The Sparta Ishmaelite has been un
der its present management less than
a year, and already the editor is dis
gusted. He finds so many subscribers
in arrears, both on his own and his
predecessors books, that he has sworn
vengeance against the credit system,
and swears that he will keep no books
after the 12th of March. He declares
that after that date even William H.
Vanderbilt could not get ton days
credit for a subscription if he gave
good security.
We acknowledge the receipt of the
eulogy delivered by Hon. Olin Well
born, of Texas,' on the late Hon. B.
H. Hill. How touchingly eloquent
was the tribute therein paid to Geor
gia’s dead statesman, may be gathered
from the closing paragraph: “The end
was at hand. The wanderings of time
were over. Eternity’s glories were
breaking around. The dying Senator
spoke out in full and even triumphant
accent, ‘Almost home!’ The pulse
throbbed its last beat, and the spirit
flew to its God and immortal destiny.”
Tlic Evening Star
Is the name of anew afternoon paper
just started by the Star Publishing Cos.,
which company has been incorporated,
and of which Mr. Erastus Br%inerd, for
merly of the Constitution, is the editor,
with Mr. H. H. Cabaniss, well known in
journalistic circles, as the business
manager. In their card the publishers
say the Star lias sufficient capital to
meet the demands it is likely to make,
and has no favors to ask beyond those
the public always accords to a legiti
mate and honest enterprise. The num
bers before us are very neat typograph
ical specimens, and its pages show a
vigorous idea of the duties of journal
ism.
Richmond, the interesting correspon
dent of the Augusta Chronicle, says:
“It appears to me that the unkind
flings that have been made in some
quarters and by some papers in the
State against the State Agricultural
Society, are undeserved and unjust.
They are certainly in very bad taste.
This society has done much for the ag
riculture of the State in the interchange
of practical information about farming,
in the organization and concerted ac
tion of the planting intelligence and in
mouldering legislation for the benefit
of our great soil interests. It is not
necessary to argue this matter, and it
is to be hoped that the public-spirited
and worthy gentlemen who have made
the society an institution of utility and
progress and an agency of public and
individual good, will not deem the cap
tious carpings here and there as repre
senting the sentiment of the people of
the State.”
Military Feature.
Prof. Neely has inaugurated a fea
ture in the public schools of Americus
which is a good one. Not that it may
be said that you love war more and
peace less, the Lord above forbid.
The military feature is a good one,
Ist, because the boys from 10 to 18
years of age need manly exercise and
many of the amusements to which
they resort are dangerous. This fea
ture diverts them to a channel where
regularity of exercise and discipli
nary movement is substituted for
other irregular and defective sports.
The training received will qualify
them for some duties which a deplo
rable state of facts may make it neces
sary for them to perform in after life.
It is therefore a good feature and will
properly add to the prestige of the
school.

Killing Birds.
As the shooting of birds is raging
among our youth, it will do no harm
to call their attention to the law
passed in 1874 by the Georgia Legis
lature on that subject. Another law
limiting the period of shooting doves,
partriges and turkeys is laid down
elsewhere, and takes effect at the
time these birds begin to mate and
nest; but here is the law first referred
to: Georgia laws, 1874, p. 400, you
will find p. 74 section 1. “Be it enac
ted, etc., That from and after the pas
sage of this act fi ny person who shall
kill, tfap, snare, or otherwise destroy
any whipporwill, sparrow, thrush,
mocking bird, finch, martin, chim
ney swallow, flicker, oriole, red bird,
cedar bird, yannager, cat bird, blue
bird, or other insectivorous bird, or
shall rob or destroy the nest or eggs
of any such bird shall be held and
found guilty of a misdemeanor, and
on conviction thereof shall be pun
ished as prescribed in section 4706 of
the code of Georgia.” j
Mutual Life Insurance.
In January, 1880, the Royal Arca
num established its first lodge in
Americus, and in February thereafter
the Legion of Honor was organized.
The Knights of Honor and the United
Workmen anti date them, but how
long is not a matter of special inquiry.
