« THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1887. from Chattanooga, Mrs. Simon Marx, from New Orleans, and Mr. Gus Aarons. Miss Ochs is a guest of Miss Clara Lowenburg, and besides being a most charming young lady possesses a voice f such run sweetness and cultivation that she held her audience spell bound, and drew for h such applause as has seldom, if ever, greeted a singer here. The naivete and amiability with which she -re sponded to the vociferous encores won her many admirers m the audicnc-*. Mrs. Simon Marx lent h- r beautiful voice also, and won from her many friends the heartfelt praise which is always accorded her. Where all did so well, comparisons seem nut of place, and all can be assur» d that the mus’.c from each was highly appreciated and enjoyed. Chattanooga enjoyed a sensational matrimo nial ‘‘boom” last week. A young couule who MUSINGS OF MY EVENTIDE. Anarchy, Socialism, and the Labor Movement—An Address Deliver ed Before the Literary Socie ties of the University of Georgia, July 18, 1886, by Walter B. Hill. BY REV. A. A. LIPSCOMB, O. O. NINETEENTH PAPES. I. "The hour of preparation for a better order of — . .... . .. y things is not ti time of factorable appearances; One of the most brilliant and fashionable weddings of the season was celebrated last week at St. Phillips Church, in this city—be ing the marriage of Mr. Llewellyn P. II i I Iyer, of Macon, and Miss Leila Hansell, of Atlanta. Bishop Beckwith, assisted by Rev. Byron Hol ley, officiated. The re alives and irieuds of the bride and groom began to assemble at the church at 7:30 o’clock, and by 8 o'clock the large e fifice was crowded. During the assernblingtheorchestra, con3isiing of two first violins, second violin, vilo, bass eoruet, clarionet, with Professor Samuel Bradley presiding at the organ, plared the following airs: ‘‘Festival overture,” Le- tuer; Meloide i i P. familiarais; cornet, clario net, violin, organ and string accompaniment. At nine o'clock the groomsmen and brides maids entered the church followed by the bride acc impanied bv her father The groom entered from the vestry room, accompanied by Mr. Junius Hillyer, of Rime, who acted as best man. As the bride and groom made their appearance, the orchestra played the corona tion march, from Mayerbeer’s “Le Prophete.” Miss Hansell took her father’s arm at the mail entrance, and walked up the aisle with stately tretd. She was joined at the chancel by Mr. Llewellyn P. Hillyer, the groom. Then Bishop Beckwith, assisted by H :v. By: on H -iley, per formed the very imuressive mtrtiatre cerem my of the Kpiseopal church, the bride being given awav by her father. As the bridal party left thechurdi the orchestra plaved ‘'Faithful and True,” from Lohegriu, by Wagner, which was followed by ‘‘Midsummer Night’s Divan ,’’ by Memielessoiin. A reception was held from 0:I}|) to 11 o’clock, at the residence of ;he bride’s p .rents, No 377 S mth Pryor street. Mrs. Llewellyn P. Hillyer is one of the hand somest women in Atlanta, if not in the South. Tall, stately, with a full, round figure and a perfect complexion, she presented a beautiful sight. She is the daugnter of Mr. Wiiliaut A Hansell, who is connected with the firm of George W. Scot', & Co. She was graduated last June from the Girls’ High scbo >1 in the city with high honors. She is widely known in Atlanta and un versally loved for her sweet disposition. Mr. Hillyer is the son of Rev, Shaler G. dlillyer one of the most prominent Baptist tninisters in Georgia, who was for a long time Professor o’ Theology in Macon University— and who is now the much esteem jd pastor of the Baptist church in Washington, Ga. He •s cashier of Lawton’s Bank in Macon, and is universally esteemed for his eminent business qualifications and sterling integrity as a mat., die is a cousin of Hon. George and Henry fiiUyer of this city. The tr issean worn by the bride is the mot t stylish and un que ever se*n in the city. It is an idfal of artistio loveliness, being of soft white French faille silk, trimmed in a magnifi cent quality of imparted damasse, in cloth of Bold. Flowers ware interwoven through in (silver, while lovely point lilies show conspicu ously bright in clusters of golden leaves. The bodice is a la Princess Louisa, low corsage, V meek, with the front and hack beautifully trim med in passem-nterie of Rhine stones, real ducbes.se lace and beading of sea pearls. The •kin is gracefully pretty, having a Sue, dainty 4»laited panel. On one sioe the drapery fell in waves, graduating on the other, making an effective contrast, while the gol len front was •tudded on each side with a double row of sea {tearis. A most pleasant sensatiot was enjoyed by Kaliegh, N. 0 , society last week—it being the occasion of the celebration of the nuptials of Mr. .Samuel It. Norris (of the firm of Morris & Carter) and Miss Minnie Florine Upchurch, daughter of W. G. Upchurch, (of the firm of Williamsou & Upchurch). Tiie ceremony took pi tee from the First Baptist church at8:20o'clock, Rev J. L. White, Pastor, officiating. Tue church presented a beautiful appearance having been decorated «n adinirab e style with floral tributes, con sisting