UNION & RECORDER.
Milledgeville, Ga., May
Minister Phelps sailed for England
on the 5th. | _
The relations between .Russia and
England are not so pleasant as they
were a week ago-
General Grant is again at work on
the second volume of his history of
the war. It is almost completed.
Dr Rurchard, he of “Rum, Roman
ism and Rebellion’’ fame, has stepped
|iown and out of Murray Hill church.
The democrats ought to pension him.
Palmer’s offence.—It was stated
at the Post Office Department to-day
that Postmaster Palmer, of Chicago,
was removed for “offensive partisan
ship.”
President Cleveland has appointed
Hon. S. Coming Judd as postmaster
at Chicago in place of Palmer, remov
ed. Judd is a good Democrat, and
will fill the bill. Next!
Gail Hamilton is to have an article
in the June number of the North
American Review on “Prohibition in
Politics,” written in her most caustic
vein. A literary critic who has read
it says that he infers that Gail lias
not the most exalted admiration for
the cold water bolt of the last elec
tion.
Arrest of Maxwell.—Maxwell,
the alledged murderer of Preller in
St. Louis, whose body was found in a
trunk in a room in which they both
slept, l;as been arrested in the Island
of New Zealand. That island is in the
South Pacific Ocean and before tin-
invention of cable communication one
would have been safe from capture in
that far distant land.
It is stated that the Austrian Gov
ernment objects to Mr. Keiley as U.
S. Minister to that country. It is
supposed that is caused by his Avife
being a Jewess. Mr. Keily accompa
nied by his family sailed for Europe
on the 7th. We think it not probable
that Austria will object to Mr. Keily
for such a reason as is supposed to
exist. If Austria should object be
cause his Avife is a Jewess, and if he is
accredited, but his Avife not received
at court upon social terms usual in
such cases, our goA'ernment should
recall Mr. Keily and suspend diplo
matic relations Avith that court. The
right and dignity of his Jewish Avife
should be as sacredly maintained as
that of any protestant, catholic, or
other race or persuasion.
The National Commercial Convention.
We invite the attention of our readers ]
to the fact that this Convention Avill
meet in Atlanta, on the 19tli inst. It
is expected to proA-e one of the most
able and beneficial deliberative as
sembles Avliich has ever coirvened in
this country. A very large number
of delegates will be present. Among
whom, are expected many of our most
distinguished and successful citizens,
representing the commercial interests
of the whole country. Each toAvn of
one thousand inhabitants is entitled
to one delegate. Cheap fare on rail
roads will be arranged and the public
duly notified of rates charged.
A SOCIAL RUPTURE.
Mrs. Hendricks Threatening: to Sever Iso
lations With the White House.
Special to the Philadelphia Times.
Washington, May 3.—The first for
mal essay of the President in the so
cial line has giA'en rise to a Avliisper of
disapprobation which will doubtless
swell in volume as the Administration
waxes older, unless the Chief Magis
trate should very promptly submit to
a change of front and conform the so
cial regime of the Executive Mansion
to the claims of precedence formulated
and preferred by the friends of the
Avife of the Vice President. While the
American people were reading with
interest the account of the first pub
lic reception giA’en at the ExeeutiA’e
Mansion a feAv days ago, the President,
through inadvertence perhaps, plaht-
ed the seeds of a social rupture be-
ttveen himself and the Vice President
which may be more troublesome than
the setting aside of ‘ Joe" McDonald
as member of liis official household.
It Avas then charged that Avhile Mc
Donald was the unfortunate victim
the principals in the contest were the
conjugal companions of the amiable
Vice President and the would-be Cab
inet Minister. The Vice President
carried the day and his excellent lady
came to Washington, leaA’ing her ri
val to dwell in the social obscurity of
a counsel’s wife in Hoosierdom.
Then came the first social eA’ent of
the Administration. The bachelor
President, instead of iriA’iting the Avife
of the Vice President to preside, con
ferred that honor upon the daughter
of his Secretary of State. The fact is
the Avife of the Vice President Avas not
e\’en iiwited, therefore, if she entered
the portals of the stately ExeeutiA’e
pile it would be on the simple plane
of American Avomanhood. Hut that
exalted station was not sufficient.
