The Bible Cause IN Illinois.


KNOX ca. BmLE SpcIrTY.--Thc Annua,
Meeting of this Society was held on the 9Th
ult., when the house was filed by an intel
ligent congregation and interesting address
cs delivered by Prof Grant, and Rev.
Messrs, Gale, Bascom and Vail. At this
meeting Il nation Of $1,000 was voted to
aid the American Bible Society in supplying
the destitute elsewhere. THIS is a larger
donation than has ever before been made by
an auxiliary in Illinois in one year with
perhaps single cXccptonj and the Knox
Go. Bible Society is now the Banner Bible
Society Of the state. It was organized IN
1886 but its rcmittances to y. Y. during the
past two years are nearly double what they
were during the first seventeen years Of lis
existence. This is owing partly to the
adoption ola different plan Of operating and
partly TO the efficiency Of Mr.. T. G. Harris.

4 Remarkable Curiosity.

A correspondent in Mercer county sends
us the following, account Of a remarkable
curiosity, recently found near Rockwell S
Mills, in Warren O2udT1d Spec
tdtOr.
MEssRs. EDS SPECTATOR Il notice in your
paper accounts Of a great many specimens
Of natural curiostics, and thinking the ac-
count of something new in that line would
prove interesting to your readers, append it,:
The curiosity | refer to, is beautiful
landscape impressed upon large white
flint rock, some three inches long by two
inches wide. Tho surface Of the rock is
perfectly smooth, and the picture ndelible
and equal to any photograph. Tho rock
was picked up at Rockwelfs Mills, and the
picture represents the high bluff opposite
the Mill, Tor some two hundred yards up and
down the creek, commencing at the turn Of
the bluff, where the road comes down, ana
extending to n spring Immediately below the
mill dam, The brow of the bluff is covered
with thick growth Of hazel bushes. Below
the line Of bushes the naked limestone crops
out, and Immediately below this is bank
Of red and yellow clay. Along the margin
is the creek, with willow bushes growing on
the bank, and Immediately above the spring
is an oak tree, which is also faithfully repre-
scntcd.
The above answers the description Of the
rock, as near as | can give it. But the most
wonderful thing about it is the exact likeness
of everything impressed on it. The green
foliage on the bushes and trees, the white
lime rock, and the red and yellow streaks of
clay are all faithfully represented as ifpaint.
ol hy thn most skillIl artist and woulI cam.
pare favorably with any aguerrcotypc-ex
ceiling it, indeed, in point of color.
The rock was found by n gentleman named
Stewart, in whose possession il now is.
Can you give any explanation of the man.
ner in which this picture was produced?
Yours truly, j. I. II.

The editor of the Peoria Press mentions
the discovery Of new specie of coal in the
valley of Kickapoo creek, Il miles from that
city, on the Peoria and Oquawka X. r. 1t
has the appearance of very fine article of
anthracite, though softer is perfectly clean
and free from dust, light and easily broken,
has brlliancy which gives it transparent
appearance, and is apparently free from sui.
phur. The vein is supposed TO cover over
ninety acres, and as far as Investigations
have been made, it does not fall short of
thickness of five feet in any place yet opened
This quality Of coal is supposed to form but
a small portion of the great mass Of coal
which is embedded in the bluffs along the
kickapoo Creek.

KANSAS AfrAiRs. If the Stringfcllows
and friends Of slavery generally in Kansas
use strong language and talk Of war in car.
ryng the institution into that territory,
they are not the only ones that play at that
game The editor Of the Kansas 7r,JUne, a
free state paper, seems quite match for the
nosicst Of them in bclliscosc rhetoric. In
the Chicago 7ribuRc we find half column
Of extracts from the paper alluded TO, pa
ragraph or two of which will show their spi.
rit:
There is no doubt in our mind that a san
culinary conflict is at hand. The course that
the Slavery Propaganda have pursued and
are pursuing, will inevitably involve the ma
ton in war. The blow may be first com
menccd here but when once commenced, il
will not be confined to Kansas. The whole
nation must be involved. On the one side,
it will be a war of right and of lberty-not
only liberty for the slave, but liberty for
ourselves on the other it will be war of
chains and slavery. OF the result of such a
conflict, it is useless for us to speak, further
than that slavery will never survive it, We
indeed regard the course pursued by the Sla.
very Propaganda as well calculated to shor-
ten the existence Of slavery by years.
No mob can enter any Of the settled por-
tons Of Kansas, and commit dcprcdations
without stern and manly resistance. The
day has gone 10y for mobbing the people
here. Depredations may be committed
without notice by large parties upon a single
individual-as in the case of the cowardly
assault upon PhiIips-but no attack upon
any considerable body will be made, with.
out the assailants being shot in their tracks
The spirit of the people is aroused and they
will no longer tamcly submit to outrage

TIE "MAINE LAw."-Gcneral Carey, of
Ohio, distinguished temperance lecturer,
says that Neal Dow is not the originate? of
the Prohibitory Law, authorizing the seizure
and destruction of liquor in this country.
The honor or imprccations should be heapcd
upon another hcad-no less a one than that
of General Andrew Jackson, who, as PrcSi-
dent OF the United States, "took the rcSpon.
sibiiity" to approve a law of Congress which
authorized, empowered and commanded all
United States officers to seize, conGscatc,
and destroy, without benefit of jury, or
right of appeal, all spirituous liquors, whe-
ther in the "original package" or not, or
whether domestic or imrortod, IL found up
on Indian territory; and that passed by
Democratic Congress, and approved by
Democratic President is still in full force.

The action Of the great national X. y.
