Noltlior was ho without tha marks of hts rocont adventure. His nerves hud re ceived n shock they never could recover from. His teeth chattered SO badly that h couldn't utter n word for days, and he could nolther stand nor walk for weeks. Ily and by, when public sentiment became mora lenient toward him, and he crawled out ol his sick room, he was a changed boy. Its had boon a fluent and even graceful talker before the Fourth, but now ho was a hopeless stutterer. He couldn't so much as say "no" without putting a dozen "os" Into It) and, In spite of all efforts to cure hhn, ho grew up a stammerer and stutterer of the most malig nant type. He Inclined toward journalism, and became a reporter, with all that Uis name Implies of enterprise and assurance. As an Interviewer ho would have acquired world-wide fame but for his unfortunate stuttering. He Is still In newspaper work, and still stuttering. But ho loit hts enthu siasm for thi Fourth of July on the memor able day that he ascended from the "village smithy." Need I say that Mark Lyons' and Kitty McDonald's quarrel ended tho moment the gallant Mark dragged Kitty from under the falling porch into safety. They were mar ried, and tho Goddess of Liberty made them no moro trouble. A subscription was raised to build the In nocent blacksmith another shop. Mark Lyons contributed liberally, feeling that the blacksmith's loss had been hts gain. All came out of tho explosion, with less damage than Jimmy Carroll. It shook his self-confidence to such an extent that he gave up all hope of Kitty, and smilingly saw her mar fled to Mark Lyons. When any one asks him now to help make tho Fourth of July prop erly glorious ho soys: "N-o-o-o-o-o, tb-th-tha-n-k you. I d-l-l-l-d c-c-c-col-e-b-b-brato It once." Max Elton. N?w York, June 23. In the morning of the Fourth of July good old Or. Jingo distributes patriotic parapher nalia to the youth of tho neighborhood. In tho afternoon of the glorious day good old Dr. Jingo has all the business he can at tend to. We need the social sympathy necessary for tho enjoyment of pleasure and a holiday; and we want It, because, we have neglected to cultivate It If we would see more of each other as friends and less as mere busi ness acquaintances open the doors of our houses to the dally guest, and our hearts to a freer communion we should acquire a habit of social feeling which would becomo us much a desire of our dally Ufa as it Is a necessity of Its happiness. Without the habitual social sympathy we ask for we are better, perhaps, without holidays; for they come when we do not know what to do with them, and a sudden stoppage to the business machine only serves to throw everything out of gear all becomes confusion and excitement. With all due reverence for the associations of the day, who does not at night, after counting his children and his ten Angers and finding them safe and sound, out of the gunpowder and riot, go to bod thanking heaven that the "glorious Fourth" Is past! AVe have yet to learn the proper use of that blessed Insti tution, the holiday. FOURTH OF JULY IN THE CITY. The fate of a poor fellow creature please pit j.

The Tears of the Fathers. All that tho world now understands by the word America Its democratic Institu tions. Its breadth of personal privilege, Its vast political opportunities, Its Immense material wealth and resources. Its Listeria achievements and the great characters It has given to tho world's undying regard comes from, or li indlssolubly associated with, the event which the Fourth of July honor and commemorates. The declaration of 177(1 was not a surprise to many of tho co'.onUts, but It outran tho thought ot most. It w as received something as J.lncoln's immortal Proclamation of Emancipation wos lecelvod with intense enthusiasm by the majority, but with sullen opposition or outspoken protoxt by a large minority, suo new iiuliuii uiu nui, tnnr.nlni.Ant Ainrw-tiLtloll-l 111 nnv nuartor.

