JOHN Boss, l shor of Hom-, sweet Home, Prisoners Together. qhe Southern World. hs Howard Payne, the author «Pome Sweet Home,’’ was a warm gal friend of Jonn Ross, who gill be remembered as the celebrated diet of the Cherokees. At the nme the Cherokees were removed fem their homes in Georgia to their nt posessions we tof the Mis- sissippi river, Payne was spending a few weeks in Georgia with Ross, who was occupying a miserable j cabin, having been forcibly ejected from his former home. of the prominent Cherokees were ia prison, and that portior of Geor- gia in which the tribe was located was scoured py army squacs of the Ceorgia militia, who had orders to arrest all who retused to leave the country. While Ross and Payne were seated before the fire in the hut, the door was suddenly bursted opea aad six or eight militiamen sprang into the room. The soldiers lost no time in taking their prisoners away. Ross was permitted to ride his own horse, while Payne was mounted on one led by a sol- dier. As the little party left the tT hovel rain began failing and con- tinued until every man was drenched thoroughly. The journey lasted all night. Loward midaight Payne’s escort, im order to keep himself awake, began humming; *tHome Sweet, Home,’? when Payne re- marked : “Little did I expect to hear that song urder such circumstances and atsuch atime. Do you know the author!’ “No,” said you?” “Yes,’’ answered Payne, ‘I cem- posed it.’ “The devil you did. You can tell that tosome fellows but not to Louk here. You made that song you say. It vou did—and I know you did’nt—vou can say it without stepping. It has something in it about pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in and reel it off, and if you can’t I’ll bounce you from your horse and lead you instead of it.*’ The threat was answered by Payne, who repeated the song in slow subdued tone, and then sang it, making the old woods ring with the tender melody and pathos of the words. It touched the heart of the rough soldier, who was not only cap- tivated but was convinced, and who said the composer of such a song | Should never go to prison if he ceuld help it. And when the party reached Mil- ledgeville they were, after a prelin- inary exarnination, discharged, much to their surprise. Payne insisted that it was because the leader ot the squad had heen under the magnetic influence of Ross’s cenversation, and Noss insisted that they had been saved irom insult and impris- onment by the power of ‘-Home, Sweet Home,”’ sung as only those who feel can sing it. The triend- Ship existing between Ross and Payne endured until the grave closed ever the mortal remains of the lat- ter. the soldier. **Do me. The statistics of Spanish Prores- tantism show thirty-two churches or chapels—six .in Madrid, two in Barcetona, three in Seville, and one in each of the twenty-one important towns, chiefly Seaports, inthe south and west of the penmsula. There are alse twenty-three missions in the rural districts, with bible societies, schools, for beth sexes, adult classes, mius- sions for women conducted by lady teachers, and Sunday schools. {in Madrid and fifteen provincial towns there are large numbers of children in the schools, and com- ‘Municants in the chapels in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Cadiz and Biloa. Protestantism prevails most among the poor. Few of the middle.class- esbelone to it. The present gov - etmment and the authorities display the utmost tolerance compatible with the constitution, and with the in- tolerant spirit of Spanish Catholic- that there 1s in Spain ism.

The advertis- | ing agent whe amasses a fortune by | bull-doxing the country press snould i | be sat down upon and made to un- | derstand that it they do their adver- tising they’ must expect to pay for it. | The papers of the country have themselves to blame for the low ; prices that are offered them for their ; work. The agent knows when he started out his circular, offering $2 tor $25 worth of space, that, while perhaps the majority of the papers to which he sends it will throw it aside without a second thought, that he will strike others with a meagre patronage and lets of blank space who think that two dollars 1s better than nothing, and accepts; he ceives enough ot these to answer his Purpose and thus gets his work done at about one-tenth what it is worth. A patent medicine man comes along and wants a half column of locals in each 1-sue at about one-fifth your usual price, yeu kick, perhaps, but his slick tongue is used to such at- tairs and before you realize what you have done he is going out the door with a smile on his face and a contract in his pocket bouk. The remedy ‘for this lies in the papers of the State or of any one section thereof, combining and adopting a scale of prices with a penalty tor coming under them. Let tnese prices be put-at living rates and conspicuously displayed in each office and let that be the an- swer to every demand for a lower rate. All the papers going into this, these parties, who are often compelled to advertise their wares, will not get their cheap mediums, and will be forced to pay the prices demanded. We have been dicta- ted to long enough, let us take the a lit- fu- re- ( i reins in our own hands and de tle ef ihe dictating ourselves in ture. There has been a noteworthy in- crease of humane societies in this country in a few years, and. the multiplication of societies tor the preventiongof cruelty to children since (875\% wpen the first society was established here, is significant ot the spread of the spirit of oppo- sition to the brutality of which chil- dren are the victims. There are | torty such societies that have been erganized in the past seven years. | New York State leads the list in numbers, and, curiously enough, Wisconsin comes next, while Con-| necticut, with its vast number of mill villages, has but one of these societies, and Massachusetts has but two in all her cities. Where dis- cretien governs the work ot such so- cieties, the mere knowledge of the act that they exist must be a deterrant | to the evils they seek to correct, Some et them areturning their at-; tention to enfercing the law pre: | venting the sale of liquorto minors. The report ef the Brooklyn society refers to the death ot several! chil-/ eren as a result of the sale to them of liquor. % H ree iste | Cotten M: Is in the Sou'h. | New York Herald. { We observe that certam unhappy Pennsylvania manufacturers are be- wailing the idleness of their looms | consequent on the erection ef merous cotton mills in the South. So tar from considering this as an fortunate circumstance in the ufacturing interests of the Nerth, it should be hailed as one of the most encouraging signs of the times. With a radical change in the labor! system of the Seuth, it was imposs-} ible that she should remain simply a | producer, and the best evidence ot | her full determination te regain un- der new conditions her former portance in the markets ef the world is her effort te handle her’vast crops in the factery as well i ;fiald. Some temporary inconveni- ences may be felt in certain mulling } localitiesin the North, but the coun- | try at large cannot failto be ben- efited eventually by this new bus- ‘iness interest in the Southern States. nu- un-} man- | im- | as in the: | corener’s jury was not fat A BRITISH BELLE Tskes the President’s Criticel By-.

In the event ot the narriage President Arthur can, at the end of his term, carry into effect what is understood tu be long cher- ished wish on kis own pert, tu ‘revel extensively abroad. Indeed, it !e ruth does not usually readers as the larger dailies do witla items from annais of the peerage, but inthis instance the reference may beceme deeply interesting. Miss West’s grandfaiher was Lord De La Warr, a decendent of the Lord of that name who was a great General in Edward III’s time, anda decendent also of the peer aftcr whom Delaware was named. The present peer ot that name her uncle and another uncle was a famous General in the Crimean war. Miss West is not yet ot age, but has allthe charms of person that add to the dignity and presence of a much older woman. Oddly enough, the President of the United States 1s British subject under British law, which extends the right of subject- ship to the son or grandson of a@ British-born subject, although he is born abroad; and President Arthur’s father was a British subject, and if the ex-President ever resides in Bn- gland he would, by the courtesy of the Court, take precedence along “with ex-sovereigns. The marriage is thus indicated | would certainly show that President Arthur disdained half-breedism and remained-a constant stalwart, even in the government of Hymen.
