We would again repeat the suggestion
of a Chris'.mas exercise on the last after?

the children that Christmas does hot
mean a time to over eat and over drink
and frolic and commit crime. Teach
them that we are merely celebrating the
birth day of our blessed Saviour. Let us
do this with due respect and reverence
to Him. _
The Male Academy at Williamston is
in good bands, at least the news comes
that the patrons are very much pleased
with Mr. J." W. Gaines, the Principal.
He is a young man, but is up with the
progress of the times, and is doing a fine
work. Mis* Anna Dargan, of Greenville,
has been chosen as his assistant, and
will enter upon her duties in that capac?
ity the 1st of January, 1892. She is too
well and favorable known to need com?
ment. We congratulate the people of
Williameton..

BILL ARP
Has His Memory Stirred Up by General
Jackson's Speech.
Atlanta Constitution.
General Henry R. Jackson's recent ad
dress delivered in Atlanta before the
Young Men's Library Association has
impressed me more than any speech or
writing made in the South since the war.
I did not hear it, but I have read it aDd
pondered it aDd read it again. It has a
historical value that exceeds anything
that has been said or written upon the
subjec; of slavery and the slave trade. It
is safe to say that no other man could
have delivered it, for there is no living
man so familiar with the facts and whose
peculiar business it was to become famil?
iar with them. Let me say, farther, that
S3 an argument it is exhaustive and un?
answerable. Nothing more need be said.
As a literary and scholarly effort it is a
masterpiece of cultured thought and
beauty of expression. The truth is, I
was charmed and comforted, and my
thanks go out to the noble man who,
having passed his allotted age, was un?
willing to leave his people without put?
ting on record that defense of their fath?
ers that truth and honor required. Now,
let him depart in peace. Young men of
Georgia and of the South, have you read
this address? Have you got time and
inclination to read it? Do you wish to
know the trutLof history ? Do you wish
to cherish your Southern pride and have
established the good name and the honor
of your ancestors ? Had I been a mem?
ber of that Young Men's Library Asso?
ciation I would have moved the publica?
tion of a hundred thousand copies and
sent them all over the land North and
South and some across the waters to
Gladstone. Had I the authority I would
insist that every professor in every
Southern college, male and female,
should read this to his class and teach it
and linger and dwell upon it until the
truth it contains was established in the
minds of the pupils. I would declare it
a substitute for that portion of every
history that treats of the late war and its
causes.
I have long believed much that is sta?
ted iu this address and lamented that I
could not provo it. The data nor the re?
cords were within my reach, but I knew
enough to feel the sting of every reproach
that was cast upon us. In spite of
everything that we veterans could do or
say, Northern literature has insinuated
itself into our borders and poisoned the
minds of many of our youth. Northern
histories have crept stealthily into our
Schools and Colleges, and even the his?
tories of our own Southern meu have only
timidly and tenderly defended us for
fear of giving offense. Why should the
?historians smother the fact that slavery
began in New England, and the slave
trade was born there and rocked in her
cradle and was nourished and cherished
there long after they had sold us their
slaves and abolished -the institution?
Why smother the facts as established by
General Jackson from the records that
New England continued in the slave trade
until 1859 and eighty-five vessels left
New York iu 1859 and 1860 for the Afri
can coast and carried to Brazil over 30,
000 slaves? These vessels were owned
and equipped by capitalists of New Eng?
land, who had for half a century been
engaged in this business, and who, despite
and in defiance of Judge Story's charges
to the grand juries of his circuit, never a
man was prosecuted.
Friends, countrymen, read what Judge
Story, the great jurist, said in that charge
about the horrors, of the middle passage
and your blood will curdle in the veios.
Eugene Sue uor" Victor Hugo ever de?
picted (-uch horrible scenes?horrible
enough, as Milton says, to "create a soul
beneath the ribs of death.'" From 1807
down to 1860 New England vessels,
manned by-New-Eogland-eailorfl,- carried
on this trade, and as Judge Story's son
sayp, "many fortnnes were msde with the
blood money of the cargoes that survived
the awful horrors of the middle passage."
And they never stopped it until the war
began in 1861. Perhaps they are at it
yet if there is any market for the poor
wretches. Certain it is that New Eng?
land is every year doubling the quantity
of rum that she ships to Africa to sell to
the natives.