Tho nttciuitttico In tho fore noon wns poor, but In thn aftornoon it wna light good. Most ot 1110 sonooia lu tho towiiflhit) were represented. Tlio exercises wero opened nt 10:30 a. ra. by music, followed by dovotionnl ser vico conducted by Hev. A. II011I2. Appointment of committees was next In order, after which tho topics men tioned In tho programme wero taken up and ably discussed, ltev. A. itotiiz, Uov. A. if. rioovon and Mr. K. M. anbach did nearly nil tho talking 111 tho forenoon. Tlio first tonio discussed wns "llie Truo Mission of tho Sunday School." T ic nssortion was mado nt tho beuin- nine of tho discussion that the Sunday school is of no mo. This wns mado merely for argument. It wa fully proven during tho day that tho Sunday school is a vcrv beneficial service. ho truo mission ol tho Sundny school tho salvation of tho child. It is tho duty of tho teacher to imprrBS upon tho mind of tho child tho truths embodied in tho lesson, Teach tho children that thoy may bo converted now. Tho Sunday school is also tho supplement of parental instruction. It is a substituto whoro families do not ivo their children lclliiioiis training. lanv parents who aro not Christians do not civo their children religious training, yet they desire their children 10 uo latignt 1110 iruins or uiu muio. Hero tho Sunday school steps in and docs that which tho parents do not do. Second topic, ''What is tlio Host Method of Conductinir a Sunday Schooll" Nearly all agreed that as good a method as any was to open Willi Biuguig, men ruetiuiisivu n.-.iung, singing, prayer, roll call with repetition of verso from Scripture, followed by teachers taking charge of tneir classes. Some obiect to roll call ns it lakes up too much time. As n rule, not enough time is allotted to tho lesson. teach ers should havo timo enough to get over tho lessou. Review lesson every Sunday. Train children to give in stead ot receive, should nave stanti ard tirao in a neighborhood and every ono try to bo on time, spend liuccn or twenty minutes each Sunday sing ing and havo tlio children help. Third topic, "I ho l.seential (uaiihca tions and Duty of tho Superintendent and Teacher." The Superintendent hould be a man of good moral char acter. Should also possess executive abilities. Ho should never net mad or lose control of himself. Ho should be prompt and punctual if possible The teacher should possess theso quali fications to bo a successful teacher and win souls to Christ. Fourth tonic, "How to Kelnin tho Older Scholars in tho Sunday School.'' Tbo question is, why do thoy not re main in the Sunday school t uno rea son they outgrow their classes. There shoula bo a class in every Sunday Fchool for grown up pupils. They should bo promoted. Provide young men and ladies with thoroughly com petent teachers and do not call them children. As soon as a scholar is com petent, givo Mm a class or an oflice and make him feel that the Sunday school is intended for all and not only children. This discussion was followed by singing tho doxology and the bene diction, nftcr which tho convention ad- ourned to meet at 1:30 p. 111. The afternoon session was opened at 2:00 n. m. by music. This wns followed bv the enrollment of delegates. Be sides ino aoovo mentioned spe&Kers, Messrs. Amos Ilartman. 1' rank Jones, Amos Franklin, Wesley Lvelpiid, A. Heishliuc, Eli Robbins, W. Hosier and E. M. Tewksbury, of Cat.iwissn, took part in the discussions of thu after noon. The topic, "How to Enlist Church Members in the Sunday School Work," was taken up and discussed at great length. Why is it. that nil tho members aro not, cniisieii 111 incsiinuay school work T 1 astors should get af ter them and uso tho discipline if they do not do their dity as Christian?. Tbo man or woman who doc snot takoa part in 'tbo Sunday school is not a con sistent member. A church member means an active worker. Members of the M. E. Church can bo disciplined for non-perfornianco of duly. First, net the member's head right. Second, gel ins neari nguu -rv nun uieu wuii a good horso is better than a good sled with a horso that will not pull. So a church member with a head and heart r'mht who is an activo member, . , . 1.. A -1-J I.I. though Tie has but few talents, is better than a member Willi many talents whosi head and heart aru not right and who is not an activo church worker. Get tho nicrubers warmed up with tho love of Uod. lu order to do this tho pastor Hhould visit the members. Ho should preach a sermon on tho Sunday school work. Impress on them that it is a part of tho church. Writo letters to parents inviting them to tho Sunday School. Teachers and Supeiintcndeut should visit tho parents. Make it pleasant for them when they do come, Trv to eel them interested 111 thu exer cises and in this way you can get them enlisted 111 tho work. Sixth topic, "Duty of Parents in Relation to tho Sunday School.'' Thoy should help their children preparo tho lesson during tho week and 011 Sunday get them off in time for Sunday Fchool. They