IHE sad death sf Mr. Robert Iloyt iu Rome has cast h serious gl .otu over the Hill city. Ilis mind was evidently un hinged from Sometaiuse. His family re ceive the sincere sympathy of many friends, as w§!l as from the friends of his honored father, Rev. Nathan Hoyt, one ot the most distinguished Presbyterian divines of Ids age. The Constitution is concerned about the spy system in St. Petersburg, and Gen. Pierce Young’s annoyance ihere from. l’he General will not allow such a small matier as this to interrupt his comfort. He will quickly be on good terms with the military, just as be was w ith Generals Grant and Sherman after the war. So we beg the Constitution to dismiss its friendly apprehension. Hon. Benjamin Butler is charged with gross mismanagement and deficit of funds in the management of the Soldier’s Home near Washington city. We are of the opinion he will manage to show a clean sheet after he has had all the noto riety in the matter that he desires—for he is very rich and mitch too wise to de fraud the soldiers of ihe Grand Army— even if he needed the money, which he does not . ♦— President Cleveland has a very poor opinion of newspaper editors. He in dulged in a regular old-fashioned scold the other day, and if lie is reported cor roctly, the fraternity deserv.e something worse even than the halter. We forgive him so far as we are concerned, but when he runs again in IBSS he will take ir all hack with proper apologies, or some of these big city dailies will make him wish he hadn’t said it. Miss Abagail Dodge, a cousin of Mrs. Blaine, who writes over the nomde plume of “Guil Hamilton,” is perhaps the finest political wriier in the United States, male or female. She is not handsome, and has passed the hey-dey of youth many months ago, but she is a charming talker as well as a must brilliant writei. 1 here is a causiieity and pungency in her sentences that arc uneqn tied by any writer at the present time, and she has successfully held her own with any an tagonist that has dared '.<• reply.

The invalid wife and tier sister waited for his return until the latter went in search, only to find the benevolent old man a mangled corpse. Numerous arrests have been made but no conviction at the latest ad vices. Dr. Pasteur is going to establish a farm where he will raise “mad dog” virus .with which to inoculate hydro phobia patients, much as vaccine virus is cultivated for small pox prevention. The.

Should his method prove a success his discovery will mark anew era in medical science. The dis coverer who lessens pain and saves hu man life from untowards evils, is near the topot the ladder of earthly fame, measured by every other achievement in philosophy, statesmanship or science. The Present Congress. The personnel of the Congressional law-makers is a subject of interest al ways. The present Congress has 324 seats, filled by representatives from every ■State and Territory in the Union Wisconsin sends the youngest man and Connecticut the oldest. There aie2Bs lawyers in the House and Senate, and but seven doctors. Farmers are so scarce that they are hardly worth mentioning, while there are seven newspaper Con gressmen. The North keeps her best men in office. The South makes such a rule the exception, in most instances, although there are a few Senators who Irave been kept in conti. uous service that do both themselves and their con stituents credit. Mr. Kelly, of Pennsyl vania, lia3 served twenty-four years. Mr. Randall twenty-two. Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, lias been in the House and Senate twenty-nine years. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, has served twelve years in the House and eighteen in the Senate. Senator Sherman has served twenty-six years, and Judge Edmunds twenty. Senator Beck his been in Washington seventeen years, the only Southern Sena tor who ha* kept his seat so long. But the South had an interruption of four or five years that should not be counted in this make up—a* their start for pro motion was hedged about with ddiioul ties, Who is Mad" Wc do not like to see missionary matters take an ab-nrd shape. The call through the Clmrcn irumpeis for “one hundred and tifty mission aries for China,” while the home treasury is one hundred and fiftv thousand dollars on the minus side, seems somehow quixotic and arith metically farcical.—Bt, Louis Christian Advo cate. Who is sober? Men of faith or men of sight onlyV Not quite so fast, dear brother of the St. Louis Advocate. I>r. Allen and the Church trumpets are uot move quixotic than the author of the command to a few despised Gallileans to ‘•Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” If we be beside ourselves it is umo God.—Wesleyan Advocate. The St. Louis editor certainly can lay claim to sobriety in his argument, and the Wesleyan will be under the necessity of farther explanation before it will carry its point with sensible people who love truth in our church policy, and who respect facts rather than quixotic and farcical schemes that are barren in re sults. We are aware that the “hundred and fift missionary” plan is now being pressed on the Methodist Church in sea son and outof season We are also aware t -at personal antagonism is felt towards those who are bold enough to question its feasibility as well as its propriety, bur there is too much extravagance on one side and too much ri-k on the other side of the subject to allow these enthu siasts and undisputed “walk over,” in an ecclesiastical body, where so many of us have equal rights and should enjoy equal privileges. The men who claim to dic tate absolute measures to the church in this-way should be able to give a better reason for 150 China missionaries than has yet been given, and unless there should be more regard for debt paying, and more liberality in home missions, (which in our opinon have been impov erished by quixotic and farcical leaders in the church), there will be a serious revolt