I Was fear alone that prevented the natives
I from attacking Cook, many of the natives

MUTINOUS CONVICTS.
Ths North Cnrollnn l , enlienllsry the Ross*
oMsrral KxcitrnPits
Rai.eioh, N.C. —This city was thrown
into a state of high excitement Saturday
by the riot alarm being given. The cause
of the alarm was a telephone message
from the penitentiary asking the aid of
the police aud military. The Governor’s
Guards, under tlie command of Captain
F.uglchard, assembled at the armory aud
tiicncc went to the penitentiary, a half
mile west of the city, while the police
and many citizens also hastened to the
scene of trouble.
Just before seven o'clock, while the
convicts were in the yard, a negro pris
oner named Jim Lewis, from New Hau
over county, drew a knife and threatened
to kill anybody and everybody. The
guards surrounded him, and finally one
of them struck him such a sharp blow
that lie dropped the knife. He was then
seized and taken to tho hospital. As
soon as Lewis was struck some of the
other convicts shouted out that Lewis
was killed. Upon this it appears the
convicts made signs as if preparing for a
rush and the guards ran for their guns.
It was not desired to kill the convicts,
but to overawe them. The convicts ga
thered in the rear of the yard and blocked
the corridors and shouted and yelled, but
refused to enter the cells. Thereupon a
call for the police and troops was sent
out. The negro Lewis, who started the
trouble, is in for life for rape, and is a
bad man. An official at the penitentiary
said that he was no doubt the ringleader
iu what was a plot for mutiny. The con
victs are so well and kindly treated that
they have become bold, and the people
in the city were greatly alarmed. To
add to the trouble the gas went out, and
altogether it was decidedly an unpleas
ant eveuing.
THU TKOOP3 ENTER.
The troops entered the penitentiary
aliout nine o'clock at night. At that
hour, all of two hundred and fifty con
victs were in cells save about sixty, all of
whom were negroes. These tore up a
part of tlie brick pavement of the cell
corridor, but made no attempt at attack.
At midnight the gas was again turned
on, and the great building was illumi
nated. No further attempt was made to
force them into the cells. They waved
red flags from the windows of the prison
v, hicli were observed by hundreds of
persons who had assembled near the
building. The talk they indulged in
was very violent. Adjutant General
Jones and Warden Hicks, of the prison,
had a conference with Governor Seales,
who gave instructions that bloodshed
must lie resorted only as an extreme
measure, but it must follow the slightest
attempt to escape or attack. He placed
tlie military under the control of Warden
Hicks. The latter and a member of the
board of directors of the institution
spoke to the convicts. The latter refused
to go in the cells, saying that they
wanted certain grievances redressed. The
authorities informed tlie convicts thut
they must surrender and obey tlie regula
tions, and refused to make any terms.
The convicts then promised to obey and
enter the ceils, which they did at the
usual hour for locking up. The excite
ment here was remarkable, aud was made
more intense by the evident sympathy ol
some outsiders with the mutinous con
victs.

so long as the present rootuod pursued in
furthering their aims prevails, The doc
uments of Cardinal Gibbons have been

Monday night a cyclone visited Suffolk
Va., section with fatal and destructive
effects. Its track was about one bundled
yards wide. The house of John Wright,
six miles north of Suffolk, on the Norfolk

demolished. Wright and his wife and a
young sister and James Luke were in the
house at the time. Mrs. Wright and
Mr. Luke were killed, the young girl