This high spirited dame stayed at
home and the relations between the
Chief Magistrate of the Nation and
the liftli wheel of tin- Executive ma
chine haA’ebeen sadly “strained”. The
offended lady of the Vice Presidential
family threatens to seA’er social rela
tions with the ExecutiA-e household,
and in a day or tavo will return to In
diana to await deA’elopments and the
formal inauguration of the social sea
son of 1885-Oat the National capital.
This is a A’ery delicate subject to
touch upon. Perhaps the correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Times Avas
mistaken us to facts. One thing if
true, is unpardonable, neglecting to
invite Mrs. Hendricks to the first pub
lic reception given at the ExecutiA-e
Mansion. Resides being the wife of
the Vice President she is a lady of rare
accomplishments, winning manners
and social grace. Again but for Mr.
Hendricks’ Avonderfui popularity and
active exertions Mr. Cleveland would
not liuA'e been elected.
The Baptist Convention.
The 40th session of the Southern
Baptist Convention met in Augusta
on the 6th. It Avas called to order at
10 o’clock on that day by President
P. H. Mell in the First Baptist Church.
The exe rcises Avere begun Avith sing
ing “Rock of Ages’’ by the Conven
tion, no organ or other instrument
being used. After the singing Dr.
Mell read the 183d Psalm and prayer
Avas offered by Rev. Basil Manley, of
Kentucky, in which lie gaA’e thanks
for the blessings of the past and the
promises of the future, and asked di
vine guidance for the deliberations of
the Convention.—Augusta Chronicle.
At this late period of the week with
probably other several sessions of the
body to be held, Ave could not give
even an abstract of its interesting pro
ceedings in this issue. The city papers
publish the proceedings at large
and they will, also, appear in the
Baptist denominational papers. It
consisted of a very large repre
sentation of the Baptist denomi
nation of the South, and was a A’ery
imposing assemblage of preachers and
laymen of that populous sect of Chris
tians. At t he afternoon session, Hon.
J. C. C. Black in a brief and beautiful
address cordially welcomed the mem
bers of the coiiA’ention to Augusta, to
w liich Dr. W. E. Hatcher of Virginia
responded in behalf of the convention
in a brief and touching reply.
Many of the mosi. distinguished
Ministers of the denomination were
present and altogethe- it Avas a joy
ous ami happy meeting for all inter
ested in the great and useful objects
for which they hail assembled. As
far as they had progressed at this
writing, the convention was distin
guished for its harmony, brotherly love
and desire to promote the prosperity
of the great Bapt ist denomination of
the South.
THE CENTENNIAL CHRONICLE.
We anticipated a work of great
merit. The Centennial Chronicle ex
ceeds our anticipations. The career
of the Chronicle from its full begin
ning. as illustrated on pages 20 and 21,
may be compared to the phases of»tlie
lovely luminary of the night in its
progress from the faint light of neAV
moon to its lull-orbed splendor.
Unclouded and serene, and like a queen
Sailing along the skie3 magnificent.
The following are a very few of the
facts and subjects alluded to in the
great centennial copy : The history of
Georgia when the State consisted of
only ten counties—The naval battle
when TruxtcSn thundered on the
ocean, and the ship L’Insurgente. of
revolutionary France, struck its colors
to the American ship Constellation-
interesting allusions to Napoleon Bo
naparte and the terrific and bloody
French revolution—General Washing
ton s visit to Augusta—Ratification of
the United States Constitution bv
Georgia in Augusta—The alien and
sedition laws—Georgia’s goA’ernors
and legislation—The Yazoo fraud and
act—The Avar of 1812—LaFavette’s vis-
it to Augusta—Troup and the Treaty
—Jackson and his times—The judicia
ry—Everything that relates to Augus
ta s adA’ancement—The Avar with
Mexico—South Carolina—Railroads,
cities and tOAvns of Georgia and South
Carolina—ImproA-ements, manufact
uring. banking, agriculture, and many
things too tedious to mention in a
notice like this, are found recorded in
this almost unprecedented centennial
of a neAvspaper.
