thickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always,
cured by it's use. Nothing can, re-
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasionaluse will prevent the hair
from turning gray OR falling off,
and consequently prevent badness.

The Atheist as q Witness.

In a recent trial in Tennessee the
court refused to receive acertain mans
testimony, on the ground that he was
an atheist. Some of the religious pa
pers speak approvingly Of this decis-
ion. Now, we are willing to assent
to almost anything that may be said
or done against atheists, but we think
two opinions may be held regarding
the wisdom of this Tennessee Judges
ruling.
The object Of court in calling wit
nesses is to arrive at knowledge of
facts. Now, is the word Of an atheist
good for anything as a guide in our
search after facts? Is there not more
than one atheist who may be believed
when he tells us that he has or has
not seen Jones this morning? that it
did or did not rain yesterday in his re-
gion? or even on such a matter as
that he will pay his store bill on de-
mand? Now, if the word of an athe-
ist may be taken by his neighbor-if
even loan of money may sometimes be
safely made on it-may not the court
receive it? The man may not fear
Divine judgment for perjury; but,
nevertheless, there are certain consid-
erations which have some influence ON
him to induce him to speak the truth.
AS to a belief in the punishment of
perjury after death, there are many
witnesses in court whose fears are less
regarding that than Of the penitentia-
ry on earth, in case they testify false
ly.
Grant that mans credulity is i'm
paired by lack Of belief in God;
his testimony may still be taken for
what it is worth. If witness is very
young, if he is unidentified, if he is
man of bad character, if he is strong
ly preiudiced one way or the other,
the jury may not give the weight to
his evidence they would otherwise;
but still it is listened to. So the tes-
timony of an atheist may be worth
something.
As to the suggestion that if he does
not believe in God he cannot take an
oath, the answer is that, like the Qua
ker, who refuses to take an oath, he
can affirm.
In urging the rejection of an athe-
lists testimony, we may be cutting off
our own noses. 1t may be society,
and not the atheist, that is injured.
Indeed, others than atheists are gen.
orally glad to escape being put in the
witness-box; but society may suffer if
they are excused from testifying. The
atheist may be the only person who
saw with his own eyes the transactions
in question. To reject his testimony
may be to let the criminal go free, to
send the innocent man to prison, to
let the widow be defrauded, to iniure
not him, but those who believe in a
God.

Waste.

There must be, of necessity, per-
transactions of everyday life, whether
these be carried on in the workshop,
the counting-room, the kitchen, or
the labratory; but this inevitable
waste can be so far reduced by good
management that it amounts to but
little in the course of year. Obserya-
ton has convinced us that the loss in
large workshops must be considerable,
for in a great majority of cases we
have seen materials lying about under
foot-bolts, nuts, washers, kicking
around in the mud out in the yard,
new work exposed to injury from the
elements, tools misplaced, essential ar
ticles, or tools necessary to the perfec-
ton of certain parts of the work, at
great distances from each other, and
an infinite number Of abuses which,
although small of themselves, when
summed up, make grand total loss
at the end of the year. AS the thirty
second part of an inch too little on
one piece of steam engine, a sixty
fourth on another, and as much on
still another will result in great de-
rangement of the functions Of the
machine, so infnitesimal waste, con-
tinually occurring, is the representa-
tive of hundreds of dollars for which
there has been no return. No matter
what the nature of the trade or manu-
facture, it is very certain that ma
terial reduction of the expenses of
every department can be made by
careful attention to the minor matters,
and these remarks are made with the
hope that all interested will give them
attention.

The OUt.IOOk.

Assassination and attempted assas-
slnatlon still go on uninterruptedly in
the South. The negro exodus contin-
ues, and a solid North is indicated by
the late eastern elections. These are
harmonious elements surely working
out the political problem of this coun-
try. A focal point is approaching,
but Southern murderers are putting
all hope of reconciliation beyond the
possibilities. The presidential cleo
tlon IS also approaching. The South
must lose largely in representation
under the next census, and the only
hope now for this sin-cursed land Of
rebellion and intrigue is to rise bodily
and exterminate the ku-klux and shot
gun-policy leaders within her borders,
or succumb to the certain fate which
is in waiting Ballot-box stufing
will, no doubt, be again attempted,
but it is hardly possible that success
equal to the past will attend this
measure. The next presidential cleo
ton will be solidly Republican.
There is no help for it. This will be
SO overwhelming that all charges Of
fraud will be of no avail. The admin
istration of the government is doomed
to go back into the hands that saved
it from ruin during the war. Reac-
ton resistless as the tides of the ocean
has already set in. The lengthening
rope policy is virtually at an end.
The overtures of the North have been
dashed to the ground There is no
more rope to run off, and if the pres
ent condition of things in the South
is to continue, the army will go back
upon Southern soil as the only means
of protection. The cries Of the op-
pressed and butchered will not contin-
ue forever; and though too slow to
move, the general government will
yet find way to force the lawless to
respect the laws of the land. Resist
ance, save as it can be made under the
present plea Of state sovereignty is out
of the question, and state sovereignty
will yet be buried in the grave of that
slavery for the perpetuity of which it
rose into being and has ever since
struggled for its existence. When
congress becomes loyal, as it will be-
come at no distant day, these ques-
tions will be settled by proper legisla-
ton, and the strong arm Of the gov
ernment will do the rest.

