He also said that ho never was at Crown Hill cemetery until last summer, and was perfectly delighted with the place, and spoke with special pleasure of the beauty of a numlier of graves upon which varlons col ored shells hail been placed. He mentioned the subject of death today, and said be was ready, and that he could not see what ha was living for, as there was little comfort in life for him.

New Yobk, April 3.—[Spoeial.]—The tab ernacle in Madison avenue, where Newman succeeded Bepworth, and congregational raws marked the failure of the Newman enterprise, la being tamed into tho largest fsltb cure temple In the world. The edifice wss built about fifteen years ago, and is an architectu rally curious structure of iron, with tho inte rior arranged in amphitheater style—rising pews half circling the platform. Tbe Bev. Albert B. Simpson is a radical advocate and operator of miraculous cures by faith. He eamo to New York three years ago, hired n ball In the Grand open house building aud Instituted religious services. The feature of bis worship was tbs anointing of diseased per sons nt the altar—literally, the touching of their foreheads with his forefinger dipped In pure olive oil—aeoomponied by a fervent prayer for the cure of the ailment. Hundreds of patients bare believed themselves helped or healed by this treatment. Blmpoon’s congregation grew too big for the ball, and he took poooemion of tbo ehnrcb, which tho late Salmi Mono had altered into a theater for his attempt to produce tho Paaoion play. There he has exhorted and anointed before crowds, and his fame has become great among believers in his power to work mira cles. He has paid $2,000 cash down for the Medium avenue property, declaring that tbe money came to him from some stranger In ns answer to prayer; and he expects to make the rest of tho payments, aggregating $120,000, through the some providential agency. Of this sum $24,000 roust be forthcoming by the end of May, Mr. Simpson has the appearance of s saaioua radical, with perfect faith in his doctrines. He says that all bis prayerful force wilt he directed to tho miraculous raising of tbo time the tabernacle aril Idneleaa hospital as the world has never dreamptof. A PECULIAR PETITION.

Movrpruu, Vt, April 1.—Loot night* kraty nia and the melting *f the mountain Nxw Mexico is the least known of oar ter ritories. As tho Hon. Clarence I’uilcn asld In hit Beaton lecture, It is the quaintest, strang est end moat mysterious of all our putt cations. It ia the oldest and young*st,the lint civilised and tbs least progressive section of our coun try. It It tho land of parpntnai sunshine, and it it not surprising that its first inhabitant* wrro tun wozahlpero. It baa 5,000 square mile* morn land than Now England, New York, Now J or icy and Delaware combined. It is a country of romanoo, mystory and terror, rich in wine end coin, abounding in desperadoes and Apaches. Mr. Pullen briefly sketched the history of tho country from the time of tho couquest by tho Spaniards up to tho entrance of tho Americans in 1845. Ho told of the easy victory which the superior armament of the Spaniards muds pos sible. of the Europeans' thirst for gold, of the creel manner In whieh tho natlrea were en- slnred and made to work In the mines, of the tortures to which they were subjected, of tholr final tuccestlbl struggle for liberty from tho heavy Spanish yoke, of the withdrawal of tho Invader from the territory aud the subjugation of tho laud latorby tho Spanish. This history Mr. Pullen related In a narrative form, and illnslrated by anoedoto ami story, so that It f irored very entertaining as well as instruct, ve. In specking of the suoecsafrilriiingofthe Indians,tho lecturer noticed aa a moat remark able flwt that th* Indians succeeded in com pletely changing, in a very short time, the entire aspect ot the country. They turned the churches into temple of Montotnma, de stroyed nil vestige* of tho Spanish relig ion and completely obliterated *11 trace* of the Spanish mines. They believed that tho minee ware the eanse or *11 their trouble*, and been mercllobly worked, Tbe pethi concealed, tbo entrances had been covoi with limbers, and on these fist stones had been placed, and the whole corcred with sarth, in which trees had boen set out. Tbe Mexican tbe speaker did nut wish underrated. Ho protia, honorable, vindictive and Jealous, and his wounded nothin* but blood would satisfy honor; but, by virtue of his relicion hospital* hy was a matter of course with him. He makes a gallant soldier, well officered, and U ntver occurs to him to be ashamed of hit poverty, or to apologise to you for the quality of the fsTe he offers you. The poor Mexlein my a to you: ”We are poor. Wo would like to offer you much more and better, but that ia all we have, and you are welcome.” A Winning Young Lady. From the Cartersvtlle Conrant.

