CHARACTERIsTICs OF THE TIME.-
The Oneida Circular thus describes four
characteristics of the time:
Atheism in Lterature--All scientific
works are full of it. Most of the novels
are full of it. Most of the magazines are
full Of it. Most Of the newspapers are full
Of it. 1t is generally disguised, showing
itself in hints and sneers. Thus the mass
Of popular reading is not only poisonous,
but dishonest /; and its artistic attractions
make it all the more poisonous and dis
honest. Art is the bait; atheism the
hook.
@, Journalism devoted to reporting and
gloating over evil-Murders, fires, ship
wrecks, collisions, brutal assaults, robber-
les, criminal trials, hangings, etc., are the
staples Of newspaper reading.
3. Rapid growth and ripening of wicked
ness-The rings. of the great sharpers,
the corruptions Of judges and legislatures,
the daily murders in high life and in low,
supply plenty of facts for the sensational
press. 1t is noticeable that murder has
reached its highest power in the late epi.
demic of parricldes. The crisis recall,
what was said of the "filling up of the
measure" Of iniquity before the destruc-
ton Of Jerusalem. (See Matt. %: 32,
and ] Thes. 3:l6; also Rev. Ia: 14-20 ;
all OF which passages are probably deriya-
tives of Joel 3: l2-l4.) a

the harvest of wickedness is manifestly
ripening. 50 the Day Of Judgment is com.

THE educational convention is having q
very interesting session at Alexandria,
Our capable city superintendent, Mr.. Bin.
ford, ably represents the Richmond schools.
We trust the Association will find some
means to arouse the people of the state to
the great work Of educating its children.
We are inclined to be very hopeful Of hui
man progress at all times, but the condi-
tion of the schools in this state ought to
arouse and alarm every good citizen.
Three hundred thousand children are
growing up here with no adequate proyis-
on for an ordinary education. And the
saddest fact is that where good schools
exist. as in this city, children by thousands,
both white and colored, are growing up as
very heathen as the Hottentots Of Africa.
We hope the convention will not adjourn
till some decisive policy is agreed upon to
meet this great fact of growing illiteracy.

TO KEEP BUTTER HARD AND
CooL.--A writer in the Scientific Ameri-
can recommends to the ladies very simple
arrangement for keeping butter nice and
cool in the hottest weather. Procure a
large. new flower pot of sufficient size to
cover the butter plate, and also saucer
large enough for the flower pot to rest in
upside down, place trivet or meat stand
(such as is sent to the oven when q
joint is baked in the saucer, and put on
this the plate of butter; now fill the saucer
with water, and turn the flower pot over
the butter so that the edge will be below
the water. The hole in the flower pot
must be fitted with cork the butter will
then be in what we may then call an air.
tight chamber. Let the whole OF the out
side of the flower pot be then thoroughly
drenched with water and place it in
as cool a place as you can. IL this
be done over night, the butter
will be as firm as a rock at breakfa fast
time, or if placed there in the morning. the
butter will be quite hard for use at tea
time. The reason of this is when the
water eyaporates it produces cold; the
porous pot draws up the water, which in
warm weather quickly evaporates from the
sides and thus cools it and as no warm
air can now get at the butter, ii becomes
firm and cool in the hottest day.

Gre,ling State Sa,trnal.

THE friends of the usury law are
quoting with an air of triumph the exam
pie Of Connecticut. She repealed her law
againstlusury, but after nine months ex-
perience has restored it. The cause seems
to have been the high price Of money which
almost Immediately followed the repeal.
Butitis an unfortunate fact for the advocates
Of usury legislation that the stringency was
general. Money was worth in New York
city so per cent during that period. We
called attention to this state of things
at the time, and endeavored to point out
the true cause Of this damaging tightness
in The money market. It has occurred
before, and will again, while the present
false system of finance continues. The
currency, which is to the business world
what the implements Of industry are to the
larborer, is controlled by rings. These
rings tighten or loosen, expand or contract
to suit their convenience. Honest industry
and legitimate trade are at their mercy.
The remedy is in the assumption of con-
troll by the people of the manufacture of
money. The people who use money to
subdue the earth and improve the condi-
tion of its inhabitants by creative labor are
alone the safe custodians Of the power to
manufacture money. Its circulation can
be placed under their control by legislation
of the simplest character. 1t is only neces.
sary to understand the true nature Of money
to see where the great trouble now lies. |
Money is tool or Instrument. A few
favored parties are now manufacture it.
Suppose, as used to be done by Euro
pean monarchs, the government should |
farm out the privilege of making plows |
among those who could best pay for it,
limiting in the same franchise the total
amount of plows that could be manufac-
tured, is it not quite clear that plows |
would be scarce and high at times, and
that farmers would be quite at the mercy
Of the manufacturers
That is precisely the trouble with the
money market. We want free banking.
We want the government which now comes
into the market as the great borrower
to pay lower rate Of interest and issue
money just such as we have now in the
legal tenders, convertible into bonds bear
ing low rate Of interest, at the option of
The holder. We want this money thus
receivable for ALL DUES.
This is the first step; and this taken. the
mex. will soon be clear. We have mo faith
n usury legislation. 1t only drstracts the
attention Of the people from the true source
If help which is to relieve the currency
rom the ring of financial Pirates who have
captured it. ~ y s
