Tabor Manse, Albe asrle County, Va.

The readers of the Central have not
forgotten the vivid picture of the Presby-
terianism of the old time, about Medium S
River and Mountain Plains in Albemarle,
drawn for them by J, Marshal McCue,
Esq. His narrative showed them how
our cause had been on an ebb-tide, now,
for fifty years, the waters receding, as it
were, into narrower bound near Rock
fish Gap, forfeiting the old stronghold at
Mountain Plains to another denomination.
But, for the last two years, the Rev. Hugh
Henry and the yoGsg Tabor church have
gallantly resolved that the old ground
shall be re-occupied $nd the waters are
flowing back in rs shing wave. Tabor
church, but a few iles from the old
headquarters, has bSS sreftted, at great
expense; and is noA aed by good con-
gregation. A goo modest manse, ad-
mirably situated j Hillsboro, and near
the church, is und sof, and the title to
the ground secure be Tabor people are
feeble folk b comics, "yet they
make their tbe rocks" Their
strength is sCfaiifed y xhaustion. They
need help, and they deserve help. They
ask for but little, for their aims are hum
ble I would suggest, for them, that each
one Of us help them to the amount of a
dollar; and as they have great deal Of
Scotch blood in their veins, remind them
of the old Scotch saw, Mony mickle
maks a muckle." Especially do I call on
the descendants of Elder William Woods,
and their connexions; Of the Wallaces,
Pilsons, and Waylands, in the Valley
far and near, to throw in their mite. Send
it to the Rev Hugh Henry, Greenwood

DANvILLE VA-CHURoH OF THE EPIPHANY.
The Rev. G. w. Dame, NJ D., who has been
rector of this parish for the last thirty eight
years, and who is the honored father Of three
sons in the holy ministry, has been most efficient
not only in building up his own parish, but also
in reviving several languishing churches in the
neighborhood.
His address at the laying Of the cornerstone
for new church, which has been already briefly
mentioned, was full of historical interest, alike
with reference to the position of the Church in
the State of Virginia, and also in reference to
the parish Of which he has so long been the faith
full rector
The following extracts will give some idea of
an address which was in all respects most admir-
able.
The Church in Virginia suffered, however, so
much from the -odiuru which attached 10 her as
having been, in colonial days, established by
English law, that, as Dr. Dame says, I almost
the entire people were against her, and the cry
was Down with the Church. The finger of
scorn was pointed at our ninety ministers, and,
for peace they had to resign their places, join
some other Church, or go away. So effective was
the work against the Church, that in 1915 she
was reported in General Convention as hopeless
lessly dead And Chief-Jus John Marshall,
himself Churchman, stated soon after this that
she was dead and could never rise again. '"
But it was designed, in the providence of God,
that this dead Church of 1S15-1820 should come
forth from her grave to the fulness Of life through
the power of the Spirit of God" She. has al
ready given to the Church about twenty bishops,
and think about four hundred ministers She
has one hundred and forty at work on her own
soil, has had missionaries in Europe, Asia. and
Africa, and has now fifteen thousand communing
members. -Gturotman, ,., ....

Storms Are FOun0ItngS.

When we are asked to give an &C.
count Of the birth of storm, we are
reluctantly compelled to admit that our
storms are, almost without exception,
foundlings, and that, as the precise
conditions to which they owe their or
igin are, for the most part, shrouded in
uncertainty, warm discussions at times
arise as to the parish whence they have
set out on their wanderings. Dove
said long ago that storms were due to
the interference of the polar current or
/ the east wind with the equatorial cur
rent or west wind. He gave the winds
these names, because on his view the
east winds really consisted of air flow
ing from the North or South pole tow
ard the equator, which was modified in
the direction of it's motion by it's change
of latitude; while west winds were really
due to air endeavoring to make it's way
back to the pole from the equator,
whose course was in it's turn modified
by it's own moving from lower to higher
latitudes. To the conflict of these two
grand currents, east and west winds,
Dove attributed all our storms but he
did not attempt to explain how the
currents came into collision. These
views, however correct on their cosmical
principles, have been superseded, of
late years at least, as regards the ex-
PLANTATION of our winds, by the modern
views of the relation between the wind
and the distribution of barometrical
pressure; but, unfortunately, we still
remain in comparative ignorance of the
ultimate causes to which the distribu-
ton of pressure, or the rise and fall of
the barometer, are due.-Popa1l0r Scj-

The Gorilla.

A gorilla from the west coast of At
RIGA is now lodged in the Crystal Pal
ace, London. The chimpanzee and
the orangoutang have arms that
enable them, with a slight stoop, to
touch the ground, while the arm of the
gorilla is not much out of proportion to
longarmed human being. In the
form of the hands and fingers, too, it is
more like man, these being much
shorter than those of the other two.
Most of all it's ear is strikingly human,
for it is small and beautifully formed,
and instead of a thin leathery flap jut-
ting outward, is set we'll in the head.
It has also welcomed brow, and it's
dark brown eyes are lighted up with an
expression that seems to speak of latent
intelligence. In profile it has the ex-
act resemblance to a little Guinea ne
gro, the blacklist of blacks; but, looked
at full faced, the almost total absence
of nose, the fiat and open nostrils, the
long and powerful jaws, and the vast
cavity which forms the mouth, rob it of
what is suggestive of the "humau face
divine" When standing at it's full
height the gorilla may be about two
feet, but if he lives to be full-grown. he
may attain from four to five feet.

