move right on and more than gam her
purpose. She will conquer Asa Miner
and the Turkish empire generally, aud
will advance into Palestine, and .'shsil

silver. and over all the precious things

these conquest ''tidings out OF
the East and out OF the North shall

East and the North msy be news of
the disaitections of the Papal power on
account of the superiority which Rus
STA gives to the Greek church, and on
account of holy places in Judea. The
word tidings seems also, he says, TO
indicate great insurrections. He is
pOsitirs that the Russian empire has two
great works to do; the first is to de-
stroy the Roman church in Europe,
and the other, to attack the United
States. He also states in his book
that before the war begins for the
conquest and humiliation of Turkey
the French people would estab-
lish republic and assist the United
States at the time Russia makes
the attack. a ccording to this
writer, the present war in Europe will
become general, and be the most fear
full the world ever witnessed, and Is to
take place before the one hundred and
seventeenth day of the year 1873.

Editorial Notes.

Every obituary editor in the country
is heaping curses on the head of A. Il.
Stephens.
The North Sea Canal has turned out
a greater success than was ever antici-
pated. Nearly the whole of the out
ward traffic from Amsterdam passes
through it.
The good and expressive American
verb "to lynch" has been Frenchifed,
and one of our French exchanges, tell
ing about the lynching of the Bender
family in Kansas, heads its paragraph
with the words Sine Fdmlle Lynehee. !"
In Chicago they compel members
elect of the common council to show
their par ions for criminal offenses be-
fore taking their seats. This secures
a good class of men as members, and
makes it impossible that the body
should ever be called upon to meet In
Jail.
The fury of the late Pensacola cy-
clone lasted but five minutes, but the
Herald says that the destruction of
buildings was so complete that it is
difficult for any man to say to-day that
the lumber resting upon the ground
where his house stood belongs to him.
A bed of yellowish colored paint,
covering an area of at least two acres,
and having thickness of four feet,
has been discovered near Cullman,
Alabama. The paint is found to be
superior to ochre, as it can be worked
without adding white lead, and cannot
be surpassed for water colors.
Mrs. Gaines having gained her case
in New Orleans, millions of dollars

the Supreme Court has already decided
the case twice in her favor.
James Redpath has written letter

seem to have succeeded, as Hampton
has sent word that his engagements
wall not permit him to accept the invi-
tation at present, though he hopes to
have the pleasure at some future time.
Now, 1880 is long while to be look

politician, you know, is addicted to
that. The party is just now so pecu-
liarly situated that IN order to reform
its forces it must have some leader,

the Importance of having some other
man who can unite the party Is appar-

tue South, in any event, is entitled to

the sinuosities of the New York politi-
cal managers as class, will snatch at
the bait or not, remains to be SEEN"

All women who sew, and the men
for whom they toll, should know.that
the Supreme Court of New York has
discussed these facts: The agent of a
sewing machine company had sold o
machine to person on what is known
as ''lease." The payments under
such sale are to be made by INSTALL
ments, but the machine Is only leased
to the purchaser, the payments are
designated ''rent," and when defaults
is made, If even on the very last In-
stallment, the agent steps in, reclaims
the machine and retains all the money
that has been paid upon it. This. one.
sided bargain Is cheat on its face, and
besides, large addition is generally
made to the honest price Of the ma
chine when thus sold on time. In the
Brooklyn case the purchaser had paid
eighty dollars, when, failing in meet
ing an installment, the machine was
seized and carried off by the agent.
The victimized purchaser brought suit
to recover the amount ne had paid
Judge Gilbert Immediately directed
the moi unwilling jury TO give the
plaintiff verdict for the full amount
with interest. The counsel for the
company pleaded for delay. "Not an
instant" was Judge Gilbert's reply.
This is treating these sharp dealers
to little of their own medicine. mot
an instant, Is their reply when spsr-
chaser asks for time. The Brooklyn
decision will probably encourage o
numher of neraona who have Loaf hoft,
their money and machines by such
sharp practice to attempt to recover

ArmageddOn The Eastern War

Editors Democratic Statesman - In
view of the impending conflict in
Europe, the following may interest
your readers: About thirty years ago
gentleman residing in Middle Ten

one of the largest and mcst prosper
Gus institutions of learning in the
South, published what purports to be
true Interpretation of the prophecies

created a profound sensation, for Abe

gIans everywhere because of his
thorough knowledge of the sacred
writings. In his work be agrees with
all the eminent commentators up to a
certain period, after which his inter
pretations are entirely different from
any ever made, and his arguments
to sustain them are unique and
highly interesting. II is remarkable
that Don Csstella, the great Spanish

entertain the same views from positions
differing so widely, Is, to say the least,
9 remarkable coincidence.
But what wish TO call your atten-

markable Interpretation of one OF the

A Washington telegram to the New

Mr.. Chamberlain Is to be rendered the
Swiss mission has been revived, and 1t
is thought that, under the changed
condition of affairs, he would accept,
should the President make the tender.
Perhaps the principal reason that in
duced Governor Chamberlain to de-
cline Federal appointment, pending
his gIbernatorial controversy, was the
fact that to have accepted then would
have subjected him to the suspicion of
using his position as the representative
of the South Carolina Republicans to
further his personal interests. That
reason no longer exists, and the Presi-
dent Is known to admire Governor
Chamberlain's talents, and appreciate
his personal sacrifices. It is probable

Editors Democratic Statesman In the
column of "Facts and Fancies" of
your issue of the twenty-eighth April
it is stated that "the army moved for
ward to this tune at the battle of San
Jacinto, when the finishing stroke was
given for independence. Permit an
eye witness to make corrections: On
the twentieth of April, 1886, the day
preceding the battle, demonstration
or feint was made on Houston's camp,
when party of Mexican lancers came
within rifle range of the Texans. 1t
was at this moment that our fife and
drum struck up, Twill You come to

where the "Twin Sisters" were sta
toned, in the edge of the timber in
front of the encampment. When the
lancers scampered off member of the

the following impromptu parody, which
at the time was entered in an old note

now reproduced for the first time since
it was written. Before going into bat
tie on the twenty-frst a few bars of
Yankee Doodle" were given from fife
and drum, but the musicians were
promptly ordered to cease, and the
army marched to the conflict without
music or noise until the onset, when
the wild shout of "the Alamol the

could render it. The following are the
verses above referred to:

As l have stated to you, your in
the one habitual drunkenness, the
other official misconduct. The word
habitual means the same in import as
formed or acquired by habit, or custom
airy; or usual or common by frequent
practice or use. II means more than
the word sometimes, nor does it i'm
ply reduced 20 actual imbecility.
Official misconduct means or relates
to misconduct in or about or pertaining
to tho duties of the office. The word
misconduct means the same as wrong
conduct, misbehavior, ill-behavior,
misdemeaLor, mlsde-d, delinquency,
offense, etc. And it is for you TO de-
termine whether, under the evidence,
it is true as charged that he has been
guilty Of official misconduct. Whether,
when his duty called upon him to act
in the interest of the State or county,
he has used his position to prevent the
due execution Of the law and willfully
or corruptly to screen any person from
a just prosecution for an otfense. II he

his prosecution and punishment there
for. Il is true that no man in this
State can be prosecuted for an act
made criminal without the act itself
being defined by law and its punish
ment fixed. 1t does not, however, follow
as a necessary sequence that official
misconduct might not be shown and
an officer removed therefor, provided
the evidence satisfied the jury that the
charge was true in fact.
You will write your finding upon the
evidence by answering these questions:
