said: "And now, put of the writings and
sayings and deeds of those who loudly
proclaim the "rights of man" and the
"rights of liberty" match me, if you can,
with one sentance so sublime, so noble,
one that will so stand at the bar of God
hereafter, as this simple, glorious sentence
Of Paul's, in which he asserts the rights
Of Christian conscience above the claims
of Christian W Wherefore, if meat
make my brother to offend 1 will eat no
flesh while the world standeth, lest I
make my brother to offend"
Senator Blair, some weeks ago, intro
duced into the United States Senate a bill
to secure to the people the enjoyment Of
the First Day of the Week as a day of rest,
and to permit it's observance as a day Of
religious worship. It provides that on the
Lords day no person shall perform any
secular work, except in cases of necessity
and humanity, or engage in amusement to
the disturbance of others, nor shall the
mails be collected or delivered except
when the life or death of any person is
concerned, nor shall between
States be lawful on this day.

Judge Avery sentenced Cross to six years

they ever got such an idea. The ~sentance,
as first announced by His Honor, was
eight years labor for Cross, on the public
roads, and five years labor for White on
the puplic roads. His Honor, in response
to a very touching appeal in behalf of
Cross, by his counsel, begging that his
sentence be made the same as Whites,
RENTED n year, only, making the sem
tence seven years. The words "six" or
"penitentiary" were mot at any time
mentioned.
Consul Schoenhof sends to the State
Department a very interesting comparison
of the cost of manufacturing print cloths
in Massachusetts, and Lancashire, Eng.
land. He shows conclusively that the
labor cost of both spinning and weaving
is larger in proportion to actual output in
Lancashire than in Lowell. The English
manufacturers overcome the difference in
the cost of labor by the use of smaller
yarn, to which the required weight is
given by sizing. To this complexion has
the close manufacturing rivalry between
the two countries been brought. Of
course, the American goods are better
than the sized and loaded English goods;
and if yarns of equal weight and quality
should be used our cotton manufacturers
could under-sell the British manufacture
ers in their own market.
Attention is directed to the ADVERTISE
ment of the celebrated Salem Female
Academy, located at Salem, N. c., which
appears in this issue of our paper. The
institution is too old and too favorably
known to need commendation from any,
and for the past eighty years it has
ranked as the first Female College of the
South. The Salem Female Academy is
directed by the Morayian Church and was
opened for boarding pupils in the year
1904, and has continued it's educational
work, without interruption, ever since.
During the past "a years its more than
5000 alumne have spread it's reputation
over all parts of the South. In many cases
the children and grandchildren of earlier
pupils nave been educated here, and it is
the matured judgement Of It's former
s~collars which sends it a large portion of
its present pupils. For catalogue and
other information, apply to Salem Female
Academy, Salem, N. G.