There is also another called Presby
terians. The name of the last may or
may not he suggestive of its mystic
nature. Of these organizations none
have died in our midst of the United
Workmen, Knights of Honor or Pres
byterians. Of the Royal Arcanum and
Legion of Honor Mr. Martin Burke
was the first member who died. He
was insured for SB,OOO in these two
erganizations and it was promptly paid
to his representative. Mr. Columbus
Hand the second who also had an in
surance policy to the amount of SB,-
000, Dr. George F. Cooper was the
third, and his representative, like
those of the others, received promptly
checks; $3,000 from the Royal Ar
canum and $5,000 from tbe Legion of
Honor. Of* course no adequate com
pensation can be made to a widow and
orphans for tbe loss of husband and
father in dollars and cents. Yet
it is a consolation to them to
know that absolute dependence up
on the love, honesty or charity of kith
or kin is not a result of their great and
irritrevable losses, and that this good
comes to them by the love and provident
caie of him whom they deplore.
Thus up to this time $24,000 has been
dispensed by two of these mutual life
Insurance Companies. Doubtless the
same might be said of tbe others if any
ot their members had died. It is no
unqualified pleasure to record the in
come of capital into our midst in this
way. These results however are bless
ings even if they do wear the badges of
mourning. It is hoped that but few
occasions for a repetition of such pro
visionary receipts will occur in our
midst. Nevertheless we believe that
all who have not passed the proper age
and can meet the probable contingcn
ces should provide this fire escape for
their wives and children. The colored
people have some similar organiza
tions, among them “The Wise Men,”
but whetiier these have come to time
in paying up polices is not known.
AN APPROACHING CONFER
ENCE.
A Session of Interest to Colored
Mctliodist Churches.
The Washington annual conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
colored, will convene at Roberts Chapel
at Alexandria, Va., on the fourteenth
proximo, Bishop Warren, of Atlanta,
Ga., presiding. The meeting of this
conference will attract a wide spread
interest. Besides the deliberations of
the conference, the annual missionary
and the bishop’s sermon, there will be
addresses of visiting ministerial dele
gates, the reports of the New York
book concern, church extension, Freed
man’s and Educational Aid Societies
and the pastoral changes in the diffe
rent churches where pastors have
served their third-year terms.
Among the prominent preachers of
the conference who will be in atten
dance will be Rev. E. W. S. Peck, of
Baltimore, the colored minister repre
sentative at the late ecumenical coun
cil held in London; Rev. R. H. Robin
son, of Charleston, W. Va., the first
and last colored member of the M. E.
Church Extension Board and a rumor
ed candidate for the bishopric, should
the M. E. Church decide to elect a
colored bishop at its next general con
ference; Presiding Elder Brown, Rev.
Mr. Foreman, of Winchester, and Dr.
Buckley, editor of the New York Ad
vocate, and numerous eminent pulpit
orators both white and colored.
The Washington conference is the
pioneer conference of the colored Metho
dists, who are presided over by white
bishops, and it is known as an able
and intelligent body of clergymen.
The membership is over thirty thous
and, with two hundred traveling
preachers. It has jurisdiction over
the District of Columbia, Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia and Get
tysburg, Pa. Bishop Warren will
also preside over the Baltimore confe
rence (white) at Winchester.
Sudden Dentil.
In Macon, at the Brown House Mon
day night, a sudden death occurred.
Mr. Edward Richardson, with his wife,
arrived by the Southwestern train from
Florida in the evening, en route for
New York. They were assigned a
room, and the gentleman and his wife,
the former a hearty, robust and splen
did specimen of manhood, began mak
ing their toilet for supper, lie had not
gone far in this operation when he sud
denly gave a gasp and sank to the floor.
His wife gave the alarm and Dr. Black
shear was summoned to his bedside. Dr.
Blackshear did all in his power to re
suscitate Mr. Richardson, but to no
avail. It was paralysis, and there was
no remedy. He breathed his last at
two o’clock Tuesday morning. With
bis wife he had been spending the win
ter in Thomasville, aud was on his way
home from that place when he received
his sudden summons. Last winter he
went to Thomasville with his only son.