The lloyol Court of the Sabbuths is mode

It is an exciting thing to see an army

They scatter everything valuable in the track.
Unwheeled artillery. Hoof of horse on breast

of the French falling back from frSedan, or
Na|Kl<H>n's track of 110,000 corpees in the
■now banks of Russia, or of the retreat

is a worse discomfiture. It seems that a black
giant proposed to coupler the earth. He
gathered for his host all the aches and pains
ami malarias and cancers and distemper*
and epidemics of the ages. He marched
them down, drilling them in the north
east wind and amid the slush
of tempests. He threw up liar ricades of grave
mound. He pitched tent of charnel house.
Some of the troops marched with slow tread
commanded by consumptions, some in double
quick, commanded by pneumonias. Home he
took by long besiegement of evil habit, and
some by one stroke of the battle axe of cas
ualty. With bony hands lie {>ounded
at the door of hospitals and sick rooms,
and won all the victories in all the great
battlefields of all the five continents. B'orwanl
march, tho conqueror of conquerors, and all
the Generals and ('ommaudors-in-Cnief, and
ail Presidents and Kings and Sultans and
Czars drop under tlie feet of his war-charger.
But one Christmas night his antagonist was
born. As most of the plagues and sick
nesses and despotisms come out
of the East, it was appropriate that
the new conqueror should come out of
the same quarter. Power is given Him to
aw aken ull the falien of all the centuries and
of all lands, and marshal them against the
black giant. Fields have already been won,
but the last day of the world’s exist
ence will see tho decisive liattle. When
Christ shall lead forth His two brigade*,
the brigade of the risen dead and the bngads
of the celestial host, the black giant will fall
back, and the brigade from the riven
sepulchres will take Him from beneath and
the brigade of descending immortals will take
Him from above, and death shall be swal
lowed up in victory.
The old braggart that threatened the con
quest aud demolition of the planet has lost
nis throne, has lost his sceptre, lias lost his
palace, has lost liis prestige, and the one word
written over all the gates of mausoleum and
catacomb and necropolis, on cenotaph and
sarcophagus, oil the lonely khan of the Arc
tic explorer, and on the catafalque ol great
cathedral, written in capitals of azalea
and calla lily, written in musical cadence,
written in doxology of great assemblages,
written on the sculptured door of the family
vault, is “victory.’* Coronal word, emb&u
nered word, apocalyptic word, chief word of
the triumphal arch under which conquerors
return.
Victory! Word shouted at Culloden and
Balaklava and Blenheim, at Megiddo and Sol
ferino, at Marathon, where the Athenians
drove back the Medes; at Poictiera, where
Charles Martel broke the ranks of the Sara
cens; at Salamis, where Themistocles in
the great sea - light confounded the
Persians, an 1 at thj door of the
Eastern cavern of chiseled rock, where
Christ came out through a recess and
throttled the King of Terrors and put him
back in the niche from which the celestial
Conqueror had just emerged. Aha!,when
the jaws of the Eastern mausoleum took
down the black giant “death was swallowed
up in victory.” I proclaim the abolition of
death.
The old antagonist is driven back into my
thology with all the lore about Stygian ferry
and Cliaron with oar and boat. Melrose
Abbey mid Kenilworth Castle aie no more in
ruins than is the sepulchre: We shall have
no more to do with death than we have
with the cloak room at a Governor's or
President’s levee. We stop at such cloak
room and leave in charge of a servant our
overcoat, our overshoes, our outward ap"
pare!, that we may not be impeded in the
brilliant round of the drawing room. Well,
my friends, when we go out of this world we
are going to a king's banuuet, and to a recep
tion of monarclis. and at the door of the tomb
we leave the cloak of flesh and the wrappings
with which we meet the storms of tins
world. At the close of an earthly reception,
under the brush and broom of the porter the
coat or hat may be handed to ns better than
when we resigned it. and the cloak of human
ity w ill Anally Ik? returned to us improved
and brightened and purifled and glorified.
You and I do not want our bodies returned
as they are now. We want to get rid of all
their weakenesses and ull their susceptibilities
to futigneand all their slowness of locomotion.
They will be put through a chemistry
of soil and heat and cold and chang
ing seasons out of which God will
reconstruct them as much better than
they are flow as the body of the rosiest
and healthiest child that bounds over the
lawn at ProNjieck Park is letter than the
sickest patient in Bellevue Hospital. But aa
to our soul, wo will cross right over, not
waiting for obsequies, independent of
obituary, into a state in every way
better, with wider room and velocities
beyond computation; the dullest of us into
companionship with the very l>est spirits in
their very best mood, in the very parlor of
the universe, the four walls burnished and
panelist and pictured and glodifled with all
the splendors that the infinite God in all the
ages has been able to invent. Victory!
This view of course makes it of but little
importance whether wo are cremated or
sepultured. If the latter is dust to dust, the
former is ashes to ashes. If any prefer incin
eration let them have it without caricature.
The world may become so crowded that
cremation may be universally adopted
by law as well as by general con
sent. Many of the mightiest and
best spirits have gone through this process.
Thousands and tens of thousands of God’s
children have been cremated'—P. P. Bliss and
wife, the evangelistic singers, cremated by
accident at Ashtabula Bridge; John Rodgers,
cremated by persecution; Latimer and
Ridley, cremated at Oxford; Pothinus,
and Blandida, a slave, and Alexan
der, a physician, and their comrades
cremated at the order of Marcus Aurelius—at
least a hundred thousand of Christ's disciples
cremated—and there can be no doubt about
the resurrection of their Lobes. If the world
lasts as much longer as it has already been
built, there perhaps may be no room for the
large acreage set apart for the resting-places,
but that tune has not come. Plenty ot room
y**t, and the race n red not pass that bridge
of fire until it comes to it. Th * most of us
prefer the old way. But whether out of
natural disintegration or cremation we shall
get that luminous, buoyant, gladsome, trans
cendent, magnificent, inexplicable structure
cubed the resurrection body, you wall have
it. I will have it. I say to you to-day, as Paul

