.AC NJ. MARSH.
.worn to and subsorIbod before !

sworn to and subscribed before
LEVI IS. HART, Notary Public and ex-oficio
Justice Of the Peace, Chatham County,
Recorded July 20, 1874.
Isaac NJ, Marsh, it seems, has taken
the pains to file legal proof, according
to the laws of Georgia, that he was
once in "dOssession and the lawful
owner Of certain slaves, in number
sixteen, "when they were emancipated
and made free by the United States
Government" Why has he put him
self to that expense and pains? OF
course he never expects to get any pay
for slaves emancipated-so long as
there is q Republican President and Su-
preme Court. But if there should ever
! be Democratic President and Supreme
Court? Then the little bill OF Mr..
| Marsh, for compensation on account of
property" taken from him by act of
| the United States Government, would
undoubtedly be presented What would
a Democratic Court have to say about
| itP
Democratic lawyers have constantly
| claimed that the Constitutional Amend
ments adopted when the Southern
! States were in duress were not lawfully
or Constitutionally adopted. There
would be no difficulty in finding ten
Democratic jurists who would decide,
as Justices of the Supreme Court, that
emancipation without payment for
slaves set free was unconstitutional, and
that no amendment prohibiting pay
ment for slaves set free was ever law
fully adopted. A Democratic Congress
would then be asked to appropriate
money TO pay for slaves taken from Mr..
Marsh and others. How can Demo-
crat resist the claim? Mr. Marsh is
not alone in filing proof of his claim.
All over the South, other such claims
have been placed on record. The
Northern or loyal man, who tries to
search the records to ascertain how
many such claims there are, will find in
four-hfths of the counties of the South
local officials, "'elected by fraud, and
devoted to the Democratic party, who
will take care that there can be no true
transcript of the records made unit
after the Presidential election. If Mr..
Marsh can get pay, every other holder
of slaves at the time of emancipation
can get pay. There were about 1000,
+ 900 slaves, and the estimated value wa!

Extra Opening in a Cows Teat.

AN extra opening on one side of a
cows teat, at some distance from the
end, and discharging the milk in a
wrong direction, may be the only open
ing from one part of the gland, or il
may be but an artificial opening into
the common milk duct. II there is
portion Of the gland supplying the milk
to the regular opening at the end OF
the teat, and another and distinct pOr-
tion furnishing milk to escape by the
orifce in the side of the teat, and If
there is no internal communication be-
tween the two, the malformation will
be troublesome to remedy, and II may
be the best and most profitable course
to let it alone. IL, however, the milk
which escapes by the side opening in
the teat can also be made to flow out
of the opening in the end, all that is
wanted is to close the opening in the
side, and this can usually be accom-
plished without difficulty, One method
of accomplishing this would be to pare
or scrape the edges of the opening in
the side of the teat so as to leave 1t raw
all round, and bringing the edges close
ly together to cover them with layer
after layer of collodion, allowing each
layer to dry before applying the next.
After each milking it will usually be
needful to apply new layer of colo
dion to fix whatever may have been de-
tached or displaced. The same could
be accomplished by stitching the edges
of the wound carefully together, but in
this case the stitches are liable to drag
upon the skin during milking, and
thereby irritate and retard the healing
process Y. Tribune.

CHARLES READE A CONFER y

A correspondent of The Independent writes
from London an interesting account of the re-
cent conversion of Charles Reade, the famous
novelist. Care has been taken not to spread
the matter abroad, and no mention has been
made of 1t in the London papers, out of defer
ence to the wishes of Mr.. Reade and his friends.
who shrink from notoriety in relation to Chris
tan experience. The conversion occurred a few
months ago, and was induced by an unusual
circumstance, not untinged by romance From
early manhood the novelist, immersed in literary
pursuits, neglected the services of the Church of
England in which he had been trained by a
devoted mother, and fell into rationalistic opin-
ions. A fellow of Magdalen College, and there
fore bachelor, he had for many years rooms in
London in the house of Mrs. Seymour, between
whom and himself warm friendship existed.
She was a bright, educated woman, the chosen
critic of his literary work. Suddenly she died,
and Mr. Reade was plunged into deep sorrow.
He bitterly reproached himself for his influence
upon Mrs. Seymours opinions, saying, But for
my influence she might have been an eminent
saint and now, if she is not saved, am respon-
sible for it." Under this self-reproach Mr. Reade
d4hosV Sank OuC OF IL lnere grew upon MIN
concern for his own religious state. He went
to the parish church, but found nothing to salts
fly his spiritual wants At length his brother,
learning of his distress of mind, took him to hear
the Rev. Charles Graham, of the Shepherds
Bush Congregational church. On the next Sun
day the. two brothers were there again, and after
the service Mr.. Reade took the pastor into his
confidence and told him his troubles of heart
Pointed to the Bible and the Saviour, it was not
long before the great author found Christian
peace He has been since his conversion close
student of the Bible, and the whole bent of his
mind is toward attaining Christian knowledge
and doing Christian work. He recently accom-
panied Mr. Graham to Brighton, where the cler-
gyman went to hold special religious services.
The correspondent understands that Mr.. Reade
is thinking of devoting his strong and graphic
pen to delineation of Scripture characters and
events. AT the age of ffty-seven Mr.. Reade is
vigorous and well preserved and has in him vet
a power for good.

IN the Interior and the New York
Evangelist are very remarkable notices
of very dangerous book-Prof Win
chell's recent publication entitled 1.-THE
Pre-Adamites Prof Winchell was won
over few years ago to the side of the
Evolutionists, and now, in the attempt to
reconcile science and revelation, he has
written this work to prove he existence
of men before Adam. He argues that
this will not overturn our theology. We
should think that it would involve a
slight revision of the Confession of Faith,
and we should expect to see in notice
of the book in a Presby terian paper some
protest against the doctrine The critic
of the Evangelist protests, to say the
least, very mildly, if he protests at all.
On the contrary there is an elaborate de-
scription of the book, in which the author
is mentioned as a devout believer in
Revelation" and the work is represented
as very interesting.
The notice in the Interior refrains also
from endorsing the work, but there is not
one word of protest against it. And it is
described in terms calculated to encour-
age everybody to read it.
We have no idea that the Interior or
the Evangelist accepts the theory of the
Michigan professor, but our conception of
the function of religious newspaper is
that it shall not notice in pleasant way
formal attack on Christianity without
both dissenting from the theory of the
assailant and offering at the same time
some antidote to the poison which it ad-
vertises. Has neither the Interior nor
the Evangelist anything to say in refuta-
ton of the theory of Pre-Adamite men (of
whom the negroes are represented to be
the living descendants)? If they have,
we should think they would have used
their endeavors to smash up the book
whichthey were reviewing; if they have
not, we-think they are in very bad
way for holding the line which they were
appointed to defend-especially as thew
are high in command This sort of thing
won't do.