The KoglUh «t*tMBifn-aitditone la tbs Boast of CcmacBi — The Scotch Oppose divisions — Analog Against Strikers - A SooMUsts Arrested- A Horrible Mssssors. London, Msreb 29.—Mr. Gladstone, Iu the fcoute of commons this Afternoon, stated that on April 8th ho would ask permission to intro duce his Irish government bill. That on A pril 12tb the budget would be introduced. And that on April 15th he would request permission to introduce a bill to amend the laws for the sale and purchase of land in Ireland. Both Cham berlin and Trevelyan were present They sat below the gangway, chatting with Lord Ilsrt- legion and Sir Henry James. Mr. Gladstone's statement in the bouse of commons was heard in dead silence, which was broken only at intervals by the cheers of the Parnellite members. London, March 20.—Ta order to keep Messrs. Chamberlain sad Trevelyan iu Ihe cab inet, it ia said that Mr. Gladotono laid before them the full text of hia Irish schemes. Not withstanding the efforts nude to keep them secret, meat of the prominent paints are al ready in the months of the politicians. The Times believes that Mr, Gladstone will pro pose u statutory parliament in Dublin, placed In a position or practical independence, with a wide range of legislative au thority and entire control over administration, including law and pel loo. The scheme re serves to tbe imperial government little more than the command of the armed forces of the crown, This account tollies with tbe known views of the men whom Mr. Gladstone has chiefly consulted, bat affirms nothing bat a veto power, which the Parneilities regard as vital. Tbs opposition to tbe other branch of Mr. log out tho landlords, has so steadily Increased that he has been strongly niged to abandon it and to propose home rulo in naked simplicity. Mr, Labouchero again loads jiff in tbit move ment, which waa started in order to aecare the precedence of the Irish parliament over land purchase, bnt has new became a demand for borne rale only. The Standard retorts that an undisguised proposal to placo the landlords at the mercy or a tenant legislature would leave Mr. Gladstone almost alone In tbe lobby with the Parncllltcs. Pabis, April 1.—Dispatches from Annum re port fresh massacres at tbe Catholic missions In tbe province of <tuang Blrig. The number of victims is said to he 442. London, April 2.—“Mr, Gladstono Is riding straight for n fall,” the Pall MaU Garotte de clares this afternoon. “He refuses,” ttys tho Gazette, “to modify his Irish scheme, and the result will be that the country frill hare neither home rulo in Ireland nor Gladstono.” The Pail MaU Gazette announced in the tome way precisely that Loid Salisbury would "ride for a fall” at tho very time tho tory premier was arranging for bis own defeat. The doctor- ation at tbe time wae generally hooted by the other English pinore, but the Oazette was entirely accurate then. The Freemcn'e Journal, commenting on tho urowlnff opposition among the Scotch mom- hers of parliament to granting Ireland a par liament, threatens that if the Scotch mom- ben help to defeat Gladstone's homo rule hilt, tho rarnellitcs will adopt a policy of relentless opposition to overy Hootch measure which may come before parliament. At a meeting in tho Guild hail today, at ev ery mention of Parnoll’s nemo tho nudlorce hissed. The name of tho premier was treated in tho lame way every time any speaker nsed it. There were even erles of "Gladstone la a lunatic.” All the speeches were entirely pa triotic and tho speakers wore loudly cheer ed. George Potter, liberal, ventured to propose an amendment to the Lubbock resolution, to tbs effect that (liadstcno was entitled to tho confidence of the sndisnoe and the British public; hat hia voice was drowned by groans and crion of "go home,” “torn him ont.” The meeting closed with three cheers for tho queen, and the asscmblsgo left the ball, ringing “Rulo Brittennia.” The Belgium Hints. Cha heritor, Belgium, March 29.—Tho gov- ernnient authorized tho peaceable inhabitants of tho city to arm thomselvoa aud use ovory moans In tholr power todefeud their domicils.

