In January, 1881, he entered upon Ids work as Secretary of the Coiigicgationai Sunday School and Publishing Society. For several years it ha I been felt quite widely that thi« Society ought to be lifted up into a tar more prominent position as the leader in the denomination in tin* va rious departments of Sunday School work, and Dr. Dunning was selected with the conviction that he possessed to a high degree the qualities needed at the head of this important work.

He is the author of Bible Studies, issued in 1SSG, and he was the same year elected Principal of the Chautauqua Normal Union. In 1S87 he received the degree of D. D., from Beloit College. He has been Superintendent of Instruction in the Nebraska Assembly since 1885, and Associate Superintendent iu the New* England Assembly* at Farm- iiighain Muce 1SSG, aud has also been an instructor in various other similar Assemblies, lie has lor many years been well known a-* a contribu tor to the columns of religious press, including the Congregation a 11st, the Stindav-School Times, the Advance, aud the Golden Rule. He has been one of the writers for the “Monday Club sermons” since IS7G, and he h ts now for several years furnished the Sunday-School explanation for the Cougrctigatioualist. During the pres ent year lie lias become the leader ol the Tremout Temple Bible Class, suc ceeding to the position so loug held by Dr. Meredith. Thus it will be sueu that for suiue time past Dr. Dun ning has been one of the foremost lead ers of thought iu the denomination which lie repsesents.” Dawson being a local station on the Columbus Southern, the F. It, & N. would make a mistake to counect with it at that point. The terminus is the only proper place lor a connec tion. Some of the.protection papers arc surprised that the low tariff papers should hold the late Hon. W. H. Barnuin in such high esteem, because he was a protectionist, it must he lemembercd that Mr. Bnrnum, unlike many protectionists, held his own-per sonal views in strict subservience to the demands, claims and good ol his party*. A little more than a week' ago, Dr. R. II. Cronin disappeared mysterious ly from Chicago, and for several days it was thought that he had been foully dealt with. The mystery now prom ises to be deared-up, and the indications are that the facts will not reflect very creditably upon . tne doctor. An arrest lias been made of a person who confesses tha.*; on the night on which I>r. Cronin disappeared, he met the doctor and two other men, at a certain place and conveyed the doctor’s com panions, and a trunk containing the body of a dead woman, to the destina tion desired by the two men. The in ference is that Dr. Cronin was guilty of mulpractice. A telegram from To ronto states that the doctor w*as seen there the other day, and that lie left a few* hours after being recognized.. The South is a great section of a grand country. Its products are an- ually Increasing in value, which is fully attesting that we lost nothing in productive capacity when we lost the slaves. The cotton crop has steadily increased in size until from three mil lion bales we have raised it to seven millions. Yet, with the largest crop ever produced, last season, the visible supply is less than it has been for yegrs,.showing that tiie consumption of cotton keeps pace w ith the produc tion. We have nothing to fear from our production, as the South is about the only cotton growing country in the world iu which the crop has steadily increased. The fact is that American cotton is more desirable than all others. Aikfbrth* June*. JlMBsSSSboelbrBccra J. MEANS & CO., Vail line* «f the above *hoW for solo » Jos. Ehrlich, Ag’t. ALBANY. GA.

The College boys at Oxford discussed this muchly mooted ques tion, and the President decided that the Democratic principles should pre vail. There will be a howl, probably, that all the text books are written in the interest of free trade. The truth is that botli theory and practice prove the sounnduess of Democratic princi ples. A writer in the Atlanta Constitu tion gives Judge James S. Hook, State School Commissioner, a deserved meed of praise for instituting the pres ent plan j)f examinations for public school teachers that prevails. Judge Hook inaugurated the plan of sending printed questious, prepared by him self, for the regular examinations of teachers in lieu of the old plan, which allowed the County School Commis sioners to prepare and submit the ques tions for examination. This plan of Judge Hook’s effected a great Im provement on the old, for it gave .unF- fortuity of standard of scholarship? in every county in the State. The effect of Judge Hook’s reform has been most salutary. It has secured competent teachers, and weeded out those who were uufikto discharge this 111 os’; im- portantof all public services..'

