awful fate of the impenitent siuner.
In the Congregational aud Presby
terian churches, also, the >ubject was
not shirked; for, beyond a doubt,
the doctrine of eternal reward or
punishment is necessary to the integ
rity to the evangelical system of the
ology and salvation.
But of late years the doctrine of
bell is smoothed over, left untaught,
or substantially or definitely* aban
doned by preachers who hold evan
gelical coinmissioiH. The 'eudeucy
of the Prote-Miit denomina ions is
now, unquestionably, toward Univer
salism. Tiie younger generation
under tl e influence of those com
munions are growing up without the
fear of hell, which ot o d caused the
hearts of their fatheis to quake and
tremble.
It is only in the Koiu-in Catholic
Chinch ih.t the doctrine of hell is
now preaclnd without equivocalior
and without any attempt to soften
its terrors La-t Sunday, for instance,
Rev. Mr. Clarke, of the Society ot
Jej>ti>, delivered a very impressive
sermon at St. Fr&ucis Xavier’s
Church on “Some of the Agnostic
Obj clions to Hell,** in which li
laid down in \v.*v positive terms the
Catholic teach'.ig concerning enter-
nsd punrihuiLni. The sermon wa-*

Father Ch.rk; described hell as a
state and not a place—a stale of re
bel. ioa against God, which is the
state of the agnostic, according to
Catholic teaching. -It is a lake ot

that the agony it causes will be a
thoiiMoid times more intense. The
gnawing agony of eternal remorse
and reproach will be far worse than
any bodily agony. The chief tor-
mout of heli is eternal separation
from God.*’
This is teaching, it will be seen,
which the simplest can understand.
There is no evasion about it. There
is no mitigation «*f the terrors of the
.Mihject, and no attempt is made to
reconcile the awful doctrine with the
now prevalent desire of men, theo
logians and others, to construct some
theory of the future lite which shall
admit of the .abandonment of hell
and yet preserve the consistency of
Chnsti'.n theology. The Roman
Catholic Church stands unflinching
ly by the old doctrine, whatever tbe
consequences It makes no compro
niises and no c inccssioiis, and both
its friends and its enemies understand
exactly 11s unalterable position.
Undoubtedly its firm adherence to
fixed principles, and the rigid con-
si-tency with which it sustains its
convictions and requirements as to
moral-and religion, are a great
source of strength to that Church.
When theologians begin to evade the
inevitable conclusions of their prem
ises, they are opening their gates to
the enemy who will sooner or later
utterly destroy their system.

St. Louis, November 3.— Robert
Lewi®, a small-pox patient at quar
antine who requested that a minister
ot the Christian church be sent to
hitn and to whom no minister asked
to go, passed over into eternity with
out. the consolation of having a min
ister. Though his death took place
at 9 o’clock in the morning the uews
did not reach tbe health department
until late in the afternoon. Mean
while Mr. Fitzwilliam made another
endeavor to have a minister visit
Lewis, aud sent a messenger to Rev.
Mr. Jackman. The reverend gentle
man responded with alacrity and
visited the city hall immediately.
BUNDLED UP IN AN OVERCOAT.
He had forgotten to fetch his over
coat with him, and Mr. Fitzwilliam
bundled him up in a big overcoat
anil gave him a pair of gloves. Mr.
Jackman, fully euipped for his long
ride, got into the health commission
er’s buggy and the dispensary boy
“Jim” got in with him and the
horse was started off south oil
Twelfth street bearing tbe minister
on iiis mission of mercy. Mr. Fitz-
williatn congratulated himself upon
his success and was feeling very
good over having procured the min
ister and was much surprised when
tits minister show-d up at the of
fice again in .an excited frame of
rnind. He had ridden about five
squares and then ordered the boy
to drive him back again, and the boy
did so.
“This is a case of smali-pox ?” said
the minister in an interrogatory
way.
“Yes, it’s a case of small-pox,’’
said Fritz, his anger beginning to rise
somewhat, “I told you that before
you started.’’
