The NLaRf DaV.1i

From the Portland Press of Monday.I
 For some time past an item has been going the rounds of the press-more particularly in Canada and the West-that June 19 at 5 a. m the end of the world would come. In many cases it was stated that this the date fixed by the Adyentists for the second coming of Christ, when the righteous would ascend into heaven. It had also been rumored that our Advent brethren in this city were preparing for the event. At the Second Advent meeting in Union Hall no reference was made to the subject, but some of the members of the congregation, after the service, were talking about the mor One of the leading Adventists said there was no belief on the part of the de- nomination that any date had been fixed for the second coming of our Lord. The Bible had especially stated that no man should know the date or hour of his coming, and that all must be prepared for the event at any time. When the deluge destroyed the earth there was merry making and feasting just preceding the awful event, and the world was taken unawares. This was a lesson for the present generation Another member, Brother Rounds, stated that he had carefully prepared a chronolog- ical table by which he had mathematically demonstrated that the time for the second coming of Christ and the destruction of the world would be at the date of the autumnal equinox, or about the 23d of September. Still another member of this church said that prophecy had fixed the time as falling before the year 1884, but without settling on any particular day. None of the members had any belief or had been impressed with the belief that yesterday was especially selected for the as- tension There were, however, as well as could be gathered, several people who do not belong to this society. who had settled conviction for several days past that yester- day would see them translated. One man, who drives a bake cart, made all his prepara- tions, and on, Saturday went about and bade all his friends adieu. He seemed very happy in his belief, and must have been sadly dis appointed A lady who lives on Munjoy Hill, it WAS reported, who owned a small house and had a little property of her own, consisting of some $500, made deed of the property to some friends, but held the deed over Sunday before having it registered so as to make sure that she should not need it any more. The question might arise what good the property would do the lady's friends if the world did come to an end. In Canadian and western towns and vii. lages many people have had such firm belief in the destruction of the world on the 18th of June that farmers refused to plant crops. Perhaps, considering the backwardness of the season, it was just as well.

 The Charleston (South Carolina) Ne,cs and
 Courier has been complaining because some northern newspapers have contrasted it's zeal for fair play after election with it's advocacy of any means to win before election. How just it's complaint is is Illustrated by the Charleston Mercury, which says: 'In this morning. issue the Neaos and Courier is mad because some of the newspapers in the north have been twitting it with demanding honest elections when elections are over, but advocating fraud whenever elections are to be held. Can anything be more hypocritical than the pretense of the Nesos and Courier that Such a charge is false ? Does not everybody in South Carolina know that the tissue ballots used in the election of 1878 were conceived by F. w. Dawson and printed in the office of the Neos and COU- rser?s If there is any doubt in the mind of any one about those tissue tickets being printed by the NeWs aud Courier, let the l doubter refer to the testimony of MT. w. L. | Daggett before the Teller committee. That the Nelcs a1ad Courier still approves of the 1 use of tissue tickets notwithstanding its en- | deavors to convince the northern press of its | change of heart, we need only mention the | with Mir. Dibble's name thereon, were print ed at the office of the Neaos and Courier for 1 use at the recent election, in case any attempt | had been made to elect MT. Mackey or any | one else but the ring candidate. In addition to the printing of tissue tickets, every Dem ocrat in Charleston remembers the paste- board ballots printed by the Neaos and Coal- rier for the purpose of stufing the ballot | boxes in the interest of Courtenay at the last | election. There is no doubt that a majority of the Democrats in South Caro-
 ina favor free and fair elections, but that state of feeling has been brought about not by the Neacs and Courier, but by revulsion against the methods advocated by that pa- per-. It will be interesting to see what the | Ne,cs aud Courier will have to say to this.

Certain features of the new Tay bridge that shall supplant the one which went down with such frightful loss of life appear to have been exactly fixed upon. It's total length will be 10000 feet, or about two miles, and calculations are made for double the wind pressure which the strongest gale will ever bring to bear upon the bolts. The wind pressure is placed at 21 pounds per square foot, and allowance is made for 56 pounds. Each pier will be entirely independent of an old one, and will be placed in opposite position.

SuFerines of a Pioneer Editor.

