ware OF tho great movement going on In
the mind of the age; and truly, if Christ
ianity consisted only in such disputes,
science and learning would ignore it
with contempt. But why do sciance and
learning recognize Christianity, either to
there Is in it power different from and
independent of oil such .dogmatic dis
putes: and 1t is TINT essential power, the
manifestation and witness of personal
God, Divine love, personal historical
Christ, holy life, which arouses the
great battle now going on in the intel
fectual world. Obsolete or weak things
do not excite such strife, and whatever
may be the progress of destructive criti-
cism, Christianity can be supplunted by
nothing so long as there are intellects to
reverence and hearts to love personal
Christ This Christ (and the more Won
derfully will He.emerge from the very
fact that we have only fragmentary me
morabiiia of His life and sayings) has
made and will make such an impress
upon the mind and heart Of civilized hu-
nanity, as cannot be effaced by ecclesi-
astica1 dogmds; and will only come out
more powerfully, and receive more
ado Hing homngs in proportion as eccle-
siastical speculations and disputes fade
into the insignificancy into which they
hare ever sunk with the progress of
thought and science. See the tributes
which even the serious and earnest
minded and honest rejectors Of the &C.
ciesiastical Christianity have paid almost
inyolnntarily, oonstrainedly to the, Per-
sonaf Christ. They have admitted that
however destructive! scientific criticism
maybe, it, cannot take awhy from the
faithful heart the Personal Christ as the
incarnation of the love Of n. Personal
God, To that let US seek to lead the fair
and' honest thoughts OF men-of men
whose moral sense it not corruptedly
prejudiced against morality-of men
WHO do not Ireject spirituality because
they wilfully choose to be immoral-of
men of any earnestness and fairness
and we will find that with such men
Christianity is q helping, blessing boon.
But when we present Christ-the Incar-
nate Love of God-to human souls,
then We may, as preachers and setters-
forth Of tho Messiahship ns conceived by
himself, defy all shallow scepticisn, and
be sure that we have profound inde-
structible basis in human wants and
longings and aspirations and soul
depths, to which to appcal-by which
Christ's Christianity will live and propa-
gate itself N love and consolation and
conversion of hearts to the end of time.

At Paterson, N. j., last Thursday, died
Darius Wells, aged seventy-fve. To his
apparently simple invention Of wooden
types. the arts of printing, engraving and
stereotyping are immensely indebted.
For 800 years. printers had depended on
metal types, and were restricted by the
weight and cost of the material to small
letters. The introduction of wood rem
dJed the use Of large type both easy and
cEeap, 80 that every printing Office in the
world is now provided with them. The
large posters and hand-bills that now
hame our walls in many colors were inn
possible before the invention of Mr.
Wells.

Freeman, the distinguished historian,
has been lecturing in London on ''Thc
Use of the English Language" in course
of which he pointed out some examples
of foreign words which had supplanted
good English words and of words which
had slipped into daily Use in sense
very different from their renl meaning
Nearly all writer's. and frequently those
who write hurriedly for dnily papers,
and whose knowledge of the English
language is gained or freshened by the
reading of papers, occasionally use the
unnecessary or incoherent words men,
toned by Mr.. Freeman. Some of these
are worth remembering. One that is in
common use is 'ovation," which wit
ness in the Tichborne trial described rs
yelling and hooting." 1t was a term
applied to Roman celebration, ut which
n victorious general walked to the place
where sheep (oyis) was sacrificed in his
honor, and was inferior to a triumph"
at which the victorious general rode in a
chariot to the place where bull was
sacrificed. "Transpire" once meant to
come out gradually, but now nm event
"transpires" whenever anything hap
pens. Men "allude to" each other by
name, when they actually 'speak" OF
find out" anything or "nsk" anything,
they are told to ''ascertain" or to ''in-
quire." Tradesmen do not "scnd in
their bills" but ''render their accounts, "
and singers do not 'sing psalms" but
the psalms nre beautifully rendered. u
Things do not begin nowadays, but are
''inaugurated," and statues are also ''in-
augnrated." not uncovered" or "un-
yelled. In concluding his interesting
lecture, Mr. Freeman said that the great
use of lectures was to set people to think
ing themselves, and if each one would
think what he could do for the Eng
lish language, q reform would soon be
wrought.

