tumorous Department He Must Go.?There is a postmaster in a village not 50 miles from De- i troit who has got to go. Some of the patrons of the office were in the city t yesterday to see about it. They want to load ap "offensive partisan" shot- ^ gun and fire it off at him from a distance of 10 feet. Said ope of the committee : "For one thing, he's got so high toned that he will no longer lick on 1 stamps, and for another, he don't seem F to care whether we get any letters or not. The other day I went in and t asked him if there was a letter for me v from York state. " 'No,' said he. if (Will rnii lnnlr ?' ravr T. *1 *" j w** g " 4I know there isn't,' says he.

Among the crowd present at the bat- !j tie panorama the other evening was a 1 boy about 15 years of age. He had been gazing around him for about 15 c minutes, when he began to weep. c The fact was noticed, and directly a gentleman said. t "Ah ! poor lad.

LESSON I, FOURTH QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, OCT. 4. Text of the Lewon, I Kings L 88-89. Memory Verses, 88-30 ? Golden Text, X Kings U, 3?Commentary by the Rex. D. M. Stearns. 28. "Then King David answered and laid, Call me Batlisheba. And she came Into the king's presenoe and stood before tho kinBathsheba (daughter of an oath) was the mother of Solomon or Jedidlab (II Sam. zli, 24, 25). The occasion of her being 6ent for at this time was a matter oonoerning the throne and the kingdom, as fully described In the first part of this ohapter. The troubler of Israel was now Adonljab, the fourth son of David (II Sam. ill, 4). His name signifies "Jehovah, my Lord," but his notions said, I am my own master, and I'll master others too.. Like Absalom, he is against the king and the kingdom and suggestive of antichrist. 20. "And the king swore and said, As the Lord liveth, that bath redeemed my soul out of all distress." Although on his deathbed, he had no fear, for he could say, "Bless tho Lord, O ray soul, who forglvetb all thine iniquities, who redeemeth thy life from destruction!" (Ps oiii, 4, 5.) His comfort in his dying hour was not that he had been faithful, or lived a porfeot life, but it was in the living God and His faithfulness, of whom he said, "Although my house be not so with God, yet hath He made with mo an everlasting oovenant ordered in all things and suro" (II Sam. xxlli, 5). 80. "Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and ho shall sit upon my throne in my stead." This was tho Lord's I appointment, as fully stated in I Cbron. xxil, 0, 10, and in chaptor xxvlii, 6, David [says, "Of all my sons?for the Lord hath given me many sons?He hath chosen Solomon, my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel." When the queen of Sheba came to see Solomon, sho said, "Blessed be the Lord thy God, whloh delighted in thoo to sot thee on His throne, to be king for tho Lord thy God I" (II Chron. ix, 8.) No earthly throne was over called the throne of the Lord, exoopt that at Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall .vet be tho throne of the Lord for the bonefit of all nations, notwithstanding all anti-Christian hatred (Jer. ill, 17, 18). 81. "Let my Lord King David live forever." Thus said Bathsheba. Compare I Sam. z, 94, and margin, and also Neb. 11, 8; Dan. 11, 4, etc. David still lives with Christ In glory, awaiting the resurrection of bis body, unless bo rose from tbo dead In the company of Matb. xzvil, 52, 68, which does not Beem probuble from Acts 11, 29, 84. Our great oowfort as bollovers is that He who onoe died for us on Calvary is alive forovermoro, having all power in heaven and on earth, and because Ho lives we live also (Rev. 1, 18; John ziv, 19). 82. "And King David said: Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benalah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king." All are at his bidding, whether wife or officers or servants, for any manner of service wholly at his commandment (I Chron. zzvlii, 21). The kingdom was well represented by those now assembled, the king, priest and prophet and one of the leading mighty men (II Sam. xxill, 20). Our Lord Jesus Christ Is all In one. 88. "Cause Solomon, my son, to ride upon mine own mule and bring him down to Gihon." It was foretold of David's groater Son that Ho should ride upon a oolt, the foal of an ass (Zeoh. iz, 6), and this Ho actually did. It is foretold of Him that He will oome upon a white horse, aooompanied by all the armies in heaven, to overthrow His enemies and establish His kingdom upon the throne of David, and this He will surely do (Rev. ziz, 11-16; Isa. iz, 6, 7; Luke i, 82, 88). 84. "And lot Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him their bln? rtvnr Israel and blow ve with the trumpot and say, God save King Solomon!" The anointed of the Lord from the first use of the phrase in I Sam. 11, 10, 85, points to Him who Is truly the Lord's anointed, and of whom all anointed priests and kings are but foroshadowlngs. 85. "He shall be king In my stead." Those words "in my stead," found also In verse 80, along with the words In verse 88, "ride upon mine own mulo," emphasize very strongly that David's plaoe was to be taken by Solomon. The words in Gen. xxll, 18, "in the stead of his son," show bow truly tho ram took Isaac's plaoe as a sacrifice, and just as truly the Lord Jesus Obrist took our place to Buffer in our stead. Ho took our place that we might take His (II Cor. v, 21). 86. "And Benalah the son of Jebolada answered the king and said, Amen; the Lord God of my lord the king say so too." This is a proper attitude of a servant to a king, saying amen to what the king says, heartily one with him in all ho says and does. What happy people Christians would be if as in the days of David "whatsoever tho king did pleused all the people" (II Sam. ill, 86). As believers It Is our privilege to think God's thoughts, oat His words and be hear'ily one with Him In ovorything. Othorwiso we cannot walk with Him (Amos ill, 8). 