of pampas grasses, calla lilies, prim- coses and hyacinths in full bloom, besides two panels of choice flowers, with the initials of tbe contra’.ting parties iu the center of each. On the exit of the party the orga list performed the beautiful march Torn Lohengrin. An elegant re seption was held at the resi dence of the bride’s parents, on South Mc Dowell street, which was attended by the con- rtracting parties, their attendants, relatives and a tow intimate friends of he family. There, • sverything io tempt the appetite and please »the.palate, were displayed in profusion. At St. James Episcopal Church, at Texar- Ikaca, at 7:30 p. m. on the Ifith inst. Mr. Harry ‘Garrett, of Kansas Coy, and Miss Estella Fouikes of Texarkana, were married, Iiev. I)r. Teams officiating. The bridal party preceded by ushers was headed by Mr. and Mrs. Ben Whitaker. The floral decorations of the church under the charge and artistic taste of Mrs. l’iicher and Mr. Flippin, were unusually superb, and the bride in tier elegant robe of blue moire faille francais, stood wilhm a bower of smilax from which was suspended a beautiful wedding bell of white roses and lillics while the nuptial knot was tied. Although conducted in '.he presence of the most ini nediate relatives of the bride and gr.orn, the occasion was noi e the less an im portant one in the history of our social circle, owing to the popularity and high social stand ing of the c mtracting parties. The groom for many years was a resident of our city, where he is still held in high esteem by all, and where he formed so many staunch relations, who now rejoice at his fortune. He has plucked from among us a sweet and much loved flower, which will ever beautify the hap piness he has espoused, and will tend to make of his existence a stream of bliss—a paradise here below. The charming bride has been a pet of our society since her early girlhood. To the young people of Laurens, S. C., the coming and go ng of St. Valentine’s day with out the usual merriment was a disappointment. So the Terpsechoreans determined that in the near future due honor should be done to the music of the dance, and, on Monday night, Feb. 21st, the capacious Watt’s Hall was bril liantly illuminated and tastefully set in order for the occasion. The Bearden Bros., of Au gusta, were secured for the ball, and with cor net, clarionet and violins they sent forth in al most unbroken suciessiou wave after wave of the “concord of sweet sounds,” electrifying the.busy dancers aui entrancing the walldow- ers. The prevalence of sickness in the whole country and the inclemency of the weather prevented as large an attendance as was ex pected. Yet many from abroad were there, and the entertainment proved an enjoyable success. youth of eightee i, indulged a tender regard for Miss May George, a young lady of seventeen summers, who reciprocated his atta hment. The parents obj'Ctingto the union, they se cured the services of a mutual friend, who pro cured a license and arranged with Rev. Warn- boldt, of the Baptist church, to perform the Ceremony. The happy couple met by appoint ment and were driven up Geo-jia Avenue to the Baptist church, where services were being held, and the miiiist- r was c died out and per formed the service w th the contracting partie- in the carriage. The haopy couple theu sepa rated, going to their respective homes in order to break it to their parents by degrees. They, when they discover, d the facts as to the mar riage, could scarcely be ieve it; but it is under stood that they have become reconciled, and no v the young couple will go to housekeeping.

How Mr. Westmgfiouse is Trying to Spend Some of His Millions. George Westiiighou.se, the great inventor, of Pittsburg, spends ednsidera ule of his time at the Windsor. He is a mos: remarkable man, in whose name 1,000 patents have been issued. Besides creating some of the greatest inven tions of the age—among them the famous rail way air brake—lie is the first man who made it safe to use natural gas. He is a society lead er, and the friend of a'most al. charitable schemes. Mr. Westinghouse manufactures his own patents, and ha3 establishments lo cated in the two continents, which give em ployment to nearly 4,000 men. He is a native of Schenectady, N. Y., where his father was a manufacturer. His father was well to do, and gave his son an ecuc ition, he being a gradu ate of Cornell College just previous to the war, in which he took part, at first as an engineer in the navy and afterward as a member of a New York regiment. He went to Pittsburg at the close of toe war, where he took Oct his first patent. His first great success, which rap idly made his fortune, was the invention of the air brake. There was such an enormous dem ind for these all over the world that he was obliged in a few years to locate works in London, in Paris aud in Germany. He also invented a ra lroad signal aud switch. Since then he has iuveste 1 largely in the natural gas and in the electri: lights. About two years ago, for one of his great inventions, he was knighted by the King of Belgium. With all h 8 millions, Mr. Westinghouse is very plain and unassuming. His wife is