Near Re rgerac, France, in a Celtic tomb
under a block were found flower seed that
had been buried two thousand years. The
explorer took the flower seed and planted
it, and it came up; it bloomed in bluebell and
heliotrope. Two thousand years ago buritxi,
yet resurrected. A traveler says he found in
a mummy nit in Egypt garden peas that had
baen hurled there three thousand years ago;
He brought them out and on the 4tu of June,
1&44. he planted them, and in thirty days
they sprang up. Buried three thousand
years, yet resurrected. “Why should it be

Where did all this silk come from—the silk

bannered host anil the luxurious articles

from the silk worms. And who shall be
surprised if out of this insignificant earthly
body, this insignificant earthly life, our
bodies unfold into something worthy of the
coining eternities. Put silver into diluted
nitre and it dissolves. Is the silver gone for
ever? No. Put in some pieces of copper and
the silver reappears. If one force dissolves
another force organizes.
“Why should it be thought a tiling incredi
ble with you that God should raise the dead?”
The insects flew and the worms crawled last
autumn feebler and feebler, and then stopped.
They have taken no food, they want none.
They lay dormant and insensible, but soon
the’south wind will blow the resurrection
trumpet, and the air and the earth will
lie full of them. Do you not think
that God can do as much for our bodies as He
does for the wasps and the spiders and the
snails? This morning at 4:3U o’clock there was
a resurrection. Out of the night, the day. In
a few weeks there will lie a resurrection in all
our gardens. Why not some day a resurrec
tion amid all the graves?
Ever and anon there are instances of men
and women entranced.
A trance is death followed by resurrection
after a few days’ total suspension of mental
power aud voluntary action. Rev. William
Tennent, a great evangelist of the last gen
eration, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander,
a man far from being sentimental, wrote in
most eulogistic terms —Rev. William Ten
nent seemed to die. His spirit departed.
People came in day after day and said:
“He is dead, he is dead.” But the soul that
fled returned, and William Tennent lived to
write out the experiences of what he had seen
while his soul was gone. It may lie found
some time that what is called suspended ani
mation or comatose state is brief death, giving
the soul an excursion into the next world
from which it comes back, a furlough of
a lew hours granted from the conflict
of life to which it must return. Do not this
waking up of men from trance, and this wak
ing up of insects from winter lifelessness, and
this waking up of grains buried three thou
sand years ago, make it easier for you
to believe that your body and mine
after the vacation of the grave shall
rouse and rally, though there be three
thousand years bet wean our last breath aud
the sounding of the archangelic reveille#
Physiologists tell us that while the most of
our bodies are built with such wonderful
economy that we can spare nothing, and the
loss of a Anger is a hinderinent, and the
injury of a toe-joint makes us lame,
still that we have two or three use
less physical amiarati, and no anatomist
or physiologist has never lioen able to tell
what they are for. They are no doubt the
foundation of the resurrection body, worth
nothing to us iu this state, to be indispensar
bly valuable in the next state. The Jewish
rabbins ha 1 only a hint of this sng
f;esfcion when they said that in the
iiitnun frame there was a small bone which
was to lie the basis of the resurrection