It is a brief history of many of the
most interesting periods in the prog
ress of Georgia and South Carolina,
from small beginnings to great tri
umphs in all that constituted sover
eign States. It is an Encyclopedia
that gives its a keen insight and rel
ish into the acts of infant states, en
countering saA’age hostilities anti in
numerable difficulties, overcoming all,
and finally glittering in the golden re
splendency of inspired patriotism,
state pride, and immense power, in
tellectual and physical. Some, but
comparatively a A erv feAv, have kept
diaries of passing eA’ents. Those Avho
have not will find the centennial
diary of many interesting facts for a
hundred years, made to their hand.
We liaA’e not merely glanced at it, but
have devoted many hours to its inves-
tigation. We did this that Ave might
giA’e a matured opinion of the Avork.
In some matters Ave soon saw that we
were on the shoals of forgetfulness,
and Ave Avandered on from page to
page, delighted to tliroAv back glances
to earlier years and scenes where we
suav nothing but a Avorld of beauty,
and objects of sublimity and magnifi
cence. These sensations were brought
fresh to memory and others would
rise up of a hard, time-worn broAv,
knit into a frown in high-wrought
political struggles. But enough of
this.
Just think of a publication of 60,000
copies of a 24 page paper—the enor
mous expense and the kindly distribu
tion of a copy to each subscriber of
the Chronicle, free of charge. Such
an enterprise and such liberality orig
inated in the actiA'e and generous
brain and heart of the Hon. Patrick
Walsh. Augusta is under great obli
gation for the issue of such a Avork.
We commend it to our readers and
others, as a A’aluable souA’enir not on
ly of the career of the Chronicle's
Avork for a hundred years, but of the
great eA’ents which liaA’e occurred in
Georgia and South Carolina, with
other memorable eA’ents, during that
long period of time. The minds of
Georgia and South Carolina youths,
would be much enriched, if parents
would place this centennial paper in
their hands to be read by degrees at
conA’enient hours.
Its A’alue will be so recognized as
not to leaA’e a single copy upon the li
brary shelves of the Chronicle office,
more than will be needed to keep in
perpetual remembrance its great, hon
ored and useful Avork.
We tender our sincere thanks to
Mr. Walsh for a copy, and shall pre-
serA’e it for reference" in our journal
istic labors.
Card of Messrs. Barrett & McMaster.
We take pleasure in referring again
to their "Hill's Hepatic Panacea,” and
bearing our personal testimony to its
great and unfailing virtues. Hepatic,
Hepaticus, are terms deriA’able from
Hepar, the liver. There can be no
good health Avhen the liver is out of
order. In acute affections, of this
great organ, or gland, with high fever
and other distressing symptoms, the
services of a physician may be requir
ed, but in all other, and the great ma
jority of cases, the H. H. P. affords
swift relief, remoA’es indigestion, loss
of appetite, pains in the head, low
spirits and eA’ery other annoying
svinptoiu. It is a little better perhaps
than the Gilder pill, but both are
wonderfully restoratiA’e and are bless
ings to the human race.
OI K MINISTER’S TO RUSSIA.
The President Makes Three Important
Diplomatic Appointments To-day.
Washington, May 8.—President
CleA’eland to-day appointed the follow-
ing ministers of the United States to
foreign countries: Envoy Extraordi-
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
of t lie" United Statesto Russia—George
V. N. Latlirope, of Michigan; Minister

Plymouth. Pa., May 10.—The epi
demic of typhoid fever which has pre
vailed for the past four Aveeks still
continues. Fi\’e deaths Avere added
to the list to-day, and many new
cuses are reported. The work of
burying the dead continued to-day.
there being ten funerals. As one of
the funerals Avas on its way to the
graveyard it A\’as met by three wagons
loaded Avith coffins, which Avere on
their way from tfie depot to the
undertaker's establishment.
The toAvn of Plymouth has apopula-
tion of perhaps 10.000. It is on the
Susquehanna river in Luzerne county,
not far from Wilkesbarre. The plague
began about the first of April. In
forty-six families, known to be in
destitute circumstances, with no mon
ey to buy medicine or ordinary food,
there are 118 sick. The phvsicans say
that the epidemic lias spent its force,
but of the 730 known to be sick 50 or
75 will die. Sixty families liaA-e left
the place within the last tea days.
