Death of Dr. Boyd. The sad death of Dr. Montague 1 Bovd in Savannah last week, as was briefly noted in The Ci ri- Z en, occured at his home, 109 Liberty street, surrounded by his w if e and children. The Citizen ex ends its sympathy to the be reaved ones. Of his death the Savannah News says editorially. ‘The death of Dr. Boyd will oc casion keen sorrow in a thousand homes, and sincere regret through- ought the whole city. It is inex pressively sad that so bi llliant a career as his, and one so fruitful of benefits and benefactions to suf fering humanity, should be cut off while yet in the ascendency. It is in consonance with his noble spirit, however, that his life should have been laid down in conse quence of an act of charity. Captain Maples Dead. Captain Maples, of Kaufman, Texas, died last week. Of his death The Kaufman Sun says : “ He had no relatives in Kauf man, his nearest living relative being his sister, Mrs. Martha Cate, of Minneola. She, one of her sons, her two daughters-in-law, a nephew, James C. Rudd, of Tem ple, Texas, and a niece, Mrs. Alice Sugg, of Bosque county, were present at the time of his death. Judge Horace Cate, the Captain’s favorite nephew, did not arrive from Minneola until Sunday morn- ing.” • Captain Maples was one of the richest men in his section, and conspicionsly identified with varied interests there. Uncle Bob Gray Dead. Mr. R. T. Gray, of Graysville, died last Friday at his home, aged eightv-two. “ Uncle Bob,” as he was known and called by all, was an Englishman by birth and a a sa ilor in his earlier days, having touched every civilized port in the world.

Greenville, Ala., Feb. 14.— The ultra sensational was sprung in the circuit court Saturday when Gaffcrd’s attorneys made motion,, for a new trial on the grounds of bias and prejudice of the jury and on new evidence. This latter is the sacrifice of Mrs. Miller to save her brother. By affidavit made soon after she arrived last night she charges Lloyd with wanting the life of Gafford and acknowledges that she would have suffered the killing to proceed without warning, because she liked Lloyd better than her brother John. Between the lines a confession of intimacy is appar ent, but is not open An Incident of Victor Hugo’s Life. At a recent meeting of the Lesche I remarked the enthusiasm with which the members are pur suing the study of Les Miserables. It, put me to thinking of a story which I heard upon the deck of an ocean steamship some months since. The narator was a lady, presumably French. It was rela tive to the author of that wonder ful novel, Les Miserables, or rather it was a description of the celebra tion of his eightieth birthday in Paris some sixteen years ago. Ac cording to her description it was the most extraordinary act of affectionate homage' ever paid to a private citizen during his own life. Almost eveiy organized body in Paris took part in the festival. A procession of over five thousand amateur musicians and singers, together with bands, private citi zens and soldiery was formed upon a public square and marched to the* great author’s home, in front of which standsffiad been erected, decorated with'flovvers, flags and a beautiful portrait of himself, his wife and his grandchildren sus pended from an arch. Victor Hugo had objected to the festival, but as the procession of three hundred thousand persons passed by his borne the venerable and be loved Frenchman, poet and liter ateur stood bareheaded at an open window, his face radiant with joy as he observed the warm sincerity . ith which he was greeted. It was said that of all the incidents of the occasion nothing gave the aged hero so much pleasure as a visit paid him early in the morn- ing by a very little maiden dressed in white, who recited a poem written for the occasion. It was said the other evening by a Lesche girl that no other French author - has written so beautifully of children as Victor Hugo, and it seems, therefore, be coming that children bore their part in that festival. Though Victor Hugo stands at the head of European literature, this cele bration was not given to him solely as a great author. It was to the patriot as well as to the poet that this unparalelled mark of respect was paid. I notice that the French always speak of Victor Hugo as the poet, while Americans think of him mostly as the novelist or dramatist. I know that his poetical works fill many volumes, but I have seen very little of his poetry in our own language, suppose that French poetry pre sents many difficulties to trans lators, yet it is to be regretted that some of our own poets do not translate into English verse more of the poetry of Victor Hugo; meantime we will continue the study of the interesting character of Jean Val Jean, and through that' study we canllearn much of the heart of its creator, for if the Frenchman’s estimate of Victor Hugo be a true one, there never beat a nobler heart than his.

Pulpit Pyrotechnics. “Resolved, That oratory in the pulpit is a potent factor in ad vancing the kingdom of Christ on earth.” In looking over the reports of Georgia’s denominational colleges the writer noticed the above sub ject was one of recent debate by the college societies. Alas, that the day should have come when intellectuality, instead of spirituality, should be recog nized by the church as a “potent factor” in tlie world’s evangeliza tion. Education and culture are greatly to be desired both in and out of the pulpit, but intellectual ity alone will never lead a soul heavenward. If there is in God’s house anything that becomes wearisome to a soul that is “hun gering and thirsting after right eousness,” it is am elaborate dis course, treating of obtruse sub jects, or handling plain and prac tical verities in a metaphysical manner. When Christ preached “the common people heard him gladly.” This cannot be said of some of our modern pulpit orators who, in straining after the appear ance of learned profundity, so “confound the language with long- tailed words in osity and ation,” that the common people shun them. Most of us want some thing level with our comprehen sion. We want a plain piece of gospel bread, well prepared and well baked, but without any sci entific demonstrations of its chem ical elements or profound reason- ing in defense of its nutritive qualities. If we are to master and and digest some sermons ad-j dressed to us, we really break the | Sabbath, for with such a task to perform the idea of resting from our labors is a delusion. It re quires more effort to follow and understand some of our pulpit or ators than it does to master any week day business or profession But as it is conceded there is rest in change, we might without break ing the Sabbath labor to digest the highly seasoned viands offered us under the name of the bread of life. May the Lord hasten the time when the church will recog nize her true power and glory, and again be the “woman clothed with the sun, with the moon be neath her feet.” Kind, loving words and helping hands Will win more souls to heaven, Than all the intellectual feasts By priests and sages given. * H.

So many people make the mistake of taking remedies which at best are only tonics and cannot possi bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma tism, which the best physicians were un able to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to reach my trouble. I gradually grew worse until I -was un able to take my food or handle myself in any way; I was abso lutely helpless. Three bottles of S.S.S. re lieved me so that I was soon able to move my right arm; before long I could walk across the room, and when I had finished one dozen bottles was cured completely and am as well as ever.
