THE PIOUS MIR. BARNES.

With Improvement and no end of
variety in almost everything else, it
seems not unreasonable that there
should be novelties in the style and
method of disseminating gospel
truth. There is every description
of fancy and preference IN this di-
rection. While it is not likely that
new measures will satisfy everybody,
it may be that some people are
reached in ways which others would
neglect or reject. Believing this, a
MIR. Barnes, of Kentucky, known as
the "Mountain Evangelist" has
started some new doctrines.
They are based on those of the
Presbyterians, with strong tenden-
cy to reject the old style rigidities of
Calvinism as far as regards the sal
vation of only an elect few. They
contain sprinkling ola good many
things not found in the ordinary
standards. lie does not hold the
doctrine of absolute sinlessnes on
earth, but believes that Christian
may be free from all sins except
petty stumbles from grace, and that
for these lie will be forgiven on ask
ing. He does not administer either
baptism or the Lords Supper, for
he says these are church ordinances,
and he does not keep a church. One
practice is his amounting with oil.
About this a great deal of stir has
been made. He did not enter on
this when he began his evangelical
work, but took it to less than two
years ago. 1t is based on a literal
Interpretation of the passage which
directs the elders to pray over a
sick person and annoint him with
oil. He claims that in order to
accomplish the desired healing of
bodily disease his own faith and that
of the invalid whom he anoints must
be complete and in harmony. A
sick person who comes from curiosi-
ty or at all doubling the efficacy of
the amounting need not expect to re-
ceive any benefit. He says he leaves
the result entirely to the Lord and
has no further responsibility about
it, being only the agent or medium.
1t is SAID he is genial sort of fellow
to talk to, and puts on no airs. He
is about six feet high, of swarthy
complexion, with black or almost
black hair and nearly black NOUS
tache. When talking he runs his
fingers nervously through his hair
and uses many vigorous gestures.
His accomplished daughter plays
the organ, leads in song, reads the
Scriptures and helps him generally
aud particularly in his work. He
proposes to travel and preach
the world.

SUSTAINING THE UNIVERSITY.

There is certainly vast amount
of misconception as to the intent of
the state in organizing university.
Even the Galveston NetcS has stated
in late editorial article that con-
test is being made in the senatorial
district, in which Austin is, as to
whether two millions acres of the
public domain shall be given TO the
university or to the public free
schools. There is no such issue.
The proposition before the last ses-
sion of the legislature was direct
one to save, in opening the reserva-
tons for the satisfaction of out
standing claims against the state for
lands, two millions of acres for the
diversity. Already the public free
Tools have been given half the do
hin, outside of what little was
Served, and while the last batch
of lands were going it was deemed
wise by the friends of popular edu-
cation to save something for the
university. Hence the two million
acres proposition was submitted to
the legislature, and had it not
been for land rings and corporate
influences it is very certain that this
measure would have been adopted
by the legislature, and the UNIVERSE
ty would have thus acquired COM
potency to make it in time one of
the greatest free institutions of the
world. But the measure was defeat
ed, and the beneficiaries are those
who organized opposition to it. The
result is that the remainder of the
public domain in the reserva-
tions Is being taken up by
the parties to the organization
which opposed the university reser-
walton and now, when the next Leg
islature meets, all the good lands
will have been taken, while only a
few worthless acres may be left, with
which to endow anything. The op-
position to this two million acres
proposition in the legislature
simply defeated aid to popular
education. The constitution pro-
vides for the university, as consti-
tutions have done since the republic
Of Texas was formed. The fathers
intended to make a great public free

lowed free school system in the
world. Every time the people have

kept this proposition holy, all the
time holding that free school sys-

Imperfect. So it has proven, aud so

In Vermont, Illinois, week before
last, occurred the death of Mrs. En-
ma Enochs, wife of Thomas b.
Enochs, who, up to a few weeks ago,
was q resident of this city, but re-
ceutly of Keokuk. The circum-
stances connected with the death
are strange indeed. On the twenty
sixth ultimo she gave birth TO a
child, but some months before the
birth of the child she had a PRESENT.
ment that she would not survive it.
and so firmly was this fixed upon
her mind that she made arrange
ments for her funeral, making her
choice of the minister to perform
the burial services, and asked that
some of her early companions should
sing. When the child was boru she
gave evidence of recovery. and
when the physician visited her he
found her laughing and joyous and
hopeful. lie left her, expecting that
she had passed the most critical Pc
riod. In about three hours after the
physician left her she cried out, and
her brother ran to her.
She clasped him around the neck.
told him she was dying, and in few
moments expired. On the same
morning of the day OF her death her
mother, who resided in Lewiston.
Illinois, some distance from Ver-
mont, arose early, and stated that
she felt that some calamity was i'm
pending. The family laughed at her,
and thought nothing of it; but be-
fore the day was done she re-
ceived telegram announcing her
daughters death. What is still more
strange, on the morning afterwa rd
several gentlemen relatives of the
deceased were talking together, all
ignorant of the death. Their num-
Der was joined by another gentle
man, who asked after her health and
that of her parents, and remarked
upon the fact that he was present at
the wedding ofAIr. and Mrs. Enochs,
but while they were talking the tele-
gram was received announcing her
death. Mr.. Enoch's many friends
will sympathize with him III this sad,
singular bereavement.
