COLUMtfUa SUNDAY ENQUIKERSUN: SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1885.
JOHN KING, - • Proprietor
SUNDAY.. AUGUST 30. 1885
Ul 17. Iiu4 •» Fall
Headers of the Enqciber-Bun are
familiar with the terrible aalamlty
■which has recently been visited upon
Charleston and the neighboring
Islands. The leading newspaper
published in that city tells us It is
safe to say that in their power lor
evil the brood of “Swamp Angels,”
who poured their shot and shell into
Charleston during the Beige of that
city by the federal forces, were mere
popguns in comparison with
Heaven’s red artillery as it spoke to
Charleston on the day of the storm.
The church spires, some of which
had triumphed over the vicissitudes
of century after century of peace, and
was the target for federal artillery'
men year after year, were smitten
down by the winds and shorn of their
fair proportions. Our cotemporary,
the News and Courier, recounts the
great destruction of property that
gave the city the appearance of a
desolate waste and closes with these
courageous and philosophical woids:
••If tali calamity eball leach ci, as leash
It can, that we.are all In the mum boat, be>
*ng In ibe same city; that we most stand
nr fell together; (hat no cne man or hall
rtozsn men ian prosper at the expensa of
t at reel of the comm unity, and that the
way—and the only way—for svery ona to
proa per la lor all the people to poll together
and lo help eecb other—In hopelolceaa. In
klndneea, in love—this apparent loee,which
•a now bowlrg oa down, will beocmeio vaet
a gain tba< Oharleeton will date the begin
nlog cf lie grealneae from this atorm of
1885.”
These are noble words and well will
it be for Charleston if they are taken
to heart. “A fellow-feeling makes
us wondrous kind,” but we should
await no dire calamity to recall the
duty and obligation we owe one to
another. As Charleston learns in
her hour of adversity, let us treasure
the lesson in our prosperity. As man
is imperfect In every other respect,
so he is in his affections, and they,
like other parts of his nature, still
need culture and nourishment to de.
velop the beauty and richness of
which they are capable. Nothing
endears one person to another so
mnch as aiding and serving him, es-
pecially if self sacrifice is involved.
Giving what is valued always in-
creases affection to the recipients,
even If it be only material benefits
that are conferred, much more when
it is our time, our labor and our>
selves. Much of the love that promises
to be eternal fades and pales
from the lack of this mutual service.
Frieuds at first eager to pour out their
love in every possible way, think
ing no task too hard, aDd no sacrifice
too great, that may add to the bappn
ness of each other, after awhile relax
their efforts, perhaps unconsciously.
Each one, however, is keeDly alive
to the change in the other, and hence
arise suspicion and distrust, and a
sense of injury, and love In such an
atmosphere Is sure to languish. To
Impart liberally of what we have, of
what we do, and of what we are, is
necessary to the healthy growth of
affection, and although a perfect love
would of itself prompt and encourage
this, the love that is not perfect may
be exalted and sustained thereby.
Columbus is not behind any of her
sister cities in those elements which
give strength and character to her
citizens. Our people recognize the
dignity of labor and appreciate that
wears dependent one upon theoths
er. In unity alone there is strength,
and when there is no love, no affec
tion, there is no unity. Then what.
ever be the love with which we are
bleet and by which we bless others,
let us not only rejoice in it, but treas
ure it, strengthen and nourish it by
all the elements that conduce to its
growth and permanence, so that it
will yield its richest fruits.
than real evil, much of that which
Is endured might be obviated if ma*
licious persons would hold their
tongues, respect the rights and In.
tercets of others, and devote more
time and energy toearcingan honest
living.

The president and directors of the
Georgia Midland railroad say that It
really does not matter whether At
lanta makes good her boasts and sub-
scribes her q uota to the Midland rail
road. In any event this railroad will
be built. This community has been
true to its reputation and record, and
cheerfully did what was asked of
them. That act makes the road cer
tain. It will go to a point that will
do something to get it there. During
this week the subscription notes
which each Individual subscriber Is
to sign, will be presented for signa
tures. This gets the Columbus sub
scription in a shape to be used, and
the directors state they risk nothing
in saying that in less than eighteen
months we will have an Independent
railroad.

