To ine thou art so coy and cold;
To others, ever kind and near.

With yonder ruddy hue so fair,

Albany News and Advertiser: Mr.
H. T. Marsh, recorder of Albany Lodge
No. 11 A. O. TJ. W., received yesterday
from the Supreme Recorder a check for
two thousand dollars, for the benefit of
the brother of Dr. J. T. Holmes, deceas
ed. The beneficiary certificate was made
payable by Dr. Holmes to his legal he* rs.
ms brother, therefore, had to take out
letters of administration before the pay
ment could be made to him, hence the
delay in payment of about two months.
This is another illustration of the great
good that is being accomplished by
this worthy order. Tho Albany Lodge
numbers about seventy-five members.
It was established in July, 1878, and this
is the first member lost by death

one of the farms of W. B. Heys & lira.,
about four miles from town, was caught
in the rain and thoroughly drenched; ar
riving at home he built a roaring fire in
his cabin, laid down before It in order to
dry and fell asleep. His dreams were
visions of brightness and glory, and he
was suddenly awakened to find his domi
cile in flames over his head. He escaped
but that was all. His house and all the
furniture was burnt. The house was the
property of the Heys brothers and valued
at about $200.
Columbus Enquirer: Col. R. L. Mott

tion from Col. Molt the election was post
poned for the present, and will probably
take place in Jannary. The cause of tlie
postponement was on account of a full

Typhoid Fever in Carnesville.—
Athens Banner: There is a lamentable
and alarming state of affairs in Carnes-
ville, Franklin’county. Judge Erwin has
received a petition to adjourn the Superior
Court, which was to be held next week,
on account of the unprecedented preva
lence of typhoid fever in Carnesville.
The petition was signed by all the law
yers and doctors and many of the other
citizens of the place. They state that
both hotels are closed, the proprietor of
one of them being dead, and the other
down with the fever, as are also the fami
lies of the hotel keepers. Four of the
citizens of the place, living close to the
court house, are so low that it is feared
that the hoise and bustle incident to hold
ing court, would prove fatal to them. The
-last issue of the Carnesville Register
came out as a half sheet, on account of
the sickness of the editor and the printers.
This is a sad state of affairs, and calls for
earnest sympathy from those cf us who
are so fortunate as to be spared this afflic
tion. We sincerely hope that there may
soon be a change in affairs, and that our
neighboring community may soon regain
its wonted heallhfulness. Judge Er
win will go to Carnesville on Monday,
and formally postpone court till sometime
later.

Ibwintox Appeal: According to ap
pointment, Col. J. H. Blount, our distin

gathered to hear him was large and would
tiavebeen much larger but for the fact
that a steady rain had been falling all

regret being present, even though they
were compelled to face the rain to do so.
The speech was made in the court house,
however, aud once in town his audience
could hear him without standing in the
rain to do so. The speech was well worth
all the trouble and discomfort which it
cost to hear it. The speaker arrested the
-attention of his audience at the outset and
retained it to the end. His arraignment
of the Republican party, with all its crimes
and corruptions, was masterly, and espe
cially so was his exposure of the iniqui
ties and inequalities of the infamous tariff.

The racing feature of the programme of
the Georgia Stockmd Fair Association,
to be conducted at Oglethorpe Park dur

which commences Monday, October 18tb,
will be an attractive event to the lovers of

the outlook there will be a fine attendance
of some of toe very best runners now on
toe turf. By that date all of the engage

lieeu filled, and the runners can come
here and contest for the five thousand dol
lars in premiums offered for racing by the

tlie circuit, will end to-morrow, and then
tlie turfmen and their thoroughbreds can
come’torough to Altauta and remain at
the track until the meeting commences.
From all that we can learn nearly J00 fly

While being conducted across toe couiilry

of the monsters escaped from tbe main

of the country around. They were good

showed their love for fun' by uprooting

was brought to an end by tlie appearance
of their keeper, who brought them safely

