Thousands Afflicted by Chronic Catarrh Under Free Treatment. _he first day of November, 1893, Dr. gave his consent to take charge of the treatment of 10.000 cases of chronic catarrh free of charge. The e announcement was at once published in all the leading papers, when tbe ap plications came pouring in from every 2 State in the Union. With a large num ber of clerks and stenographers to assist him, the doctor actually directs the treatment of thousands of cases by 4 correspondence, which costs the pa tients nothing, except the necessary medicines,, which are obtained at the nearest drug store. To become a pa tient It is only necessary to send name and address, describe symptoms, and -minute directions as to diet, sanitary regulations, and- other advice will be sent promptly. Wherever Dr. Hartman is known the name of Pe-ru-na has become a house hold word. It is safe to say that no medicine in existence is used by so t many families as Pe-ru-na. This is i especially true of this time of the year, c when the people are liable to catarral1 affections, coughs, colds, Ia grippe, etc Pe-ru-na has cured more cases of chronic catarrh than all other medi- t cines combined. The great majority E 6f those who 'use it buy the remedy i themselves, use it according to direc- t tios, not even reporting their case to Dr. Hartman until after they are en tirely cured. But now that a limited number of cases can secure the personal attention of Dr. Hartman free of charge, Ii is not to be wondered at that i many prefer to do so. Pe-ru-na never falls 'to cure catarrh when properly 3 used. The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing a Company of Columbus, Ohio, are send ing free to any address a book on chronic catarrh which gives the latest treatinent for estarrh, coughs, colds, la grippe, bronehitis, and all other affec tions of head, throat and lungs. ~_ AllFE POICY IN THE ion btullal Life 14suanno CDhlanU, . t OF PORTLAND, MAINE, f h to WB Inveft.uent a Man laic .

More than two thousand years have ased and gone P*nee Aristottle, the lisciple of Plato and he of Socrateb the ublimest of the philoeC..hers, in the lenitude ef his great powers, after raveling around the circle of learning, peaking of money, said "money is not y nature, but by law." Let all know hat all money is flat money. because il money is a creation of law by sov reign authority. What makes 25 8-10 rains of standard gold a dollar under or government? Why not say 20 or 0 grains? It is estimated that it takes ,nly.22 cents of labor to dig out of the round the amount of gold that is put 'to one dollar. Th#t 258-10 grains of tandard gold make ope dollar with us 3 by the arbitrary will of overeignty. he same rule applies to all metal mo tey; hence all money -is fat money. The instant the 'metals are struck nd coined into money they lose their atrinsic value in the capacity of mo ey. What is'oney? Whatever sov reign authority declares is a full legal ender for all debts, publicand private, a money regardless of the miaterial out t which it is made. This definition of oney cannot be gainsayed. Metal noneys are relics of barbarism. They bould be discarded. The metals are Do valuable and their coinage is too xpensive for use as money. As there 3 large and intrinsic valle in the ma erial out of which gold and silver oins are mad.e they alwaythide out In roublous times aud paper substitutes re resorted to. That gold has greatly ppreciated in value, and-we are near uia, are due to the discrimination in ts favor by unfair legislation begIn ing with the Act of 12th Febrtary, 873. Up to that time gold and silver iad the same rights of coinage and the me debt paying powers. 15.989 of ilver to 1 of gold, and the silver dollar ras the unit of value and the gold oins the ratio. There was no wran lug about the parity. By the clan estinely rushing of that Act through ongrees the money unit was fraudu Mtly changed from the standard sil er dollar 4121 grains 9-10 fine to the tandard gold dollar 25 8-10 grains 9-10 tne. Sec. 14th of that Act reads: That the gold coins of the United tates shall be a onedollar piece, which, t the standard weight of twenty-five nd eight-tentbs grains, shall be the nit of value." The standard silver ollar, the unit of money in this coun ry for near two centuries, was dropped rom coinage and a new coin styled the rade dollar, 420 grains, was substituted )r it. Section 25 of this Act reproduced in be revised Statutes, Sec. 3,524,..fes efinitely the charges for converting tandard gold bullion into coins at one fth of one per cent. while it leaves the barges for converting standard silver sto trade dollars to the discretion of be director of the mint with the con urrence of the secretary of the treas :ry. 6ectiou 2 of the Act of January 14, 875, which provided for the. resump ion of specie payments reads, "That so auch of Section 3,524 of thes revised tatutes of the United States as pro. ides for a charge of of one-fifth of one er cent. for converting standard gold uliion into coin is hereby repealed nd hereafter no charge shall be made >r that service." The Acts of*1Con ress show, while for twenty-five years ere has been a relentless war on silver, be money of the people, during all of hat time gold has been tenderly cared :>r. The value of gold at the mints is ixed by law, while silver is arbitrarily tenied any rights there. The govern ent pays one dollar in gold for every leposit of 25 8-10 grains of standard old, refusing to receive any- dleposit of ilver at the mints. A deep laidascheme les at the bottom of it. After the gold moneyers funded and estroyed all the government paper noney passible under the Act of the 2th of April, 1866, they began their var on silver. As 'gold and silver oney are about equal in quantity ey know if they can destroy silver as noney, gold alone will be the money i final redemption without a complete hange in our monetary system, which ustice demands.

