Eniioit Sunny South: I am surprised at Bill Arp, and my faith is shaken in truly rural felicity. Cau it be possible that the man whose stories of farm life, so quaintly told, have thrilled hundreds of tired city workers with hopes of rdst and happiness ainai tie'ds and forests, has deliberately gone o town? Surely the demon of unrest has not invaded the syl van retreat of the philosopher. Can it be true that the “town boom, 1 ' s > oft°n spoken of, has tempted him greiter than he could bear? I have gotten m> tired of the wofiy and hurry ami unrest of city life, that I had concluded to go away out into the country where f could hear the hum of the bumble bet. and listen to the 1 wring of cows, bleating of sheep, squeal ing of pigs, cackling of hens and many other bucolic sounds. Can it be that I am misin formed as to the c mditiou of rural affairs? 1 so loved to read Bill Arp’s letters, a.id 1 thought that he had surely found earthly ha|>- piness, but if his life was not proof against the due I hoj Euitou Si nsy South : Commencement week in Greenville is an occasion to which all of our people look forward with pleasure. The first event incident to commencement week came off on Monday, the loth, and the old as well as the young seemed to run wild. It was the ealistheuie drill of the Greenville Female Col.ege. What a rush for the opera house! Every body and his wife striving to get there first to secure a seai. The floor of the room bad been raised to a level and cleared to give the fairies a chance to display their beauty and ski.l. The gallries, dress circle and stage were sarditied with anxious specta tors, and scores had to retire sadly disappoint ed as there was not the faintest shadow of a chance, for hundreds in the building only got a fluting view of the fair ones as they glided by, keeping step like veterans and every move ment in perfect harmony. When they came in from uu er the stage in four columns (ten in each, making forty) in trimmings and ca| s of blue, scarlet, white and pink. Miss Katie Junes was at the pitno and Miss Judson had the command, directing their movements by the tap of the bell Everybody wascaptivau d and perfectly delighted with the lovely display. At the conclusion the entire class received an invitation to go in a body to Sloan Brothers and partake of ice soda wa»er. This displ ty never fails to draw an immense crowd, for L :s a perfect gem. At night the crowd? were gathering front all parts to seek the new and immense hall < f Bishop Henry Colman Potter. Bishop Potter’s appeal for contributions with which to erect a great Episcopal Cathedral in New York city, which will b© to this country what Westminster Abbey U to England, is making very favorable impressions upon re ligious sects iu general. It is also thought that outside of sectarian circles the project will be felt in a moral way generally, beside specifically contributing much toward one artistic and msthetic point of view to strangers visiting our country. Bishop Potter believes the project to be feasible and sure of accom plishment. Subscriptions are already on hand and the committee’# plans have betn formed with typhoid fever and for weeks in succession his life was respaired of, but he slowly recov ered and was able to take part in the memora ble “Thanksgiving Serbia” in St. Paul's Cathe dral, Feb., 27, 1872 lie was electea Grand Master of the Freemasons ii England in suc cession to the Marquis of Bipon, in 1874. and on April 28, 1876, was admitted to the office at a Lodge held in the Albert Hall, South Ken sington On May 5th. 1875 he was installed at the Freemason’s Hall as First Principle of the Boyal Arch of Freemasons. In 1875-7G his Royal Highness visited India. The great in terest he evinc d in the Paris Exhibition in 1878, contributed in no slight degree to render it a success. IPs Royal Highness attended the Court festivities held at Berlin in March. 188-1, to celebrate the “silver wedd'ng” of the Crown Prince of Germany with the Princess Royal of England. On this occasion he was nominated by the Emperor as a Field Marshal in the Ger man Army. ( >f the personalities of t ie Prince of Wales much data and comment has been published through the entire career of his life, and it is only as the son of Queen Victoria that he stands in a most favorable light. ive wiles of village corner lots, how can to be C'Hiteiu? I am worried. 