The Age of Our Earth.

Among the astonishing discoveries of
modern science, is that of the immense pc
RODS that have passed in the gradual forma-
ton of the earth. So vast were the cycles
OF time preceding even the appearance of
man on the surface of our globe, that our
period seems as yesterday when compared
with the epochs that have gone before it.
Had we only the evidence of the deposits of
rocks heaped upon each other in regular
strata by the slow accumulation of materials,
they alone would convince us of the long
maturing of Gods works on earth; but
when we add to these the successive popu-
lations, of whose life this world has been the
theatre, and whose remains are hidden in
the rocks, into which the mud, or sand, or
soil of whatever kind, on which they lived,
has hardened in the course of time-or the
enormous chains of mountains whose up.
heaval divided these periods of quiet accrl-
mutation by great convulsions-or the
changes of different nature in the confgu-
ration of our globe, as the sinking of lands
beneath the ocean, or the gradual rising of
continents and islands above-or the slow
growth of coral reefs, those wonderful sea
walls raised by the little ocean architects,
whose own bodies furnish both building
stones and the cement that binds them to-
gether, and who have worked so busily du-
ring the long centuries that there are extern
slve counties, mountain chains, islands and
long lines of coast, consisting solely of their
remains-or the countless forests that have
grown up, fourished and decayed, to fill
the storehouses of coal that feed the human
race-if we consider by these records of the
past, the intellect fails to grasp a chronology
OF which our experience furnishes no date,
and time that lies behind US seems as much
an eternity to our conception as the future
that stretches indefinitely before us.

Death of q Modern Samson

Captain John W. Russell died in Frank
lin county, Kentucky, last week, aged rs
years. The Louisville Courier-Journal SAYS ::
He was famous among Western pioneers for
his strength and intrepidity. He served in
the war of 1912; was member of the State
Senate, and an intimate personal and parti-
san friend of Henry Clay. He was for many
years Mississippi steamboat captain. The
incidents of his force of will and power of
command would fill volume. On one oc.
casion in New Orleans, he had personal
rencontre with the pirate Lafitte, and un-
armed, whipped him and elected him from
ball room. On another, while landed at
Natchez, passenger of his boat was robbed
by the gang which then infested the portion
of the town bordering on the river and
known as "Natchez under the hill" By
surrounding with his crew the house in
which the robbers took refuge, he passed a
cable around it, and, under threats of pull
ing it, with the inmates, into the river, he
compelled the restitution of the money, and
made himself terror to the thieves and
gamblers who then infested the river towns.
OF his great strength, persons who knew
him only in his later years, when enfeebled
by age. would have but little conception
though when in his prime it was known
P from Pittsburg to New Orleans he had lifted
a shaft weighing 1647 pounds, and that he
had carried, entirely across the deck of the
boat, an anchor 1242 pounds weight.

The Juggernauth Waning.

The great Juggemauth or car festival is
over. Accounts have not yet been received
from Pooree, but the Friend Of India makes
the following remarks on the miserable char
acter of the festival at Serampore, the next
most sacred place in India for its celebra.
ton: .-.
"The Juggernauth festival at Serampore
closed on Monday after pitiable fashion
The two great cars still stand on the road
side, half in the ditch, because the people
will not pull them back to their places In
spite OF the numbers hired to pull and to
applaud, the cars were moved on the first
occasion only half the usual distance, and
there they lie in the mud, with the idols
on them and flags flying As usual, the Brah-
minis applied to the authorities to order the
people to pull, but of course in vain. The
common peasantry was heard to reply to the
miserable creatures who urged them from
the car to pull, 1t is all very well, but come
and give hand yourselves The crowd, of
which rough census was taken, was never
more than $4,000 at the highest, and rarely
exceeded 80, 5,000-a third of what it used to
be. For one man there were fifty women
and children. The police, under Mr. Roche
fort, the energetic district superintendent,
kept order well. There were no accidents,
and only three cases of drunkenness. The
spectacle presented by the cars and idols in
the Trunk road, outside of Serampore, may
be regarded as typical of the state of idola-
try at least in and near the great citics-tot-
terlng, but still defiant, with no enthusiasm,
and little faith. ."-London Times.