a New York lady. Sue was Miss Margueritta Este le Walker, and they live in a palace just outside Pittsburg called “Solituae,” but the name is certainly a misnomer, for it is famous for the hospitality of its owners. Mrs. Westing- house’s Friday receptions are famous all over the country and are attended by all the lead ing people >f Pittsburg, while her dinners are the finest of any given in western Pennsylva nia. Mrs. Westinghouse is almost as remark able for her intellectual qualities as her hus band. While visiting at tne Windsor, a short time ago, she met an Englishm in and his wife whom she had known slightly in London. She a-ked 'hem to visit her in Pittsburg. They said it was impossible on account of other im portant engagements, and they only had one day to spare. She insisted; they accepted and went to Pittsburg on a special train. On ar riving there they were astonished to find a sumptuous banquet already pr pared for them. Mrs. Westinghouse had telegraphed her orders ahead, even to the engraving of the menu. Another story which illustrates the lady’s character is about the death of a favorite horse. She was greatly attached to the ani mal, and she was almost heart-broken when ha died. She had hi i skin stuffed at great ex pense. and it still stands in the stall, where the lady visits it nearly every day that she is at home. But the most remarkable act of charity and enterprise happened when she visited London a few years ago. She heard that a young Pittsburg gentleman was very ill in a suburb, without succor or proper medical attendance. She did not know him, but that did not prevent her pity from being excited, and ihe decided to have him brought to Lon don, where ho could receive proper attention. To do this she had a railr >ad built connecting h s temporary residence with the nearest rail road, aud, in a spscia 1 car, he was removed with the utmost tenderness. The young man was a member of an old and wealthy Pitts burg family, and was on a tour at the time he was overtaken bv illn»ss. IT RAINED CENTIPEDES. Scared at an Apparently Satanic Manifestation in Mid-Ocean. [Now York Journal.] Philadelphia, Feb. !).—A crowd of panic- stricken sailors rushed into Capt. Hall’s cabin on board the schooner Lucy T. Ilarvev when she was a few days out from Port-au-Prince. “Devils !” “Snakes !” “Centipedes !” were some of the exclamations made by the thorough ly frightened and superstitious tars. , He asked them the cause of their alarm, and leading him out, they pointed to the forward part of : he deck, where over a hundred centi pedes were writhing and crawling over each other. They had fallen from the sky, ap parently. The cook handed out several pails of scald ing water, aud Capt. Hull poured it upon the reptiles, kilting them. The crew, af ter some hours of abject terror, at last ventured to return to work, predicting that something terr.ble would occur before the voyage ended. The Lucy T Harvey was billed for this port, where she arrived to-day very much overdue. Two days after the startling occurrence al ready related the cook tan screaming from the gallery and fell upon the deck naif dead with Every man of the crew turned pale, but the On Monday night, the 14th ult., Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Arnett, Batesville, Ark., gave a handsome entertainment, to celebrate the seventeenth anniversary of their wedding. Quito a number of their friends were present, notwithstanding the unpleasant weather, and all united in pronouncing it one of the most delightful affair* of <he season. The company were entertained with some very pretty instrumental music by Miss Lela, the.charming young daughter of the house, and with singing by other ladies. Various other amusements caused the time to pass rap idly until 11 o’clock, when an elggant supper waa served, which was highly appreciated aud enjoyed. The Ladies’ Social Club, of West Batesville, of which Mrs. Arnett is a member, presented her with a handsome silver cake basket, ap propriately engraved, in honor of the occasion. At a late hour the guests departed, with many kind and sincere wishes for their esti- anable host and hostess. Among the most delightful entertainments thq_City of Natchez has enjoyed for a long time was a concert given in the temple by am ateurs from this city, assisted by Miss Ochs fear. determined to investigate the cause of cook's alarm. They ran to the gallery, but fled from it a moment later. The gaHery was literally a warming with the loathsome, poisonous reptiles. Where they came from was a mystery. Fearful that the reptiles would sting them to death, the crew ran up the rigging and refused to come down. Capt. Hall fought the cantipedes for 'several hours with hot water, but they seemed to in crease in numbers. Two pigs, and a big Newfoundland dog were bitten and died in agony. During the niiht a terrible gale sprang up and the cook and cap tain manned the schooner alone. Although the scooner was nearly wrecked, the heavy seas washed the centipedes overboard and cleansed the vessel from an affliction worse than a plague. The cargo of the schooner consisted mainly of logwood and cedar. Capt. Hall thinks