WE HAVE been so ashamed Of the
part Tennessee is compelled to play in
regard 10 the Centennial exposition,
that we have not, since the failure Cf
,ur resident commissioners, felt like
ssyiug anything more in reference to
g.. These gentlemen made SO many
strenuous efforts, and were so generously
sustained by the city press, as well as by
that OF Brownsville, Jackson, Bolivar
and Somerville, and yet failed SO sig
nslIy, that we gave up all hope that
anything could be done TO insure for
cur State an approach to such an ex-
hibit as she. could make In competition
with her sister States OF the Union. But
the effort by our cotton exchange, the
city school board, together with that
made by the teschers' association, aided
by Superintendent TIousdale, besides a
movement on the part Of owners OF mine
raj lands in the eastern part of the
State, leads us TO hope that the State
whose children are to be found in every
Tsrt Of the Union, and who, in common
with those who live within her borders,
have reason to be proud Of her, viii be
able at the Centennial 10 point TO
come evidences OF her existence, at
least Ia the products Of her mines, aud
fhose OF the little ones who are stu

Teaching Courage.

Courage is a vital element Of christian
ehivalry. Without it. indeed, neither
truth nor fl lelity to promise can be
hoped fer. The coward is sure to lie
when truth means punishment, and
sure to retreat from mis- engagements
when they involve peril. We need
valiant souls that have Learned to en-
dure and scorn pain, and to face danger
fesrlessly ard Promptly when duty re-
quires Some parents evRde the vital
part of training by CLOSES ard decep-
tiop. A mother who has taken her boy
to the dentists to get tooth out, will
often say, if he is shrinking, "Sit Etill,
my boy, 1t won't hurt you" Now she
knows II will hurt him, but thinks il
can oily get MIN by this device to sit
still.aud let the dentist get hold Of the
tooth, then his discovery Of the pain
will not hinder its extraction. This is q
Co1ble mistake. 1t destroys her boys
confidence in her, for he detects her in q
lie. Aud though it gets the boy this
TINA to sit still, it is under the delusion.

A C0nYersion Story.


4 daily paper has lately dishsd u9 the
cid hash Of tina sIdien miraculous tsic)
conversion of NJ. Ra;.sbUnue, French
Jew Of BIRTH, to Rlman Catholicism.
N. now Abbe) RatisbOnne, many years
ago, happening to be IN Rome, stIO!led
one day into ne church OF st. Andrea
dele FTotts. He found himself, 30 the
tale goes, opposite the chapel dedicat d
to the guardian aDgl', when al at once
the Blessed Virgin appeared from 1t in
s. vision of light, and bsekOned him 10
come toward that chapel. n reslst!ess
force drew him on; he fell on his Eaees,
and in anOths moment be was 9 chtls-
tian. To sileEc3 the doubt OF any 2cep'
tic, the miraculous event is annually
celebrated on the anniversary dsy in the
identical church glOritied by thiI con-
version. Strange to ssy, that al
though the conversion occurred
within the memory of men still living,
and is stt5sted not only by the annual
cele brstiOn Of the occurrence and the
record left by thOse who had it from the
very lips Of the convert, there are still
those WHO shrug their shoulders and sig
nificantly shake their heads when this
topic is brought up. But these are PROF.
sbly people VINO sneeT a. the resuTTec-
ton and deprive the narrative Of Paup5
conversion of its supernatural hue.
They are those unbelieveIs who rank
this conversion with the miracles repre-
scented by the stigmata Of q Louise La
teaU, the winkiDg msdOnnas, the annu
a. appearance of the holy fire at Easter
in the holy sepu.chTe st jerusalem, aud
the hqusisctiOn Ct the blood OF st. ia
naurius at Nap.es. They are those who
impertinently Inquire what object had
the Blessed Virgin in view by the per-
f0rmauce Of this miracle? Why single
out this one Jew out Of millions for SAL
walton, and ALLOWING all others to go TO
perdition, when it would have been such
an easy matter for her 70 appear in her
blaze Of glory in the midst Of the Roman
Ghetto and effected in a trice the con-
version Of thousands Of Jews, whose ex-
ample would undoubtedly have been fol
lowed by thousands OF them in other
places? Why just single out this nomi.
nal half-Jew, RstisbDnne, long before
estranged from mis- breth1en-in faith,
unknown TO their multitude, and with
out any Influence among these by
whom ne was known, and in whose re-
ligious principles they had ceased lODg
before to have any confidence? Might
the Virgin not have waited few weeks
longer while the pear was ripeniHg,
which in due time wou d have fallen in
TO her lap without the performance of
any miracle?