1 feel like some cherished landmaik had been re- inovfd; like some s'atvly old pine had been taken from the hillside, sawed into lumber and hauled to town. 1 npy admire the wavy lines and symmetrical proportions of the weather- boarding on the village store, but ’twill be hard to recognize in it the lofty pine that has swung to every c umtry bre**z«* for a half cen tury. When o t »d friend nas renamed in town one year, h iving his milk, b it er, chick ens, eggs and vegetables; \vh- n he has endured the gristle and strings ot lough beef-steak, and honestly paid twelve monthly bi Is for 'he same; when he has walktd down town, around the court hou*e square, and walked home again, three hundred and sixty-L/e times; I’ll be: a Texas pony against his reputation as a philngopher, that he will harness up tin old li sa-bitten griy with the. b a/.‘ faced sorrel, and, piling his tru :k into tin* wagon, will call to Mrs. Arp and the young Arp’s, “Come, let’s go home!' 1 I feel personally aggrieved in this matter. For 'ears mv mind has inclined to a rural home. I can remember away back yon der when I liv d on a farm, and used to feed the pigs and drive up the civs; yes later on I followed the plow, and even now in my dreams I can feel tin* c**ol m iiow earth re freshing my soles and tickling mv to -s. List year I went bick totheo'd home, where twenty years ago I was a ha »py b »y, until am bitioits dreams took hold of me, acid 1 looked away out into the great world, all ros sun-tipped clouds, and these dreams lured me away. I wandered all over the old farm, sought every shady nook, looked up into the great trees where I learned to shoot sq lirrels. linger ed lovingly ah mt the old shimming hole at the creek, jumped across ravines as in my boy hood, tried to shout and sing—hut ah, my voice was a very ghost of a voice ami staithsl me. I went into the old orchard and lo iked with misty eyes upon apple trees, hoary with rnoses, that I had seen my father plant whiie my brother an i 1 skipped around and shied clod* of plowed dirt at each other; then my heart beat quick, and tears filled my eyes as I re- how that elder brother left me on the old farm and went off to help tight the army of Sher man; how he wrote home cheerful letters and 1 iving messages, and how one day hi the sum mer of 18G4 came a message from a comrade that mv brother was dead on tne field ot bat tle. Darkness comes over mv soul yet when I think of that sad day, and how I took the old shot guu that lie had taught me to shoot with, vowing to take his place in the ranks; how the dear old father plead that I was all he had left and that I could do no good for the end was approaching. The old farm in a distant State is dear to me yet, and its memories will cling to ine whiie life lasts. Nobody can tell the details of tba r old farm-life as Bill Arp pictures them, ami now that he deserts his field and garden for the artificial pleasures of town, I feel like the last landmark of the “O d South” is cone. 1 can’t bear to think of him in town. He wont stay there long; in fact, he will pine away and die like some liberty-loving animal in captivity. Tell him to go back and die on the old range. Tom Swvykic.

Jackson is the capital of Mississippi, and conta ; ns the State Capito’, the State Lunatic Asylum, the State coloied and white Institute for De?f and Dumb, and the State Institute for the Blind. It is situated on Pearl River at an eleva’ion of about .‘X'O feet above the level of the sea. It has three railroads and a branch road namely: the Illinois (’entral, from Chicago to New Orleans; the Vicksburg and Meridian, from Vicksburg to Meridian, which road is a part of the Queen and (’rescent route; the Natchez, Jackson and Columbus, from Natchez to Jacks >n. and whhh will soon he extended to Columbus; and lasUy, the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley—a branch of the Illi nois Central, which runs through Yazoo City to Gree iwood, t»8 miles from here, and which is being pushed to a point on the Mississippi opposite Helena, Ark. Jackson has an ice factory, two fertilizer works three foundries and agricultural works, feed and grain mills, two brick factories, small furniture factory, anl sash, door and blind factory, the Jackson rump Works, and a Moise W-inch compress with a capacity of so bales per minute. Between MO,000 and 40.000 bales of cotton are compressed here annually. Jackson has a large trade wbh the farmers for twenty miles around, and is building up a fine wholesale business. It also has a large lum ber and live-stock trade. The pop llatiou is about 7,0»HL Yours respectfully, Jackson, Miss June 0, '87.

Our citizens never heard a liner address on any occasion. Rev Dr. Derrieux, of Spartanburg, dis missed the highly delighted audience, ai.d thus ended the first day’s enjoy nients of commence ment week. The weather has been delightful the past two days, winch made »he exercises very en joyable A great many visitors are in the city, ami the entire population are enjoying the rcenes as they transpire.