that the centipedes weie hidden in it. He thinks that they fell from the masts after climbing out of the hold and thereby appeared to fall from the the sky. Over 200 centipedes are at present heaped uoon the vessel’s deck as curiosities. A writer of repute is authority for the state ment that the small number of prominent Englishmen who have chosen American wives are “steadily Americanizing European insti tutions.” Isaac Taylor. I must confess my admiration for the intel lectual bravery and moral fibre of the young orator of the societies at the last commence ment of our State Univers ty, when he chose such a topic for discussion as the above title indicates. It was a timely challenge to sober thinking. It met an existing want in the pub lic mind no less than in the pu die heart. And, moreover, it appealed by a sure instinct to the true ideal of a commencement as a fes tival of scholarly thinker u a season of glad ness, whei it was an inspiration to breathe amid the panoramic refulgence of the land scape of material nature; ncr Dss beautiful in the aspects of the cultured thr mg that gath ered in the University chapel to grace the oc casion. ?o far as practicable, the speech was popularized to the mixed audience of that midsummer day; and, considering the topic with itslo.ical belongings, one of its adtnira ble features was its popularization upward. Lever downward. Not a thought, not a word breathed the ad captandum “virus” of plat form oratory, bu T , ftom first to last, the effort was a considerate argument and a high moral appeal to the judgement and sentiment of the hearers. It d d honor to the speaker and to his Alma Mater. It did not pro'ess to aim at exhaustive treatment but was rather “a pre limiuary survey” to map out the topography of the land. Viewed in tais light it was a speech of modest suggestions not of close-linked conclu sions; it was tentative, not final to his opinions slill less to his convictions, except as to his su preme belief in the agency of Christianity as the greatest of the great fa :tors in the rela tions of capital to labor and of labor to capi tal Here, as he ought to have been, he was explicit and that too with a firmness of ac centuation, beautiful in any one, especially beautiful in a young man. His own words are: “I have sent out upon the waters the doves of exploring thought, but I confess, that they have come back without bringing sati: factory tokens of solid ground.” And he a lus, “while, however, dogmatism would be o it of place in regatd to a topic so new and so recently opened to investigation, I seem to fiud some footing for this equity in two admitted facts First the absolute dependence of capi '.al and labor upon each other * * * and the other fact, the solioarity of capital and lar bor”. The whole passage (page 41) is vivid and quite picture? que, a fine illustration of the harmonious interblending of the abstract and imaginative in his intellect. And he exhibits this solidarity ter teli and strongly when he says in quotation marks : “AU the forces of production are equally alive to mutual welfare". And this solidarity is the natural sequence to the words: “As well might the foot say to the head, ‘/ have no need of thee'," in enforcing his idea of the absolute essentiality of the one to the other, viz : Capital to Labor, and Labor to Capital. So then the expliri lg doves ha ?e not quite failed in their mission from the Ark of Hope. IL “ To-day, this question has taken on a form, that may well blanche the cheek of the most fear less, for it is filled with threatenings of the great est peril and demands instant solution". Wm. Godwin Moodv. The three distinct forms which Mr. Hill pro posed for discussion, were : Anarchy, Social ism, and the Labor Movement. The first two, viz: Anarch j that hates organized labor as much as it hates organized capital; S icialism which teaches that the State should employ all the labor and the citizens become its em ployees; these are summarily dismissed as “fantastic sihemes”. Don Quixote ha* not risen from the dead, for Don Quixote has never died, but it cannot be said, the orator urges “that Socialism has vindicated for itself a place in the minds of men”. As for the An archists, he condenses their creed in Proud hon’s maxim, “Property is theft”. Against this rugged background, Mr. Hill clears a broad space for the Labor Movement, the typi cal representatives of which are the Knights of Labor. The extremes of wealth aud want are graphically portrayed, and evidently, the young orator has cu bed his pictorial intent in turning from the vista, opening instantly before him in the poems of Mrs. Browning and Hood. Years before these pathetic songs were heard, it should be remembered, however, that a great capitalist, a master manufacturer, (the elder Sir Robert Peel) was the first to intro duce a bill in Parliament to interfere with the natural effects of Adam Smith’s Inquiry as set forth in the “Wealth of Natocs.” F’ree labor had to be regulated; factory children protected bylaw against the cupidity an 1 ignorance of parents, as well as against the capitalists, in the tremendous struggle that bad ensued in competitive