| AV'uaJ 10 ouuuay--tne DAY upOI
which the thoughts of our readers--ou,
readers are all religious turn heavenward
And talking about religion and "heaven
ward" reminds us Of an interesting proph.
esy uttered by Mother Skipton, two
hundred years ago, to the effect that this
world is to come to an end next
year-the year 1881. Thirty years ago
our eyes have not been open upon this
world that long, but we know that It is a
fact for all that, that thirty years ago peo-
pie were made lunatics, and the tenants at
the asylums increased, by the vehement as
surances of pious lockers for wonders that,
In those days, the last trumpet would sound
its stern appeal along the skies that the
dead would rise from their awful sleep, and
that the living elect would mount beyond
the clouds and "meet the Lord III the air."
Neither the music, nor the performance it
was to usher in, have yet been heard or
seen, and the consequence is dissemination
at this day to swallow mere assertions,
however gravely they are made, or even
when uttered two hundred years ago. The
present temper of society tends to denial
rather than to assertion, to question rather
than to credit. 1t is doubtful whether Ho-
mer wrote his own poems, and stify de.
MED that Shakespeare wrote his own plays,
or that creation had any maker, or man
any other predecessor than monkey.
What is called scientific denial" is so
prevalent, that it is even beginning to attack
scientific facts as well as historical details. L
An exchange, a few days ago, informed
Is that Professor-whose name we have n
orgotten-of london, had delivered lee II
ure in that city, in which he denounced as
oily the belief that the earth is heavenly X
'ody revolving round the sun, and as an
outrage on common sense the notion that il
round globe. The speaker had facts to
etail in abundance in proof Of his posi-
ion. True, in spite Of his "fact," ships
tart from port and never turn round 10
etrace their journey, yet they go to the
anne port they started from, though they
pproach it from on opposite direction.
rue that this looks like demonstration be-
ause we know that if fly walks across
vel table it is not in the same place at
lie end of the trip that it started from.
mis- is all true, but the
blindness of the earth is G
ened in spite of it, simply because "the
IN" to-day is toward denial and doubt, as ID
was thirty years ago toward assertion :
I'd belief. We are no prophet, but believe
at IN time the assertive fashion will re- Il
We, and then not only will the world be rs
'und, but very probable there will be
cts brought forward as strsng as those of
e Professors In our minds eye, giving
proof that the moon, after all. is
abe of new cheese. There is certain +
TT OF opinion which generally calls itself
eief," and depends not upon evidence.
d Is regardless of demonstration, but
lich depends upon "what is all the go"
a given time, just as the ladies depend
on the same excellent authority Tor
owing what is 'the sweetest thing" to
ar as the fashion. But we have
nbled remarkably and at length in this
m, and here and now "put our foot 10
wn" upon any further remarks.

Large meetings were held in New York
March 2s, looking toward, the establishment OF
an American independent church. Addresses
were made by large number who were for
mery Roman Catholic priests. 1t was stated
that many priests were engaged ID the work,
and that Father Quinn. president Of the organ
ization, was daily in receipt Of letters from
priests who were preparing to leave the Romish
church, but were ANXIOUS to labor among the
poor people IN the cause of Christianity. Many
of these letters were read, and communication
were presented from Baptist, Methodist, and
Presbyterian conferences in Baltimore, Pha-
delphia, and New Jersey, indorsing the move
ment.

How THE ERRORS CREEP IN lady, who
recently published some verses on Autumn
in these columns, writes to ask, Who is re-
sponsible for the typographical errors in your
paper ~ Lean down here, while we whisper
in your ear q" - sh; nobody is. The eoltor
writes 30 plainly that even blind man can
spell out his words; the compositors are col
lege men who have edited papers OF their own,
and they set up the matter just as 1t is written,
and correct what mistakes the editor makes;
the proof reader is professor OF rhetoric and
philology in an Iowa college, and never made
mistake in his llfe, and he corrects what few
mistakes the compostors may make; the fore
man is Gottingen graduate, who has nothing
to do but TO see that the matter is perfect when
the forms go down. There isn't mistake in
our paper when the type reaches the press.
But we'll tell you, as a professional secret,
how the mistakes creep in. The pressman told
the manager, and the manager told US; it's the
Iuk-it's the ink. We pay out thousands and
thousands of dollars every year for good ink,
aud we can't get an article that won't fairly
measle the paper with typographical errors. -

The DIVINITY THAT DoTH HEDGE THE FRENCH
AND ENGLISH GIRLs.-Among certain Euro
pean cities the idea seems to be that II beau
wishes to win the affections Of an American
girl he has only to go up to her and ask her to
20 off on matrimonial lark, while, il he would
worshipfully marry a French or an English
girl, he must go through 80 degrees Of social
Missionary, take a course in an academy OF social
mathematics, never see even aphotograph OK
the object Of his affections, or put her favorlte
dog on the head but every spring, for num-
Der OF prescribed years, present violets to the
aunt Of the rector OF the parish in which a
relative of the cousin OF the unseen darling
one lives. But French and English girls are
no, more than an inch or so taller than Amer
ican girls, after all.-New York Herald.

the interests OF any teacher in Storey
county. II he found any fault with any
teacher he would state It to the teacher
and admonish him to mend bis ways.
He would require no teacher ct present
actively employed to pass an examina-
ton. He advised every teacher to take
some educational journal.
An examination for applicants for
teachers certificates would be held
shortly, and by way Of warning he said
that they would be required to pass upon
questions on the theory and practice Of
teaching. In geography the questions
would be based more on Nevada, Call.
fornia and the Pacific coast than had
been heretofore customary. Questions
In grammar would also embrace Ian.
guags lessons. In conclusion, he would
ask that be might not be misintsrpreted.
He was panied to know that many con-
strue his action upon the halliday sys.
tenn and other ideas a. dictated by other
motives than those Of duty.
