I do not know how any man can read the
history of those times without admitting
that toe contest was decided by the upper
forces.
Then in 1861, when our Civil War opened,
many at the North and at the South pro

of the nation in armed indignation. What
could come but extermination?
At the i£:-ing of the war the comman-ler

age Lascocna with many infirmitias, and he
bad a ngLt to qrnende. He could not

battle field in a carriage, asking the
dtrrver not to jolt it too much. During the
most of the four years of the contest, on the
.Southern side was a man in mid-life, who
had in his veins the biood of luanr genera
tions of warn on-., himself one of the heroes
of cud Cesro Gordo, Contreras
and CfccprJt - vec. As the years pasaed on
and the scroll of carnage unrolled, there
came cat from both M<ies> & heroism and &
strength and a det'mmmatioa that tha world
had never seen marshaled. And what but
f-rtenmnation could come when Philip Hheri
'ian and Stonewall Jackson met. and Nathan
iel Lyon and Sidney J hnsou rode in from
north and south, and Grant and Lee. the two
thunderbolts of battle, clashed ? Yet we are
a nation, and yet we ar -at peace. Earthly
courage did not decide the conflict. The up
per forces of the text. They tell us there was
& battle fought above the clouds on Lookout
Mountain: but there was something higher
than that
Again the horses and chariots of God came
to the res • ,<? of this nation in 1870, at the
close of a President 1 election famous for i
devilish ferocity. A darker cloud yet settled j
down open this nation. The result of th<
election was in *iii?pute, and revolution, not
between two or throe sections, but revolution
in evffry town and village and city of the
the United States, seemed imminent The
prospect was tha‘ New York would throttle 1
>'ew York, and New Orleans would grip New ;
Orleans, and Boston, Boston, and Savannah.
Savanna!i. and Washington, Washington.
Some jtaid Mr. Tilde® was elected; other
said Mr Hayes was elected; and how
near we came to universal massacre
some of us guessed, but God only knew.
1 ascrioe our escape not to tiie hon
esty and righteousness of infuriate*]
politicians, but I ascribe it to the upper
forces of the text. < hariots of mercy rolled
in, and though the wheels were not beard and
the flash was not seen, yet all through the
mountains of the north and the south and
the east ami the west, though the hoofs did
not the cavalry of God galloped bv.
I tell you God is the friend of this nation. In
the awful excitement at the massacre of Lin
coln, when there was a prospect that greater
slaughter would open upon this nation, God
hushed the tempest. In the awful excitement
at the time of Garfield’s assassination, God
put His foot on the neck of the cyclone.
To prove that God is on the side of this ua
tion, I argue from the last eight or nine great
optional harvests, and from the national
health of the last quarter of a century—epi
demics very exceptional —and from the great
revivals of religion, and from the spreading
of the Church of God, and from the continent
blooming with asylums and reformatory in
stitutions, and from an Edenization which
promises that this whole land is to be a Para
dise where God shall walk in the cool of the
day.
If in other sermons.l showed you what was
the evil that threatened to upset and demol
ish American institutions, I am encouraged
more tL-.n I can tell you as I see the regi
ments wheeling down the sky, aud my lere
miads turn into doxologies, and tliat which
was the Good Friday of the nation's crucifix
ion becomes the E;* ter mom of its resurrec
tion. Of course God works through human
instrumentality . and this national better
ment is to come among other things through
a scrutinized ballot box. By the law of reg
istrat ion it is almost impossible now to have
illegal voting. There was a time—you
ana I remember it very well—when droves
of vagabonds wandered up and down on
election day aud from poll to poll, and
voted here and voted there, and vote*]
everywhere, and there was no challenge; or,
If there were, it amounted to nothing, be
cause nothing could so suddenly be proved
upon the vagabonds. Now, in every well
organized neighborhood, every voter is
watched with severest scrutiny. I must
tell the registrar my name.* and how
old I am. and how long I have re
sided in the btate, and how long I have re
sided in the ward or township, and if I mis
repr- sent, fiftv witnesses will rise and shut me
out from the ballot box. Is not that a great
advance* Aud then notice the law that pro
hibits a man voting if he has bet on the eleo

be seven feet by three, and that will take in
the largest, and" there will be room and to

on anxiety about the welfare and the happi

and it will be a grand thing if, when the arch
angel’s trumpet sounds, we find that our sep
ulcher, like the one Joseph of Arimathea pro
vided for Christ, is in the midst of a garden.