industry; so that in 1815 Sir Robert Peel came again before Parliament to interpose law in be is If of the children of the free poor and to shield them against exhaust ing and demoralizing labor, and r o prevent the great mechanical inventions of Watt, Har greaves, Arkwright and Crompton, which were the pride and power of the age, from becoming a curse rather than a blessing to England. So, then, it is clear that tin? evils of unrestricted competition were seen in part long ago. Rich and poor shared the contagion of the new im pulse; and the rush into the new El Doiados oi industry and commerce was helped on, rel atively to their positions, alike by wage-work ers and organized capital. The great debate on restrictive measures was then fairly opened. Corbett denounced the opponents of the meas ure as “Mammon against Mercy.” But the opposition, says the Duke of a rgj le, was not due, in the main, either to selfishness or indif ference, but to false intellectual conceptions— ti false views, both of principle and of fait. Look ng at these things, 1 do not see how we can avoid the conclusion that many of the evils, which have, grown up under the competi tive system, got their foothold by an excessive reliance on natuial instincts. Natural instincts are by no means infallible, and we may easily flatter them into absurd follies and harmful wrongs. The real trustworthiness of our in stincts, as guides in statesmanship and politi cal economy, is depende it on their enlighten ment and development by the wisdom of ac quired prudence through the means of Provi dential law; and yet more by the direct teach ings of Christianity. Nor does Mr. Hill put the case one whit too strongly when he speaks of the star ling contradiction between Chris tianity aud the accepted political economy. “The economic man is a monstrosity.” The man whom Christianity commends to our love and sympathy is not a creature, but a living and spiritual being; not a mere producing ma chine, but a redeemed child of Christ, and our brother. Assuredly, the satire of the speaker is well pointed when he contrasts the idea of the economists, mean, narrow and degrading, with the ideal of man as given in the New Tes tament. Idea versus ideal 1 One may be di *- posed to resent the pungent extract Mr. H. gives from a high authority in political econ omy in the words, “Love of country, love of honor, love of learning, love of art, pity, hon or, shame, religion, charity will never, so far as political economy cares to take account, with stand in the slightest degree, or for the shortest time, the effort of economic man to amass wealth.” And he quotes this as a pendent to Ricarodo’s famous law (the iron law) namely: “Wages constantly tend to the minimum, at which, the laboring class can live and perpetu ate the race.” Can it be necessary for the evil spirit as described by St. Paul to transform himself into an angel of light to ingratiate him self under this guise and with these doctrines into the heirt of the nineteenth century? Nay; the Mephistopheles of Faust, the plausible ex pert in all social deviltries, would be fully ade quate to any demand, which the extreme cases of the economic man might make on the devil of modern civilization as portrayed in Goethe’s elaborate poem. Ah, we know only too well how the almighty dollar is almighty over Natu ral Instincts'. HI. "The fact that a man is a wage-ivorker instead of a wage-payer is a mere incident of his state, not an essential of his character.” Bishop Harbis. But when we put ourselves in the position of Adam Smith and his revolt against the exist ing system of political economy, I think, we must admit, that looking alone at economical agencies, the principle of laissez faire as ad vanced by him had much to endorse and com mend it to state i an.hip i r the eighteenth cen tury. Followed out to its logical consequences as a single dominant abstraction drawn from the constancy of natural laws, and, at thesame time, moral and int llectual principles ignored till circumstance disclosed them under the pra :tical workings of the Inquiry, allowance must be made aud tha. largely for the enor mous stress laid on the econom c man. Partly, without doubt, it was an inevitab e sequel to the emergeuce of a new Euro, e out of the old Europe of feudalism. Prestige, wealth, pow er, traveled down from lordly Barons to prince ly merchants aud manufacturers, thence on to rail road magnates, with their outreaches o; colossa means aud resources. And who, greater than they in bringing natural agencies to their feet, made it poss ble for them to go forth t trough portals, for the first time, thrown wide open, to the c inquest of the materia w irid made ea.