A Fair Witness.
l!cv. James Clement Ambrose, has
been taking observations in the South,
ami giving his impressions of this
section through the columns of the
Northwestern Christian Advocate.
Here is one extract from his writings:
“Another point tve need to think of
before loenting nil ruffianism south of
the Ohio is this: It has been our
habit to hold the whole south respon
sible and abusablc for each outrage
committed there, while here wc don t
reproach even a township thats the
scene of barbarity with being itself
barbarous. For instance, Rev. Mr.
and Mrs. Joiner, plain, pious and
pcnceable people of years, were as
Faulted and wounded with firearms in
their parsonage in North Carolina,
and straightway the religious and
republican press of the north bulle
lined it as illustrating the ruffian
habits, not of Randolph county or the
state, but of the south ; yet March
14th, on the train hearing them from
that state to Cincinnati, I noted in
the New York Tribune a dispatch
relating the trial at Whitehall, Wis.,
of thirty persons for having taken a
man by night from his home and
hanged him to a tree by the front
door, his wife and children watching
the crime from the window, then serv
ing coffee to the crowd. So there
was committed a more infamous
crime, with marks of lower civiliza
tion, in Wisconsin, than in North
Carolina; yet not Wisconsin, nor
other citizens than those that took
part, were censured ; and, outside that
community, the ofleuse was dropped
from the day it was telegraphed to
the day of trial, while the lighter of
fense is kept green by press drippings
here, and a dozen states black-balled
fo r the crime of a handful of dark-
woods rascals of the “dirty white ’
hue!
Mixed up With Politics.
The Rev. T. DeWitl Talmage, in
the current issue of the Christian
Herald, of which lie is editor, says:
“The Temperance cause is now so
mixed up with politics that moral
Euasion is being sadly neglected. There
used to l>e|bcld a hundred temperance
meetings where now there is one
meeting now. While we are discuss
ing the laws on the subject of liquor-
selling, we are letting hundreds of
men and women go to ruin for lack
of proper instruction on the impor
tance of abstinence. We want in the
country ten thousand old-fashioned
John B. Gough temperance meetings.
But you say, wlieic arc the John B.
Goughs? They are now in our
schools and colleges and farm houses,
arc already in the occupations and
professions of life. The eloquence to
come is greater than the eloquence
passed away. Bv all means make
tbc laws right, but let us by force of
Christian persuasion stop the stampede
to death of multitudes who will not
wait until wc get the laws what they
ought to be. We need to work more
rapidly on this subject than formerly.
In olden times it took most men five
or ten years to become thorough
drunkards- Now they may reach
the foot of the stairs by one jump,
because of the worst adulteration of
libuors. Youag meu used to go on a
spree and then coiue hack and go to
work. Now we have confirmed
drunkards at twenty-one. It is the
most urgent duty of all ministers of
reTgion and nil reformers to put forth
unwonted eflorts in ihc direction of
moral suasion. Other things need to
he done, hut this must not he left un
done."
The Alliance Picnic at Metcalfe.