“Well, sir,’’ continued the preacher
of the gospel, “I cannot go down to
quarantine under the ci cum stances.’’
Well, by ,*’ retorted Fitz,
—John Duke, n negro prisoner from

Tea and Coffee at Night.
London Truth.
The use of tea at night is another
very mixed question. If your nerves
are fatigued, tea will make you sleep;
but if you are over-excited, it will
keep you restless and awake. As a
rule, most late workers are in the
habit of sipping tea. Many do not
find that it iniures their sleep, and I
suppose that most doctors would
ag-ee that, if this is the case, tea for
the student is tar bet ter than alcohol
in any shape. These remarks also
apply to ooffee. Black coffee in hot
countries seems to be the great pana
cea for all the woes of life. It appa
rently suits some late students and
business men better than tea in times
of pressure, and It is certainly supe
rior to any form of alcohol. A head
clerk in one of the largest offices in
Cbndon told me that during a fort-
night of commercial panic, when all
the employes were kept working
overtime, most of them took to stim
ulants. My friend said : “I foresaw
what was coining, and when the
crisis arrived i cut off all alcohol and
substituted coffee. At the end of the
fortnight most of my colleagues were
knocked up, but I was as fresh as a
bird.”
“I think if I bad been in the buggy,
you would have gone.”
“But, my dear sir, I would do any
thing in my-power for that man.’’
“Well, ho wants to see a minister.
He’s dying, and my idea is that a
minister should hustle under such
circumstances.’*
THE TELEPHONE ROUTE TO HEAVEN.
“My God, sir, I’d do anything iu
the world if I could help that man.
If I could only reach him by tele
phone. If I could only kneel down
and pray with him by telephone I’d
do it.** And. the minister walked
around the room just as the girl does
in the play when she receives tbe let
ter informing her of her lover’s mar
riage. Mr. Fitzwilliam turned up
his nose and went on with his work
as though he contemplated resigna
tion immediately. Mr. Jackman
went home.

! be*done. General. Cassius M. Clay
} is tbe genius who kindly comes to
jllie relief of the much-bothered De-
j ihocraey am! r-eules the whole busi-
i ness. VyV il> /not i ow remember
j how *i.m h he has been in the habit
I of a-sisiing to elect Democratic can-
j •tidal.**. m?r doe* it really matter.
| U.idor theidei that advice is better
; <bun example, w** take what he so
j kindly offers us as the next best thing
; to having his active assistance.
* Before proceeding to tell how it Is
to be dope, the General tells why it
•; must be done, ami how it is not to be
i done. I» is not because the Demo
crats ate better Hian the Republicans,
or because their principles are bet
ter, but “because a change of rulers
is a necessity in a Republic.” Now,
we might inform General Clay that
this has been the opinion ot Demo
crats tor twenty years or so, but then
it seemed to be a t ind of “necessity”
that rcfusrd u« be governed by the
demand-; of the occasion. The Re-
! pubiicati3 wouldn’t go,* however
j much “necessity” then* was prodding
i them in the back. Consequently*, if
they have hung on to the government
since 186S, notw thstaiidmg the fact
that a change of rulers is a “necessi
ty,” are we saf* in accepting that as a
valid reason why they should be re
quired to check their baggage and
depart in peace? We fear tlie Demo
crats will be forced to depend on
stronger ammunition than that
But about this “How Not to Do
It’’ bu-iness. lie positively affirms
that the Republicans will not go “by
attempting to make n Cutilederale
Democrat President.” Bless his inno
cent old heart, who ever thought of
such a thing? What- Confederate
Democrat has been mentioned in con
nection with this liigh honor! Trot
him out and let the conn ry see him!
So lie continues:
“The Republicans then, will never
go by ignoring such men as Chase,
Blair, Julieii, Trumbull and others.
