Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABS&lMTEDSf PURE IS IT A SIN TO DANCE ? pare and noble little woman. Now yon can fume about that if yon want to, but it’s the troth and you know it. The parents of this land are responsi ble for their children’s action. Th* mothers are not presumed to know af much about the dance as the fathers and if the fathers do their duty then will be no more dancing and the ques tion will be solved. Next to the divine religion we of th. South hold in reverence the exalted character of Southern womanhood, ant that reverence is the only apology 1 offer for writing this article. Eves and Eabs. The Bubject of dancing is one that is receivings great deal of attention now. It is being discussed from the pulpit and from the fireside, and upon the discussion a great deal of the happiness of the young people depend. The fol lowing communications on the subject give some got the ideas pro and con, and show to what an extent the argu ments are going. In Favor of the Dance. What is dancing? It is the moving of the feet in certain given steps to mu sic, or according to time. It is an amusement in which young people, and those of more advanced^age, but who retain much of their youthful vigor and sprightliness engage as a recreation. They do dot engage in it for the sake of money, or because they hate each other, but to the contrary to spend their money pleasantly with each other, and at the same time to revive their health and spirits after the strife and toils of the day are over, or on occasions of joy. I regret to hear it condemned by some as abominable in a p rson of gentility and refinement- And it is tbis prevalent error that in duces me to give my reasons, to show it is not wrong or unbecoming in a lady, or gentleman, be he or she Christian, Jew, Gentile or Barbarian. We will first search the prayers of an tiquity, and see how the people of the good old time looked upon it. Let us take the Hebrews. That nation, which was under the especial favor and pro tection of God. It appears from their history that dancing . was not uncommon « and was indulged in on various occasions; at their feasts, celebration,'their deliverances from danger and trouble; and on occassionB ' of joy. Exodus, 15th chapter and 20tn verse. “Miriam, the pr jphetess, sister of Aaron took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out af ter her wiih timbrels and with dances.” We see Miriam standing upon a high cliff of rocks, which overlooked the Bed Sea and Pharaoh’s host, with a timbrel in her hand, and all the women of that favored people with timbrels in their hands, dancing and singing, because the horse and rider had been thrown in "tus/sfe Judges when the child- Under sworn saying: “cursed A »,..uatgivetb a wife unto Benja min.” A plot was made by the Elders, whereby the tribe of Benjamin might obtain wives They said unto them, there was soon to i a feast near Bethel, and command >children ofBeojamin to go and lie vineyards and see,“and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to danoe, in dances, then come y« out of the vineyards, and catch you every man hiawifeof the daughters ol Shiloh, and go into the land of Benjamin.” And the children of Benjamin did so, and took to their themselves wiveB according to their number of them that danced whom they caught. Exodus 33ch, 19v, we find dancing, 2nd Samuel 6ch, 14v. And David danced before the Lord with all his Might, and David was gird ed in with a linen ephod. Also in lGv, not only danced, but actually leaped into the ark of the Lord. . He, too, seemed to have been dressed Jor the occasion. Psalm 149, third verse. “Let them praise His name in the danoe. Let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.” Psalm 150, fourth verse. In both plaoes the prophet exhorteth t > praise God for bis love to the church. 1st Samuel, 27th, filth verse. “Sing ing in the dance, saying, ‘Saul slew bis thousands, David bis ten thousands,” making merry, and dancing at the over throw of the enemy. 1st Samuel, 18th ch.. Ctb verse. “Dancing to meet King Saul with musto&l instruments re turning from the slaughter of the Philistines. Jeremiah 31st chapter, 4th verse. In the restoration of Israel the Lord promises to build them up, adorn them with tabrets, and have them go forth in the danoe of them that make money. Su Matthew 14th chapter Gth verse. Herod’s birthday was kept,the daugh ter of Herodias danoed before him, and pleased Herod. 1st Samuel 30th chapter 10th verse. If a sin,’ why was it countenanced so many times, and even by the Lord? Some may argue that tho sexes did not mingle on these occasions. Very true, and only of late years have they sat to gether in all the churches, and even to this day w$find,; the in oountry a line drawn. It may be remarked that these emotions are not holy, and should not be indulged in. But to the contrary if the designs and purposes are not sinful. And now I will enquire, ho v many engage in the dance w5$h feelings better and kinder than usual?. Do they not meet their fellow bringXwith more affability and heartfelt friendship on these occa sions ? If an object of charity presents itself you will find tbatthosewho engage in the dunce are more free and liberal in lending assistance than others who re- .uaiu At homo or go to some other amusements which require their money. And show me the young man who ab stains from the dance, not being re strained by things beyond his control. I will show you nine cases out of ten, a miserable, miserly misanthrope. But again you say it is a very fascinating amusement, and