A vile brute, named John A. Spooner.
who has been guilty of indecently exposing
himself before persons of the other sex, At
Santa Barbara. was sentenced to six months
and to pay fine of $3.50 by
Justice of the Peace. He sued
out writ of habess corpus in the Supreme
Court who made the writ returnable before
Judge Brunson of this county. The Judge
yesterday heard the petition which was
based upon the ground that the punishment
was excessive. Judge Brunson held that
the fine should not have been imposed and
remitted it, but remanded the prisoner to
the Santa Barbara Jail to complete his term
of six onths.

TO EVERY BODY.

If subscriber, please consult the
date, on the yellow address label on
Your paper and kindly renew accord
ing to the date there recorded. If, how
ever, 1T is not convenient, in some spe-
cial cases, for a subscriber to renew at
the expiration of his subscription, we
will take pleasure in continuing the
paper and wait for the payment.
Every reader of the Central PreSby-
terrain ought to be able to induce some
friend or friends to subscribe for the
paper, and thus secure it at the very
lowest rates. Read what we say in
the first column of this page, and send,
IT you can, another name with yours
when you renew. Many of our sub
scribers are doing this, and we hope
many more will do it. The season has
now come when most persons make
their subscriptions to the religious
newspapers, and we ask all our sub
scribers to aid us, and at the same time
get their own paper at a reduced rate,
by securing a new subscriber.

Presbyterian College at Eustis,
Florida.

In order to secure the location of this
college the town of Eustis made a cash
offer of $4,000 and other offers of land.
&C., aggregating in value about $25 900.
A letter In the Florida Herald, Jackson
vile, says:
The site selected is southeast from the town
proper, on the east side of Lake Nettie and East
Crooked Lake, on an elevation of the very best
of pine land, and far from seventy. five feet
above the lakes just named and one hundred
and fifty feet above Lake Eustis, and within
view, also, of Lake Eusts and four or FIVE other
large and beautiful lakes. The water of the
lakes where 1t Is located is as pure as that of anv
we'll. They have sandy banks and bottoms
and fine residences and groves surround the
shores, making it NEST charming, healthful
and in every way desirable location, not to be
surpassed anywhere hardly either North or
South
The Bustis offer was really the largest and
BEST taking all things into consideration The
Barlow offer was hampered with several condi-
lions, 80 that the Presbytery could not possibly
accept it. The Auburndale offer was much
smaller in the amount Of cash agreed TO be
given. The Winter Haven offer came from a
town that hardly yet has an existence. there
being but very few houses to be seen from the
depot, and it therefore, has yet to establish the
fact, you might say, whether it is really paper
town or not
The people Of Eustis have reason to congratu-
late themselves that they secured the prize.
The Presbyterian church, North and South has
no superior in the country for intelligence
wealth, stability, and all that goes to make up
great and hourshiug church organization. This
college will be under the auspices of both the
Northern and Southern Presbyteres. The Pres

To judge New York by its gambling

wise. Some years ago a minister from

week seeing the sights He called on
a settled pastor, with whom he had
some acquaintance, and sitting down
in his study, burst into tears. What
is the matter? said the minister. ooh.

The JORDAN BRIDGE.-The re-settle-
ment of the Holy Land, it is stated,
continues to agitate the Jews all over
the world. Even despite Turkish rule,
the country is improving. The recent
opening of bridge across the Jordan
was attended by Moslems, Christians,
and Jews. Even the Bedouins are
pleased with the bridge, as it affords
safe crossing for their camels at all
seasons, and prevents the loss of life
and property which took place at the
ford every year.