At night a hr lliant affair came off—a grand reception tendered the graduating clashes of Furman University ami the Greenville Female (’ollege Tne reception was indeed grand. The Female College was illuminated, and the I large lawn in front was brilliant with Chinese | lanterns. 'There were no cold formalities, but . it was a free ami easy, go-as-you-please affair. The display of paintings a .d drawings seemed • to be the great attraction, for it was really | Npemiid. Refreshments were furnished in abundance, and the young couples had a real good time roaming around. On Wednesday, at 11 a m., the large hall of Ferguson \ Miller was filled to hear an able address before the Alumni Association of Fur man University, by Col. James II Rice, one of the graduates, and S:ate Superintendent ot E fucation. His subject was the Common School System, and it gave general satisfaction A banquet of the Alutnn ot Furman Univer sity was given at the Mansion House in the af ternoon, at which one hundred ami twenty-five were presen'; toasts, speeches, ami a good time generally. At night the Opera House was jammed to witness the ninth annual celebration of the Judson Literary Society of the Greenville Fe male College; and everybody was charmed, particularly with part of a plav by live young Indies in good French. This was a gala day tor the Mountain City. On Thursday morning the Commencement Exercises of Furman Cniveisity took place at Ferguson & Miller's capacious Hall, which was completely filled. The male chorus of the Baptist Church opened the exercises wi h a fine selection. Braver bv Rev H. W. Battle, of North Carolina. President Manly announced those distinguished in the various studies. The orations were then delivered by five graduates, and Degrees conferred by Dr. Manly. The University is on rising ground, and its friends fee) proud of the prospects before it. This was the great day, also, for the Female (’ollege. The morning was devoted to issuing Certificates, etc., and at night the whole city was centering to the Opera House to witness the closing exercises of commencement, and graduating scenes of the Female College, when ixteen young lady graduates were made hap- >y. The programme was a complete one. The music and singing were excellent, and the annual address by Rev. II W. B it tie, subject: “The Etymology of the word Tuition,” was very fine. This was the last scene of Com mencement, and many of the students have gone to their distant homes till the middle of September. The Female ('ollege is to be en larged, as there are two hundred and thirty- five enrolled, and about sixty of whom are boarders from the various counties. All is quiet here. The weather is very warm, the thermometer for several days reaching ninety. Rain is needed very badly. The crops are promising. U.N Greenville, S (V, June 20th, 188 BISH to have the q-iestion presented in every availa ble way for t.be advancement of the project. 'The site and the architect mil plans have as yet not been decided upon and will n dL be for some time to come. Bishop Potter the projector of the plan is a native of New York city, having been born in the year of 181)7. He was edu cated and graduated from a theological semi nary in Virginia iu 1857 .and was oidained a priest the f >11 nving year. He was consecrated Ass : stant Bish ip of the Episcopal Church in 1884 and was reoli>r of Grace Church, New York, for many years. His views on the labor questions of the day have been read, from an epistle written by him. in every church in the Episcopal Diocese. Among other views he expresses the f blowing in substance: The growth of wealth among us has issued, not in binding men together, but in driving them apart. The rich are further from the poor, the employer from his workmen, capital from libor, now than ever before. Too many know less and less how the poor live; the wage of the laborer may be, doubtless it is, in mos: cases, larger than it was thirty years ago; but his wants have grown more rapidly th in his wages and his opportunities for gratifying them are not more numerous, but less. He knows more about decent living, but his home is not often n ore decent, and daily grows more costly. His mental horizm has been widened, but Ii.. fold ‘or it is no more accessi ble .Instincts ami a-p'ra’ions have been awak ened in him which are certainly as honora ble in him as in those more famrablo situated, but wealth does little, < it o r to direct or to satisfy them. The manners of the poor, it is said, are more insolent and ungracious than ERASTUS WIMAN. Minna H. Polioek. Miss Minna R. Pollock is th* first lady ever appointed Comm York city. She is the d; L. Pollock, of Hamburg, Elliot Haswell Pollock. < Miss Pollock was bor of Deeds in N lighter of Mr. Julius Germany, and Mrs. f Ghisimw, Scotland at Manchester, Eng land, and was soon taken by her parents to Hamburg, and three years thereafter to New York city. She received her education at Glas gow and in England, completing it in Vienna, Austria. She is a lady of wide travel and