We learn that a boiler to a grain mill at the Fair grounds near Weldon, exploded on Saturday last, and the engineer, a colored man about fifty years of age, was so badly scalded that he is not expected to live.

A new flying machine to be made in Chicago is to be moved by the electric motor at a speed of forty-five or sixty miles an hour at an altitude of 8,000 feet.

The condition of ex-President Ar thur during last week was not such as ro give nis rrienas ana atTendants-any ground for the slightest hope of an ul timate change for the better. He was, if anything, worse than durincr the preceding week, and nobody except his tamiiy are allowed to see him. Mr. Arthur has given up all hope of recovering his health, but he is brave and patient, and believes that he can ward off the approaching end for a long time yet. Memorial . Day was observed at Danville, Va., and the Confederate graves were decorated near the Con federate monument in the National cemeterj-.

After the speeches the soldiers and citizens marched through the National cemetery and decorated the graves of the Union soldiers with bouquets. The May crop report of the depart ure at of Agriculture indicates an im provement in wheat growing in April of 2 per ceni. with the general aver age of condition at 95. There is no marked change anvwhere, but a slight advance is noted in the Ohio vajley, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, theCaro linas, Virginia and Maryland. The May average last year was 70. The ' season has. been favorable and cropi more advanced than usual. The ave rages in the principal states are: New York 96, Pennsylvania 65, Michigan 91, Ohio 97, Indiana 98, Illinois 92, Misssouri 101, Kansas 97. The condi tion of rye averages 96, barley 97. Cotton planting has been delayed by cold rains on the Atlantic coast and by overflows on the Gulf coast. The pro portion to be planted in May averages 20 per cent. In average years the proportion does not exceed 14 or 15 Ser cent. The stand is. necessarily efective on wet areas, but replanting is rapidly filling the gaps.1 The pro portions already planted are as fol ows : North Carolina 73, South Caro ina 82, Georgia 82, Florida 94, Ala jama 80, Mississippi 76, Louisiana 77, Texas 84, Arkansas '75, Tennessee 77. THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS. A Brief History of the General Convention. This body met this year at Mont gomery, Ala. Its territoiy embraces the Southern States, from Maryland to Texas, including, of course, Ken tucky and Missouri. It is the general representative body of the white Bap tists of the south : In 1845, owing to controversies about slavery, the Baptists of the South withdrew from active co-operation with their northern brethren and organized, in the -city; of Augusta, Ga., "The Southern Baptist Conven tion." Practically, therefore, the con stituency of the convention is limited to the white Baptists of the South; but there is nothing in the constitution of the body that draws the line either by territory or race. Any Baptist Church or body in the United States may have representation in the convention by complving with the terms of member ship. The convention is composed of dele gates from Baptist Churches, mission ary societies, associations or other bodies, on the basis of funds contrib uted to the benevolent objects of the convention. One hundred dollars contributed during the year to the funds of the convention entitle the contributor or contributors to one del egate, provided,of course, the delegate be a member in good ; standing of a regular Baptist Church, The purpose of the convention as stated in its con stitution, 4to elect, combine and direct the energies of the whole denomina tion in one sacred effort for the propa gation of the gospel." It is, therefore, in no sense a legislative body. It en acts no laws except for its own gov ernment. It promulgates no creed, and does not discuss matters of doc trine. It interferes with no church either in discipline or doctrine, but fully respects the independence of ev ery church in its bounds. In other words it has no ecclesiastical author ity whatever, and wants none. It is simply the representative of free and independent Baptist churches uniting in general organization for the spread of the gospel, as Baptists understand it, both in our own and foreign lands. The convention meets annually and appoints its Boards for the conduct of its work; hears the reports rpf their Boards for the preceding year and gives them instructions for their work dan . g the next year. This convention has at present only two Boards; one for foreign missions, and one for home missions. The for eign mission Board is located in Rich mond, Va., and is charged with the missionary work of the Baptists of the South in foreign lands. Its duty is to raise money from the churches for this work, and call for and send out mis sionaries. It has missions now in China, Africa, Italy, Brazil and Mex ico. The Home Mission Board is located at Atlanta, Ga., and is charged with the work of spreading the gospel in needy and destitute portions' of our own land, mcludidg work done among the Indians and colored people. The meeting of this convention this year is one of importance. There is urgent need for enlargement of work by boih the Boards, and yet the con tributions of the churches are far too small for the demand. The number of delegates in attend ance varies from year to year, but is usually five or six. hundred.

RICHMOND, VA. mayl3 1886-tf THE ENGRAVING IS laplently Execnted ail : Tastefolly Wrought in 6 Colors. The portaits cf the com.iianders are clear and striking, accurate and life-like. They were produced by eminent artists from photographs furnished by the surviving heroes, and by the relatives and friends of those deceased. The engraving is superb in the display of att. clear and vivid in outline, and the grouping of the portraits at once convince the mind that the artist possesed an originality of conception never before equalled. The Historic Gray Uniform, the Gold Buttons, Stars and Braid on Collar, (denot ing rank), stand out in bold relief from the beautiful back ground, each portrait is made in imitation of a large Imperial Cabinet Photograph (4 x 6 inches,) distinct in every respect from the portraits surrounding it, yet so superior in conception, execution and harmony of colors that it defies criticism. The Commanders represented on the engraving are : Robert E.Lee, T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson, Gk T. Beauregard, Fitzhugh Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, A. S. Johnston, Stirling Price, J. A. Early, J. B. Hood, R. S Ewell, James Longstreet, Wade Hampton, W. J. Hardie, A. P. Hill. J. E. B. Stuart, Braxton Bragg, E. Kirby . Smith, J. C. Breckinridge, Leonidas Polk and Admiral Raphael Semmes. Only a few of these great heroes are now living, and all of them were great, as' Commanders of the' Armies of the Confederacy, and they thus became endeared to the hearts of the people of the South. Every Confederate Veteran served under one or more of these Gallant, Leaders, and they and every true Southern Patriot should possess one of these elegant souvenirs. The engraving is appropriate for the parlor, library, hall or office, and will compare favorably with, the finest paintings. The Portraits are Printed on one sheet of Heavy Plate Paper, beautifully Tinted (ready for framing), size, 22 x 29 inches, and will be sent to any address on receipt of Price, $2 OO.

The Valley Mutual Insurance Company was organized about eight years ago, by some leadiDg business men in the city of Staunton, lor the purpose ol turnishing reliable insurance at as low rates as pos sible. Its success has been unprecedented, far exceeding that ot any Company ever before organized in the South It has is sued over 8,000 policies, aggregating over $15,100,000 of insurance now in force. It has met all of its losses promptly in the past, and is abundantly able to do so in the future, and is now in a splendid finan cial condition , hay ing a reserve of $1C 8,000 well invested. It has paid out to widows and orphans over $500,000, and the records at Raleigh will show that it has the largest income and pays more taxes than any Company operating in the State, with one exception. In verification of the above statements, I refer to the National Banks, and any of the leading business men of Staunton, Va. Notwithstanding these facts, malicious and designing persons are going through the State defaming the Company and trying to destroy its usefulness. I call on our policy-holders to stand firm, and give. me the names of the slanderers, and the special charge they make JSPLiberal terms made with Agents.