body. Perhaps that may have been a de
lusion. But this thing is certain, the
Christian scientists of our day have found out
that there are two or three stijxjrfluities of
body that aro something gloriously sugges
tive of another state.
I called at my friend's house one summer
dav. 1 found the yard all pi lei up witli the
rubbish of carpenter and mason’s work. The
door was off. The plumbers had torn up the
floor. The root was being lifted iu
cupola. All the pictures wore gone, and
the {>aper hangers were doing their work.
All the modern improvements were being
introduced into that dwelling. There was
not a room in the house fit to live in at that
time, although a month before when I visited
that house everything was so beautiful I
could not have suggested an improvement.
My friend had with his family to
the Holy Land, expecting to come
back at the end of six months,
when the building was to be done. And
oh, what was his joy when at the end of six
months, he returned and the old house was
enlarged and improved and glorified! That
is your body. It looks well now—all the
rooms filled with health, and we could hardly
make a suggest on. But utter awhile your soul
will go to the Holy I And, and while you are
gone the oltl house of vour tabernacle will
be entirely reconstructed from cellar to attic,
and every nerve, muscle and bone and tissue
and artery must lie haute 1 over, and the old
structure will lie burnished and adorned and
raised and cupolaed and enlarged, and all the
improvements of heaven introduced and you
will move info it on resurrection day. “Fop
we know Mint if our earthly house of
this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a
building of God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.” They are
very fond of each other. Did your body ever
have pain and your soul not pity it? or your
body have a joy and yoiir soul not
re-echo it ? or, changing the ques
tion, did your soul ever have any
trouble and your body not sympathize
with it, growing wan and weak under the
depressing influence? Ur did your soul ever
have a gladness but your body celebrated it
with kindled eye and cheek and elastic step?
Surely God never intended two such good
friends to be very long separated. And so
when the world's last Easter morning shall
come the soul will descend, crying: “Whereis
my body?” and the body will ascend, saying:
“Where is my soul ?” and the Lord of the res
urrection will bring them together t and it will
he a perfect soul in a perfect body, introduced
by a perfect Christ into a perfect heaven.
Victory I Do you wonder that to-day
wo swathe this house with garlands?
Do you wonder wo celebrate it with the
most consecrated voice of song that we can
invite, and with doxologies that beat these
arches with the billows of sound as the sea
smites the basalt at Giant's Causeway? Only
the bad disapprove of the resurrection.
A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr. Moffat,
the missionary, preach about the resurrection,
and he said to tho missionary: “Will my
father rise in the last day?” “Yes,” said the
missionary. “Will ail the deal in battle
rise?” said the cruel chieftain.” “Yes,” said
the missionary. “Then,” said the war
rior, “let me herr no more about the
resurrection day. There can lie no resurrec
tion, there hail be no resurrection. I have
slain thousands in battle. Will they rise?”
Ah, there will bo more to rise on that day
than those want to see whose crimes have
never been repented of. But for all others
who allowed Christ to be their pardon and
their life and their resurrection it will be a
day of victory.