ex perience, having traveled extensively in Scot land, England, Germany. Austria, Hungary, and the West Indies For a Uu"* sue resided in Havana, and at another in N issau, in the Bahama Islands. She was at the head of a large law type-writing es ablmliment in the city of New York, at the time of her appoint ment. She reads, writes, speaks and trans lates from ana into French, German and Spanish. The resolution to appoint, her was offered by Alderman Patrick Divver, vice- president of the B >ard,. at the r. quest of ex- Recorder James M Smith, a friend of her family, she having occasion to a commission- ersbip in connection with her business. The Comm ttee on Salaries and tulles reported against appointing her, Haimii that women cannot legally hold offhe, bin the Woman Suffrage party, h d by Mr Ha-nilton Wilcox, came to the rescue with vigor. Alderman D.vver laid before the Bo,ud a statement of the law by Mr. Wilcox, "and May J 1st, 1887, after a debate, the commute. withdrew their opposition, and t he appoint mem was made by twenty-one votes against one. The Woman Suffrage party’s Slate commitK r at once sent marriage with the Prince of Wales, be comes heiress apparent to the throne of England and future queen at the death of Queen Victoria. Princess Alexandra of Wales was reared and educa ea for the high position which she holds ami the still higher one to which she will in all probability succeed. After her marriage with the Prince of Wales, whuh event occurred in the year 18(5:), she was visited by her royal pa rents at Marlborough House, London, in March, 18(57, when hospitalities and festivities of the most lavish kind were occasioned and extended by Queen Victoria to the royal guess of her daughter-in-law. It is said if a diplo matic history of political incidents of Europe were to be written, it would be seen how much the part of peace-winner the Princess of Wales has played. Not that the herself directly in terferes, but through her influence, for with true tender-heartedness the Princess of Wales is not desirous pf seeing any more war for England if amicable settlements can be effect ed by diplomatic arbitrations without involving any humiliation to her adopted country. Her sister-in-law, the Crown Princess of Germany, has termed her the “Goddess of Peace,” and a strong bond of friendship unites these two wo men, who are both so closely allied to the throne, the one of England and the other of Germany. The Princess of Wales is also sister to the reigning Princess Dagmar, who married the Czarewitji of Russia in the year 18(5(5. Princess Alexandra of Wales ;s beloved and esteemed by all who come in contact with her, and is sincerely revered by the lower classes as an ideal of womanly perfection. Allred E. Moore. The New York World's balloon, which as cended the aerial region early in June, was managed by Mr. Alfred E. Moore. The bal loon was expected to make a* long North-East ern voy age, and was to contain but four pas sengers, viz —a navigator to manage the aerial ship; a photographer, ready with the finest in strument to caich lhe views of the wonderful panorama; a scientific man. detailed fro n the, signal service office in Washington, provided with all the instruments necessary for the ac curate observation of ti e phenomena of the upper atmosphere; and hut, a well trained writer, who would present in word-pictire what he caught with the eye and ear far up in the untravelel area of tfie upper skies. Alfred E Moore, the aeronaut of the under taking, is a young man possessing the most, thorough enthusiasm on the subject. He is (he owner of a bolt factory, to the management of which lie was called away from Yale College by the death of his father. He is married, and has made many trips alone in a little 7,*VM) cu bic foot balloon, and with his fellow-SDthus ast, 1 toughty (the photographer of the present trip), in a lo.ooo cubic fool balloon. Mr. Moore takes no special stock in ranch of the romantic talk about aTonautics, but is al ways ready tor a run skyward. Speaking of his balloon experience, he said : “I got into it by accident, and do not regret it. To go in a balloon is to enjoy an experience which is en tirely indescribable. A man who goes up with fear and trembling is apt to find our, that it is more enjoyable than otherwise. Whereas a man who goes up with a flippant idea that it is nothing, is apt to get a ver} powerful impress ion made upon him before l e gets down. !t is lull of surprises, and very agiei able one? gen erally. 'The fact which most impresses one is the dead stillness. The flap of the valve-plate, which here sounds like the snap of a penc 1 on the table, there goes off like a cannon shot. The tick of a watch goes off like the, stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer. It is awful; that is the best word for the experience. It makes one-feel very little indeed to see the earth sev- era’ miles away.” Every precaution was taken to make the as cent a succe-s, but the balloon collapsed about sixiy miles from Ml. Louis.