Walking on Broadway a few days since we met a young friend we had known from bis childhood. After an Interchange of the ordinary civilities lie asked if we could tell him what it would cost to become a Freemason. We answered his question briefly, and as we then thought, to the point. On returning to our office the fact im pressed ftselt upon our mind that In that query to which we had hurriedly replied, there was-a vast amount of re flective material centered. “What does it cost to be’ a Freemason?” he asked. Bnt little, viewed from a finan cial point, and a very large sum look- iug from a strictly moral and personal standard. In truth the absolute cost of Masonry to the individual depends a great deal upon the valuation set npoii it by himself. To him it Is either gold or dross money, estates, jewels, character and even life can be and are squandered daily by the hand and will of tiie profligate. So, too, can the charms aud rich treasures of Masonry be sacrificed by the prodigal brother. The moneyed consideration in the way of initiation fee and yearly dues are literally nothing when com pared with the benefits derived by the bretben. And yet good Masonic standing costs a great deal for its re quirements begin with an unclouded character and perfect bodily formation and with these come along hours of anx ious care and study, to say nothing of the heavy responsibilities that follow the opening of a new life.

Industry holds a prominent position in all Masonic bodies, and it never toler ates drones or idleness; hence good Masons are always interested in the study of subjects that tell them of progression either here in this life^ of the philosophic truths that are only —*° be solved and understood in the mittee anil also to take appropriate ac- great hereafter.

Atlanta Journal. * The county commissioners of Car- roll county are standing on a penny wise and pound foolish platform, judg ing from a suit which come3 up to the supreme court this morning from tiiat county. - The sheriff of the county had occa sion to go after a crazy womau who was to be tried. He hired a team from the livery sta ble for fonr dollars, charging It to the county. The commissioners refused to pay the bill, alleging that the price was too high. They offered the sheriff three dol lars to pay for the team, but he re fused it, and 6tied the commissioners before a justice of the peace. He was Igiven a judgment for the amount. The commissioners appealed the case to a jury, which gave him a verdict tor the four dollars. The commissioners certioraried the case to the superior court, which found for the sheriff. They have now appealed it to the supreme court. The grounds on which the commis sioners rerase to pav the hill is that the sheriff was not authorized to pay mure than three dollars for tiie team. Tbe case will cost each side about two hundred dollars. The commissioners who refused to pay the extra dollar will probably charge the two hundred dollars, or whatever the amount may lie, to the county with a clear conscience. The supreme court officials are very much annoyed that their lime should be taken up with such trivial matters when there are so many cases of im portance to look after.

I have reason to know, how ever, tiiat this statement is apocryphal. The dressing up, as it happens,*!* on the other side, for it is well known in the Isle of Wight that on more than one occasion determined visitors, who have fonnd their normal efforts to get a peep at Lord Tennyson unavailing, have actually disguised themselves as rural laborers in smock frock and gaiters, and contrived to not only get a look at, but even a passing word from the laureate. thl3 progres-ivc spirit of pure Masonry much valuable time is required, and many hours that would be otherwise devoted to pleasure must be sacrificed.

What is pronounced by the officials of the orphan’s court to be the most remarkable and interesting case ever tried before that tribunal was com menced before Judge Hawkins this morning. It is the much talked of contest over tbe estate of Thomas Sheehan. The principal as pirants to the estate, valued at $100,- 000 and including a valuable farm near Sharpsburg, are two young women, each of whom claims to be t’le only daughter of tbe deceased, and a nephew who claims that the deceased left no daughter. Mrs. Anna Sheehan, widow ot the deceased, has adopted one of the young women—Julia Mary Mitchell by name —and exposed her claim. Mrs, Shee han and this adopted daughter occu pied the stand the greater part of the day. Mrs. Sheehan’s story narrated tbe birth of an illegitimate daughter in 1855, of which tiie deceased was the parent, the subsequent losing of the girl, together with the subsequent marriage of herself and the deceased, thus legitimatizing tbe offspring. In 1887 Mr. Sheehan died. In De cember of the same year appeared the young woman, Julia Mary Mitchell, claiming to be the lost daughter, and to the witness’ mind proving the legal ity of her claim showing a birthmark upon her body, which the witness re membered her lost daughter possessed. It was chieflv owing to this birthmark, continued Mr3. Sheehan, that she had adopted the woman, who, moreover, bore a strong family resemblance. Miss Mitchell followed upon the stand and told the story of her life, going back as far as she could recall, which was abo.it to her fifth year, tell ing how she had wandered about, at one time being stoued, and bow, be tween her sixth and seventh years, she had been removed to an orphan asylum In St. Louis, where she stayed for probably a year; how subsequently she lived wftii families of the name of Kerwin and Mitchell, which latter name she adopted as her own, and then she afterward came to Pittsburg and passed through Lawrence county, where she had lived for five yean.
