SISTER GRACES.
BY MBS. M. A KIDDER.
A friend and neighbor said to me :
**Of graces named, there are bnt three
Faith, Hope, end blessed Charity."
"Three more," I said, " there should be,
friend,
Three more to bless us to the end ;
May heaven to us this trio send.
' \nd if to listen you'll agree,
I'll tell their precious names to thee:
Love, Patience, and sweet Courtesy."
Love should with Faith go hand in hand,
And Patience wait at Hope's command,
While Courtesy equipped should stand
AtCbarity's wide open door,
Ana as her ministrations pour
Upon the people, go before.
Tes ; Courtesy should always lead
Prepare the rough soil for tho seed,
And bear the cruse of oil in need
When dwelling on fair Charity,
:Ur Wathlnk,, my nrighi&m^ivi'.M agre&
Too little of sweet Courtesy.
It is of life a better part,
The ray to warm a troubled heart,
The precious balm to heal th^e smart.
It will the sternest soul beguile ;
Where dwelt a frown 'twill plant a
smile,
Its influence speeding many a mile.
Then hail, all bail, our graces three !
Send forth their praise o'er land and
sea
Love, Patience and s.weet Courtesy !
The People of Georgia Show ?low
Soon a Good Man is Forgotten
by Their Laxness in Hon
oring his Memory.
AUGUSTA, GA , April 0.-When
the late Gov. Stephens died a move
ment was put on foot to purchase
Liberty Hall, in which the dead
statesman had spent his life, and erect
upon the ground a monument to his
memory. After most strenuous ef
fort3 the amount collected thus far
is only $371.95. So it is very likely
the project will have to be abandon
ed. What makes this apathy to
ward the collection of money for such
a monument more remarkable is the
fact that hundreds of young meripin
Georgia owe all they have to the late
Governor's generosity during his life.
For the last forty years Mr. Stephens
never had less than ten beneficiaries
receiving education for which he fur
nished the whole mean?. These men
have gone out into the world, entered
.the trade of law, many of them
amassed fortunes, while all of them
are well io do. Notwithstanding ail_
this, when a modest sum is asked;to
^ commemorate the name ot their ben
efactor most niggardly replies are
received. This show s how much grat
itude this people have. The body ot
the late Governor, which yet reposes
in Atlanta, will be removed to Craw
fordaville in a few weeks, where it
will be placed beside that of his
mother, whom he never saw. Mr.
Stephens u?ed to tell that when
boy it was his wont to go to the grave
of his mother, and, Hying upon his
back the.e, he would look up into the
passing clbuds and endeavor to catch
a glimpse of his mother's face there
??ow he is to repose by her forever.

X Coffin, a shroud, a Hearse.
How a Greenville Man bas Arranged
for bis own Funeral.
From time to time reference has
been made to the calmness and fore
sight which R. P. Roddy, of this city,
has exhibited in making preparation
for a decent and respectable funeral
and burial place. He is determined
that his remains shall have nothing
but a respectable and becoming inter
ment and that his grave shall not be
a simple, barreo mound of clay. The
attention which he has already be
stowed upon the lot in which hie re
mains are to rest, has been described
Now there is nothing more to be
done. His coffin, his shroud and his
hearse are now Becured and arrange
meats for a very nice funeral are
completed. Mr. Roddy has been ne
gotiating for some time with L. R
Ciiue, the well known undertaker,
for an outfit for a house of clay. Mr.
.the-ffrice of a coffin.
Mr. Cline told him that he could give
him "a nice one" for fifty dollars.
Mr. Roddy said that';was higher than
he wished to pay. A fifteen dollar
one was suggested, but Mr. Roddy
still hesitated. He then inquired the
price cf a shroud, and was informed
that they ranged from five to ten dol
lars. Mr. Roddy chose the five dol
lar one. Then the hire o? the hearse
was discussed. Mr. Cline named
ten dollars. Finally Mr. Roddy in
dicated that he would pay thirty
dollars for the funeral outfit -fifteen
for the coffin, five for the shroud and
ten for the;hearse hire. Meisrs. Ciine
and Roddy went into a 6tore on
Main street to draw up the agree
ment and c?ese the bargain. But Mr
Roddy still thought that bis funeral
expenses were too steep. He sug
gested a cheaper coffin-a five dollar
one. The amendment was accepted
and the som was reduced to twenty
dollars. Then Mr. Roddy wanted
ten moie dollars deducted, but he
could "scale" the rates no lower and
he therefore handed over the twenty
dollars. Mr. Cline gave his receipt
and the trade was perfected. Mr.
Roddy was anxious to have Mr.
Cline's services, wishing no one else
to do bis undertaking.-Greenville