young people are apt to carry it to excess. True,all you say but that is only an argument against its abase, and a reason why, you your selves, parents, guardians should at tend idle dance and see that they do not indulge to excess. If a child eats and drinks to excess, is that a reason why you should debar him from eating and drinking ? If he desires to dress extra vagantly, will you deprive him of cloth ing? I think not. Take this recreation from them, and what do they do? They must have some other amusement, and that suited to their nature, and of their own choice, or they will not have any. Tou attempt, to prescribe, and they select ten times worse. The majority of young men, rather than be cramped, in a parlor with yonng ladies, and an untuned piano, vainly en deavoring to entertain each < ther, con scious at the same time the eyes of the old people are upon them, from un known crevices watching to see if there is a manifestation of the tender feeling on the part of either will resort to the restaurant and spend fine times the amount of his patrimony in eating, drinking, smoking, chewing tobacco, that he would, badJie been permitted to indulge in the dance, when every thing is done decently and in order. Many condemn dancing, not knowing anything of the atep3 and figures and decent propriety with which ladies and gentlemen are bound to conduct themselves. Yet they condemn it, and that with, out a reason. Dancing, when properly conducted, is not contrary to moral law, is not siufal or unbecoming to the most refined and fastidious. This is my henest convic tion, and let others do and say what they may. “Hoai soit qui maly’ pense” “Today I’ll haste to dance my time as if tomorrow should ne’er be mine. Bat if tomorrow comes, why then—I’ll haste to dance my time again.” Augusta Moobe. Atlanta, May 25th. Against the Dance. The man who would argue through public print against the danoe is haudi- THE LIE PASSED. Col. Post is After Governor Northen- Pretty p’ain talk to be Riven the Gov ernor (f Georgia, but Col. Post' give? it. Such things as these are common however, knowing that official position keeps a man frem giving just compen sation. In the People’s party paper is the fol lowing card: If He Said It he Lied. “In his speech at Sparta recently Governor Hoi then is reported to have said of myself and Mrs. Post: “ 'He Is an infidel. He is an anar chist. Are you going to closet your self with him ? “ ‘How do I know? He says so. His wifesaysso. Perhaps I should not thus attack a woman, but she has un sexed hem If. She has written letters against the Democratic party. An atheist herself she makes $1,000 month sellir g her Democratic heresy.’ “During the trouble concerning the Hay market not, Post’s wife mailed the anarchists’ wives money. Host was told that unless he took it r ut of the of fice he would be tarred and feathered, and the infamous cur took it out.’ “If Governor Northen made these statements I r;ply, simply and plainly, that on every count made, except that of having written letters denouncing the Democratic party, Governor North en deliberately lied. “C. C. Post.” Governor Northen, when seen, said that in due time he would answer it^and give Col. Post all he wanted. Lively times are abend. The casting out of the devil of disease was once a sign of authority. Now we take a little more time about it and cast out devils by thousands—we do it by knowledge.

He cannot write Vo»Ami<i»y8iyi!»Hniilnid«Mwr as plainly as he would like. He cannot express in the exact terms the idea she wishes, to convey. Yet he can say enough to convince the mind that be hind the dance there lurks a danger that should not be courted but that should by all means be avoided. I preface my brief remarks by the as sertion that the young ladies who at tend the germans and round dances are uot aware of the dangers that lie hidden there, and also by the further assertion that if we, who oppose the dance, sould talk as plainly to them aa we could to iheir fathers or brothers there would u’t be a german in Athens again, unless it were a stag party. It may be said that dancing was in dulged in by the Bibical heroes. Grant it, an i you have proved nothing. Every dance recorded is one of holy thanks giving, and no one will be so bold as to assert that modem germans are danced with tbesameend in view. It is claimed that dancing is a recrea tion. Cooking is also considerable re creation, so is milking, washing the dishes, atending to household duties, hoeing in the garden, and the like. There is not so much objection to be urged to the square dances as to the round dances _ and not so much to private dances as to public germans, bat as the last seems to be the most fashionable mode at pre sent, I will uonfine my remarks to it. To start with the dresses used at these germans are not only objectionable in point of style and make, but are also dangerous to the health of the young ladies. How many cases of death re sulting from disease, from exposure in the ball room,I need not stop to enumer ate. In the next plaoe the affair is pub lic; it brings the yonng ladies out too conspicuously before the gaze of thi vulgar, and when I say this I mean it. Lastly the attendants upon a german are not selected very exclusively, and on the german floor a young lady i. compelled to dance with whomsoevei leads her out. She may never have met him more than once before, she may not know what kind of a man he is, and yet she must dance with him. I am aware' of the fact that many will be affronted at what I write, that they will lift their heads in holy horror.