BILL ARP's LETTEE Arp's omvly on the Combination of Hna mility,and Poverty. [Atlanta Constitution.] In every community that has a popu lation large enough to divide there are circles of society, circles of olitics, circles of secret associations and circles of the church. The first and last nadied especially embrace tW3e wives and daughters of the community. Women make up society and are more particu lar than men about who they admit into their circle. These circlesare graded like the pupils of a public school-grad. ed according to wealth or education or occupation. The dividing lines are not fixed nor well defined, for sometimes a poor woman who is smart and well mannered and of good family is ad mitted into ahighereirele. I-know very bright and beautiful lady who once was rich, but is now a milliner, and yet she is never omitted, never slighted by the charmed circle, as it is called. She mingles freely with those above her and those below her. This is the tribute that all classes pay to refnement and good breeding. A good woman who has been well raised, and his a good education can live in a place that is higher than the aristocracy of wealth. She has more social influence in the church or out of it than all the swells whose diamonds are their chief pass port, and when she dies sNe has more mourners at her funeral. -But I was ruminating about the ohurebsociety-thegood will and chari ty that prevaiis in church circles among all its members.- If they don't mingle togetheron week days they do on Sun days, for the charity the church teaches brings all its members on a level. Among Christians (I don't mean pretenders or bipocrites) there is no aristocracy. A soul ii-a soul and the humblest on earth will take the bigh est place in heaven. I am not going to preach a sermon. These thoughts were provoked by a little episode that hap pened in our church last week. Our preacher and his sister went to keeping house. They dident have much to start on and we were behind with his salary. Our country churches are al ways behind. For forty years I have been hunting for a church that was not behind. So it was whispered around that our preacher had to borrow money to buy a cooking-stove and he dident have no more furniture than Elisha had in his little room that the Shunamite woman fixed up for him by the wall. He is a sort of half yankee-born North and oducated South, and his sister has been teaching school up there. He is smart and handsome and humble and the most devoted man in his calling I ever saw. The poorest people in the town and vicinity know-him, for he has been to see th(m, and everybody loves him jast becauE , . loves everybody. He Dwes a ,balance on his- education and has gone in debt for some books, but we dident knoir it. All of a sudden we found out that he was distressed finan 6ially. We told him when he came that if the Lord would keep him hum ble we would keep him poor. But at last our church people became aroused. The ladies improvised a dona tion party and the men hustled around and raised his back pay and so last Friday evening the good things began to roll into the preacher's house. The ladies of the town sent flour and coffee and tea and rice and oatmeal and sugar and syrup and canned goods and some furniture and everything else nearly, and the country memberesent chickens and turkeys and lots of potatoes and pickles and jellies and all sorts of good things, even down to popcorn and per simmons from the children. I never saw the like <for two people. We are afraid he wili quit preaching and open a family grcey When the first load came he told the drayman it was a mistake-he hadent ordered any such things and he must take them back. But the dray man smiled a smile and said: "I is gwine to leave em here any how-dat's what dey told me," and leave them he did. Soon another load came and then another and there was nobody's name on anything. The poor man was bewildered. Be had just bought a twenty-flve-pounrd sack of four and here were 250 pounds more. "What did-he say?" I asked of a dray man. "He never said nothin', but he looked sorter imposed on." That nighg our people began to drop in on the parsonage unawares and by 8 o'clock the house was full of men, wo men and children. They found a hearty welcome, though they were not asked to take a seat, for se:ats were scarce. Everybody was happy, for they had done a good deed, and deeds always make us happy. The ladies slipped a purse of $20 in the sister's hand and the men another purse of*80in a preacher's hand, which was enough to pay his back salary, and then -we bade them good nigbt with good wishes, and all went home, where there were chairs enough to go round. That's the way to do the preachers. It lifts him up and renews his zeal and increases his faith. Pll bet there isn't another preacher in the State who dares to be like ours in one respect. He dares to play baseball with the boys and is by far the best player in the town, for he was captain of a team in college and like the sport. "Now boys," said he, "I will be glad to play with you, but you must promise not to usean oath nor an unkind or ungentlemanly expression during the game." And they promised. After the game was over he thanked them and invited them so cordially to come out to prayer meeting that night, that they went. His gentle influence over our town boys is always for their good. They respect him and admire him and go to preaching more than has been their custom. -And Paul said unto Timothy: "My son magnify thine office." Our preacher magnifies his office and digifies the pulpit and in spires reverence for the sacred place. Our preacher can beat any body marry ing anybody exeept himself