The New York Herald, in it's sarmises
of the cotton crop Of this year in the
Southern States, says 1t is generally fa-
vorable, notwithstanding the exception
ally inclement season. Louisiana re-
ports on increase in acreage Of four per
cent, Mississippi Of three per cent, and
Arkansas the same. Texas shows still
more satisfactory returns, and Alabama
is also encouraging. Poor. down-trod-
den South Carolina tsithe lowest on the
list. The wonderful resources of the
South can bring that section back to its
normal state of plenitude and prosperity,
if needless Government interference be
omitted.

The New York Times calls attention to
the fact that large portion of the fertile
island of New Guinea, lying under the
equator, and about ninety miles North
Of Australia, is unclaimed by any nation,
the Dutch occupying small part only
Of the territory. The English recently
explored the island, and Captain Lawson
has made glowing report of it's marvel
Gus resources. The Times thinks it
would be good idea, since the English
have shown some hesitancy about plant
ing their flag on the soil, for the United
States to rush in and possess the land.
1t might be very good thing, but tn IN,
az we are experimenting in TINT line Mt
the Samoan islands at the present time
it wonld be better to wait and sec how
Col. Steinberger comes ont of his mis-
sion. Besides, Cnpt. Lawson. the Eng
lish explorer Of New Guinea, had fierce
fight with the untutorcd savages of that
island, which suggests forcibly that, if
we take possession of it, we will have to
fight and feed the aborigines, and un-
doubtedly have to submit to the dis
graceful plumber Of new Indian ring
Let the English have New Guinea if they
want it.

THn NEW HasnsH1EE ISo1s1Ar1vr

The NEW HAafrSHItE LEGISLATIVE
SouAHDLk. The trouble in the New
Hampshire Legislature, which reached q
crisis Wednesday, when the members of
the Republican Senate seeded from that
body. was continued by the House on
Thursday. The question arose on pro
positions to refer the disputed Senate
rial matter to the Supreme Court of the
State. The facts of the case are these:
The Constitution and laws of the State
provide that a majority Of all votes cast
shall be necessary for the election of
Senator; that to be eligible to the Senate
man must reside in the District for
which he is chosen and must have been
an inhabitant of the State for seven years
| Immediately preceding his election; and
that the full Christian and surname of
| every person voted for must be printed
or written upon every ballot, and all not
thus prepared shall not be counted Two
of the Democratic candidates, Priest and
Proctor, had each in his District plu-
rality only. The claim of the Rcpubli-
| cans is that there was no election in
| either case. The Governor and council,
however, decided that there was no such
| man MS "Natt" Head, one Of the candi-
dates, he having been christened "Na-
thaniel, and so threw out all the votes
| cast for him. In the other District they
decided that the prohibition candidate
was not eligible, he not having resided
| in the State sufficient length of time,
and so they threw out all tho votes cast
for him. The Governor and council.
therefore, declared Messrs. Priest and
Proctor elected. The issues presented
| in the House were on tho method Of set
Ting the difficulty. The Republican
proposition for settlement was to refer
the question of the right Of the Governor
and council to declare Priest and Proc
tor elected to the three Judges of the
Supreme Court, two of whom are Demo-
crats. The Democrats offered to refer
| the question, not Of the right of the can
vassers to declare these men elected, but
of the legality of their election, to the
Court The distinction between these
two propositions lies in tho fact that a
decision upon the legality of the action
Of the Governor and council if adverse
will vitiate the proceedings already had,
by which the Democrats have secured
the organization, while decision by tho
Court upon the legality of the election
Of Messrs. Priest and Proctor would, if
adverse, only have the effect to unseat
them, leaving the organization as effected
by their votes. As the Republicans have
q majority in the House, they, can of
course have their own way aboutit.