Washington, May 28.—The lines in the Biaine-Harrison fight grow daily tighter. The president’s friends de clare that he i* ready for war. That he defies Blaine to an open test of strength. That he will- fight to the last ditch. The Blaine men affirm that the nomina tion will come to him spontaneously. The fight for the organization of the convention has commenced. The Har rison people now expect to pat np Gen eral Horace Porter for temporary and Senator Cullom for permanent chair- them off. You need not tell me that every man who dances upon the floor of the public german is without guile and utterly spotless,for happy for me iD my present position, I know wbat I am writing about. The major ity of men who go to these ball rooms are all right, but there are some who are unfit to touch the finger tips of a The antis expect to present ex-Speaker Reed for temporary, and Governor Me Kinley for permanent chairman. As the McKinley bill and the Reed congress are the two biggest monstrosities that the convention will have to endorse, is wise to have their chief promoters in positions to contribute most to the en dorsements. - Prohibitionists Hold All Night. Columbia, May 28.—The prohibition convention spent several hours wrang ling over the address to the people of the state presented by the resolution committee. This address advocated the ranningof a prohibition candidate for the legislature. Some ministerial dele gates got pretty hot and finally the ad dress was modified so that it demands that each candidate shall place himself on record as to prohibition for the in formation of prohibition voters. An executive committee was elected and the convention adjonrned at 3 a. m. For Bolls, Pimple. * r Db. O. W.

CYCLONE WORK. The Awful Wreck of a Town in Kansas Kansas City, Mo., May 28 —A special to The Journal from Wellington, Kan., says a cyclone passed over that place, killing and injuring 509 peo'ple. The storm passed directly through the center of the town, wrecking everything in its path. Fire broke out in the wrecked district, causing great-destruction. The following is a complete list of those killed by the tornado, as gathered at tbis hour, 2:30 a. in.: Frank D. Camp- bell, James Hastie, Leonard Adamson, Ida Jones, Mrs. Asher and sister. Kittie Strahn, Professor Mayor and Horton Upson are missing, and are probably killed. Lieutenant W. French and Cadet Samms of the Salvation Ar my, Mrs. Mnrpliy and a child named Mattie Hodges aro badly injured. Cas Stoner, Gus Colby, Dick‘Weaver, Car rie Mitchell and Ed Forsythe each re ceived injuries more or less serious. The streets are impassable, and noth ing but rain exists everywhere. At least twelve bodies have already been taken out of the ruins, and something less than seventy-five are injured. Men are working everywhere trying to i cue the imprisoned ones. No one now can realize the extent of the catastro phe, and daylight alone will reveal the saddest scene of ruin anctdesolation ever witnessed in southern Kansas. A WRECKED CREW.

San Feancisco, May 28.—The crew of the ship St. Charles, which was blown np off the Oregon coast on the 17th inst, has arrived here. The St. Charles left Nanimo with coal, May 13, for San Francisco. ^ On the morning of the 17th Second Mate Mike Flynn and Charles Lenberg, a sailor, went to the fore hatch to get potatoes, carrying a lan tern. Lenberg was about to crawl in, lantern in hand, when the explosion oc curred. Flynn was lifted bodily in the air with a great bole in his scalp and his legs burned to . a crisp. Len berg was thrown back and terribly cat and burned. Stranburg, another Bailor, was singed by the flames. Ned Kiley, a sailor on deck at the time, states that when the explosion occurred, ropes, hawsers, and the main hatch cover were hurled into the sea and the deck opened wide from the after part Of the house to the stern. The ship was generally demolished. TjJje rigging was on fire and the pumps would not work. Captain Chapman was found pinned to the floor in his cabin under broken timber, his spine broken. The men extricated him with great difficulty, and made haste to get into boats, as the vessel was sinking. There were nineteen men divided among three small boats. When last seen the ship w»s foundering. Tbe boats were 200 miles from land, without a compass. They succeeded in making Cape Foul- weather safely, and there Captain Chapman died.