in many places, and such a revolt will overturn many theories, miscalled orthodoxy, before the end is in sight. So long as the Bible is the “man of our counsel,” then we are in safe paths, but human ideas and human declarations are like their authors —fallible. ‘Thread bare forms and far-fetched theology are weakening in force every day. The truth, the plain practical truth, is the de mand of the hour. This life and its du ties will always dominate dog matism hereafter, and a system of foreign missions, which is not worth a cent when applied to heathens in America, can never be called a success in China. For instance: In New York city there are six mission chapels for the Chinese of that city. Besides these 'places of worship there has been erected a taber nacle for a re-union of all the mission Sunday Schools belonging to the afore said chapels. When the grand re-union was eat tapis what did these Chinese con certs do? The New York Sun says: They sat up an image of Joss and lapsed into the worship instituted by Confucius. Now, will any sane man propose to ac complish more by wav of instruction in China than could be done by the pious men and women of New York city, • h re both parties were familiarly ac quainted in business as well as in relig ions avocations? If failure was so signal under such fa vo. ible auspices, and if precept and ex ample should be so 'barren of results in 'ids country, why send 150 missionaries o rhi-i juncture (at such an enormous ex p > s *) to China, until the force has been quadrupled at home or new plans and methods are set on foot here that will yield tangible results, which promise real success? Now. we are told, that the whole church is to be steadily pressed to raise a large foreign mission collection hv rhe Ist of March, and a pledge was exacted of every preacher in. the con ference that he would forego every other effort until this money was pulled into trie treasury by every sort of’appeal or pressure that can be applied. Do yon not. agree with the ahlp Sr Louis editor that “one hundred and fifty missionaries for China when the home treasury is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the minus side, seems somehow quixotic and arithmetically farcical?” We are reliably informed that the head-lights in the Georgia conference who exacted this extraordinary pledge from all the preachers, are about to begin a regular canvass of every circuit and station to see that these preachers ‘‘toe the mark.” Leaving out the regular col lections of the church, the poor preacher must quit everything else (even to the privation of his own family and himself at a season when nearly all churches are strained to make them easy and comfort able) to beg, coax and browbeat his charge that the 150 missionary tourists may be sure of an early start in the fall, with a snug salary while the stay abroad lasts. It may be a sort of fasting method to mortify the flesh and to enforce the duty of self-sacrifice, but unless such are the o’ jects, this ecclesiastical exaction and enforced contributions smack loudly of the domineering spirit which aided the collection of “Peter’s pence” in former times. This tax, as our readers know, was nominally collected from Anglo Saxons to keep up a Popish school in Rome, but which finally landed in the Pipe’s pocket. We are unwilling to believe that our sober-minded preachers in the Georgia conference will deliberately put aside their legitimate work to “serve tables,” afrer this fashion. These quixotic en thusiasts (.who are used by more cunning teachers) are perhaps unaware that the money and influence of the church as Doing thus diverted into “farcical experi ments” —across-the ocean. Our good Dr. Potter knows that the “de-pised Gallileau” had a deal to say about “paying debts” also. The gift at the altar must be an honest gift or it is In conclusion : Are all the energies of the Methodist Church to be turned China ward? Sr. Paul says: “God has set some in the church as apostles, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues, etc;” bur In the year 1886, we are told In in >dern instructors to quit everything until the Ist of Mi*‘oh bit China mi 11111.*, to send 15!) a >re men and women ove* there; to build another China Col- lege, although the whole membership should be crippled, and all this must be done with an old debt of $150,000 staring us in the face all the time. Oli, ye blind guides! A Republican Senator is saiil to have spoken thu* of Present Cleveland in Washington a a few days ago: “Confound him, he has completely demoral ized the Republicans in my State, and has broken up our organization by retaining iu office some of the most active politicians we have. Of course they want to hang on as long as they can, and have, therefore, been afraid to do anything to help us lest they might be removed for offen sive partisanship. Our State Committee sent out letters to all of the men who have usually looked after the canvass, most of whom are postmas ters in the small towns, and of the seventeen hundred persons to whom they were addressed, only about six hundred replied, and some of these merely stated that they were unable to furnish the information desired, because their entire time was required by their official duties. We never received such an excuse before, and a similar circular sent out a year previous to the same men was responded to almost unanimously. I wish the President would dismiss every blessed Republican now bolding office in my State. Then we would have five or six hundred more active party workers than we have now ” “What is sauce for the goose will do for he gander.” The Demo rats are pitrom into the admin stration in alm l way ecause the Pre-ident and the p rty a. keeping the fai hful out in the cold, so he diffi culty i ab ut t e same in boh parties. In Georgia the Federal appointments have not been changed excep< m but few instances, nd we are of the opinion that there will be a