THE STATE W. C T. U. CONVENTION.
*'Mamma, did you thank God for just
coffee and rolls?” asked a little one. “Yes,
Nellie.” “Umph! I wouldn’t have bothered
Him just for that.”
Sitting on his mother’s lap one summer
evening watching the play of lightning, a
little 3-year-old boy asked: “Mamma, is
God striking matchefi in the sky?”
“Two inestimable advantages,’’said Emer
son, “Christianity has given us: firs t, the Sab
bath the jubilee of the whole world; whose
light dawns welcome alike into the closet of
the philosopher, into tho garret of toil, and
into piison colls, and everywhere sug
gests, even to the vile, the dignity of spir
itnal being. And secondly, the institution
of preaching."
“I have always considered,” says Car
dinal Newman, “that obedience, even to an
erring conscience, was the way to gain light ;
and that it mattered not where a man began,
so that he began on what came to band and
in faith; and tu&t anything might become a
divine method of truth; that to tho pure all
things are pure and have a self-correcting
virtue and u power of germinating.”
Clergymen, of course, seldom make scrip
iural errors. A highly cultured Maine pas
tor one morning announced that his text
might found in the gospel according to Acts,
but that was mere inadvertence. Rut an
occasional slip is made in regard to matters
of profane history. It was another Maine
reverend who brought a glowing period to
a close by a startling statement that “thus
Socrates drank the fatal wormword.”
A Philadelphia paper says that the
churches of that city pay less foi music than
do any others in the principal cities of the
United Htates. It is estimated that nearly
$200,000 is expended annually upon the
choirs of the 602 churches of Philadelphia,
which would show a cost for each choir of
about $300 a year. The paper assorts, how
ever, that the majority of the choirs do not
cost even that amount, and that tho cases
are very rare where organists are paid $1,000
or over, and solo-singers more th in $500 or
$G00.
Now York has 500 churches, divided as
follows: Bantist, 48; Congregational, 9;
Friends, 4; .Jews, 31; Lutheran, 24; Metho
dist Episcopal, 61; African Methodist, H;
Moravian, 2; Presbyterian, 69; United Pres
byterian, 7; Reformed Presbyterian, 5; Pro
testant Episcopal, 81; Reformed Episcopal,
2; Reformed (Dutch), 27; Homan Catholic,
61; Union, 15; Unitarian, 3: Universalist,
4; miscellaneous, 39. A careful count of
tho minutes of the Protestant churches
hhowa that on an average each ehnrch has
:«)0 communicants, which would givo a to
tal of 83,000 communicants or church mem
bers, and this would fairly represent a pop
nlation of 300,000 or 400,000 persons.
In Louisville, Ky., sevoral now Episcopal
missions have been opened for the colored
people. Tho need of such missions in Mis-
sisMippi is urgently for there, na else
where, tho negroes have a fashion of allow
ing the vociferous element in their re igion
to run riot to the great disadvantage of de
votion and common souse, lu Canton,
Mini*., there were threo large congregations
of colored people. Two of these* Congrega
tions fell into such habits of ranting and
■boating that they lost nearly all their pow
er and have dwindled to mere handfuls of
noisy enthusiasts. This is an instance of
innnv similar operations throughout the
South, Tho Southern darky needs the be
neficent agency of missionary effort quit,,
as much as does fits apparently less favored
brother on tho hanks of tho Congo.
The attempts at uniting on a revision of
the Protestant Episcopal prayer book do not
seem likely to bo attended with success.
The action tuken by the committee of tho
Diocese of Long Island is a fair sample of
the drift of opinion elsewhere throughout
tho church. That committee, having hud
the subject under consideration for nearly
s year, will adversely report to the conven
tion which is soon to he held, lu tho reso
lutions which tins committee have adopted
two leading iwwons are given. First, that
although much learning aud labor have been
devoted to th« work of revision, yot th<
work is incomplete aud nnsatifactory,
second, that there arc grave doubts an to
whether tho constitutional requirements
have been compiled with in regard to official
notice to dioceses. Either one of these
reasons is euough to kill the proposed re
vision. The work, if continued at all, will
Slave to he done over from the beginning.
Many of til* chunk' s which hiivo lieMi aug-
coated mew to the people who hove been
brought up ou the pruyrr hook to l>e umm-
. port-lot ami trittm-. The waiter will come
up for report awl tlisimmion at the general
convention of the ProUwtout Kpiwopiil
Church, which meet* iu Chicago in May. A
lively time way he expected in the exchange
of opinion* between thorn who favor re-
viaion and those who are opposed to it.
Id England the queeUou of free churches
ia vigorously agitated. Xlie dritt of public
sentiment is largely in favor of having the
aeats free to all who will euter. The llishop
of Liverpool su'ys that if the Church of Eng
land intend* to he the church of the people
she must look nfter those who are nominally
her children, aud care for their soul*. He
would make every church a free church.
He aces hut one difficulty iu the way of
this, and that is the dilueulty which lias
proved the great obstacle, both iu KugLiud
and in this country that it, how to pro
vide for the salary ot the clergyman and for
the other expenses of the church. The
theory of voluntary contribution* j* a very
bountiful one, but there are so ruanv peo
ple who are willing to let others do the vol
untary giving that nothing short of a tixed
pew rental appears to a (lord a reliable in
come for the church. The problem a* to
how ttie public are to Ire made to go to
church i* by no means salved when the
doors are thrown freely open. It is not tb<
price of the pew rent that keep* must non
church-goer* away, hut rather a state of
apathy os tc church privileges. Then- are
nowaday* so many attraction* on Sunday
other thau those which the churches oiler
that some inducements must he altered to
compete with these. The number of peo
ple who attend church because they con
sider it their lmunden duty to do *o is
every year becoming less and less.
Tea Adulteration.