Scarcely a day passes bnt each one of us is guilty, through carelessness, ignorance, oi perhaps intention, of some unkind, hasty word or act against another. We misjudge another’s word or deed, and. with angry motives, we try to right our selves and assert oar injured dignity. When our better nature is restored, we regret that we were not slow to anger. We are mortified that our own perceptions were not keen enough to see the word or deed from an impartial point of view and often we feel tine contntiop that we have cherished unjust suspicions, and voiced <>nr thoughts indignantly and harshly. There is an uneasy tugging of our con science and a hun spot in another’s heart —two discords where all might have been harmonious. Or we are so busy with our duties, so wrapped up in our efforts to get wbat we wish, that we hurry along rough shod over anything or person that checks our hasty pace. We are not unkind, but careless of another’s share in tbe daily doinge. We are self-assertive, and we im agine every one else tqnally able to main tain himself. We are surprised to find ourselves charged with indifference and selfishness, and to see another indignant at onr self-centred course ; or we are ig norant of the tender spot, tbe sensitive nerve, in our neighbor’s more high-strung nature, and with idle or besl-intentioned chat we press clumsily the place we should avoid. All this is annoying, and we who con scientiously live to do good rather than evil feel discouraged with our tactless selves,and often justly so with those whose feelings are apparently “ always od draught.” But how many of us are will ing to apologise ? How many cheerfully use tbis, tbe first meaus of righting wrongs ? Just why should false pride suc ceed in convincing us that to assure anoth er that we regret the wrong, and are mind ed not to repeat it, is humiliating ? The humiliating part of the matter is our own shortcoming in tact and thoughtfulness, not the fact that we say we see our blun der. The oifejce is two-fold—onr part and our neighbor’s— and it is not eoougb to be mentally resolved that tbe trouble shall not arise again. The neighbor Bbould share this resolve, tbis mutual apology. Not that apology is the whole of repeut- ance, genuine turning from past acts, but it is the first chord that leads quickly, nat urally back from discordant keys to past or higher harmonies. To know the beauty of apology in its fullness, it shonld be met in the same spirit of frankness. To receive an apology in h doubting, grudging, ungracious way is a disgrace. It is ill-bred, ignoble, unchris tian. We are all liable to grievously of. fend at any moment, and when our broth er says, “I was wrong; let me try again,’’ let us not chill bis frank impulses. Let us add our share to the beauty of bis apology by a trusting .hearty God-speed.—Harper’s Children’s Department. WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR? THE NEW CREATION. In the Scriptures this spiritual change in man is known by different names_ such.as regeneration, a new birlh, a being born again, a quickening, and Ibe formation of Christ in the soul. Though the terms vary, yet their meaning is tbe same. Tbey ex press one end the same thing, L e., * that supernatural work Of God by which he transforms the soul into bis own like ness. In tbe accomplishment tbe efficient agent is tbe Holy Ghost. Neither human nor angelic power is equal to the undertaking. It lies wholy within tbe divine province, It is a creation. To create is Goa’s act. He alone’ean change tbe stony into a fleshly heart, or render tbe unimpressitile nature responsive and mouldable. He first made man, and be must remake him. Sin mar red his oiiginai workmanship; grace must re*stampit. This God does through the operations of tbe Holy Spirit. This func tion Jesus assigned to the Holy Spirit In his conversation with Nicodemus. The apostles in their teachings ascribe it to him. The history of the Chriataio Church attests how grandly and glotioualy he has ext cuted the blessed office in million nt saints during the intervening ages since his Pentecostal manifestations Tbe sub jects of it aro ready to give him the entire honor of tie r transformations. They an conscious tbs t. under it tbey are passive, not active—acted upon, not actors. Tney know that they possess not the recrcatine energy. They bless God for its exertio; on their behalf, and attribute to him all th< glory of it In effecting ids renovations the Holy Ghost employs the word of God. As James writes, “Oh bis own will begat he us b\ the word of truth.” He implants and d< velops tbis incorruptible seed. Ont of it he educes tbe principle of life. He quick ens it, when the mighty and marvellous change is wrought.—Selected. Ckabkb Lodge No. 30, L O. O. F..

Yts, ma’am; very often in h« weather.” “And wh» re do yon go for water then?' “T«» the spring a little way out of town,” “And if that spring dries up?” “Why, then we go to the spring higher up, the best water of all.” “But if that stream higher up fails?’’ “Why, ma’am, that stream never dties up—never. It is always the same winter and summer.” I went to this piecious brook which “never dries np.” It was a clear, sparkling rivulet, coming down the high hill—not with torrent leap and roar, but soft mur mur of fulness and freedom. It flowed down the highway aide; it was within reach of every child’s pitcher; it was enough for empty vessel. The small birds came down thither to drink; the sheep and lambs had trodden down a little path to its brink. The thirsty beast of burden, along the dusty road, knew the way to the stream that“never dries np.” It reminded me of the waters of life and salvation flowing from tbe “Itock of Ages, ’ and brought within the reach of all men by the gospel of J sue Christ. Every other brook may grow dry in the days of drought and adversity, but this heavenly spting never ceases to flow.—Selected. “Children,” said Mr..