Now, in contrast to all this there never
was but one vessel in all those years that
was even partly owned or controlled by a
man from the South?only one, the little
yacht called the Wanderer?and she waa
built, manned and equipped in a North?
ern port. This vessel brought her little
cargo of black humanity to a Southern
coast, and immediately her officers were
pursued and arrested and imprisoned at
the instance of Southern men?a pro?
ceeding that would have never been in?
stituted in New England had tho offen?
ders and the offence been there instead of
Savannah.
No wonder that the God-like Webster
was disgusted with the greed and the
hate and tie prejudices of his country?
men. No wonder he said when they
threatened him: "A man cannot suffer
too much or fall too soon if he suf?
fer or fall in support of the liberties aDd
the coDstitution of his country."
No wonder that Franklin Pierce stood
by him and said: "Sir, if your party
overthrows you for this we will take you
up and lift you so high that your head
will touch the stars."
No wonder that when Nathaniel Haw?
thorne was asked if ho was in favor of
the war, ho replied: "I suppose so
but I don't see what we have to fight
about." Aod in 18G3, when he took a
manuscript of a book to his publisher,
with a dedication to his friend. Franklin
Pierce, the publisher ad vised him to leave
it out, because Pierce was opposed to the
war. Then Hawthorne replied: "It
shall go in. I will gladly sacrifice a few
thousand dollars than retain the good will
of such a herd of Jolts and meau-spirit
ed scoundrels."
No wondor thtt Emerson insisted on
tendering to the South 82,000,000 in pay
tnent for the slaves, as an act of justice
and as a substitute for war.
Ah ! we had friends up there?noble
men, but they ould not sign*-*he tide
They were helpless. The devil was run
ning the machine. The slave trade might
go on, and the money be paid for the car
goes, but Blavery was a sin against hi^h
j heaven. They brothered the men who
I brought them, but damned the men who
bought them. But Brazil was their mar*
ket after 18-10. Maryland and Virginia
ceased to buy. The South had enough.
The natural increase supplied her plan?
tations and a reaction of public sentiment
set in. The example of Jefferson and
Randolph in freeing their slaves was fol?
lowed by huudreds. The colonization
Society shipped thousands of manumitted
slaves to Liberia, but they did not go
willingly, and they perished soon after
they got there. It was a cruel exile into
the jaws of death. My father, as executor
of Major Water's will, sent thirty seven
of his slaves to Savannah, from whence
the colonization Society took them to
Liberia in 1849. They were well-provid?
ed with clothing and given $100 apiece
in gold. Thirty of them died within two
years and the other seven escaped by
strategy and came back to Georgia to live
with their old master's children. In I860
free negroeB were common all over Vir?
ginia. In 1861 we found at Winchester,
more freedmen than slaves. The Old
Dominion was flecked with them and the
sentiment was fast working Southward,
and but for the threats and bulldozing of
the abolition party, Southern slavery
would have passed from us by gradual
emancipation as advocated by Henry
Clay and Berrien and Joseph Henry
Lumpkin. The truth is that the blood of
the million who fell in the war ia upon the
abolition party and its followers?the
higher lawsaints who broke the compact
and were the first to set aside the consti?
tution and the laws and the decisions of
the higher courts in the government.
The fanatical, malicioua and mean spirit?
ed scoundrels, as Hawthorne calls them,
are up there yet exercising themselves in
their peculiar religion, which ia to abu3e
the South and preach temperance and
ship rum to Africa. We are reviving no
animosities against the Northern soldiers
who fought to preserve the Union, for
they had patriotic motives and followed
the lead of General Grant, who owned
slaves in Missouri and lived off of their
hire up to 1863. He has been sainted.
Fortune or fate cast him on that side.
The dice fell that way. His battle cry
was the "Union," but New Eugland de?
nounced the Union as a league with bell
and a covenant with the devil, and the
battle cry was "Free the negroes and turn
them loose to kill, burn ard to destroy."
What a disappointment awaited their
malicious desires and expectations?not
a hand was raised, not a firebrand was
lighted, but faithful, loving and true,
moat of them stood by their old masters,
and their wives and their children, until
freedom was forced upon them. Verily,
aa General Jackson says, a monument
should be erected to their loyalty that
should reach the stars.