that I ever heard. But he is young yet and will find a help-mate in the sweet by and by if not before. Preachers and doctors have to be married to be a grand success. Saving life and saving souls are the highest. callings in the world, and if people dident get married there wouldent be any fit to be saved. Every unmarried man who has passed the meridian -of life is a comparative failure. He is un complete. He is a suspect and has to be watched. David Bennett Hill may get to be president, but he is incomplete. So was Buchanan and Fillmore. The first lady of the land should be a pres ident's wife-not his niece. But a preacher should be very careful in his choice, for the poor woman will be criticised as much as her husband, and won't have any chance to fight back in the pulpit. She shouldent be a leader of society-that ia- of its fashions and frivolities. Bait she should be social and cheerful and bright. Nobody likes a meek and sad-eyed woman. I know a mnsterin Aditnbtty wrho mat-ried a very fashionable woman and it hurt his influence in the church. But still a minister's wife may smile Once or twice in a while, And still be a woman without guile. BILL ARP-. THANKSGIVING TO GOD. The President Sets Apart November 29 as Thanksgiving Day, WASHINGTON, October 31-The Presi dent to-day issued the following: By the President of the United States of America-A Proclamation. The American people should grate fully render thanksgiving and praise to the Supreme Ruler of the universe, who has watched over them with kindness and fostering care during the year that has passed; they should also with humility and faith supplicate the Father of all mercies for continued blessings, according to their needs, and they should, by deeds of charity, seek the favor of the giver of every good and perfect gift. Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, Presi dent of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November inst., as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept and observed by all the people of the land. On that day let our ordinary work and business be suspended, and let us meet at our accustomed places of worship and give thanks to Al mighty God for our preservation as a nation, tor our immunity from disease and pestilence, for the harvests that have rewarded our husbandry, for a renewal of national prosperity, and for every advance in virtue and intelli gence that have marked our growth as a people. And with our thanksgiving, let us pray that these blessings may be mul tiplied unto us, that our national con science may be quickened to a better recognition of the power and goodness of God, and that in our national life we may clearer see and close follow the path of righteousness. And in our places of worship and praise, as well as in the happy re unions of kindred and friends on that day, let us invoke Divine approval by generouslf remembering the poor and needy. Surely He who has given us comfort and plenty will look upon our relief of the destitute and our min istrations of charity as the work. of hearts truly grateful, and as proofs of the sincerity of our thanksgiving. Witness my band and seal of the United States, which I have caused to be hereto affixed. Done in the city of Washington on the first day of No vember, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and nineteenth. (Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND. By the President: W. Q.GRESHA,Seeretary of State. An Easy Method of Keeping Warm. E. B. Sangree, M. D., American Thera pist.] I should like to call attention to an easy method of warming one's self when other and more common means are not availa ble. It is a method that I suppose is well enough known to the profession, but probably not often used. I allude to warming the body by merely taking deep inspirations. On one very cold afternoon of last win ter, though walking briskly along, I was uncomfortably cold; feet and hand. were very cold. and my ears so chilled as fre quently to require the application of my heavily glove bands. In addition. the whole surface of the skin was unpleasant ly chilled; "creeps" ever and anon run ning up and down my spinal column and radiating thence over the body and ex tremities; in short, a condition that every reader of this little article has doubtless many a time experienced. I then began taking an exercise often employed before with benefit: deep forced inspirations, holding the air as long as possible before expulsion. After a few inhalations the surface of my body grew warmer, and a general sense of comfort pervaded me. Contmu ng, the next to feel the effects of the ef fort were my previously frigid ears. They grew agreeably warm, and within the time required to walk three blocks, at the previous pace, hands and feet partook of the general warmth, and I felt as comfort able as if the same length of time had been passed by a glowing fire. The happy results obtained from tbis simple method are probably owing to sev eral causes: The oold, of course, chills the surface of the body and contracts the superficial blood vessels, usually affecting first hands, feet and ears, a:. afterward the general body surface. Contraction of the blood vessels results both in less blood to the part and in stagnation of the current, thus rending the tissues still less able to resist the cold. Deep forced inspirations not only stimulate the blood current by direct muscular exertion but also by com pressing and expanding the lungs the flow of blood is greatly hastened through this organ and on account of the increased amount of oxygen inhaled, this abundant supply of blood is thoroughly oxygenat grtissue metabolism is incresdand more heat