Why- should poverty cringe to wealth, which is as often as otherwise an accidental distinction, and quite a« often a condition unadorn ed by any special moral or intellectual excellence. In conclusion to these sen timents Bishop Potter adds: “There is a wide unrest, concerning things as they arc there is an honest longing to better these and may God give the wisdom to those in power to do so.” Bishop Potter as man and priest has ever had the w* ifare and concern of the great masses at hear 1 ; and his theories, if car ried out, would be of much benefit to both rich and poor.

Editor Sunny South: If you will allow the space I will give; you a short description of Ty ler, the leading city of Eastern Texas. Tyler has some 8 000 inhabitants—a thrifty, go-ahead people, wide awake merchants with plenty of money to do all the business of this section. We have three railroads, viz : Inter national Great Northern, St. Louis, Arkan sas Sc.

PRINCESS OF WALES a strofcg letter to Vice-President Divver and the Board thanking them “for taking the manly and honorable stand that a woman is entitled to earn her bread in any honest way.” Miss Pollock was sworn into »ffice on the (>th of June, 1887, by Deputy Coin ty Clerk Thomas F. Gilroy, no opposition being nade by any one to her official assumption of the functions of her position. Erastus Wnnan. The rumor has been verified that Erastus Wiman has become tired of upholding the Met ropolitan Club, and his desire for shuffline his load on to other shoulders has become a fact. There are also rumors of a d'*al affecting some of the players of the Club. The Metropolitan Club, which won the American Association pennant in 1884 with an average of 700 fin ished nex , to the last in b >ih the years of 1885 and 18S(>. As individual players the Club is composed of excellent ma'.eria!, but their team work is of the most inferior kind and at pres ent they stand as lew in lie score of games won as they did at the preceding season. Erastus Wiuiau, who was the president of the Club. is a millionaire and one of the shrewdest of business men, beside being one of the most enthusiastic sport-lovers. When the Pennsyl vania railroad was doing its utmost to keep the Baltimore and Ohio out of New York, it was Wiman who suggested the feasibility of the latter road building terminal facilities on Staten Island. The rival road had expected that the Baltimore a id < »hio would seek to en ter New York over the Reading railroad and Jersey Central track, taking advantage of the excellent terminal facilities of the latter road in Jersey City. Such would have been the MINNA R. POLLOCK. ceived. In 1858 he was gazetted to a colonelcy of the 10th Hussars and has the titles of Duke of Cornwall, (by which he took his seat in the House of Lords, Feb , 18(55),) in the Peerage of England; Duke of Rotnesay, 15iron of Ren frew, Lord of the Isles in Scotland and Earl of Dublin, and Carrick in Ireland; he enjoys the patronage of twenty-nine livings, chiefly as owner of the Duchy of Cornwall. Ilis Royal Highness married.