And -now, Mr. Editor, I think I will
feel better, sometimes the" pent-up feel?
ings must be ventilated, indignation must
explode, or it will fester and corrode in
our vitals and blood poison our better
nature. Yes, I think I will feel better
for a good while. I will cultivate peace
and harmony with all who love it. There
are some signs up north that are comfort?
ing. A Northern man who fought on the
other side sends money to mark the grave
of a soldier, and an 111 in ia man writes
me that General John M. Palmer is not
even a member of the Grand Army of
the" Republic. Nobody seems to know
the John Palmer who raised all that
rumpus about the flag. A northern lady
writes a nice letter about her father, who
was killed at Chickamauga in 1863.. He
fell within the Confederate line, and his
sword and watch were taken. He was,
Colonel of the Thirty-eighth Regiment,'
Illinois infantry, and his name was Da?
vid Harvie Gilmer, of Pittefield, 111.
Thia lady would rejoice to find that
sword, and if any confederate veteran
haa.it or knows of it he will please inform!
me. '
And now it ia in order for the North
to act the gentleman and apologize and
shake hands and aay no more about flags
or rebellion or treason. We are ready
to forgive everybody except some.

How Indians Sell Horns.
At various stations along the Canadi?
an Pacific road in ABsiniboia and Alber
ta groups of Indians, chiefly women aud
children, are found on the platforms.
Sometimes they are rather picturesque
for the many colored rags that cover
them. But, as a rule, they are dirty,
squalid, and a sickly looking lot, and are
anything but attractive. A few men are
among them, and they are all engaged
in the not very lucrative occupation of
selling buffalo horns to the tourists. On
tbe plains they pick up the horns of the
noble departed bison. Then they set to
work improving the horns in such a way
as to destroy all their value to an intelli?
gent person ; for what ia the use to have
buffalo horns as relics of that departed
animal unless they are like the horns
that the buffaloes used to wear.
First the Indians scrape the horns
with a knife until the surface is com?
paratively smooth. Then they file
them for a long time, until they are
smoother yet. Finally they take a
stone and begin to polish, and keep up
tho process until the horns are a3 smooth
as glass and as black and shiny as a well
polished boot. Some travelers think tho
product is very pretty, and so tbe Indians
have an occasional customer. Some?
times they make a hat rack of r.cveral of
the horns.
A pair of fine horna brings from 75
cents to $1 50, and other specimens con?
taining several horns arc valued at from
$3 to?4. Of course the Indians will
ask a good deal more than they will
take. During the bargaining not a word
is spoken on either side. The Indians
pretend ignorance of English. If the
price is only ?2 the tourist offers only $1.
The squaw will shake her head, and fi?
nally he decides to do a little better. So
he shakes one finger at her, and then
crosses that finger with a finger of the
other, which means that lie will give
$1.50. After agood deal ofgostilations
on both Hides a bargain is at ruck.?Bos?

Stranger Than Fiction.
Atlanta Constitution.
Thousands of newspaper readera were
astonished a few days ago when it was
telegraphed all over the continent that
Dr. Talmage had made the Keeley cure
the subject of his Wednesday evening
talk in the Brooklyn tabernacle.
The great preacher knew what he was
about. After seeing numerous victimB
of the liquor and opium habits almost
snatched from their graves and recalled
to life, he felt that he could render a
priceless service to his fellowmenin call?
ing attejtion to this new triumph of sci?
ence.
Many months ago Editor Medill, of j
the Chicago Tribune, took Dr. Talmage's
view of the matter. He saw men more
dead than alive go to Dr. Leslie E. Kee
ley's Institute at Dwight, III., and return
iu three weeks restored to health, and as
vigorous mentally and physically as they
were in the days of their youth. The
veteran editor has a big heart. He re?
solved to try an experiment. Going to
work quietly he took six men who were
well known in Chicago as hopeless
wrecks, completely ruined by liquor and
opium. The men were sent to Dwight,
and Medill looted the bill. In lese than
a month six robust citizens returned to
the city and settled down to active work.
They were clear-headed, bright-eyed,
rosy checked, and able to do any amount
of work without fatige or nervous de?
pression.
After this experiment the Tribune edi?
torially endorsed the Keely cure. The
New York Sun then spoke a good word
for it, and other great newspapers fol?
lowed on the same line. It struck these
liberal minded journalist that the new
remedy promised bo much for the good of
mankind that it was their duty to make
its merits known, without making it a
matter of business in the advertising line.
Of course there are many busy people
who know little or nothing about Dr.
Keeley and his institute, and they will
naturally desire further information.
It is a wonderful story and it cannot
fail to interest every man whose heart is
in the right place. For more than
twenty years Dr. Keeley has been exper?
imenting with the bichloride of gold. It
has long been known as a powerful rem?
edy for all forms of nervous diseases, but
it was reserved for Dr. Keely to"develop
and make known the fuil measure of its
usefulness. The central institute at
Dwight now has over one thousand pa?
tients, and the branch institutes recently
established in other States have a rapidly
increasing patronage.
