The Age Of Miracles.

Bristol News: We wish it un-
derstood in the outset that this ar
ticle is penned in good faith, and
seriousness. The iacts are given as
we get them, and the authors are
too respectable for their statements
to be treated with levity. To be
brief, there is an unpretending
man, named Jno. Miller, just inside
Moccasin Gap, not far from Estill-
vile, at McMullin's Mills, of whom
it is said he can cure, and does dai-
ly cure, the most stubborn and Sc
we're chronic cases of diseases
known in the country. A few days
ago the editor of the News met Col.
JnO. n. Bossang on Main street,
and, knowing that he has been for
many months in very poor health,
accosted him as usual, How are
you, Col.?" He Immediately sprang
at US with almost youthful agility,
and with a loud clapping of his
hands, exclaimed at the top of his
voice, Young again, sir-a new
man-PVe been to see Miller" 1t
was plain to be seen that the Col.
had renewed his health at some
fountain. 1t seems that Miller had
merely rubbed him down" few
times with his hands. He expert
enced relief in a few moments, or at
farthest an hour or two. Mrs. Bos
sang had been threatened with con
sumption, as she supposed, had
been complaining of great pain in
the chest. A few of Mlller's ma
nipulations revived her entirely,
and it, seems permanently. Col.
Bosang then called up Mr.. Isaac
Norris, wno has been for years
much afflicted with a sore leg, and
with pains in his joints. He had
been under Miller's manipulations
and returned a new man.
Mr.. John Crowell, living on Main
St., had little daughter most terrl=
bly, afflicted with rheumatism, be
ing unable to walk or wear shoes.
A few days ago she had to be car
ried TO bed in the hack and in the
most careful manner taken to Mill
er. She has certainly returned ap
parently cured. She came home
able TO walk, wear shoes, and walks
where she chooses. A Mr.. Massey,
suffering, as supposed, with cancer,
has come away from Miller much
relieved, and getting well.
Old Mr.. George Stoffle, who has
for months scarcely been able to
move, even with the aid of two
crutches, has boon wholly relieved
by Miller, Mrs. Jones, a reliable
old lady of this town, after terrible
afflictlon from rheumatism visited
Miller, and has come home relieved.
At the time we gathered this infor
nation, Esq. Geo. Fl. Devault had
gotten home cured, and several car
riage loads are now on their pill
grimage to McMullen's Mills,
among the number two or three of
the Messrs. Curtis, and Mr.. David
j Wilson.
We asked Col. Bosang how he
could account for such power, as
he claims and believes Miller to
possess, unless it be miraculous.
He replied he did not know. But
like the blind young man whom
Christ had restored TO sight, he and
Norris only knew they had been
cured.
Miller is a poor man, and makes
no charge, merely accepting such
small sums as these persons choose
to give him He is aged some so
yea s, and makes no pretentions to
supernatural powers.

THE FOUR CALLS.

The Spirit came in childhood,
And pleaded, "Let me in;"
But ahl The door was bolted,
By thoughtlessness in sin.
The child said, al am too young yet
There's. time enough; to day
l cannot open" Sadly
The Spirit went his wsyl
Again he came, and pleaded,
In youths bright happy hour;
He called, but heard no answer;
For, lured by Satan's power,
The youth lay dreaming idly,
And saying, "Not to-day;"
Not till l've tried earth's pleasures,n
Again he turned away!
Again he came in mercy,
In manhood's vigorous prime;
But still he found no welcome;
The mel chant had no time"
No time for true repentance;
No time to think and pray;
And so, repulsed and saddened,
The Spirit turned away!
Once more he called and waited,
The man was old and ill
He scarcely heard the whisper;
His heart was cold and chill.
$50; leave me; when need thee,
I'll call for thee" he cried;
Then, sinking on his pillow,
Without hope he died!

Last year the people of the Uni
ted States paid a tax OF $1,000 tC
the Federal Government and a tax
of 100000 to ring on the bread
they ate. This is one OF the results
of the protective tariff system now
in force in this country. How this
tax is paid was thus explained in
New York recently "Cream of tar
tar, which is universally used as a
baking powder, pays a tax of forty
six and three-quarters per cent.
Argol, the crude article from which
it is Obtained, IS the sediment of in
crustation which is found in wine
casks after the wine has stood some
time. 1t is imported from France
and some parts of Germany. A
popularity of the soil there imparts
some quality to the grapes which
produces the argols. American
wines do not yield the product.
There are only five or six establish
ments in this country which import
the crude argols-on which there is
a duty-boil and refine them, and
put them on the market as cream of
tartar. The tax on the latter now
comes in, enrIches the five or six
manufacturers, who do not employ,
all told, more than 100 men, and
taxes the people who must use
cream of tartar as a baking powder
for their bread to the amount of
over 100000" That is a fair
sample of protection to American
industry" Here are a few firms,
employing 100 men, protected" by
taxing bread eaters over $600,00 a
year, while the government gets
little revenue OF $1,000. The peo
pie, by the removal of the quinine
tax, are saved paying a tribute of
$650,000 to the quinine manufac
Jurers. They must now move to
have the tax taken from the bread
they eat, which is a monstrous op
preston. Congress should proceed
this winter to relieve the American
people of all manifold expressions
of the tariff. The tariff must be re-
duced. i Courier Journal.

MISSOURI AND EMIGRATION.-The public are
treated to homilies, in the Democratic papers,
upon the honesty, equality, and general beuef-
cence Of Democratic principles and Democratic
rule. Such rule they have, in all its force, in
the State of Missouri. The soil and climate of
that State are essentially the same as Kansas
and Nebraska. A tide of emigration is pour-
ing through the State of Missouri in cons tant
stream. Thousands pass daily, yet scarcely one
cut Of the thousands stops in Missouri. The
people refuse to see the advantage Of the bless
ings of Democratic rule, but prefer the Republi-
can States of Kansas and Nebraska. Now they
are organizing Emigration Societies in Missouri,
TO solicit emigration to that State. Election re-
turns are the best emigration inducement that
can be offered. Let Missouri roll up heavy
Republican majority, showing that she repud-
ates the benefcent rule of the party that rules
by fraud, violence, and igno.ance-that destroys
the public schools, permits outlawry to escape
punishment, and virtually endorses robbery Of
the public treasury-and q tide Of emigration
will set into that State, that will astonish the
Oldest inhabitants