The Republicans will never go when
such men of hraius a ml patriotism as
Greely, Tildeu, Butler and Rainier
are denounced. The Republicans
will never go while the Democratic
aspirants for power prefer self to
country.”
.There he got^ "nin ! Certainly the
P •rnucrals will be glad to have the
cordial co-operation of .such names as
he mentions. Title, some of them
h ive gone where Prescient making
is not supposed to be the popular
business, but if Gen. Clay Insists on
it we can conscribe a “medium” and
gel into communication with them.
At all events, we will promise not to
“denounce” any of them—if they’ll
fight on our side! -
But having kindly told us how it
is not to be done, let us look at the
converse side of ihe proposition :
‘•L.»t Bayard, and Hancock, and
Thurman, and Pendleton, and Hen
dricks, aud McDonald, and Holman,
and all other aspirants lo the Presi
dency leave their pretentions to the
Democratic Convention, and support
in good faith the nominee. Then the
Republicans will go.”
Very kind of the Republicans to
go so readily. Evidently, the Gen
eral has got them mixed up with
Capt. Sc-it’s fa mod-; coon, and ex
pect* them ‘o “stand not on the order
of going, but go at once,” when all
our aspirants have submitted their
‘•pretensions, to the contention. Is
he not aware that there is really
nothing very new in his suggestion?
Aspirants for the Presidency are in
the habit of leaving the question to a
Convention and supporting the nom
inee, whether in good faith or not,
would be heard to determine Not
.me of them but lias sense enough to
know that they can’t all be President
a! os-co, and we have se-n co reason
to suppose that any one of them is
iusane.euough to run for the office
without the endorsement of a conven
tion
But the real milk in General Clay’s
cocoauut is contained in the final sen
tences:
“Ex-President S J. Tilden having
declined the nomination, lloadh*,
up to every one of my ideas of suc-
cess| is the man. With genius, com
mon seuse, great experience in af
fairs, bold, individual and magnetic,
altogether of such stuff as horses are
made of, let lloadl v be our nominee
for President in 1884, and the Repub
licans will go.”
Now, we might ask: “What’s
Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba?”
What has Gov. Hoadly done to him.
or for him, that lie should select him
as the one man in all the country
able to lead the Democratic captives
up out of Egypt, and not only shows
them the land of promise, biu actual
ly put them in possession of it? We
have no reason or desire to make
war on his chosen leader. Hoadlv
isa m:i:i of talent, and* experience,
and character, and all that kind of
thing, but we are not so sure that a
man must necessarily be of “such
stuff as heroes are made of” in order
to make a good President. On the
other hand, there are still quite a
number of good and trite Democrats,
who have never wavered iu their al
legiance, and who arc entitled to
some consideration when a candidate
is to be selected.
However, we thank Gen Cassin9
M. Olay, of Kentucky, for his advice
and information.
A NEGROS’ WHITE WIFE.
Slnznlar Intatnatlon ot a Pretty
Girl for a Dark-Complexioned
IIousc-Breakcr.
Richmond, Va^ Oct. 28.—A young
and pretty girl of Towanda, Penn.,
was married to a young man named
J. L. Allen, who, it is claimed, is
partially colored and is said to be
long to Shenandoah cotiuiy, Ya. The
girl appeared in Lynchburg last week
and registered at the Warwick
House. She is a brunette, attractive
iu appearance aud said she was Miss
Hattie Hart, of Harper’s Ferry*. She
claimed that her mother was dead
and that she could not live with her
step-mother, and had come to Lynch-
oug to get a position of some kind.
About the time Miss Hart come to
Lynchburg, Alleu, who had been
about the place some time before, re
turned after a two weeks’ absence.
At one time be had served as a host
ler iu Towandu, Penn. At Lynch
burg be showed his friends the pho-
ograph of a white girl whom he
claimed .as his sweetheart. A few
days ago a detective from Pennsyl
vania went to Lynchburg aud there
showed a warrant for the arrest of
Allen, charged with housebreakiug
and marrying a white girl.
