The way In which Mr.. CONKLING sat upon
Mr.. THURMAN at that timo In tho morning
when everything was yawning, including even
tho Senate but barring tho cocks. proves that
the wit for which our Now York Senator is
famous has not rustcd by long disusc. 1t is
seldom. II ever. that ingenuity has shown on
to bcttor advantage, and the remark about tho
tin roostcrs was worthy Of GRATTAN. We may
now expect a brilliant reply. II possible, from
Mr.. THURMAN. and perhaps ono or two other
Senators may DO drawn in. and an ambition to
be witty may extend through tho ranks Of the
entire body. 30 that the United States Senate.
instead Of talking to empty galleries with words
that have no echo. may have crowds Of excited
listeners. and " the sonorous and elaborate nom
partisan" snoro no longer DO heard.

Some Of tho late college rows have been
silly enough but few Of them have been enly-
ened by the use Of deadly weapons. At Char
loltcsvile on Wednesday two students and an
ex student Of the University Of Virginia were
ont walking. They met three negroes In
some way-by accident. according to the
studcn,s-onc Of tho negroes was Iostled and
his hat Knocked on This led 10 a fight The
white boys Were getting the worst Of it. when
one Of them drew his pistol and shot a negro
shoemaker in the side-whether fatally or not
remains TO be seen. Then they surrendered
themselves. but their instructors assured the
magistrate that they were good boys. and the
magistrate held one Of them-the one who did
the shooting-in light bail.
Probably neither the professors nor the mag
istrate saw anything remarkable in the ARRAY.

BRAINS.

EDITOR ADVANCES: We have at last
discovered why it is that the farmers
and handwriting class of men don't
get along better; why they are SO unfit
to do any business or to hold an Office.
The mystery has been solved at last.
1t is because they have no brains.
What a great pity! We have good,
upright, honest, Industrious farmers
that would do to fill any office or to
send to Congress but alas they have no
brains. n man, Of course, can carry
on farm and raise wheat and corn
without brains, but when it comes to
building bridges and running county,
it takes lots of brains. How glad we
should be to know that we are blessed
and that the great ruler of all things
has sent into our midst this individual
with plenty of brains. Yes we should
all he thankful that we have some one
that has got brains to run our county.
II it was not for this, our county that
now looks 80 bright would be Il total
wreck. Now, we do hope that this in
dividual that is blessed with so much
brains will share with some of our poor
ignorant farmers. If you will just
come up, you shall have Il free ride by
rail and II new feather stuck in your
hair. Or give us your name in next is

tic medicine that can lie employed cleans
ing the stomach, and bowels, and even the

they stimulate tie digestive organs and
promote vi roroEs health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assinilativc organs of the
body: and arc so composed that obs,ruc-
tlons within their range can rarely with
stand or cvatle them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of cverv-
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baG,c,l the best OF
human skill. While they produce power
fal effects. they are, at the same time, the
safest and best phvSic for children. BY
their apcricnt action they grippe much less
than the common purga,iyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not intlamcd.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calornel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable. no harm can arise
from .heiy use in any quantity.

OUR VIEWS AGAIN.

EDITOR ADVANCE: 1 notice in your
defense against the charge of iniidelity:
you say: IF we understand Mr.. Brooks,
he discredits the Inspiration Of the BIZ
BILE. We believe in it, except where it
is merely historical or interpolated by
the later priests" Well, now that is
refreshing. Please tell us of Il single
passage that would be left when these
two exceptions are taken away.
J. II. BROOKS.
In reply to Mr.. Brooks, we only give
our views. In the brief article to which
he alludes we could not, Of course, go
into details without going up as high rs
"l7thly," as the sermonizers do. But
we will say here that we believe the
prophecies Of Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekial
and that wonderful categorical pana-
ramo called the Revelation Of for to- st.
John were ''given by inspiration"
That is, that Il high order Of spirit
came to these men and inspired them
or told them what to write. In the
case Of St. John, the spirit who appear
ed to him told him distinctly that he
was lone OF his brethren of the prOph-
cts" sent to show him the vision of the
future.
AS to the interpretations, we do not
doubt that they are numerous. We
understand the Revision Board which
has been sitting for several years has
rejected that beautiful story about the
woman taken in adultery, as an inter-
polation. 1t is pity that it should
not'stand, for it is OIL Il par with tile
best things in the life and teachings Of
Christ.
AS to the historical parts, we have
no more idea that the Chronicles and
the mass Of merely historical matter
bound up IN the Jewish Bible were in
spired, than we have that Josh Bill
ings' Almanac was given by inspira-

Out Of the l57 points heard from the
democrats in % districts are declared to
prefer Tilden. Thurman comes next,
with % districts, Bayard with Ii and
Hendricks and Hancock bring up the
rear. The Times's conclusion is that
If the democratic convention were held
to-morr TIlden would seem sure of
the votes ofno less than 81 of the 3S
States whilst on the republican side
according to the Times's showing, were
the republican convention to be held at
once, Gen. Grant would recei7e the
vote of every State except Maine, Ne
vada, Oregon and possibly California.
In the list Mr.. Tilden's stock Is repre-
scented as highest in Baltimore, and at
Easton and Denton, and their vieinites,
whilst at other points in Maryland it Is
claimed he is surpassed by Bayard and
Thurman; Grant is desired by republic
cans generally throughout the State. In
Delaware the tavorltes are Bayard and
Grant. In Virginia Thurman stands
first, though Bayard finds most favor
with some of the leaders the pre-
ponderance of republican sentiment is
for Grant. In " est Virginia the demo-
Gratis prefer Thurman, and the republi-
cans everywhere are are for Grant.
