matters to Congress.
(iov. Anthony, of Kansas, read the mi
nority report, protesting against the adoj
tioii of the resolutions, looking to the' Gov
ernment aid for one or more enterprises to
the exclusion of others, which all should
be treated alike.

troduced, made a speech predicting that

tre of the World, referred to the growing
desire of the Mexicans to secure reciprocal
relations in the commerce with the United
States, and expressed the hope that this

of Cape Hatteras, and we commend the
ineasures to the favorable consideration of
Congress.

The President's Views .llormon

Washixotox, Nov. 13. The published
Statements affecting the president's views
on , the Southern question seem to have
been exaggerated in both directions. The
facts appear to be that the administration
has decided on no new steps, but is thor
oughly in earnest in its intention to pro
tect citizens irrespective of their political
, faith. The instructions recently referred
to in these dispatches, as having been
issued by the Attorney General, obviously
contemplate this object,though th' re have
been no change in their original tone and
temper.

.Scene that Caused Strong Men
to Veep A Ireeher"s Pain
ful Experience.
Xtir York Sun, V2.
The Rev. William C. McCracken, in St'.
Mark's church on Sunday evening, said
that his heart had hardly yet recovered'
from its many stabs, and- that it was pain
ful to recall his experience in Grenada,
Miss., but, because once, while he was a
missionary, the Ladies' Aid Society of St.'
Mark's had upheld his hands when he
needed support, he felt compelled to com
ply with the request of the rector, the
Rev. Dr. Rylance, to relate, his experience
there. The fever lay upon the little town
for seventy-five long days. Of .the forty
or fifty persons-present in his cnurclu on
the Sabbath when the yellow fever first
broke out, thirty are now dead. It was
decided not to hold another service in the
church, but his organist, a good woman,
whose memory he loved to dwell on.
cause it was the last that she
heard. In her innocent and beau
tiful simplicity she thought that her
reCtor was going- to suffer privation and
hardship -on account ofthe outbreak of the
fever. She did not know of the North's
generosity. She died too soon, u lnle
4sick she begged the rector to take a little
money she had saved. It was all in a small
purse. She grew sicker rapidly. He took
the purse, saying to her, '"Now, I have it.
Be satisfied and get well." "Within a few
hours she died. That purse was to him a
sacred thing. Her desire had been, to have
a cross placed on the altar. By accident
he had told the circumstance of her death
to a clergyman in New. York. "Go," he
said, "and buy such a cross as she desired,
but do not let it be a cheap one. Use her
money if you will so far' as it will go and I
will pay for the rest." The next week after
that last service inMhe church, one-half of
those who had attended died.
"Then," Mr. McCracken said, "we held
service in the Court House. I remember
that it was the only time in my life that I
broke down in the service. When I came
to the prayer, ' In time of great sickness
and mortality,' a gentleman began to cry,
and in a few minutes we were all sobbing.
I was for a time unable to proceed, but 1
remained on my knees and strength came
to inc. I finished the prayer, but that end
ed the service. The next week half of
those that attended that service were dead.
I" "well remember the first funerals in my
parish. Three sisters and their mother
were stricken down. I could not get a fe
male to attend them. At last I asked a
man who had had a bad character, but who
had been converted, to go and wait at the
bedside of the sickest of these women. lie
did so. She died, and at her funeral were
only that man, the undertaker, and myself.
Soon another sister died, and at her funer-.
al were only the undertaker and I. The
third sister was buried without a service.
At 9 o'clock one evening I talked with
her. I thought 'that she would re
cover. . Early the next morning,
while riding in from a suburb, I
passed an undertaker's wagon containing a
coffin. When I arrived in town I learned
that the coffin was hers. The third who
died in my church was a beautiful girl.' I
loved her for her Christian character. Her
mother had been stricken down. We did
not dare to let her know of her daughter's
death. We had to put the hodyiu a coffin
up stairs, and carry it down a rear stairway
outside of the building. I was troubled to
know where to hold the service. At last
ltold the undertaker to set the coffin on the
sidewalk. As 1 began to read the service
several persons who were passing stopped
and, baring their heads, reveutly knelt.
Tears filled my eyes. I did not see the book
I held. I looked through the book and
the coffin lid at the girl herself. None who
knelt about that coffin now survive. I
saw men break down like children. They
acted like children and died like children,
but without the beautiful faith of children.
Aud I saw brave girls go from house to
house till the stroke came upon thqm, and
then saw theni die without repining. From
my experience in Grenada I have learned
that 'As thy da vs. so shall thy strength