New York, August 29.—The
stock market to day has been alter
nately moderately active aud ex
tremely dull and firm. The fluctua
tions, however, nave not been wide,
as a rule, until during the last hour,
when there was a decided bleak, led
by ibe grangers. Prices were weak
at first and the market then became
extremely dull and comparatively
steady until late in tbe afternoon,
when, tbe announcement that the
dividend declared on Northwestern
preferred stock was only 1}
instead of 2, caused a heavy
break In all of the grangers in which
the rest of the list sympathized. De
clines ranged 1 to 2; Vanderbilt’s and
Lackawanna being tne next weakest
shares. Lackawanna was heavy all
day on account of the unfavorable
condition of the ooal trade, although
there have been no new develop
manta. Tbe action of tbe Northwes-
tern directions, although not necee
sarily meaning a reduction of divi
dends on common stock, is generally
accepted as the first intimation
such action.
The market closed generally at the
loweet prices of the day, with a de
cline, as compared with last evening,
of 31 in Northwestern, 1J in 8t Paul
2jj m Omaha common aDd 4j pre
ferred, 2 in Lake Shore, 1J in New

Nashville was weak all day and
closed with a loss of 1J. Other do
cllnes were fractional in amount,
The market closed weak with a de
cidedly bearish feeling among tbe

The slang phrases, though not al
ways elegant, are apt to be expres*
sive. The tired world needs rest
from the iucesaant strain and worry
of busy, active life. Though com.
paratively few people are chronicled
as dying from overwork, yet doubt.
less many a lile would be lengthened
from a little more rest. The tension
upon the vital forces proves toostroog
for ordinary tenacity and poor mor
tality yields to premature decay and
dissolution. Those who bear tbe
grievous burdens of existence need
more holidays and relaxation. Tbe
stern necessity for labor leads many
to believe that they cannot survive
except by incessant iflort, while
others, prompted by the sordid love
of lucre, toil early and late for the
mere gratification of hoarding money,
which often, in after years, proves
rather a cu-se than blessing to those
to whom it Is transmitted. While
laudable industry and thrift are com
mendable, yet it is sometimes well to
remember that whether we work or
play “It’s all in a lifetime,” and that
tboee who work tbe hardest are not
always the meet prosperous.
A proper admixture of toil and rtst
will conduce to health and happiness,
enable people to live longer and ex
tract mist happiness from living.
The American people bear the repu
tation of being the hardest wr rktd
people on earth, and while they art
among the most prosperous, it is not
evident that they live longer or hap
pier than other nations. A moderate
degree of rest recuperates and

Lawrence. Kas, August 29 —The
sheriff returned yesterday from Mis-
s uri with B F Talbott, who was
placed in the county Jail for horse
stealing committed over a year ago.
Talbott was -ouod in Calloway coun
ty conducting a series of camp meet-
legs, i-eing in charge of a circuit of
i wo or three surrounding eouDties, in
which work he has been engaged for
the past nine months. He is a
mulatto, twenty-eight years of
age, is very intelligent and
attended the Methodist Episcopal
university at Baldwin City, this
c-'u-ity, for two years up to June,
1S84 when he stole a team of horses
aud sold them in Warreneburg, Mo.
Ue stole two horses there, and return
ing sold them in this county. The
sher.fi found Talbott holding forth in
a cole red church at Boydsville, and
was obliged to take him from his
congregation in a fainting condition,
tbe orotbers and sisters tearfully be
seeching tbe officer not lo take the
brother away. Talbott will plead
guilty.

Baadal to Enasira-Bu.
London, Aug 29 —Additional sen
sation was attacued 'o the Spanish
rumor giving Bismarck’s reason for
tbe seizure of tbe Caroline Is acds.
The rumor attributed to tbecbsncellor
a determination to obtain pos.-ession
of Cuba, aod explains bis oonduct in
takiDg tbe Carolines as a ruse to se
cure an understanding between the
Untied States and Germany in re
gard to the outiyirg Spa ieh
possessions as a result of which Ger
many would permit tbe Uoited States
to secure the Phillippine islands, if
the Washington government would
consent to Germany’s annexation of
Cuba. It is strongly maintained in
some quarters that Bismarck has for
a long rime had his eye on Cuba, and
that be has assured himself of the
support of certain western American
sugar interests in this scheme.
Englishmen of moderate views
scout the idea that tbe United States
will ever permit any German occu
pation of Cuba and affect to perceive
in this reported Bismarchian proj et
a deeply designed intrigue to involve
the Americans in the European
squabble. This story comes in Paris,
wnere it is extensively discussed.
The Spanish colony in the French
capital are furiously indignant over
the whole thing.
TheTagblatt, of Berlin,in referring
to the matter to-day remarked that
the beautiful ladies of Cuba will soon
be the lovely subjects of Emperor
William.
Kiog Alfonso has been informed
by telegraph of the reported Spanish
occupation of Yap, the principal city
oi the Caroline islands. He will re
turn from San Iidefonso on Monday
to preside over a special meeting of
the Spanish cabinet called to con
sider the Caroline sfiair.
It is stated that after the imperial
meeting at Kramsier last Wednesday
the czar and his immediate family
appeared to be unusually pleased over
what had transpired The confer
ence between Gii re, Russian foreign
minister, and Kaluaki, Austrian
minister of foreign affairs, lasted four
bours. It is believed that at
this conference Giers obtained
the promise of Austrian interest
in securing Turkish neutrality in the
event of war between Russia and
Eugland. In accordance with the
decision arrived at by Bismarck dur
ing his conference with Kalnakee at
Varzein, it is certain that during tbe
whole time of the Imperial confer
ence at Kremsier telegrams were be
ing constantly passed between
Scblass and Berlin.
The Russian ambassy in London
has for several dayB been busy in the
work of winding up the amicable
negotiation between Russia and Eng
land, concerning the bundary ques
tion. M Lessar, Russian special
commission on tbe question, will soon
start for Askabad.
A belief is growing among the mil -
itary and other friends of Gen Gor

