SIT MOVES"

The Rev. John Jasper, pastor OF
the most fashionable colored peoples
church in Richmond, Va, is said to
lave made such q bold and striking
dash in the line Of sensational preach
ing last Sunday, as to place himself
in the very front rank of that sort OF
divines. Mr.. Jasper does not accept
the astronomical theory which makes
the sun the fixed centre. He fearless
]y announced his purpose to demon
strate til It the sun moves. The an
nouncement drew such a large throng
of inquirers after truth that hundreds
were obliged to stand impatlentIy on
the outside. If he did not demon
strate his assertion he said he would
never preach agin. He challenged
any one to answer his argument. lie
took his stand on the good book
which told him how Joshua once COM
manded the sun to stand still. How
could it do so if it had not been NOV
ing? He paused for reply but none
came. Modern philosophers, men Of
science talsel y so called, would have
lis believe that the earth revolved
around the sun. The idea was pre-
posterous. No intelligent coored
man could believe it.. If it were true
every thing white and black would
soon be all mixed up in confusion.-
The ocean would slop over the whole
land. There would be terrible disas
ters by fire and flood, more than he
could mention in a brief two hours
discourse. The very church building
in which his beloved hearers were as
sembled might suddenly be whirlel a
thousand miles away, may be to Afrl-
ca. The bare thought Of that was
awful. Mr.. Jasper waxed warm in
his argument. Old Probabilities came
in for share of his denunclations.-
The philosophers say it will rain
tomorrow and 10, when tomorrow
comes it is clear. That shows what
they know. He proceede | with deep
earnestness to prove that the sun
moves. His congregation gave every
token by their attention hat his dis
course was satisfactory, but to put
their approval beyond all doubt he
concluded to take a vote. All who
now believed that the sun moves
We're requested to hold up their
right hands. The countless hands
which were instantly uplifted showed
that the vote was unanimous. The
much exhausted preacher then wiped
the perspiration from his brow with
his red bandanna and took his seat
feeling that his effort was a triumph.
So far we have heard Of no refutatiou
Of his argument by the philosophers.

That Wife of Mine.

Yes Betsey Ann could never hold her tongue. would "blab out" all she knew. So one day she fell in with old Aunt Polly Baker, who had been sorelv afflicted with chills and fever for several years and could find no relief. Betsey Ann volunteers to say that there WAS q remedy that would cure her sound and well, and that it did not contain any bad med icine, that it did not make thunder in the head, that it falrly "tore up" the chills, root and branch and work ed them out through tue liver and bowels. and that the article was known as Days Ague Tonic. Aunt Polly was cnred very soon thereafter. -Feb14.

Among the Dead Failures

Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may bs numbered! Beginning their careers with tremendous flourish of trumpets, blazoned for time in the public prints and on flaming posters, soon, but not too soon, were they re- legated to the limbo of things lost on earth. But Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters is living and thriving remedy. It goes on curing and to cure. Neither underhand nor open competition affect it. On the contrary, contrast with inferior rival preparations only increases it's populat- ity. It has been repeatedly imitateI but without success. Counterfeits of
 have been surreptitiously introducel
 but have fallen flat. Everywhere
 it entrenches itself in the confidence
 the people; and well it may, for ic i4 thoroughly reliable invigorant of t feeble, banishes dyspepsia and cons
 patton, braces the nerves, cures rheS matic ailments and kidney ccmplain# and eradicates and prevents interm# tent and remittent levers.

"German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world wis ever given such a test of it's curative qualities as Boschee's German Syrup. In three years two millions four hum dred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge by Druggists in the country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Group, severe Coughs, Pneu- monia and other diseasef of the throat and lungs, giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and vil- lage in the United States are recom- mending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist, and ask what they know about it. Sample bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. Three doses will relieve any case.

Safe and Sure.