Walker says: “The extraordinary gains
reported in certain counties of South
Carolina, and the State as a whole, over
the census of 1870, demanded, therefore,
careful investigation. It was notorious
that South Carolina had not profited ma
terially during toe ten years since 1870 by
immigration either from foreign countries
or from other States of the Union. With
slight advantage from immigration, it was
not possible that an old State could have
gained in population in the interval since
1870 to toe degree which is shown by a (
comparison of toe two censuses, and it foi- r
lows as a conclusion of the highest au
thority either that the census of 1870
was grossly defective in regard to the
whole of the State, or some considerable
parts thereof,'or else that toe^census of
I860 was fraudulent. The census of 1870
might have been defective in a high degree,
without fraudulent intention, through tlie
incompetence or negligence of the enumer
ators employed, but toe census of 1880
could not have exaggerated toe population
of toe State without absolute fraud, inas
much as toe census law requires toe names
of every person reported to be written at
length iu the schedules with a score of
particulars as regards age, sex, nativity,
occupation, etc.; so that any illegitimate
addition whatever to the schedule must be
of the nature Gf conscious and purposed
crime.”
Gen. Walker then gives bis reasons for
believing toe report of 1870 incorrect, at
tributing it mainly to defects of the law
under which i: was taken, namely that of
1850, and says: “There was, moreover,
lacking In 1870, throughout the whole re
gion, one very important clement of enu
meration—viz.: public interest in the re
sult anil the general intelligence likely to
bo shown by the canvass. The interest
generally manifested throughout the Uni
ted States in toe ninth census, was far be
low that which has been shown toe pres
ent year, but nowhere did iutercst in the
work of the census fall so low as in toe
States referred to, in which political ac
tivity under the constitution of the United
States had scarcely revived. No specific
allegation of fraud in the enumeration of
South Carolina has ever been made to this
office. The entire reason for impeach
ing the integrity of too recent census
was found in the reported gain of popula
tion between 1870 and 1880. The result
of the investigation places, beyond possi
ble question by any fair-minded man, the
entire fault upon the census of 1870. |

know of no reason, therefore, why any
further charges should be made against
the enumeration recently brought to a
conclusion by the commissioner and
sworu officer of the government in South
Carolina. The presumption which exist
ed against that work has been csmpletely
overthrown and a strong counterpresump
tion has been created by the verification
upon the ground of the schedules of lu-
habitants in the case of eighteen enumer
ation districts successively taken for spe
cial investigation, on account of their ex
ceptionally questionable character.
General Walker closes with a consider
ation of toe objection urged against the
reasonableness of toe result of toe census
of 1880, derived from a comparison ot the
ratio of increase of population in South
Carolina between the years 1820 and
18(10 and that between 1800 and 1SS0. Af
ter stating that tbe population of the State
increased 41 per cent, during the first-
mentioned period of forty years, and 41
per cent., or the same percentage, between
18G0 aud 18S0, a period of only twenty
years, bo says: “Such comparison,
however, is not fair without reference to
certain general causes operating during
the two periods. Front 1820 to I860,
South Carolina was a beehive from which
swarms were continually going forth to
populate newer cotton growing States of
the Southwest. Between 1820 and 1SC0
immense tracts of fertile lands belonging
to the Creeks and Cherokecs in Georgia
were ceded to the United States, and were
largely occupied by South Carolinians. In
a later period, an active emigration of
whites from South Carolina sprang up,
and was maintained iu favor of Alabama,
Mississippi and Ixiuisiaua, while South
Carolina negroes wcic sold in great num
bers to cultivate the cotton, rice and sugar
fields of those States. Still later, the an
nexation of Texas made further drafts
upon the population of South Carolina.
With reference to emigration from the
State between the years 1800 and 1880,
toe report concludes as follows: “We do
not know fully what effect toe destruction
of slavery and tlie vast change resulting
in tlie conditions of labor have
produced upon the emigrating propensi
ties of tbe people of South Carolina, but
we do know that negroes are no longer
aakl South to cultivate toe lauds qf toe
Mazoo, Red river and Brazos, and- it is
reasonable to suppose that concurring
causes may have checked in an equal de
gree the outward movement of tbe white
population. A comparison of the free
natives of South Carolina, living in other
States in 18(10 with toe white natives of
South Carolina living iu such States iu
1870 shows the numbers to have been re
spectively 193,389 and 148,574, a reduc
tion of 47,600 in toe ten yearn Detween
1800 aud 1870.”