When the 10:45 train from Atlanta rolled
under the Union depot last night, Mr. John
Meek*, ft resident of Macon, appeared at
the ticket office and inquired of Mr. Joe
Hoge if the Atlanta train was in. On being
fold that it had just come in, Mr. Meek*
walked hurriedly away in the direction of
the train. Boon afterward nine pistol allots
rang out ou tho air, the sounds proceeding
from the lower end of the depot. While
several gentlemen in the depot were hur
rying to the Hcene, u man came in and
coolv walked through tho depot and reach
ed the ticket office just as Mr. Hoge cloned
i*. He then approached Conductor Cub-
bedge, and afier a hurried conversation were
sei-u to get aboard the train which shortly
aftrrward pulled out and proceeded oniiB
»v to Savannah.
I'he police heard the shots and ran to the
scene. Officer Bennett Jones was the first
to reach tho lower end of the shed, and then
lie saw a man crossing Fifth street with a
pistol in his hand. The officer called upon
him to halt, which he did, aud said:
“Take me to a doctor; I'm hit.”
The man proved to be Mr. Meeks. His
pistol was taken and the officer saw that he
was limping. Ho was taken to Fourth
street, and as he walked he left a trail of
blood on t he street. By this time other
officers arrived, and the wounded man was
carried to the Kennesaw Restaurant, where
he was placed on a counter and made as
comfortable as possible until the arrival of
Dr. Mettsner, who wits sent for.
Officer Jones, on looking fur the other
party to tho shooting, was told that ho was
outside the depot, standing near a pile of
lumber. The officers found a voung man
standing there, os was told, with a valise in
hand. He was arrested and carried
the barracks. No weapon was
found on his person, and
soon became evident to the officers that lie
lmd no connection with the shooting,
the arrival of Lieutenant Wood, who
on duty, tho man was released.
When Dr. Mettauer reached Meeks a
nminaUun was made and tho wound
found to be iu the left thigh. From the
quantity of blood lost it was thought by Dr.
Mettauer that an artery had been severed.
Whisky was freely administered, and Micks
was soon in such a condition that he was
unable to give any account of the affair.
Now and then ho would ask who shot him,
and then ho would complain of his pistol
having failed to do its duty.
A large crowd collected uhout the depot
and the question was asked a hundred times
or more, “Who shot him?” No one seemed
pOf-BC'Rscd of the knowledge until it began
to be whispered that a man named Joe
Brandon from Atlanta was the party. It
was said that Brandon on alighting from
the train went out at the lower end of the
depot and there met Meeks, when tho tiring
instantly began, hut what parsed between
them, or if anything was said at all, does
not seem to be known. The man
who walked through the depot answered to
the description of Brandon, and the police
are so confident that he is the man that
they telegraphed to Savaunuh to liuvo him
arrested should he arrive in that city. The
telegram reached its destination.
Meeks is a man about town and has been
living in Macon about a year. He is usually
a very quiet man, aud this is his first diffi
culty in Macon.
At twelve o’clock I16 was removed to Ids
boarding housn, corner Third and Pino
streets, and at tha hour of writing, 1:30
o’clock, wm rusting easily. He stated to
those who carried him that lie did not know
who his assailant was, nor did ho waut him
arrested if found.

