AUGUSTA, OA.:
Sunday Morning. November 7, 1875.
The Burden-Bearer.
O the blessed promise, given on the hills of
Galilee
To the weary, heavy laden, still is made to
you and me.
Many a heart has thrilled to hear it,
Many a tear been wiped away.
Many a load of sin been lifted.
Many a midnight turned to day.
Many a broken, contrite spirit, lonely, sor
rowing, sad,
Felt the mighty consolation—heard the
heavenly tidings glad.
And the dying gazed with rapture.
Trusting in the Saviour’s name;
On tho land of rest and refuge,
When the Burden-Bearer came.
Lazarus lies unfed and fainting. Peter sinks
beneath the wave,
Loving Mary lingers sadly, near the Sav
iour’s guarded grave.
Blind Bartimeus, by the wayside,
Begs his bread disconsolate;
For the moving of the waters,
At the pool the suffering wait.
In the wilderness the lepers wandered out
cast in their pain;
Paul and Silas in the prison, bear the fetter
and the chain;
Mary Magdalen is weeping,
Friendless in her sin and shame—
But their burdens all were lifted
When the Burden-Bearer came.
Every phase of human sorrow fills the path
we tread to-day;
Harps are hanging on the willows, souls
are fainting by the way.
But there still is balm in Gilead,
And though here on earth we weep,
God within the many mansions,
Giveth His beloved sleep.
On the cloud His rainbow glitters, shines
the star of faith above;
God will not forsake or leave us— let us
trust his truth and love.
And beyond the shining river,
We shall bless his holy name.
That to bear our sins and sorrows,
Christ, the Burden-Bearer, came.
CURRENT TOPICS.
The Cause of the Defeat.
New York, November 3.—A special dis
patch from Philadelphia says the chairman
of the Democratic State Committee of
Pennsylvania gives as the cause of the de
feat of tho party, that the men in New
York city, who professed to be Democrats,
interfered in the election in Ohio, and
helped to destroy their brethren of their
own political creed, and spread disaster
among them. Had these men been true to
the cause of Democracy, we could have
carried the State by one hundred thousand
majority.
Such is a brief, significant and compre
hensive dispatch sent from New York to
the Western press. We do not know when
we have seen so Jmuch truth expressed in
so few words. New York Democracy is
nothing if not intensely selfish and venal to
the core. It must rule or ruin. It belongs
body and soul to the bondholders and the
gamblers of Wall street. It defeated Allen
and broke tho prestige of Democratic suc
eesses which had been sweeping the coun
try for the last eighteen months. Its
mouthpiece, the New York World, has not
one drop of pure Democratic blood in its
body. It deserted the party in the Sey
mour campaign, and will desert it again in
any other supreme moment when the inter
ests of the party require its every friend to
stand by its colors.
The great party at large can put no faith
in the advice of the party, or rather the ag
gregate political mountebanks of New
York. They will assuredly lead it to the
devil, and nothing could make it more cer
tain that the Radicals will triumph next
year than the knowledge that the Democ
racy followed the lead of Tilden, .Marble
<fc Cos. They will not do to trust. They de
mand everything for themselves and their
section.
Last week the Central Pacific Railroad
Company borrowed $10,000,000 in San Fran
cisco, on a mortgage of its bonds, for the
purpose of constructing a railroad to Port
land, Oregon. The stamps on the mort
gage represented $8,740.
TERRIFIC BALLOON ASCENSION.
A Daring Aeronaut Up in a Blaze of
Fire—lie Falls from a Distance of
Half a Mile in Smoke and Flame—
His Limbs Shattered to Splinters.
[Bowling Green (Ky.) Pantograph.l
To make their fair, successful, invit
ing and attractive as possible, the Di
rectors and Managers of the McLean
County Fair last week advertised a
grand balloon ascension. The services
of Prof. S. D. Atcheson, a daring aero
naut of Cincinnati, and Mr. G. C. Grady
as manager, with a large and hand
some ballaon, equal to the dimensions
of all ordinary cottage houses, were
procured. Thursday was the day, and
four o’clock in the afternoon the
hour, for the grand sensation. The
bold and dauntless aeronaut step
ped gracefully forward and grasp
ed the trapeze. He was cool, calm,
collected, and full of nerve, as
though enjoyiug tho commonest every
day pastime. His appearance was
quite attractive. He Is comparatively
young in years, and has the muscular,