FASHIONS.

Fall bohnets are decidedly larger than
those of 1astseason. They are high, tower.
ing structures, in the Henri Quatre and Louis
Quinze styles, and once more begin to re-
semb.e bona tide bonnet. The frame fits
the head like close cap, is short over the
ears and worn very far forward. A standing
reyers of velvet or silk is turned up in front
and at the back. The space between these
is filed by high Watteau puff, on which is
heaped mass of trimming which seems to
be held in place by the upright reyers. Mar
row strings of ribbon tied under the chin
hold the bonnet securely. hlrst
Fl, Another style of Quakerish simplicity, re-
semblirg an infants bonnet in shape, has a
close-ftting band in front and deep fiat
back or crown falling into two or three curves
below to fit over the coiffure of chatelaine
braids, with reference to which it was evil
IDENTIFY designed The front frames the face
plainly, without ornament; the back is
adorned with trailing feathers and vines that
hang among the low braids. This simple
and elegant shape is admired in black " lvet,
and will probably become the favorite bon
net for the promenade. .
These two shapes are repeated with slight
variations in the specimen bonnets selected
from the best French houses.
The materials most used for bonnets are
plain velvet royale or uncut velvet and gros
taille-a corded silk heavier than gros grain.
Satin is little used for the bonnet proper,
but is abundant as trimming, in the way of
tiny pipings, facings, ribbon loops, and
strings. l7. ''' ..
Fine ribbons, of gros faille, two. inches
wide, with pearle edge, Others thickly
ribbed across, double faced satin and broad
velvet ribbons, are used for strings, and for
half rosettes and shell bows that are placed
just over the ears or directly in the centre
of the bonnet at the base of ostrich feathers
Two or three shades of velvets and feath-
ers of one of the prominent colors are used
on the same bonnet, or else different mate
rails of the same that give the varied shad-
ed appearance that will be feature in the
winters toilets. Uniformity of colors is to
be preserved, but several shades of the pre-
vailing color will be combined to prevent
monotony. ....
For instance, Lucifer velvet bonnet has
torsedes of darker ruby and feathers of deep
est maroon; an Havana brown is edged with
satin pipings of dark leaf brown; and sky
blue royale has plumes of dark Mexique
and lapis. When contrasts are used they
are usually to relieve black by a gay color,
or to display the warm rich shades of red
that are so largely imported this season.
The material is disposed on the frame in

The Canadians Excited by an American
Flas-A Terrible Outpouring
Of Wrath

On the night preceding Dominion Day
some graceless wag climbed to the top of a
lofty flag pole at Woodstock, near the rail-
way station, which was erected at the time
of the visit of the Prince of Wales, and nail
ed thereon an American flag, bearing the
blacklettered inscription " Annexation. -
No person could be found of sufficient te-
merity to climb the pole and tear down the
rag, particularly as not few persons were
positive that the pole was rotten, and that
the life of any party making the attempt
would certainly be forfeited. There the OBJ
noxious motto fluttered for nearly two
months, in full view of the crowds of tray
eIers passing daily on the railway, and the
reputation of Woodstock was not likely to
benefit by such a display. One of the tele-
graph workmen, accustomed to climbing
poles, was taken up to Woodstock to per-
form the job, but, after climbing about two
thirds of the height he declined to ascend
further, and declared he would sooner re-
sign his situation. Shooting was next re-
sorted to, and a considerable amount of
powder was employed in the effort to de-
stroy the hateful emblem The flag and also
the top of the pole were pretty well shat
tered by this means, and Annexation y was
obliterated from the rag at least On Mon
day last youth in the employ of patent
stove-drum manufacturer happened to be in
town, and, hearing of the matter. he very
readily rendered his services to "go for
the thing. The gallant lad performed the
act handsomely, ascending to the top of the
pole without difficulty, and tearing off the
last shred of the tattered flag. The q ues-
tion is, who was the intrepid individual
that "put up the job" "-HamiltOn (Oatario)