-iiy possible? Watt, Arkwright and their contemporary inventois, far more than Adam Smith, led the way to a new epoch of events and prepared the conditions for a widely differeut s ate of industrial society. Tardv the change was; tardy it had to be; and no wonder, for moral and social principles are reached by much slower steps than the knowl edge and application of physical laws. Justi ;e is the last att-aiuaient of the advancing races and the legislation of progtess usually toes on by undoing what had been previously done. History is never a repetition of itself, whatever the old maxim may assert; and generally our forward steps are awav farther aud larther from the milestones which mark “the times of this ignorance.” So then to guard laissez faire from its own inadequacy and incouipetency, to say nothing of its selfishness, it must be s tpplemented by sentiments, efflorescing out of principles, derived from the rev-lation of God in Christ. Taus it is, and thus only can it be, that the natural laws governing the phys ical world aie compensated and completed by the spiritual forces. The Loriz ms belt us all in, each in his narrow land scape, but the zenith ciowns the whoie ii is majestic altitude. Aud Mr. H. specializes this grand truth whenever an op portunity occurs. “Justice," “equity,” “soli darity,” are oft-recurring wtrds in his argu ments and app a s, and never other than cen tres, round which, his most eloquent sentences nucleate. At times, he is terse. But he is ar listic enough to avoid too many short senten ces. Thus, in urging nis topic on the atlen tion of young men, after remarking that among all the pr , ulema of civilization, here is a do main entirely new and untouched, he adds: “It is virgin foiest. Here are fresh woods aud pastures new.” And he expands: “If this equity shall win recognitior, it will introduce a new element in ethics; if it shall be accepted by the business world, it will introduce a new element into industrial organizations; if i shall ever chrystalize into a right, it will make a new department in jurisprudence. Whether any of these things will occur, I know not. but,—” and theu he quotes eloquent words from Mr. Hewitt, “Beyond all dreams of the Golden Age, &c., when men shall have learn ed how “to make equittble distribution among themselves of the fruits of their common la bor.” Such enthusiasm is very beautiful and young souls never grow to any height without these dreams o: better times. “ The thoughts of which can never from mg heart.” First, the dreamer; next, the ihinker; then, the reformer; —this is the order authenticated by nature as the medium of Providence. IV. “And blind Orion hungry for the morn." —Keats. Orion, son of Neptune, is called by Homer, “a hunter of shadows, himself a shade,” and having lost an eye, was told to seek the rising sun and so recover his sight. No doubt, in the midst ef the intensity of thought and interest awakened by the labor movement, we have our blind Orions, who are “hungry for the m irn.” Nevertheless, we have men whose eyesight is clear and far reaching, and who have fonnd the sud, even the sun of Right- eousnes, and we may hope and believe, that God will educate taeir eyes to further and brighter seeing. Such men are Gen. Francis Walker, Attorney-General McVeigh, Dr. Washington Gladden, Dr. Deems, the Right Rev. S. S. Harris, Bishop of Michigan, and the Right Rev. H. C. Potter. Bishop Harris says: “The corporation is an artificial person that is allowed to wield the power, which a thousand or a hundred thou sand men have gained, and to do this for an unlimited time, subject to no risk or chance of death or ueSfepithue.' it “is easy to see what an enormous advantage is given to capital as such by such an arrangement as this. * I am well aware that the question of limiting or abrogating corporations would be beset by peculiar and manifold difficulties.” But while saying, that perhaps no opinion could be less acceptable than tips to the popular mind, he yet ventures “to suggest that corporations are a distincly socialistic device * * that they are the occasion of combinations and conspi racies on the part of working men, the danger of which, capitalists are not slow to recog nize; that taey often separate and alienate the rich and the poor, &o.” Bishop Potter argued in a letter to the clergy of his dio cese. “The growth of wealth among us has issued not in binding men together, but iu driving them apart. The rich are farther from the poor, the employer from his workman, capital from labor, now than ever before.” Nor are we surprised that this noble thinker and great-hearted man should declare: When capitalists and employers of labor have forever dismissed the fallacy, which may be true enough in the domain of political econ omy but is essentially false in the domain of religion, that labor and the laborer are alike a commodity, to be bougut and sold, employed or dismissed, paid or uader-paid as the market shall decree; when the interest of workman and master shall have been owied as one by both, and the share of the laboring man shall be something more than a mere wage; when the principle of a joint interest in what is pro duced, oi all the brains and hands that go to produce it, is wisely and generously recog nized; * * * then, but not till then, may we hope to heal those grave so rial divisions, coucerning which there need to be among us all, as wiL Israel of old, ‘great searching of heart.’ ” V. er, and his creed centres in the one Devine man who has the heart as he has the power to say: "Peace, be still /” Government, accord ing to his speech, is received as an indirect torce rather than a direct one. And, if he acknowledges any eirthly master, I suppose he would ciose D\ mond as he appears in the memorable Third Chapter of the Essays on ‘‘Inequality of Property," Page 144 Sixth Edi tion 1847. “ vVe join not with those who de claim against all inequality of property; the real evil is not that it is unequal, but that it is greatly unequal; not that one man is richer than another, but that one man is so rich as to be luxurious or imperious, or profligate; and that another is so poor as to be abject and depraved, as well as to be destitute of the proper comforts of life." Here, this most cogent writer is dwelling on the Moral Limits ot Accumulation, aud, iu quoiing from Lord Bacon, Wilberfore, Wollentoncroft, Johnson aud Clarksoi, he is only expanding the poet’s lines into prose: “ Wealth heaped i n wealth, nor truth nor safety tl 111.3, Toe danger a gather as tha treasuries rise.” Avoiding any advocacy of government as a direct agency oi ad justment in this lontention, Mr. Hill may favor the "indirect aid of legisla tion," ani whilt le-acting trim the “Laisstz Faire” theory, may accept a modified form of the State Help doctrine, under the provision of “General Welfare." I am quite sure that the ingrained conservatism of his nature en forced by libera; culture, will over maintain his fine equipoise as apparent in this speech. An educated geutleman, a student-reader and a studeni-observer, a lawyer and a Te tcher of Law to young students, 1 am not indu'ging in feelings merely personal towards Mr. Hill whtn I express the hope no less than the belief, that it will be his pride and joy to do honor to a profession, which, though “not the plate for the artist oi poet is yet the calling of thinkers,” and. furthermore, that a man “may live greatly in the law as well as elsewhere, and, there as well as else where, his thought may find its unity in an infini e perspective.” NwdnJI [ONLY IN! ‘Those joys are lodged beyond the reach of fate." The sceptic may not accept in this connex ion the poet’s idea anl tha good Bishop’s strong and most sensible view of the “situa tion,” but the view is sure of recognition though it may have to wait on the further dis closures of the years. And, at this point, let me say, that the tread of Mr. Hill is precisely in the direction of the two Bishops quoted above aud along that line of thought. Centu ries before Christ, when the People of God, with uncovered breasts, were waving their black drapery towards the Temple and crying aloud. “Spare Thy people, 0 Lord!" the old prophet Joe), standing in the light of a transi tion age, prophesied oi the time when “the young men shall see visions and the old men dream dreams ” And that time, so improba ble to the senses, did come. Yea, it is ever on the wing of approach as the ages execute the benign purposes of Providence. And I hold it to be an auspicious sign of a grander epoch when our young thiukers, fu J of heaithy blood and strong nerves, are calmly reading the signs of these tumultuous days. We have gone too far in civilization not to go farther; and especially on this Western Hemisphere, if iudeed, “ Time’s noblest offspring is the last,” it becomes us to be vigilant lest our gigantic ma terial development prove not too much for our statesmanship and virtue. To weaken and then destroy our ethical and social brother hood, are inevitable steps to the overthrow of a just and cementing Democracy. And, assu redly, we of the South, which I believe is the least sectional of any portion of the Union, ought to be proud to see our young men grap pling modestlv but bravely with such ques tions as are involved in the Labor Movement. All of us should accept Joel’s classification: "Young men to see visions," for the future is their world and naturally “lends enchantment to the view," while the province oi the “old men” is to “dream dreams.” The two offices of Youth and Age have fach a providential part to perform and a destiny to fulfill; and as of old, “The evening and the morning were the first day." VI. "Government ought to make it easy to do right and hard to do wrong. Mr. Gladstone. Reviewing the progress and conclusion of Mr. Hill’s speech, I do not see that he under takes more than to define the different forms of the lab ir agitation and to show that Chris tian principles of brotherhood, applicable to both parties (capitalists and wage-workers) must be recognized in an adjucation of this most complex matter. Obviously, he is not an extremist of the Laissez Faire school. Quite as obviously, he is no socialist or commanist. He does not look to Government to calm the ‘ storm and stress,” for he is a Christian tbink- Frightful Weather. Scores of People Frozen to Death in the Northwest. Fort Keogh, Mont., February 13.