ZACATECAS, MEXICO, March, 25 -
Assassinations are of not unfrequent
occurrence here, and human life is val
ued 1PS8 than the "beasts which perish."
An ex Governor of the State, General
Cardonas, who has been prominent in
politics for many years and figured in
more than one revolution, has lost no
less than nineteen of his immedi- te
family l y the red hand of murder.
The other day an attempt was made
to assassinate him, his carriage being
waylaid by masked men.as it was re
turning to his ranch about three
miles from town. It happened that
the general had remained at home
that day, and only his nephew, wife
and sister were in the carriage. The
nephew was killed in his stead, and
also the coachman, one of the shots
grazing the sister's cheek. The hordes
were cut loose and the terror-stricken
wemen ordered to walk home as fast
as their feet could carry them, which
command it is needless to say they 1
obeyed, leaving their dead in the dus
ty road. This being merely a " po
litical disturbance" it attracted no
particular attention, and the assas
sins are still at large. Nobody thinks
of riding outside of city limits, or,
indeed, within them alter night-fall?
without being well armed and at
tended. Betsey and I, with two oth
er ladies, were invited to spend yet
terday at a hacienda five miles away.
The e egant barouche, drawn by six
clipped mules, which was sent for our
conveyance, contained four shining
pistols in its inside pockets, for the
use of the ladies in case of emergency*
The coachman and footman. were
equipped Vith two revolvers and a
kuile apiece, and two out riders ac- '
companied us, each with gun, sword
and pistols fastened to his saddle. 1
But soon this was not considered sui- '
fiuient, and two gentlemen on horse
back, each with his armed and mount
ed servant, joined in the escort, mak- 1
ing quite a cavalcade, bristling with
the implements of warfare, as we
woui d over the silent mountain road.
Owing to a belated dinner, it chane
ed^ttat we dia not return at the 1
nour expected, and as darkness came
on the friends io town fell into a
wild state of ranxiety, fancying. tha.t 1
our mangled remains might be some- 1
where decorating the wayside. 1
As an instance of how little 1
regard the'government has for life, 1
let me tell you a pitiful story : A
child was missing from a mining set <
tlement at the edge ol Zacatecas, and 1
as weeks went by bringing no trace '
ct him, the distracted parents i mag- 1
ined he had been kidnapped. There- 1
upon some thirty persons, most of '
them laboring men about the mines, 1
were taken out and shot on the merest '
suspicion that they might know about 1
the lost boy ! About three months ]
afterward somebody happened to '
look down into a deep hollow (pioba *
bly an abandoned prospect hole) not {
many yards from the lather's house. '
and difcovered something therein '
which txcited his curiosity. Clostr 1
investigation revealed a small skele- 1
toD-the poor child evidently having
fallen in during one of the epileptic 1
fits, to which he was fulject, and had '
starved to death within sight of
home. I harper ed to be present
when the little mouldy jacket and
muddy shoes were brought up, amid a
crowd who wept for sympathy for
the mourning mother ; but nobody
had a thought fer the thirty vic
tims-mostly fathers of families- '
who were sacrificed in the unavailing
search.
Au Old Colored Woman's Expc- !
rience in tbe Black Republic.
Special Dispatch to thc Register. 1
ATLANTA, GA., April 12.-Maria ,
Rouse, an aged negress from Liberia, ,
was cared for at the city prison last V
night. She left Alabama in 1878, |
with a party of seventy-six negroep,
for Liberia. -Most of them died with
fever, while only two have been able
to get back to Am3rica. Only ten of
the party survived in Liberia. For
six years the old woman has been .
trying to save money to get back io {
Alabama. Negroes over there, she ,
says, are not paid over three dollars
a month for work. She says they
can hardly work for the jigger flea,
an insect which burrows down under
the skin of the feet, lives and breeds
there, and literally eats the feet up.
She said many had their feet cut eff,
as the fleas cannot be moved when
rnce they burrow under the skint i
making horrible sores. She bad saved i
fifty-six dollars in B?X years, which i
paid her passage to New York, leav- i
ing a few dollars over. She left 'or i
Alabama this morning.
If the Democratic party believes '.
that the hair of a dog is good for j
his bite it might swallow Sammy .
Randall as a presidential candidate.
Otherwise that is a dangerous pro
ceeding.
The protest of the people at Cin- ,
cinnati against our criminal laws and
criminal law practice is an intensified
expression of. popular feeling that
pervades the entire country.
The New Baptist Church at Lees
ville,
LEESVILLE, S. C.. April 4.-On last
fourth Sunday the first regular ser
vice was held in our new but income
plete church house. Although the
morning was unfavoraV we had a
good congregation. We shall never
forget the brotherly kindness of Revs
j. E. and Pierce Watson, the pastors*
and members of the Methodist church
during thj months we worshipedMn
their house. About three fourths of
our church remain unceiled owing to
our inability to raise funds with which
to complete it. A debt of about two
hundred dollars has been created in
bringing the work up to where it
now rests. Without the further aid
of brethren, sisters and friends, thor
ough completion will be considerably
delayed. Thia is not desirable. We
want our houee complete and fur
nished. Just a small amount from
the hands of the Lord's willing work
ers will do this.
At the risk of incurring their dis.
pleasure, I will state that Miss Carrie
Spann, Miss Lucille Spann, MissLvdia
Herlong, Miss Sue Johnson, Miss
Mamie Bouknight and Miss Annie
West gave ns a bell. Miss West is
the only Baptist of the six. Again,

