it would bo to our sermons to press into
them even a fragment of Mediterranean sea

awfully dry if we imitated oitr blessed uord-,
and in our discourse* like Him, Wt> would
let n Illy bloom, or a choW fly, or a hod
brootl her chickens, Or a crystal of salt flash
out the preservative qualities of religion.
The trouble is that In many »f our theo
logical seminaries men who are so dry them
selves they never could get people to come
and hear them preach are now trying to
teneh young men how to preach, and tho
student is nut between two great presses of
dogmatic theology and squeezed until there
is no life loft fn him. Give the poor victim
at least one lesson on the botany of tho Bible.
That wns an awful plunge that tho recreant
prophet Jonah m ule when, dropped over the
gunwales of the Mediterranean snip, ho sank
many fathoms down into a tempestuous sea,
Both before an 1 after the monster of the deep
swallowed him, he was entangled in seaweed,
Tho jungles of tho deep threw their cordage
of vegetation around him. Borne of this sea

watery abysm, and «omo of it was afloat arid
swallowed by the groat sea monster, so that*
While the prophet was at tho bottom of tho
deep alter ho was horribly Imprisoned he
could exclaim and did exclaim in the words
of my text, “Tho weeds woro wrapped about
iny head.”
Joannh wns the first to record that there
are growth! upon the bottom of the sea us
well as upon land. Tlie first picture I ever
owned was a handful of seaweeds pressed on
a page, and I called them “the shorn loeks
of Neptune.” These products of the deep,
whether brown or green or yellow or pur
ple or red or Inters not of many colors, are
most faseiunting. They are distributed all
over the depths and from Arctic to Antarctic,
That G</d thinks well of them l oonoludo
from the fact that he has made 6000 species
of them. Sometimes these Water plants
are 400 or ?00 font long, and they cable
tho sea. One* specimen lias a growth of
1000 feet.
On the northwest shore of oilr country is a
seaweed with leaves thirty or forty feet lontf*
ftmid which tlio sea otter makes his homo,
testing himself on the buoyancy of the leaf
and stem. Tho thickest jungles Of tho trop
ics arc not more full of vegetation than the
depths of the sea. There are forests down
there and vast prairies all abloom, and God
walks there as no walked in the Garden of
Eden “in the cool of the day.” Oh, what
tntrunoemont, this subaqueous world! Oh,
the God given wonders ol the seaweed I Its
birthplace Is a palace of crystal. Tlie cradle
that rooks It Is the storm. Its grave is ft sar
cophagus of beryl and sapphire. There is
no night down there.
There are creatures oi God on the bottom
of the sea so constructed that, strewn all
along, they make a firmament besprent with
stars, constellations and galaxies of impos
ing luster. The sea feather is a lamplighter.
The gym not us is an electrician, ami he is
surcharged with electricity and makes the
deep bright with the lightniug of the (tea.
The gorgonia flashes like jewels. There are
Sea Huoinou-H ablaze with light. There are
the starfish and tho moon Ish, so called bo-
causcthey so powerfully suggest stellar and
lunar illumination.
Oh, these midnight lanterns of the ocean
caverns ; these processions of flame over the
\v lit* floor of the deep ; these ill urn l nations
three miles down under the sea; these
gorgeously upholstered castles of the Al-
tnignty In the underworld ! The author of
the text felt the pull of the hidden vegetation
•i thm Mediterranean, whether or not he au*
predated its beauty, n.e ho cried out, “The
Weeds were wrapped about my head.”
Let ray subject cheer all those who had
friends who have been buried at sea or in
our great American lakes. Which of us
brought up on the Atlantic coast has not had
kindred or friend thus s qmlcherod? We had
tin*, useless horror of thinking that they were
denied proper resting place. We said : “On.
if they had live 1 to come ashore and ha l
then expired! What nn alleviation of our
trouble It would have been to put them in
some beautiful family plot, whore we could
have planted flowers and trees over them.”
Why, God did better for them than we could
have done for them. They were let down
into beautiful gardens. Before they had
reached the bottom they hud garlands about
their brow.
In more elaborate and adorned place than
we could have afforded them they were put
away for the last slumber. Hear it, mothers
and fathers of sailor boys whose ship went
down in our last August hurricane! Thera
ar»* no Greenwoods or Laurel Hills or Mount
Auburns so beautiful on the land as there are
banked and terraced and scooped and hung
in ihe depths of the sea. The bodies of our
foundered an.l sunken friends ure girdled
and canopied and housed with such glories
as attend no other Necropolis.
They wore swamped in lifeboats, or they
struck on Goodwin sands or Deal beach or
the Bkerries, and were never heard of. or dis
appeared with the City of Boston, or the Villi
de Havre, or the Cymbria or were run down
in a fishing smack that put out from New
foundland. But dismiss your previous gloom
about the horrors of ocean entombment.
When Sebastopol was besieged in the
Anglo-French war, Prince Mentchlkof, com
manding tho Russian navy, saw that tin
only way to Keep tun jKuglisn out of tlie. har
bor was to sink all the Russian ships of war
in tiie roadstead, and so 100 vessels sank.
When, after the war was over, our American
engineer, Gowan, descended to the depths
In a diving bell, it was an impressive spec

