TEE ASHANTEE WAR.

England has on her hands q war
with the Ashantecs, a bold and
Warliko people on the West Coast
of Africa. More accurately s. cak-
my they are North Of the gold
coast. The population Of ihc~oua-
;rv is about three millions and the
1atural wealth Of the country is
very great. Gold dust and Ivory
ere he leading articles Of trade
slavery and Polygamy arc lead
ing features, many Of the
mobiles owning as many as 1000
slaves and man IS wealth is meas
urcd largely by the number Of his
wives, the King being allowed
3333. These wives are laborors
and those Of the King are not to
be looked upon 10y any one under
pain If death. In 1924 these same
people defeated the English forces,
and as they have now secured the
Hing of Dahomcy as an ally, onr
English cousins have a rough job
before them. The King Of Daho-
mey has a standing regular army Of
5000 Amazons, who are said to
fight like devils and they have
been sent TO the seat Of waE. Du-
ring peace they are kept in bar
racks inside the palace inclosure
and are guarded by Eunochs,-
Some idea Of the civilization ct the
Kingdom may be learned from the
fact that the six gates Of the capital
are mounted with human skulls.

A PAPER IN RUSSELL.

The Grayson Ensign has been dis
continued, and the Editor, Rev. J. b.
Jones, announces, that about the lst Of
February, he will issue the first nuns
Der of the Russell Progress, at Leban-
on Va. Mr. JONES does not attempt to
disguise the fact, that the Ensign, has
not been financial success, and we
think we find in his statement, that il
has been furnished to subscribers at
81 per year, the reason of this failure.
We have no idea that q country paper
can be sustained at less than s.. Those
newspaper men who assert that sub
subscriptions are nothing, and amount
to nothing toward supporting paper,
have a very important lesson to learn,
If Ehe peopIe are not willing to pay 81
a year to support local paper, it may
be said they dc not want it. We ad-
wise sir. Jones to furnish the PoOgress
at s.. and no less, and we advise the
people of Russell to pay it and sustain
the paper. Mr. Jones will furnish
them a good paper, and they had bet
Ter hold on to him. We believe Rus
sell County has newer had paper,
and we congratulate those people on
the prospect of one.

have no difficulty in proving that
each of these great ameliora tions.
neither of which is yet complete, is
due to Christianity and is a necessary
consequence of its principles. They
are mere practical recognition of that
common brotherhood of man taught
by CHRIST and the sameness and
equality of relation to aim which be-
longs to every human being. The
= wing democracy of our modern
politics, as we'll as the more humane
features of our civi.ZatiOn. are directly
traceable to the movements which
was begun in Ju1ea in the time of
AUGUSTUS CESAR. How could it
have happened mat man vi VI ; &,
plebian Origin, humble outward ap-
pearance, and narrow advantages of
JESUS inaugurated reforms to which
the world has not yet grown up, and
which the most advanced minds of
our time seeks to continue and extend.
but not to repudiate? This great
standing MORAL miracle, written all
over the face of history. ought to be
more convincing than all the physical
miracles ever alleged to have been
performed. 1t does net address itself
to our senses. but to our highest
faculties; and it must always seem
nj re and more extraordinary in pro
portion as the progress or mankind sp-
proaches, but never reaches, much
less surpasses ard renders obsolete.

Bible History.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: To all low
ers Of the Bible, ''Dr. Kitto's
Illustrated History of the the Bible
is ''well>spring of delight. Many
copies of it were sold in this commu-
nifty about year since, and no family
ought to be withou. one. 1t requires
but little skill to deeply interest
children in its perusal. But my aim
now is to call attention to the follow,
ing deeply interesting facts which
may be gathered from its pages and
chronological tables, viz: Moab
might have received the account Of
creation throu.h six equal channels
with equal direcLness, thus: From
Adm through Enos only, or from
Gainan or MaIalaleel, or Jared or
Methusela, or Lamech, his own father.
Llmech was IS years contemporary
with Adatii and 100 years with Shem:
and Shem again was contemporary
for several years with both Abfahatil'
and Isaac. The communication
from Adam to Abraham and Isaac is.
only thro' Lqmech and SHEER. All
the generations from Adari to the
food, we're eleven Uf all these.
Adam was contemporary with nine,
Methuselah eleven; Enos ten, Cainan
ten, Nahaialeel ten. Jared ten, Iinoch
nine, I.amech eleven, Noah eight,
Sheih and brothers fur. Thus there
were never less than nine generations
from adam to the food, which would
give, in any liucal descent ,eigaty-ou one
different channels hIoueh which the
account might DE transmitted.
Whoever imagined. without making
.he comparison, that Sheai lived to
witness all the glorious things trans>
acted between God and Abraham!
Who would have supposed that Abra-
ham and Isaac lived with those, who.
for 100 years Of their early life WITT
messed and assisted in the building Of
the ark, and heard tie CT les of
perishing world Yet such was the
fact. ShemwaS conte.np)r,ry with
every generation down to Jacob.
Thus the participators in the awful
scenes of the food, lived to see the
Pharaohs. the pyramids and obelisks
Of Egypt, and probably to have those
scenes stcreotyped on monuments
which have come down to lis. This
