GENERAL NEWS. General Summary of the News of the Week Gathered from Every Quarter. The prisoners at Sing Sing, N. Y., have the small pox among them. Santa Cruz, Col., has had a $225, 000 fire. 24 buildings were burned. Insurance $100,000. The jury in the case of the State vs. Ratliff, who killed Jackson at Kosius ko, Miss,, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The residence of August Krinkie, near Jonesville, Wis., was burned and three of his daughters perished in the (lames. The Pollard-Breckin ridge case re¬ sulted in a verdict of $15,000 in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant for breach of promise. OneofCoxey’s recruits has been identified as t/ie man who murdered Engineer James Paddock in the Con nellsyille riot, and has been arrested. The surrender of Mello, the head of the Brazilian insurrection, has been announced. But there is usually some uncertainty about Brazilian war news. Jack Oates, a freight conductor, was shot through the arm by Will Jones, a gambler, at Little Rock, Ark. They fell out over a game of craps. Some young men were shooting in the woods, near Huntington, Teun., to frighten Will Harper. A ball from one of their guns struck and kilied him. The supreme court of South Caro¬ lina, Justice Pope dissenting, has de¬ cided that the dispensary law of that state is unconstitutional, because it creates a monopoly. The president has issued a procla¬ mation gi anting the site of old Fort Bliss cemetery, a tract of twenty acres, to the city of El Paso, Tex,, for a public park. The sales of liqour by the South Carolina dispensaries, for the quarter ending Feb , 1st were 249,185.75. The net profits, to be divided among the counties, were $41,163 43. A Miss Whitehurst, near Burnsville, Miss., a girl of 16, was burned to death, anti her mother seriously burn¬ ed in trying to save her. They had been fighting a fire that had broken out in a field. It is announced that the miners ol the lower Youghiogheny, Pa., will join in the general strike of April 21, oivlerered by the united mine workers. This means that 10,000 men in that district will quit work. 700 Hungarians, Italians and Slavs have recently been transported from the Lawrenceville district, Pa., to Texas, by an agent of Texas cotton planters, who, it is said, find them better workers than negroes. The venerable ex-senator Joseph K. Brown, who was Georgia’s war-gov¬ ernor, oelobiaied his seventy-third birth day on the loth hist., at. home in Atlanta, Ga, All his children and grand-children were presest on the occasion. At Rushsylvania, near Bellfountain, Ohio, Seymour Newiand, a negro eherged with a brutal assault on an aged white woman, was take from the sheriff and hanged by a mob. Unman nature seems to be pretty much the same in Ohio as in more southern latitudes. The Great Northern & Montana Cen¬ tral railways, from the Red river of the north to Spoliane, Wash., are idle. A general strike is on. The president and general manager have published a card in which they say that the strike was precipitated by a false rumor that they were arranging to displace their employes with non-union men, and that it was ordered without notice to the railroad authorities. The supreme court of Kansas has decided that the action of Gov. Waite, in removing two members of the po- ’ lice board of Denver and appointing two others to take their places, was legal. It will he remembered that the resistance of the two deposed members, Martin and Orr, came very hear between precipitating a conflict of arms the state militia and the sher¬ iff’s posse, who sustained the rebel¬ lious members. At Meridian, Miss., Bob Belli and Dudley Scott, two voung men who were reared in the city were detected in the act of setting tire to a school house, and arrested. before, There all had thought been five fires on the day to be incendiary. Great excitement prevailed, audit was with much dif¬ ficulty.that the people Were restrained by tho more prudent among them from lynching the prisoners. In making the arrrst Mr. Wm. T. Sehamber, who had furnished the in formation that led to it, was accident ally shot by Detective Horn, who mis took him for one of the firebugs. His wounds, which are in the arm and hack, are not thought to be serious, A late dispatch from Montevideo, announcing l lie defeat of the Brazil inn insurgents at Rio Grand do Sul, .niiei- siiys ihey; lq»t -luff or 500 men. An account pat the loss at 350, and the government loss at 100. De Meiio embarked wiili the remainder of his forces. Gen. Salgada, having a dis¬ agreement with Mello, landed on Uru¬ guayan territory, with 400 unarmed, fick and wounded men, and tendered submission to Uruguayan authorities. Dc Melio remained on the insurgent ship Kepublica. This may be regard¬ ed as the tinal collapse of the insur¬ rection. Some Polish laborers employed to lay pipe by the water board of De • •oil, Mich., went on a strike. An attempt was made to put oilier men at the work, when the Poles raised a mob of about 500 and threatened to kill the first man who dared attempt to go to work. Four policemen, sworn as deputies, were present to protect the workmen. They were quickly overpowered. The sheriff was summoned and came with a half dozen deputies. A light was brought on by the strikers assaulting Foreman Cathrey of the workmen, with shovels and picks and fatally wounding him. Two of the strikers were kilied in the light and fifteen wounded. Slierift Collins was struck from behind with a long handled shovel, a corner of which pierced his skull. lie was hit over the head again and again, and will nrobablv die from the injuries. Slays ilie Dispoilcr of his Child. Capt. R. A. Montgomery and Ls Fayette Mullendore are old an highly respected citizens of Sevier county Teun. Montgomery has a charming daughter, Mullendore a son. These two n Johu and Mary were first friends, then lovers. Recently one night tha daughter disclosed to her father the fact that she was about to become s mother. Next morning Montgomery, armed with a shot gun, fouud t tha young man and got his promises to marry the girl. They then went to the house of Mullendore, to whom Montgomery stated the facts; but iu h ‘19 father’s presence young Mulieu dore denied that he had promise to make reparation by