A HOMILY.
For the Last Day of TIme-A Word
As to the Star OF Bethlehem.

Reader, do you know that this holy Sab
bath day is the day set apart by the cruel
adven.is,s, not for your advent upon an
other day of life, but exit therefr,m-in
other words for the advent OF chaos and
the end of time. II you have not thought
of il Just glance your eve over this article
as YOU grasp up the BAzoo before dressing
yourself and make up your mind to he
yourself away 10 the most convenient sane
tuary, aud if the end comes be
found al the last moment IN good
society. You will be none the worse
for it, even il the great Omnipotent should
conclude, as he did, when Bellz-bub re-
belled, that he is still capable OF running
his universe and refuse to abidicate In favor
if these people who have outgrown the
wisdom Of their creator. And If persdveo-
ture this more than likely state OF affairs
should come about and the bright glow OF
another western sunset warns you that an
other Sabbath day, the FIRST OF new year
is drawing to an eternal close, your con-
science will not be likely TO upbraid you
fer the manner In which you have
improved il. and IS you turn re-
fectively from the glosming re-
minder cast your eyes to
the eastern horizon and behold there
something that neither your father nor your
fathers fathers for generations back have
beheld.
THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
The veritsble star, which If scientists are
to be believed, was created for the the pur-
pose, and 1920 years ago, guided the loot
steps of the wise men of the east to the
lowly manger where lay the babe whose
advent and career so long ago brought to
you all the pleasures and opportunities Of
life in Christian civilization you now en-
Joy. And as you gaze remember that to
you as 10 Simeon it has beeu permitted TO
gaze upon the salvation of the Lord and il
you fail TO improve by il, the end OF the
world which is not far from your door,
whatever il may be to things ETHEREAL, will
catch you IS thief in the night and IN
prepared. This star was lsst visible In the
sixteenth century and astronomers say will
not again appear for 400 years. At the
present time it is visible from about Eve
o'clock until daylight. 1t can easily be dis
tinguished on account OF its brillisncy.

The Great West End BUS Com
pany.

Mr.. s. Child, manager of the West End
BUS company. Auckland, New ZealsRd,
states in the Daily Herald of that city, as
follows: We have much pleasure in bear
ing testimony to the efficacy of ST. Jacobs Oil
It's success has been particularly marked
in one case of Ismeness, that of q very
valuable horse suffering from severe snrain
OF the back sinews, so as to defy the usual
remedies. Other remedies having failed,
we were induced to try ST. Jacobs Oil and
after using it for a few days, the lameness,
which was almost chronic, entirely disap-
peared, and the horse has since stood con-
slant work. We have also used the Oil
mcst successfully for bruises. 1t is q RENE
dy that should be at hand in every stable.

FAY STILL A FAVORITE.
Rer Farewell Performance Wit
messed by a Large and Fash
ionable Audience.
AT THE MATINEE.

There was nice gathering at the matt
nee vest, rday TO see ia Belle COquette,"
Audrsn's last opera. 1t seems to improve
on acquaintance. The music is pretty
and iuneful and the libretto clean, SO that
the most fas,idious can safely witness il.
Miss Temple on was very charming in
the triple roles of "Lauretle," Lieutenant
Girardin" and Countess De Lignolle."
Her costumes won the admiration OF the
ladies. Harry Brown was very funny ss
"Griff.rdin." Miss Alice Vane was cor
daily welcomed upon her entrance as
"Prince Oliver" which role she sang and
acted In very happy manner. Miss West
was an excellent 'Rosits." Signor George
Olmi's "Count Hector" was gem vocally
and dramatically. The king" received
very artistic treatment at The h.nds of
Vim. Gnibrrson. The chorus was good.
AT NIGHT.
There was another large and fashionable
audience to see The production of LeCocq's
famous opera 'Girofe-GirofS." Ii is
slightly Frenchy and requires careful! hand
ling, which the comp any well accorded il.
Fay Templ,ton charm, d all by her SUI
perb rendition of the dual role OF
"Girche GirUha'' the twin sisters.
She s,ng the. Drinking Song" which
is the gem of the opera with wonderful
chic, and acted it simply beyond criticism.
Alice Oates 10 her prime, never did it as
we'll. She vas thrice encored for il. Her
costumes were as usual elegant.
Mr.. Harry Brown, who has made HIM
self favorite, as "Don Bolerdo," gave q
splendid comedy effort. The "Aurora" of
Alice Vsne was admirable both in singing
and acting. She was several times recalled
for her swift dance with "Mourzourk." Her
costumes were very rich snd becoming.
Lille West was a very good "Psauiia"
Sigpor George Olmi gave very artistic inn
personation of "Mourzourk," the Moor.
His cos,uming of the part showed much
care aud correctness. "Msrssquin" was
ably interpreted by George Traverner, who
possesses a tenor voice of great compass.
VIM. Guiberson was satisfsct' ~ Pedro"
The chorus YVES strong.
Mr.. Herman Perlet Is an excellent con-
ductor. During the engagement every opera
was finely staged ard costumed and TO Mr..
John Templeton, who superintends all the
productions is due the praise. The engage
ment, while hardly as successful, 6nan-
cislly, as the previous ones, WAS artistic
ally up to the company's u.ual high stand
ard of excellence. Fay Tenn pleton can al
ways get good audience in Sedalia, where
she has always increased the number of
her admirers with each succeeding visit.
Adios Fay May Fortune smile
Wherever you may go;
And may your witehing graces vile
Sad hearts from every woe.
May "Mascotte'' sweet "La Belle Coqaette,'r..
And wiDsOme Girofa
Still words OF admiration get
And paying houses draw.
AdIos Fay, once more, success,
Oncemore We haste to say
May time not make thy charms the less.
Adios Fay. Falr Fay!