necessarily produced. Many times unavoidable exposure, as in riding, driving, standing and the like, for a longer or shorter time in the cold, bas been the cause of severe and even fatal congestive troubles,.such as pleurisies and pnmonias, and a means of quickly stimulating the flagging peripheral cir culation which a person has always with him, and which can be employed withouit moving a step, is one that ought not to be neglected or forgotten. Facts Abeut the Thornweli Orphanage. It began operation twenty years agc with a half dollar in the treasury. It is now supporting over one hundred and thirty orphans annually at a cost of one thousand dollars a month. The orphans are from the Presby terian, Methbodist,Episcopal, Lutheran, Bptist and six other denominations, from every Southern State, and some Nortern; from every profession and station in society. They are educated religiously and intellectually by the institution; and in addition every boy and girl is qualified, by learning some trade, to support themselves. Trheir support comes from the volun tary gifts of God's peopl'-. Provisions and clothing and money-all such gifts make up the sum annally needed. Yes, help is needed now. On the 1st day of November there was not one dollar in thie treasury, and none ex pect ed save from the hand of the Almighty FaJer. The Orphanage is located at Clinton, South Carolina. The town has three railroads to carry in gifts of provisions. Rev. Win. P. Jacobs, is its head, to whom gifts of money may be sent. This is the month for the thank of fergs. Nlext month is fur Christmas ogr ew Year's THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. An Argument in Favor of Silver and Against the Theory of Over-Production as the Cause of the Great Depression. To the Editor of The Herald and News: Since having an article on the financial question published in your paper, I have had many to attempt to convince mue tbat over-production was the real cause of agricultural depres sion, but I must say that their argu ments appear vague and meaningless. I suppose that gold monometalists and over-productionists will admit that our homes have declined in value since the demonitization of silver. I will take the following from statis tics of the Government report and we will see that the decline up to 1890 has been one hundred per cent. The aver age value per acre in 1870 was $58.00, for for 1890 it was $28, and the decline since 1890 has been enormous. Now, to follow the trend of their ar gumente, we added Alaska to our ter ritory several years ago, and the prodi gious increase in acreage was out of all proportion to the steady increase in de mand for homes, and, as a natural re sult, land had to decline. Such is very vague, but it is just as logical as the arguments which contend that there is an over-production of cotton, while the majority of our people are in actual need of cotton goods. I admit there is an over-production to the same extent that an injustice has destroyed the demand. If we dis continued entirely to plant cotton would that restore to our homes and personal effects their former value. It seems that gold bugs and over-produe tionists can see only one side. They contend that if one half of the cotton crop could be destroyed the other half would double In price. They talk a great deal about supply and demand and, at the same time, ignore that fun damen tal law, by misapplying its prin ciple. We once had an adequate supply. of money to carry on the business of this country and prices were normal and satisfactory. In 1873 .one half of our real money was destroyed, but gold monometalists refuse to admit that the remaining half has doubled in value. Now when I speak of money power, I mean speculators in gold and not all of our banks, for the bank's business is increased in the same proportion that the ability of. the people to handle money is increased. The money power can now corner the only real money and reduce prices to any extent desired. Except where our imports exceed ex ports, foreign trade is our debtor. Last year the excessof our European exports over imports were $203,626,617, and yet there is a continuous flow of the only money that measures values from our country to Europe. Now to keep the token money on a parity with the redeeming money, it must be with drawn from circulation at the same ratio that the volume of the basal money is reduced; the effect of this is that prices must decine all along the line. There is nothing under the sun more subtle and insidious than the money power, and Mr. Cleveland is now look ing on at the country writhing for life in its deathly coils with an indifference that bespeaks hisaseent, and when we complain of the oppression there are some whd are ready to read us out of the Democratic pqrty. Germany adopted the gold standard about the same time we did, and I have j ust read in a report of their late monetary conference that their agri cultural districts are rapidly becoming depopulated; that farmers who were oace well to do, are now actually the recipients of alms. They do not attrib ute this state of affairs to any overpro duction, bat admit that it is the natural consequenee of the great appreciation of gold that silver-standard coun tries are enabled to throw their native products on the German market at prices far below the cost of produc tion in Germany. There was some evidence submitted to Congress in 1892 to prove that silver had not gone down in relation to com modit ies, hut only in relation to gold, and the following Is the substance of par t of thbat evidence: India does busi ness on a silver basis. The Indian shipped his cotton to London in 1883 and received 13 78 cents pr pound. The A aierican also shipe his cotton to London at the same time and re ceived 13.78 cents, because gold and sil ver were then at par. In 1892 the In dian shipped more cotton to London and still wanted 13 78 cents. In the meantime we had adopted the gold standard and silvei had gone down to 90 cents an ounce. 