marrying the girl. Weereupon, without mire words Capt. Montgomery leveled his gun, and fired. The elder Mullendore had siezed the muzzle of the gun as it came down and his hand was literally torn to peices. Young Mullendore received the load of buckshot in his side and was mortally wounded. Montgomery went immediately and surrendered to the sheriff. A Murderous Villain. A special from Knoxville, Tenn., says: An attempt was made a few nights ago to assassinate J. C. Ander¬ son while no was lying in bed at his home near Rockford. Two shots were fired by some one who entered the house through the dining room window. One of the bullets took ef feet in Anderson’s liip. The assassin followed up his at tempt at murder by setting fire to ihe large barns on the Anderson planta tions, both of which were entirely consumed, together with live mules, two horses, eleven cattle, forty loads of hay and 600 sacks of corn. The next morning a young man named T, L* bhoemaker was captured Maysvilio. ,, ... Circumstantial , evi deuce is strong against him, although lie denies his guilt. Shoemaker wat recently in the employ of Auderson, but had been discharged. De lUallo'M Mauship .Sunk. The Brazilian legation at Washing¬ ton has received dispatches announc¬ ing the sinking of the Aquidaban, of the insurrectionary fleet, in engage¬ ment with Brazilian torpedo boats ofi San Catharina. The Aquidaban was formerly the flagship of Admiral Da Mailo. A press dispatch from Buenos Avrea says: The insurgent licet, consisting of the Kepublica, Meteora Iris, Urano Esperanza, under command of Ad niiral Mello, arrived recently'and anch¬ ored outside tho harbor. The vessels are all short of provisions. The crews of the insurgent ship* will be trans¬ ferred to the quarantine station on the 17th, and tiie authorities of the Ar¬ gentine Republic will turn the ships over to Senhor Asis Brazil, the Brazil¬ ian minister here. Valuable Di.-icovery. A tremendous phosphate deposit has been discovered in Bradley county, Tennessee, about, twenty miles above Chattanooga. The vein so far as known is 16 feet wide and about 9 miles long, the depth not having been ascertained. The owners of the property have known of this deposit ever since the war, but until a week ago never knew what the stiango substance was. They have often tried to burn it for coal. There is considerable excitement over the discovery. The Pistol Gets in Its Usual Work, It has been said that ton cases of unintentional injury result from the possession and handling of pistols, to one case of successfuj defense against injury. The following is a case in point: While Mrs. Peterie, daughter of M. Kimbro of Clarke couuty, was clean ing out a secretary, a pistol which had been placed there, fell to the floor. One of the cartridges oxploded and the ball entering at the left nip - pie, passed through her body. At tending physicians regard the wound *« mortal. AT THE CAPITOL.

Lesson Text: “Joseph Forgiving His Brethren,” Gen. xlv., 1-15— Golden Text: Luke xvll ., a— Commentary. 1. “There stood no man with him while Joseph made himself knowntohisbret ren. The seven years ot famine had begun, ana not only all Egypt, but all countries, came to Joseph to buy corn (xli., 56, 57). Ten ot Joseph's brethren, at once recognized by him. tint not he bv them, had come for corn. and nine had gone home with their sacks full and their money in their sacks, with m struetions to bring their youngest brother they came again.

Consider the seven weep ings of Joseph in chapters xlii.. 24 ; xliii, 30 j xlv., 2. 14 ; xlvi.. 29 : 1.. 1. 17. 8. “And Joseph said unto his brethren, t am Joseph. Doth my father yet live?” Is It any wonder that they were troubled au<i could not answer? How vividly would come t 0 m i n d the events of twenty years before as they looked upon the face of him whose piti¬ ful cries ami tears they would not regard, and now he has already been returning then? good for eril while at the same time leading them to repentance. It must be all true, for who but Joseph could know their ages so as N^-Yml Lfo^ph 'said unto his brethren. Come near to me, I pray you. Amitheycoms near. And he said. I am Joseoh. your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.” We can imagine them dumb with astonishment until he calls them near to him and repeats the astounding statement with the additional al¬ lusion to their guilt. It is all true, and after so long a time their sin has found them out fa e not grieved norangry witll your3( ,| ves that ye sold me hither, for God did send me before you to preserve life.” He maketh the wrath of man to praise Him (Ps. lxxvi.. 10), and Joseph had grace see, not the hatred of his brethren, but the guiding hand of God. It is possible and for us to see God in everything and believe rejoice in Rom. viii.. 23, 29. 6. “For these two years hath the famine been in the land, and yet there are five years, iu the which, there shall neither be earing nor harvest.” As truly as there had been believed God—he had no other means ef knowing. “Abraham believed God.” Let our souls say. “I believe God’ (Jas. ii.,23; Ac ? S ^nd God sent me before you to pre gerveyou a posterity in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.” How suggestive it all is of Jesus hated, theoniy dettVerer. 'and ere long now He will say to the nation of Israel, “I am Jesus, your brother, whom ye crucified.” They shall see Him and mourn bitterly and welcome Him (ssech. xti.. 10; xlii., 1). Many individual Jews are now seeing and receiving Him by “itwas’not^vou^hat sent me hith „ r> but God » Jose p h gives God all the glory for makinghima fatherto Pharaoh and ruler over all Egypt. He has nothing bl1t forgiveness for his brethren and praises f or Goc ] Jesus told Pilate that he could have no power against Him except it were given him by God (John xix., 11. We may a11 believe that nothing can come to us with d “Haste ye and go up to my father and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph. God hath made me lord of alt Egypt. Como down unto me ; tarry not.” He thinks of his poQr nM fathel . wonderlns daybydayif little Benjamin will ever return to him. dreaming that Benjamin wilt come all right and Joseph too. And he longs to have his father see and share his glory.
