In the future no man will be granted a pensi.m un der that law nnlesp he estab lishes the fact that he is una ble by reason of his disabili ty to earn a support by man ua.1 labor.

Fearful Uesults of Mississippi Floods. VicKsm'tMi, Miss., May 29. .-There are ut least 10,000 homeless and hungry people in Kant Carroll, Mooi'house. West Carroll and Madison parishes, Louisiana, and the suffering and privations they are undergoing is appalling With thf exception of a few small elevations the whole of the northern portion of the State is under water. Forty- four negroes were rescue from a perilous position near Swan Lake, Fast Carrolton parish, Sunday night. They were almost insane from hun ger, ha ring been without food four days. Two children di ed Friday f r o m exposure Their bodies were wrapjn'd in blankets and thrown into the raging waters, there be ing no dry ground in w hich to bury them or implements with which to dig graves. An old hermit was rescued four miles from Swan Lake, who had been without fool for three days.

'. r.tlltor Pi'tiiiH i.it: Wiil you allow uie space in your paper tosay a f words relative to .he greatest evil of our land; that which i cut ling down oar young men who a rr- just in the prime of life; on whom the moral des tiny of the world depends; up on whose shoulders the ark of reform is hence to rest and in whose hands the torch of liuma n pi ogress is to be borne onward? It is intoxicating drinks. Yes. this evil which is invading oui country, and being handled and sold by our neighbors who claim to lehoiie-d, truthful and pro mi nent citizens of our country, ind who are able to be, but to the contrary they arcrob- )ing themselves of their char aeters and inlliience as true itizens. Of course we do not lenv their influiiee as in be- half of the evil, for their infill Mice is great in that respect. rhey wield so great an intlu nce over the young men of our country as to lead them from the royal path of duty )nd honor to destroy their peace nnd happiness togeth- r with that of their parents and friends. And not only the young men are they brea ling to shame and disgrace, ait causing the husbands and fathers to forget the du- tj they once delighted to ful fill. Here devoted womat. lends tohei direstafflictions. the measures of her woe are in truth full, when her hus bani is a drunkard. Who shall protect her when he is iei insnlter and her oppress- or ' v yen uer unused nearr. bleeds in secret and while the cruel nuthor of her u is tress is drowned in revelry, she lolds her solitary vigil, wait ing, yet dreading his return. She recalls the ardent lover, whose graces won her from the home of her childhood, and she asks if this can real ly be he, this sunken being, who now has nothing for her but the sot's disgusting bru tality? Had he died in the light of his goodness, bequea thing to '.lis family the inher i t a n ce of an untarnished name, then her tears of grief wouhl not also have been tears ol shame. Wretched maul lie has plaved him self in the hands of one who never pities. Then lost I lost! may be inscribed on t he door posts of Ills dwelling. Then we see the evil effects of this indulgence, and we ask if this question must still go un le cided. and whether the inher itance of our fathers must, be preserved or thrown away? Whether the enureses on the holy Sabbath day shall be crowded with drunkards? Whether profanity shall fill our streets and poverty our dwellings, convicts our pris ons and violence our land, or whether industry and tem perance shall be the stability of our times? Then I ask you my honorable neighbors and country men, shall we destroy the trafic of intoxicating poi sons, or shall they destroy us? Must we send liquor to his grave, or permit bi n to end a myriad of our com rades to tbeirs? Shall we permit the fair bride of to- : :- - --- l.i v to Imtihiip the It't ln t iilow of to-morrow? Shall wc stand idly by jiiu! -e thp nobles of our brotherhood ITO doAII to (lillkllf'fM Mtl'l dis jrrice? Shall we MiPVr thi monster to rein aial dwell hcin I'forth w ith us, or Khali we join in a solid phal-iux hand in hand and struggle against, it? Friends, the des tiny of millions hang upon our answer. The determina t i o n of this question de mands great plainness of speech, as well as earnestness in action. Let us learn t o speak right out. The press that is s;lent on thistopicde serves n place equal to that of the drukard. The legisla tor who has not studied it is unworthy of I he seat ho in cumbers. Comrades in this sublime warfare, let us press forward with our age, let us wear a bright link in the his tory of our country, l ur thennore, I wish to tender my respects to my neighbor hood, and I think all I have said will meet ivith their ap probation, with a very few exceptions, lint tl.eseexjep- tians who do engage or aid in the sale of blockade whis key, who are destroying the morals and blighting the prospects of our young men and who are trampling the laws undr which we find pro tection, and which every good citizen should respect, a renot worthy of praise in the least. We hope they will soon reflect and meditate upon the past and allow the remainder of their lives to be spent in the defense of the cause ot tem peranennd morality. Young men, one word to you before I close. I hope you may con sider this diligently and turn your backs upou these block aders who are leading you to disgrace and ruin. Tito's. Grkku. Tlia Walilciisep A car load of these immi grants passed here last Mon day, p. in., enroute to the new homes provided forthem in Burke county, it is repor ted that twenty houses have been prepared and are ready for occupancy near theSouth Mountain.

