DIE ID.


On Saturday the 18th of February, at his resi-
dence in Wellsburg, Va, Maj. JAMES MILLER, Of
dropsy Of the chest, aged nearly 60 years.
Mr.. Miller was born in Berkely county Va, on
the Sd of April 1881; moved 10 Jefferson CO., Ohio
in 1871, and finally in the Fall of 1914 changed
his residence to Wellsburg where he closed up the
scenes Of his earthly life.
He was brother of the late Governor John Mil
Ter of this State, and father of Mr. John Miller of
this vicinity. The Wellsburg Herald says: The
closing of his earthly career were such as the
evenly and gentle course of his life would have in
dictated. He was free from gloomy forebodings;
and his mind was filled with heavenly hopes
Fears of death found no harbor in the soul, which
grace had occupied for years; but bssful prospects
spread out along the great future-and when the
hour of his departure came he sank gently, and
with scarcely pang, into the unbroken slumbers
of the grave.

LATER FROM CHINA.

An arrival at San Francisco brings dates from
Hong Kong to Dec. 8th.
The sCentral F'Iowery Kingdom, it seems, is
still disturbed by rebellion; Saw-Chaen, the re-
bel chief, still maintains his position despite the
efforts of the imperasts; and hi. followers are
urged on ty religious impulses. there is no FORE
telling the result. Contrary to the generally re-
csive1 opinion, the insurgents are fighting for re-
ligious instead Of political freedom. The Rev.
J. J. Roberts, an American Missionary resident
in China, writes to friend in California that
Saw-Chaen, surnamed Hung, the chief leader
of the rebellion, studied Christianity 10 Canton
some five or six years ago, and now, instead Of
attempting to upset the Government, he appears
to be struggling for religious liberty contradis-
tinguished from idolatry. About 100000 men
have rallied to his standard, and great and lasting
results may follow the train of events. If, as
stated he has already rallied to his standard,

lites, Shooting Stars; Closter Life of Charles

teors, Aeroites and the Shooting Stars, the wri.
ter reviews, at considerable length. the various
iheories that have been suggested to explain the
origin OF Meteoric stones. He rejects as I'M
satisfactory oil the hypothesis which ascribe to
these bodies terrestrial or a lunar origin, and
adopts the theory of La Place and Humboldt,
"nich presumes that they come to us from the
distant ''depths of celestial space" It is sup.
posed that in addition to the planets smaller por
tons OF matter likewise revolve around the sun,
and that when the earth, in its progress around
that luminary, hnppens to into proximity
to the eccentric orbits of these meteroiets, thew
are brought within her influence and attracted to
her surface.
The writers of every ageand of every country
have recorded the fall of stones from the sky,
W" nv" VI Se'o"eo ooSttlhtoiy perSeVef6u In their
unbelief, until near the close of the last century.
In the year 1895, stone weight ng fifty-six
pounds fell in Yorkshire, England. Its fail was
seen by two persons, and it was Immediately
placed in the hands of an eminent chemist of
the time. few months later great shower of
stones, two or three thousand in number, fell in
the French Province of Normandy. NJ Blot. a
distinguished French savant, Immediately visited
the spot and authenticated the event. Since
that epoch no one acquainted with the subject
has doubted the fact, that stones do actually fall
from the sky.
1t is a curious and interesting fact, that these
bodies contain no new elements. Iron is pre-
dominant in all of them. They also contain
"copper" TIM sulphur, magnesia, and number of
OF her earthly substances. We are therefore JUS
tilted in concluding that the material composition
OF those distant orbs. which revoys in the re.
gions of space, is similar to that of the planet
we inha bit.

it may be believed, for she is strong enough no.
to deceive any one.
Let US, therefore, thank Providence for the
visible projection which it has accorded to our
efforts; let Us persevere in this of irmness
and moderation, which treasures without irrita-
ting, which leads to good without violence and
prevents all reaction. Let us always reckon
on God and on ourselves, npon the mutual sup
port which owe to ourselves. and let us be
proud to see in shot time this great coun-
try pacifed, prosperous at home. and honored