I'ap.is, October 30. The season of fetes
is as good as over. The exhibition draws
nigh its end. It is dying with even great
er glory than it has lived : 209,912 persons
passed the doors in one single day. hundav
last. But there will be lapse of public ex
citement. The curtain will be hardly down
on the pageant ere it will rise again on a
serious piece. The Chambers are opened,
and the election of the Senatorial electors
has just taken place. The pilot of the new
play is known in advance ; clericalism will
have a troubled time of it. This has been
clearly foreshadowed in recent speeches of
(Janibetta. and there are signs ofit in every
minor incident of public life. Last Sunday
I strolled out to the little village of
Futeux for change of air ami ideas, and for
a moment " found the full promise of
them. I'uteux was crowning a rosiere
of virtue. She was certainly a good little
girl, and deserved the white chaplet which
was put on her head with much ceremony
before the two thousand inhabitants of the
hamlet and idlers from the city, who form
ed the applauding crowd. But' even here
they talked politics, and the polities of
anti-clericalism". It was in fact a free
thought festival. There was no priest,
but in lieu of hifn M. Kdxnoud About, the
most voracious priest-eater of the press, as
orator ofthe day. He chaffed the clergy
I thought not with the best taste ; in fact,
with the worst on an occasion of this kiud
and glorified Voltaire. This is going
on,, in one way or the other, all over repub
lican France. The leaders have had a
mot Uorlre : the cassock is to be thrown
to the lions, and the noble animals are be
ing taught by skilfully-devised provoca
tions to groan with rage at the sight of
black cloth. On the very first day of the
sitting of the Chamber the Minister of
Public Instruction laid on the table a sta
tistical report on the religious 'congrega
tions 111 r rancc. It was moved lor by Repub-
licans.and is regarded by them as a number
ing of the enemy's forces. "It divides the
religious body into authorized and non-authorized
those specially recognized by the
law and those, such as the Jesuits, merely
tolerated. .There are 23 religious associa
tions of men for education, directing 2,328
public and 7GH private schools; 528 asso
ciations of women, directing 10,591 public
and 5,527 private schools. Men and women
together, the total number of those follow
ing the religious vocation in France is
about 200,000. It will be a pitv if the
Republicans find nothing better to do with
such a force than to reduce it by persecu
tions to a sullen despair, let Gambetta
seemed to give the word for that hard
measure in his latest speeches. It is more
than ever a pity that he cannot be cleri-
calized" to the point of tolerance by some
such happy event as his union with Mme.
Arnaud. His friends have long talked of
this, but there is nothing to show- that it
has as yet been mentioned between the prin
cipnls. It would be an ideal match in
respect of the qualifications, on one side.
The ladv is a Protestant, the widow of a
Catholic, an ardent Republican, and with
al, more than triply a millionnaire. Her
Protestantism came to her by birth, her
tolerance for the old faith through her first
marriage with M. Arnaud, who professed
it, together with out-and-out liberal prin
ciples, in the .Jtormy days of 1849. She
chose him because he was a Republican
and loved him in spite of his being a Cath
olic. Her fortuiie was inherited through
her mother from one M. Dubochet, a Croesus
of Switzerland. She has everything but
youth, and you have to consult the register
to discover even that loss. Otherwise vou
might-never guess that she is Gambetta's
senior bv ten vears. It is a pitv they do
not make a match of it. Her millions
would be of use to him in the prosecution
of his great schemes, but her mind, with its
treasure of knowledge -of the world, and
her heart, with its treasure of charity,
would be of infinitelv more.
VThe Hero Blackburn. 1
Louisville Letter in New York Exchange. s
Go anywhere in Kentucky and you will
hear men exclaim that they are for "the
brave old man" for Governor. They mean
Dr. Luke P. Blackburn. Thev Avill tell
you that all his life he has been fighting
epidemic disease, from the day forty .years
back wheii he went to Lexington to yght
the cholera, down to the day that the last
case of yellow fever occurred in Hickman.
They will tell you that he has never yet
hadvellow fever, vet whenever that disease
has become general in the Southwest he
has always been on hand, and that this
summer, with nothing to
grain in
profes
sional- reputation xn that score, and with
full opportunity furnished.by the sick refu
gees in Louisville-to excuse himself from
service at the front, he unhesitatingly re
sponded to the call for his services so soon
as the disease invaded- Kentucky! He
went to the town of Hickman. I believe
the statistics read that out of 105 men 103
were prostrated with jellow-fever, and
some 70 died. These figures tell the tragic
story in which Dr. Blackburn took such
conspicuous part. ,
I know this ''brave old man" welh He
comes of a family of brave men, possessed
of strong family and individual character
istics. He has not closely followed his
profession., Many .years ago he made a
spurt in the legislative business thabhe
did not follow up with the same success
that attended the emergence of his brother,
Joe Blackburn, from the t obscurity of a
country villagel He followed planting for
a while with more or lees success, eventu
ally, I believe, with a predomination of
less. But he has never neglected his pro
fession, and I do not know that he is con
sidered by his medical brethren in the
least behind the times. I can myself testi
fy to one occasion when he was called in
consultation with the most gratifying re
sults. He considers himself now retired
from practice.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Obser
ver at Elizabethtowu writes under date of
the 9th : Last night a negro cabin on the
plantation of Mr. T. C. Whitted, three
miles here, occupied by a negro mau named
Haywood Smith, and family, waa burned,
together with four children, an infant and
three larger ones. The mother and father
had gone from home to sit up with an old
darky who was sick. It is supposed they
locked the children up when they left the
house. .
Raleigh News: It is stated that O'Hara,
the colored Radical candidate of the Sec
ond Congressional District, will contest the
election of Capt. W; II. Kitchin, Dem
ocratic candidate elect, from that district,
and that to the end he has employed as
counsel, Messrs. W. H. Day of Halifax,
Fred. Phillips of Edgecombe, and Judge
Manly of Craven. O'Hara will probably
apply for a mandamus, requiring the
judges of election of those precincts in his
district, which were thrown out, and which
he claims if counted, that he would hare
been elected, to count the rotes, as he al
leges that he received large majorities of
the vo'es cast -at sahl precincts.