On Wednesday the detective ap
peared on the grouuds ot the agri
cultural fair with Miss Hart or
Mrs Allen and at Ford’s Opera
at night. Near them sat the alleg
ed husband of the pretty brunette.
On Friday night Allen went to the
Warwick House, was refused admit
tance to the parlor, but claimed Miss
Hart as iiis wife, and she reluctantly
went with him anu is now iu the
city'. They were married on the
bridge at Harper's Ferry, between
Maryland and Virginia, and there is
said to be no doubt of the fact that
Allen is a mulatto. The father of
the girl says he will kill Allen on
sight. Much excitement prevails.
Distinctions.
Ouo of our valued Western ex
changes produces the following,
which is to the point and full of sound
and truthful logic:
“Society is full of distinctions.
There are the distinctions of murder
ers, by which the rich and powerful
escape the gallows while the poor
are being hung higher than Gildroy’s
kite, the distinction of races with the
continued struggle for the survival
of the fiUest and the distinction be
tween the bribery of money and of
place by which this government is
conducted without any apprehension
that it is going to perish from the
earth. This latter distinction is a
delicate one and lo it our comments
will be confined. A candidate who
traffics in officers called honest, while
he who gives his haid-carned cash is
stigmatised as corrupt. In this dis
tinction the difference in point of
good citizenship seems in favor ot
the candidate who buys the vote
with his cash, rather than of him who
makes the purchase at the expense of
the country. The latter is certainly
more coutcmptible. The essence of
bribery is the illict motive, and as to
the exteut of the bribe, a merchanta
ble worker usually prefers an office
to only a moderately large amount
of oh&nge. In natioual and State
convention the, shrewd observer can
easily perceive the bribing business
conducted on a mammoth scale. The
convention is theoretically the as
sembly of party representatives to
compare views, agree upon sonio line
of policy laud nominate candidates to
carry that policy into effect Iu fact,
however, it is oftenest controlled by
the representatives of some ring
whose will does not accord with that
of the public. The simple country
voter reads the platform, solid with
auctioneer’s cant, and supposes that
(he agents of hia party have acted
honestly and uprightly; but if he
could . look behind the scenes he
might discover a disgusting amount
of office trading in the interest of the
successful candidates. We pass from
the party convention to the national
legislature and there find the humili
ating practice conducted openly. It
is contended, with what truth we are
uuprepared to say, that a few con
gressmen derive a profitable income
from the sale of offices, and the name
of one is mentioned prominently
who conducted his successful canvass
last fall on the strength of an advance
made him by a prominent office-
seeker. These, of course, are in the
nature of glaring instances, and are
but one step removed from the prac
tice ot securing government patron
age for “working ineu.” The admito
istration representative names the
po>tmasters, revenue collectors and
other officials of his district, custom
visiting the honor of appointmentjn
Uiin as if it were given him by law.
It is fair to presume that the voter in
«uch cases is as completely bought
by the em duinents of office as if
-olid cash had been paid him. The
State syndicates in congress by which
public patronage is bestowed should
be broken up. Their method of fill
ing positions at best is a dark one
and knavery borrows in the dark”
OVER THE STATE.
SI (tins up In Her Coffin.
The sensation of the day at Black
River Falls, Wis., is the return to life
of a young lady who to all appearances
had been dead three days. 3Iiss Lena
Rich.uann, the daughter of a wealthy
German, had been very sick for some
week's and died, as was supposed. Her
body wrs orepared for burial, when it
was suggested bv some one that the ap
pearance of the young laly’s face did
not indicate death; but on the fourth
day the funeral services were held.
Wui’e -.he ceremony was in .progress
Dr. Baxter, of Milwaukee, looting at
the *’ace of the supposed corpse, asked
thac the services be interrupted long
enough for him to attempt resuscita
tion. This was done, aud be succeeded
so well that the woman arose in her
coffin wHh a terrific shriek. Men
U’-aed pale with horror, women faint
ed. and it was a long time before any
thing like quiet was restored. She sr.ys
that while in a trance-like condition
she realized with uuspeakable agony
that she was being prepared for the
grave, but could not speak or maxe any*
motion.