noticeable lack of enthu siasm in political circles in 1888. This is the first time the Democrats have had a showing at the public crib since the war, and twenty years of waiting makes them very hungry, while it is a genuine sur prise io the Republicans th<tthey should keep their offices as they are now doing. It is hinted that President Cleveland will be nominated by the mugwumps and weak-kneed Republicans in *he next race as against Gov. Hill, of New Y'ork, whq, represents the straightout democra cy. In sueli an emergency, look out for a disruption of old parties and party lines—such as was never seen before in the United States. But that contingency might suit Messrs. Blaine to a “T,” as their chances would then im prove accordingly—in such a scramble. New Year’s at the White House. The President escorted Mrs. Bayard to the grand reception room before the fes tivities began, while Mr. Bayard gave his arm to Miss Cleveland. The other cab inet officers, with their families, followed excep* Me is, Lamar and Garland, who Were absent. President Arthur always invited the Speaker’s wife and also the wife of the President of the Senate, but President Cleveland confined his atten tions to his cabinet, making a marked preference for Mr. Bayard to rank and position. We incline to rbink he made a mistake in this, for he holds office in a re public, not in a monarchy, and it will prove more popular to show fair and im partial attentions to those who are in a posit)"n to expect hi notice n such semi imponHiit particulars. It tkes a smart man, however, to boss such an official family, o*id mistakes are more than apt to occur with even the best intentions. Louisville and Memphis are greatly excited over a marriage, that certainiy has in it some peculiar features. A young Louisville lady was expecting to fee married on New Year to a rich young man of Memphis The latter had been engaged to another young lady for sev eral years previous, but the engagement was broken off before he entered the sec ond betrothal relation. Just as he was getting ready to go to Louisville the first young lady grew desperate, sought an interview and persuaded Mm to marry her at once, leaving the exp >n bride to meet h r guests, arrange her voiding presen sand trousseau without him— sending a mysterious telegram at the last instant We congratulate the disappoint ed girl on her lu ky escape from a per fidious man, and we would remind the infatuated young wife she has her mari tal happiness in a very shaky earthen vessel, which will need careful handling. If some editors owned a full purse wouldn’t they take the first train to Indian river in Florida, and get rid of such cold snap3 as we had on Tuesday ? THE CARELESS LSE OF MORPHINE. Hardly a day passes that we do not see accounts of death, resulting from the mistaking of quinine for morphine. The most familiar drug w ith which the peo have to deal is quinine. No drug is so frequently given through mistake for quinine as morphine. All their physical appearances are very similar, weight about the same, color identically alike taste cannot be distinguished, as both are intensely bitter. Indeed so great is their similarity in looks that -lie most as tute ehemis could not look upon the two drugs and distinguish one from the oth er. So frequent have cases of poisoning occurred by administering morphine for quinine, that the State of Georgia has made it a law requiring all dealers in mor phine to place upon each bottie or pack age a red label with the word “mor phine” printed in w r hite letters. Now this, to some extent, is precau tion, but not absolutely so. Labels are frequently removed, and subjected to various conditions that would render them unreliable. What the people want is a simple and reliable test showing the difference in these articles; and the ob ject in writing this article is to give that test. If you are not absolutely sure of your drug, put a quantity in a little clear water. If the solution presents a cloudy, milky appearance, not whollv dissolved, you may be satisfied it is quinine. On the other hand, if upon the addition of a few grains of the powder to a quantity of water, say half ounce or ail ounce, and the solution becomes clear and trans parent, you may be sure the drug em ployed is morphine. Now these are tests any one can make, andwdien these is the slightest doubt, should be resorted to. Very respectfully, David W. Curry.

Editors Courant —As I said in a pre vious communication, our present home stead laws are an encouragement to ex tortion. Those who sell on time, know ing the uncertainty of our collection laws, feel obliged to put enough per centage on their goods to save themselves from probable loss, and thus the burden falls on the honest and conscientious man who is willing to pay his debts, and whose necessities compel him to buy at these ruinous rates. It is proper to pro tect the creditor, but it should be done under proper and just and equitable laws. The buyer is also encouraged to do wrong, by shirking his debt, under the protection of the present unfair laws. He decides that he is much poorer than the man he owes, that his debt will crip ple him far more than rbe man who ad vanced to him, am M n the p> eh comes he avoids pa> •• "> r *f he ea-i af ford to sacrifice mor 1 chat •for by re sisting payment. Tt * ; e defective laws not only impoverish the poor man but they foster dishonesty and open a way for the tempter. They not only im peril his moral character by such ille gal resistance, but they fatally impair his credit, so that a present gain makes a fu ture loss in more senses than one, There should be sufficient statesman ship in the country to regulate this mat ter more equally for both the creditor and debtor. Far better to do away with all homestead laws, permitting every creditor to make his money, than to en tail such a curse upon future generations after the poor hard worked men of the present are in their graves.

