An Imported Preacher.
The preliminary hearing in tiie
suit of the United States against
the rector, church wardens and ves
trymen of the Church of the Holy i
Trinity, for importing Rev. E Wal
pole Warren to preach in that church ;
was heard before Judge Wallace, of
the United States .Circuit Court, to
day. it is claimed that his importa
tion was in violation of the con
tract labor law, and the fine provid
:ed for violation thereof is SI,OOO.
The counsel for the church demur
red to the complaint on the. c’aini i
that the law was intended to cover
only the manual labor class. District-
Attorney Walker admitted that the
act was not the work of trained stat
utory draftsmen. Only professional
artists, actors, lecturers and singers
arc exempt; by law. Our choicest
metropolitan pulpits were invaded
by foreign product, while our theo
logical seminaries were sending
plenty of candidates for places.
“It is not,” said Mr. Walker, “the
’ duty of the court to justify the
wisdom cf Congress, but simply to
follow the plain meaning. The
law was plainly constitutional and
has been violated in the case at the
bar.” Judge Wallace reserved his
decision.
new TO WEAN HIM.
Bill Ny<? says: Henry Reimbold
writes to ask what he can do to
wean his nineteen-year old son who
is his pride and joy, from the buck
horn head of a four pound cane. I
do not know that I have heretofore
answered this inquiry, though it has
been frequently sent in. It is
a serious matter, but if properly
managed can be brought to a suc
cessful conclusion. Take the cane
from him for a half a day at a time*
substituting moistened bread
crumbs and sugar tied up together
in the corner of a clean piece of
linen, but do not let him cry too
hard at niuht if he has been in the
habit of cooling his gums on the
head of the cane. Do not spank him
and harshly take the cane away
from him, but give him a substitute
and lull him to rest by singing to
him. Gradually you will win him
from it, no doubt, but if all other
methods fail cover the head of the
cane with two parts tar-rofling and
eight parts Rough on Rats. He
will not die in the house.

In the year 1870, a family named
German, consisting of father, moth

county to seek a home in the far
west. After reaching one of the
border states, the savage Indians
fell upon them and massacred the
father and mother and the two old
est children, taking the others as
captives, and held them as such for
several years. The oldest in cap
tivity was Catherine German, now
Mrs. Catherine Swerdfcrg?r, of Sa

ten a true and thrilling narrative of
the ir captivity, which is to be pub
lished for - the first time in the Blue

