Our Daughters


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Will you allow a mother to occupy a short space in your colums in expressing a griev- ance which concerns not only herself, but many mothers in our community :?
 Why must the time of our daughters be so constantly taxed for these church festivals tableaux and carnivals For weeks, even months, in succession during the past winter, have they succeeded each other, calling again and again for the time and attention of our daughters, encroaching not only on their school duties, but requiring late hours, thus exhausting the vigor of mind and body nec- essary for study.
 Cannot some other method be devised for the support of our churches ?
 read lately that some prominent actors have yearly income of $1OO, OOO. By ab- senting ourselves from the opera and theatre, can we not divert few of these dollars into the treasury of the church, where they seem to be so much needed ?
 Or, if it is true that these entertainments are essential to the spiritual growth and Chris. tian fellowship of our church members, we do hope that in future they will not allure our schoolgirls from their legitimate work, but use those young ladies whose education" is finished" and who are sitting with hands folded waiting for the next sensation.
 l ask the serious attention of mothers-for the consent of one sensible mother makes the frmness of others seem like obstinacy-to the question, Is this the sort of education we wish for our daughters ONE OF THEM.

NIT. Rurbank'S Lectures.

To the Editor o5 the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 On last Sunday MT. Burbank, of Philadel- phia, delivered two lectures to large audiences of attentive and intelligent listeners. His morning subject was ''Living Souls," and his evening subject, the Distinction between Soul and Body" He stated that the original expressions for the phrase 'iving sour' oo- cured in the Scriptures fourteen times twelve times in the Old Testament and twice in the New Testament. The following texts were cited: Gen. i, 20, 21, 24 30; Gen. it., 7. 19; Gen. ix., 10, 12, 15, 16; Lev. xii, 10, 46; Cor. xv., 45; and Rev. xvi, 3. He called the attention of his audience to the significant fact that in twelve of these four teen instances brute beings alone are desig- mated. He called tho attention of his hear CTS to another interesting fact, viz. that in the Hebrew the opposite expression for ''liv- ing soul" occurs seven times. The following texts were quoted: Lev. xxi, Il Mum. vi, 6; Mum. ix., 6, z, 10; Mum. xix, IS; and flag. ii., 13. In the authorized version of the Scriptures we find the term body in the seven texts given as rendering for the origi- nal word which is commonly translated soul" The Hebrew word is derived from Q verb which signifies to breathe hence any crea- ture that lives by breathing is called by the term which in our translation is rendered ''soul"
 As all creatures live by breathing the orig inal for ''soul" is used in 8 second sense, as of life. Whenever the term 'fsouP' is mentioned as something distinct from the body, life is meant. In this second sense it is used alike with reference to man and the lower order of animated beings. The following were among the ref erences given: Gen. i. 20; Job xii. 10; Prov xii. 10; Rev. viii. 9; Gen. xxxv. IS; Matt. xvi. 25, 26; Matt. vi. 25; and Matt. x. 2S. Concerning the last reference the lectur CT said that the Saviour there taught his dis ciples that men have the power to kill our bodies, but they cannot kill our life hence if one loses his life for Christ's sake he will find it again. Tho disciples were taught to fear God, who is able to destroy both body and life. When God destroys the life of an indi- vidual he cannot live again.

A Hindoo Hercules.
The Wonderful Athletic Feats of Raba-
 ice Tulsiram.

