Editor Star : Won't you please open your batter ies against that colloquial abomina tion of the age, which is fast creeping into general use "Tot Know." Sample that or tne cuaDouoai pnrase alluded, to, you know. Do you know whence 'the vile thing oame ? My own idea is that it is, like that other -nuisance, the English, sparrow, a cockney importation, you know. Of Bourse you know, that Bow street ge nus of the bloody Briton is not taken as a type, you know,ot the cultivated, thinking English gentleman, you know. Some may think the above an ex aggerated specimen of nineteenth - century aotage colloquialism. uu so far from it the attempt at imita tion puts me to the blush. I have only been able to interpret the detest able diasvllabio seven times in about as many lines. An accomplished con versationalist (! 1) (Heaven save the mark and spare me the lie 1) would, in the saloon or parlor, have man aged to whip it in seven times seven, in this age of scintillating platitude and commonplace. Upon my shelves are ranged most of the great English essayists, with whom I'm better acquainted ' than with "the Fathers," and yet for the life of me I cannot recall a single instance in which this vile concatena tion of abominations occurs in Toiler or Spectator, Bambler,Mirror,Lounger, Idler and so on, although they were and are supposed to be English, yon know. Fancy poor Dick Steele, after a night of revelry, and afraid to meet . "Dari- Pme" at his own fireside. dropping in to make penitential con fession to his friend, sententious Jo seph Addison, in this wise: "Sir Jo seph, you know, that Bill Congreve, and Mohun and I, you know, stepped in at the Boar's Head, you know, to take a glass together, you know, and we all got drunk together, you know;" so on and so on, ad nauseam. The reply might have been somewhat in this strain : "Friend Richard, from the frequent recurrence of thy newly devised conjunction, I do opi tnat the . spirit of sobriety nas not yet resumed n"ry over thy feeble in telicf"" Or if old Sam Johnson had ' asserted his kingship at that day and been a prior comer, hear his blast : "Out npon thee, you drunken dolt, to murder the King's English after tnat fashion." And yet by my faith 1 do aver that tb e supposititious j argon ft rionf Tlinlr a Tint, n. -fo Trr.a-t7 nrtriji new-fangled recital; and furthermore, do hold that any one who must needs .have recourse to such a halting post to conceal his want of thought, has no right to express himself in the lan guage of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton. It is the most expressive dia lect of the world, and ought to suffice as a vehicle of thought, where thought exists; and where it does not, no one has the right to consume so much val uable time of others by the continual introduction of the senseless, inane, ridiculous mode of speech referred to. Let every one of the tribe keep silent in the meeting until he knows what he wishes to say and then say it, and not presume overmuch upon what "you know.'" It's an absurd waste of breath and time to tell you what "you (al-rea-eLy) know.n JLHoping that the above crude sug gestions may bring your bread-axe into play, I am yours, affiictedly, W- Q- Ex-Prcsldent Davis's Latter.

A Baptist brother recently said of another Baptist brother : "No man or angel could devise any plan for doing good which would please him. lie always pro fesses profound sympathy for the cause. but 'regrets' that this particular plan 'does not commaiiu his 'approval, ana hence, or course, he cannot give to. it.

There are men like that, brother in almost every community. Richmond Religion Herald. Dear, tired ones if we would have our pathway brighter we must take Qod into our lives as a living, loving per sonality. Not a far-off. Divine substance. taking cognizance of us only in a general way; but our own individual friend. Listen. 'Like as a father pittieth his children, so the Lord pittieth them that fear Him." And, ' Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for bis friends." Infinite love dictated those words for our encouragement. Then let us look beyond the clouds and the darkness, beyond the unrealized ambitions and yearnings, to the actual, earnest work, the blessed possibilities, the hopes sweet and tender that are nettling in our hearts, and, above ail, to that strong and abiding promise, "There rematneth, therefore, a rest for the people of Ood." ChrUtian at Work. How different people come into the kingdom of heaven. We were at a prayer meeting the other evenine, when the pastor asked those present to state in a single sentence the direct occasion, so far as they could determine it, of their coming in to Christian life. Fifteen or twenty testi monies were at once forthcoming, and it almost be said that no two were precisely auae. a motnera prayer and effort, a Sunday school teacher's word in season, a Bermon in a tent, the tender interest of a pastor, a scries of sermons published In a newspaper these were a few of the human instrumentalities to which the speakers ascribed their conversion. The substance of their testimony was, in short, that they bad become Christ's followers because, a long or short wbUe ago Bomebody bad cared enough for their souls to point them to Eita.The Congregationalist.