From the Examiner and Chronicle.1

A "Moral Interregnum" Threatened.
The November number Of the At
lantic Monthly has thoughtful arti-
Gle by Prof. Goodwin Smith, on ''The
Prospect of Moral Interregnum."
The Agnostic science of the day has
undermined the faith Of many in the
Christian religion. Herbert Spencer
and others are endeavoring to establish
a basis of morality in science, indie
pendent Of religion. On this state of
things Professor Smith remarks:
engage itself finally from religion, and to find
ed on % religious beiief, and the collapse Of reli-
gious belief has accordingly been always fol-
lowed by sort OF moral interregnum.
This thesis he supports by an ap-
peal to history. Among the Greeks
and Romans just before the Christian
era, in Europe before the Reforma-
tion, in China to-day, we see people
without any real belief in religion of
any sort. In each Of these cases the
effect of a general skepticism is to
produce a general disregard of moral
ity. LET us eat and drink, for to-
morrow we die" is the motto of those
in all ages and nations who believe
that death ends all The general ex-
.perience of mankind demonstrates
that when religious belief loses its
hold on men, moral precepts have lit
tie restraining power; and warrants
an expectation that if the tendencies
of the present are unchecked, there is
to be a great collapse of religious be-
lief which will be followed by pro-
portionate moral degradation. Nor
ality and religion seem to be divinely
joined together, and the man or the
nation that puts them asunder does it
at great risk. This is an outline of
Professor Smiths article. 1t is worth
noticing that he does not argue from
a Christian stand point at all, but
merely as a student of history. For
this reason his words will carry with
them greater weight to the class of
persons forwhom he especially writes.
1t can hardly be doubted that the
great danger Of our times is this di-
vorce of religion from morality. 1t
matters little whether the divorce re-
suits from disbelief in religion, or
in a failure to practise morality on
the part of the ostensibly religious.
In either case the practical effect is
the same. The unbeliever fails to
keep himself to a high moral standard
because he lacks motive; the nominal
believer fails because his motive is not
sufficiently strong to lead to action.
The remedy for both failures is the
same; namely, that religion which IS
not merely belief but a life. The
faithful preaching of the truths OF
Gods Word is not merely the best a an
tidote but the only antidote to TINS
great evil. Preach the law first, then
the gospel, and then the law aga7mH, m,.
is a maxim that is attributed to MI
Spurgeon. 1t is worthy OF his WIDE ',
experience and sound sense, at any
rate. Had there been more OF tnlS

Manufacture of Clothing.

It is estimated that $4,000 men and
women are employed in Philadelphia
in the manufacture of clothing, and
100000 suits are made there every
year. Cutting machines are gradually
finding their way into all of the large
manufacturing establishments of the
city. The machines have capability
of cutting nearly eighteen hundred
garments in a day Of twelve hours, or
about equal to the combined results Of
the labor of eight men. Buttonholes
also can be worked by machinery at
the rate Of one hundred and eighty
per hour, while by hand it would take
the same period to complete three
holes. By the cutting machines folds
of cloth forty ply thickness can be
easily cut through. An instance of
the value Of machinery in expediting
manufacture is afforded in the fact
that the establishment where cutting
and buttonhole machines are used
turns out one hundred suits ready for
wear inside of twelve hours Scien-

Thanksgiyin Proclamation,

The following proclamation was is
sued by the President last Monday:
At no recurrence of the season
which the devout habit of religious
people has made the occasion of Civ
ing thanks to Almighty God and
humbly invoking His continued favor,
has the material prosperity enjoyed by
our whole country been more con-
spicuous, more manifold, or more
universal. During the past year, also,
unbroken peace with all foreign ma
tions, the general prevalence of do
mestic tranquility, and the supremacy
and security of the great institutions
of civil and religious freedom, have
gladdened the hearts of our people
and confirmed their attachment to
to their government, which the wis
dom and courage of our ancestors so
fitly formed and the wisdom and cour-
age Of their descendants have so firmly
maintained, to be the habitation of
liberty and justice for successive gen.
erations.
Now, therefore, l, Rutherford B.
Hayes, President Of the United States,
do appoint Thursday, the 9th day of
November, instant, as the day of Ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer, and |
earnestly recommend that withdraw
ing themselves from secular cares and
labors, the people Of the United States
do meet together on that day in their
respective places of worship, there to
give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for his mercies, and to devoutly
beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be fixed.
Done at Washington this
T seal. 13d day of November, i'll the
year of our Lord 1879, and of
the independence of the United States
the one hundred and fourth.

Autumn.


The rich autumna1 shadows fall;
The first brown leaf wheels slowly down;
And all along the orchard wall
The MOSES gather deeper brown.
Through all the rounded golden hours
No sound steals in from village street;
Alone the chimes from distant towers
Float hourly through my still retreat.
Across the vale, the rugged hills
Are starting from their summer gloom,
And bursting heather glowS and fills
Their skyward curves with purple bloom.
Again with autumn comes the time
When you and would cross the vale,
And reach the mountain foot. and climb
Till stars renewed the evening tale.
wander still where nature haunts
Her secret places seldom sought;
But even nature something wants.
A subtle something, deeply wrought.
And here alone sit, and now
Thy voice is hushed. but those dear eyes
That flashed beneath thy brave boy-brow
Are haunting me as daylight dies.
The sun slopes slowly to his rest,
This soft September afternoon,
Till all the color leaves the west,
And sleeps the world in twilight gloom.