It has been estimated that not more
than 5 per cent, of the patients relapse,
and this is probably too large an esti?
mate. The history of two or three typi?
cal cases will give a very fair idea of the
treatment and its results. A man who
has been the slave of liquor or opium for
years goes to one of "the institute. with
his nerves completely shattered. Bichlo?
ride of gold is hypodermically adminis?
tered four times a day, with a nerve
tonic. When the patient feels that he
absolutely needs liquor he is given a
small dose at the institute, but in three
days time even the hardest drinker vol?
untarily refuses to touch the stimulant.
In a few days the patient feels that it
would be impossible to swallow a drop of
spirituous or malt liquor. He recovers
his natural appetite, sleeps naturally,
forgets that be has any nerves, and feels
that he is iu the best sense of the phrase
a new mu;i.
It makes do difference whether the
man suffers from the liquor, opium or
tobacco habit?the bichloride of gold
straightens him out and causes him to
voluntarily abandon every poison and
stimulant that be has been taking.
At Dwight may be found an assem?
blage of the brightest men .in the coun?
try?statesmen, capitalists and business
men.- So well satisfied are the patients
that they have organized a "Bichloride
of Gold Club," with 1,000 members.
The club ha* its regular meetings and ia
making known and popularizing the cure
at its own expense.
Will this wonderful remedy cure every
case? No, and its friends do not make
such an extravagant claim. Sometimes
a poor fellow becomes mentally unbal?
anced, or is overwhelmed by some great
misfortune; and loses all desire for life.
When a man gets in that fix he is hardly
responsible. But the majority?fully 95
per cent?feel aa they did in the bright
and hopeful days of their youth. They
suddenly realize that life is worth living,
and their will power restored to it9 nor?
mal strength is their safeguard through
the remainder of their lives.
Occasionally an attack is made upon
Keeley and his method-*. Some physi?
cians say that it is his duty to give his
secret tu the inedicnl profession, others
deny its virtues, and another class sim?
ply express doubt, and argue that such
marvelous cures are impossible. Then a
few temperance people take the grouud
that nothing but the power of the gospel
will cure a man.
Many of the greatest and most valua?
ble discoveries in science havo been bit?
terly opposed. After a satisfactory test
vaccination it, still denounced by thou?
sand*.
Dr. Keely and nis co werkers iu the
branch institutes understand the situa?
tion. They have resorted to scarcely
any advertising. The thousands of men
rescued from insanity and death by their
treatment are new scattered all over the
country, and no better adveitiseinents
could be desired.
Tho Keeloy institute here in Atlanta
started cut very quietly. Major W. J.
Houston, its president, is widely and
favorably known all over tho South.
The manager, Mr. W. W. Houston, is a
j gentleman who is rrcognized as a medi?
cal expert. The physician in charge,
Dr. ,T. W. Janes, stands high socially and
professionally, and his personal study of
tho Keeley cure at Dwight enables him
to speak with authority.
Some people have very vague ideaB
about the Institute and its work.
It is do sense au asylum, and the pa?
tients are under no restraint.
The patients lose no time from their
work or businen?.
Many of those treated'are from distant
cities and States, and some of them are
not victims of either liquor, opium or to
bacco. During recent years nerves pros?
tration and nerve exhaustion have^ict
ed many professional and business m^n.
They are not addicted to stimulants ?l,
opeals. These sufferers never fail to find s
speedy relief in the bichloride of gold
cure, and in a few dayn they feel that
they have nerves of iron, equal to any
strain.
Perhaps a new remedy was never sub?
jected to a closer scrutiny than the Kee
ley cure. Sensational newspapers pub?
lish every alleged relapse, and the three
or four cases found in the past year have
been thoroughly shown up. On the other
hand, there is hardly a large town in the
United States where the people do not
see every day one or more men in perfect
health, who, a year or two ago, were
nearly dead from the use of stimulants or
the exhaustion of their nerves.
The writer of this article has seen the
moderate drinker, the periodical drunk?
ard, tbe opium eater and the nervous
wreck all completely cured under this
treatment. A few may fall in years to
come, but the percentage will be very
small.
No man who gives the institute a fair
and honest trial is likely to relapse, un?
less organic disease has mastered him
and destroyed his will power. Occasion?
ally, too, there will be a patient who de?
ceives his friends and tbe physician by
pretending to try tbe cure, while all the
time his will combats it, and it is his se?
cret intention to return to his old habits.