In the northern part of Terrell county is a lone grave by the roadside. Tradi tion says that some travelers many years ago, lost an infant while encamped there, and burying their darling, moved on to other parts. A board that spanned the length of the grave once bore the date 1854 which was two years before the Act laying off Terrell county. At that time only a few families lived in that lo cality and the forest was an unbroken wilderness. In the lower part of Spalding county a negro man on Tul Patrick’s place, hart a Jersey bull. He broke out of his pen and attacked a mule on the place, and gored him to death. lie then started across the country in a mad run, signal ling his coming by his constant bellow ing, and caused people to flee in every direction.

The tomb of Mr. Vanderbilt will be guarded all winter until the mausoleum is finished. The Methodist Book Concern, Xew York and Cincinnati, has combined a net capital, above ail liabilities, of $1,750,000. j Gen. B. F. Butler has quietly an- j nouneed to his friends his intention to run for Congress in his district in Massa chusetts at the next election. The Brazilian Legislature has passed a bill providing for the gradual emancipa tion of the slaves in Brazil. Under this bdl the last si ive will be freed at the end of thirteen years, but the great muss will be emancipated in niffe years. Many of the newspapers state that William 11. Vanderbilt was the richest man in the world. This is not so. “If he was worth $200,000,000,” says a corre spondent of toe X ional Republican, *'it would be bu oiie-.hml of ; tie estate left by the Priuce Hnherozollern-Stg n-i ifgeu, who died a short time agt> The of Duke Westminster owns realties v;ilu and nt£150,000,000, auihe Australian papers speak of a man said to be worth twice that amount. One of the Roths childs is worth £1000.000,000.” The Lynchburg (Va.) News says that although the lynching of Henry M -on (colored), recently, for the murder of Mr. Aammers’v, l- the first oceuir nee of the kind in Campbell county, the very name of “lynch law” was derived from a native of that county—old Colonel Lynch—who was in the habit of admin istering summary punishment to maraud ers and miscreants of every deserin tion without paying any attention to the ordinary processes of law. Hence he waa called “Judge Lynch;” and this, it is said, is the true origin of the terms “lynching” and “lynch law.” Indiana has furnisned the country with two Vice-presidents—Colfax and Hen dricks. Both died very suddenly. Mr. Colfax, it will be remembered, dropped dead at a railroad station, while waiting for a train. The cause of death in each case must have been much the same.

From the New York Sun.] Washington, Dec. 2S.— Speaker Ca: - lisle is putting the finishing touches on the committee lists. The men who hav advised and assisted him in the work, and tttiD possess- Ids confidence moo closely than any other two members o th ■ an M ri-oi, of Illinois, an*) Willi-, f K * in k, I ifeUee.'ii dly M Ca ills to is g>* ‘b*r than eirinr ot hi friends, and so mr a- sound judgment and \vi-e di-cre 1 in g *, he is safer to in trust with airhoj-itv than either. Mr. Carlisle is modest, however, almost ro (liffi fence, and naturally seeks some h* dy to Jean upon. There must be some thing in the law of opposites, or he would not have taken in Morrison. Mr Carlisle is patient, courteous and conservative; Morris m is impatient, brusque and radical. Carlisle entertains no hostile thought towards men ud. views clash with and own; Morris >n treats his opponents as Apaches, and would exterminate them on sight. Car lisle takes broad views on public ques tions; Morrison sees but the one idea that has lodgement in his own min i. Carlisle often hesitates between opin ions; Morrison never has but one. Yet the positive, confident, dogmatic Illinois man exerts wonderful influence over the accomplished Speaker. Morrison is in his 61st year, I ut looks easily ten years younger His dark hair and close cropped beard have only begun to show a silver tinge, and his frame is tough, wiry and elastic. Carlisle is ten years Morrison’s junior, but no one would ever think of it. He is tall, slender and smooth-shaven. His straggling brown hair is very thin, and he wil soon be conspicuously bald. Mr. Willis is the youngest of the trio by several years. Morrison is his senior by eighteen years, and he is eight years younger than Carlisle. He is small and slight iu stature, with a shiny bald head and a close-trimmed brown beard, sprin kled with gray. In his quiet manners, courteous and modest demeanor he re sembles Carlisle, and the two men are much alike in mental habits and political thinking. Bath men were school teach ers iu their younger days. Neither is a college graduate, but both are men of more scholarly' tastes than Morrison, who c ues li! ie for books. Willis is a grow ing mo in the House. His assignment to the ‘Chairmanship of the Riverain!
