people in Charleston, and
helping them to rebuild their shattered
homes! Of a truth the lamb and the lion
are lying down together and a little child
—the little child that lay in the manger
at Bethlehem—is leading them both.
to indicate “the percentage of losses per
$1000 of the amount collected by the
federal government from the adminis
tration of Washington to that of Gar
field.” There are sonio things in it that
will surpise tho American people—-for i!
shows or pretends to show that the ad
ministrations of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and
Van Huron were very profligate and cor
rupt, compared with those of Lincoln,
Johnson, Grunt and Hayes. The per
centage of losses under Washington was
four times us great as under Grant ; it was
fifty per cent, more under Lincoln than
under Johnson, and it. was twenty-four
times as great uuder Grant as under
Hayes. It makes tiie Hayes admini -
tration the model one in American his
tory—notwithstanding the little respect
which the republican party is in the
habit of showing for it and him in these
latter days.
The trick in this laughable exhibit of
republican integrity was clearly exposed
in the last campaign, and it is only a
proof of the amazing effrontery of the
republican press that the worthless old
thing is reproduced at this time. It was
adroitly prepared by the republican con
gressional committee so as not to include
the stealings of the whisky ring, the cus
tom house ring, the Indian ring, the
post traders’ ring, the navy ring, the star
route ring, the Credit Mobilier and the
other huge conspiracies and combina
tions that flourished through the repub
lican regime and robbed the coun
try of more mpney than all the adminis
trations from Washington down to Jack-
son cost. It gives the losses of moneys
“collected by the federal government”—
and it is at this point the trick comes in,
for the republican rings stole millions of
money before it was collected, not from
the treasury, but before it got to the
treasury. It does not take into the
account the $7,000,000 stolen by the
whisky ring, nor ilie $5,000,000 stolen
ky the star route gang, nor the $45,-
0(10,000 fraudulently pocketed by the
Credit Mobilier; nor does it give us
one word of explanation of the mystery
by which all the republican leaders ac
cumulated fortunes of half a million to
five millions each on congressional sala
ries of $5000. During the administration
of President Grant the republican civil-
service commission estimated in its re
port to the government that the losses of
public money at that time were one-
fourth the whole revenue of the govern
ment. As the revenue at that time was
about $400,000,000 a year, this republican
estimate made the losses $100,000,000 a
year.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, of the
City Temple church, London, who has
been entertaining Sir. Beecher, has come
to the conclusion that, as he writes to the
Advance, “you must live with Mr.
Beecher to understand Mr. Beecher.
Before he came to be my guest I had
viewed him with the wonder which
may he bestowed upon a planet. Notv j
that we have lived together I accord
him the affection which is due to the
tenderest manliness and the most wih-
ome modestv.”