'I he Englishman goes to his bank and finds that he can buy 13.78 cents of Indian silver bills for 9 cents in gold, so the Indian gets 13.78 cents for his cotton and goes home Isatisfied because his silver had not gone down in relation to any commodity. Tbe American also shipped more cot ton to London in 1892, and finds that the Englishman had bought the In dian's cotton for 9 cents in gold. Now he has to take 9 cents and be satis fled, as he has the geld standard. biuce 11892 the divergence of the two metals bas been unprecedented, and t be abili ity of the Americans to compete has been correspondingly destroyed. It is time for tbe American to awake to a realization of trae fact that it is a suici dal policy for him to any longer at tep ocompete while under the gold standard But the money power and its henchmen say we must have an honest dollar. Now, I am willing to concede to the creditor the right to hi<. poundof fles, but not to one drop of unnecessary blood, and if a dollar must demand more and more of labor's pro duct to be honest, I contend that it wy~ould be te the public weal no)t to have it so wretchedly honest. Suppose we take up the dishonest dollar that we have heard so much of, and see if we can discover how it came to be dishonest. In 1873 a scheme was conceived in Europe and matured at Washington in committee to demon ecize silver, which was the embodi ment of theft itself, and so adroitly did England's satellites manage Congress that our representatives did not know until after a considerable lapse of time that they had actually destroyed the money function of silver. ~There was no bill thbat passed Congress, nor could there have been one to demonetize sil ver. It was simply revised out. There were patriotic men in Congress who saw what an awful mistake they had committed, and have labored in cessantly to restore to the people their money. The money power having once directed its force against it suc cessfully, will exert all means to keep it down, because they recognize in it a formidable weapon with which they can be successfully fought. Let us see how sensitive silver is to favorable legislation. In 1890 silver was worth 88 cents an ounce. In April of that year a free silver bill passed the Senate. Silver at once began to repent of its evil ways and was rapidly assum ing an hnest appearance. A commit tee was called; silver vacillated, and it seemed that it would prove to be a backslider, but in May the Sherman law passed and went into effect on August 13th. On August 19th silver was worth $1.21 an ounce. It was then discovered that our representatives had again been deluded-that the Sherman law treated a constitutional money metal as a commodity. Silver lost its honesty and the money power sent up a howl that confidence was gone and, by dint of continuous repetition, suc ceeded in getting a great many peopla to believe that dishonesty was inherent in the metal. Mr. Cleveland said, by giving the dishonest thing a fatal blow, confi dence would be induced to recurn and would bring prosperity with it. Our representatives did not take well to such views. Mr. Cleveland went to work and by judiciously feeding from his patronage spoon soon got enough of them tractable and carried his point. The results have been sufficient to de monstrate the fact that a robber could have quoted from the Bible with as much eonsistency while relieving his victims of their valuables. As we no longer have that dishonest dollar to protect our interest, the hon est dollar demands 50 to 100 per cent. more of our labor's product. I do not mean to say that Mr. Cleveland is not honest. The money power says the old gentleman has a backbone, and I mean they have hold on it and by giv ing it a twist can make him pull -in their harness. Mr. Cleveland admitted as much when he told Col. Oates that the money power had the country by the throat and could drain the treasu ry within twenty-four hours and was afraid to sign.the seigniorage bill. - Mr. Cleveland's pet hobby was tariff reform, by which tie thought he could divert the masses from the true causes of their oppression. If the farmers could get living prices for the products of their labor they would not be found grumbling if a protective tariff would enable their brother laborers in other vocations to obtain living wages. There is about as much philosophy in telling a hungry man he can live on without eating anything as to take a man's money from him and then tell him you have made goods cheap. The tariff bill passed, and I hear no complaint of it from tariff reformers, but Mr. Cleveland refused to sign it and gave Mr. Catchings his reasons for not doing so. One was, that it con tained inconsistencies which should be in no tariff laws nor any other laws. The money power said the income tax clause was an inconsistency. I antici pate the reply to the positiob that I have taken, to be: that no one not versed in the laws of finance should be triticising the actions of an eminent financier, I contend that all just laws 4are based on common sense, and the law of finance is no exception. Cabut defines the word "financier" to be "one who possesses the art of plucking the fowl without making it cry." Now, if events are the toucbstones for any thing, even some otthe gold bp _will. soon be forced to admit that the have been outrageously plucked. (. P. HILL.

