August Shrader, traveling .over the icdnlnty as a "divine Healer," is now located at Anderson. His quarters were be-i-efg£d yesterday by curious peop.'e.. In rekppoce to aqu^ry he said: -'Should Christ appear on earth ouce more he nould ag.iiu tiecrncifi'd It is the SHtn* with nie. I b«ve m\ ersp-'nt-rs, «nd HIWH S expect to have, but th--y are.few in con pi. sion wi the nnghu armv, thf ffliuted vvuom- ills I have ban shed."

Shrader is another one of those fellows who claims "divine power He is only 24 years old, yet be claims to be able t3 cure any disease by the simple process of touching. These "divins heaiers" are springing up all over the country, but they should be given a wide birtb. Miracles were performed in the olden times by Christ, but since that time, none have been performed. We had a sample, of "miud" or f*ith cure in the persoa of Dr. Haines. Our peop'e will remember tbe circumstances. Our advice to people wou'd be: "D m'r pay any attention to these so called bealers. Ttiey are frauds, and are ouly working for notoreity-

A Horril Ore-tiu.

As we waited at the station for the train, wh ch wis» lite, -n^ of the pnsseagers noticed that a negro employed on the freight pUtrorm nid fallen asleep. For 10 cent's a negro d'aynain place a bag of shelled corn on the sleepers kneeas, a second ou his stomach and thiid

his bead. As the weight didn't wake him, another bag was placed on his on:ach, maKi ig about 370 pounds resting on him. He suored away for three minutes grew uneasy, began to mutter aud at the end of five minutes threw the sacks ff and sat up and looked around in a duz^d way. "Anything wrong, Ribe?" asked the dray nan. '•Fo' de Lawd, but I'ze had de worsest dream dat I eber drempt! I'ze all in cold blood!"

What was it?" "Drempt dat I had sich a sore froat I coudn' swaller an' de old woman brought hum two chickens some yam au' a possum an' dun cooked an' ear, de hul outfit, wid me sittin' right by au' not able to open my mouM Lawd save me, but didn't I suffer when I saw de las, of deai chickens gwice down her ole froat!"— Detroit Free Press.

Purify the bloody tone up and cleanse the system.

The bowels and kidneys are nature's provision for carrying off the waste products of the body life in other words, they are natural sewers of tbe body.

When these sewers become obstructed the waste maiter which is retained in the body, soon become^ putrid, and the whole system suffers from a process of slow poisoning by this putrid matter, which is re-absorbed into the bleed.

The poi.-oning thus produced must give rise to one or all of a large number of symptoms, chief among them being frequent headache, impaired digestion, sour stomach, loss of appetite, neuralgia, general tire feeling, biliousness, sallow complexion, bal taste in the mouth on rising in the morning, foul breath, dizziness, etc.

PRAYERS BEFORE TgCFTgE.

Ctfi£l3i%li*ocatloag by Fujaow ttlatafical

G8& bfy the earliest recoi^ story of a pi&yer before battle is^fyj^of Childeiic, king of Qaul, a pagajiwho before going'into battle at Zue)pi^hr eqme 400 years-'afrer Christ, prayed to the God of the Christians to help' him to Victory. His foe was Attila, king of the Hons, and Childerio vowed if God would give him the victory he would embrace the Christian faith.

The prayer of a Hungarian officer before one of the battles fought for the independence of Hungary in 1849 was as follows: "I will not ask thee, Lord, to help us, and I know thou wilt not help the Austrians, but if thou wilt sit on yonder hill thou shalt not be ashamed of thy children." This was the prayer of the "Fighting Eishop" Leslie before one of the battles fought in Ireland: "O God, for our unworthiness we are not fit to claim thy help, but if we are bad our enemies are worse, and if thou seest not meet to help us we pray thee help them not, bnt stand thou neuter on this day and leave it to the arm of the flesh."

The one offered before the battle of Edgehill by Sir Jacob Astley was: "Thou knowest, O Lord, that I shall be very busy this day, and if,I forget thee forget thou not me," and then the command followed, "March on, boys!" As King Edward advanced with his columns to Bannockburn he remarked to his aids, seeing the Scotch on their knees "See, they kneel. The rebels are asking pardon." D'Umphraville was heard to remark: "Yes, but it is to the King of kings. These men conquer or die on this field."

Oliver Cromwell had public prayers before going to battle on several occasions—as, for instance, previous to the battle of Dunbar. It is a curious fact that the English prayer book contains prayers, or at least one prayer, to be said before going into action at sea, while nothing is provided for use before engagements on land.—New York Herald.

KILLINGS BY WHOLESALE.

Four Thousand Murders a Tear In Italy. Most Violent of Civilized Countries.

A homicide occurs every two hours in Italy. This was one of the many startling statements made by Baron Garofalo, a distinguished Italian criminologist, in a lecture delivered on "Criminality in Relation to the Education of the People" in the Roman college. His audience included Queen Margherita.

In Italy the annual loss of life by homicide (usually by lethal weapons) numbers about 4,000 souls. Compared with France, for instance, she has 10 homicides a year for France's 1, and 35 for Denmark's 1. The Latin populations, indeed, in both hemispheres have a bad pre-eminence over the Teutonic in crime generally, and of these Latin populations the Italian is the worst.

Baron Garofalo proceeded to give the reasons why. In the first place, vendetta, which in Greece was heroism and in mediaeval Europe a laudable custom, has lingered longer in Italy than in any other country dueling, also, is more frequent in Italy than elsewhere. Tothe religious instruction given in Great Britain and the United States of America he attributed the fact that these countries have in 40 years diminished by one-half the annual proportion of their delinquents and mendicants, while in Italy the want of similar instruction has resulted in the positive increase of delinquency and mendicancy since 1862. When to these considerations we add the increased hardness of living in the young kingdom, the strain put upon the moral resisting power by a crushing poverty, the squalid dwellings, the defective alimentation, by which the brain is starved, when it is not actually poisoned, by the stimulants in which relief from misery is sought, and the depreciation of life as it exists under such conditions, we arrive at an ensemble of causes which quite accounts for these sad statistics.

The Blind Slave Girl* of Canton.

Passing down the streets of Canton at night, my attention was called to numbers of blind girls from 14 to 18 years of age dressed in brilliant outer garments, with their faces rouged and their hair ornamented with flowers. A woman, carrying a musical instrument, led several of these girls, and I have since learned that they were owned by this mistress, who conducted them, by night, to the lowest parts of the city, and by their playing, singing, and in most disreputable ways, she secures an income through them that enables her to live in ease and comfort. I have met no class of persons that seemed so pitiable as these blind singing girls. It is regarded an affliction tfor a girl to be born in a Chinese family, and when the girl is blind, her life is one of ceaseless neglect and cruelty, and often, if the family is poor, she is sold for a small amount to one of these dealers in human bodies, who plies her nefarious business until death snatches her victim from her.—Baltimore Sun.

Sir Joseph Barnby.

"Although Sir Joseph Barnby belonged to the pedantic school," says The Saturday Review, "the iron of its chains never entered into his soul, and at heart he seems to have been something of a Bohemian, fonder of the enjoyable rather than the merely correct both in life and in art. He did not com* pose much, but he was the writer of some songs which had a vogue, of tbt most popular part song ever written* •nd of Bome church muuio which towhM tbe high water mark of ita kind, ii katd to aee who mill take bit