The case Of Pryor NJ. Coleman came
up yesterday IN the Federal court, on a
writ Of hd6eas corpus Coleman was a
corporal in company @, First regiment Of
Tennessee cavalry, from which he de.
serted in October, 1864, nesr Nashville,
and wgs absent frOm his command at
the time of the murder Of Miss II. a.
Bell, daughter Of Philip 2. Bel, Of this
county, February Z, 1865, for which he
was ar ested short time sfserWsrj.
The brutality Of the crime will be re-
membered by many. Coleman went to
Mr.. Bells house for the purpose of rob
berry, and while defending her aged
father from his cOTaTdjy assaults, Miss
Bell was shot and killed by Coleman,
who was subsequently tried by court
martial and sentenced to be hung the
July following; but before the day of ex-
ecution arrived be escaped from custody,
and subsequently received discharge

The End COmeILl

CnlcdgO 1lIneS.I
News OF the approaching end Of the
world is always interesting reading
Many time and oft have the Advent
lists figured out the date of the end Of ell
things here below; and though the pre-.
dictioDs have invariably failed, their re-
neWal from time to time has always b zen
the cause of interested discussion. The
universal mash-up which Elder Thur
man predicted for last year did not come
off, but the prophecies have been looked
up anew and an error in the computa'
ton corrected. The .Adventists Of New
York have arranged for the second COM
ing Of Christ during 1875. The pTophe-
cy OF Daniel says that the void will end
10 Just thirteen hundred and thirty five
years from the thine when the daily
sacrifices shall be taken away and the
ambominstion that maketh desOlsts be
set up" The abominatiOn that makeih
desolate, OF course, is the Roman Cath
Ollie church, which the Aventists under
stand to have dated from 54l. when the
Emperor Justinisn gave the R ligi0n of
Rome its papsl character, Then follow
ed the period of twelve hundred and
ninety year,, spoken Oiin the prophecy,
bringing the time up to 1881, when the
allied powers Of Europe took awsy from
the bishop OF Rome as much power as
Justinian had given him. To this
twelve hundred and ninety years the
prophecy added ia month and halt"
meaning forty fveyears, thus fixing the
grand finale IN 1876. Nothing could be
palmer. Figures cannot lie. The end
has got to come this year, and it is to be
lamented that the New York Advent
lists are not able to fix tia month and
day. The catastrophe is to come like a
thief in the night. II behooves every
prudent citizen, Therefore, to make tie
preparations, and, in the
language Of Joyce to M'Donald, to put
bis house in order.

A CORRESPONDENT ''Elder''-claims
that Tennessee is a christian State, end
refers to the constitution for proof,
quoting section two of article nine
as follows: mo person who de-
MES the being of God, or a fu-
ture state of rewards or puEish-
nnents, shall hold any office in the civil
department Of this State" Conforming
to this section would not make man q
christian. A Jew or q Mshomedsn
could subscribe to it, and, perhaps, a
Brahmin, Buddhist or Conlucian, too,
without any great stretch Of conscience.
But, had We auy large proportion Of
these latter among US, and any one Of
them should choose TO refuse to sub.
scribe to this clsuse OF our constitution,
and at the same time lay claim to a
"civipi office, he might do 50 with fair
chance fer success before the courts
under the third and fourth sections Of
the bill Of rights, SIS follows:
Eection 3. That all men have natural and
indefsasible right 20 worship Almighty God
according TO the dictates OF their oWn con-
science; that LC man can, OF right, be COM
PEELED 10 attend, erect, or support any Uiace OF
worship, or 10 maintain any minister against
his consent; that 10 human authority can, an
any irhI1eUer, control or tHte7JeTe i0ita me

HIe christians, whose religious senti-
Inen,s, In 80 far IS they insensibly
quicken or color the whole tenor Of their
lives, give 3 christian hue to all the

Bill Of Rights and the State constitu.
tion were men who hsd and have, no
doubt, solemn convictions in common
with all christians, but they also had
convictions that nothing short Of ALSO
lutte liberty for all 10 matters OF con-
Fcieuce would save the State from those
Hggres5ions, FOR conscience sake, which
Eeem 70 be inseparable from recogni-
tlon OF religion, in ssy form, by law.
