The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-03-27

The subject of church lotteries has
arrested the attention of the Massachu.
se.ts legislature, which has been petit
toned for a law providing that nc
church which promotes lotteries shall
hold its property exempt from taxation,
At hearing the other day, the Rev.
William Barrow, d. d., who is secretary
of the Home Missionary society, said he
understood "rsfiies to be sort of kid
glove term for lotteries )" and churches
which nullifed the law slapped, he said,
the legislature in the face and cufed the
revised statutes. The Rev. J. G. Foster,
Methodist, said that in his churches the
fairs had been hello without lotteries,
and the receipts had been about the
same. The subject seems to be attract
ing the attention of churches in other
parts of the country, and the result viii
probably be a discontinuance of the
practice in many Gases, though it may
not bring about its entire abandonment.

COMPLETE and absolute bankruptcy
seems to have overtaken Florence the
beautiful" In a single commune three
thousand houses are announced fer sale
for tsxes at the instance of the munci-
pal authorities. There is a frightful dis
tress, and but for the munifcence OF
Prince Demidof, who supports the soup
kitchens, many would perish from actual
starvation. Local jealousies obtain so
strongly in the Italian legislature that
the government, while conscious that
something will have 70 be done on its
part toward the rehabilitation of the
whilom proud and prosperous home Of
the Medicis, shrink from introducing a
measure which they have too good reason
to fear would meet with luke-warm
support.

JOHN CHINkMAS, MY JOE JOHN.
John Chinaman my Joe John,
When we we've first scquaiut,
Your locks were plIited in queue.
and that was our complaint.
Now comb them out and GET thee drunk,
Ere goes the winter snow,
And lengthen out your upper lip
John ChInaman, my Joe.
John Chinaman, my joe John,
Spend money at the bar,
Cnew Christian weed, not opium iced,
Nor send your money fac.
Get up and run for alderman
And let your Irish flow;
So shall you rule the country soon,
John Chinaman, my Joe.
And when you get SO oil John,
You cannot work or play,
B. Butler shall pension get,
To smooth your downward way.
Then send not home your bones, John.
For Chinese guano,
But keep them 10 EN- ich our soil,
John Chinaman, my Joe.
Oh, whom you get 10 heaven, John,
You'll not be told to go
Because your locks are plated, John,
Your cheeks are hattened 30.
But you shall have slight COMPANY;
The worldlings hate you so
That they viii seek the other place,
John Chinaman, my joe.

not have the same pursued by
both, for | lould dread to find always
in the parlor duplicate of the counting
room or office. There must be differ
ence of culture corresponding to the diff
ference of position in society. There
are some vocations of men which cers
tainly it is not becoming that women
should follow. There are others in
which, for obvious reasons, they can not
compete successfully with men. There
are others in order to pursue which
they must forget that which is more
ftting-the first province, the ornament
OF home life. However, these two lines
of culture, or the two fields of culture,
intersect each other in many points and
have great deal in common. Certainly
it would benefit young men were their
scientific culture OF higher order than
it is won't to be, and I believe that
young women are largely benefited BY
more thorough course than usual of
scientific study"

Ii the Sahara Is Flooded, What ?


The only important objection which
has thus far been urged against the un.
dertaking has arisen in the apprehen-
sions expressed by few scientists that
the evaporation produced by SO large
and SO shallow body of water, exposed
to the tropical sun would be su fhcient to
de]uge northern Europe with incessant
rains, and to reduce materially the tenn.
perature in all the countries north of the
Alps. 1t has been feared that winds
freighted with moisture on crossing the
cold submits OF the Alps, would precip
itate vast vo umes of water and produce
degree of cold which would give Den
mark and northern Germany a semi<
arctic climate and produce glacial epoch
farther north. is it not probable that
all such apprehensions arise out of
misunderstanding as to the topography
of the Sahara and north Africa. The
entire region to be flooded is practically
shut in by mountain chains on all sides.
The Atlas mountains on the north, lift
ing their snow-capped peaks in some in
stances 10000 feet, afford a sufficient
bulwark for the protection of Europe
from increased humidity. The only
possible northerly outlet for air currents
from Ell Juf would be across Tunis in
northearterly direction over the widest
part of the Mediterranean. Currents
moving in that direction, if they reached
Europe at all, would touch the shores of
Greece, after they had lost most of their
humidity. M. de Lesseps,.after careful
examination of the question, is convinced
that it would result in the general im~
provement of the climate of Europe,
rather than to its detriment. The ad.
vantages of the increased evaporation to
north Africa can not be over estimated.
The snow.clad cliffs of Aban, lying to
the east of the proposed sea, and the
Kong mountains to the south, would
bring down upon the parched desert
grateful rains, which, with the assistance
of cultivation, would in time, no doubt,
redeem thousands of square miles from
the desolation of the sands.

wholesome stimulant: and among those
which have been tested and administered
by them, none have received such hearty
recommendation as Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters.. 1t has been preferred by them from
the fact that its spirtuous basis, which is of
the ,purest description, is modified by, and
made the vehicle for, the vegetable medi-
cinal principles Incorporated with it. These
latter render it consplcuously serviceable in
cases Of general debility, constipation: aud
other disorders of the bowels: in dyspe p~ia,

The Sexes i'm Education,

In a speech at a dinner of tie friends
OF female school in Andover, Mass.
the other day, the Rev. DR.. Peabody, Of
Harvard university, speaking of co-edu-
cation, said: 'The question that frs
presents ITSELF is, Shall the education
of young men and women be in all re-
spects the same!' I would answer yes,
if their destiny in life, If their native
proclivity and capacity, if the parts that
they, in Divine Providence, are to fill in
the world were the same. But because
they are not the SAME, can not but
think that there will be fttingly di.
versity in the modes of training. The
question is sometimes raised of the
equality of men and women. I don't
like the word. Equivalency is the
word, and that I maintain in the fullest
sense. I admit no difference in the
worth of native endowments and capa.
cities, and il I admit any difference to
the extent of influence, as to the amount
of good work done in the world, it must
be on the side of women certainly. But
I believe that women can not learn and
do equally with man all the things that
he learns and does, and that man can not
learn and do equally well with women
all the things that she learns and does
His is the wider, hers the richer field
His the strength OF reasoning, hers the
quicker intuition and clearer insight
J his the more easy mastery of abstract
science, hers the far finer seeing nature
the keener sense of hestuy in art and il
literature, and the larger capacity o
culture in ali that pertains tt
the beauty, charm, ornament, ant

Swimming Extraordinary.

The six days swimming contest at the
Lambeth baths, London, was brought to
conclusion on the night of the Oath of
May [saturdsy), at half,past ten
o'clock. 1t resulted in the victory of the
channel hero, Captain Webb, who suc-
ceeded in swimming altogether a total
distance of seventy.four miles. Webb's
performance mustss be regarded as a
remarkable one, and another exempli6~
cation of the extraordinary power he
possesses of being able to stay in the
water longer at time than any other
living swimmer. On the first two days
he remained in the water fourteen hours
each day, on the third and fourth day
he averaged little under thirteen hours.
on Friday he took but little rest, and on
Saturday he was In the water from half
past seven in the morning until haf.
eleven at night. No change took place
during Saturday in the position of the
swimmers. Webb swan on quietly
during the day, and Fearne, the only
man able to make the semblauee of 9
struggle with him, was too far behind to
cause any interest to be taken in his
sxertions, A Bouquet was given to
Webb in the water, and at the termina-
tion OF the proceedings he was presented
with q medal. The following was the
final record of each man: Webb, "A