Rioters last night attacked and burned the rettery manufactory at Bandour, uoar Mans. They succeeded in resisting the gendarme, who, however, ehot and killed throe of tho riolcre. „ Tbe cJUscna of Kleuris, seven miles north east of Charleroi, havo armed thomeelves and have thus far succccdod la defending their town from pillage. They drovo ouo army of rioters away by main force, dispersing It ut terly. The strikes ere spreading in the coal mining district of Borlnsgu, and tho anthoritiea there are apprehenaive of grave excesses on the pert of disaffected workingmen. The miners in that district receive but sixty cents a day, and are employed only five days In the week. Several anarchist leaders were arrested at Charleroi today. 1 .trover, leader of the Socialists, has been arrested. It has been proved that tho riots are not due to political cantos. Of ninety per sons arrested hare in connection with tha dis turbances, one-half are old convleto of tho wont kind, Tho entire reserve force hmi been colled ont With these additional troops tho army will number 02,000 men. Balaam, March 30.—Quiet has not only bean restored at Charleroi, bat tha strikers are geaanny returning to work. Tho only local ity whore distnrbancea havo increased is tho central coal min log district. Advices from Liege say that qniet has boen restored. The troops which havo boon sto ut Charleroi and Ltego are leaving tinned throe placet for Tourney and Mona. Tho gov ernor of Liege has promised the striking min ers that be will intercede for them with the empioyeaa, with the object of securing for the workman an increase of wsges. BncovElSL March 31.—Work has been re sumed in all tbo factories and collierlej In the Charleroi district. The authorities have, however, forbidden the workmen to celebrate tho ending ot the strike hy a car rival. The Belgian socialists of Paris, who were prevented from holding e meeting hut night by the police, attempted to amemblt today. The police again interfered and arrested ail the leaden. It la probable the government will order Urelr expulsion from Franco. Pres ident Gravy has racoived n letter threatening him with violence, end in ronseqneneo the guard at Ms residence has been Increased. Baratoaa, April 2.—About 15.000 striker! refkse to return to work in the Ckarlerebdla- trlct. The men are no longer rlotooe, how ever. There is more or less agitation among the strikers at Marehisneao, Fleorna and Chat- elaatea, and at these points troops ere still today. They are disorderly and many have been arretted.

McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Tiraw, recently fpent a month in Florida, and while be vu there he studied orange farming with a practical eye. He reached the coucluflon that orauge groves are not only profitable, but are very certain, If the orangj grower ia tn expert In Florida soil, climate and orange trees. Bap-lia^ard orange growing will not pay any better than hap hazard wheat or corn growing As In every other branch of funning, the Email grower who raises his own supplies and early vegetable* and attends to a Email grove, i* the winner. A farm of from twenty to forty acres ix tbe farm of the future In Florida, The Email farmer come* to stay and com* pel tuccess. The large grower, like the mere spec ulator, Is to disappear. The orange product of Florida Is much discussed and many no doubt are led to think that we are growing the oranges we eat. It is a great mistake. We Import from Sicily about ten oranges to one grown In sunny Florida. The Florida crop in IMS wr* eighty millions, and the consumption of tbe country la In round numbers eight hundred mill ions. But between Florida and California there arc children living who will see homo production catch up with, if It does not pass, home consump tion. The larger part of the trees of Florida are too young to bear, and when they are in full bear ing, as they will be In tbe courso of another ten years, the foreign product will no longer be want ed. The orange tree Is very long-lived, and when every treo in the state today la old enough to yield ten thousand oranges, the growers of Sicily will havo to scok new markets, Hllk culture U another subject that the south has good grounds to consider In a practical way. The interest Is doing well; and Mr. John Lucas, of the Woman’s silk culture association, complain* that the congressional appropriation of 130,000 has been chiefly used to pay salaries. Only >5,000 was spent for eggs. The Woman’s association has paid over 16,000 to women In tbe comitryforeggs, cocoons and reelings, and bos promoted the planting and grow ing of mulberry trees. Beside* the Woman’s association there Is an a*oclatIon In California, and the gov ernment station at New Orleans buys cocojns. The Woman's association has paid *37 25 for Geor gia cocoons, 938.09 for Florida, *29.02 for Alabama and *20.01 for South Carolina cocoons. There are 3*0 silk factories In the conutry, and the problem in band is to famish them with raw silk of home growth, thereby retaining millions at homo and giving onr women remunerative and comfortable employment. The women's associa tion claims the aid of the government in the effort to pot silk culture on a paying basis. It is claimed that home culturlsts would become numerals and sklllfal If they could be assured of a market for all cocoons, whether perfect or not. The enterprise is lsiglng just now, and It Is thought nothing can save It from collapse except the long purse of the government Mr. Chapin, lately of Richmond, says: “Mr Tom Alfriend told me that shortly after the war he bore a proposition to General Lee from the Knickerbocker Insurance Co., of New York, of fering him *20,000a year If ho would Allow theme of hla name as southern manager. General Lee de clined, saying that hc|could not consent to take any money he did not earn. lie added that If hla reputation was what they wished to buy that did not belong to him, but to his peoplc-to the soldiers who had earned it on tho battle ficlda of Virginia.” An old tobacco chewer said: “I saw you had an item yesterday noting that Bam Jones looked palo and wearied slnco hegavo up tobacco. Let me pre dict that he will look worse before be recovers. I know how heartily and how constantly he chew ed, and what a stimulant it was to hla overworked mind and body. I know from experience what a tciriblo loss It is, when suddenly stopped. H*m Jones will either renew tho me of tobacco or ho will flag for a month or so, and perhaps be foroed to.take a rest.aud recuperate.” l’AKM NOTES. Living between Bnchanan amlDrakctown is one of the most thorough-going women wo know of. The namo of tho lady we speak of Is Mrs. M. E. Smith, daaghter-in-law of Mr. L. C. Smith and daughter of BIr. Seaborn Goldin. Mrs. Smith's husband died some threo or four years ago, and tinco that time she has built a dwelling worth $100 and clear ed up over thirty acres of land. Sho hired a young man and went with him to the woods, superintended cutting and hauling of the logs to tbo saw mill; had tbe lumber laid dowu on the ground, and really assisted in dressing the lumber and doing other work on tho residence. The house is now completed, painted in good taste, and she has three good brick chimneys to hor Iiou.ho— everything complete and in style. She has alco pot pickets around hor house, and the work does crAit to an oxcollent good car penter. Besides the above she has with a little hired help, cleared up thirty or more acres of land ana put a good fence around it. Sho has a new* ground of soino twolvo or fifteen acres, which is about ready fur tho plow. Wo nottco In passing her residence an extra largo bank of manure which she has saved to enrich her land. Sho has planted a good sired apple orchard, and everything about her home is in trim. The financial management of this lady surpasses a majority of our men and would do credit to most all of them. The BIcDulfie Journal tells of two remarka bly succcsaAil lady farmers In that county, Misses Mary and Nancy Garrison. They live all alone, and, with a littlo hired day laber. conduct successfully a two-ox farm, doing all of their plowing themselves, although they are both over 70 years old. Miss Mary plows Back and Miss Nancy plows Mike. Miss Mary is very onict about her work, and it is only occa sionally you can hear her say “gee!” or r *haw!” to Buck; bnt Miss Nancy Is constantly talking to Mike, telling him to “gee!” or “haw!” and occasionally she will say, “Now, Mike, I'll hurt yon, I wilt!” Theymanago to mako a support for themselves and help to support others. The Washington Chronicle cites Messrs. Jack and Tom Nowsome as being among the best farmers in Wilkes county. Both of them talk'd all their homo supplies and neither of them has ever bought any meat until last year, when their hogs died with tbe cholera. Since the war BIr. Tom Newsome refused $1,000 a year to ge to southwestern Georgia and over* rce a farm. Mr. Jack Newsome was also offer ed $500 in gold by the late James DuBose to oversee his placo m South Carolina. In ante* helium times they were regarded a* the best managers of farms in tho whole country. They arc quiet, industrious citizen*, among the best in this section. Mr. Tom Newsome bos four sons who cultivate the farm and who stem to take a delight iu farming. PERSONS AND THINOS. Drnixo February 12.Y79 northerners visited Jacksonville, Florida.

Love, formerly Analytical Chemist for the Government, has made some interesting experiments as to the comparative strength of baking powders. Dr. Love’s tests were made to determine what brands are the most economical to nse, and as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were directed solely to ascertain the available gas of each powder. Dr. Love’s report gives the following: NAme of t’ua Baking Powders: “Royal” (absolutely pure) “ Patapsoo ” (alum powder) • • “ RuraforcV'/ (phosphate) fresh • • “ Romford's” (phosphate) old « « Hanford’s None Such,” fresh • “ Hanford’s None Suoh,” old . - “ Redhead’s” *• “ Charm ” (alum powder) • • - • « Amazon ” (alum powder) “ Cleveland's ” (contains lime) when fire A - »Soa Foam” « • • • ft Czar ” •» . * . “Dr. Price’s” • « « Snow Fl&ko” (Groff’s, St. Paul) “ Lewis’s ’’ Condensed • * ft Congress ” yeast « * “Pearl” “ C.

Phosphate and Tartaric Acid powders liberate their gas too freely in process of baking, or under varying climatic changes suffer deterioration.” “I have tested Royal Baking Powder, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is n cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or any in jurious substances. 'E. G. Lovr, Ph.D.” ->Dr. II. A. Mott, the former Government Chemist, ro ported to the Government in favor of the “Royal” brand. He says: “It is a scientific fact, that Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure. H, A.