ly finished pulpit Bible and hymn
book given by Miss Lillian Junee, of

Senator Butler Vindicated.
From Southern Christian Advocate.
Mr. Editor :? Your denunciation of
3anator Butler's ground of opposition
to the Blair Educational Bill gave oc
casion for equal surprise and regret
Lo some of your readers. We can
not see " betrayal of trust" in his
refusal to surrender the educational
[i. e., social) interest of the mass of
the people of the United States into
the hands of the party controlling
the U. S. Government. There has
been repeated evidence since the days
of negro legislation, forced upon
South Carolina by U. S. bayonets, as
to what the result of such a surren
der might Ijje.; and,.for one, I sympa
hize with the sentiment that the su
preme question in debate was not so
auch one of constitutional right or
policy, as of self-protection,
Tue bitter sectional spirit illustr?t
jd by Senator Sherman, who would
not trust the South to administer the
rund provided by this bill, the intro
iuction of amendment after amend
nent fixing the distribution of ihe
fund with the U. S. Government, and
:be fear lest these conditions should
De overlooked by men of both parties
n their anxiety to secure the money,
^resented the whole matter in a new
ight. The humanity of North and
South was invoked to break down
?pace enough in the walls of constitu
tional defence fer the admission of
;his votive offering to Minerva. Who
could say what use would be made
3l it?
Our Senator merits grateful com
mendation for rising high enough to
look over the immediate golden ad
fantage, to the cost of enjoying it.
LAICGS.
The new standard time ol the rail
ways has come already into almost
jnivereal use. Returns made to the
secretary of the Time Convention
show that of the one hundred princi
pal cities of the country, exclusive of
the cities on the Pacific coast, seven
ty-eight have adopted railway stand
ard time as their official local time.
The Pacific lines, including the Un
ion and Central Pacifies, ar? to adopt
the Etandard time when their spring
Echedules go iuto effect,- and it is ex
pected that the entire Pacific coast
will then come into the system. It
has been a quiet revolution, but much
more thorough than thc most san
guine friends of the reform expected
within so brief a time, and it is easy
to see now that the towns still adher
ing to the old order of things will
inevitably be forced into the new
system before long. Excepting in
Ohio, where six eities, and in Penn
sylvania, where three cities still main
tain their old local time, there are not
more than two cities east of the
Rocky Mountains where local time
different from the railway standard
is now used.

A Case In a New York Hospital-How jV
It Ia Caused and How it May Be '
Avoided.
NEW YORK, April 10.--Antonio j i
Pisino, the young Italian who was
taken to Bellevue Hospital Monday
oight suffering from what was found
to be trichinosis, is recovering.
" The trichina?," said Dr. Biggr,
who has charge of the patient, " a're
becoming encysted and as soon as that
process is over they will not be capa
ble of doing any further harm."
" How does a man get trichinosis?"
the reporter aaked.
" From eating raw pork. Of course
the pork most contain trichina, but
it is just as essential that the meat
Boonld be raw, for if the meat were
propery cooked the trichina would
be killed."
? " But how does the trichina) get
into the pork in the first place?"
" From the hogs eating the raw
flesh of other animals, particularly
the entrails. The process is like this
The hog devours the flesh of an ani
mal containing the eggs or cysts of
trichina;. When thess embryos get
into the stomach the proceas of diges
tion tlirsolves the cysts and the living
trichina; are set free."
Dr. Biggs showed the reporter a
trichina? that had been removed from
Pisino's arm, through the microscope.
The worm looked to be a little more
than an inch long and was curled up
?ike the letter "s."
"The actual leDgthof the trichiez,'
?aid Dr. Biggs, "is about one twenty
eighth an inch, and its diameter one
jix-hundred'b of an inch. We re
moved from P?6?no's arm a piece of
muscle about as large as a small pea.
[ calculate that it contained from
100 to 500 trichina? Professor Vir
chow estimated that in half a pound
of ham infected with trichinaVtbere
were no less than 30,000,000 of the
parasites."
" How could trichinosis be pre
sented ?" .
" By abstaining from eating raw or
)nly half cooked pork. Another and
perhaps better way is to have all pork
examined before it ia sold, aa is now
ione in Germany. Professor Virchow
said that he found trichina? in one
jut of seventy-five American hogs
examined by him, while among the
jogs raised? in Germany he only i?

twenty middle aged men met. before
the bar ol' a Madison street saloon to

point in his speech in opposition to
the Blair bill. Referring to the M
tonishing increase of cotton manu
factures in the South, Gen. Butler
cited the fact that during the past
three years, twenty five millions of
dollars have been expended tor cotton
machinery, and that seven million* j
and a half ol' this amount was the ad
ditional cost caused by protective du
ties. Let the General Government, ?
said the Senator, lift these and timi- ?
lar burdens from gi eat productive in
dustries, that annually inciease the
ability ol' the State to support her
schools, and the result will he iumd
far more profitable and acceptable
than direct appropriations for educa
tion from thc National Tieasury
There is no reason, however, why
the South should not have both aid 1
for education, and free machinery for j
cotton spinning and weaving.- New* ;
