Lenoir Topic The Injuries received by Sheriff Boyd in the tussle with Frank Torrence on Tuesday of last week were much more serious than was at first supposed. The sheriff has been confined to his room ever since the fol lowing day, and for the first day or two after the occurrence it was sup posed the injuries might prove fatal. The physicians thought two ribs were broken loose and the lining: over the lungs seriously bruised. His sufferings have been intense, but he Is better, and it is hoped he will be out In a few days. Baltimore Sun: Miss Nannie Branch Jones, of Raleigh, who has been ap pdlnted sponsor of the North Carolina division, United Confederate Veterans, at the next annual reunion, to be held at . Nashville, -Tenn., On the 22nd, 23d and 24th days 'of June riext, is a gTandr daughter of General Lawrence O'Brien Branch, who. was killed while com manding a North Carolina brigade In the battle of Antletam. Before- the war he served with distinction In the na tional house v of representatives. Miss Jones will In . due time appoint ten maids of honor. Greensboro Record: It seems that tramps and thieves are trying to pay back Mayor Nelson for sending their "pals" up for vagrancy. Anyway, some very nice work was done last night at two or7 "three places. The editors of the afternoon papers who met here yes terday completed" an organization, the temporary officers as announced yes terday being made permanent. The president, Mr. Dowd, of The Charlotte News, was authorized to correspond with different associations of news gatherers and see . what could be done in the way of securing telegrams. aleigh Press-Visitor: A telegram was received here yesterday morning by Major Charles D. Heartt, chief of police, announcing the death of Mrs. C. M. Pritchett, youngest sister of Mrs. Heartt, which occurred in Petersburg this morning. Mrs. Pritchett was a daughter of the late Governor 3 Bragg. A very interesting revival meeting is being held by Rev. R. H. Whitaker, the pastor, at Epworth chapel, near the Pilot mills. The Methodists built this church three years ago for the benefit of the operatives at the Pilot mills, and they now have a membership of 150, and a large Sunday school. Wadesboro Messenger: The latest . news as to who shall be Representative Martin's private secretary is that, after all, neither Mr. E. W. Flake nor his son Bob will get the place. Mr. Martin has, we learn, appointed his wife to ' the position. While returning home from Wadesboro Monday afternoon, Mr. Nevil. J. Bennett, of Lanesboro township, was thrown from his mule and painfully hurt. The accident oc curred near Mr. Ed. Leggett's, about four miles from town, on the ChSrlotte road, and was caused by the mule hit ting his head against a limb that pro jected, in the road, causing him to shy. Mr. Bennett ' was " very painfully in jured about the back. He was unable to rise, and . remained where he was thrown for two hourss when Captain J. C. Lashley happened along and as sisted him home. Raleigh" Tribune: It now develops that the governor has made the start ling discovery that three of his chosen directors cannot, under the provisions of the law, serve in that, capacity, and he is in the midst of a desperate effort to create three creatures possessing his views upon the-lease question, who are eligible to this responsible office. He, therefore, went to Wilmington on last Monday and spent some time seekirig out three friends, sound in the anti lease faith, whom he persuaded to buy or accept five shares of stock each. The stock was purchased at 115, from what source -The Tribune has not learned,- and the governor then came back to Raleigh and, on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, hastily called a session of his council. He first directed their attention to an insignificant mat ter relative to the renewal of certain state bonds. N He then bound them to the strictest secrecy and revealed to them the predicament in which he was placed and what he t had done in Wil mington. The endorsement of the coun cil of the proposed substitute directors was asked, and granted. Raleigh News and Observer: Colonel Saunders almost completed the colonial records. Judge Clark finished them and then began the state records. The colo nial records are completed in ten folio volumes;1 The state records will com prise an equal number. Volume XIV was delivered by the printer yesterday. There will be. five more volumes, be sides the index. Volume XV is now in press. The new book, volume XIV, comprises 876 pages. Judge. Walter Clark, associate justice of the supreme court of North Carolina, is now writing a history of this state. It is to be a school book, and will be published by the University Publishing Company. It will contain about 430 pages, of which about 100 pages have already been printed. The book will probably be issued from the press during the month of August. In addition to being print ed in "the most attractive Tstyle, this history will be handsomely illhistrated with one-dozen maps and .about zoo en gravings, including pictures.of all the gbvernors of the state and other dis tinguished citizens.