Such a man naturally is not benefited as
a rule, although in some instances men
have been cured against their will.
Perhaps we are at last solving the liq?
uor problem. In most cases men drink
or take opium because their diseased
nerves force them to seek temporary
relief. When their nerves are restored
to their normal condition they are
alright, and canuot be persuaded to try
stimulants or opiates.
Every man who feels any interest in
the welfare of his fellows should look into
this matter and make up his judgment.
What is said here is purely voluntary?
such a discovery is beyond the province
of advertising, and its merits should be
freely made known to the world.
Broke Up His Own Funeral,
"I had the pleasure of reading my own
obituary notice," said a western man on
a visit to New York the other day. "I
was so sick that it was thought I would
surely die one night, and the doctors
gave up all hope of me a little after mid?
night. The reporters who came up to
see how I was, made up their minds that
I would be dead about the time their
papers went to press. They did not say
Mr. H-died early this morning; but
tbey said the doctors had given up all
hope at midnight, and tbey penned a
fifty-line sketch of my important career,
never thinking that I would be in posi?
tion to point out a few trifling errors in
it. You will, never know though how
queer it seems to read "what people say. of...
you after you are dead till you've tried
It"
"I suppose not," replied a Southerner,
"but I bad a curious experience with
death myself in Texas some years ago.
Yellow fever had got into our town and
was playing havoc with us almost before
we realized it. As usual a panic set in
and almost all those who were able to
move without sacrificing everything they
had did so. I decided to stay, and we set to
work to rig up a temporary hospital for
the victims. Before long yellow jack
struck me, too, and I lay on a cot in the
hospital I had helped to build. I was
pretty bad but not too bad to feel worse
when a rough coffin was brought in and
put under my cot to be handy f r me.
We lost no time in burying the dead ;
that was dangerous.
"Pretty soon I became unconscious?I
learned this afterward?and being taken
for dead was rolled into my handy coffin
and put into the hearse. The driver was
a negro who had been condemned to be
hanged and was taken out of jail and put
at the job of burying the dead under
promise of pardon if he survived. There
were no mourners to follow the body to
the grave. The mourners were busy try?
ing their best to keep out of the grave?
yard.
"The jolting brought me back to con?
sciousness, and your feelings at reading
your own obituary were nothing, I take
it, to mine when I realized that I was
going to my own funeral. The coffin had
been made in such a hurry of rough
boards that the cracks were wide enough
for me to see through, and one nail at the
foot and another at the head were all that
held the lid down. A couple of kicks
sent the lid up and I got out of my coffin
without much trouble, the excitement of
the occasion lending me strength. An?
other kick threw the doors of the hearse
open, and I stuck out my head and yelled
to the driver to stop.
"With-a yell of horror the negro leaped
from the hearse and started to run away.
The mule that was pulling us stopped
gladly euough, and I got out as best I
could and started out after the driver.
We were a long way out of town, and I
felt my strength giving out. When the
negro saw mo following him, he fell to
his knees, paralyzed with fear, and began
to pray to God, the devil and ray ghost
for mercy. I soon rcaciured him that I
was real flesh and blood, and persuaded
him to drive me hack to town. The
coffin we took out of the hearse and put
it upon lop, as I might want it yet, I
argued, and I lay down inside with the
negro's coat for a pillow, and we drove
elowly back to the hospital in that style.
"You may imagine the stir we created
there, but that was only one little inci?
dent in the plague, and it was soon for?
gotten. I recovered after awhile, but I
shall never forget my sensations as I
woke up to find myself nailed in a coffin."

A Visit to the Tlioruvfell Orphanage.
Having visited the Thornwell Orphan
age I wit,h to tell your readers o! my ob?
servations and impressions.
\Tbe orphanage is located at Clinton,
a plgasact and rapidly growing town in
Lauren! County, S. C, through which
three raufO&ds pas3. The most impor?
tant of the fkree roads leaves our own
State at ilouro&snd will be completed
to Atlanta, Ga., D^ore the opening of
the new year. It is\a well constructed
road, evidently intended- for rapid tran?
sit and heavy transportation)
The orphanage was founded in 1875,
by the Presbyterian Church of Clinton,
led forward in the enterprise by-that
wise and indefatigable worker, Rev.^W.
