The WatChlnan
CLUBBING LIST.

To accommodate subscribers who desire
to obtain one or more periodicals through
one agency and at reduced rates. we will,
until further notice, receive subscriptions
for the WATCHMAN and any of the publica-
tions named below at the prices given in the
column headed With WArcHMAN." The
terms are cash in advance. The subscrip-
tion price of the WATcHMAN is $500 year
in advance, or $3.50 when not paid within
three months.
The premium business has been greatly
carded by publishers of country papers, who
feel that they cannot longer afford to "give
something for nothing 1T having proved,
in most instances, positive loss rather
than substantial gain to them. We will,
however, continue for the present our offer
of the WATCHMAN one year and set of
family scales for $500.
Any person sending us $500 for four
strictly neto subscribers will receive copy of
the WATcHMAN free for one year.
Some subscribers have urged us to require
payment in advance from all subscribers
and stop the papers when the time paid for
has expired, unless the subscriptions nave
been previously renewed If all subscribers,
or agreat majority of them, would cooperate
with the publisher in making the proposed
change, it could be easily accomplished
within the next two months. After the
rule of advance payment was once estab-
lished, it would prove much the best for
both subscribers and publisher, and save
much annoyance and trouble in the settle
ment of newspaper accounts. If subscrib-
ers who are now in arrears will pay up, and
all others will renew promptly at the ex-
piration of their present subscriptions, there
will be little difficulty in bringing about q
change from the present system. But unless
the great, majority are willing to do this, il
may not be practicable to make the change

His last Expedition.
Gordon returned to England in 1866 and
was appointed Commanding Royal Engi-
nser at Grayesend. BE held the position
until 1871, when he was sent to the Danube
as British Commission. He took up his resi-
dence at Galatz. He left Galatz in 1873 and
entered the service of the Khedive. He was
appointed to succeed Sir Samuel Baker as
Governor Geueral of the Soudan. The details
OF his administration are familiar to all news
paper readers. Upon his return to England
be was selected as private secretary to Lord
Ripon, who had Just been appointed Vite-
roy of India. He did not hold the position
long, and then went to China. His next
service was as commander of the colonial
forces at the Cape Of Good Hope-a posi-.
tion which he gave up because of the con-
yiction Of the Premier of the Cape Colony
that his continuance in Office would not be
conducive to public intesest." Gordon,
after his return from the Cape, went to Pal
estlne and settled outside Jerusalem. He
was recalled from there by the troubles in
Egypt, and sent on the mission to Khar-

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.
The Appropriation Bill Bearing This
Title
BEING VERY ROUGHLY HANDLED.
A Bad Precedent Being Established in the
Appropriation for Galveston
Rarbos.
DEFEAT FOR GENERAL eoFF.
Special 70 he Regisser.


WASHINGTON, D. c., February 5.-The
river and hsrbor appropriation bill is rais-
ing great deal of debate as was expected.
Every member who has failed to secure for
his own district some desired appropriation,
is hurting his anethmss at those provisions
advocated by other Congressman which
have been more fortunate. But the grants
made in the bill have been distributed with
50 much care over the whole territory Of
the United States without much regard for
the relative need of expenditure anywhere,
that the measure is likely to pass. There
is no particular part Of the bill
which looks like dead steal
except that which grants eight millions Of
dollars for the benefit of wharfage COM
pany at Galveston. The most hardened
lobbyist would hardly be willing to advo-
cate the idea that these appropriations
ought not to be for the public advantage.
But in Galveston the public can have no
use OF the harbor in any way unless it pays
such rates as are fixed BY the wharfage
company, and yet Congress proposes to
grant the amount above named TO improve
the harbor" at Galveston.
1t ought to be understood that when the
federal government gives its money to in
crease the facilities for international com.
merce it does so in order that those facili'
ties may be increased and not in order that
a private company chartered by the State
shall have An opportunity to charge higher
Wharfage fees. The fact that Capt. Esds is
TO take charge of the improvements if the
bill las ses, is the best possible guarantee
that The work will be we'll done. But this
Goes not and cannot excuse the evils
of the precedent thus established.
1t has become clear enough to every one
row. that the anti-dynsmite resolution OF
the Senate will never pass the lower House
The members of the latter body are too
much afraid of compromising themselves
with their Irish constituents to allow any
such action. Personally a vast ma ajority
ofthem would be glad to pass the resolu-
ton but politically they recognize the
impolicy Of such course.
The death of the Nicaragua treaty is re-
ceived very calmly by every one in Wash
ington. It's friends say that the good work
is only delayed by the action Of the Senate
and that II will go on with sufficient vigor
in the near future. They have no do1bt
that the United States will finally decide to
build canal on the main principle set
Earth in the reiecfed treaty.

A Great Religious Revival Stirring the

FAIRNoSr, February 5.-Fairmont is just
now undergoing q great religious revival.
The Methodist Protestant and Methodist
Episcopal churches have joined forces and
are attacking the devil in solid phalanx.
Services are held in the houses Of worship
of these two denominations week about and
great good is being accomplished. Large
crowds attend the meetings and the interest
has grown until almost every man, woman
and child in the community is infected With
the spirit of religious ardor. On Sunday
night last, ct the NJ. p. church, there was
standing room only" before the last bells
had rung, and scores Of people were turned
away from the church doors and went home
to hope in vain for some time to come when
they can get in the church. Last night the
number of mourners at the altar was
upwards Of thirty and still the good work
goes on. Ii seems that our town is 10 be
thoroughly evangelical and we hope 1t will
be so. We should rejoice if the spirit
should grow until it would close up our
numerous doggeries where poison Is sold
illegally; we should like to see it enter our
boys and young men who wander around
our streets, making night hideous with their
drunken carousals; indeed, we should re.
oics to see our town and community so
thoroughly pervaded with the essence Of
true religion as to make our days like Sun.
days and our nights safe and quiet. But
we DO not hope for such thorough results
and do not look for the Millennium before
March.
The Legislature.
We are watching with great interest the
action of the Legislature in regard to the
Normal Schools. Fairmont asks only a
nominal sum to support the best attended,
most popular and most useful institution Of
learniog in the State and if we do not get
the necessary appropriation Marion county
may | e expected to make vigorous kick
against lavish expenditures in any other di.
rection. The amount asked for the six
Norm Al Schools will be little more than halt