should givo the school their sympathy and their moral and flnnnpml mitmnrt. Thev should talk approvingly of the school. "Duty of Sunday School Scholars.'1 First duty is regularity, second, study their les son beforo ottendinc Sunday school Third, tako their places in class and givo close attention to the lessou Fourth, do mission work. Eighth fjpic, "Duty !of Teachers to Pray for their Scholars."' Tho teacher should bo n conscientious Christian man or woman in order to impart re ligious training so that 11 will do good If he is a truo Christian ho will bo : nraving man, for pravcr is an essential duty of a Cliristain. Whenever tho pious teacher kneels in prayer ho should nsk God's blessing 011 his class. It is just as much imporluntfor the teacher to pray for his efforts put forth as it is lor a pastor to pray tor his 01 forts. .Ninth topic, "How Should Temper anco bo taught in the Sunday School.' Havo ono day in every year set a9ido for temperance. Teachers should bring out of lesson what pertains to temperance, and they should set an ox- ample by total abstinence. Impress it on tho minds ot the pupils and ten them of tho evils of intemperance. Havo a pledgo In tho school and havo tho children to sign it. "Memorizing Scripture in tho Sunday .School" was next discussed. Children will remem ber verses they learn in thu Sunday school nnd can recall them in after life. Soveral of tho older persons present said they could remember veiscs they learned in childhood. It would bo good for all, both young and old, to get full of tho Scripture. y Eleventh topic, "llenovolenco in tho tindav School." Christ inoulcalcd tho idea of charity, Lay tho foundation f -I : . ! .1 - C 1 1 Ji Guuriiy 111 uiu ounuuy buiiuui. Vould havo collection taken tip every Sunday but would not havo ono penny to go to keep up tho Sunday school, but for benevolent purposes. Tho Sunday sohool should bo sustained by other means. Children should bo taught to give of thoir own earnings. Parents should givo their children eomo light work to do in which to ram money. "Rewards in tho Sunday School." Pupils should net from prin ciple and not for rewards, especially tho older ones. Reach tho souls of childron through tho ladies. We hould u'u rowards to Inlluenco littlo children. A good plan is to give them tickets with Scriptural vcisenou and avo tlieni memorize tho verso?, ami ftcr thoy havo learned the verses let them kicp the tickets. For so many tickets givo them a card, and for a cer tain number of cards reward them with n Testament or n Rible. Tho last tcpio discussed was, "Sun- ay School Picnics and Festivals " l'lio children that wero prcsont bolievo in having picnic, so tho Convention thought that was all tho argument needed in favor of picnics. As to festivals, some wero in favor of them, others wero opposed to them. If a festival is conducted riulit, do not think thcro is much harm Hi it. When 011 run a festival on Saturday night into Sunday you aro doing harm. When wo givo we should givo for a cause,but at festival perfoi s spend their money merely to gratify their appr-tilo and not for the benefit of tho Sunday school. Wo should not resort to festi vals as a means of raising money for the Sunday school if there is any oilier way to ratso it. Report of business committee was na follows: Tho next Convention to bo eld September 25, at Stillwater M. E. Church. Executivo committee: Miss Ella Andrews, Mr Augustus Reishlino and Mr. Cyrus Robbins. After tho benediction "tho Convention adjourned to meet at the timo and place specified. U.

Thu feather end of thu quill is meauwhihi sometimes between his teeth. When thu shaping of some specific thought is thus labored upon to completion, the pen runs over tho pacer again speedily, and the finish is made with a little gesture of self' satisfaction, as if, after all, the task wero a irillo wearisome but tlio offort not without reward.

Ins wife, tho mother of ten clilltlteii, died in tho Wliito House after n long illness, followed by tho death of n mem ber of his cabinet, tlio lamented Lo gan). Hi' wns scarcely recovered from theso calamities and tho ootisoqtiont chaugoi thoy mado in his domostio and olheial li 1 0 when, in tlio ttrst uutlditig of tonder lovo in liis widotved hoart, tho terriblo distsler on tho Prino.'ton oci'tirrrd. Tlio Pit icoton was a United States vessel lyitu off Alexandria and com manded by Cant. Stockton. Ono day in February, a few days after the Prosidont's reception nt tho Wliito House, tho captain received orders to mnko liis ship ready for gucatp. A number of distinguished public official', with their wives', wero intited to snond tho tlty on board, and thcro wero fully four hundred pcrsoiiB on tlio ship, in cliiilini; a number of Congressmen. Thu President was in his happiest mood, and paid much attention to the young ladies on board, particularly lo tho dnuchtors of Mr. Gardiner, win', with their father wero guests of tho President. Tho vtiksel Hailed down tho Potomao below1 Koit Washington, and