THAT MAN.
Do you see that man over in the
field, driving a pair of mules? Who ,
is he, and what is he doing? j
He is a farmer and engaged in .
plowing. He is the man that moves ]
the world. If he would go on a (
strike and refuse to raise a crop for ,
a single year, it would produce more ,
disastrous effect than would result
from a universal strike of all the
brotherhoods of railroad employes
and trade unions combined. He
with his glittering share, furnishes
subsistance for all the brotherhoods
and every body else, and if he
should “go out,” for some real or
imaginary wrong, he would paral
yze the commerce of the world on
sea and land, every locomotive
would rust in its stall, the cars would
rot on the side tracks, the song of
the spindle and hum of the factory
would be hushed and silent, the
goods of the merchant would be
moth-eaten on his shelves, and even
the government would be powerless
to interfere. That share, though
bright, glitters only when it is idle.
It hides its polish under a six inch
layer of usefulness. That man,
though intelligent,dresses in home
spun, and patiently toils on, year
by year, bearing the ill he cannot
shun, and because he does not strike
the world moves on and the people
have bread to eat.
And just now stop a moment and
consider how much more our pros
perity depends on the man with the
mules, than on the dude with the
cane and the waxed mustache.
Boulanger.
Boulanger has been elected to the
Chamber of Deputies of France by
over 100,000 majority. He is the
most popular man in his country
and it is the hope of hjs ability
and the knowledge of his willing
ness to retrieve the losses sustained
by France in the war with Germany
in ’7l that makes him go. The
French realize that the time for
them to strike has nearly come.
I'he men who have held Germany
together and led her armies to vic
tory have passed and are passing
away. Emperor William is dead,
Emperor Frederic is dying, and
Bismarck and Moltke are old.
There are no men who can fill their
places. The Crown Prince is young
rash and inexperienced. Russia is
an avowed enemy. It may be that
the German empire, built in two
decades with blood and iron, will
crumble in as many years by the
same agencies. It looks that way
now and that Boulanger, in the
hands of providence, is to be the in
strument for its accomplishment.
Our Judge Runs.
The Atlanta correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph relates how a
cranky woman went to sec Gov.
Gordon to get redress for wrongs
she alleged had been done her. “I
bought 40 acres of land in Haral
son county,” said the woman, who
hails from Illinois, “and hired a
man to plant it in trees. He stole
all my money and never did the
work. I have been for eight years
trying to get into court about it
but it seems like I can’t. Judge
Maddox runs from me every time I
see him, and I can’t get no justice
of the peace to protect me; so I
come to see the Governor.” She
was told the Governor could do
nothing whereupon she said “If I ;
was a man and wearing breeches
somebody would have been in the
penitentiary long ago.” We don’t '
blame Judge Maddox for running
from such a woman, for running
from such is the better part of
valor.
California big ..rees will have to
take a second place as botanical gi
ants now that the ocean has under
taken to beat the land in the size
of its products. Capt. John Stone,
of the ship Clever, picked up a sea
weed on the Atlantic, near the equa
tor, that was 1,500 feet long. It
was an alga, and has been identi
fied as a specimen of macroceptis
pyrifera. Perhaps it is the kind of
weed that the sea serpent eats.
At the close of the fiftieth con
gress the terms of a third of the

I lighting chances for more.
NO. 13.
Why the South is Solid.
Great is the Republican astonish
ment at the immense Democratic
majority in the state of Louisiana
—a state in which they counted on
making large gains, not only be
cause of the late democratic dissen
tions, but on account of the propos
ed reduction of the sugar duties by
the democratic tariff bill.
The republicans are very slow
to learn that, however pronounced
may be democratic differences as v,.
men, and even as to measues of
policy, whenever it comes to a flight
with a party that is always villify
ing them and their section the dem
ocrats of the south will be a unit.
It is natural that it should be so.
Our enemies, while thus misrepre
senting and abusing us, credit us
with more of Christian forbearance
than we arc really entitled to, in
hoping that “when smitten on one
cheek we will turn the other also.”
If they cannot find in the vitupera
tion of Sherman and the ravings of
Foraker, Fairchild, Ingalls et al., a
sufficient reason why the south
should be politically “solid” against
them, notwithstanding appeals to
the interests of classes or local or
personal antagonisms, they are ver,
dull of comprehension. And they
are equally blind to the true situa
sion if they cannot see that the
sectional agitators above mentioned
are the men who do more than any
others to make and keep the south
solid.
Another thing which the repub
licans are very slow to learn is the
fact that they hold no bill of sale
of the negro voters, as they do of
the white voters of Rhode Island
whom they buy at $5 to $lO a head.
In the first gush of exuberance over
freedom and the right to vote
when the negroes believed that the
republicans had “sot them free’'
and would do great things for them
they were nearly all republicans,
anxious to vote early and often for
their deliverers. But the negroes
are much more intelligent and bet*
ter informed now, and that delusion
has been dispelled. They know
now that their best interests are
promoted by harmonious feliitioiis
with the people among whom they
ive and labor; that the prosperity
of one race at the south is intimate
ly connected with the prosperity
of the other; that the white repub
licans have only used them fortheir
own advancement or gain, and de
ceived them with empty promises
for a quarter of a century. So well
are they now convinced of this fact
that the political movements of the
present year disclose a feeling of
distrust and antagonism between a
few white leaders and the negroes
who still take an interest in repub
lican politics. The harmony that
once existed between them, or rath
er the leadership on the one side
and the blind following on the oth
er, no longer exists, and can never
.again be restored.