COMPLIMENTARY COERCION.
lie President’* Letter Forcing Senator
Jnckaou on the Circuit flench.
Washington, April 14.—President Cleve
land on Sunday last sent the following let
ter to Senutor Jackson in regard to his ap
pointment ns judge of the sixth circuit, to
succeed the late -Judge Baxter:
“My Dear Sir: The applications on be
half of sc many people to fill the place made
vacant by Judge Baxter’s death come in so
fast that the matter promises to degenerate
into a most unseemly scramble* To avoid
this I have determined to send the name of
Judge Baxter’s successor to the Senate to
morrow, and in the interest of this most
important service and in a very clear con
ception of my duty in the matter, I now
write to say to you, you must abandon all
scruples that you entertain and permit me
to nominate you to the vacant place.
Your reluctance to consent to this nom
ination, growing out of consideiation
for other people in your State who
desire the place, does you great credit and
increases my estimate of your value, but
you have no right to attempt to control my
action or limit my selection in this way,
and I am quite williug that all other aspir
ants and their friends should know that
your nomination is my act and the result
of a conviction of what ought to bo done,
from which I could not be moved by your
arguments or by your presentation of" the
claims of any other man. Fully expecting
that you will not be insubordinate in the
face of a plain duly, I aui, yours truly,
“GnovKn Cleveland.”

SV.NT Ul» FOR FIVE YEARS.
A SIGNIFICANT STRAW,
How i
The Tv.i.kouaph had an interesting talk
yesterday with Professor Williams of the
Georgia Academy for tho Blind.
Broom coin eutcia largely into the mate
rial used in the workshops of the busy hive
over which l’roreesor Williams presides.
The bro-Jins made then*, iih well os else
where, are made ot the straw of broom corn
grown in tho West mid Northwest; but last
year for some reason the crop was short.
The scarcity run up the price until it is
now three tuues as much ns formerly. It
is quoted at from 9 cents to 15 cents per
pound, according to grade. It was the
scarcity and the high price that prompted
the professor to say that the growing of
broom corn on our lands would be safer
and more profitable than anything that could
he grown ou tlu-ni.
“-lust think of it,’ ’ said the professor en-
thuHinHtically, “an acre of land that will
grow ten bushels of corn will make five
hundred pounds of broom corn. Putting
this at six cents per pound and we have
thirty dollars per acre to say nothing of the
seeds which are worth iih much as oats and
just as desirable for feed. A crop is ready
in ten weeks from the time of planting, and
you can make two crops in a season. Here
is sixty dollars from an acre of land that re
quires* no cultivation. Now, I have tried it
and know w hat can lie done with it. There
is a market for every pound grown, .and if
there be climatic hindrance* to its growth
in the colder countries, you will see what a
safe crop it would he down here. I know
a man in Oglethorpe County who will plant
a large crop this season.”
This statement from one so reliable and
so well informed as Professor Williams,
should set our farmers to thinking. Per-
haps, next year, there will he u number of
small patches of broom corn throughout
Georgia. There is a ready market for all of it.
A NOONDAY N.lP
On a IUIIroad Track Lose* a Negro Man
HU Life.
Coroner Ilodnctt yesterday held an in
quest ov» r tlu* frightfully mangled remains
of a negro named Colmbus Fathers, who
was killed by a freight train ou the L ist
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad,
about a mile below Stiatton's brickyard.
The evidence showed that Engineer Moore
saw lyilig «»u the truck o\t*r a trestle two
negro men, one of whom seemed to the
engineer to be the pile of coats of a number
of section hands at w ork a short distance
down the track. He w histled down brakes
and one ot the negroes. Allen Bnvke, junitk-d
from the track into the lake below. The
other negro, Fathers, jumped to the middle
of the truck, like one frightened, ami iu au
itstant his body was cut in twain. The re
mains were picked up, placed in a box car
and brought to towu. Cormier Hodnett was
notified and an inquest Wits held as state-1.
The verdict of the jury was that the deceased
came to his death by being run over by u
train ou the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road, and that it was no fault of
the ml.
Th** unfortunate, negro belonged iu Put-

Little Dog Clave Ills Matter Away
—A Black Rascal.
Atthe tetm of Crawford Superior Court
just ended, John Fieklen was sent to the
penitentiary for live years for placing an
obstruction on a railroad track.
Fieklen is a negro boy fifteen years old.
Some time in tlu* latter part of last Decem
ber an eugiucerou a passenger train leaving
Fort Valley discovered a cross-tie lying
across the track. By quick work he man
aged to stop the train in time to prevent a
wreck. Both engineer and fireman left the
eugiue ami made a search for the scoundrel.
It had been raining and they saw that the tie
had been taken from a pile of them near
the track, aud tho dry spot showed that it
had been recently removed. Satisfied that
the fiend was not far off, and was probably
looking on, they made a hurried search in
the woods and soon saw a little dog running
about near a clump of small trees. The ac
tions of t|ie dog were mysterious, and bv
following him up they found Fieklen hid
den among the trees. They also discovered
tracks loading from the pile of ties to the
thicket und also to tho railroad. Fieklen
was accordingly taken in tow and carried to
Fort Valley where he was jailed to await
trial. Ho stoutly denied having committed
the deed.

There is a rumor in Paris that the fringe
on the forehead is to be brushed back and
that tbe coiffure a lu chinoise is to be

possible that her votaries will choose the
manner of hair dressing which beat suits
the particular style of each.