LETTER FROM CHINA.
Editors Emory Mirror: You will
doubtless be glad to hear that the very
important educational work so recently
undertaken by the Southern Methodist
Mission, in China, continues to grow
in interest and importance.
It has far surpassed the most san
guine expectations of its originators,
and the outlook for the future is both
hopeful and encouraging.
The Chinese st'll manifest the same
unabated interest which they had
from the beginning, and new applica
tions continue to come in.
It is painful to us, and a sad and
sore disappointment to them, that they
must be refused, but there is no help
for it now and they must bide their
time and possess tlieir souls in patience.
We are trying our best to meet the de
mands which are made upon us, and it
requires no little planning to establish
such a work upon a broad and sound
basis.
Such a movement was never seen in
China, and notwithstanding the school
is not a year old, the “Chung Si Se
Queen,” is known from north to south,
from east to west in China.
Some poor pupils come from quite a
distance as far as Canton and Ilong
Kong.
It is difficult to say where unto it will
grow. If the plans which have been
so carefully and prayerfully made can
be carried our, we will, in a few years
have a University in Shanghai which
will compare most favorably with other
Universities in western lands, and he
prepared to instruct hundreds of China’s
sons, and thus confer unnumbered and
untold blessings upon this people so
long bound down with cruel and foolish
superstitions.
To me it is always pleasing to see a
Chinaman when he gets anew thought
or idea, and fully comprehends it. His
eyes sparkle, his face wears anew
aspect, and he is all eagerness and at
tention, I take it that everything
which tends to awaken new thoughts
in reference to western science, and that
everything which convinces him of the
superiority of western arts and sciences
over his own, is preparing his heart and
mind for the reception of true religion.
Everything which will dispel doubt
and drive away superstition, to which
the Chinaman is a slave, is so much
help to the Missionary.
Many agencies are at work for the
enlightenment and elevation of this
great people, and while I will not say
that our work is the work, I make bold
to say that it is a most important and
necessary work, a most timely work, a
grand a noble work, and a work which
will tell in days to come. We must
not he too impatient, too anxious, to
see the results of our labors, hut must
work and hope and pray, trusting in
God, and in due time the object will be
obtained.
1 will say further, that this work
should be done by the Church, not by
the world. My own honest convictions
are that if the Church docs not do it,
the world will, and who can enumerate
the long train of evils which may fol
low?
It is sad to contemplate, and I gladly
banish the unpleasant thought from
my mind, believing that the Church
will do her whole duty in this regard.
Every Alumnus of our own much
loved Alma Mater should feel thank
ful that so many of her sons are engag
ed in Mission work.
Two are here now actively engaged,
and two others are expected to arrive at
an early day. One is in Mexico devot
ing his life to the work there.
I rejoice to know that some of the
undergraduates are contemplating mis
sion work; and to you my youug breth
ren, 1 would say seek to prepare your
selves thoroughly for the great work
which is before you; aud if it falls to
your lot to come to China and be fellow
laborers with us we will welcome you
most gladly, assuring you that the
work is worthy of yotir highest and
best efforts.
It is the duty of a few of Emory’s
sons to go to heathen lands. It is the
duty of all of her sons to assist those
who do go, by their sympathy, their
means, and their prayers. Many of her
sons are occupying positions where they
can help ns much, and it is to them
that we look, fully expecting them to
do their duty.
By tbe last United States mgil the
sad news of Rev. K. H. McLain’s death
reached us. We were not surprised for
we heard of his severe illness.
Two years ago he was buoyant
with hope, and on his way to China to
engage in what he thought would be
his.life-work. He and his noble, gif
ted wife were united in heart and in
purpose, and looked forward to a bright
future of useful labor. He was my
room-mate, class-mate, traveling com
panion and bosom friend. 1 knew his
heart, for he talked to me very freely.