ice Tulsiram.
 An entertainment of a novel character was given on March at the house of Mir. Morar jee Goculdas at Bombay, who invited large number of guests to witness some extraordi- nary feats of strength on the part of the cele- brated Deccan athlete, Babajee Tulsiram The company, which included many of the leading inhabitants of the city, sat in @ semicircle, at either point of which were placed several pret- ty little native boys arranged in brilliant and costly apparel. The picturesque dresses of the native ladies who were present. the white robes of the Parsee gentlemen and the gay colors of Hindoo attire had remarkably fine effect when seen in conjunction with the beautiful surroundings. After some prelimi- naries in the way of handing round for in- spection the materials with which he intended to perform, and having satisfied the company that there was no deception, the athlete, tall, soldierly man, some twenty-seven years of age and with magnificent development of muscle, proceeded to crush 8 number of cow ries between the palms of his hands. He completely ground them to powder in this manner, uttering during the process sharp, shrill cries, which were probably intended to express the magnitude of his exertions. Then the performer placed a cocoanut upon the head of boy and, with what appeared to be fearful blow, broke the nut in pieces and scattered the milk in all directions, without, strange to say, hurting the boy in any way. 1uo u0AG I0ht was DEG&kluR StOuL GULL TOp6 by simply pulling it. One of the most extra ordinary parts of the performance was the fol- lowing: The athlete placed betel leaf be- tween two of his fingers and then, by pressing. the fingers together. cut the leaf so as to throw the upper part several feet high. But the most startling feat was the breaking of a stone laid on his chest. The man lay down at full length on some chairs, and 8 huge stone, weighing four Bengal maunds, was placed on his chest, which was simply covered by thin tunic. Two men then struck the stone some tremendous blows with heavy hammers, and after one or two attempts, the block rolled of the mau's chest in two pieces. He next made several attempts to break CO., coanut with a handkerchief. His mode of procedure in this case was to roll the hand kerchief tightly in the shape of g ball, and then to throw the ball upon the nut. Pulling piece of sugar cane into two exactly at the joint, and bending thick iron plate, were among the other feats performed. The com- pany then went out on the balcony, where the athlete cut sugar cane so as to throw up piece thereof 15O feet high. It was done thus A man held out ascimitar with the edge downwards, and Babajee struck the cane up wards against the cage of the sword, the piece thus cut of flying great distance into the air. This brought the performance to close, and the performer was then presented with hand some shawl.

hibit found in the bank report of Hon.

 The report of the operations of the Gov ernment officers in the suppression of illicit distilling and manufacture of tobacco in the South was probably not exactly what the ma jority of the House expected when they asked for it. During the struggle to enforce the law in the Southern States, and especially in the Carolinas, 25 United States officers have been slain outright, and twice as many wounded, yet in only one instance have the murierers been convicted. On the other hand, 165 Government officers have been prosecuted in the State courts. The manner in which the work of the Treasury has been done is highly to it's credit. la the disturbed districts the receipts have been nearly doubled, and the number of lawful distilleries nearly trebled- facts which speak much for the energy, pa tience and skill of the department.

Peabody, Professor Moses Colt Tyler, John G. Whittier, Professor F. A. March, President Seelye, Professor W. G. Sumner, President Noah Porter, Professor Cyrus Northrup, Dr. H. ". Bellows and others. These are certain ly representative men, and their testimony in favor of the change is valuable.

Cadet Whittaker's case continues to attract attention at Washington, and there is said to be much dissatisfaction among the members of Congress with the management of it. The feeling in the Senate is taking shape in favor of making no appropriation for West Point until it becomes perfectly apparent that the colored cadet has been treated with fairness. The military academy bill is now in confer ence committee, and several Republican and Democratic Senators have agreed among theselves that nothing shall be done with it until the Whitaker case is fully understood by the Senate, and nothing then if it shall not clearly appear that just and honest course has been pursued throughout in this matter by the authorities of the academy.

Turkey is justified in feeling alarm at the changes made by the British election, for Beaconsfeld and Gladstone differ widely as to the policy to be pursued towards the Porte. The present premier believed in defending Turkey through thick and thin, in order to exclude Russia from that region, and to pre- serve British ascendancy in the Sultan's coun- sells and on his soil. Gladstone, on the other hand, wanted England to take the wind out of Russia's sails by adopting the reform pol icy. It would be more awkward for the British Government to adopt this line of con- duct now than three years ago but there is no likelihood that the Liberal leaders have changed their ideas on this subject, or that they will lack occasion for carrying those doc- trines into effect.

This time it is not a cloudless
rain 1 have to report, but rain
spout. The heaviest rain storm in
% years-nothing like it since the
May freshet; and strange, too, it was
confined to tne waters of Robin son,
other creeks doing little or no dam
age. The damage on Robinson
can not be estimated. None who
live on the creek from Cornersville
to Buford's but are damaged, many
fields losing half the rails around
them, and in many the soil is all
washed away. Goldman's mill was
considerably damaged; the levee,
which was 10 feet high and 20 feet
thick, was carried distance of 20
yards. Had it not been for so
much disaster the creek was a mag
nificent sight as it plunged madly
on and spread from hill TO hill,
sweeping everything before it. The
people on tie hills for once are
copgratulating themselves. A farm
err, Mr.. Ellsey, had rented the base
ball grounds at Lynnville and had
plowed it up to cultivate. The