Tbe National Debt.
During October more than $10,000,-
000 of the national debt was extinguish
ed, making the total reduction for the
fiscal year thns far almost $40,000,000.
The decrease for the month last year
was $14,000,000, and for the same por
tion of the fiscal year $60,000,000. It
will be seen that, although the decrease
is very large, it is not nearly so great
as that of last year. Still, the surplns
is growing, and the probability is that
the Secretary of the Treasury will con
tinue his heavy calls , for the option
bonds nntil next July. By that time
Congress may pass an act reducing or
repealing the internal revenue system,
which will wipe out a considerable
: reduction to a few millions per
Tbe GrowiPc Fame ot -tbe South.
The Memphis Appeal says: “lt»e
degiee of prosperity that exists at tbe
South, she aerivi'y, energy and enter
prise shat is manifested by its people,
anti the extent and variety of the re
sources as developed by tesearch a n d
indust!y, are attracting attention, not
only ?n the North in our own country,
but are Inducing European capitalists
to invest in our lands. The Sousa is
like one of those figures in some of
the children’s toys which lie in tne
box out of sight until the obstacle
that held it down is touched, then an
interior spri »g comes into action and
the figure starts up, exhibiting its full
dimensions. A labor system that was
a bar to advancement, and opposed
change, kept tbe energies and resour
ces of the South concealed. The ob
stacle was removed, the spring and
earnestness of the people allowed full
play, and up rises the South, its popu
lation, its soil, and its mines into fqll
display, and now it is everywhere at
tracting attention, winning good will,
and securing pi ogress anti piospe lty.
The whole change is a revelation to
the woild, and the South is obtaining
a degree of admiration and rega-d
never before accorded to it. Its Mile
to these sentiments has just been fine
ly vindicated by the New Orleans
Timet-Democrat. That paper, observing
with what remarkable speed the Sou’h
lias pushed forward its advantages
since the last census was taken, aud
how much its development had been
accelerated by the influences aroused
by the Atlanta Exposition, and by the
signal success that has attended its
cotton factories, has with great industry
collected authentic statistics, showing
the pi ogress that has been made since
the census-takers made their investi
gation. In sixty closely printed col
umns it has displayed facts and fig
ures obtained f *om the Governors and
other officials of Southern States, de
picting its present industrial condi
tion. This statement is attracting
wide attention.
—We were informed last night thaf
several turpentine plantations on the
B. & W. R. R. were bunting up, and
no chance To stop them.
—Mr. C. B, Ilenry. of Dauielsville,
Gru, h is a fine gold watch, which was

dier during the revolutionary war.
—A heavy frost all oyer flic State
has made its appearance, catching the
top crop of couon not open, thereby
catting short the fleecy staple to a
certain extent all over the State.
—Contributions are pouring in
from all over the State to the suffer
ers of the late Savannah fire. “He
that giveth to the poor ami unfortu
nate, leudeth to the Lord.”
—The Quitman Free Press pro
poses to give one year’s subscription
for a terrier “purp.” It certainly {
pats a high estimate on small canines,
or has a terrible mania for pets.
Which?
—It is rumored that Montezuma
will be imbibing artesian water in
leas than .a week. The well has been
sunk about 300 feet, and the augur
was rapidly going down at last ac
counts.
—A lady* by the name of Nancy
Alford has fallen heir to a fortune,
by the death of her father, who died
recently. A thorough search for her
has been made, but still her where
abouts is unknown.
—Treasurer Speer Is preparing, his
annual report of Georgia finances.
The old Eiitpiie State feels justly
proud of him, and feels at night,
when she draws the mantel of sleep
around her, that she will awake in
the early morn with all her cash
where it should be.