Mr.. EDITOR: Last Friday night, the 27th
ult., in list district, about ten miles from
Fayetteville, colored man named James
Bay (lt being generally known that he kept
gun for his protection) was decoyed out
OF his house by white man named Duncan
Ray, and when outside he was Immediately
surrounded by persons in disguise, who took
him off some distance and made him kneel
down and pray, at the same time threat
ening to kill him if he refused to do so.
While the poor colored man was thus kept
in terror, Others of the same Ku Klux
gang went to his house, took out his cloth
ing and the small quantity of furniture he
had and making pile of the same burnt
it. The Ku Klux told the colored man that
he was thus treated for voting the Republi-
can ticket at the last election, and if he con-
tinued to do so, even worse punishment
would await him. Two of the miserable
desperadoes who were engaged in the out
rage have been identified and are under
bonds to appear at the next term of our
Superior Court. Six others in Cumberland
county are under bonds for similar offences.
The Democrats of the present time have
indeed fallen low and while they cry out
tor amnesty and liberalism are practicing
prescription and genuine radicalism in
every conceivable form for the purpose of
intimidating Republicans. This is the way
in which they intend, if possible, to carry
out their reasonable designs since they have
seen how much the people loathe them.
Though many of them would have us think
that they are willing to accept the situation,
and acquiesce in the present state OF affairs,
and allow the right of suffrage to every
male resident of the State who is twenty
one years old. Still can we believe they are
sincere when numbers of their party com.
nit Ku Klux outrages on peaceable Repub-
licans for mere political differences
Last Saturday night the houses of five
citizens of the county were fired into by
armed Ku Klux, who as yet have gone unpun-
ished. There must have been concert of ac-
ton on the part of the hell-hounds, for all
these houses are in the same neighborhood,
about seven miles from Fayetteville. Seven
shots were fired into one of the houses, and
two struck bed in which persons were
sleeping, little suspecting that cowardly as
sassins were lurking near them to do them
an injury.
Just think of it, Mr.. Editor, here in the
18th century in a Christian land-a land of
liberty and Sunday schools, when the peace
full laborer has quit his toll when the weeks
work is ended, and the Sabbath "a day ap-
pointed by God himself for rest and reli-
gious Worship is near at hand, while he is
quietly reposing on his own bed, and in his
own house, which the law intends for his
castle" at such time the would-be mur-

Excitement.

MACON, Ga, Sep. IA large party of men
enlisted for the Cuban army are at Fort
Gaines, Ga. United States Deputy Marshal
Cox arrived there to-day, and telegraphed
that the citizens are unable to cope with
them and asks for troops. A despatch has
been forwarded to General Terry asking for a
company of troops to be sent to the fort by
special train tonight. District-Attorney
Milledge telegraphed in return to the effect
that he will be here in the morning, and
also the United States{&ursfIaf from Savdn-
nah. Revenue cutters have been ordered to
cruise off the coast to intercept the fillibus-
ters if they should succeed in getting away.
Great excitement prevails here, as many who
jbined the expedition are young men under
age. The United States Commissioners
office has been crowded all day with anx-
ious parents to hear if the authorities have
succeeded in stopping the party. The party
had a special boat chartered to take them
dpwn the river Apalachicola, and are re-
ported as being under command of Major
Bridgeford, formerly of General Lees staff.

Extraordinary seIf.Immolation.

The following statement appeared in the
fPau Mall Gazette:
All the extraordinary proceeding of the
many fanatical sects whose rapid increase
has excited so much anxiety in Russia,
are fairly thrown into the shade by a
terrible act of self.immolation which is
reported from the government of Saratow.
A few months ago the prophets Of a new
religion made their appearance in that part
Of the Empire, preaching self destruction by
fire as the only sure road to salvation; and
SO readily was their dreadful doctrine re-
ceived by the ignorant and superstitious
peasantry that in one large village no less
than seventeen hundred persons assembled
in some wooden houses, and, having barri
caded the doors and windows, set the build
ings on fire and persisted in the flames. The
authorities are doing all they can to stay
the progress of this new madness, but their
task is obviously difficult one The pun
ishments which the law Can inflict must
have little terror for enthusiasts who de-
iberately choose death so horrible as the
true road to heaven.