 MR. II. k. STEVENS.
 In 1872 your vegctinc was recom- mended to me; and, yicleing to the persuasions of friend, I consented t try it. At the time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by overwerk and irregular habits. It's wonderful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose: and under it's per sistcnt use rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feel ing. Since them have not hesitated to give Vegctine my most unqualified endorsement as being safe, sure, and powerful agent ill promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine use, and as long as live l never expect to find better.
 Yours truly, ". II. CLARK,

 The following letter from Rev. c. ". Mansfield, formerly pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled in Lowell, must convince every one whorea his letter of the wonderful curative qualities of Vegetine as thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood.
 HYDE PARK, MAss., Feb. 15, 1876. MR. II. R. STEVENS.
 Dear Sir,-About ten years ago my health failed through the deepening effects of dys soepsia; nearly year later 1 was attacked by typhoid fever in its worst form. It settled in my back and took the form of a large decpseated abseess, which was fifteen months in gathering. had two surgical opera tions by the best skill in the State, but received no permanent cure. 1 suffer- ed great pain at times, and WIS con- stantly weakened by a profuse dis charge. I also lost small pieces of bone at different times.
 Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when friend recommended me to go to your office and talk with you of the virtue of Veg etine. I did so, ann by yonr kindness passed through your manufactory, not ing the Ingredients, &c., by which your remedy is produced.
 By what 1 saw and heard 1 gained some confidence in Vegetine.
 1 commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from it's effects; still l perseyered, and soon felt it was bene- fitting me in other respects. Yet l did not see the results 1 desired till had taken it faithfully for a little more than year, when the difficulty in the back was cured; and for nine months have enjoyed the best of health.
 l have in that time gained twenty five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, aud 1 was never more able to perform labor than now.
 During the past few weeks l had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gathering on another part of my body.

Under these circumstances and in view of the failure of the plan pro- posed to secure the appreciation of q majority of the creditors, real or as sumed, of the various classes as nam- ed in your original proposition, 1t IS proper to say that the Board is of the opinion that any further pro gross in the settlement of the debt will not not involve the necessity of any reference to your proposal of June 27, which we consider as hay ing failed from causes over which we consider as having failed from causes over which you had no con- l trol.
 l We are perfectly assured that in all your efforts in the premises both yourself and Mr. Redlicld, have acted in manner perfectly honorable, as was to be expected from gentlemen of your standing and position; and that you have used every reasonable exer- ton to obtain final settlement of these matters, with full conviction of the importance of such q settlement to the public welfare.

The Mep York Public OF December 9th
is on our table. Itgiyes the relative bank
clearings Of the principal cities for the
months OF November this year and last.
Up at Pittsburgh we notice that the clear
ings fell off from Sl7 ,69O,9l0 in November,
1877, to Sl5, ,3G5, ,404 this November, de.
cline Of 1872 per, cent, AT Cincinnati there
was decline OF 1917 and at Chicago an in
crease OF 40 per cent. The total exchanges
at twenty.three cities amounted, during
the month OF November, to s2,S50, sos, ,032.
OF this enormous total 81 ,G4l u.s., ,563 were
made through the New York Clearing
House, and s717, ,O60 at all the other
cities. The total at Philadelphia was sll6,-
1882; the total at Baltimore, i43, ,6+0,O02;
the total at Boston, which ranks next to
New York, was Sl9o,7Ss,642; the total at
Chicago was s77,o95,0s4. Comparing the
exhibit for November this year with No
vember, 1877 the Public says:
"During November, 1878, the country
distributed to consumers Is per cent more
goods than were distributed in November,
1877, but ut prices lower by 10 per cent.
For example, exports OF cotton were about
10000 bales, against $4,000 last year, a
gain OF l2 per cent, but there was still
greater decline in.price. The receipts Of
grain at lake ports were IS per cent larger
than in November OF last year, but the de-
cline in prices was fully as great. Hence
the payments made through all the clear
ing houses in November, after dcduc-
ton for those which arise from stock
speculation in New York, amount to about
s, ,025, ,000, 900, while the payments in Nov
ember, 1877, with deduction for sales Of
stock amount to about S2,026, ,000,0 900. In
effect the same volume of'business is done
in values, though at a range OF prices fully
Is per centum lower than in 1877. The
sales OF stock at New York were 3,S44, 600
shares, against 2,775,0O0 shares last year,
but the increase OF exchanges was about
S95, ZOO, 900, 80 that there was a con-
siderable gain in transactions arising from
other than stock operations. But in the
cities outside New York the aggregate de-
crease in exchanges was about $50, 900 900,
or 81 per centum."