He Explains the Theory of Vleasioas Saerl floe The Blood of ChristCases of Sub stitution Llfa For Idfe Vrequeaeo of Bolfarlng For Others. From many conditions of life Dr, Tal mage, in this sermon, draws graphic Illus trations of one of the subllmest theories of religion namely, vicarious sacrifices. ' His text was Hebrews lx. 22, "Without shedding of blood Is no remission." John G. Whittler, the last of the great school of American poets that made the last quarter of a century brilliant, asked me In the, White mountains, one morning after prayers. In which I had given out iCowper's famous hymn about the "foun tain filled with blood,". "Do you really believe there Is a literal application of the blood of Christ to the soul?" My naga tlve reply then Is my negative now. The Bible statement agrees with all physi cians, and all physiologists, and all scient ists, In saying that the blood is the life, and In the .Christian religion - It means simply that Christ's life was given for our life. Hence all this talk of men who say the Bible story of blood Is disgusting and that they don't want what they call a "slaughter house religion" only shows their incapacity or unwillingness to look through the figure of speech toward the thing signified; The blood that, on the darkest Friday the world ever saw, oozed or trickled or poured from the brow, and the side, and the hands, and the feet Of the Illustrious sufferer, back of Jerusalem, in a few hours coagulated and dried up and forever disappeared, and if man had depended on the application of the literal blood of Christ there would not have been a soul saved for the last eighteen cen turies. . " VOLUNTARY SUFFERING.- ' In order to understand this red word of my text we only have to exercise as much common sense in religion as we do in everything else. Pang for pang, hunger for nunger, fatigue for fatigue, tear for tear, blood for blood, life for life, we see every day illustrated. The act of substi tution is no novelty, although I hear men talk as though the idea of Christ's suffer ing substituted for our suffering were something abnormal, something distress ingly odd, something wildly eccentric, a solitary episode in the world's history, when I could take you out into this city; and before sundown point you to 500 cases of substitution and voluntary suffering of one In behalf of another. At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon go among the places of business or .toil. It will be no difficult thing for you to find men who, by their looks, show you that they are oyerworked. They are prema turely old. They are hastening rapidly toward their decease. They have gone through crises in business that shattered their nervous system and pulled on the brain. They have a shortness of breath and a pain In the back of the head, and at night an insomnia that alarms them. Why are they drudging at business early and late? For fun? No; it would be dif ficult to extract any amusement out of that exhaustion! Because they are avari cious? In many cases no. Because their own personal expenses are lavish? No: a f.ew hundred dollars would meet all their wants. The simple fact is the man Is enduring all that fatigue and experav tion and wear and tear to keep his home prosperous. There is an Invisible line reaching from that store, from that bank, from that shop, from that scaffolding, to a quiet scene a few blocks, away, a few miles away, and there is the -secret of that business endurance. He Is simply the champion of a homestead, for which he wins bread and wardrobe and education and prosperity, and in such battle 10,000 men fall. Of ten business men whom 1 bury, nine die of , overwork for others. Some sudden disease finds them with no power of resistance, and they are gone. Life for life, blood for blood. Substitu tion! At 1 o clock tomorrow morning, the hour when slumber is most uninterrupted and most protound, walK amid tne dwelling houses of the city. Here and there you will find a dim light because it is the household custom to keep a subdued light burning, but most of the houses from base to top are as though uninhabited. A mercirui uoa has sent rortn the arch-; angel of sleep, and he puts his wings over the city. But yonder is a clear light burn ing, and outside on the window casement is a glass or pitcher containing food for a sick child. The food is set in the fresh air. ' This Is the sixth night that mother has sat up with'that sufferer. She has to the last point obeyed the physician's pre scription, not giving a drop too much or too little, or a moment too soore or too late. She Is very anxious, for she has burled three children with the same dis ease, and she prays and weeps, each prayer and sob ending with a kiss of the pale cheek. By dint of kindness she gets the little one through the ordeal. After -it is all over the mother Is taken dqwn. Brain or nervous fever sets In, and one day she leaves the convalscent child, with a mother's blessing and goes up to join the three in the kingdom of heaven. laie for life. Substitution! The fact is ' that there are an uncounted number of moth ers who, after they have navigated a large family of children through all the diseases of Infancy and got them fairly started up the flowering slope of boyhood and girlhood, have only strength enougn left to die. They fade away. Some call it consumption, some call It nervous pros tration, some call It intermittent or ma larial indisposition,' but I call it marty- dom of the domestic circle. Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! A SACRIFICING MOTHER. Or perhaps the mother lingers long enough to see a son get on the wrong road, and his former kindness becomes rough reply when she expresses anxiety about him. Bqt she goes right en, looking carefully after his apparel, remembering his every birthday with 'some memento, and, when he is brought home, worn out with dissipation, nurses him till he gets well and starts him again. and hopes and expects and prays and counsels and suff ers until her strength gives out and she fails. She is going, and attendants, bend ing over her pillow, ask her if she has any message to leave, and she makes great effort to say something, but out of three or four minutes of Indistinct utter ance they can catch but three words, "My poor Doyi xne sunpie laci is sue uu for him. Life for life. Substitution' About thirtv-slx years asro there went forth" from our northern and southern homes hundreds of thousands of men to do battle for their country. All the poetry of war soon vanished and left them nothing Dut tne terriDie prose, u ney waded knee deep In mud; they slept In snowbanks; they marched till their cut feet tracked the earth; they were swindled out of their honest rations and lived on meat not fit' for a dog; they had jaws all fractured, and eyes extinguished, and nmos snot away, vinousanas oi tnem cried 'for 'water as they lay dying on the field the night after the battle and got it no.t ' They were, htmslc$r and received no message' f pom "their loved ones. They died "In barns, In bushes, In ditches, the buzzards or the summer neat the only at tendants on their obsequies. No one but. the infinite God, who knows everything knows the. ten-thousandth part of the length and breadth and dept and height of the anguish of the northern and south ern battlefields. Why did these "lathers, leave their children .nd tsr the1 front," and why did these youri'g men, postponing the marriage ' day; start ' out Inte the probabilities 'of never coining back? For the , country they died. Life lor lire. Blood for blood. Substitution! . CASES OF HEROISM. But we need not go so far. What is that monument in Greenwood? It is to the doctr rs who fell in the southern epi demics.. Why go? Were thwj: not "enough sick to be attended tnthese northern lati tudes? 'Oh, yes! But the doctor puts a few medical books in his valise and some vials of medicine and leaves his patients. here in the hands or other physicians and takes the rail train. Before he gets to the Infected regions he passes crowded rail trains, regular and extra, taking the fly ing ana anrigntea populations. ie ar rives in a city oyer which a' great" horror is brooding. He goes from couch to couch, reeling or the puise and studying symp toms and prescribing day after day, night after night, until a fellow Bhysieiahays: "Doctor, -yOU had better go home and rest. look miserable." But he cannot rest while so many are suffering. On and on, until some mornig nnds him in a, ge lirlum, in which he tajkg pf heme, and then rises and says be must go and look aftpr these patients, fie is told to lie down, but he fights his attendants until he falls back and is weaker and -weaker and dies for people with whom he had no kinship, and far away from his own family, and is hastily put away In a stranger's tomb, and only the fifth part of a newspapr line tells us of his s;;rlne?, his name just mentioned aniig frVef.' Yet he has touched tu farthest height of sublimity in that three1 Weeks of humani tarian 'service. He" goes straight aa an arrow to the bosom of him who said. "I was sick, and ye visited me," Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! In the legal profession I see the same principle of self sacrifice. In 1846 William Freeman, a pauperized and idiotic negro, was at Auburn, N. Y., on trial for murd ed. He had slain the entire Van Nest faml ly. The foaming wrath of the community could be kept off htm ' only bs; 'aitoea constables. -' Who would v-oJUnteer to be bis counsel? No attorney wanted to sac rifice his popularity by such an ungrate ful task. All were silent, save one, a young lawyer with feeble voice, that could hardly be heard outside the bar, pale and thin and awkard. It was Wil liam H. Seward, who saw that the prison' er was idiotic and irresponsible and oueht to be put in an asylum rather than put tq death, the heroic counsel uttering ttie.sS beautiful words:1 " . "I speak now'in the hearing of a people woo uavo prejuagea tne prisoner ana condemned me for pleading In his behalf. He is a convict, a pauper, a neero. with out intellect, sense or emotion. Mv