Hcraa—The Queer Outcome.
T'tie Transraal Adttrtiter, of South
Africa, makes itself responsible fur the
following tough yarn:
.A fell-known resident in the Repub
lic wont out to kant one morning, and
soon *igii*.ed a koodoo boll, which he
.-i to fr_ '. k. He aucec-eded in slightly
- out ting the animal, and then galloped
after it in th-- open. While descending
a stony declivity bis horse stumbled; he
was thrown and his rid- was broken.
On so ng what had happened, the koo-
V< turn'd round and at once attacked
its pursuer, knocking him to the ground
and trying to kn<-- l upon him.
Grasping the animal’s f m-h-gs tight
ly, "1. nutter sueeeed*“l in keeping the
buck in an erect preiti' n. The horns
of the antelope had evidently enteroi
tf hank to some depth, fur the face of
the brute pressed upon the chest of the
unfortunate man, nlieo t causing fuffo
cation. Suddenly, however, the irn
prls'ned hunter found that the buck
was making strenuous efforts to evtrieate
its homs fium the veldt, but without
avail; and he finally came to the con-
elusion that they had i>ee:i driven
firmly into the ground as to resist all
effort's of the animal to ape. He
gradually endeavored to r.’t tlie legs
of tite back, and endeavore 1 to re*, h
his pocket, in the hope of getting at his
kr.de, bat in vain. In this iikanner buck
and man remained throughout the heat
of a broiling day, the koodoo moaning
piteon-ly the while. The shades of
night gave relief for a time, bat, as the
twilight deepened, the laugh of the
hyena and the yelp of the aadvark
showed the hunter that he had other
dangers fo fear.
As night cams on, these creatures,
growing bolder, owing to the silence of
of the group in the veldt, approached
nearer, and the captive man not only
saw the fiery gleam of their eyes, but
finally had his ooot-sleeve grasped by
one of the assailants, while the buck
plunged as another attacked its flank.
The hunter gave vent to a cry to drive
off the fiery carnivora, and by dint of
shouting and waving his arms, assisted
by the kicks of the buck, he managed to
keep off the brutes till daylight forced
them to return to their holes. The
dawn betokened another hot day, and
both man and buck were well-nigh worn
out with the bleepless vigil of the pre
ceding night.
Shorlty after daylight the ping of a
bullet, followed immediately by a wound
over liis forehead, and the sound of the
report of a rifle warned the hunter that
danger was nigh. Crying out frantically
he waved his hands about, ami sudden
ly betliiukinir him of the fact, he drew
from his pocket a white handkerchief
and let it flutter in the morning breeze.
Tills had the desired effect, and the
stranger—an Englishman—appreaching
was soon informed of the plight his fel
low man was in. All efforts to remove
the horns of the buck, however, proved
fruitless; and, not wishing to destroy
so fine an animal, the Englishman, after
giviug the captive man a drop of brandy
from his flask, and placing his saddle
cloth under his head, rode off to the
nearest farm, some six miles distant, for
assistance. On returning with rcims
and spades, the legs of the buck were
secured and a reirn placed round the
neck of the subdued and terrified animal.
After digging for some time the spades
struck against some hard substance of a
metallic nature; and further delving re
vealed the fact that the right horn was
embedded in a mass of metal. More
digging released both horns, each bear
ing a similar appendage, which, after
the hunter had lieen released, were final
ly freed from the horn by the use of
hatchets. The metal, to the astonish
ment of all present, was soon seen to l>e
gold, and a further search led to the un
earthing of smaller nuggets. The nug
gets weighed respectively eight pounds
and six and a half pounds avoirdupois.
The farm, a private one, is being dili
gently worked by several prospectors,
and several small nuggets have already
been unearthed, while pannings and
sluicings in the spruit have provided
considerably more than “ tucker.”
Bible Scenes StLIl Enacted.
In writing from Faynl, one of tho
Azores Islands, a correspondent of tho
Boston Transcript rays: “On the coun
try roads and near the windmills you
tiill see circular threshing floors made
of hardened pumice stone. When cows
and oxen are driven over tho grain,
crossing and recrossing it, these are a
distinct and frequent feature in the
Landscape, and reminds one of Bible
scenes. *Wliat is that strange noise I
hear from afar ?’ I say to my native com
panion. ‘Why, it is an ox cart coming
along the lane with a load of grain/ I
watch and wait, and within half an
hour it passes, with its two or three
\o’;e of oxen dragging this uncouth cart
with its high encircling wicker front and
sides. Its great solid wheels creak and
groan. One is impelled to be merciful
and beseech the owner to oil his wheels.
But no, I must not, and am told that
this is part of the equipage, and no
farmer is satisfied unless his wheels
have the proper amount of squeak. A
law was once made by the Portugnese
government that no creaking cart
should l>e allowed to enter a city, but
the people rebelled and the law was re
pealed.”