A DEAD DELusIoN theory that
human beings whose strength has been
exhausted by pain nnd sickness can be
restored by depicting medicines and
water grnel, if not absolutely dead de-
lusion, is in the last agonies of dissolu-
ton. At length it is understood that
strength cannot be purged into debili-
tated frame, though life may easily be
purged out of it, and that it is about as
wise to withhold n healthful stimulant
from the weak, in the expectation that
they will rally without one, as it would
be to deprive II lamp of oil and expect it
to burn the brighter for IL. The immense
and uniform success which has attended
the use of that wonderful combination
of pure stimnlant with the finest me-
dlclnal herbs, known as Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters, has largely assisted in dis
pelling the absurd chimem. Frantic at-
tempts are made to revive it, but in vain.
When the sick feel that their strength is
departing, and that unless inyigorated
they must utterly break down, it is in
vain to tender them feculent slops in the
place of genuine restoratives. They
may be imposed upon in this way once,
but the imposition cannot be repeated.
They desire to be refreshed, comforted,
braced up, and decline to be griped
second time. Under the operation of
the Bitters, on the other hand, all the
processes necessary to physical restora-
tion go on simultaneously. The system
is stimulated and toned, the bowels re-
gulated, the appetite cultivated, the
nerves composed and the condition of
the blood improved at one and the same
time by single medicine. Common
sense tells us that such a preparation
must be invaluable. June 4 1881

II is truly wonderful, the variety and
ingenuity of the conveniences for tho
desk and offlce-pens of varied patterns,
inkstands possessing unmberless ad-
vantages letter files, each ono the best,
envelopes of size and qualities infinite.
1t is almost bewildering to enter the
large Broad street store of Walker,
Evans l. Cogswell, in Charleston, and
see the number of these attractions.

and, second, the difficulty in deciding
among the many things offered, each
equally suitable to your wants. MT

Statistics have been collected in

is shown that the Jewish race has mean
average duration of life exceeding that of
Christians by about five years, and that

ascribed are the inheritance of q sound

FoEcIBLE BunIAL.-Thc New Orleans
Bulletin, of Saturday, tells horrible tale
Of the .forcible burial of living man in
that city. on the 2Gth ult He was n
negro named George Banks, and his dis
ease was smallpox. According to the
statements of six or eight persons, pub
lished by the Bulletin. the man pushed
the lid off the coffin while it was on the
cart on the way to the cemetery; the
driver of the cart placed it on again, sat
on one end, and put coffin containing
baby on the other end to keep down
the lid. At least half dozen people as-
serted that they saw this, thnt they dis
tinctly saw the movements of the man
in the coffin in his efforts to rise, and
one or two said they heard his groans
and breathing Several declared that
the driver ordered them OFF when they
approached and told him he had living
man in the coffin. The thing is almost
incredible, but these are the circumstan-
tial statements. The driver was arrested
and locked up. He denied everything
except that he WAS the driver who car
ried the corpse to the cemetery.

just AS quick to forgive; whose feet can
run as fast as her tongue and not put

who can speak her mind and important

is the true girl who will make good

EXECUTION OF y CoLoRED MAS.-ilfre,i
Orange, colorcd, was hung in Atlanta
Ga, on the 4th, for the murder of Joe
Mnyiicld, ut West End At 80 o'clock
the prisoner was led from his cell to the
place Of execution. He walked with
tirmness and deliberation, and exhibited
not the least nervousness. After singing
"Why should we start and fear to die?"
prayers were offered by the Rev. W.
French, Rev. Frank Quarles and Willy
Grant. Duriug this time Orange was
self composed and unmoved, and kept
chewing his tobacco until tho fatal cap
was about to be placed on him. when he
leisurely threw the tobacco away When
asked if he had anything to say, he re-
piled: Nothing, except goodbye, I am
about to be off; goodbye" The cap was
adjusted, the trigger sprung and the
condemned man launched into eternity