One hundred buried ships! But it is that
way nearly all aoross the Atlantic Ocean.
Whips sunk not by command of admirals,
but by tho command of cyclones.
But they all had sublime burial, and the sur

There is a great comfort that tolls ovor
upon us from this study of the so-oaliud sea

of u particular providence. When I And

And wlmt fills me with unspeakable de
light is that this God of depths and heights,
of ocean nnd of continent, may, through
Jesus Ohrlst, tho divinely appointed moans,
be yours and mine, to help, to cheer, to
pardon, to save, to imparudiso. Wlmt

Tlio district convention of the Asso
ciation fol* the Suppression of Out
rages and Lynchiflgs, was held at
Waycross a few dtlys ago. The meet
ing was fairly well attended, consider
ing the brief notice on which it was
gotten up. A committee was appoint
ed to prepare and issue a call for the
state meeting, which will be held at
Macon, Ga., October 19tli.
Mr.W. A. Paschal, of Waycross, lint
harvested 20,000 pounds of choice hay
from tho ground on which a crop of
oats was harvested this year. The bay

This shows what can bo done on the

love to enfold and uplift nnd enrapture us.
An 1 when God does small things so well,
seemingly taking as much care with tho coll
of a sea weed as the outbranching oi a
Lebanon cedar, and with the color of a veg
etable growth which is hidden fathoms out
of sight as He does with the solterino and
purple of a summer suusot, wo will be deter
mined to do well all we are called to do,
though no ono see or appreciate us. Mighty

We cannot now fully investigate.

to what extent this state lias been held

A triumphal march 1ms beeu hindered

A novel point of Jaw was made iu
Judge Van Epps’ court at Atlanta re-
| ccntly in the case of the Grand Bap-
ids, Mich., Furniture company against
L. DcGivc. The furniture company
sued Mr. DcGive for material furnish-
j nd and obtained judgment. Mr. Do-
Givo went before tlie city court,
through his attorney, and asked that
tho judgment bo set aside on the
1 be- I ground that he represents a foreign
power and cannot I)? sued in the state
courts. Tho attorneys for the plain
tiff filed affidavits alleging that Mr.
DoGivo was accredited to tho United

President J. O. Waddell will welcome
the delegates on behalf of tlio State
Agricultural Society. There will bo
speakers on the list from South Caro
lina, Mississippi, Georgia, Kansas,
Nebraska, Maine, Illinois and other
states. Tho convention wnshold lastyoar
in Lincoln, Neb., nnd Vico President
Purse, after 11 hard fight, succeeded in
securing it for Savannah this year.
The resolution under which the con
vention was brought hero included tv
guarantee that the expenses of tlio
convention to an amount not to exceed
#500 would bn paid and that tho usual
reduction in hotel rates would bo se
cured, two things with which Savan
nah never lias and never will find any
difficulty in c mplying when a body
like tlie National Farmers’ convention
consents to pay them a visit.

Adviincnln Naval More*.
1 The receipts of naval stores atSavari*
j nah have been unusually largo during
! the past three weeks. This is on ac-
I count of the shipments which would
go to Brunswick being sent there.
Tho lu rge receipts have not had the
effect of weakening the market, how
ever, as prices have been steadily ad
vancing recently and the 'demand
seems to be on tlie increase. The mark
et for rosins lias been firm for several
weeks. There is a good demand for all
grades, mediums and pales being
specially sought after. These grades
bring higher prices than the quota
tions when separated from the general
lot. Although tho stocks of spirits
turpentine and rosin on hand and on
shipboard are more than double that
at this time last year, they arc not
really on the market, but have been
sold, and are waiting to be shipped.
One firm doing business in SuvanuaU
owns about one-half of tlio stock on
hand. Tho price for spirits turpen
tine is about tlie same as it was thi#
time last year. Common rosins 111 •
about 10 cents cheaper, while medium
and pales aro bringing more than they
were last year.
The Pitcher Plant.
The “Huntsman’s cup,” or pitchof
plant, is conceded to be one of the cur
liest, if not the earliest of the wild
flowers of America to become known to
Europeans. References occur iu relation
to it as early as 1570, when a Lisbon
physician, named Lutinanus, sent it to a
contemporary us the leaves of the frank-
inen, so they rfen say. ‘There, that boy -
once a nowshAr.’ ” My hearers, join the
