From the above table of facts and figures,
the following truths present themselves SO
plainly. that no one can overthrow them
-"they are there"
We find then, from this authority. that
the average price Of cotton in the United
States, from 1907 TO 1872 period of five
years Immediately prior to the expiration
of the old Bank of the United States 10
1911, to be the same as during the period Of
the five years following. during which there
was no Bank-the average price of each
period of five years being about l8 cents per
pound. During the next five years, or the
first five years after the Bank is chartered,
the average price of cotton runs upto % l-2
cents-being an increase of ) l-2 cents per
pound.
The first Bank of the United States was
chartered 1871. The price of cotton, as
the table shows, for the two years preceding
the charter Of the Bank, was A l-2 cents
The next year the Bank was chartered and
went into operation. and cotton rose to 81
cents pound-the next year to % cents
and kept rising for series of years The
average yearly price of cotton during that
twenty years existence of this Bank, is

From the Philadelphia Public Leger.
Origin OF the Human pSpce.

In your paper of Wednesday morning,
under the editorial head, observe an al
ticle informing your readers that the New
York Express has published an entirely
new hypothesis on the Origin and Spread
of the Human Race" The argument,
you say, is, that Adam signifies race Of
men. My object in addressing You on
tho present occasion is to inform you and
your numerous and respectable readers
that there Isl society in this city called the
Bible Christians who have held the view
here called q" entirely ne,0" for upwards
of thirty years. They do no. confne the
meaning Of the term Adam to race, but
attach to it the idea of mankind, as being
the full sense of the original.
Sir Richard Phillips also evidently en-
tertaned the same view, for in work
published some thirty-fve years ago, he
says: In looking upon the recorded va.
rielles of our species, from the wooly
headed African 10 the long haired Asiatic,
from the blue-eyed and white haired Goth
to the black-eycd and black-hared North
American, and from the gigantic pa,ago.
nian to the dwarlish Laplander, we arc
led 10 believe tina! the human species must
radically have been as various as any
other species of animated beings and il
seems as unphilosphical, as impious to
limit the powers of creation to pairs OF
kind, and to ascribe their actual varieties
to the operations of chance"
Again, we no where read in the Bible
of Adam and Eve having any daughters,
and yet it is said that Cain went and
dwelt in the land of Nod on the cast o
Eden. And Cain knew his wife, &C."
Now if the term Adam implies mankind
both the above difficulties are explained.
A word more TO the Society called
Bible Christians. Their views in rela,
ton TO creation, the food, and the Di,i
nifty are more philosophical, and more in
harmony with the recent discoveries o.
science, than those Of the generality o
Christians. They abstain from all ANNA
! food, and subsist on fruits, grain, &c.

miles, like the Mississippi, actually runs
up the country, fol- its mouth is higher
than its source. DR.. Smith says, There
is curious circumstance connected with
the Mississippi. 1t. runs from north to
south, and its mouth is actually four miles
higher than its source--a result due TO
the centrifugal motion of the earth. Thir-
teen miles is the difference between the
equatorial and tho polar radius and the
river, in flowing 1000 miles, has TO rise
one third of this distance--it being the
height Of tire equator above the pole. If
this centrifugal force, then, were not con-
tinued, the rivers would flow back, and
the ocean would overflow the land.--1er-

a cutlass, fastened to piece Of wood three
feet long. My first thought was to alarm
the party. tried TO get pistol from the
holster, which might shoot my opponent
and give the alarm at the same time. This,
however, | soon found to be out Of the
ques,ion-for it required my undivided
attention to parry the vigorous blows Of
the savage, which he followed up without
ntcrmission, his longer weapon giving
him an advantage. AS soon as atiemp-
ted to get pistol he would aim furious
blow at my right hand. This play con-
tinued until was nearly exhausted with
the effort of parrying his blows. At
length he struck furously at my sword
arm. diverted his cutass from the in
tended direction, but it alighted upon my
head with so much force as to deprive me
momentarily of sense. Whether | fell,
or whether I was dragged from my horse,
| cannot tell--.but when | came to was
lying on my back on the ground. The
savage had planted one knee on my breast,
and was exuliing over me with fiendish
laugh as if assured of my destruction.-
What was worse than all, my right hand
was in manner pinioncd to the ground.
for my sword, which was fastened TO my
wrist with deerskin throngs, had fallen
under me, were it was retained by my
weight and that my foe the Indian had
drawn from his belt the bowekn(e, and as
l saw it about 10 descend into my vitals,
my strength, which had deserted me since
the blow on my head, came back with
more than natural fitness. Three times
he struck at me. Twice | received the
old knife in my right arm, and the third
time it gashed the fingers fmy left hand.
Still my right arm was held down, and
my fate seemed inevi!abe--and to die in
such way! murdered with rusty old
bowekniie dying, ard no one would
know how or where became almost
frantic with rage and desperation, and re-
ncwed my struggles with so much yio-
lence that the thongs which bound my
wrist were severed en- the edge of the

Richard was himself again. Instantly !
thrust my lef; hand fingers into his mouth.
and held him firmly by the cheek :; at the
same time | took pistol from my belt
and discharged it in his ear. He fell
upon his side, but did not relax my hold
upon the cheek until certain that he was
dead. The report Of my pistol alarmed
the rear party, who found me faint from

When came TO myself found was

The Rev. A. G. Thomas lccured adverse to the
absurd doctrines of Millerism, at the Brooklyn On
~ Lyccum a week or two ago. The ~ Y. Ex-
press notices his discourse thus:
The foundation of Miller's theory was
upon the prophecies of Daniel and the
Apocalypse. The precise year of 1913
was obtained in several ways, by the diff
ferent lengths of time he allowed for the
accomplishment of the prophecies, and
by the manner in which he computed the
time meant by the $500 days in Daniel,
and the 20 years. That MIXERS theory
was erroneous, he proved by quoting
some prophecies in which the term OF
days and years were used, and the length
Of time taken proves completely that days
and years were used in prophecy as in
common language with us now.
As instances, he quoted first the de-
struction of Nincveh predicted by Jonah,
and that it was destroyed a, the time spe-
Gifted, no one could doubt, he said. SO
in the case of Joshua in his promise to
the Israeltes that he would take them
across the Red Sea in three days instead
Of yenrs.---lIo also quoted the passage in
Genesis, where God promised Noah that,
at the end of seven days it should rain
forty days and forty nights, which was al
so fully completed; and to show, in a
more striking light the absurdily of calling
IS done by Miller, he would apply the
rule to some of the passages quoted by
Miller, as, for instance, Nebuchadnezzar
was to pass seven times seven years
among the beasts of the field. Millcr's
rule of year for a day would leave Ne
buchadnezzar at grass at the present time
and 1870 years to remain And apply it
TO the 70 years captivity of the Jews at
Babylon, they have at present more time
to fulfil than has yet elapsed. The other
errors in Miller's calculation are of the
same sort.
