THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES 1884

liz MA LINES, 1854.
THE Times will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-more widely read and
tiercely criticized with a more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able ssOff of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made 1t successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candf-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
IL has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
tiOn as the leading journal of PhiladeIDhia if
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value TO a newspaper.
The value of a newspapers not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care. the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. The TINES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape and with
It q large variety of entertaining and instruc-
i've reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns
ana TO make II journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
Of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unSariSfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our Mountaineering people: they
are but shadows Oftheir former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness lint il
Is gone: and, with it. they are going too 1t
was not the fault OF the papers; it was the i'm
prOYement OF the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.
THE WEEKLY TINES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it before
them IN such generosity of paper and print as
would have astonished us all twenty yeors ago.
DAILY-Twelye cents a week fifty cents a
month. 50 Q year, two cents a copy.
SINDAI-Four cents a copy. s. year.

THE TEACHER.

We give to-day letter from a
teacher whose ideas are wholly mod
ern and who has kept himself fully
abreast of the times. But we fear
he has misunderstood our position
As a class the teachers of Florida
are incompetent, but we know per-
fectly that no blame can attach to
him. An educated man cannot at
ford to be a teacher in the public
school system, unless he has other
means. And one who has other
means will, we fear, never brave the
many discomforts and miseries Incl
dent to such life. Zeal has driven
the priest through the widest lands
to dwell among the rudest people,
but the teacher who braves as much
is not promised a golden crown in
the bright hereafter and has too of
ten only the sneers of his fellow-men
for the best work and most useful In
the sight of God. We honor the
teacher; he makes possible the
thoughts which separate us from the
animals, and he keeps glowing the
bright fire taken from Gods own al
tar. 1t is from no desire TO depre-
ciate the teacher or his work; it is
because we realize so keenly the
greater good that should flow from
so grand source. In the hands of
the teacher to-day lies the rough
cast of what the future of the Am
erican idea will be, to his plastic
ability shall we be indebted for our
position in the world throughout the
coming ages of history. No more
forever will a genius dominate a
world by the power of the sword or
| the grand combinations of military
genius. Bismarck is the last of the
old statesmen; the bloodiest war of
modern times freed the slave but
was powerless to change one jot OF
title of the written law. The tea
cher will shape the mind which is to
rule the future; his feeble throne
must, as yet, be upheld by the press
and public opinion, but soon its
foundations will be too solid to be
overturned and to him will bow
prince, potentate and peer. What
we learn is our only sure possession.
and to the giver of the true riches
which uphold morality and guide
the world. We are impatient OF
imperfection. Our correspondent is
right; when the money is ready the
teacher will come, and in his train
will follow countless blessings. We
are not unmindful of the fact that 3
people must pay for what it enjoys
but we know that the money cannot
be raised till we have a fair assess
ment, we cannot have a fair assess
ment till we have a Constitutional
Convention; and this the Democrat
ic party must give us.
Like our correspondent, we feel SC
deeply on this subject that we seen
to write hastily, but the same seec
is abroad in the land, and the fruit
will soon be ripe for use. In the
new day whose dawn is already
flushing the horizon, mind will rule
and the teacher, like the son o.
Themistocles, will be the power un
seen which controls the apparen
lords of men,

reports twelve thousand dollars, in add
ton to the eight thousand dollars msur
ance, already raised for the rebuilding
Of the Methodist church.
Some time ago Tom Wyatt was dis
missed from the Free Methodist church
of Almena, and Immediately organized g
separate branch of the church, and be
gan to preach communism, free-loveism
and other pernicious doctrines. He has
just been driven out of the community
Medicine Lodge Cresset: The Meth
odlst brethren seem to have been par
tlcularly fortunate in securing a pastor
for the coming year. Mr.. Gillian is as
eloquent and logical talker as we have
ever listened to in the Lodge, net even
excepting the great light of Methodism
IN Kansas, DIR. d. 2. Mitchell.
Larned Cbronoscope: The venerable
MIR. Seamans threw the first shovel OF
dirt on the foundation of the new Bap-
fist church at seven o'clock on Wedles-
building will be 34x50 feet, with a nine
foot basement, and will be pushed toward
completion as rapidly as possible.
Ell Dorado Republican Elder N. R.
Dale, of Woodford county, KY, preached
at the Christian church Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. A protracted meet
ing is being held in the church led by
Brother Flowers and others, and con-
siderable interest is being manifested.
Elder Dale contemplates removing to
Kansas.
Wellington Press: The members of
the Christian church met in the court
house and adopted plan for their new
church building. The contract for it's
erection will be let in few days, and
the work completed as early as possible.
They are not starting out to erect a gor-
geOus structure, but mean to cut their
coat according to their cloth, and put up
neat, tasty and cOmmodiOus house of
worship.
Mcpherson Freeman: The Swedish Luz
theran church was dedicrted Tuesday
evening by Rev. Hazelquist, D. D.. of
Rock Island, Illinois. Long before the
hour for services the church was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, and large
number were turned away. The princi-
pal sermon was preached by Rev. Le-
veau of Salina, in the English language,
after which Rev. Hazelquist delivered
and address in the Swedish language,
and dedicated the church to Almighty
God. After the dedicatory services Rev.
Hartsock made a few appropriate re-
marks and called on the people to help
hquidate the indebtedness of the church !;
subscription papers were circulated and
a collection was taken up. The church
was about 81 ,450 in debt, which was re-
duced some, but the principle part re-
mains unprovided for.

