A HORSE BITES A cows TONGUE
OFF.-The Marion Patriot and Herald,
of Smythe county, says that on Sunday
morning a week, "Mr. M. G.. Wright
discovered blood running from the
mouth of his COW, and upon an-exami-
nation he found that about two inches
of her tongue had been cut off. He was
unable to account for the accident until
Monday morning, at which time, when
cleaning out the horse trough that stands
in stall adjoiningsthe one occupied by
the COW, he found the missing piece of
tongue in the trough. The cow had
evidently been reaching through for a
part of the horses food. and while so
doing the horse had bit her tongue off,"

pounds each, and the pond is full Of them.
The pond was stocked about three years ago.
The carp is q valuable fish, and our county

,"Restitution Of all Things"
A PAMPHLET BY PROF. TALBOT B
COLEMAN.

This work is from the pen of an Ed
er in the First Presbyterian church.
Professor Talbot B. Coleman, who has
politely supplied US with copy, and
expresses the authors disbelief in the
hitherto subscribed to doctrine of all
Elders in the Presbyterian Church that
Christ died for the elect only. Profess
sor Coleman takes in this treatise the
distinct ground that Christ died not
only for the elect, but for all men, or, in
other words, that as all mankind were
represented by and fell in Adam under
covenant of works, SO all mankind were
represented by and will be restored to
| life by the death and sacrifice of Jesus
Christ, in the covenant of grace. He
admits that our Savior's death pur-
chased a peculiar and higher state of
glory for those denominated in the
Bible the "elect,n but at the same time
purchased q remission of sins for the
whole human race, and that all those
who do not come under the head of the
elect will be restored in an intermediate
state of the soul between death and the
resurrection, to state Of moral, physi-
cal, and intellectual purity and perfec-
ton, as was the case with our first par.
ents before the fall. That, in this inter-
mediate state, they will have an oppor-
tunity to stand or fall on their own obe-
dience or disobedience. With their
former experience of this world before
them, he believes very few will disobey,
and that, therefore, almost all mankind
will be restored. If any should refuse
obedience in this intermediate state, he
does not believe they will be endlessly
punished, but that they will simply be
blotted out of existence with the devil
and his angels. When these evil spirits
are thus annihilated, all the rest of man
kind, those who have continued obedi-
emit in the probationary state of their
restoration, will be then confirmed in
their obedience and enter upon an end
less life of happiness. Professor Cole
man denies that the doctrine of endless
punishment is taught in the Bible, ex-
cept in the sense of humiliation. But
he believes that in the intermediate
state to which we have referred, the
souls of those who die impenitent will
be punished for a time as their sins de-
serve; that is to say, will be punished
until they are restored to the state of in.
nocence. He quotes many passages
from the Old and New Testaments in
support of his positions; and entrenched
and fortified by them is in no fear of be.

Regulating Railroads.
THE TENNESSEE BILL.


The Railroad Bill recently passed by
the Legislature Of Tennessee has been
approved by Governor Bate. 1t exacts
that the main track of railway shall
be considered a public highway, that
compensation exacted for transportation
shall be reasonable and not discrimina-
tive, that damages equal to ten times
the amount "extorted" by railroads may
be awarded by juries in cognizance Of
the facts, that rates shall be published
and no rebates shall be made; finally,
that there shall be three commissioners
appointed by the Governor to see the
intent of the Legislature as expressed in
the bill carried into effect, revising
tariffs, hearing complaints, examining
railroad accounts, making reports and
the like. Tennessee is the twentynth1rd
State that has appointed railroad COM
missions.
It is Virginia's turn next to pass some
similar bill, and though the people all
over the State are crying for railroad re-
form and regulation, yet 80 long as the
average legislator has his pockets filled
with railroad passes, and in other ways
has made himself subservient to the
wishes and dictation of the railroad
monopolists, the result will be pretty
much the same as was the verdict of the
jury in the hog.stealing case where nine
of the jurors and the prosecuting attor-
ney had had some of the stolen pork.
PROTECTING THE LABoRER. "-Go
into the iron mills of Pennsylvania, the
great factories of Massachusetts and
New Jersey-all loaded down by protec-
tion-and what do we see? We see
not merely a mass of gaunt men and
women huddled in the darkest dens Of
misery and squalor, but boys and girls,
from seven to nine years old on to
youthhood, shaving eight to ten hours
day for the scantiest means of subsis'
tence. Is it not because the head of the
family cannot earn enough to support
It? Is it not because the father and the
mother, by their united efforts, cannot
exc out a livelihood without recruiting
their energies with the toll of the chill
dren ? Yet this is the proud retinue o.
prosperity and plenty, which protection
annually arrays, and for whose deal
sake it would tax the country from five
to eight hundred millions of bounty
And when these poor wretches, fol
whose security against the pauper labor
of Europe we are required to pour into
the pockets of their taskmasters per
petual subsidy, are driven to the wall
when they turn like hungry beasts upor
their pursuers and rebel-the troops art
called out to shoot them down, and thu
bill of expenses and particulars is coolly
sent to the rest of us to pay. This il
