journal in pamphlet form, published at
Waco Texas, and devoted to education,

our much esteemed friend and former

has many good things in it, and has a
corps of able contributors, whose names

say that Texas clsims the editor, we but
utter the truth. as that is his adopted

say that Winn parish is proud that she is
represented in the Lone Star. State by so
able and eminent a parsonage as Bro.

One Of Florida's preachers, now gone
to his reward, had favorite and forciblc
sermon into which he introduced mag
net key and knife to Illustrate the Office
OF Christ. the Holy Ghost and the Word
in conversion. \ brother of less talent
thought tia fine thing, and concluded
that he would use the illustration also.
He succeeded pretty well. A preacher of
the lIardshell persuasion, hearing this
and seeing the effects, concluded he
would try his hand at the same game. So
he announced that he would show Tie
true church. AT the proper time drew
from his pocket hicaorynut with tile
shell on 1t, a hammer and knife. He
took the knife and the nut and Carefully
carved off the shell, explaining that the
shell was Me;hodism, pithy. soft and
good for nothing; coming to the hard
shell, he explained that was the Mission

The much talked of case. Smelling VS..
r. l.. Tannehill, Tax Collector and w.
A. Little, has at last been tried, and de-
cided IN favor of Mr.. Smelling.
This was suit which our readers well
know, to annul the sale OF piece of land
belonging TO Smelling, which Ar. Tame
hill sold while Tax collector, for taxes
due by Smelling, and Mr. VI. y. Little
became the purchaser. just what the
character Of the evidence was we know
not, and was not present to beay The
trial, but it appears to us, hat if .iie taxes
were due and unpaid at the tine of the
sale, it is hard on Mr.. Tannehill and Mr.
Lite. to have to pay the immense costs
which have accrued in this ease, rs it has
been pending some time, while upon the
other hand it is equally rs hard on Mr.
to have them to pay, if the taxes
wefe not due az the time his laad was
sold. We are satisfied, however. that
Judge Bridger has decided as he thinks
right. The case has been appealed 70 thc

in company With Mr.. u. b. Little. left
Winfield for the purpose of attending
the meeting of the Educational -ssseeia-
lion of Vim parish. which convened on
Sept, 18th with Mount Zion Church. On
our route down there, we remained
over night " it'll Mr.. Jesse Dean, whose
whole-souled hospitality makes guest
feel as comfortable rs need be. The next
morning we renewed our journey, and in
due time arrived at the proper place The
people of the vicinity had already began
to gather, and from the commodious table
that we saw prepared there, and the many
baskets and boxes, and such like, that the
neighbors were bringing in, we began to
surmise that there would be plenty of re-
freshments for the inner man, aud later
in the day it was demonstrated that cur
conclusions were based on solid facts. for
that commodious table fairly grosned I'M
der the heavy load of delicate viands and
eatables of all kinds which were spread
from end TO end, all of which goes to
prove most clearly that the fair ladies in
that country know most perfectly how to
prepare on such occasions. As the min
utes will he published, we shall not enter
into the details Of the meeting. We must
especially congratulate the people of that
vicinity for their forethough:. in maxim.
such ample arrangements; and also the
choir for the very excellent music on that
occasion.
We feel also that we would be iireIict
in our duty as n journalist. were we to
fail to mention the splendid effort of our
friend Mr.. Cyrus McGinty, from the Sub
ject, sWhat may we expect to accomplish
for education by unity OF action" in his
first appearance before a public audience.
To say that he did well, would but feebly
express the idea, therefore. we shall say
that his effort was most brilliant, and
loudly appiauded. and much appreciated
BY all. Mr.. K. Z. Milling, delivered a
splendid address, but he is so we'll known
as an able orator. that he needs no COM
ment from US. His subject was ..How
shall we unity" Winn parish should
feel proud that she has two such talented
young men, who can claim VIM parish
as their native home. The Association
was in session one day and adjourned to
meet with the people of warel.7 at kyiehe
Grange Hall, the time to be fixed By the
local committee of that ward, and to be
published with the proceedings The
Association was very much disappointed
st not seeing NJ. Easton. We must not
forget to mention that the worms have
eaten up all the cotton we passed
en- our route, but the farmers say corn is
good, and they can rejoice in an album
dance OF ''hog and hominy.''

The veteran Washington CORES
pondent of the Boston Herald saws
that the two months of Cleveland's
administration have been the best he
has ever seen in Washington. "The
American people," he says, "ought
to devote a day to special thanks
giving to God for the honest and pa
triotic administration which Grover
Cleveland has organized, and for
their deliverance from the grand fes-
tival of thieving and debauchery
which Blaine and his cabal would
have set a going here if the election
last year had gene the other way"
He doubts if it be possible for any
man to perform the duties of Presi-
dent with more courage, wisdom
and discretion" than the President
has displayed. The mistakes in the
appointments can "be counted on the
fingers" "When the appointed and
disappointed have had their day"

upon the public mind at the opening

The Hebrew word ''sheol' has
lately been brought into prominence
by being substituted in the revised
version of the Old Testament for the
familiar "hell." 1t would appear that
the reyisers could not find an English
expression for "sheol' which salts
fed them, and therefore they have
transcribed it Just as it stands in the
Hebrew text. Originally, however,
"hell," like the Greek shades" was
the exact equivalent of "sheol," both.
being the designation of a vast hei-
low place or cavern under the earth
where the spirits of the dead were
supposed to dwell, not in torrents,
but still in darkness and discomfort.
The place of puniehment was called
by the Hebrews in later days "gehen'
ma" from the name of the valley
near Jerusalem where rubbish an6
ordure yer cast, and where fire:
were kept burning to purify the air
The idea of shell" as a place Of tor
ment is q modification of the origi
nal conception, but it has become 81
firmly established that the word NJ
longer answers to the Hebrew "she
OIL" and has therefore properly beel
discarded by the revisers.

Affairs between Russia and En-
gland do not seem to be settled upon
a firm basis, Or rather there is a hitch
in the. negotiations which has pre-
vented any settlement being reached.
The Russian demands have increas-
ed. Having established herself with
in easy striking distance of Herat,
she wants a corresponding strataget-
ical position on the borders of the
provinces forming the northeast por-
ton of Afghan TurkistaD. She will
then have two points from which to
invade Afghanistan when she gets
ready. Meanwhile it is growing ev-
cry day harder for the government
to justify itself to the people for the
position in which England is placed
before the world, although Gladstone
expresses his firm conviction of be-
ing able to do so, when the whole
matter can be made public.

Those republican officials who
cling TO the offices to which they were

judge was approached as follows
'Judge, lend me So" why" said
the judge, "should lend you money:
You are always opposed to me politi

said, "Don, / am with you financially,

The action of Secretary Whitney
in hauling Commodore Russell over
the Goals for the shameless BULLDOG
ing, at recent elections, of the en-
ployes in the Mare Island Navy Yard
will meet with very general approval.
The offense is a particularly mean
one, and it has been openly committed
at every naval yard in the country at
every election for years past. 1t is
not enough that the guilty officials be
censured and warned-they should be
removed. The worst of rascals is the
rascal who tyrannizes and truckles
according as his boss, for the time
being, directs.
