u 3 New RELIGIOUS SECT has lately arisen in
THE south of which couple of Presbyterian
|clergymen named Groves and Goodnight are
the apostles. They are at present delivering
their message" in Texas, They interpret the
beasts Of prophecy to mean the states OF Eu'
rope and the United States, and that in 1880
Grant is to he reelected, who will invade and
subdue Europe, overthrow Romanism, and
finally meet n downfall-atter which the mil
lennium.
The good brother of the \. Y Erdmiaer
says 1.-THE subject upon which they have run
wild is one upon which men IN all ages have
seemed most easily to become fanatcal," and
that whenever men have attempted to fix def
nltely the time of Christ's second coming they
have invariably wrought confusion;" and that
when Christian men learn contcntedly To ac-
cept and obey the truth as it is revealed in the
Scriptures, and come into the patient waiting
for Christ then it will be a glad day for the
church.
But how are men to rest "contented" on 50
momentous Il subject when even as high au-
IN1ority as DR.. Clark, the great commentator,
figures out the millennium as likely to "hap'
pen" about the year 1896? 1t seems to us the
surest cure tor such fanatcsm will be found
in more liberal" Interpretation Of some OF
the later prophetic books. Were the apocalypse
of ST. John for instance, treated as Il mere
poem, directed exclusively, as he himself says
Ia. = III "a, A., 90 l.,
and vials of wrath, against pagan Rome, and
all that fustlan about the Pope being ANTI
Christ and Christian Rome "Babylon,' reject
ed as it was even by Luther and Erasmus, the
substructure Of a great deal of this modern
millenial rubbish would be swept away

can be proved by the use Of DR.. PierCe's Pleasant

little larger than mustard seeds, yet they are
a positive and efficient cathartic, acting gently
on the liver and stomach, aiding digestion, over

The prospects are encouraging for large crop
Of corn: the condition is above the average and
corn is growing rapidly: a good shower would
benefit The crop. The yield Of winter wheat
ranges from IS to % bushels per acre; the quail
ity is extra and the crop was saved in fine condi-
tien. Spring wheat is not plump or of the best
quality; the drouth and chinch bugs injured the
crop and reduced the yield. The stand Of oats
was not good; the drouth and chinch bugs in
jured the crop and reduced the yield fully one
third. Hay was saved in fine condition and is
Of the best quality; the yield per acre is not up

tion and are needing rain. Farm animals are
healthy and in thriving condition.

a pretty cock battle took place the other day
between the Ottawa "Dunghill" (Which killed
the famous Ramsey bird at Starved Rock year
or more ago. and a big black-rcd belonging to
the conosseurs of the Glass Works. The black
red had the advantage in matter of size, weigh
ing pound more and standing so much higher
as to appear twice as large as the Dungh hill"
The red also wore gals pa inches in length,
while his opponent was armed with steels but
IL inch in length. The battle consisted of Z
rounds; time, II minutes. The black red, to all
appearances, had the fight won before it began,
but the "Dunghill" slowly but surely "wore
him out" and, Notwithstanding he received
several bad cuts IN the head, at last laid the
back-rcd in the dust, and sitting on the dead
body chanted his song of "wctory." The
" Dunghil" has been in many battles, but never
before did he encounter such odds, and never
before did he show his blood in finer style.

Yesterday. From him | got an item that indi-
Gates that La Sale county is ahead on the
wheat question, The DeKalb county papers
have been quite jubilant over the tact that
that county had raised the most winter wheat
per acre. Mr. Bernard says he sowed II bags
of wheat covering about % acres last fall,
from which he thrcshed this year over 900
bushels of excellent wheat which he is quite
sure will weigh out 1000 bushels, or 45 bush
els per acre. Mr.. Bernard stated that Peter
Brandenburg, of Serena, threshcd 40 bushels

THE PHYSICAL PARADOX.

1t has been said that "the blood is the
source of life" 1t is as truly the source
of disease and death. No life, that is
to say, no healthy tissue can be genera
ted from impure blood, no organ of the
body can normally perform its functions
when supplied with impure blood. The
fluid that should carry life and health
to every part, carries only weakness and
disease. Blood is the source of life, only
when it is pure. If it has become dis
eased it must be cleansed by proper
medication, else every pulsation of the
human heart sends wave of disease
through the system. To cleanse the

Many people think that because early
peas are to be planted early late peas are
to be planted late. This is an error.
To have late peas early in the late season
they must be planted early. Peas are
hardy seed. They do not freeze easily.
Even if they have sprouted the frost only
moderately delays them. They should,
for early crops. be planted early. Choose
a dry place with warm exposure. Peas
are plants that depend upon one another
for mutual support. The plants help to
shade one another, and so do not burn
up. Do not forget that peas need hoe
ing, at least twice, the soil being brought
up close to the bases of the vines. Do
not be afraid to plant closely. Vines
wide apart struggle and go to dried up
straw. Do not choose too heavy soil.
When peas are staked the pods mature
better than if they are permitted to fall.
Besides. the vines get trampled upon
when they lie close to the ground. Sow
early peas for late fall crop.