"Hail to the King I What a thought it was when God thought of 'Bam' Jones! I hope there ia no patent on him, and that heaven will turn out more of such make. No liv ing man could have stirred San Francisco as be has. Through the rugged ram's horn of his eloquence what a message God de livers to tbe world I I have heard Mr. Beecber, Jefferson Davis, W. L. Yancey, Bishop Pierce, ttarvn. Taken for all in all, I have never heatd as complete a master of nineteenth century eloquence as 'Sam' Jones. 'Bam' Jones as an orator and Thomas Carlyle as a writer must have been twin idea in the divine mind. Others sur pass him in reach in one direction, but this man can run tbe whole gamut of one's be ing. He can strike an audience on more iidtis and in quicker time than any man I ever heard speak. Booth and Barrett can not stir with Shakespeare the frivolous Ban Francisco as did this John the Baptist with an open Bible."

CRUlb&K CUA.KLKSTON Ttoe Trial Trts 8Ufaietrv 0.' i By Teleirrauli to th HonUme 8r. ' V Sasta. Babbajia, 0ai4 May . 9 The United States cruiser Charleston arrived here for her trial trip last evening, making under easy steam during the last portion of her trip a little more than 14" knots per hour The cruiser left Mission Hock in ; San Francisco Bay at 5.48 o'clock Tuesday morning. In the circular bulwarks, fore and aft, where eight-inch rifled guns are to be fixed in position and in sponsens for the accommodation of six-inch guns, were piled pig iron bars in sufficient number to repre sent the weight of her powerful guns. The brass railings and mountings lacked polish, while a great portion of the wood and metal work was covered with tarpaulins for pro tection. Lanterns were suspended in the ward rooms and passage-ways for lighting purposes, in lieu of the electric light plant, which is not complete.- Apart from these ''features which had no bearing upon the working capacity of the cruiser, she was in readiness to attempt the du'y as signed her of developing seven thousand horse power by her two compound engines for four consecutive hours a more severe test, it is claimed, than any to which ships of war are usually subjected in making a test of power and speed. - The cruiser was in command of Capt. Charles M. GoodalL After her compasses had been satisf ac torily adjusted, the Charleston at 8 o'clock headed down tbe bay. .A strong south west wind, bad been Slowing, and there were heavy waves on the bay. She was soon in combat with a strong running sea. The engines had been gauged to forty revo lutions, which served to press tne ship steadily forward. Besides breaking for ward, water began to come over the star board side. The cruiser held steadily on, rolling very little, but dipping dowu sharp ly afvsr rising on a big -wave, lifting her stern bih in the air. During the roughest portion of the passage both screws at va rious stages were completely cut of - the water. During this rough passage 'Com modore Benham, together with Capt. Wat son, were on the bridge. At times the spray came over the breast work of steel, rising seven feet above the deck. At one timn iVio nhailsaton tnnk a din into the trough of the sea and immediately pushed into a second wave, which enveloped all on board The comb broke over the breast, flooding the officers on the bridge and hoist ing the brass stanch on on the forward deck out of position. At almost the same mo ment a wave broke fairly over the starboard side of the ship, followed by a second, hich completely flooded the main deck. She finally rode out to sea and encountered less boisterous seas. Naval officers were free to say that the Charleston had behaved handsomely, and that the test had been a severe one in the matter of her staunchness. Constructor Fernald remarked that in ten years' service she would probably not encounter a rougher sea or be subjected to a more severe test, as to her structural sea-going qualities. From ten o'clock until one in the after noon the engines were allowed to exhibit a little more power, and tbe cruiser's progress indicated an even rpeed of eleven knots. When off Santa Cruz the en' ginea were slowed down on account of a slight tendency to healing shown by the cross-head of the high pres sure cylinders, and ware .finally stop ped to put a sheer under the cross head to relieve this tendency. The engines were again started at 0 o'clock in the after noon and were run steadily to Santa Bar bara at gradually increasing speed without hnwinir further heatinir. Engineers' re ports show that in tne run irom can rau cisco ULfljMfraTFJarrMra not a joomal or pin Iv nrl without lar unA. with Ann ftrrontinn noted, to the entile satisfaction of the con tractors and the government engineers. The air-pump vacuum remained steady at twenty-seven inches during the run. Du ring tbe four hours' run from off Point Brnebon to Point Coception. ending at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the speed of the ember averaged thirteen and three' tenths knots per hour. - From Point Con ception to Sinta Barbara the engines were maintained! at steadily increasing speed, and the cruiser exhibited a maximum speed of fourteen and twelve-hundredtha knots per hour during the last stage of the run to this port. A decision will probably be reached to day as to what time the four-hour run to est the engines will take place. IX TEB-8 TA TK VOMMI8SIO N.

