Arecent lumberman's circular estimates the
number of railroad ties in present use in the
United States at $50 900, o00 A cut of 200
ties to the acre is above rather than under the
average, and it therefore has required the
product of 80, 600 acres of well-tmbered
land to furnish the supply. Railroad ties last
about FIVE years; consequently 0,0oo,ooo ties
are used annually for repairs, taking the TIM
Der from $50, 600 acres. The manufacture of
rolling stock disposses of the entire yield of
$50 900 acres, and fall supply of nearly $780,
900 acres more, every year. 1t appears, then
that our railroads are stripping the country
at the rate of 1000, 600 acres per annum and
their demands are rapidly increasing.

The NIethodist central University.

From the Jackson Wing and Tri6ule,
we learn that large meeting Of citizens
was held in that city few evenings ago in
behalf of educational purposes. The
above paper, speaking Of the proceedings,
says:
sit was explained by Gen. Campbell that
the board of trustees for West Tennessee
College had met and decided to sell the
college property, and invest the proceeds of
the sale with the endowment fund in inter-
est bearing securities, and tender the whole
in trust TO the "Methodist Central Univer-
sity," provided said University was located
in or near this city. The endowment fund
of West Tennessee College ia $4,000, and
the College property is valued at $4,000,
making total of $4,000. The General
then urged that the city of Jackson should
make tender of $4,000 and grounds for
the erection of the buildings. This was
substantially the proposition, and was re-
ceived with universal approval. A committee
was then appointed, consisting of two from
each ward, and the chairman Of the meet
ing for TIE city at large, to devise ways and
means to carry out this and all other enter
prises involving the prosperity of Jackson"

Tom Paine,

Our readers know something of the great
infidel, Tom Payne, and have heard of his
very powerfuliwr works against Christ
and the Christian religion. A lady of this
city, native of this county, of one of our
Oldest AMI best families, has recenely be-
come or been developed as writing spirit
usl medium, She has frequent communi-
cations with the dead. He- brother, who
had read and studied Paine's Age of Reas-
on, desired a communication from Mr..
Paine, and received the following commu-
nicstion from him:
81 will tell you how l came to believe
there was no Jesus Christ. first read books
against him, and then l got to discussing
him among other disbelievers until they
convinced me was right, and | thought
they were smart and learned and they could
instruct me in my belief. So came from
Europe and proclaimed my sentiments pub
fcly. Consequently l was despised and
ridiculed, being an unbeliever in Christ and
his personality. l became despised By
Christian people who loved Christ and God.
They thought me crazy, but was not,
only mistaken in my belief l then wrote
a book ON the subject, and have regretted
it sorely ever since, for | now know that
there is a Christ, the Son Of God, the
Father of heaven and earth. | implore my
friends on earth not 10 believe anything l
wrote in that book, for was punished for
eleven years IN he'll for my belief. l then
got TO heaven No. I, then No. 2; there |
am yet, not happy but content. We are
not happy in No. 2, but do not suffer very
much, as God loves bis children and does
not love to punish them any more than We
do ours on earth. He does it because we
deserve it, not because it gives him pleas
ure. It does not. | believe in the Bible
and its hoy teachings. l know that Christ
is the Son of God, and that be does live and
is in heaven now, instTuctiDg Gods people
to love Gods holy name | have never
seen him. He is far above me now, but
hope to some day. l will then tell him of
my mistake in life about my belief in him.
There have been many young people led
astray by my writing that terrible book.
All Young people take waning by what |
tell you, not what L wrote, and believe in
Jesus Christ, the Son of God. love God
and all his people. BE is all goodness aud
truth. He provides for his children as
parents do upon earth, but differently. The
preachers do not, many Of them, on earth
believe in spirtualisn, but The time will
come when they all will believe and ac-
knowledge their belief before the world
publicly. 1 am the unfortunate writer of
the book. THOMAS PAINE"