During the pioneer days of Ionia
Mich, the town had an editor who was
patient and long suffering. Some OF
the members of church got him to
give $50 toward securing a minister
then they wanted their religious notices
inserted free then he was asked for S25
toward helping to build parsonage,
and he finally found he was giving the
church more than he gave his family
He nevertheless "hung on" for time
longer, until one evening he went TO
prayer-meeting and was asked to leave
his office for week and 90 help clear
the grounds for a csmp-meeting. That
was the last straw, and he rose up and
said Fna
tGentlemen, I'd like to go to heaven
with you. know You all. You are
clever and Cbliging, and kind and ten
der, and it would be nice for US all, as q
congregation, together; but I've con-
cluded to leave and dodge in alongside
of somebody from Detroit, Lapeer or
Grand Rapids. It's money, money, all
the time, and I've given to this church
until, ii my wife should die, she'd have
to go to heaven barefoOted."
The congregation seemed to realize
that free horse was being ridden TO
death. They let up on the editor and
pacified him. He even had a special
tent assigned him at the csmp-meeting,
and all was we'll.

The Virtues and Devotion of Amer.
lean Wives.

1t may we'll be souyce OF national
pride that all which is Justly said of the
self-sacrifice and of the thoughtful and
tender devotion of Mrs. Garfield to her
husband during his long and distressing
illness might be said with equal justice
of almost every American wife under
similar circumstances. Indeed, noth-
ing less is expected of American wO-
men and though they attract little or
no attention, such instances of wifely
care and watchful affection are of con-
slant occurrence, in the palential houses
of the rich and in the humber dwell
ings OF the poor and lowly; so that when
Mrs. Garfield is praised, the high eulo-
gies pronounced upon her belong not to
her alone, but are tributes to the char
acter, the disinterestedness, and the IL
deity of American wives in ger eral.-
Indeed, so much Is the exercise of all
these womanly virtues looked upon as a
matter of course, that the public would
be greatly shocked at the manifestation
of any lack of them in a case where the
sufferings OF a husband had been so ter
rible and prolonged. Many a common
laborer, living from hand to mouth on
his daily earnings, possesses the price
less treasure of wife just as devoted
while it is fortunate that the conspicu-
Gus example of a presidents wife has
brought these common but high quali-
ties of American women so prominently
before the world.

THE GREAT FoREPAuaH SHOW.
Thousands Turned Away, Unable to
Get Into the Tents.

at a recent exhibition of the Great
Forepaugh show in Cleveland, the
Leader commented as follows:
"Did you ever see so mary visitors
come TO town to a show before ?' was a
question heard on all sides yesterday,
and it always elected an emphatic NO,
neverp The rural people seemed TO re-
spOnd to the behests of the advertise
ments to 'cOme early and see the process
sion,' for at 8 O'Clock in the morning
the streets were lined with newly-ar-
rived amusement-seekerS,w who mingled
with the denizens and swelled the
throngs to surging crowds. They
came on the railroads, in wagons, and
from the suburbs in street cars. The
streets contiguous to the shOw-grounds
we're crowded with vehicles from neigh
boring farms, and long before the hour
for the afternoon performance it be-
came a problem in the minds of many
how the vast numbers were to be ac-
commodated beneath the canvass. A
Snowman was asked what he thought
about It. sob, we have the largest can
vass OF any exhibition traveling--never
you fear.'' Nevertheless, there was
room for but little over halt of those
VINO essayed to enter, and long before
the performance began thousands of
people either took their money back at
the wagon or kept their tickets for fu-
ture use. How many people witnessed
the afternoon show it is hard TO esti-
mate, probably seven or eight thousand,
though many attaches put the mum Der
still higher. At all events, the enor-
nous canvass was literally packed, from
the topmost seat to the circus ring.
The side-shows were also li0erallF pat
ronized; there was constantly large
crowd outside, and the sidewalks and
street cars were filled with people GO
ing home to wait another chance.
'In the evening the same scene, as
far as attendance was concerned, was
repeated. The tents began to fill up by
six O'Clock, and at half past seven the
doors were closed on account of the inn
possibility OF packing away any more
spectators. Some little excitement pre-
vailed during the seating of the i'm
mense concourse, but the audience be-
came quiet and altogether peaceful
upon few words from the mansge-
ment requesting them to be seated.
"Every act, every animal, every fea-
ture advertised, was exhibited; and if
there is a larger or better tented exhibit
tion travelling than the veteran Fore
paugh's, we can only say it has not
pitched its tents in Cleveland"