87. "As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so ho be with Solomon." The seoret of any success of David was that, "the Lord was with him" (II Sam. v, 10; vll, 8; vili, 6, 14). It was even so of Moses and Joshua and Gideon and Jeremiah (Ex. ill, 12; Joshua 1, 5; Judg. vt, 16; Jer. 1, 8), and as if itinoludod all else, It was one of our Lord's parting words before He ascended, "Lo, lam with you all tho duys" (Math, xxvlli, 20, R. V., margin). I often think that It Is the greatest of all the promises.for this present life. 88. "So they oausod Solomon to ride upon King David's mulo and brought him to Gihon." They did as they were oominandod. Thus did Noah and Moses and Joshua, and thus do all the faithful. If wo are only willing and obedient, we shall eat tho good of the land (Isa. 1, 10), but if we refuse and rebel It will be 111 for us. Whon we have dono as we are told, that is onr part and results are with Him of whom it is written, "The Lord of Hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought so shall It come to pass, and as I have purposed so shall it stand" (Isa. xiv, 84, 27). 80. "And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabornaole and anointed Solomon, aud they blew the trumpot, and all tho people said, God save King Solomon." Thus the kingdom was established in the man whom God appointed, and the purpose of the Lord was thus far performed. Th?< people rejoioed with great Joy, and the city rang again (verses 40, 45). Adonljah begged for his life, and it was given him on conditions (verses 50-58). Every boliever is an anointed priest king. Let us walk worthy of such a high calling, bringing glory to Him who hath called us V3T Heroism and cowardice are not synonymous with fearlessness and fear. A hero fears to do wrong; a coward fears to do right. A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man than this, that when the injury began on his part the kindness should begin on ours. Jatm and gitetiAe. SOWING RYE. A field of rye sown so that a thrifty growth is made in good season furnishes good winter pasturage. All things considered, there is no crop that will stand so much winter feeding down as this. In order, however, to get the largest benefit, care should be taken to sow in good season, having the soil in proper tilth in order that a good growth can be secured before cold weather sets in. The seed should be scattered evenly over the ground in order to secure an even stand. In many cases a very good plan is to sow the rye among the standing corn, working it into the soil with a five-shoveled cultivator. Or, the corn can be cut off and stacked up, and the ground worked over with a good disc barrow or cultivator. In addition to the pasturage, rye is one of the very best crops to build up the laud. It can often be grown on land so poor that it will not make clover, and when land has been crop pea ao\VD, one 01 vne oesi; pmua i? iu seed it to rye in the latter part of the ( summer or very early in the fall. It ( can be pastured all winter, and then ( in spring be allowed to make a fair ( growth, and then plowed under and ( the ground sown to buckwheat. , This can be turned under not later than the first part of June, and a second crop be sown that will make sufficient growth to turn under before frost. This will make three crops that can be turned under iu a little more that a year, and will leave the ground in good condition to grow a crop. Rye can also be sown early in the fall, pastured during the wiBter, then allowed to make a good growth and be plowed under and corn be planted. In many cases a growth can be plowed under this way without the loss of a a regular crop. If the fertility of the soil is to be kept up, not ouly must all the manure possible be saved and applied, but every opportunity must be taken to plow under a green crop. Even then, in many cases, it will pay to use com- mercial fertilizers. The larger the yield of the crops the more food, and the more feed grown the larger number of stock it is possible to keep, and the more manure can be made. With sheep, and in fact all kinds of breeding stock, rye is most ] valuable for the reason that it supplies green food at just the time when it is most needed. When the ewes are ' bred for early lambs with the intention nf rpnrhinir t.he parlv market, a eood patch of rye on which they can be lurned in the spiing will be found . valuable. Sow five pecks of seed, if the seeding is done in good season, i and six pecks if for any reason the seeding is delayed. On nearly every i farm where stock is kept a patch of ^ rye sown where it can be pastured can j be made to pay.?The-Republic. * j USE AND ABUSE OF THE LEMON. , A bilious attack may be soon overcome by taking the juice of one or two lemons in a goblet of water before ? retiring and in the morning before rising. When taken on an empty stom- ( ach the lemon has an opportunity to work on the system. Continue the use of them for several weeks. Lemons are an excellent remedy in pulmonary diseases. When used for lung trouble, from six to nine a day . should be used. More juice is ob- , tained from lemons by boiling tbeija. I Put the lemons into cold water and bring slowly to a boil. Boil slowly until they begin to soften; remove from the water and when cold enough to handle squeeze until all the juice J is extracted, strain and add enough loaf or crushed sugar to make it sweet. Add about twice as much sugar as there is juice. This preparation may j be prepared one day to last three or . four days, but it must be kept in a ^ cool place. T I..! a A ?UL ijemuu juice aweeteueu witu iuai ui crushed sugar will relieve a cough. For feverishness arid an unnatural thirst, soften a lemon by rolling on a hard surface, cutoff the top, add sugar and work it down in the lemon