The thunders of the last day will be the

MUTILATED DANK NOTES.
There was received at the United
dtates treasury Thursday for redemption
a package of perfectly new United States
notes of small denomination-! 1,000-
which were mutilated by punches
through them, through which a cord had
been passed and then sealed on the out
side of th wrapper. The package was
scut to Washington by express, by a Na
tional bank in Texas. The mutilation
was evidently intended as an additional
safeguard in transportation. This is said
to be the practice of many of tho south
ern eipress companies in the transporta
tion of money to the treasury for redemp
tion, but the present is the first instance
where new, uninjured notes have been
treated in this way. It is not known
whether these particular notes were mu
tilated by the bank or by the express
company, but it is thought at the depart
ment that it was done by the bank to se
cure exchange on New York at the ex
pense of the government. Acting Treas
urer Whelpley refused to receive the
notes and directed their return to the
bank at its expense, with the statement
that such mutilation is considered a vio
lation of law and will not be permitted
by the department.
A NEW SET OF IIULEB.
The commissioner of agriculture ha*
issued anew set of rules governing the
operations of the department in the sup
pression and exterpation of pleuro-pneu
monia and other infectious diseases. The
chief of the bureau of animal industry
may cause exposed animals to be slaugh
tered whenever it is deemed necessary to
prevent a spread of the disease from one
state or territory to another. Provisions
is made for the appraisal of and payment
for slaughtered animals. Whenever it is
deemed necessary by the chief of the bu
reau to supervise and inspect any lines of
transportation doing business in more
than one state and boats, cars and stock
yards, in connection therewith, he is re
quired to designate suitable inspectors
and make alt necessary regulations for the
quarantine and disinfection of such boats,
cars and stock yards as are suspected of
being affected with the disease. Should
it be found impossible to enforce rules in
any state, the commissioner, if he thinks
the exigency requires it; will declare the
state in quarantine, and any person re
moving animals therefrom, except upon
a certificate of the inspector of the bureau,
will be prosecuted.
A.V INTERESTING DEPORT.
The quarterly report of the chief of the
bureau of statistics is just out, and soows
some interesting figures.
Seventy or more pages of the report
are devoted to tiie “consumption of dis
tilled nnd malt liquors and wines,” and
estimates made by recognized authority
are given upon various features of tiiis
subject. In round numbers the consump
tion of distilled spirits, domestic and
imported in this country, is shown to
have increased from 4:1,000,000 gallons
m 1840 to 72,000,000 in 1886, Of wines
from 4.800,000 gallons to 22,000,000,
and of malt liquors from 23,000.00) to
04", 000,000.
The consumption per capita during
the same period decreased, as regards
distilled spirits, from about two and a
half gallons to about one and a quarter
gallons; and increased, as regards wines
from twenty-nine hundreths to thirty
eight hundreths, and malt Irorn less than
one and half to more than eleven gallons.
Ar: elaborate statement made by P. N.
Barrett, editor of the New York Grocer,
by request of the chief of the bureau, is
given, which sets forth, among other
thing., that the present average expen
diture in the country per annum for malt
and spirituous liquors and beer at retail
is $700,000,000 Tiie drinking popula
tion is estimated at (in 1886) 14,925,417,
making au average expenditure per capita
of $45.90.
WANTS A JUDICIAL DECISION.
In relation to the reported conflict in
Maine between the state and United
States authorities respecting the authority
of a state court to compel the production
of records of the collector ot internal’
levenue for use in the prosecution of
persons accused of selling distilled spir
its in violation of the state law, the com
missioner of internal revenue says that
bis office lias no disposition to iuterpose
any obstacle to the enforcements of stato
laws, but that a provision similar to that
in the recent Maine law, making the pay
ment of an internal revenue tax as a liq
uor dealer prima faeie evidence of a vio
lation of state law, has been incorporated
in the statutes of several of the states;
that the question in i>sue in Maine has
been raised several times in other states,
but never settled, and that it is his desire
to obtain a judicial decision for future
guidance in numerous cases likely to
arise.
PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.
