RELIGIOUS WORLD.

1t is stated that prominent Presby'
terrain church recently had eighty ap,
plications for its vacant pulpit.
In New Jersey a church paying on
ly s400 salary, and without a pastor,
received As applications in three weeks
for the vacant situation.
News from the State Sunday-school
convention shows that the days for such
gatherings has by no means passed.
On all sides there are large attendan-
ces and all the old spirit is exercised
upon far superior topics.
In the last year the Chinese church
in San Francisco has received thirteen
additions, and fourteen Cinnamon have
united with the First Presbyterian
church at Oakland, under the pasto-
raj charge of Rev. DIR. Eells.
Courier Journal: The Atlanta
Christian Index Baptist is after the
scalp of Rev. DR.. Burrows, of the
Broadway Baptist church, in this city,
because of the statement of its cOrres>
pondents that the good old doctor re-
Gently communed in Richmond, Va,
with the "Campbellites."
The Northwestern Christian Advo>
cate, Chicago, says: 1.-The Christian
Apologize runs up, in political style,
the names of Hayes and Wheeler at
the head of its columns of current
events. 1t does not look bad in
German type" The Christian Apol>
ogist is the Northern Methodist Gen.
raj Conference organ for the Germans.
And yet Northern Methodism is not
a partisan political organization-O,

OF what avail will it be to elect
Hayes instead of Grant? 1t will con-
tinue the same old shop, in which the
same business will be carried ON in
the same way, by the same gang of
hands; only there will be another name
painted over the door; that is all.
Would Grants eighty thousand Office
holders be as active in their efforts to
elect Mr. Hayes if they did not expect
to retain their offices under him ?
What do they care whose name is
over the shop door, whether it be
Grant or Hayes, so long as they retain
the same situations, with the same
emoluments? The change would be
mostly a matter of paint and putty
Grant erased and the new letters
which spell Hayes substituted.
The change with Tilden would be
radical and entire. New men as well
new measures will rule the day.
There will be change, pretty nearly
clean sweep, and We leave it to the
sober sense Of the country if it would
not be difficnlt to make change that
would not be for the better. There
would be something more than a
change in the name over the door.
The workmen within would be chang
ed, and the peoples work would be
honestly and faithfully done.-N T.

Food for Thought

The wheat crop of the United States
is estimated TO average from II to Is
bushels per acre, while the possible
yield has been shown to be over 40
bushels.
The yield of hay for the whole
country is not much over one ton per
acre, on general average, against a
possible yield of FIVE tons and over as
shown by various successful farmers.
The average product of potatoes is
not far from 10 bushels per acre, with
occasional yields that prove possibil-
ity of eight or nine hundred bushels.
There are some root crops that pro-
duce on an average less than 200
bushels per acre, which, according to
authentic records have occasionally
Welded over sixteen hundred bushels.
In the case of Indian corn, the
great staple of the country, the aver
age product is not more than 30 bush
els per acre, though crops of 80 bu-
shells and over have been well attested,
and product of 200 bushels has been
reported and authenticated by DIR.

A negro militia company in Edges

when it retreated to brick house;

Sending Prayers Ina u Cart.

The celebrated London preacher,
Sturgeon, tells the following story:
A poor man who had very large
family gave them a comfortable sup
port while he was in health. He
broke his leg, and was laid up for
some weeks. As he would be for some
time destitute of the means OF grace
it was proposed to hold prayer-meet-
ing at his house. The meeting was
held by Deacon Brown. A loud knock
at the door interrupted the service. A
tall, lank, blue frocked youngster
stood at the door with an OK goad in
his hand, and asked to see Deacon
Brown. Father could not attend this
meeting" he said, "but he sent his
prayers, and they are out in the cart. "
They were brought in the shape of
potatoes, beef, pork and corn. The
meeting broke up without the bene>
diction. Nor did the poor fellow suf-
fer during his whole confinement.
The substantial prayers of the donors
became means of grace.

Wheat is not as plentiful as in 1875,
and oats are short.

was brief letter from Gen. Lafayette

A falling off of one-third Of the
wheat crop in Weakley county has
been caused by adverse circumstances.
The yield of corn will be as large as
usual, and of oats, fifty percent more.
Owing to the rust, the wheat crop
in Madison county will not beas large
as that cultivated last season. The
quality of corn and cotton is good,
and the quantity very encouraging.

the rails serving as a pillow. The

to view the mangled remains. But
instead of a CHASTITY corpse there was
that colored American standing erect,

complaining a little of his head.