wiry elasticity of the triumphant ath
lete, and a form and mould that would
have done credit to tho antique wrest
lers when the Olympic games were in
their palmiest splendors, and when a
laurel wreath won there was next in
honor to a victorious battle won on the
field. As he grasped the trapeze, by
order of Mr. Grady the stays were cut,
and up, up shot, straight as an arrow,
the air-ship, swift and graceful In fea
thery lightness. As he ascended, the
guy-ropes were dropped, and on he
sped amid tumultuous and deafening
shouts of the people, to whom he wav
ed his baud from a distance beyond
where the clouds and the thunders
make their home. Higher and higher
went the balloon amid the unrestrained
enthusiasm of the people.
When she had reached an altitude of
nearly half a mile, dense smoke was
seen issuing from the balloon, curling
bluley towards thejbluer skies, when
horror of horrors, the balloon was dis
covered to be on fire, as some thought
it was before it ascended; tongues of
red flame would pierce through and
dart from her sides. Sbe was soon en
veloped in flame and smoke, and in
stantly collapsed. The scene now beg
gared description. Down, with the ve
locity of the eaglet stretched upon the
plain, down came themronaut in a ball
of fire and smoke! The sight was
sickening and painful. The shouts of
enthusiasm were changed into wild
wails of despair. Every cheek was
blanched with terror. Women shrieked
anif screamed and fainted away; child
ren uttered piercing cries, and ran to
and fro; old men, in groans and stifled
sobs, turned away their gaze only to
look again and And the terrible reality
all too real; horses champed their
bits, snapped their reins, and ran
riderless and unpursued in all direc
tions; men on horses galloped witb the
speed of Mamelukes to the spot where
the unfortunate man seemed falling.
Downward, still downward, with ar
rowy swiftness came the intrepid aero
naut, a sea of fire hissing and roaiing
above his head, and clouds of smoke
enveloping him. Nearer and nearer he
approaches, his face to the fire, his feet
to the earth. On he comes, till his feet
strike plumb against a projecting green
limb of a tree larger than a man’s leg,
whicjj was stripped from the body as
though it had been a blade of fodder
upon a corn stalk, so great was the
force of the concussion. A second more
and his feet struck the ground with
such force as to make quite an excava
tion. He instantly fell senseless, and
was thought by all to have been killed
outright. He was rescued and borne
away from under the burning bal
loon, which was destroyed. Restora
tives aud proper medicinal appliances
were resorted to, and soon the perilous
voyager through air and lire was
brought to consciousness. His left
thigh, between the knee and hip-joint,
was shattered to splinters ; his other
leg was bruised and hurt; his right
hand was badly lacerated, and a bleed
ing and painful abrasion appeared on
the left temple. Besides these, his
breast was mashed in, and it was
thought he had sustained fatal internal
Injuries. He manifested the utmost
coolness and fortitude, and was taken
to the Lucas Hotel of that town, where
he was kindly cared for. He was still
alive when he left Calhoun on Friday,
though little hopes were entertained of
his recovery.
P. S.—J ust before going to press we
received a special dispatch from Cal
houn stating that Prof. Atchison will
likely survive.

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it Indulged, that ic often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or Geueral De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will oost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
MUS r be those afflicted with Consump
tion, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872.
Dr. Tutt :—ln gratitude for the benefit
received bv the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wit li great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am now per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have,lung
or throat disease. Very resDect fully,

'\T' r E were wont to admire the boys who
YY wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival

Gentlemen. I have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, ior more than two vears oaH at the Cotton Mill of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
centfin labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations mththisarrangement is its secur ty against Superinten(lent