—This had been the most severe winter here for years. From January 0 to 11 the cold wave was some thing frightful. Mercury theimometers were often congealed, and spirit thermometers were busy jumping from 40 to 00 degrees below zero. Half a dozen tiuus has the sixty notch been touched, and once this season 03 degrees below zero has been scored on the Saskatcke- wan plains. The snowfall is unprecedented. In some lo calities it is any where from ten to fifteen feet deep on the level; throughout the National park and elsewhere it is from eight to twelve feet deep, and on the dead-level prairie from eighteen to forty inches. Such a heavy fall has brought more or less suffering and death. Near Matt Coleman’s ranch, January 28, the flakes were larger than milk cans. Some flakes measured 15 inches long and 8 inches thick. For miles the ground was covered with such bunches, and it was a remarkable sight while failing. A mail carrier was caught in the same storm and verifies it. The Northern Pacific double-header snow ploughs are still bucking drifts east of here all the way from six to forty feet deep. Already this winter a number of deaths from cold have occurred in Dakota. Charles Scbroe- der, living near Valley City, started from his house for one 600 feet distant. A blizzard was blowing and the thermometer registered 35 be low. Not reaching home, his family and neighbors turned out with lanterns, followed his tracks in the snow all night and found where he had lain down in a straw stack and then gone on. The body was found twelve miles away on the prairie, lying on 'ts face, where he had fallen from exhaustion. The body was frozen into a chunk of ice. Maggie Bunn, a school teacher at Highmore, while going fi om the school to her house, was frozen to death. Despatches from various parts concur in de tailing stories of deaths from exposure. Over twenty persons of all classes ani conditions— ranchmen, stage drivers, civil engineers and Indians—have perished in the intense cold and storms. A band of British Creek Indians came across the line and camped in the mountains between the forks of Sun river. An unnsual snow followed, and the wretched creatures became penned in by an icy wall. From seventy the number was reduced to fifty-one by starva tion, when white men hunted them up and brought relief. A band of half-breeds is reported covered up on Lonesome prairie, and a number of Nez Perces Indians. A remnant of Chief Joseph’s famous band, who fought Generals Miles and Howard so stubbornly, have been snowed in on Colville reservation. Four feet of snow prevented hunting game, and maLy died of cold and hunger. During the latter part of January fifty lodges of Crow Indians, eamped on Clark’s fork, came near dying. Many did perish, but the majority managed to sustain life by eating the cattle that died m the snow drift It is almost impossible to say what damage has occurred with stock and cattle. As a rule horses and mules have done well, but cattle and sheep have been more than decimated. MOST PERFECT MADE Prepared with strict regard to Purity, Strength, and Healthf ulness.

SUFFERING IN MONTANA. The Severest Weather known For Many Years-lmpending Trouble From Avalanches. A dispatch dated at Livingston, Montana, February 12th says: There is a serious ap prehension that there will be an appalling loss of human lives in Montana. Snow began fall ing in the middle of November, and there is now more on the ground than at any time in the last ten years. Most of the stage roads are entirely closed up aud trains are running at irregular intervals, some being four and five days apart. The supply of fuel is almost j exhausted. Three days ago coal was selling i at §00 a ton at Fort Benton, and now it can | haruly be purchased at less price. The snow ; is drifted to enormous depths and people liv- j ing at mountain bases are in imminent danger j of meeting a horrible fate beneath an avalan che or freezing to death. Should another pro- I tracted storm occur, it is believed hundreds j would succomb to its terrors. As it is, more people have been frozen to death this winter than for a quarter of a century. The snow will be a long time disappearing even with chinock winds, as a solid sh et of ice an inch thick formed over it late in January and since that time nearly two feet have fallen. The cold has been intense, varying from 49 degrees below zero at Livingston and Helena to 00 de grees below at Fort Shaw and Fort Assini- boine. In the vicinity of the Lit le Jennie and Grand Central mines on Bald Mountain the snow is eight feet deep on the level, and travel is impossible except on snowshoes.

Some method of restric tion that will restrict, is necessary and must be adopted either by the aid of the liquor in terests or without it. If the number of sa loons is not reduced by some method and those that are licensed compelled to submit to proper legal restraint, there is serious trouble ahead for the liquor business of this country.” It is reportei from Nevada that a farmer in that State has bored a well that “sucks in air, and makes a loud whistling noise.” The report does not say whether the farmer was pleased at having bored a well of this sort, merely intimating that he was considerably surprised. If he had been an ancient Chinese, he would have been pleased, for that people, it is said, believed that life was prolonged by swallowing the breath,” or accumulating air in the system; and if they had caught the earth swa lowing i's breath, th< y undoubtedly would have considered it a good omen.