Harronrinz
Bo:h in the preparation of the soil for
the crops before planting and in giving
the earlier cultivation afterward! the
harrow can be used with profit to a
more or less extent. For tining the sur
face of the soil it is one of the very best
implement* we hive and, with the large
number of different kinds *o!d under
this name, we can secure an implement
adapted to almost any kind of work and
in almost any kind of soil. The im
provements made upon the o.d A harrow,
are giving us the square, Scotch, vi rat
ing, ffexible. and smooth'ng harrows, to
which may be added quite a list of
spring, disc and cutting or slicing har
rows. In this liDe of implements there
would certainly seem to be a full supply,
so that no matter what kind of soil the
farm is composed of, a harrow can be
used with pri it on nearly or quite every
farm But with the spring, disc and
cutting harrows, they will do much bet
ter work with some soils than with
others. One will be best in one kind of
sod, and the other in a different soil.
Some are better for some kinds ol work,
and some for others.
It is best to have the soil prepareu in a
thoroughly fine condition 1 efore planting
the seed, and to keep the soil iu a good
tilth until the plants have made a suffi
cient growth to be able to commence
using the cultivators. Weeds are much
more easily destroyed wheu young than
after they get a good start to grow, and
if the soil is prepared in good tilth be
fore planting the seed, in a majority of
rases the harrow will be found the
cheapest ana best implement to use in
lertroying the weeds.
The disc, spring or cutting harrows
are good implements to prepare the soil
in a good tilth for seeding oats, grass or
other small grain; or when oats are sown
on corn-stubble or land that has been
planted in the fall. They are good im
plements to cover the seed, sowing the
teed broadcast and then covering them
with the disc or cutting harrow. The
tauie applies to sowing wheat in the fall.
They will fine the surface and prepare in
i good tilth for sow mg the seed with
:he drill or seed-sower. And the work
can be done so much more economically
;hat in many cases these can be made
very profitable implements. —Prairie
Farmer.
Farm and Garden Note*.
Mulch your orchards.
I’eas should not be sown until vaim
neither.
Save and store a full supply of fruit
and vegetables; none are so cheap as
those grown on the farm.
A hen should be set in a dark, quiet
place with access to plenty of water and
:orn, and a good dust bath.
A few drops of carbolic acid in the
Irinking water is said to be good for
fowls affected with the cholera.
Do not be afraid to feed bran, for every
ton of sls bran you feed maseg the
manure into which it goes $0 richer in
p:ant food.
Hens do not need antidotes to make
them lay. Provide comfortable and
sunny quarters and feed and water regu
larly and they will produce plenty of
eggs without coaxing.
When a man is frightened or angry
his digestive organs do no work: this is
also true of an animal—hence the profit
of keeping it in a peaceful and fearless
state by kind treatment.
An ardent pig-fancier contends that
the raising o: pork, if properly con
ducted upon the farm, will lift the
mortgage or raise the bank account
more rapidly than any other fa-m
stock.
A line queen for breeding purposes
should not be allowed to expend her
force by too much egg-laying, but
should be kept in a nucleus and only
be allowed to keep that up moderately
strong.
No system of dairying is complete that
loses any of the fertility at the barn.
Save all, liquid and solid, and do not be
afraid of manure drawn to the fields in
the winter losing value, as compared with
the usual leak from washing manure
piles and stable floors with cracks.

Cunning Ruse to Collect a Debt.
A good story is told of a hotel cashier
who got /stuck” with a worthless check,
but succeeded in securing part of the
amount. He had cashed a check for S7o
for a gentleman who was not a guest of
the house, but was so frequently about
iia corridors that he was supposed to be
good for the amount of the check. Tho
cheek came back with the report that
there were no funds in the bank to
cover it. The cashier tried every expe
dient to get the money out of the man
who drew it, but without avail. One
dry he learned by accident that there
were S6O bo the credit of the fellow in
the bank. He quietly went to the bank
and made a deposit of sls in the name
of the man, presented his check and was
duly paid $75. He was out only £ls,
instead of $75, and counted himself ex
ceedingly lucky. It is the rule of the
hotels to cash no checks except for well
known guests.— Sent York Oraphic.
The Miller’s Daughter.
Fair-minded individuals will barely
bolt the a-s r ion that the well bread
daughter of tbe miller is the flour of the
famdy. However sevtre y, meu may
scalp and scour the world, it is offaliy
certain to warm the cockles in their
hearts and to make them acknowledge
the corn, though it may go
against the grain and give
rye facts to make an oat of the fact, to
see that it is perfectly patent that a mid
dlings mart young miller, with no long
system, low-grade tendencies, would
s em to increase his stock of happiness by
capturing such a girl. It has always bin
so. There should tie system ia his pre
liminary processes, though we dough n’t
believe in elaborate long-system courting,
for it often yields a largi percentage of
very unsatisfactory rc.-u ts.