ANRW ,T. WILLINGHAM, -Executor. A STORY OF SAND BAR FERREY. - Tne Duel Between HaMpdeO Wiffall and Young Cogsdale-A Mother's Fateful Journey frojn theTragie Field of Honor. EDGEFIELD, October 27.-Mr. James T. Bacon's lecture on "Anecodotes and Reminiscence of Early Edgefield," de livered in the Opera House here a few days ago, was a masterprice of pathos and humor, wit and merriment, inci dent and accident, romance and hIis tory. Among many others he told the following pathetic story of a once famous duel, so illustrative of old-time Southern chivalry, and the consequent death blow to a mother's heart. It is reproduced in his own simple and eloquent words.: In the year 1828 there was in the South Carolina College a beautiful, brave, noble, gentle youth from Edge field, of barely 18 years. His name was Hanipden Wigfall. The Wigfall fam ily bad then lived in Edgefield only four years. They were rich Huguenot people of the Parish of St. Thomas and St. Dennis, in Charleston District, where they built an Episcopal church of brick, which is still standing, and around which they are buried. In 182-1 old Durand Wigfall bought a sum mer home in Edgefield, where he died in 1825. His widow, a gentle shrinking and devotedly pious woman, was leit witt three sons and one daughter, Hampden being the eldest. This lady was the paternal grandmother of my sister. At college a misunderstanding arose between Hampden Wigfall and his intimate friend, young Coddale, of Charleston, another very noble young man, only 19 years of age. The mis understanding turned out to be abso lutely trivial, but the lie had been passed and in those days of extremely strained chivalry and honor no recon ciliation could be effected. The Code Duelio then reigned in its most absolute and pitiless power. The man who was challenged to figbt a duel and even wavered one second in accepting It was forever socially damned, branded, ostracized lorever and ever. Young Wigfall challenged young Cogadale to meet him in mortal combat. The boy of 18 challenged the boy of 19, whom he loved and who loved him. They met with all the formalities the seconds, the doctors, and the inevit able negro attendant--at San Bar Ferry, near Augusta, before that and since the most noted duelling ground in America. Mrs. Wigfall the widowed mother, and my old grandmother, who bad also been a widow for two years, went to Augusta in Mrs. Wigfall's carriage to be near the scene and await the result. The mother was more dead than alive and bordered on actual lunacy. The duel was to take place at -n down of a summer day. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, having sent their carriage on before to prevent suspicion. my graudmother and Mrs.Wigfall crept out of Gen Glascock's house in Au ta, travelled down the South Caroli shore of the river on foot, and hid themselves in a thick wood not two hundred yards from ther scene of the duel. They could hear the sounds, but could see notbing. The carriage had been driven by -my grandmother's old coachman, "Uncle Watt," and by his side, on the lofty oldfashioned dickey seat, sat Matilda, the negro waiting maid. The carriage could not enter the wood, so it waited on the outskirts, one hundreds yards off. Hampden Wigfall fell at the first fire, killed instantly. Tb. mother rushed frantically to the scene. The seconds and the doctors were terribly surprised. Such a thing was unheard of as a woman near a duel. And when the mother threw herself upon the body of child she threw