The Prince of Wales became President, of St. Bartholomew’s Hos pital in April, 1807. Towards the close of the year of 1871, his Royal Highness was attacked “The Grange Dinner.” The Thirteenth Anniversary of Kyiche Grange No. 150, was held May lDih, 1887, at the Iiail grounds. The morning dawned cloudy and foggy, but as the day advanced the sun shone out and dispersed the clouds and fog, so that by 10 o’clock a large crowd had gathered on the grounds, and half an hour later a majority of the Grange had “put in an appearance.” Under supervision of the com mittee the table, which was about sixty feet long, was prepared before speaking began. The table being prepared, the crowd was called to the house by the singing of “Summer Land,” by the choir. Dr. I>. IL Caldwell, who was appointed to introduce the speakers, introduced Dr. J. W. Robertson, so well known here, who deliverei an excellent ad dress on the general purposes of the Grange, ■«h?ch wns duly a ;pr*eia , *d by al! the pat reus of husbandry present. The doctor is a line speaker. At the close of his address. “Seeking” was sung and then Mr Crockett K. Jones, editor ot the Winsliehl (La ) Southern Sentinel, was introduced, who spoke at some length on Edu cation, which was directed to the young men. His address was highly entertaining to all pres ent. Crockett is a young man yet in his teens, and bids fair to become one of the best editors iu the country. The Sentinel under bis man agement has been made a lively home paper, of which the people of Winn should be proud and give it their liberal support. At the conclusion of his speech, “Kingdom Coming” was rendered, ami then an inter mis sion was given, and those assembled were re quested to gather at the west end of the house, where, under the supervision of I)r. J. W. Robertson, a line was formed—each gentleman having bv his side one of the fairest of A dim’s race—and we were marched to tiie table, led by Mr. (). M. Grisham bearing the Grange Banner, on whieh was emblazoned in large letters. “ Kvn iie Grange No. 150— Equity and Justice.” A her arriving at the tat) e the banner was placed at one end of the table. The head of the tatile was “graced” by Rev. J. T. Wallace, the former editor of the Si ufiuel, and it was not long before everybody was bu-y refreshing the inner man. A more bountiful and varied supply of nice things for the palate was never before displayed All seemed to enjoy it very much, especially the young men who took time so whisper a few words of “consolation” to their fair compan ions. And as for your correspondent, he can say that he nr ver had such an exquisite time in his life. While be was eating the good things he couldn’t avoid gDncing across the table at the girls, for they were many and fair to look upon. And now, Mr. Editor, if you ever was a young man and loved chicken and the girls, you can imagine how I enjoyed being present on that occasion It was good to be there. After dinner the crowd re-assembled, and “Hear Him Calling” was sung. Mr. W. M. D Gaar was then introduced, who made a lengthy aud an excelleut talk on “music and morality,” which, to say the least, was highly entertaining, instructive and elevating. Billy is a young man of < xcellent talents, and is an honor to our little community. On the cou- cludou of his address, “Bringing in the Golden Sheaves” was sung by the choir The audi ence was then dismissed—the Winnfleld dele gal ion returning thanks for the hospitable en tertainment, and all retiring very much grati fied .

The light began in earnest and in the New York Legislature it waxed hot and was continued iu Congress. After the most determined opposition Wiman snd the Balti more and Ohio won—being allowed to build a bridge over the Arthur Hills—thus connecting New Jersey and New York. By this deal Mr. Wiman made most of his accumulated wealth. He live < on Staten Island at a p^ace called Erastima, and his seat is one of the most beau tiful on the Old Dutch Island. Mr. Wiman is a greit sportsman and is tntbusiastica'ly de voted to our national game. Princess of Wales. Among the children which were born to the King of Denmark, Christian IX and the Queen Louise (w^o was a daughter of the Landgrave William, of Hesse Cassel), is the now Princess Alexandra of Wales, who, by virtue of her William L Marcy. William L. Marcy, Secretary of State under Franklin Pierce, was a true type of the old- school Democrat. “I have come, Mr. Marcy, to take my leave of this administration,” said a well-known journalist as he presented him- s-lf at the last “reception” of Mr Marcy. The compliment was worthy of Tallvrand, and was as well merited as it was handsomely paid, for the Secretary of State had been emphatic ally the “wheel horse” of the Pierce dynasty. Those who boldly deck their political friends with all Roman virtue*;, and as conscientiously bedaub their opponents with every political iniquity, might condemn him; yet those “post ed up” knew that while these erratic and fiery spirits had plunged and curvetted aloug, the premier had held back like a true conservative. When they and their vacillating master had fait-red, Mr. Marcy had gone straight forward, and it was no secret that he would have op posed (had it not been too late) the Kansas- Nebraska bill, that fatal error of that adminis tration. When the history of the manner in which the President was enlisted into the sup port of ihit bill is made public, Mr. Maxcy will appear