THE AGE OF MIRACLES NOT PASSED.
Irenans was blessed with prophetic Wis.,
ions, and says: "We hear of many of the
brethren who speak in tongues and heal the
sick" Origen, born near the close of the
second century, says There are no longer
any miracles among the Jews but many
vestiges of miraculous works among the
Christians" Gregory, one Of Origen's
pupils, was accompanied by so many signs
and spiritual tests that he was styled
'Thaumaturgus, the wonder worker"
Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, was gifted
with clairvoyance and open converse with
the inhabitants of the heavens. Constan-
tine, who nationalized Christianity, saw the
form of the cross in the heavens; Savono-
rola prophesied; Tasso heard spirit voices /;
Joan of Arc had marvellous visions and
heard "angel music" like John on Pat
mos. The Wesleys had wonderful mani
festatons in their own houses. Sweden
borg conversed with spirits twenty-sever
years of his life. George Fox, the good
English Quaker, possessed the spiritua
gifts of "second sight" and healing. Anr
Lee. the hlacksmith's daughter, was 0
yisionist and prophecies.

YERBA BrTENA.--Yerb Buena, or Goat
Island, having suddenly become famous
on account Of the Union Pacific railroad
company wishing to become its owner, is
thus described: It is rock waste of one
hundred and twenty acres in the. Bay OF
San Francisco of some prospective value to
the government. BY constructing a long
bridge from Oakland to the island the rail-
road company could secure deep har-
borage for ships and ample warehouse
room Immediately on the shore, at an ex-
pense of, probably, about SO 900, 900, and
at saving of cost of about 50 per ton for
lighterage, wharfage, etc., now exacted by
the shippers of San Francisco. The city
itself does not afford the facilities needed for
the transfer of freight to ocean-going ships,
except by means of lighters. Vast piles of
produce, especially of wheat just after
harvest and before the rainy season sets in,
are stacked out of doors and subjected to
serious damage. In the hurry of that brief
time the company need facilities for ship
ping 10000 tons of freight daily, as they
could easily do on the island.
That San Francisco should oppose this
is perfectly natural. The removal of the
terminus of the road to the island would
kill vast business now based on the in
conveniences of the harbor. But on the
other hand, two continents demand better
facilities for the shipment and delivery Of
produce, and the interest of San Francisco
happens to be in antagonism with that Of
California, the United States, China and
Japan.

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

REPRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
i the fist time in an extended way, the +.
(FAMILY FAvORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing-machmsts, and by
them SO pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867; .ss1d
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Naryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock-sttch will do; t
BECAUSE, it will do what most OF them can
not do We say this without dsparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a woman's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just little darling" and so
easy to learn. t,.
Price the same as any other flrst-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, If desired.
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free. -1el III tL4Aa.1

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by H. M. Smith s. CO., accom-.
plishes what has always been a desideratum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
lance between the hills
3 All planters, depending upon brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the Quantity dropped
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.

GENTLEMEN,--Mr. Robinson on yesterday put
your Corn Planter to work. He says 1t is the
only planter he has ever seen that he would
work. We have at New Castle two other plant
ers but would not use them. Mr. Robinson, MIR
Ruffin, DIR. Dupee and Mr. Ashlin were all pre-
sent, and all preferred this-"Smiths Planter
to any they have ever seen work We had near
ly finished planting before using yours. We
shall want for another year two or three OF
them. The man, horse and planter are now do.

The people at large have called for
reform, for amnesty, and an honest,
peaceful and efficient administration.
The convention at Cincinnati has
responded thereto, and offer what is
asked for-what is SO much needed
and everywhere throughout the
whole country the people who Wish
reform in the place of corruption,
amnesty in the place of tyranny, and

he should be driven to take the stump
and press the claims of Mr.. Greeley"
it would be against candidate
Grant who had donemore and kinder
things for the South, than he Mr.. Gree
ley had done. He had just mentioned
what these kind things were-Grant's
threatening to resign if General Lee
was arrested. He, like Mr.. Stephens,
thinks that Horace Greeley's journey
to Richmond to go on the bond Of
Jefferson Davis was 'no more mag

would do upon a certain contingency