with a fork, then suck it slowly. Hot lemonade will break up a cold if taken at the start. Make it the . same as cold lemonade, only use boiling water, and use about half as much sugar. A piece of lemon or stale bread i moistened with lemon juice bound on * a corn will cure it. Renew night and i morning. The first application will J produce soj-eness, but if treatment is r persisted in for a reasonable length of I time 4 cure will be effected. The dis- l comfort caused by sore and tender feet I may be lessened, if not entirely cured, ; by applying slices of lemon to the feet. : To cure chilblains, take a piece of lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it, and rub the feet well. Lemon juice will relieve roughness [ and vegetable stain on the hand. Af- i ter washing the hands in hot soapsuds f rub them with a piece of lemon, r This will prevent ({happing, and make | the hands soft and white. i To Prevent Loss by Frost.? 1 George A. Fleming, a Visalia fruit [ grower, has invented an apparatus to { overcome danger from frost in the orchards, which he claims has proved [ successful. There is no danger from L frost except when the air is perfectly [ still. This fact has been taken advan- j. tage of, and the scheme has been to f produce a sort of artificial fog which & should envelop the trees and keep up the temperature. Mr. Fleming gives the following description of his apparatus: "We build wire frames ou low f truck wagons, stretching them from four wagou stakes, and heaping wet manure over them, dirt was thrown on the wagon beds to protect them, a uDd pots of burning tar were set underneath the straw roof. A barrel ol water on the wagon was used to keep the straw wet. These wagons were driveu about and did the best work, as they could go wherever most needed. The smoke and vapor were car- ^ ried to the rear as the wagon moved, and being at once out of the rising heat, fell close to the gouud in a long, white trail. At daylight our whole J 400 acres of orchard were covered with b< a white fog extending from the ground ?' about 20 feet high." Mr. Fleming is F an experietfeed orchardist and his ex periment is a valuable ODe, especially Dn the Pacific coast, where a half-degree rise in the temperature means the saving of millions of dollars to the state.?American Agriculturist. How to Eat a Banana.?And now ;omes a woman, who has long resided in the tropics as a missionary's wife, to tell us, according to the Philadelphia Record, how to eat a banana digestialy. When you 4ave stripped off the willing rind, just scrap off the stringy ind hairy coat that lies beneath the rind, and you may eat your banana without tasting it all the rest of the lay. This word should be passed ibout widely. An orchard which is so large ;hat manure cannot be had with which *> fertilize it is seldom a profitable part of the farm. It pays to raise only jo many trees as one can raise well. SVe occasionally hear of good farmers jutting down a part of their orchard so that they can put more manure and nore attention on the remainder.

COUNTY, RAILWAY, DISTANCE, STATE MAP OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THIS new Map of South Carolina has just been completed and has no equal. It was constructed by the most accomplished dranghtsmen and engravers; is based on government surveys, omciai railroad information and other authentic sources. Unequalled in accuracy, it is newer in design than any other, and is the only map of the State sold at a reasonable {nice. Each township is colored separatey in sea shell tint colors by the band and stencil process and named. The counties, including the new county of Saluda, are plainly outlined and the principal wagon roads all over the State are shown, also the canals. This is also the most complete railroad map of South Carolina ever published, as it gives the entire railroad system oi the State with the correct distance between every station marked with figures from official railroad guides. The names of the railroads are printed on them; thus we can tell what railroad to take to go to any town or place, and the correct distances, shortest road, and cost of travel between any two places. This map locates each postoffice, including those most recently established. It gives the population of towns and counties, also of the State according to the last census and a brief historical sketch of the State with views of Charleston and large scale map of Charleston Harbor from recent government survey, making it the latest and most valuable map of South Carolina ever published.

BRYAN AND SILVER. THE National Campaign now begun will be of more absorbing interest than any since 1876. The contest will extend to every State North and West, and Massachusetts will be as debatable ground as Michigan. The Democratic standard-bearer, William J. Bryan, will take the flag of Free Silver into the very citadels of Gold, and from first to last the struggle will be sensational. There will not be a dull week from now until November. THE STATE is the Leading South Carolina Newspaper supporting the National Democratic Ticket and the National Democratic Platform. It is the admitted champion of the great issue of Bimetallism, upon which the battle will be fought. It has always been a good newspaper, and will be better than ever during this struggle. It will keep the people of South Carolina closely informed of the progress and prospects of the campaign. No Democrat seeking Democratic news and doctrine can alfora to be without it. CAMPAIGN RATES. To place it within the reach of everybody, The Daily State will be sent from this time until November 10 to any address for $1.75, and The SemiWeekly State for 40 cents. The reduction is great, and to get the full advantage of it subscriptions, with the cash, should besentat once. Address THE STATE, Columbia, S. C. August 5 63 tf STILL WITHOUT A K1VAL.