Croirette aud Sarah llernhardt:
Paris Jitter in the World.
And all to see Croizette die ? Well, not
exactly ; there was this . time a further at
traction Sarah "Bernhardt was in the cast.
This woman of genius has still the pas of
all her comrades in the public regard. You
hear people at the Francais, provincials and
foreigners, good souls, trvinc: to look for
ner in
stead
of for
the niece. "I want a
ticket for Sarah Bernhardt." "Monsieur,
it is impossible." The attendants re very
patient 'with them. I don't know what
induced her eto play in this piece, as she
has only the second role, the first belong
ing of prescriptive right to Croizette. It
may have been her desire to join issue with
her rival, and, with the odds against her,
kill the nominally greater part. ' For the
ladies are rivals, and it could not be other
wise. Both are at the first theatre', in
France, and the first theatre in France is
a world wherein there U no room
for a divided reign. "They are ci
vil enough to one another at 5 re
hearsals and say tit," I was told the other
day, "but !" - This gives a peculiar in
terest to the very rare occasions on which
they are seen together in one piece. It is
a pretty even combat between them, in
spite of what I just now said about the
odds. If Sarah has more genius Croizette
has more leauty, and the former would
have to gain in plumpness what the latter
could very well spare to make either of
faultless proportions. Sarah is notoriously
thin notoriously is the only word, for
though much is written about the quality
of her crenius. it is as nothing to what is.
said of her defects of her shape. Without j
Sarah Bernhardt aud their mothcrs-in-law
the small wits would be bankrupt of sub
jects in a week. Their invention runs riot
in this narrow field. When Sarah was
painted with a favorite hound at ber feet
somclody said it was "a capital study of a
dog watching a boae." It is affirmed that
you can read print through her frame, and
that her body is as good a magnifying me
dium as spectacles glasses.
NcriouK AeruHUtion A gal nut a Jlln
iter. The Rev. Dr. James Dixon resigned his
pastorate of the Centenary M. E. Church,
at New Albany, Ind., several days ago.
Dr. Dixon is accused of exhibiting a forged
certificate of divorce from his wife, to a
young lady parishioner, and of asking the
vouhg lady to go across to1 Ijouisville with
him and there marry him.' The young
lady, with the certificate in her possession,
promptly laid the matter before her pa
rente, and the parents before the church.
The minister denies any knowledge of the
alleged certificate, claims never to hare
courted the young lady, and says he re
signed his pastorate in order to connect
himself with another Christian denomina
tion. v
