The End of the World.

A meeting Of Second Adventists was
held on Sunday in Cooper Union to
discuss the prophecy Of a coming
Christ in 1876. About seventy>fve
persons, most Of whom we're gray, hair
ed and thoughtful looking men, gath
cred in a little room. The meeting
was opened by singing the hymn
o, shout for joy, let songs arise,
The Lamb that once was slain
Will come in glory from the skies
Upon the earth to reign.
We will stand the storm,
1t will not he very long,
We will anchor by and by.
Mr.. Jerre. who had writttn on 3
black -board some figures to show that
the end of the world, or "the time of
the end,' will come this year, spoke
about the fulfllment of the prophecy
in the twelfth chapter Of Daniel He
illustrated his Interpretation Of the
prophecy by historical references.
"It SAYS in the day the wicked shall
do wickedly,' he said, Now did you
ever see such time of corruption and
rottenness as this. have never
known, and cannot fini any one who
has ever known such q time Of cor
ruption in Church and State every
where. Look at this Belknap case.
But that is only one Suppose you
should go to Washington and unearth
all the elements of corruption there,
what would become Of it?
He next argued that the prophecies
foretold the end of 1886 years from a
given time, that is from 'tho
time when the daily sacrifices shall be
taken away and the abominaton that
maketb desolate be set up This abOm
ination he said, was the Church Of Rome,
and its setting occurred in 54l, when the
Emperor Justinian placed it on the PIN
nacle Of its power, and in order to do so
oyerthrew the Goths. Then followed The
period of 300 years spoken OF in th'
prophecy bringing the time up to 1881
when the allied powers Of Europe to pre-
prevent continental war,took away iron
the Pope just as much power as JuS'inlaI
had given him. To this 200 years tb'
prophecy added month aud a ha II
meaning forty.ive years, thus fixing th'
time of the end in 1876. In this view
Mr.. Jerrie said, scieuee aud revelation
agreed. He did not attempt to hx th'
Sav of the month Of the end. which is t
come like thief ia the night
Two or three other persons spoke, an'
one old man criticises the churches 10

At eve when homeward we repair,
With aching limb and brow of care.
Toe voices sing out clear and sweet, -
Then comes the rash OF little feet,
The knives are lost, the dishes stray,
The tools are spirited away,
And when we go the lost to seek,
We take the trail Of little feet.
But when the angel Death hath come,
And calls these tlowre:s from our home,
Oppressive silence rcigns complete
We miss the sound oi little feet.
The tools are safe, no dishes stray.
No doors go slanming all the day
But, oh 'twould give Us leasnre sweet

Soft night has come. all are asleep;
Yes, all but me, | vigil keep;
Hush. hush, my heart, and cease 20 beat

Yes, mother, 'swas The softened tread
OF him you miss and mourn as dead,
And often in your sweetest sleep
You'll dream ofhearing little feet.

And you approach that blissfnl shore,
The first to run your soul to greet,
Will be your darln's little feet.

Newspapers at the Centennial.

The Special Correspondent OF
the London Times says it would be
difficult to find an apter illustra
ton of the big way in which the
Americans do things than that
furnished by the Centennial
Newspaper Building" in the Ex-
hibition grounds. Here you may
see any one, or, if you like, all of
the S,l29 newspapers published
regularly in the United States,
and see them, one and all, for
nothing! You are not only per-
mitted as favor to see them, but
invited, nay, pressed, to confer
the favor Of entering the building
and calling for what paper you
like. 1t is about as cool and agree
able a place-quite apart from its
literary attractions-aS a visitor
to the Exhibition could wish to
be offered chair in. He may at
first wonder how, among 5000 pa
pers, among them such mighty
sheets as the New York Herald, he
is to get at the small, loved print
of his home, thousands of miles
away, it may be, over the Rocky
Mountains. But the management
is so simple that by consulting
the catalogue, or even without
the aid of the catalogue, any one
can at once find whatever paper
he wants, They are pigeon-holed
on shelves in the alphabetical Or
der of their States or Territories
and their towns, the names of
which are clearly labelled on the
shelves. The proprietors of the
Centennial Newspaper Building
are advertising agents, the largest
in all America,-Messrs. G. P.
Rowell d Co., Of New York.
Their enterprise will cost alto
gether about $4,000, or f4,000,
including the building and the
expenses Of running" it for six
months. The 5000 and odd Amer
ican newspapers are declared, by
the same authority, to exceed "the
combined issue Of all the other
nations of the earth"

Sam TiIden,

The following paragraphs re-
garding Tilden are all from the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading
Democratic paper of the West.
Had Governor Tilden been
disposed, he could have had
Tweed Gagged long ago"
He appears as y reformer and
dissolves partnership with Tweed
to assume that role"
THE political jobbers, thieves
and betrayers Of the people are
very generally in favor of Til
den"
at was the platform, not the
ticket, that was rebuked in 1864.
1t was Sam Tilden who was re-
sponsible for the platform"
"Tilden's surroundings are bad.
If elected, he would take to the
White House the worst set of po-
litical jobbers and thieves ever
Seen in Washington"
"Ihere has been a shameless
expenditure of money and an un-
precedented advertisement of a
quack candidate in promoting the
political fortunes of Samuel j.
Tilden,"
"It could not but be that a man
educated in cunning, in hypocri-
sy, in iniquity, nominated in cor
ruption and shameless ehrontery,
even though his million could
elect him, would give us the most
corrupt administration the coun-
try has ever known
"He has sought this high Office
by methods so unprecedentedly
shameless and disreputahle, that
it would be an everlasting stigma
upon a Democratic Convention to
nominate him, and repr oach
upon the American people to
elect him if nominated"
"0n the banks of the Hudson
Mr.. Tilden shouts that gold is the
only fit currency. BY the shores
Of Lake Superior he subjects him
self to imprisonment for three
years in the State prison by issu-
ing a spurious, worthless, bas.
tard currency as it was termed
by the court"
at is not only true that Sam
Tilden is so hostile to the senti-
ment Of the West and Of the
South, that he could not carry a
Western or Northwestern State,
but his nomination would kindle
an opposition Of another sort. His
candidacy has been the most
shameless and indecent in our
history.n

The NeWLOan.

We called attention few days
ago to the difference between tho
credit Of the Government under
Democrotic and Republican ad-
ministrations as shown by the
competition among capitalists for
the new loan at A per cent inter
est. Since then the entire amount
of $500, 100000 has been taken at
par. Bonds to the same amount,
bearing six per cent. interest,
will be called in and paid with
the proceeds of the new loan.
This will be saving in interest Of
$4,500,000 a year,
IL is well worth while for voters
to notice the credit Of the govern
ment under Republican rule, as
shown by this transaction, and
under the last Democratic admin
istration (Buchanan's), when q
loan bearing six per cent. inter.
est could only be placed at seven.
teen per cent discount!
Capitalists now compete for
our bonds, bearing only AZ per
cent. interest at par.

turn 10 the old order or things
will make it known by voting for