P. Jacobs, D. D., theu the young pastoY
of the church, and who is still pastor
of the church and president of the or?
phanage, too. The buildings, eight in
number, stand in a beautiful grove of
medium sized trees and on a plain almost
level, just inclination enough to make
drainage easy. The ground is covered
with native grasses, and intersected with
clean sandy walks. The buildings dif?
fer one from another in architecture and
materials of construction, but all are of
the most" substantial kind. Some are
built of granite, one of quirtz, and others
of concrete. The last makes an ex?
ceedingly stroDg wall being composed of
stones of every conceivable shape held
together by a liberal supply of lime mor?
tar, Where the materials are conven?
ient this makes a cheap kind of building.
The new domitory building of the Pres?
byterian College of South Carolina, now
in process of erection, is of this material.
This college, manned by energetic and
enterprising young men, occupies grounds
near the orphanage.
The buildings of the orphanage are not
crowded together, but separated by in?
tervals of various lengths, in some cases
I would suppose by a hundred yards or
more. Everything is arranged with ref?
erence to health and convenience. There
is no crowding anywhere, or of anything.
The chapel and school rooms occupy one
buildiDg. The kitchen, provision room,
dairy and laundry a third, and the print
ting office a fourth. The four remaining
buildings are occupied by the children,
a matron having charge of each cot?
tage.
The children are divided according to
sex and age. Boys over 12 years old
occupying one cottage, and those under
that age another?the girls observing a
like arrangement. All meet in the
dining ball, the chapel and school rooms,
but the inmates of different cottages do
not play together, or visit each other
without permission. Each cottage has
its own parlor, sitting room, guest cham?
ber, study room, bath room, &c, in other
er words is arranged not only for the
comfort and convenience of its regular
inmates, but also of friends visiting the
institution.
^The.diniDg hall deserves special men?
tion, being the most- admirable ^one - I
ever saw anywhere. A system of three
tiers of transoms on three sides, and run?
ning their whole length, gives light and
ventilation. When the transoms are
thrown in a horizontal position, which
can be done in a moment, there is noth?
ing to obstruct a breeze from any of
these points of the compass. On the
fourth side are rooms for receiving the
cooked food from the kitchen on the
floor below, and washing the dishes and
shelving them. So perfect was the ar?
rangement of the room, and so neat and
orderly the management of it, that there
is no use for a fly brush of any kind, for
there are no flies there. Before seeing
it I do not think I could have believed
that there could be a dining room in
this latitude in daily use by more than
a hundred persons, entirely free from the
annoyance of the flies in the month of
June.
The laundry is a two story concrete
building, in which the lower floor is oc?
cupied by rooms for drying the clothes
in damp weather and for ironing. The
washing is done on the second floor.
The water is supplied by a tank still
more elevated, which is filled by a pump
operated by a wind mill. By a system of
pipes water is supplied from two pumps
to all the buildings needing it. The
ninth building?two stories?for library
and reading room, is in process of erec?
tion?the material, grauite and concrete
Materials are collecting, too, for an ad?
ditional cottage, to be built by Georgia
funds, and to be occupied by orphan
children.
But the most admirable part of the
institution is the living part. One hun?
dred fatherless children are fed, clothed,
carefully taught and prayerfully guided
there. The moral tone of the institution
and social standing of the inmates are
the highest. These are secured by pru?
dence in the reception of the children
and great wisdom and the untiring care
in training them after their reception.
No child i* there who is not of legiti?
mate parentage, whose mother did not
lead a repnable life and whose father
is not known to be dead. Mr. Jacobs
tells mo Ibr t the same is true of bjth
Spurgeon's and Muller's orphanages as
he learned himself from the lips of the
illustrious serv-nts of God and benefac?
tors of their race. Ifau unworthy child
gains admittance, and proves irrespon?
sive to good training aud injurious to his
companion;-, he is quietiy retired. Dr.
Jacobs moves among the children as a
prudent ajd affectionate father. The
diliident aud less favored receive his
special attention, and if a warmer salu?
tation is giveu to any, these arc sure to
be tho recipients. The children visit in
the best homes in Clinton and their com
pauiouship is sought.
The school idea is made the prominent
one iu the institution from beginning to
end. Cuiliren are admitted it six years
of age, and the course of study embraces
eleven years. At graduation, diplomas
are given, and the holders of these can
easily obtain first grade certificates iu
the public schools as teachers. The
mornings are given to work and the eve?
nings to study.
But I cannot tell you, in reasonable
space, all I saw and all 1 felt. As I re?
tired from t.he place the inmost thought
of nij soul was, here is an institution
founded in love, guided by wisdom, biess
od of God und to stand for :'.-('BHHH