There are no smiling faces on the
streets. Everybody looks solemn. Un
dertakers' wagons, hearses, and doc
tors' carriages are on the streets at all
hours of the day and night. Drug
stores do not close their doors, and the
march of death has caused many
houses to be tightly closed. Crape
hanging on thirteen doors yesterday-
told the story of Avhat the plague hail
done within.
FLORIDA TRAIN WRECKERS.
Savannah, May 10. -Train wreck
ers set lire to a trestle on the Savan
nah. Florida and Western railway,
about fifty miles north of Jacksoii-
A’ille. Saturday. While burning, a
train ran into the trestle, and the lo
comotive and fifteen cars Avere burn
ed. No lives were lost. This morn
ing the trestle, a short distance north
of the place Avhere Saturday's acci
dent occurred, avus set on fire, but the
fire was discovered by the approach
ing train. All the trestles on the road
are guarded, and the officers are on
the lookout for the wreckers.
When it is considered how essential
to the healthfulness of communities an
abundance of pure Avater is, it will be
difficult to characterize too strongly
the “economy 7 ” of soffie of the town
and city authorities in Georgia. Ar
tesian wells furnish a solution of the
water problem; and communities that
liaA’e not an abundance of pure Avater,
the year round, should have them.

The Southern Baptist convention

last session Rev. J. L. Burrows, D. D.
who Avas present at the organization,
Avas appointed to preach a historical
sermon suitable to the occasion. At
the last meeting in Baltimore there
Avere present 616 delegates. The rela
tions between the Northern and
Southern Baptist churches are most
cordial and corresponding delegates
are annually sent from the one to the
other, but the organizations do not
unite in one convention, because it is
thought that the denominational in
terests can be better serA’ed by sepa
rate boards. The conventions are
merely for the purpose of discussing
the missionary and educational ob
jects of the church and devising means
to carry them on and promote their
success. They formulate no creeds
and exercise on discipline. The con
vention is purely a missionary body,
and is represented during the year by
the foreign home and mission boards.
The Avork is discharged during the
interim betAveen its meetings by 7 two

There is perhaps no “country”
Institution in South Corolina, so
well known as this, and yet it is just
about to celebrate the first decade of
its existence. It av;is begun on the
small capital of fifty cents,—the gift of
an orphan boy, but from that original
fifty-cent piece it lias grown until its
buildings arc iioav tlie most prominent
mark in the landscape of the A'illage
of Clinton. South Carolina, where the
Institution is located. In these ten
years many orphans li:uve enjoyed its
fostering care, and a family of fifty is
iioav sheltered beneath its roof.
An ample farm of 125 acres
furnishes all the the firewood, pastur
age, vegetables, and a part of the
support. A large stone dwelling—the
first house erected,—contains the
girls, and “Faith Cottage,” a neat
concrete building is the home of the
boys. The school is domiciled in a
handsome house recently erected at a
cost of $5,000. There is also a solidly
built house for the culinary and laun
dry Avork. Near by, a new cottage
for another family of orphan boys is
in process of erection.
The maintenance of this Avork ex
clusive of the buildings requires an'
annual outlay of about $3,500, and the
mystery is as'to where it comes from.
As only poor children are received,
there is no income from tuition or
board.—the large majority of the
orphans are of too tender an age to
be able to do much towards
their ovvn support. The older ones
can do little more than to do all the
cooking, washing, ironing, etc., for
the establishment. This they do, and
they ilo it Avith great regularity and
cheerfulness.
The President of the Institution
tells us that “the Lord Prov ides” for
them, but the Lord uses means to do
his work, and the meansthat the Lord
uses in this case to do this work are
the gifts of the Charitable, through
out the bounds of our country. A
good idea,—for each reader of these
lines to sit down quickly and to for
ward a donation for the orphans to
Wm. B. Bell, Esq., Clinton, 8. C. Let
it be either provisions or money.
It is as Sure as the Sun Rise To morrow.
As sure as to-morow’s sun rise is the

useful Goods, our prices are always Lower than those of the “cheap”
trash concerns. This has been proved so often by actual demon
