The Evolution Bible.

The preparation Of the new Bible,
which is to be inspired by sweet reason
ableness has not made much advance
yet. We lay before our readers the
improved version of the first chapter Of
the Book of Genesis: l. There never
was a beginning. The Eternal, without
US that maketh for righteousness, took
no notice whatever of anything. 9.
And Cosmos was homogeneous and I'M
differentiated, and somehow or another
evolution began and molecules appear
ed. 3. And molecule evolved protop-
lasm, and rhythmic thrills arose, and
then there was light. 4. And a spirit of
energy was developed and formed the
plastic cell whence arose the primordial
germ. 5. And the primordial germ
became protogene, and %protogene some
how shaped cocoon, then was the dawn
of life. 6. And the herb yielding seed
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its
own kind, whose seed is in itself, devel-
oped according to its own fancy. And
the Eernal, without US maketh for
righteousness, neither knew nor cared
anything about it. 7. The cattle after
his kind, the beast of the earth after his
klnd, and every creeping thing became
evolved by heterogeneous segregation
and concopitant dissipation of motion.
s. SO that by survival of the fttest there
evolved the simiads from the jelly fish,
and the simiads differentiated them
selves into the anthropomorphic prim-
ordial types. 9. And in due time one
lost his tail and became man. and be-
hold he was the most cunning of all
animals; and 10! the fast men killed the
slow men, and II vas ordained 10 be so
in every age. 10. And in process Of
time, by natural selection and survival
of the %fittest, Matthew Arnold, Herbert
Spencer aud Charles Darwin appeared,
and behold it was very good.-Lcndon
Fireman.

rope, who has patent for making rope

Samples have been tried at sea for several
years. He has large contract with the
navy department, and will soon make one
with the English service. Governor Vance
examined specimens and thought highly
of them. We mention the matter, because
if successful it will increase the demand for
cotton and tar. 4 single ship-hawser by
this process requires four bales of cotton
and ten barrels Of tar

Theological schools for the training Of her
ministry, if she will, but her first, highest,
plainest duty is the religious instruction of
men, and she leaves her proper place when
she goes beyond this. The education of her
citizens is the highest obligation Of the
State. and Of the State alone, and the State
should not only furnish it of good quality,
but free, and should make attendance on
her schools compulsory, up to a certain
stage of acquisition. If the exercise of the
right ofsuffrage were made dependent on
man ability to read and write, we believe
it would stimulate the cause of education
more than all the schools and colleges of the
State put together.
We are sorry indeed to learn that the
Governor of the State advocates policy SO
dangerous as the putting the education of
the people in the hands of the various sects
knocking at the door of the public treasury
for means to run their separate church
nurseries.
