RS~ THE NEW YEAR. 9sa
A Premium of One Dollar.

We are anxious to extend the circulation of
this paper, and with this object, we now offer
ONE DOLLAR in money for every new sub
scriber whose name shall be sent between this
and the LIST day of March. We hereby re-
quest every man, woman and child who reads
the CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN to become an
AGENT, and thus help to place it in every Pres
byterian family. We believe the best way to
obtain new subscribers is to give all an oppor-
tunity to see the paper, and we pay this premi-
UNI with the expectation of retaining such new
subscribers for many years.
The person procuring the new subscriber may,
if he prefers, give the benefit of this premium
to the subscriber, or any one may subscribe in
this way without the Intervention of the agent.
This proposition practically gives the paper
to new subscribers at So per annum tor the
first year. We shall make nothing at this fig
ure, and could not afford to publish at any such
price. Our sole object is to add new subscrib-
ers to our list, with the hope as we have said,
OF retaining them afterwards permanently on the
regular terms.

REHRM

Some month ago we published an ar
tlcle favoring certain reforms and changes
in the management of our general Church
business which we did not approve of,
and which in few lines we characterised
as in our opinion impracticable.
Thereupon worthy brother who
agreed with our correspondent in the
idea that our Church business is not
economically managed, sent us another
article, pressing the proposed changes
and reforms in very strong language.
This second article we did not publish,
and our brother did not like it. He
writes us that we have treated him badly;
that it is unjust not to give him hear
ing But our brother forgets that the
only article published by us on the SUBJ
jeot was on his side of the question, and.
moreover, in postscript to his letter
complaining of his bad treatment, he saws
himself:
Mrs. - declares that if you fellows don't
walk straight and keep in orthodox paths and
cease absorbing my time, that she will be con-
strained to write an open letter to some of Won.
for The latch IS off the door, the pigs are in the
garden, and the general condition Of domestic al
fairs reveals an Imperative demand for Reform
IN this household as IN the Church." Our italicsJ
Now we condemn our brother out Of
his own mouth if the latch is off his own
door and the pigs are in his garden, and
the general condition of things at home
in very bad way, it stands to reason
that he would not be safe reformer in
the matter Of managing the business of
the Church.

influence. And yet, strange to say
terra-cotta vessel as found in the Tro.
jan bed, at the depth of 80 feet, having
the shape of hippopotamus, and, i'm
plying, as we believe, the existence Of
this animal in Asia Minor at that time.
And this coupled with the now well-as-
certained fact that the Assyrian and
Egyptian kings hunted the elephant ON
the banks of the Tigris, throws light on
the Behen'oth of the book of Job.
Another curious discovery at Troy is
Implements of the beautiful mineral
called jade, so venerated in all parts of
the world by the ancient nations. This
material is not found in Europe as ma
tive rock, but occurs only in Turkestan,
Siberia, and the Kuenlun Mountains.
But as at Troy, implements of jade have
been found in the Swiss lake-dwellings
and In the stone-graves and caves of Eu-
rope-showing at the very dawn of the
human period in Europe relations with
Central Asia.
DIR. Schliemann has conducted these
immense excavations at his own expense,
and has presented all the antiquities re-
covered TO the German emperor.
We ought to state that this beautiful
work which we have been considering is
from the press of the Harpers.

A COOP SUGGEsTIoN-A correspon-
dent sending US some subscribers 1--WE
have got great many subscribers lately)
remarks:
shall continue to make the effort to add to
your subscribers and 1 am sure that many fam
lilies in our churches in the Valley would take
yonr valuable paper, if pastors and elders would
canvass their congregations in behalf of the
paper.
Allow me to suggest that in your next issue
you appeal to the pastors and elders of our
Church in Virginia, to send you each, one sub
scr'6er before the close of the month. This they
could do, and what list of subscribers it would
add to the paper"

: STEAMBoAT IN THE MOUNTAINS
We had the pleasure of meeting at the
Merchants Hotel, on Monday, Col. S.
V. Pickens, of Hendersonville, N. c.,
the President of the French Bread
Steamboat Company. He has been to
Norfolk, Va, where, he informed US, he
has made arrangements to purchase the
machinery, for a boat, to be built on the
banks of the French Broad, which is to
be finished and launched by the first of
next July. He has engaged Mr.. John
L. Porter, of Portsmouth, Va, the bull
der of the ironclad "Merrimac," to super
intend the building of the boat, whose
skill and experiences well-known. The
boat is TO run on the French Broad river
from Brevard to a point opposite Hen
dersonville, distance of about twenty
six miles, and to have capacity to carry
100 passengers. A stage line is to be
run from the boat landing to and from
Hendersonville, distance of five miles.
connecting with the Asherille and Spar.
tanburg railroad. Congress appropriated
$4,000 some time ago to clean out the
channel and make it navigable,iwhich
work has been done. When the boat is
completed in July next Mountain tour
lists will have the pleasure of boat ride
on the French Broad, the upper end of
which will be the highest boat line in
America, being over 2, 200 feet above the
level of the sea, where the climate will
be. equal to that of the Northern Lakes
and the scenery of unsurpassing lowell
ness.-Spartanburg Herald.

Private Dalzell writes of Boston
Corbett's troubles after killing Wilkes
Booth: "From that hour he never knew
moments peace. The pistol with
which he killed Booth was stolen from
him that night, but the holster was left,
and he had It at my house, From the
moment Corbett killed Booth he was
doomed man. One disaster followed an
other. He was treated with scorn by his
officers and neglect by the Government,
and his share Of the reward he:iost. 1t
never did him any good. He was
stopped on the road by masked men, q
pistol put to his breast and he was re-
quired to dismount and surrender bis
hard-earned money the very day he re.
ceived it. He was stripped of his CLOTH
ing and every dollar he had. This was
on his way 10 Washington. The officers
there, wild with rage at him for depriy-
ing them of the pomp and circumstance
of leading Booth in captive alive, and
parading him through a long public trial,
of which they should be central figures,
felt like prosecuting him further; but
better counsels prevailed, and he was re-
leased and permitted to retire from the
service branded and disyraced."
