A great point with Mahomet was the
giving of aims, in which he included the
goods and money collected by himself
for the support of his numerous wives,
and the carrying on of his wars. He
required, of his followers, an average OF
about two-and-a-half per cent, of all
that they received in the way of increase
or income, whether cattle, grain, fruits,
or money. This is vital point in the
policy Of such men, for they know very
well that no institution among men can
have much power or efficiency unless
its votaries and servants can derive
their substance from il and thus de-
vote their whole time and strength to
its propagation. From whatever motive
these false prophets begin their career,
the controlling motive at last becomes of
necessity selfish. What they all finally
aim at is: To enjoy the cream of the
earth, the best of every thing, at the ex-
pense of the laborious multitude. Go
round the world to day with your eyes
open, and see if it is not so-from Salt
Lake to Mecca. But these men, in the
development of our kind,
often do more good than harm, and save
their followers from delusions still more
degrading than those which they ac-
eept. Mahomet seems to have left the
world better than he found it, but he
made it immensely difficult for his
followers to take another forward step

Turkey i'm America.

The largest single contract ever taken
in this country from foreign nation is
the S17,000,O00 one given to the Provi-
dence Tool Company by the Turkish
Government. The Tool Company were
three years in preparing to begin the
work upon the contract, and now en-
ploy 2,5C0 men, who turn out 20O, 900
guns year, or 600 finished guns in a
day. These guns are the Martini-Henry
rifles. One of the side businesses of
magnitude which has grown principally
out of this contract is that of the Ex-
celsior Box Company of Providence,
of which James A. l.. Amoreux of this
city and South Hadley Falls is Treas
urer. The Excelsior Box Company are
now busy making 20, 200 boxes per year
for the Tool Company in which to ship
their guns TO Turkey. Each box is
made to hold twenty of the guns, and
with such accuracy are the groove
pieces for the interior of the boxes
made that they do not allow play of
even one two-hundredth part of an inch
of the arms, when packed with the
muzzle tip and shoulder piece resting in
the grooves. No other precaution is
needed or used in packing the guns for
shipment to Turkey. The machinery
for the manufacture Of these boxes was
perfected in invention for the purpose
The Company have still two years in
which to complete the number of these
boxes that they contracted to make; by
which time, also, the Tool Company
will have completed their immense con
tract with the Turkish Government

A RELIC OF THE LATE WAR
FoUND-THE LAST SHOT FIRED
Brown n. Yeager, who was surveying
on Greenbrier river, in Pocahontas
county, West Va, short time ago,
ran his lines near where picket fight
occurred in the Fall of 1861, near Camp
Barton, where he found an army musk
ct, with bayonet attached, sticking in
the ground. The musket had been
probably left there during the fight SIX
teen years age, and when found was in
excellent order considering the length of
time that has elapsed and the exposure
to which it had been subjected. The
stock is bleached, but the lock and.bar-
rel bright and in shooting order, as was
attested by MIR. Jas. Kerr, who fired off
the load still remaining-a ball and
three buck shot. The supposition is
that the gun was carried by Phil. Wolfe,
young man of that neighborhood, who
was last seen at that point and has not
been heard Of since. In examining
around where the gun was discovered
since then, a bone-supposed to be that
a human body-was found, which it is
thought was that of a soldier who, be-
ing wounded, erected, before death this
monument to himself.-S. Spectator.

LABORS OF REV. DR.. RoSSER, THE
EvANGELIsT.-In the Virginia An
nual Conference Of the M. E. Church
South, in Lynchburg en- Thursday last,
DR.. Rosser addressed the Conference,
setting forth his labors as an evangelist.
He had preached and exhorted over six
hundred times, with about six hundred
conversions. But all personal identifi-
cation with the work, even as an ms
trument, was obliterated with him as a
bubble has lost all consciousness of
such fact. Every church. except one,
where he had preached had been quick
ened, rebaptized and resealed by the
Holy Ghost. The last revival he at
tended. and which he closed on last
Sabbath night week, at Columbus,
Miss, he regarded as the grandest of his
life in moral glory. Seventy-five per-
sons, most distinguished in intelligence
aud social life,we happily converted to
God. He alluded to the conversion of
Colonel Samuel Meek, the most distin-
guished criminal lawyer in the State.
He came to the alter and knelt and
wept most bitterly, and evinced the
deepest interest. Presently he arose
and said {: II feel a sudden and strange
calm" Holy women, like some l
could name here in Lynchburg, gather
ed around him at the close of the servi-
ces, and said (: Colonel, do you feel
that your sins are forgiven?" He ans
wered, "a sudden calm has come over
me, but would not for the world say
that my sins are forgiven" DR.. Rosser
said to him: Colonel, would you for
the world, say that your sins were not
forgiven ?" He replied he would not ;
and the next morning was rejoicing in
a bright and happy experience. Among
the converts was the daughter of the
sainted Hezekish G. Leigh. DR.. Rosser
lays down his commission as an evange-
list, as he understands that the College
Of Bishops are looking to the creation
of that Office at the next General Con-
ference, which meets at Atlanta, Geor-
gia, next May.
He places himself in the hands of the
bishops for work in the Virginia Con-
ference, asking fair play and no privi-
leges and that such disposition be
made of him from the shades of the
blue hills of his native State to the roar
ing waters Of the Chesapeake and At
lantic as shall most rebound to the
glory of God.-Rock. Register.
LIME FOR FLY IN WHEAT. Upon
good authority the use oflime is recon-
mended to our farmers as certain de-
struction to the fly found in wheat
We have heard some complaint already
this season of the rayages of this insect,
and should the weather continue mild
and open it is to be feared that our
great staple may suffer seriously. Sow
of air-slaked, or water-slaked lime, one
to two bushels per acre broadcast over
the wheat in the early morning on the
dew, or over night on q clear evening
when there is reason to expect dew or
frost. AS ii dissolyes 1t will from leg
which will follow the leaf towards the
root, and destroy the egg or chrysal!s
of the fly near that point. This is an
application so simple and cheap as to
discredit it with the many who are often
looking to be told some great thing
We can only say that if it should prove
Intellectual as remedy, that i'll no case
can it do any harm.-Page Courier.
