Lost Boy.

Considerable attention was attracted on
Market Square and portion of Gay street,
between and s o'clock last night, to a
woman who was plodding the street, bare
headed and uttering sorrowful and piteous
cries and prayers for her child. Her name,
as we learn, is Mrs. Cofman, living in
shieldstown, and her little boy, between 6
and years of age, had, it seems, left her
home about O'Clock, in her absence, and
she was endeavoring to catch up with him.
She appeared almost distracted over it, and
could not get any trace of the lost boy.
Finally, after thoroughly traversing the
town, and almost exhausting herself, she
found her boy, near her home.

Only Three Cents a Mile.

AS was announced in these columns some
weeks since. the E. T., " & G. Railroad
Company, beginning with to-day, adopts
the uniform passenger rate of three cents a
mile over its lines of railroads This is a
reduction of one cent, and applies to the
purchase of tickets only, the conductors
rate being four cents mile. The reduction
in rate affects all the lines of road in the
control of the Cole system, including the
Knoxville and Ohio and North Carolina di-
visions. This will no doubt be an immense
ly popular movement, and we expect to see
a perceptibls increase in travel on account
of it.
This arrangement does away entirely with
the round trip and thousand mile ticket
business, and no more of such tickets will
be sold

The Rev. Mr.. Jasper, of Richmond, is re-
ported in srticulo morris, but the glorious
theory of stat onsry, fiat earth, and re-
yolving sun, tor which he has lectured, will
not like for opponents. Another colored
preacher, johnson, of Hamilton, Canada,

Jasperian theory from holy writ, whose
proofs are rock.ribbed and mountain but.

speak of a number of angels "stsating at
the four corners Of the earth holding the
the wind that ii may not blow upon the
EARTH" and how could the earth be round if
1t had four corners! The reverend aslrono-
mer knew no better way out than to take
the word of God AS we find it. Further, this
gentleman said: Il have been content to
believe Just as MIR. Jasper believes
| think that he Was quite right when he made
tho assertion that he did. Ono proof that
he WAS right is the motion of the spots on
the sun and they will be seen to move. The
rate of their motion will determine the rate
of the SUMS motion and that of the moon.
Joshua commanded tho sun and the moon to
stand still in the heavsns. Would Joshua
hsve done that if they were already still ?
Again, when King Hezekiah had no cona-
dence in the Lord, is it not recorded in scrip
lures that the Lord moved the sun back ton
degrees? Then we see that the sun rises and
sets. The scriptures speak of from the ris-
ing of the sun to the going down of the
same That means actual motion. Study
up this subject, my brethren, and you will
find it very hard to get over the plain teach"
ings of the scriptures" Mr.. Jasper and Mr..
johnson are safe from the fate of Galileo
1T does move," they cry; but the cry is Or