herself also upon the body of his unhappy slayer, for young Cogsdale, breaking away from his seconds, had rushed to the body, thrown himself prostrate upon the earth by it, wound his arms around it and, was sobbing out like a little child, and in tones of unutterable anguish, "Oh, Hammie, Mammie, Hammie!" as if trying to awake the dead boy. My grandmother has often told me that-the cry of the slayer was ten thou and times more heartending than even the cry of the mother. And then fol lowed a scene of Christian fortitude and Christian spirit perhaps unex ampled in all history. The hitherto wild mother calmly unwound the arms of young Cogsdale, and lifting bim up, kissed him tenderly on the forebead and said, with commingled pity and fervor: "God be with you, me child; God- be with you: You will need Him more than I will, for I will soon be with Him, I will soon be with my (Sod and with my child." And as the seconds led the weeping boy away she cried out to him, wringing her hands, "God be with you, my child. In Heaven Hammie and I will pray for you." It was now quite nightfall and the twilight lingered upon the saddest picture that was ever seen on sea or shore. In the meantime the wretched mother bad overheard the words, "We must wait for the coroner." Creeping up to my grandmother she whispered in tones of terrible agony, "No coroner must touch the body of my chiid," and then, with what was seen afterwards to be a woman's and a mother's cun ning, she went twenty paces away, whither the seconds, the doctors, Gen. Glaseock and the negroes had all with drawn, to leave her somewhat alone with her dead, and begged them all to retire for one hour to the ferry, a half mile away, that she might pray beside the body of her child. Knowing her to be a woman ot deepest and purest piety they quickly departed, every one of them, to the ferry. As soon as they were fairly out of sight, although a frail and slender woman, she lifted the body of her dead boy in her arms and bore it without shaking or staggering or resting a moment to the carriage at the skirt of of the wood. The carriage was an im mense old-fashioned round-bodied coach. My grandmother and Matilda followed her closely, pressing up in fact to her very shoulders to catch her if she sihould fall. But she did not waver a moment, and as the carriage came in view, she ran vigorously towards It. This was a mother bearing her dead child away from what she considered the profaning touch of the coroner. Delivering the dead body into the arms of Matilda and the coachman she entered the carriage and seated herself in a corner of the back seat; my grand mother followed her and took the obligne front corner. Then Uncle Watt and Matilda lifted in the dead body. The mother received the head upon her bosom, while the legs rested upon my grandmother's lap, and through the fifteen miles home in the warm, black summer night, thus, they travelled. Home was reached at midnight, and the bereaved mother laid herself upon her bed with her dead boy on her bosom. On the morrow the oroner did com p y t he.gal formalities, but the mother never knew it. She Apried her boy, standing at his grave without uttering a cry, nod then she went back to her bed only to leave it, as she had said on the fatal field, to go ome to her God and her boy. You years of age, left coll-ge and left the State. In his 30th year, unmarried, with snow-white tair, he died in New ark, N. J., never, it is said, having smiled since the hour of the duel.