During the long voyage from our loved
Georgia to China, and during his short
stay here he suffered some of the bit
terest trials that are to le endured
in life. His noble, manly spirit
bore the severe trials with true Chris
tian resignation and fortitude. He
knew in whom he trusted and believed,
and to God he poured ont his sonl in
agonizing prayer. Every member of
the Mission sympathized with him,
and loved him much. He proved to
us all that there was a power and a
reality in religion, and he could truly
say, “Thy grace is sufficient for me.”
We parted with him with sad and
bleeding hearts, and the very tendrils
of our hearts were entwined about him.
He was a brother beloved. We mourn
his early death. The memory of him
is as ointment poured forth. He made
a very favorable impression upon the
native Christians whom he met, and
many of them have often asked after
him, and wanted to know if he would
over return to China. I have told a
few of them of his death, and they were
very sad indeed. I think he was loved
by all who knew him, and loved best
by those who knew him best. Young,
true, noble and gifted, strictly pious
and thoroughly religious, he has not
lived in vain. While we say with
the poet,
“Death lias been here and home away
A brother from our side;
Just in the morning of liis day,
As young as me he died,”
we mourn not without hope.
Let ns emulate his virtues, and so
live that when we are called away, we
will meet his happy spirit in the Glory
world, bask in the sunshine of the
smiles of God and unite with all the
redeemed ones in ascribing eternal
praises to Him who saved us with His
own precious blood.

An Interesting Document to Which
tJeorge’w Name in Signed.
Ausable Forks, N. Y., February
27.—There hangs in the office ot the
Rogers Iron Company, in this place, a
document in the hand writing of
George Washington, which is an ob
ject of much interest to visitors. It is
made up of memoranda for arrange
ments which were to be observed in
entertaining at Mount Vernon the
Count de Rochambeau, who was ex
pected to visit there. It reads as fol
lows;
ME MORANDCM FOR THE SERVANTS.
They are to cross at Colchester and
lodge at Dumfries.
They will for themselves get enter
tainment at the best public house in
the town, and direct dinner to he ready
for ns at that place by 12 o’clock to
morrow and by no means to exceed it.
They are to draw public forage for
their horses, this being laid in at that
place.
They are to set out at 5 o’clock co
morrow morning for Fredericksburg
and put up at the best tavern, where
we shall lodge—draw public forage
there also—and are to wait there for
our arrival or further orders.
George Washington.
Mount Vernon, 11th Sept., 1781.
N. B.—Public forage is to be drawn
for the horses of the Count de llocham
beau, etc.
This document is the property of H.
D. Graves, and has been in his posses
sion nearly forty-five years. It was
found among the effects of Benjamin
Graves, who was the third sheriff of
Clinton county, and the grand-father
of the owner of the rare autograph pro
duction.
A Beautiful Indian Legend.
The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees,
and doomed to torture, bnt become so
seriously ill that it became necessary to
wait for the restoration to health before
committing him to the fire. And as he
lay postrated by disease in the cabin of
a Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the
latter, a young, dark-faced maid was his
nurse. She fell in love with the yonng
chieftain, and, wishing to save his life,
urged him to escape; but he wonld not
do so unless she would flee with him.
Yet before she had gone far, impelled
by some soft regret at leaving home,
she asked permission of her lover to re
turn for the purpose of bearing away
some memento of it. So retracing her
foot-steps, she broke a sprig from tbe
white rose which climbed, up the poles
of her father’s tent, and preserving it
daring her flight through the wilder
ness, planted it by the door of her new
home in the land of the Seminole.
And from that day this beautiful flow
er has always been known between the
capes of Florida and throughout the
southern states, by the name of Chero
kee rose. —Christian Advocate.

are never imitated or counterfeited.
This Is especially true of a family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy imi
tated is of the highest value. As soon as
it had been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best
and most valuable family medicine on earth
many imitations sprung up and began to
steal the notices in which the press and
people of the country had expressed the
merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to
induce suffering invalids to use their stuff
instead, expecting to make money on the
credit and good name of H. B. Many others
started nostrums put up In similar stylo t j
H. 8., with variously devised names in
which the word “Hop” or “Hops” were
used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All