OUR SUNDAY SERMON.

Reader, is there case of suffering hu.
manity in your vicinity that you can
reach and alleviate? Is there a widow or
are there orphans TO whom you can extend
helping hand? Is there an afflicted one
whose sorrow you can assusge? Are
there tears you can wipe away? Or, Is
there an aching heart from which you can
lift an aching burden? If you know any
case of sadness or grief which you can
alleviate, happy are you if you can speak
the word or do the deed which shall carry
blessing with it to some throbbirg human
heart.
Religion does not consist altogether In
going 10 church. That is all right and
proper. But the Great Teacher who
"went about doing good" set an example

beauties of the character of His true fol.
lowers, and those who fail 10 be
like Him in this respect what
ever they may do, are deficient
in one of the most important Offices which
marks the Christian. The word needs
tbeexempl6icstion of the doctrins taught by
the churches. One bright example which
clearly IT fleets the light of Christian love
had more potency than the most eloquent
sermon that ever fell from mortal lips.
We. by no means, disparase the influence
OF living ministry, but we are sure the
most powerful preaching is that which
speaks in acts, which comes with word to
the thursty, with loaf of bread to The
hungry. that visits the sick in their attic
tiou, and extends helping hand to the
fallen. We disparsge nothing that men do
sincerely. 1t is better for an individual to
be honest and religious one day In The
week than not to be religious and honest at
all. But solmn face in church pew is
all well enough, if the man feels
solmn, but has not 1.-THE of
the power which accompanies a smile at
the bedside of the sick, or the touch of the
tender hand which ''toothes the rugged brow
of pain" "Let your light shine" in the
face of suffering humsnity. Let your salt
have its SAVIOR in good deeds, and the world
will be the better for your living in il, and
men will "rise up and call you blessed"
This day is particularly appropriate to
the exercises of these heavenly grsces.
which pertain to human brotherhood as
well as to Christian department. II is a
day of rest, not of idleness, and should be
pre- eminently distinguished by good works.

the financial ministers of the Govern

prove abortive in the face of determin-

of Civil Service Commissioners will soon
be appointed by the President. Mr..
Eaton is known to have resigned, DIR.
Gregory is said to have followed his ex-
ample, and it is thought that Mr.. Tho

places on Mr.. Cleveland the RESPONSE

will be in thorough sympathy with his

OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
SOUTHERN PINES, NC, Oct. ?.
The Southern hunter is now in his
glory. Wild turkeys are getting to be
fat and juicy. Deer are browsing around
in the swamps and lowlands. Rabbits
are hunting after hunters to hunt them.
Bob Whites, or partridges, as they are
incorrectly called down here, are TO be
found in all the old fields and stubble
lands. Possums are getting plump, and
the round-faced darkey grins all over as
he thinks of roasted ,possum. The lakes
are beginning to be attractive to wild
duck, and pretty soon we shall be able
to offer the sportsman glorious field of
operation.
coLoNIZE, BY ALL MEANS
While there is no danger whatever
but that single family from the North
or the East will succeed by settling alone
in our State, yet there are very cogent
reasons why we believe that the true
way to succeed is by colonizing.
A few families that are thoroughly
acquainted, if they work in harmony are
positively certain of success.
The lady members of the colony do
not get lonesome. The weaker ones
are cheered by the stronger. There is
combination and consequent strength
in this way of settling in new country.
Such a settlement of people would
secure at once good educational facili-
ties, and such church privileges as they
can agree upon.
A community or colony such as we
refer to would doubtless seek common
market, even in the cities OF the North
and East. Such action would, If care
were taken, establish a reputation for
their products that would command for
them the very hiehAa. market prices.
An Illustration of this can be seen in the
price that "gilt-edge" butter ALWAYS
brings, The preserved and canned goods
of the Oneida Community, of N. Y, and
the goods put up by the Shakers are
other illustrations of the value of estab-
fishing reputation for producing only
the very best.
Fortunes await such colonies in every
part of North Carolina. Land is chean
here now, and now is the time to make
calculations IN that direction.
Don't you think 10 will pay you TO talk
the matter over with your nslghboFs?

THE difficulty in the way of settling
the latest Eastern question is said to be
the claims of Greece and Servia. The
Sultan has no efficient army to enforce
his nominal suzerainty over Roumelia,
and be is disposed to accept the facts
that have been accomplished. But both
Servia and Greece have taken advantage
of the trouble to attempt making an ad-
dition to their territory, Greece wishing
to annex Crete. The insistence on their
claims by these Governments keeps the
whole question open, and the difficulty
of securing concerted action by the
Powers does not lessen.

SIR HENRY THOMPSON an English
physicians who understand the thing
cay that all enteric fevers, such as ty-
phus, cholera, and the Oriental plague
itself, are due to positive pollution in
the air and water. Historiographers of
disease tell us that the cholera comes
from the mouth of the Ganges, the yell
low fever IRON, the mouth of the Missih-
sippi, and the plague from the mouth
Of the Nile. Now the Mediterranean is
an obvious focus and hotbed OF enteric
poison, and has been so ever since the
days of the Athenian plague, which
Thucydides chronicled. Its tideless
waters accumulate unspeakable filth and
garbage. The present cholera com
menced and found its chief seat in Mar
seilIss, which is, perhaps. the most pes.
tilential port in the world.

expire, so that the nominations of over
one thousand postmasters will come be-