faith become that a mission hag or

The work of preparing this mission

About tbe alleged murder of Oiivler
Pain by the British in the Soudan is
a bypathetical scheme to organize an
anti-English sen intent among the
French people. R ichefort, the prin
cipal agitator in this movement,
hated Pain, and to those that
knew of the bitter enmity which
existed between the two men
demagogues, the artificial hor
ror over the alleged murder is
very amusing, If not disgusting. For
months before Pain’s last departure
from France, Rochefort absolutely
out Pain’s acquaintance. Tbe editor
gave as a reason for his contemj tuoua
treatment of the adventurous Bohe
mian the statement that Pain had
been dismissed from tbe staff of the
Intriusigaent (Rocaefort’s paper) for
opening the editor-, private letters
and documents. R ichefort used
to accuse Pain of being a secret traitor
of tbe French radical cause, and al
leged that while he went to the Sou
dan ostensibly as a war correspond
ent of tbe Paris Figaro, he really took
with him a la-ge sum of money en
■ rusted to him indirectly by the
French government to induce El
Mahdi to continue in his revolt
against the khedive by holding
out to the prophet prom
ises of subsidies from un
kaowu quarters. Pain, Rochefort
once declared, even if alive, would
never reappear while there was any
prospect of his wife obtaining a pen
sion or indemnity for his alleged
loss.
The German government is pre
paring for the approval of the reich-
stag bill for the construction oi sev
eral new canals witb the empire. One
of these bills is for a ship canal
from (he Baltic sea to the German
ocean, with strong forts at each
mouth aud at commanding poiDts on
the routes. This work will cost an
enormous sum of money, and the
water way would never be able by
any possible traffic upon it to repay
even this interest upon the cost of
construction.
Two ladies belonging to families of

hartington’s speech at rose
DALE.
The marquis of Hartington, who
was minister of war under the Glad
stone government, delivered an ad
dress at R isedale to-day, in which
he urged the extension of local eelf
government so that parliament
might be enabled to give its atten>
tion solely to imperial legislation.
No party, he said, would evercoDcede
Parnell’s demands, the ultimate re
sult of which would be to biud tbe
British members, irrespective of pol«
itica, to combine to keep the empire
intact.
Hartington also said he was glad
that Parnell bad explicitly defined
his position and the confidence in
which b’s alliance could be pur
chased. He thought that no political
party in England would consent to
acquire or obtain office by conceding
Parnell’s demands. He believed tbat
that gentleman had i r once ma a
misiske in openly stating tiis
demands, and had thereb'-
insured his own deiiat. If
he persisted in his policy of obstruc
tion, means would be found by a
practically uni tec people to Impose a
firm veto on the proposals that were
fatal to the integrity and prosperity
of the empire. Hartington dis
claimed tbe extreme socialistic pro
gramme of the Chamberlin psr*y and
favored moderate measures of land
reform.
ernments are at present busily en
gaged iu arranging the last details of
tbe mutual understanding, aud ne

Baltimore, August 29. —The Bal
timore Manufacturers’ Record says
that the last two weeks of the last
month of summer, despite the usual
dullness to be expected, have shown
a remarkable activity in the organi
zation of new industrial enterprises
throughout the south. The splendid
crops have imparted new life to busi
ness, and preparations are being
made for great activity in industrial
aod trade circles. Among the most
important enterprises reported by the
Manufacturers’ Record during the

mary of a few of tne most important
enterprises reported in two weeks
only by the Manufacturer’s Record.
It shows some thing of the activity
now prevailing in the establishment
of new industries in the South, even
during what is usually a dull sum
mer month, and gives promise ot
what may be expected during the
fall and winter.