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANIKaa.
To the demand for small billsis ad

To the demand for small billsis add
ed an urgent appeal from many localities for
more pennies. The Secretary of the Treasury
has ordered the Philadelphia mint to produce
enough Of the latter to meet all applications
AS to the former, the statement recently issued
is reiterated. In return for bankers drafts on
New York the treasury will ship bills of any
denomination desired, but without expense or
risk to the Government. The reason advanced
for not sending the currency to the Western
sub-treasuries is that their clerks are too few
to permit of the performance Of additional
duties.
A horrible disaster recently occurred
near Port Cortes, Mexico A railway train
was blown up by 400 kegs of gunpowder
which was on board, and all the passengers,
ten in number, instantly killed.

Grant and the Ex-COnfederates.

Gen. Grant was rendered q big reception at
the City Hall, in San Francisco, which was at
tended by a number of ex-Confederate soldiers.
To them the General spoke as follows:
"GENTLEMEN: 1t has afforded me great sat-
isfacton and pleasure to observe the very cordial
reception I have received here, and especially
the welcome coming from the gentlemen you
represented. If you had travelled around the
world, as l have for several years
past, you would appreciate, like me,
the value of our common country more
completely than any man can who stays
at home You would be everywhere gratifed
to see that we are recognized by all the nations
of the earth in higher light than our own peo-
pie imagine Abroad our resources are con-
sidered unlimited When one gets to see the
nations of the world, he begins to appre-
ciate the inestimable value of our broad
acres and the great energy of our people
that is forever upbuilding in State, city, and
town. 1t affords me very great satisfaction
and pleasure to receive the gentlemen who
were, long ago, opposed to us, and hope, if
this country ever sees another war, we shall
all be together, under one flag, fighting COM
mon enemy"

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The September report of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture on the condition of ihe
wheat crop indicates an increase over the yield
of 1878. The potato crop average for the
whole country is 95, against 70 the same time
last year. The condition of the bucbwheat is
somewhat better than last year. The average
is 50 for the whole country. Sorghum aver
ages 81, against 81 last year.
The Treasury Department at Wash
ington is surprised at the fact that, notwith-
standing the new order for the payment of gold
to those who want it, by the Sub-Treasurers in
the leading cities of the country, hardly any
call is made for the yellow metal The people
prefer paper money.
The State Department is said to have
nearly completed a modification of the Gushing
Burlingame treaties with China relative to emf
grafton. The principal feature of the new treaty
is said to be guarantee that the importation OF
shall be discouraged while the intercourse CT
the citizens of the United States with China is
to be restricted to few of the leading cities
The purpose of the new treaty is topromote
trade rather than emigration, and to place the
merchants of the two countries on CONNER
cial equality.
The large amount of foreign gold
coin in the treasury is to be recoined into s.
and $40 pieces. Of tie entire amount gold
in the treasury, but little over &c, 100000 is OF
denomi ations less than 800 The 1scoinage
is designed to supply this deficiency.

No Place Like Home.

There is no place like home" may be
ridiculed by the masses as it is sung from the
alley and embroidered on the cardboard, but
how truthfully comes the acceptation to ou1
hearts. Friends may care for and love and
nurse rs back to health but still we feel we ought
not to remain, and at home we receive and ex-
pect these attentions, and do not feel particu-
larry under obligations, only as we ought to all
who do us favor, and repay the act with love.
hard to feel indebted, for by acts we can
prove their love reciprocated, and how oft I
think of remark [ heard my mother use when
| was quite young to friend who had been
very kind to me: Il can never thank you
for your kindness to my child, but [ hope
to return the attention to your children" Thus
with hatred; if we dislike person it is SO diff
cult to see anything good in their children.
You may say you know the child is not to blame
for the parents fault, but still you do not bear
the same feeling toward it that you would like.
The old saying "a black sheep in every flock
is often true, though we frequently see many
without, and the white ones are by no means
to blame. Let us credit each one according to
his Just deserts, and hold no one responsible
for the sins of his brother. It may be greater
grief to them than any one else, and shall we
increase their burden by neglect instead of
aiding them to bear it? Can any of YOU aid
me by telling me what will destroy the moths
that have come to annoy me since left home?
Do not say red pepper OF tobacco, for they will
walk right through it-your pardon, I meant
crawl! Have you ever tried benzne? and with
what result? It takes away the pleasure of 6
visit to be so troubled on ones return, though
we must take the bitter with the sweet, and I
will try while moth hunting to think of those
dear friends who made the summer so short.

After Harvest.

1t is after harvest the farmers say.
And the falling leaves are brown;
The golden grain is on its way
To old Chicago town.
Joy shall Tighten the hearts of all,
And peace dwell on each brow.
And garnered wealth of fruitful fall
Succeed the blade and pillow.
Ceres has blown her bugle horn.
To call the men afield
To gather up her rinened corn,
And bless them with her yield;
But soon the note shall sound affair,
Unto the rising sun,
And cheer on cheer shall fill the air.
The busy work is done.
The farmer for each golden pile
Takes back the rolls of green,
With wads of scrip and checks the while
Sandwiched so neat between,
And with his ready hand provides
For rough old King Winter,
And promptly goes and pays besides
The bill he owes the printer.