tlio com pany had greatly enjoyed tho fail, the music and tlio occasional firing of tho largo guns 011 board, ono ot winch, tho Peacemaker, cairicd a ball of 225 poutidi'. Tho elegant collation' was over acd a number of persons were on deck apain, chatting, after tlio hearty repast they had enjoyed. Many still reman cu 111 tho dining room. Lite captain and first-oflicer were urged to lire the great gun oneo more. Thoy consented, and when just opposite the port preparations wero mado. Many persons stood around, tho majority of whom wero men, to observe tlio effects. Tho gun was fired, and before tho smoke had cleared cries and groans filled the air. Tho gun had burst at a point near tho breech, and death and desolation followed. Thoso killed out right wero Mr. Upshur, Secretary of State j Air. Gilmer, Secretary of tlio Navy ; Commander Kenon, one of tho officers of tho vessel ; Virgil Maxoy, Into minister to tho Hague, and Mr. Gardiner. There wero seventeen badly wounded sailors, several of whom died. Among tho injured were Captain Stockton, Senator IJentonJaeut. Hunt, of tho Princeton, and Mr Hoberteon of Georgetown. Tho President ordered tho dead bodies to bo can icd to tho Executivo Mansion, where they wero laid in state in tlio East room. President Tyler afterward married Julia, the eldest of tho four children of Mr. Gaidiner, 2i years of nge, and dcecribed as haying had tho advantages of fino education, foreign travel, and much society. She was of medium size, full figure, nnd with a faco that was beautiful. An Electrio Sword. A gentleman of Shanghai, after enn siderablo experimcntintr, invented a new deadly weapon. This is an elec tric swor.l, which when tho point touch" s tho party attacked, sends a powei ful shock through him,and if not immediately killing will at least put him hois du combat. Tho sword is an ordinary military sabre, but along its whole length is let in a fine platinum wire, which ends at tho foil of tho wea pon. A small but very powerful stor age battery is carried strapped about tho waist, much tlio same as a cartridge box. Insulated wires connect tho bat tery with tho sword, and by pres-iing a button the holder can complete tho circuit at pleasure. A statistical expert calculates lliat if 1,000,000 babies started together in tlio race of life 150,000 would drop out in tho first year, 53,000 in tho second and 22,000 in the third year. At the end of forty.fivo years about half of them would bo still in the race. Sixty years would see 370,000 gray heads at it. At tho end of eighty years there would ho 9"j000 remaining on tlio track ; fifteen years later tlio num ber would bo reduced to 223 and tho winner would quit tho track forever at tho ago of 108. It was anno'inced that the Thomas Paino Socioty of Frederick county,Md., would eeli bralo the seventy-seventh anniversnry of Tom Paine's death at tho houso of Aaron Davis,near Freder ick ; but not a celebrater appealed. Mr. Davis himself observed tho day by not working. Ho said that,whilo there wero only about a dozen members of tho Fociety, there wero threo or four hundred bclievois in tho Paino tloo nines hi tho oo.inty, but fear of social ostracism or injury to thoir business caused them toinako.a secret of their views. Muiidny, the Georgia revivalist, who is trying to convert Nashville, is r ro formed gambler, circus juggler, and variety ncto.-. Ho is 30 years old, straight as an arrow.and good looking. At a rcoent meeting iu Nashvillo it is reported that "two gray-haired sinners, with bolh of whom tho preacher had previously played pokor, professed con version and wept bitterly at tho mom. ory of their eirors." There aro scores of persons who aro r- r r ... - .. njueiiiig irom somo ionn ot uiooti dis order or skin disease, such as Scrofula, Boils, eta, etc. After a practical test, J, H. Mercer asserts that Acker's Wood Elixir will certainly euro all such dis casts, including Syphillis and llhoiim ntism. Itis net a patent nostrum, but a scientific- preparation, ho guaianties it. J. II. Morcer wishes to mako an assertion, which ho can back with n positive eunranteo. It is all about Ackers Wood Elixir. Ho claims for it superior merits over all other remed ies of its kind, nnd gunrantccs for it a positive and sure euro for ijlieumntism, Syphillis, and all blood disorders, it frees tho skin from spots nnd disease, and leaves tho comploxiou clear Ask him about it After a thorough test J. II. Mercer most positively nsseits that Acker's English Ifemcdy is the best medicine for asthma, croup, coughs, whooping cough and nil lung troubles that cau he lound. Ask him about it, for ho fully guarantees it. J. JL Mercer would especially recom. mend to tho ladies Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets. As a laxativo they havu no equal. They aro guaranteed to euro Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, nnd all diseases aiising from a deranged stomach. With a free uso of tho Tab. lets, Sick Hoadaoho is impossible. EXHAUSTEMITALITY.