this county has the best prospects for g
large wheat and rye CROP than it has ever
had. The stand is very thick. green and
vigorous, and in some fields is fully
twelve inches high.
Wamego Reporter: A. Uhlrich sold to
Merrltt Bros 700 hundred bushels OF
WneaC that averaged sixty-two pounds to
the bushel. This was the best wheat sold
IN the Wamego market this season and
brought the highest price It pays to
raise good wheat which can be done with
a little extra care.
Louisville Republican: Wheat in this
community has never looked better than
1t does at present. Some of our farmers
are predicting that they will raise as
much, if not more, wheat per acre this
| year than any previous year. We can
see IN our county larger and more wheat
helds than any former years.
Abilene Gazette: The farmers report
! the wheat as being in excellent condi-
ton, the corn little backward on &C
| count of the cold weather; the peach,
pear, apple, cherry. apricot, plum and
| ounce trees in bloom with fair prospects
for good crop. Kansas is booming, and
Dickinson county is in the center.
Seneca Tribune: Farmers are getting
uneasy about the backward season. Some
blowing has been done, and some have
listed few acres. Listing seems to be
the popular method in this vicinity. The
farmers are ditching and draining their
fields. Fall wheat looks splendid and
considerable has been sown. These two
comprise all the small grain in this vi
cinity.
Kingman Citizen Republican: Wheat
and rye are heading out. Only thirty
days till harvest. How is that, Buckeyes,
Hoosiers, Suckers, Hawkeyes, and all
you fellows that are waiting for the frost
to get out of the ground to pillow? Come
west, come to Kansas, come to Kingman,
where grass is foot high, corn ready to
plow and waving wheat fields nearly
ready to garner.
Minneapolis Messenger: The wheat,
oats, and other things planted are look
ing finer than they ever did in this coun-
ty. A personal inspection of these cereals
leads us to believe that the biggest crop
ever known will be raised. Although the
Spring is backward and cool we have
reason to believe it will be big year for
Ottawa county. It is the exact counter
part of the Springs or rs and '78, and in
both those years we had enormous
crops.
Fl. Scott Monitor: A reporter learned
from prominent fruit man yesterday
that many of the orchards ofthe county
are being seriously injured by what is
known as the canker worm. When they
make their appearance they are very
numerous, and in some cases literally
strip the trees of their foliage. Owners
of orchards should examine their or
chards carefully, and if the slightest sign
of the existence of the pest is discovered
they can be killed by the use of London
purple discolored in water in the proper
ton of one and half pounds to forty
gallons of water, applied to the tree with
hand force-pump sprinkler, which can
be purchased at a cost Of $6.

Former Earthquakes in England.
New York Herald


England has been visited by earth
quakes several times, Of which the fol-
lowing have been recorded: One felt
throughout England in 1889; another felt
throughout the country in 1874, by which
Glastonbury was destroyed; the greatest
known in that country up to that time,
on November ii, 1918; slight shock in
London, February 8, 1749, and a severer
one on March 8; and the latest recorded,
a very slight one in the northwestern
part of England on November 8. 1852.
England, as will be seen from the above
instance, has had but little practical ex-
perience of earthquakes and they loom,
therefore, with all the terrors of the un-
known, added to those of the truly ter
rible. The mere word of mailman that
an earthquake was to be expected on a
given day was sufficient to send thou
sands of persons of wealth and Fashion
to spend the night of April 6, 1850 in
HYDE Park in tents and carriages. April
| 9TH passed, however, and the trembling
bivouackers returned home disappointed
of their earthquake. In country where
such disturbances are frequent few peo-
would think it worth while to be robbed
of a nights rest for such trif1e.