Kilitor Tires-Kmeiii'IU.-e:
The Alliance and School picnic
Friday, was a success in every way
At an early hour, vehicles loaded to
their utmost, began to pour into Met
call'c from every direction, and by 10
o'clock, a good humored crowd of 400
or 500 had gathered in the grove
north of the depot, bound on one days
pleasure and recreation.
And well they might, for beside the
diversion from the worry and toil of
the farm, it was certainly a pleasure to
listen to the words of wisdom,sympathy
and encouragement of lion. Richard
Turnbull, of Monticello, to his brother
alliance men. The speaker, by his
earnestness, zeal and enthusiasm, held
the strict attention of his audience,
and the hearty applause his “fit words
aptly spoken” received showed its ap
preciation. Dick Turnbull, as lie is
familiarly called, is one of nature’s
noblemen, and the most worthy cause
in which lie is engaged has 11011c more
sincere in its advocacy.
H011. R. G. Mitchell followed in an
address to the school. Those who have
heard him know with what ease lie al
ways handles his subject, and in this
particular instance, if possible, lie sur
passed himself. He held his audience
in breathless expectancy and swayed
them, as wheat by the maddening
storm, by his eloquent plea for a high
er and better education. Not a few
were the tears suppressed by his allu
sion to a time that was, but shall be
no more forever, hut ere they left
their fountain head, by a plcasaut re
minder, were dried by the happy sun
shine of the more prosperous present,
and hope of a more glorious future.
He completely captivated the fair
sex, and the frequent remark of the
men was “Boh Mitchell cannot ask
too much of me.” Just here we di
gress long enough to endorse “Citi
zen” in Sunday’s Daily, and say that
R. G. Mitchell will he taken care of
in this part of the county, any time
the occasion calls.
Alter the speaking came dinner,
and hero words fail us. It was a reg
ular democratic dinner—plenty of
such things as only the good house
wives of this vicinity can prepare and
a bountiful surplus left. It was no
fault of ours, though, for the writer,
ably seconded by half a score of oth
ers equally as good or better in that
line, tried to do away with the “sur
plus. - ’ \Ve won’t do so any more.
That is the first and the last time we
ever tried to he a republican—if they
feci as loaded under the weight of
hoodie 11s wc did after our vain efforts,
it’s a wonder there is enough left to
organize a party.
After 4 o’clock Sunday school, bug
gy rides and afternoon strolls are
pleasures largely indulged in by our
young people. On a certain Sunday
not many weeks ago, while a couple,
belonging to the latter class, were en
joying themselves, all unseen, as they
thought, the young man noticed a
thread hanging from his angel’s dress,
and thought he’d step on it to pull it
away; lie did so, and told her to wa'k
on and it would come all right. She
walked on, never looking hack, ten,
twenty and then thirty yards, while
he stood in utter amazement at its un
folding length; flnahy he said ; “Hold
on, I think you arc coming unraveled
or something else bad the matter."
She stopped, made a hurried investi
gation, the outcome of which wc have
yet to learn.

and if any one “sees it,” and goes us

handsome soda ioout, and in a day or
so will he ready to ses velhe public

Success to you gentlemen (that’s

uiut it? We are hound to “tote” fair
in this thing, even if wo do have to
run some risks).

Branded as a Thief.
Quay's “dignified silence’ and
“speechless contempt” do not awe or
shame the New York Evening Post,
which reiterates its charges against
him in the following concise language:
That Matthew S. Quay, United
States senator from Pennsylvania,
stole S2li0,000 from the state treasury
of Pennsylvania, and lost it in gam-
blimg ; that in his despair lie contem
plated suicide and made a confidant
of ‘Chris’ Magee, now, as then, a
prominent republican politician of
Pittsbug; that he was saved through
the intervention of Don Cameron,
United States senator from Pennsyl
vania, and a republican, who ad
vanced the necessary money; and
that this was done through the medi
um of Wayne MacVcah, a promiuent
lawyer of Philadelphia and ex-attor
ney general of the I'nited States,
under a republican president.”

Ground was biokcu to-day at Ivimboil. the
new town in Marion county, on tin-luniks ol
Tennessee. Notwithstanding the (net that
the starting of new towns in the South is
now of frequent occurrence, yet this occa
sion was regard’d of unusual importance
and many distinguished citizens of this and
other .States assembled to honor tho event.
Major Thomas, President of tbc Nashville,
Chattanooga and HI. bonis II. It. brought
in his private ear a parly composed of some
of the fairest daughters of Tennessee, one of

summit of a symmetrical Indian mound tiiat

Tlie brief inaugural address of Hon, li. I

out to the people how this event was the
key to bringing out the immense treasures
of the whole Scquntcheo Valley, and por
trayed in glowing terms the vast industrial

tablishment of a manufacturing center at
this point that would rival file most noted
places of the kind in Great Urltian mid Ger
many. It is well known in this section that
Mr. Kimball Invariably accomplishes far
more than he promises, therefore Ills brief
address lias had a most magical effect, and
ii Is the universal opinion fiirrc that the
christening sale of city lots at Kimball,
