light-oats weighing only Ii. to 20 lbs to the

A Deadly Duel in High Life.

The death is announced, from wounds
received in duel with Count Kolowrat,
at Prague, of Prince William Vincent
Alexander Won Auersperg, youth of
twenty-five, and the eir-presumptive of
his uncle, Prince Charles William Won
Auersperg, Duke of Gottschee, Heredi-
tary Grand Chamberlain of Austria and
Grand Marshal of Bohemia, the head of
one of the stateliest houses of the stately
Austrian aristocracy. Prince Charles
William, born in 1914, is married to a
lady of tho great Hungarian family of
Festetics, but has no children. BY the
sudden death of his young nephew the
succession of the titles and estates of
Auersperg passes to his brother, Prince
Adolphus Won Auersperg, born in 1921,
who, since November %, 1871, has been
President of the Cis.Leithan Council of
Ministers in the Austro- Hungarian EN-
pire. Prince Adolphus is married to
younger sister of the Princess Charles
William, and by her has two sons and
three daughters. Count Kolowrat mas
been arrested but it is hardly likely
that he will be severely proceeded
against, if the duel was fought within
the limits of the code, for, in Austria,
as in Germany, drelling is still recog-
nized military necessity" in social life.

Shot his Father for A Panther.

Last evning a young man named Mar
Gee, living on Sandy fork, four miles
from HARDWOOD, shot his father, killing
him instantly. Itseems that Mr.. Marcee
went to the woods to look at some horses,
and his son Bud took his gun and dog
and went in the same direction hunting.
On seeing something move through the
thick brush, and supposing it to be a
panther, he fired and fed, but was re-
called by his fathers voice. Returning
to the spot, he found to his horror he
had shot his father, who said, MY son,
you have killed mel'' and Immediately
expired. Galveston (7eg.) Ne1cs.

steaiings About Congress.

The late republican employees OF the House
Of Representatives. who are now moaning
over the loss of their profitable places and
perquisities, appear to have improved the last
chance and to have followed the example OF
greater men. Il il ascertained that the COM
mittee rooms and some of the Offices have
been literally stripped Of everything that
could De conveniently carried off, and that
thousands Of documents belonging to mem
ber-, or forming part Of ths stationary col
lection, have disappeared
For year7 past valuable public property about
the Capitol has been stolen and replaced at

The 7FIilenniuHi.

| In our cable letter from london was in
cluded on abstract Of the sermon delivered
( BY the Rev. Dr.. Cumming, at the Scotch
National church, on New Years Day, in
which that eminent clergymen repeated his
views, someH y hat revised, Of the millennium.
He warned his hearers to make ready for its
advent. The second coming Of Christ on
earth, according TO this prophet, mUst happen
before September, 1876. 1Ir. Moody was
quoted a. one Of the Authorities for this be-
lief The Jews are to return 70 Judea this
year. The Turks are to disappear az a nation.
Altogether, according TO DR.. Cumming,
there are TO be great doings in the world dur
ing the memorable year which Il Just begun.
More faith would be naturally placed in
DR.. Cumming predictions If they had not
been already weighed in the Jalance and
found wanting Il has been bis business Tor
the last quarter Of a century TO PERIODICALLY
announce the millennium, aud his fate to
have hrs prophecies proved fAilacies- The
millennium sfubJornIy refuses to come,
though called upon. like the spirits in the
TASTY deep that Hotspur spoke Of. This is
An nncient folly. During the prosecutions Of
the early Christians and before the fouudai
ton of the church in Rome the millennium
was expected Il was constantly impending
during The Dark Ages. Scores Of pious cal.
culators, who's brains were muddlcd by long
tudyiuy Of the signs in the Apocalypse and
the mystical numbers on the forehead Of the
bea-t, have predicted the acts Of Heaven with
more ease and certainty than If they had
been making the tables for Eezt years al

ceit and the credul'y Of the ignorant null
ti,ude
Yezrs Ego these prsIIeiI IL worked great
harm. The Mi.Ier.fe excitement in America
and London sent hundreds Of pious and weak
minded individuals 20 the lanatie aeylums
and caused imneasurable distress iG families.
Now they do less harm, FOR the standing Of
DR.. Cumming and his rivals in biblical inter-
preta'ion has been injured by their utter fall

Too MUCH LhND,-Many farmers fail to
make money because they cultivate too
much land, more land than they have the
hands and the capital to work to advantage.
IF person eats more food than he is able to
digest, he, by 50 doing, decreases, rather than
increases adds TO his strength. In a similar
manner, be who attemps TO cultivate more
land than be is able to tend properly, dimin-
Ishes rather than increases his real wealth
It is far better for the owner of two hundred
acres OF poor land which he has not sufficient
CAPITAL to make rich by supplying it with an
smple quantity Of suitable manure, to sell
one-half Of II, and to apply the proceeds Of
The sale OF that half, than it is TO cultivate