The Obelisk.
New York, October 9.—The ceremony
of laying the corner stone of the obelisk at
Central Park this morning was witnessed
by thousands of spectators. The chief fea
ture was tlie Masonic procession, which
formed in frout of tbe temple on Sixth
avenue. In the lmo were all the coin-
mauderies of Knights Templar in this
city, and commanderics from Jersey City
and Newark, and the Masonic lodges of
New York, Kings, Queens and Rich
mond counties. "Neither staves nor ban
ners were carried by the lodges. The
officers and past-masters wore jewels and
the marshals carried batons, while the
members were dressed in dark clothing,
high black hats, white gloves and aprons.
The procession was reviewed by Grand
Master Jesse B. Anthony and officers of
the Graud Lodge, Apollo Commandery
acting as escort. When the head of tho
column reached the entrance of the. park
at Eighty-second street it halted, with
open ranks faciog inward. The Grand
Lodge and Anglo Saxon Lodge passed be
tween toe lines and proceeded to tbe site
of tlie obelisk escorted by the
Grand Marshal and staff Following
the Grand Lodge came the District Dep
uty Grand Master, and after them the
roasters and wardens of toe lodges. The
marshals then assumed command of their
lodges, aud the ranks closed. The col
umn, beginning at toe head, massed
around the base of the obelisk. The
Grand Master and grand officers occupied
the platform, supported by the masters
and wardens of lodges. The Knights
Templar were massed on toe west side,
and the lodges on the north and east side,
leaving the south side for visitors. The
stone was then placed in position by toe
Grand Master, with ceremonies accord
ing to tlie Masonic ritual.
The Observance of the Sabbath.
The article on the above subject by
Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon, in tbe North
American Review, is a masterly vindica
tion of the duty of observing toe Sabbath'
as a day of rest and religious service, anil
shows the folly -and sin of devoting it
cither to labor or revelry and dissipation.-
It cites the fact that in Us secular aspect
the Sabbath, that is, the measurement of
time by tbe week, each period of
six days separated from the next by a day
of rest from ordinary labor, is a social in
stitution oi prehistoric origin; aud that
the Christian Sabbath is characteristic of
alt the nations in the foremost rank of
civilization. When China, the writer
says, sliall have learned to recognize toe
Christian Sabbatb, and when Sunday in
stead of Friday shall be toe Sabbath
in Turkey and Egypt, then those
countries shall have advanced from
the semi-civilized to the civilized class.
He argues with great force that the Sab
bath, whatever its origin or authority, is
the workingman’s day of rest; that rest is
not gloom nor revelry, but a day forborne
enjoyment, bringing with it opportunity
for thought and conference; that a Sab
bath-keeping people will be a thoughtful
people, and such thoughtfulness is manli
ness; that a Sabbath-keeping people are
greater in peace and in war for toe char
acter which its tranquil aud thoughtful
Sabbaths have impressed upon it; that
even from pre-hisloric times a religious
element must have entered into the con
ception of a day of rest; that earlier than
synagogue or temple or tabernacle, tbe
resting on the appointed day was
itself a religious service, and
that this naturally led to prayer and other
religious services. And he emphasizes
the importance of guarding against the
obviously certain tendencies which are
now at work against the preservation of
the Christian Sabbath. He insists that
while the jurisdiction of tlie State docs not
extend to the religious question, yet it
has the right to recognize the weekly rest
as beneficial to the commonwealth, and
may provide by law and by the enforce
ment of law, that every man shall have
the privilege of that rest, and may protect
public worship, though he would leave to
individuals the religious duties and. en
joyments incident to it, whieh he de
scribes in a beautiful and glowing perora
tion.

Kino Qumbekt has recently pajd a
visit to Florence for the purpose, more
than anything else, of doing something to
aid too Florentines. When Florence was
made the capital of the Italian kingdom,
the people of that city, in their new-found
importance, indulged in all manner of
municipal expenses. Their impression
was that their city would grow rapidly in
size and wealth, and that toe burdens as
sumed could be easily borne. Bat it turn
ed out otherwise. When the capital was
removed to Rome, as befog historically i
and geographically the fittest place, the
Florentines were left weighed down with
a heavy load of municipal indebtedness.
As some sort of compensation, the late King
agreed to have the facade of the cathedral
which lias been in an unfinished condition,
for centuries, completed. This work, laid
out by liis father, King Humbert has 'now-
undertaken. He lias headed a subscrip
tion paper, which has been signed by
wealthy men all over Italy. The sculp-,
tors who ara to make the statues that are
to line toe portico and fill the niches have
volunteered their services, and a very
large amount of mosaic work is to be
given at merely the cost of the material
and common labor. Even toe working
men needed have agreed to labor at a
lower rate, and by these various contribu
tions the church- which Brunelleschi de
signed will be completed.