child. with an affectionate smile, disarms my careworn face of Its frowfi whenever I cross my threshold. The beggar, in -the street obllges-me to give because he says, 'God bless you!' as I pass. My dog car esses me with fondness If I will but smile on him. My horse recognizes me when I fill his manger. What reward, what grat itude, what sympathy and affection can I expect here? There the prisoner sits. Look at him. Look at the - assemblage around you. Listen to their ill suppressed censures and their excited fears and tell me where among my neighbors or my fel low men. where, even In his heart, I can expect to find a sentiment, a thought, not to say of reward or of aoknawledgement, or even of recognition? Gentlemenf you may think of this evidence what you ? lease, bring in what verdict you can, but asseverate before heaven and you that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the prisoner at the bar does not at this moment know why it is that my shadow falls on you Instead of his own." : The gallows got Its victim, but the. pest mortem examination of the poor creature showed to all the surgeons and to all the world that the public was wrong, . that William H. Seward was right, and that hard, stony step pf obloquy in the Au burn court room was the first step of the stairs of fame up which he went to the top, or-to within one step of the top, tht last denied him through the treachery of American politics. Nothing subllmer was ever seen In an American courtroom than William H. 8eward, without reward, standing between the fury of the popu lace and the loathsome imbecile. Substi tution! WHAT RUSKIN DID. In the realm ofthe fine arts there was as remarkable an instance. A brilliant but-hypercfiticised painter, Joseph Wil liam Turner, was met by a volley of abuse from all the art galleries of Europe. His paintings, which have since won. the ap plause of all civilized nations "The Fifth Plague of Egypt," "Fisherman on a Lee Shore In Squally Weather," "Calais Pier," "The Sun Rising Through Mist" ' and "Dido Building Carthage" were then targets for critics to shoot at. In defense ef this outrageously abused man, a young author pf 24 years, just one year out of college, eame fprth with his pen and wrote the ablest and most famous essays on art that the world ever saw, or ever will see John Ruskln's "Modern Paint ers. For seventeen years this author fought the battles of the maltreated artist, and after, in poverty and broken heartedness, the painter had died, and the- public trjed to undo" their cruelties to ward him by giving hm a big funeral and burial In St. Paul's cathedral, his eld time friend took out of a tin box 19,000 pieces at paper- containing drawings by the old painter, and through many weary and uncompensated months assorted and arranged them for public observation. People say John Ruskin in his old days is cross, misanthropic and morbid. What ever ha may do that he ought not to do, and whatever he may pay that he Ought not to say between new -and his death, he will leave this world insolvent as far as It has any capacity to pay this author's pen for its chivalrlc and Christian defense of a poor painter's pencil. John Ruskin for William Turner. Blood for Blood. Sub stitution! ! - What an iexaltlng; principle this which leads one to suffer for another! Nothing no kindles enthusiasm, or awakens elo quence, or ehimes poetic canto, or' moves nations. - The principle Is the dominant one In our religion Christ the martyr, Christ the celestial hero, Christ the de-" fender, Christ the substitute. No. new principle, for it was as old as human na ture, but now on a grander, wider, higher, deeper and more world resounding scale. The shepherd boy as a champion for Israel with; a sling toppled the giant of Phillistine braggadocio In the dust, but here Is another David, who, for all the armies ef churches -mlllitant and trium, phant hurls the Goliath of perdition into defeat, the crash of his brazen armor like an explosion at Hell Gate. Abraham had at God's command agreed to sacrifice his son Isaac, and the same God just in time had provided a ram of the thicket : as a substitute, but here is another Isaac bound to - the altar, and no hand arrests the sharp edges' of laceration and death, and the universe shivers and quakes and recoils and groans at the horror. All good men have for centuries been trying to tell who this substitute was like, and every comparison, inspired and unin spired, ' evangelistic, prophetic, apostolic and human; falls short, for God was the Great Unlike. Adam a type of Christ be-! cause he. came directly from God, Noah a type of Christ because he delivered his own family from the deluge, Melchisedec a type- of Christ because he had no prede cessor or successor, Joseph . a type of Christ because he was cast out by his brethren, Moses a type of Christ because he was a deliverer from bondage, Samson i a type of Christ because of his strength : to slay the -lions and carry off the Iron gates of impossibility, Solomon a type of Christ in the affluence ' of his