Correspondence of the Visitor.
Bayonnk City, N. J., Aug. 28.
The services in connection with the
good work of Mr. 8. J. Betts, at
Bayonne City, are still receiving mar
velous signs of the divine power and
blessing. The Rev. W. T. Lam bourne,
from England, is still the Lord's fa
vored instrument, and is preaching
with exceptional vigor and intelli
gence the old, old truth that saves
Life is coming from the grave, the air
all around seems sacred. Voices are
eloquent in prayer and jubilant with
song, and the united aim of all saints
is to rescue the perishing, and win
for Jesus universal supremacy.
Bayonne at this time evidently has
a visit from the Holy One, for joy is
abroad and Heaven is receiving new
sons and daughters.
Near upon two thousand gathered
beneath nature's shades on Sunday
last, and as dear Bro. Lambourne
told his favorite theme, many were
the hearts that bowed under the
weight of the Spirit's power. The
clone of the day found us returning
to our varied homes gifted with high
er resolves to be true to our dear
Lord, and with faith deeply streng
thened in the gospel that brings the
weary rest.
Bro. Lambourne may yet be heard
in Raleigh, and let us pray that his
visit may prove a gain to the King's
own sanctuary and a joy to all His
sons. B.
Sent His Lottery Tickets to
Uncle Sam.
A unique "conscience fund" cons
tribution has been received at the
dead letter office of the post office
department in the shape of thirty
eight $1 Louisiana lottery tickets
The moral aspect of the case is some
what mixed from the fact that the
tickets had all matured, but not in
cash. Evidences of an indorsement
of the anti lottery policy of the post
office department are shown in the
following note which accompanied
tbe contribution:
Dead Lkttbr Office: Here are
thirty eight tickets. They cost me
38, and I never got a cent. It is all
humbug. They send out some small
prizes, but the large onts stay at
home. It in a good thing that Uncle
Sam has bothered them. There is
thousands that got bit.
Commissioner John Robinson and
Inspector G. S. Terrell, of the State
Agricultural Department, were here
yesterday getting evidence about un
tagged fertilizer. The commissioner
assured us the matter would be close
ly investigated. He also stated he
would take no action against the far
mers who had used it and were igno
rant of the tag requirement. Her
derson Tom ah a k.
" I hear George is going to get mar
vied,'' said one young lady to another
this morning. " No," replied the oth
r, he is in debt."
When RlMtttf Began.
The mutual kis of affection or jmuj-
sion by the lip between persons of
opposite sex is generally considered
to bt instinctive, Reichenbach sought
to explain it on tbe theory that the
mouth was the focus of the ' odic
force" and that these two force of op
posite sexes possessed natural attrac
tion to each other.
The fact that the mutual kiss be-
t ween opposite sexes is not general
among the tribes of men is abundant
ly shown by the observation of
travelers in the lauds where savagery
and .barbarism still exist Where it
is now practiced it is not probably of
great antiquity. In some languages,
notably the Japanese there is no
word for kiss.
When, however the kits was intro
duced to include women, its vogue,
like that of other new inventions, was
carried to excess. According to the
chronicle of Winsenius, it was un
known in England until the Princess
Rowena, the daughter of King
Hengist, of Friesland, instructed the
instriar Vortigern in the imported
salute.
Though the Saxon statistics are
not probably exact, it is historical
that in England not many years ago
it would have been the imperative
duty of a visitor to have kissed all
the ladies of the household, even
without previous acquaintance. Such
was the experience of many surprised
literary foreigners, notably Erasmus.
The contemporary drama shows the
usage to have lasted into the Geor
gian era, and it is to be noticed that
the performance was generally called
a "salute," sometimes "the salute."
Exchange.
John Brown Lynched
Jackson, Tenn , July 20. -John
Brown, a negro, who shot and mor
tally wounded John Gardner, a white
switchman,because the latter ordered
him .off his engine yesterday after
noon, was swung into eternity this
morning at 1 o'clock. The mob was
expected by everybody and was wit
nessed by at least 500 people, all of
whom stayed up for that purpose
The mob was composed of about forty
men supposed to be railroaders, and
they made considerable noise by yell
ing when doing their work. They
were well armed with Winchester
rifles and revolvers.
They yelled to the jailer to open
the door, and when he refused they
battered it down with a sledge ham
mer. He was forced to produce the
keys and unlock the door ot the cell
of the unfortunate wretch, under a
threat of death and at the muzzles of
rifles and revolvers Brown was car
ried to the courthouse square and
hanged to a tree. The agonies he
suffered were horrible and shocking
They made two unsuccessful attempts
before killing him, and then he died
of strangulation. The rope was
twisted the first time and broke in
the second attempt. He wanted to
make a statement, but when he be
gan calling the names of some rail
road men he was jerked into the air
His body was left dangling in the air
until this morning, when it was cut
down.
The mob shot the body but once,
and that they claimed, was to make
death certain The police force was
powerless to prevent the hanging.
A Floting Tunnel.
St. James Budget.
These engineers are constantly pro
posing things likely to alarm nervous
people. The newest notion that has
been devised for frightening people
out of their wits is a floating railway
tunnel between Scotland and Ireland.
We have heard of " the land junc
tion of Scotland and Ireland" before
but the experts say that the geologi
cal formation of the bed of the North
channel is so different from that of
the English channel that a tunnel
would not be possible.
But Mr. James Maxton is equal to
the difficulty, and he has been pro
posing at Belfast that a floating tun
nel should be anchored sixty feet be
low the surface. This arrangement
is called a " Submerged Buoyant
Bridge," which is a brave name
enough. It would cost only five mil
lions and a quarter, and could be
completed in two years and a half.
And all this magnificent eoneeption
could do would be to save the nine
teen miles of sea between Port Pat -
rick and Douagbadoe. but suppose
the weight of a train should some
day overcome the resistant"1 of Mr.
Maxtou's anchors ? That would be
so much the worse for the train, we
fear.
American Sabbath Vnion.
Ocean Grove, N J.. July 28 To
day was the second day of the annual
meeting of the Ameiican Sabbath
Onion, under the leadership of the
general secretary, Rev. Dr. James H.
Knowles, of New York. Dr. Knowles
spoke on the relation of the national
to the State Sabbath observance or"
ganizations. Dr. J. W. R. Taylor, of
Washington, spoke against the open-
iug of the World's Fair on Sunday,
and Rev. Dr. T. A. Finley also made
an address.
Rev. Sam W. Small Baid our Gov
ernment was a peculiarly christian
government, but that without Sab
bath observance its do vnfall was cer
tain. Rev. H. H. George, of Penu
sylvania, said no postal service was
needed on Sunday ; that London and
Toronto had none, and that he hoped
to see Sunday mails abolished by sen
timent. Rev. Sam W. Small spoke
again to a large audience in xne eve