May 10 On tbe 10th of April last tbe Inter-State Commerce Com mission beard the complaint of Wm. H. Htard, colored, vs. the Gsorgia Railroad Company. The charges involved in the complaint were that in travelling over the defendant's road, from Augusta to Atlanta, the petitioner was compelled to accept second clats accommodations, being obliged to occupy a compartment car, although be bad purchased a ticket which guaranteed him first class accommodations. The Com mission, in an opinion by Mr. Bragg, tendered to-day, helds as follows t First. It is tbe lawful duty that a earner like the defendant owes to the travelling nnblic, in carrying out its rule of furnish ing separate cars to white and colored pas sengers on its line, engaged in inter state travel, to make them equal in comforts, ac commodation and equipment, without any discrimination. Second.- It is the lawful duty that a carrier, like the defendant, owes to tbe travelling public " engaged in inter-State travel over its line, to afford the equal pro tection of law alike to all such passengers, without regard to race, eolor or sex,against undue prejudice- and disadvantage from disorderly ' conduct on the part of other passengers or persons, Third. In fact in this proceeding it is held that the defendant violated the law in each of the foregciog respects as against the petitioner. COTTON CHOI OUTLOOK. Report from the Drparlment of Atti enltare. By Telegraph to tbe Horning Star. WASHiHdToK, May 10. Progress of cot ton planting ii reported in May by the De partment of Agriculture, as follows; ; On tbe the first of the month 87 per cent, of the proposed area was planted. This is one point earlier than the average of a series of years. Only Virginia, North Carolina and .Florida report planting slight ly later. The percentages are North Carolina 74, South Carolina 86. Georgia 87, Florida 94, Alabama 87, Mississippi 88, Louisiana 99, Texas 90, Arkansas 86. Tenessee i81. General average 87. The returns generally made the commencement of planting earlier. In many counties dry weather has prevented germination, and replanting became necessary. Some cor respondents note the fact that an early be ginning does not insure an early end ing. ; Complaints of - retarded germination are common eat of tbe Mississippi, and in Texas the delay of planting and germi nation and of retarded growth and cultiva tion from excess of rain of that planted in February.

Sasta Babbaba, Cal.. May 11. The U. B. Cruiser Charleston was prevented by tog yesterday frcm attempting the four hour run prescribed by the Government. but she put to sea during the' afternoon and attained an estimated speed of seven' teen knots, with her propellers making 101 revolutions to the minute It has been de termined to run over . a -course of about eighty miles, extending from Point Con ception south to a point below Yentura in order to accurately determine the distance covered, apart from the records made by tne log on tne abip. The members of the Naval Board watched the conduct of the cruiser from tbe bridge and from the free board fore and aft, while others noted the record by the lng indications. When the announcement was made that the ship was moying at the rate of seven teen knots per boar, it was regarded as im probable, as it exceeded the highest hopes entertained ror tne cruiser, and provided she would maintain the same comparative rate under a roiced draught and her lullv developed horse power, - it promised to place her among the tpetdiest of her class many Davy. - . No official test could be made of the speed,and it will not go on record, and was accepted as an approximate test oi tne Charleston with one hundred revolutions of her engine and estimated development of o.ootJ norse power during the highest de velopintnt shown of the cruUer's speed. -; PI TT&B UHO'S SI OEM, Farther Particulars of tbe Great Flood Immense Amount of Property De iroyed Number of 1.1 vee X.oet.
