Planters ought to have their sons taught the
mechanical arts instead of the learned pro"
fessions, thus saving the paying of big sala"

failed because of the inexperienced men

Some Southern men have already done this,

DEATH OF REV. w. B. PRESLEY.

We regret to learn of the death of Rev.
w. b. Presley, which occurred from heart
disease at his residence in Statesville, n. c.,
on Sunday last. Mr.. Presley was minis
ter of prominence in the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church, and pastor Of the
Statesville congregation. At the recent
meeting Of the Synod at Chester, he was
present, an active and Jealous member, ap-
parently in the enjoyment Of his usual
health. But such are the inscrutable ways
of Providence. For a wise purpose this
faithful servant in the Lords vineyard is
cut down in his prime, and in the midst of
an active life of usefulness. Mr.. Presley
was a native of this county, and brother
of Mr.. Ben. C. Presley, of Clay Hill.

Under the head Of interesting tele.
graphy, the San Francisco Exchange
referred some days ago to a wonderful
feat that took place between Boston
and Guaymas, over a circuit Of $500
miles. A still more wonderful feat
was performed between this city and
Valencia Bay, Ireland, a few years
ago. A continuous circuit was made
up betEeen San Francisco and Heart's
Content Cabout 4,5OO miles,, the ca
BILE landing on the American side. As
a very delicate instrument is used TO
telegraph through the cable, this cir
cult could not be used beyond the end
Of the cable; but a conversation was
held between the operator at the in
strument in San Francisco, and the
one at Hearts Content, and then re.
quest made TO see how soon a reply
could he had from Ireland. The mes.
sage sent from here was as follows:
"To operator, Valencia Bay-Ten
O'Clock here; what time is it with
your" The reply came almost instant.
ly as follows: six o'clock in the
morning, and the maids are milking
cows From the time the message
was started from the operator here,
until the reply was received, did not
exceed three minutes. The above ex.
traordinary feat took place under the
immediate direction Of Mr.. Jas. Gam.
bic, who vouches for the correctness
of the above. The distance TO Valen-
cia Bay and back makes about $4,000
miles. The difference in time between
San Francisco and London is about s
hours.

Lie as a Father

These are the sweetest and kindest
words, il seems to us which have ever
fallen from the lips Of God upon the
listening ears Of sinful and sorrowing
men. Even those passages in the
New Testament, which set forth Gods
love to man in the gift Of His son to
die for him, do not express nearly so
much as this. They are partial and
incomplete. They touch but a single
outflow Of that divine tenderness Of
which these words unseal the foun.
tain. They are kind with an infinite
goodness. They are tender with an
illimitable yearning. They are car
essing with an inefable sweetness.
They lay bare, to the eyes Of his
wretched children, the paternal heart
Of their divine Father. With more
Of balm than the mothers kiss on the
fevered brow of her suffering child,
they fall upon our sad and sullen and
doubling hearts, and melt them TO
penitepce and prayer. Like as a
father pitieth bis children, sothe Lord
pitieth them that fear Him; for He
knoweth our fame; He remembereth
that we are dust"