dominion, Jonah a type of Christ because, of the stormy sea in which he threw himself for the rescue ; of others, but put together Adam and Noah and Melchisedec : and Joseph and Moses and Josua and Samson and Solomon and Jonah, and they would not make a fragment of Christ, a. quarter of a Christ, the half of a1 Christ or the millionth part of a Christ, ' j WHAT CHRIST IS; i . He1 forsook a throne and sat down on his own footstool. He eame from the ton of glery to the bottom of humiliation and changed a circumference seraphic for a circumference diabolic. , Once : waited on by angels, now hissed at by I brigands. From afar and high up he came down; past meteors swifter than they; by starry thrones, himself more lustrous: past larg- er worlds to smaller worlds; down stairs of firmaments, and from e(aud to' cloud; and through tree tops' into the camel's stall, tq thrust his shoulder under : our burdens' and take the lances of naln through his vitals, and wrapped himself in au tne agenies wnicn we deserve for our misdoings, and stood on the splitting decks of ai foundering vessel amid the drenching surf of the 'sea, and passed midnights on the mountains amid wild beasts of prey, and stood at the point where all earthly and infernal hostilities charged on, him at once with their keen sabera-oiir substitute! . " When did attorney ever endure so much for a pauper client, or physician for the patient In the lazaretto, or mother for the child In membranous croup, as Christ for us, as Christ for you, as Christ for me? Shall any man or woman or child In. th' audience who has ever suffered for anoth er find it hard to understand this Christ ly suffering for uS?

That Is what Paul means, that Is what I mean, that Is what all those who have ever had their heart changed mean by "Blood." I glory in this religion of blood.

Now I see why the destroy ing angel, passing over Egypt in the night, spared all those houses that had blood sprinkled on their doorsteps. Now I know what Isaiah means ; when ia speaks of "one in red apparel comlngwlth dyed garments from' Bearatf.'ah'd whom tne Apocaiypoa means wnen it aescrioes a Seawniy cmeitain wnose -vesture was ipped .In blood," and what Peter, the apostle, means when he speaks of the "precious blood that cleanseth from all sin," and what the old, worn out, dccFepit missionary jraui means wnan, n my. text, he cries, "Withovt , shedding' of blood is no remission.'

LION AND LAMB. - No wonder a great mound has been rear- tnere, hundreds of feet high a mound at the expense of millions of dollars and many years in rising and en the top Is tne great Belgian lion or Drome, and a grand old lion it is: But our great Water loo was In Palestine. There came a day When all hell rode up, fed by AppellyoH, and the captain of our salvation - con fronted :them alone. The rider on the white horse of the Apocalypse going out against the black. -horse cavalry of death, and the battalions of the demoniac, and the myrmidons of darkness.

All' the arrows of hell pierced our chieftain, and the battleaxes struck him, until brow and check and shoulder and hand and foot were incarnadined with epsing life, but he fought on until he gave a final stroke, and the commander-in-chief ot hell and all his forces fell back in everlasting ruin, and the victory Is ours.

Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, March 22. The Liverpool cables this morning reported an advance of V point in that market and our open ing was 1 to 2 -points higher than Satur day's close. The reports from all over the south concerning the preparations for the hew crop are becoming more and more serious and served to more than offset the feeling of uneasiness caused by the political complications in Europe. May opened at T.W, advanced to 7.09, declined to 7.08 and closed at 7.07 to 7.08, with the tone of the market dull but steady. The immediate course of prices depends large ly upon the character of southern reports of the new crop preparations and in the absence of graver advices from the other side we see no reason to expect any ma terial loss Jn yalues. - 'RIORXXAN & CO. 1 (By Southern Press.) New York, March 22. The Sun's cotton review - says: Spot cotton here wa nn. changed, with sales of 1,800 bales for ex ports and 80 for spinning. The fluctua tions in prices today were few and unim portant. The trading, what there was of it, was intensely dull and of a local, pro fessional character, and at the close prices were practically . unchanged from Saturday's final quotations. Reports of high water continue to be received from the south, and on a 'small local demand prices here advanced slightly. The buy ing power was soon exhausted, however, and in the absence of continued support prices reacted and lost most of the Im provement, The !f ear of serious damage by a general overflow checks any desire to sell on a large scale. The spot mark ets in this eeuntry "were firm, the receipts were light, and the exports liberal, but the dullness of the speculation Is the principal factor Condensed. Testimony. Ohas. B.