May Kiss the "BU wy Stoat, The Irish village and Blar ney castle is one of the most unique attractions at the fair. Visitors whocaretogo to a little trouble may kiss the reproduced Blarney stone but, as at t he original castle, it is no easy feat to reach the magic rock. A winding stair way leads to the roof of the castle and from there the ad venturers may be lowered un til their lips press ngainst the famous slab that has been located in an almost in accessible place on the side of the building. Ex, 'l cannot Take I oar ouf.r The following touching sto ry is told by Mrs. W. T.Suth erlin, of Danville,, where Pre jidciit Pa vis' last headquar ters were last locj'ted. She said; ''When Mr. Duvis had been at our house for three" days he said that lie Could not impose on our hospitali ty longer, and made arrange meats to establish his head quarters at the old Benedict house, on Wilson street. I told him he might take his cabinet to anv place lie pleas ed, but as for himself he must be our guest so long ashe re mained in the ciU', and he yiel led to the request. He re- imained hero five davs after that time, and was, of course in a most anxious frame of mind, but was always plen ant and agreeable. One mor ning he and Mr. Sutherlin wont down town and soon re turned in an excited manner ami I knew something had happened. I met them at the door, and Mr. Davis told me almost in a whisper that Lee had surrendered and thut he: must leave town as soon as possible. "Making a, few hurried ar rangements, he offered h i 9 band to me to say good-by and I asked nun the ques tion: "Mr. Davis, have yoit any funds other thafl confed erate money ?" and he repli" ed in the negative. "Then," said I, offering him a bag of gold, containing a thousand dollars, "take this from me.'f I offered the money without having consulted Mr. Suther lin, but knew it would be all right with him. 'Mr. Davis took my liana! and the tears streamed down his face. "No," aidht. 'lean not take jour money. Yjii and your husband areyoung and will need your money, while I am an old man, 'nnd,' adding, after a pause, 'I do not think I shall need any very long.'' "lie then put his hahd in his pocket nnd took out a lit tie gold pencil, which he ask ed me to keep for his sake and I ha ve the little memen-' to now." New Source of Papsr. A company for the manu facture of paper from the contents ol the stomachs of slaughtered cattle In Chica go, says the Journal of Com merce, of that city, Mr. J. II. Bird has patented a process for the conversion of this ma terial into straw board. Vast quantities of this stuff now go to waste at the stock yards. The supply in theopin ion of Mr. Bird, from the Chi cago stock yards alone issuf ficient to keep a large facto ry in operation. The plant which will cost in the reigh hood of f250,000, will be lo cated under the Union Stock Yards. Ex. Rutherford Banner: "We have never missed an oppor tunity to yote for prohibi tion in whatever form it has1 been before the people. We aided once in trying to dis pose of the stuff by consum ing it, but our capacity was a failure so we wHl hencefor ward resort to outside meth ods for suppressing the evil'