guiltless; indeed he never transacted business on Sunday afternoons. But on week days he labored with unwearying assiduity, showing the incorrectness of the vulgar notion that those who possess the more brilliant order of abilities are unfitted for attention t» the dry details of < flice. No Secretary of State, not even Daniel Webster, paid such scrupulous at tention to the verbal construction of his des patches, and his arguments were arranged in Circumcision. Editor*Sunny South: In yoa reply to “S. I’. S., Augusta,” in your is*.ue of June-Ph, you say that the riie of circumcision was not dis tinctly a Jewish rite;—you also say that you do not know whether the id* a was orig nal with Abraham or not, and wind up your reply that “we take it, tnat it was among some a sort of heathenish rite—of remote antiquity.” Now, with your permission I think 1 can belter answer the question. In tlie 7th chapter of Genesis, it is recorded that God established a covenant with Abra ham. The 10th verse of this chapter says: “This is my covenant, which ye shall keep be tween me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall ho circum cised.” In the 11th verse he says the circum cision shall be a token of the covenant be twixt me and you. In the 12th verse lie tells Abraham at what age they shall be circumcis ed. In the 14th verse he says that those not circumcised shall bo cut off from the people, as they Lave broken his covenant. This was 1D87 years before the biitli of Christ. His father and mother being Jews, when the Sav- j ior was eight days old, carried him to the tern- | pie for the performing of this rite, see. 2nd ! chapter 21st verse St.. Luke. This rite admit- j ted the child to membership in God’s church, i Ii answered nearly the same purpose with i baptism in the Christian church, except in the | extent of spiritual blessings annexed to it. Nine-tenths of the Christian churches cele brate the circumcision of Christ at this day, to commemorate his obedience in fulfilling all righteousness, which is one branch of the mer itorious cause of our redemption; and by that means abrogating the severe injunc ions of what is termed the Mosacial establishment, and putting us under the grace of the Gospel. I hope I have been plain enough in showing that, instead of this being a heathenish rite, and practiced by the nations around the Hebrews, and that they borrowed ii from these nations, that it was instituted by God himself, and was as justly entitled to be observed as any other of his laws. Ciias. T. Arnett. Batisviile, Ark. Love Affair. I a young man woo and win a young lady’s love, both ot same standing in society, and he like a gentleman asks the consent of parents to a union, and they' give consent providing th* y wait one year—then at the expiration of that time they are not willing for that union— “would it be dishonorable to elope?” We would say to “I) I. IL” be patient with the old folks. If the girl is under age it would be wrong to elope, for a girl in love is just in a half crazy state—and many young men as to that. Love is a peculiar pission, and ex- | ercises a wonderful influence over the mind. ! Love is an intense desire to possess that which j we love or whom we love. If the young lady , is of age and there is really no solid ground of i objection to you upon the point of morals, good i habits and the ability to support a wife, and j the objection of the parents is simply a desire i to keep their daughter with them—ami many parents so feel—we would say appoint your I time and plae«f for marriage and take the girl ! to yourself. The parents will then feel no ; pang of regret, as the thi ,g is done, and like j sensible folks will say : “Young folks will be I young folks, so let them be happy.” But if j y our morals are the point of objection, then see to it that you face about and act a better life. But w’e will presume y cu are all right on that line, as every man should be. Old folks have reason and judgment in love affairs, while young folks only consult passion, hope and de sire. One shines with a steady, clear light— the other bright, intense and uncertain. Cockleburr. J. R. F., Bowie, Texas : To decide an argu ment, will you—through your valuable paper— please give us the correct name for the plant usually called “cuekleburr,” ai.d state whether the plant known as “cockle” refers in any sense to the “cockleburr”? Cockleburr is right, and cuekleburr a cor ruption in pronunciation, just as some people say “nigger” for negro, and “thar” for there, and “set” for sit, etc. We need more pure English taught and spoken in our schools and less of Latin and Greek. Corrupt pronuncia tion is simply fearful among all classes. There is not one n an or woman out of a thousand who ever pronounced the name Thomas cor rectly. All say “Tomas” instead of Thou his, | which means thowjht. Jt is not a Hebrew, but j a Greek word. Situation Wanted. L. M., Good water, Ala.: (’an you inform | me through the columns of your valuable paper j where I can serve as an apprentice in any of I the departments of a publishing-house or news- * paper office?

And does it necessarily have to be killed iu a grave yard? Try the right fore-foot, or the left hind one. Better kill him in a grave yard if you can, and 00 a grave at that. Do not kill him when out of rauge of your gun; but if you could manage to put a little red pepper on his tail and not kill him, so much thp better for your luck.
