.Sunday School Mhm Meeting.
A sunday school mass meeting of
all denominations will be held on
Wednesday night, February 29th
at the First Baptist Church, in this
city, at 8 o'clock, to hear Mr. Rev
nolds. President of the Internation
al Sunday School Association. A
number of the ministers of the city
have consented to dispense with
their regular church service, on that
night, and thus give an opportunity
for all to hear Mr. Reynolds. This
gentleman will address the meeting
on the subject of a State Sunday
School Association, and kindred
topics, and is represented as a splen
did speaker, and what is . better, an
earnest worker. His meeting at
Charlotte was large and enthusias
tic and at Greensboro over 300 per
sons were present and many pledg
ed themselves to attend a State Sun
dav School Convention, to be called
at an early date.
Junior Kecliabltes.
The interesting references made
by our Washington City correspon
dent a few days since, to the Inde
pendent Order of Rechabitesandthe
good work they accomplished here
in ante-bellum days, has attracted
much attention to their successors
of the present day, and the- benefi
cient effects which this truly noble
Order is having on the youth of the
land. The amount of good which
has been effected by the lodges vjf
this Order in more ways than one in
our midst is truly incalculable.
The latest phase of their benevo
lent activity is seen in the establish
mnt of an organizedTent of Junior
Itcchabites. This new Tent has
been in existence less than a year
and yet it already numbers many
active, influential members. Jt is
composed of youths between the
ages of 13 and 18 years and there is
a m X . 1 1 -JL
a benevolent ieature aitacueu to
the organization, which is a stipula
ted sum weekly to all members who
may be disabled by sickness or acci
dent. The initiation fee is only 2.J
cents and the monthly dues but 10
cents. The weekly benefitin case
of sickness, is $1.50. There are now
three members of the Tent sick and
these are receiving the weekly ben
efit. The meetings are held on
Monday night of each week at Tem
perance Hall, on Third street, oppo
site the City Hall, and are attended
by a Board of Guardians, appointed
by the Primary Tent, and composed
of Past Chief Rulers of the Order of
Rechabites, whose province it is to
keep order at these meetings and to
supervise the affairs of the Junior
Tent. This Board is no w: composed
of Capt. C. Tu Cowles antT'liessrs.
G. S. Willis and F. W. Hewitt, who
will cheerfully furnish all informa.

Order.

"Bkn Burton, the Slatepickkr,"
by Harry Prentice. No. 0 of the
"Boy's Home Library." paper,
12mo. Price, 25 cents. Published
by A. L.. Burt, 1G2 Williaui St.,
New York. i
The extraordinary popular success
of the "Boy's Home Library' has
been due to the most excellent qual
ity of the stories which haye ap
peared in the series. Such men as
Horatio Alger, Jr., i' Harry Castle
man, Edward S. Ellis, James Otis
and others have each contributed
stories in their best vein,- and there
are no better written for boy. The
success of this "Boy's Home Li
brary" proves that parents want
ood literature to put into their
boys hands, and these publications
at a popular price exactly fill the
demand. No. 6, just issued, s "Ben
Burton, the Slatepicker," a jcapital
story of thePennsylvania coal mines,
full of pathetic interest and stirring

Mr. Hal Boattfrj ght's littfe boy,aged

nearly grown, who seized him, tied
him and gagged him and then turn
ed his pockets inside out! . taking
away from him what valuables h
possessed. They then left pim and
he lay there until he was found
lalf an hour afterwards. The facts
were promptly reported toj Chief of
