Eemale Benevolent Society Sermon. The annual sermon before the Female Benevolent Society, was prcache Sunday night in the Presbyterian church, in a union meeting of the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian congregations, and a collection taken up as usual for the benefit of the- society. The ser mon dealt with existing conditions and relatious between employees and employ ers how the latter are often responsible, sometimes unintentionally fir hardships, by soeking to get work performed for les3 than its real worth. He cited low prices paid to seamtresses for shop work nnd laid the blame not simply on the one's paying the prices but on those whose exactions in purchasing caused such Bharp rivalry. He Used an illustration also of a labor ing man a carpenter, one who gets fair average wages, say $1.50 or $1.75 per day. The man has a family a wife and two or three children. Out of that small sum he has to :neet all expenses, and is likely to find it close work to do i , a rain comes, a days labor is gone, one sixth of that week's increase is cut ulf. During the cold weather several weeks income gone the man gels in debt in the near time and has to begin again and not only keep up expenses but pay arrearages then if sickness comes, especially if it lie wage earner, the trouble is multiplied. The illustration was plain, but from it Mr. Vardell went on to other good people for whom the lines had fallen in even less pleasant places and thereon to those whose troubles were largely brought on by themselves or those connected with them by intoxicating diink or otherwise. He was scrcre on those having thus, and unsparing in reference to those who place r keep temptation in their way or who assist others in doing so. . M. C. A. Notes. The Y. M. C.

A Typical Tale of Southern Oatraire. New Ik'rne, N. C. is a quiet, orderly city, devoted to liberty, business ami the pursuit of happiness, and those who know its reputation iu this regard were amazed to read in the North Carolina papers recently that a colored thief named R. O. Dent had been lynched in its principal sirccts a few days ago aud Ins body left dangling to the tree; to which he was hanged. The New Berne Daily Current, in an article describing the occurrence, gives R. O. Dent a very bad name, and recites, in justification of his summary taking off a long list ol evil deeds ot which fie Had been guity. According to the Current, he was one of a gang of notorious thieves who had infested the city lor somo time and had managed with extraordinary cunning to elude the vigilance of the lo cal detectives. '-The nefarious opera tions of the gang," says the Current, were not confined to any special locality, but covered the entire area of our city. No home was safe from the depredations of these maurauders. Bolts, locks and bars could not exclude them, and having se lected the site of operations. It seemed au easy task for them to saw through boards and doors. It is a singular fact, howover, that in almost every case of their burglarious operations the gany never took any cloth ing, but confined themselves to the steal ing of provisions." The leader w is cap tured on a recent Sunday morning while he was boldly walking down the street, probably on his way to church. He was recognized by one of his victims, and the enraged citizens allowed no religious con sideration to prevent the execution of im mediate vengeance. 1 he tellow was atj once bound and hanged to the nearest tree, and his corpse was left there for twenty-four hours as a warning to his wicked associates. It should be added, however, in jus tice to the citizens of Now Berne, that Mr. R. O. Dent, though a gentleman of unmistakable color, Had lour leet ana a long tail and is generallyknown as rodent, for short. News being dull in New Berne on the dnv when the rocrue met 'his tratric fate. the local reporter wrote op the death of a huge and audacious rat trom a humor ous point of view, carefully concealing its tail Ulllll me tiiu, nuoiu it. pccjjcu uuv under the formal designation adopted. This story of a lynching in New Berne is shown, therefore, to be no better foun ded than many other stories of the same kind that are published about simlar oc currences in that section. The tale of R. O. Dent should be laid to heart by tbe sectional partisans who are so eager to credit injurious reports of mob violence m toe uontn. .very ire- quently, if they will examine sucn cases carefully they will smell a rat, even if R. O. Dent does not appear in the capital letters. We tender the people of New Berne our sincere congratulations that nothing more tragic than tbe lynebing of a lodent has disturbed the quiet- of that pretty and energetic little city. Baltimore Hon.