THE STABILITY OF NATURE

1t cannot be said too often, in reply
to that modern scientific spirit which
dispenses with an intelligent presiding
mind in the universe, and inculcates
that all that we see has been mystic
riously evolved by some blind force
it cannot be said too often, that with
out an intelligent and regulating will
behind all these things, we should
have catastrophe in twenty-four
hours in the universe.
What keeps the planets in their
paths? What protects us against col
lisions? All the spaces that we see
are traversed Gas we have reason to
believe) by moving orbs, necessarily
revolving and passing each other, while
the comets sweep the whole arc of the
heavens, and yet there is no disaster.
What holds our earth on it's regular
course around the sun, or binds the
moon in its orderly attendance upon
our earth?
The very atmosphere we breathe is
marvel of delicacy in its adjustment
to the support of animal and vegetable
life on the globe. Nitrogen and oxy-
gen gases are the chief constituents of
this air; but when nitrogen and oxy.
gen are chemically combined, which
they do in various forms, we have in
every case product fatal to man, and
yet in our enveloping atmosphere they
are so mixed mechanically that it is
their Office to give breath to every
thing that lives. Ages ago, as the ge-
ologists tell us, this same air was
freighted with carbonic acid, which was
fatal to all the higher forms oflife. Now
that the more complex forms of life
have been introduced it is present in the
proportion of just one twenty.ffth OF
one per cent and more or less would
spread death over the entire globe.
Does a blind and unintelligent force
maintain these relations?
AS we said, writing about the earth
quake at Charleston last summer,
slight additional strain on the crust of
the earth would bury not only Charles
ton, but all the cities on our Atlantic
coast, in the bowels of the earth. The
agitation in this crust has continued
three months. And so in Southern
Europe there have been in every cen
fury Of historic times more or less dis
turbance of the surface of the earth,
resulting in the overthrow of cities and
towns. But in the main the equilib-
rum is preserved, and the amount of
life on the globe is not seriously dimin-
ished. Now if there were no restrain
ing pc yer to hold in check the tremen-
dous subterranean forces which cause
these disturbances, how long could we
calculate on the stability of the earth,
and feel at all secure in our human pur-
suits2 1t is only through confidence
in God that we can find any resting

In SEARCH OF THE TRUTH.-We take
the following excellent observations
from the Sunday School Times
No discussion is likely to prove profitable 20
dlsputant whose chief purpose is to prove that
bis view is the right view. The only proper
aim in discussion is the discerning Of the truth
in the matter at issue If two persons have
this aim in common, they can discuss any ques
ton to advantage; for each of them will be
reader TO see the truth as brought out by his
opponent than to seek an answer to his oppon
ent's arguments. But if each Of the two. or if
either Of tho two, has less Of desire to learn
whether or not he is in error than he is TO prove
that his adversary is in error-then this lack Of
openness Of mind toward the truth will only
tend TO confirm the victory loving disputant in
bis preconceived determination Of truth. If
you have no readiness to revise your own opin-
ions on given point at issue, never enter into
discussion on that point with person who
has obviously no desire to revise his opinions
on the same subject. A discussion would prob
ably be worse than useless TO both Of you.

"The new boys school at Zahleh,

Der of day scholars. This is but one

The Journal and Messenger says that
the Lutherans are making arrange
ments to introduce into this country
an order Of deaconesses, similar to that
in the old country, and to that in the
Catholic Church, except that the con-
secration is not necessarily for life, but
can be renounced at any time. Mr..
John ID. Lankernan, of Philadelphia,
has given 81, 100000 for the institution
OF German hospital in that city in
which these deaconesses shall be en-
ployed, and for the establishment of a
school for the education of those ac-
cepted and consecrated to this work.

THAT the laboring people want a
day Of rest goes, we suppose, without
saying, and when they get what they
are entitled to, they will have il
throughout the world. Bismarck in
response to some address to him on
this subject, replied as if he was not
satisfied, however, in his own mind
that the people wanted such a day.
A thousand carpenters of Berlin have,
therefore, forwarded to him Iaconic
memorial to explain their sentiments
You have declared, they cay, that you will
not forbid Sunday work until convinced by the
voice Of the laborers that they demand rest on
that day. Here then is their voice. We de
clare implicitly that we desire law which will
grant us protection in the en- oyment of freedom
from work on Sunday. Sunday labor leads to
misery, crime, and vagabondism.

the Winchester school boys, beginning I Glory