You will not get what you want by paying for it, neither will you lack. what you need because you have no money. What you have and what you Jack will depend wholly on your de servmg It is very interesting, then, to. discuss the two questions, What did we bring into this world? and What can we ~carry out of it? for the answer enables us to for mulate that licy of action which will produce the results. 'Therwise man will spend his - greaet efforts in acquiring what he can keep, it is olly to exhaust yourself in morking for what Death will disdainflly tell you cannt be transported. The purpose of religion is to inspire you with sound and broad ideas on this subject, to restrain you from wasting our efforts on matters of little moment. -n and commonsense, therefore, or to put it still more forcibly, religion and the highest philosophy, are one and the same thing. First-We brought our bodies into thr world. This is of no special consequence, because we need them only while we are here and shall leave them in' the grave when we go hence. The Church has an odd theory that we shall take them with us, but it is to be hoped that this is an error. It is certainly a vr naensil thing to look forward to. Bythe time we get through with them they will be pretty well worn out. The body is only the soul's raimaent, and 'whenwe reach heaven we shall need a change. Secnd-We came into this world a bundle of undeveloped faculties. A child is afagot of rn'ita Not what he is, but what he may become, gives him in terest and value. We do not care so much for hisenvironment as for what he will make out of it. His natural qnaliWes aresimplyanunopenedchest of tools, and the exeaanthrough which he will pass are theanterial out of which he is to make something, t He may be born in apalace, or he may be borin a hovel; these are mere acci dents or incidents. With our false no tionsrof good and ill fortune we exagger ate the 'm rtanc~e of surroundings, but the eenltruth is that surroundings are - of very little conequence. A daily laborer can make as much out of his soul as his employer can make out - of his. Neither riches nor poverty impede spiritual progress. One can be' as noble - in two humab!e rooms as in the costly mansion, for wLether you are in the one at the other the .'ame events happen to. you., and they must be controlled by the same qualities ofehnracter. Sorrow is sorrow w'herever you find it, and no hank accom.t can purchase im miunity. A grave ii a grave, whether there is a costly mon-iment above it or onlyaheadatnen of mirble. When you - reckon with actual experiences you dis cover they are independent of wealth or poverty and come to all alike, and when you look at the heart ofunen you findI the same measure of hum.in nature in them alL Now, when we take our departure, what shall we carry with us? . Death is a terrible democrat. When he comes he takes no note of where or how you have lived. He ignores all class dis tinctions with a kind of contempt. He does notcare whether your body' is clothed in fine linen or in rags. fle has been sent 1 for your soul, your naked soul, pure or impure, and that alone will he take with him. He strips your environment from you as you would throw aside a tattere'i garment. The only thing he will allow you to carry-absolutely the only thing is your character. When you reach heaven you are what you are, neither more nor'less; and your surroundings in this life are of no account wnatever. if you have done well, then you will have reason to be satisfied; if you have done ill, yon will see that you have made a mistake. That is the stern and relentless truth of the case. When we came into the world we brought a great possibility. When we leave it we shall carry the record of what . we have doiis,and whether that is to be little or much depends entirely upon our selves. _ _ _ _ in the ears, sometimes a roaring, buz zing sound, are caused by catarrh, that exceedingly disagreeable and very com mon disease.
