The Old liasliny Homestead.

A Murfreesboro, Term. correspondent
OF the Buffalo Courier, who has been
visiting the old Calling homestead, III
that vicinity. writes: Entering the
Doctors light carriage, We crossed the
river and passed into the dense pine and
cypress forests with which two-thirds Of
the section is covered. In drive Of five
miles We only passed one house, and the
road for nearly the entire distance pass
ing through virgin forests, the trees of
which, in many cases and sometimes for
long distances, met over our heads. The
country being flat and the road often
forming q straight line for a mile or
more, the view through these narrow ay-
enues, lined by dense forests, was very
striking and novel. As we approached
our destination We turned into a private
road and soon came in view Of the
Gatling homestead, which, aside from
three or four hundred acres OF clearing
Immediately around the dwelling, is
surrounded by heavy timbered forests,
extending many miles in either direc-
ton, broken only by an occasional small
plantation. The present dwelling is q
two-story frame building about l5x3O,
with one-story rear extension, painted
white. 1t is surrounded by beautiful,
well kept double yard, in which are a
great number and variety of fine trees,
among them straight-growing juniper,
the maple, cedar, pine, and elm. In the
side yard is the original Gatling mansion,
log structure about l2xl5, with mud
chimney, built, as all chimneys in the
South are, on the outside ut the gable
end. This house. which is now used as
kitchen, was built about the beginning
OF the present century, by Jordon Cat
ling, the father Of Richard, the inventor,
and it was in this small structure that
the latter was born aud raised"

"Onr Church has been organised only
fifty years, and yet behold it's wealth
and power! This is our year Of jubilee.
We look forward with perfect confidence
to the day when We will hold the reins
Of the United States Government. That
is our present temporal aim; after that
we expect to control this continent. We
do not care for the territorial officials
sent ont to govern us. They arc
nobodies here. We do not recognize
them. Nor 10 we fcar any practical
interference by Congress. To-day we
hold the balance Of political power in
Idaho; we rule in Utah absolutely; and
III a very short time We will hold the
balance of power in Arizona and Wyom.

to plant colonies in Washington Terri
tory. In the past six months we have
sent more than 3. ZOO OF our people down

for us a political power that tho dema-

will be accomplished for tho Church.
Then, in some great political crisis. the