—Henry county* voted on prohibi
tion last week, and went 800 majori
ty for the same. Let the good work
go on antilour grand old State will
have rooted this terrible evil from
its limits and prosperity and happi
ness will be ours.

daughter of the late Muj. W. W.
Williamson, ot Miliedgcviile, U dead.
She was about thirty-five years old,
and was a true Christian lady, whose
works gave ample testimony of her
professions.
—A Georgia woman recently
dreamed that she saw her husband
kissing a neighbor’s wife. She awoke,
but before putting on her consider
ing cap she struck the unfortunate
man across the face, breaking his
nose. She is now doctoring the frac
tured protuberance, to the inteuse
satisfaction of the neighbor’s wife.
—The East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad has again been
the scene of a considerable accident,
this time at Eastman, Ga., caused
from a defective .rail, which caused
the whole traiu, exclusive of the en
gine, to juihp the track, making a
complete smash-up of cars and
freight Luckily no damage to per
sons was sustained.
—The Bainbridge Denucrat claims
that slanderous reports have been
circulated in regard to the health of
the city. They claim that thoy-
have health in abundance, and gives
as a proof of the same that they have
only had six adults to die in four
months, of the following causes:
One of consumption, three of old age,
and two of causes to which all ladies
are subject.
—Our section would be delighted
to have*a good, soaking rain, for we
are very dry, iudeed, having had no
rain of any consequence in six or
seven months, but would dislike to
be scared up like a few of the Haw-

Indianarolis, Ind., Nov. 6.—The
identity of Mary CnurchUl was fully es
tablished when her father, Colonel
Cnurehili; of St. Louis, arrived upon
t-ie scene, and there was a meeting be
tween the two, with no witnesses..
During conversations had to-day with
representatives of the press and of the
officials of the insane asylum she abso
lutely refused to touch upon the reasons
why she left home, but she vehemently
denied that she had any attachment of
the heart or was stage-struck. As the
result of lier meeting with her father
she consented to accompany him upon
a visit home, conditioned that she be
permitted to return and resume her em
ployment at tiie insane asylum. Su
perintendent Fletcher, since the fi*-st
acquaintance under the name of Fannie
Lockwood, lias been warmly interested
in her behalf. When Miss Churchill
presented herself at the asylum and was
assigned to duty in the ironig depart
ment she had with her a copy of the
“Life of Marie Antoinette,” and in her
leisure hours persued a severe course of
reading, prefering classical works, and
books in Grecian mythology to subjects
of easier digestion.* It was soon dis
covered that she was an adept in piano
practice, and these two characteristics
gave the Superintendent; the first sus
picions that in the person of Miss Lock-
wood lie was sheltering the long sought
Miss ohurchill. Her deportment was
chaste in every respect, and she appears
to have chosen her associates with scru
pulous care. This evening when asked
perhaps the fiftieth for time why she
lefi^home, she renlied that she did so in'
order to make her own living, and it
was her determination to continue self-
supporting in the future. During her
stay in the asylum she asked permis
sion to take lessons in elocution, but
was refused by the superintendent who
doubted the wisdom of the undertaking.
One of her associates reported to night
that she bad succeeded in saving $30 for
that purpose, aiid it is given out that
the only serious differences between
her and her mother were from this de
sire upon her part to become an elocu
tionist. It strikes the average reporter,
however, that she is excentric and with
a will of her own, and that once con
ceiving a notion to be self-supporting,
the mysterious disappearances with
which St. Louis abounds gave her the
cue to throw about herself the romance
of secrecy. With this love for mystery
she evidently had little thought for the
anguish of a mother or tbe grief of a
loving circle, for it is difficult to other
wise account for her seeming indiffer
ence until driven to bay by. the indig
nant eyes of the press. Now that Col.
Churchill has withdrawn all objections
to her motives for self-support, it is safe
to predict that she will soon be found
to be a tractable daughter, and ns wil
ling to stay at home as the average
fourteen-year-old boy who runs away,
but is glad to get back when he finds
no one is after him.