most poweiful will be the Maine. She
will be 310 feet long, with a displace

9,000. She will have two baturies and
her armor will be 11 inches thick. She
will be a very ugly customer to attack.
A Georoia physician writes to the
Constitution, of Atlanta, that the solution
used in the hand grenades now offered
so extensively for sale is easily and
cheaply made by taking twenty pounds
of common salt, ten pounds of sal am
moniac (muriate of ammonia, to be had
of any druggist), and dissolving in seven
gallons of water. .When it is dis
solved it can be bottled and kept
in each room in the house. In cas
of fire, one or two bottles should ba
thrown with force into the burning place,
hard enough to break them, and the fire
will certainly be extinguished.
That fired Feeling
Is experienced ly almost erery one at this season,
and many people resort to Hood's Sarsaparilla to
drive away the languor ®nd exhaustion. The blood,
laden with impurities which have been accumulat
ing for mouths, moves sluggiahly through the
veins, the mind fails to think quickly, and the body
Is still slower to resjond. Hood's Sarsaparilla is
just what is needed. It purifies, vitalizes and en
riches the blood, makes the head clear, creates an
appetite, overcomes that tired feeling, tones the
nervous system, and imparts new ctrength aud
vigor to the whole body.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is proven to be so vastly superior to any other sara
parilla, or blood purifier, that one has well said
“It# health-giving effect# upon the blood and entire
human organism a- as much more positive than
the remedied of a quarter of a century ago as the
steam powtr of to-day Is in advance of the slow and
laborious drudge:/ of years ago."

A Man of Muscle.
Several years ago aa a-tist of Dresden
persua-ie-i a locksmith there to give up
his trade aad become aa artiste’ modsl.
It was a good thing for the locksmith,
who is now the famous “muscle man of
Dresden,” whose magnificent y develop
ed body makes him probably the most
renowned model in the world. In order
to preserve for future artists an exact
duplicate of i is extraordinary figure the
director cf the Royal Saxon Povzellan
fabrik at Meissen recently invited him
there that a cast from life might be taken
of the upper part of his body. It is said
that “Ins muscular development is so
complete and detained that even the
least and slightest cord of every muscle
stands forth prominently, and his
whole body looks as if it were woven to
gether or plaited like basket work. His
muscles hare such a hardness that they
feel to the touch ss if they were carved
in wood.

for years with painful weakness, nervousness,

THE FRIEND'S ADVICE.
“Don’t give up, my poor, tick friend.
While there § life there's hope, ‘til said;
Bicker persons often mend;
Tune to fire up when you’re dead.”
“These letters stand for ’Golden Medical Discovery’ (Dr. Pierce’s), ths
greatest nutritive, tonic and blood-purifier ot the ape.”
“You have been told that consumption is incurable; that when the lungs are
attacked bv tills malady, which is scrofula affecting the lungs and rotting them
out, the sufferer is past all help, and the end Is a mere question of time. You
have noted with alarm the unmistakable symptoms of the disease: you have tried
all manner of so-called cures in vaim and you are now despondent and preparic*
for the worst. But ‘don't give up the ship’ while Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery remains untried. It is not a cure-all, nor will It perform miracles,
but it is guaranteed to benefit or cure Consumption, if taken In time and
given a fair trial, or money paid for it will be promply refunded.

How a King Looks.
The aristocracy at Kingston, St. Vin
cent Island, West Indies, have a blue
blooded member of the royalty who is
being lionized. This remarkable person
is a king in exile. King Ja Ja, of Opobo,
West Africa, who for many years lorded
it over a small district among the Oil
rivers of the Niger delta. The king
appears at the government hou?e recep
tions and other state occasions, lie
wears an admiral’s coat with immense
bullion epaulettes, over a yellow plush
vest with big. green enamel buttons.
The vest is cut very low, displaying a
large area of immaculate linen. Hia jean
trousers have broad stripes of blue and
red, and black silk hose and a pair of
gorgeous, flower-embroidered sappers
cover his neither extremities. On his
head he wears a broad-brimmed hat of
African manufacture, something like a
sombrero, nnd in the band are stuck at
uniform distances, five long ostrich
feathers. In his ears are gold rings of
unique design, and encircling his neck is
a collar of -harks’ teeth, with a bear’s
tooth tripped with gold by way of a pen
dant. He wears white cotton gloves,
and as many rings as his fingers and
thumbs will accommodate.
She Forgot
A piece dramatized from a novel by
Miss Braddon was damned by oversight.
A scene was introduced in which a child
was kidnapped from its mother, and at
the end, when all were made happy, the
restoration of the child was taken for
granted. It was the fault ot the novel
ist and passed unnoticed for quite a min
ute after the fall of the curiain. Then a
“god” leaned over from the balcony and
solemnly inquired : “What about that
kid?” The piece was swamped in an in
extinguishable burst of laughter.

month I was not
