The Work Still Going On--Grinding

Pipes.
The cotton mill Is a busy place, and daily
machinery goes into position, TO be In readl.
ness for the appointed work in making cloth.
The pipes Tor The water works have been laid
In the ground around the mill, and the iron
pipes are run through every section OF the
building.
Some earth work has been done on the res
ervoir, or lake, and there remains yet some
additional work to be done.
The six inch pipe which was TO convey the
water 10 the reservoir will be taken up and
larger pipe, IT Is estimated, will take the
whole OF the stream into the lake.
The fifteen inch pipe which Is TO drain the
mill yard, has been laid In the ground which
will be several feet heoW the surface or the
lake, when 1t Ia full OF water.
| Final disposition has not yet been made
the hot water, which will be used for cou
densing the steam, but at present 1t seems
| that IL will be conducted into the pipe that
drains the mill yard, when, instead of rum
ming back into the lake, II will run directly
into the creek.
The flow OF cold water from the creek, 1t Is
mands without using The hot water That runs
from the steam condenser. Five hundred
gallons a min ute Is the estimated amount OF
water that will be heated and sent out from
the condenser, and that is about the capacity
or the creek. The little pipe through which

To Raise Money.

The inventive genius of good financiers Is
to the average citizen, bewildering ana pas'
finding out. Hot suppers, and strong lemo
made drinks, were once popular methods o.
raising church money, but now we have lee
lures, shows, &C., for the upbuilding OF the
church.
Lately the church has laid aside its obJec'
tion to such performances. and has co-ope-
rated with a small number OF this
kind OF entertainments, on condition OF diVl'
sion of the profits. For instance, we oeheVe
the following is true:
The Business Mems Carnival was Tor tne
benefit of the Episcopal church. and for the
increase of the finances Of the Inventor OF the
performance.
Sam Jones's lecture was for the Methodist
church, and for Sans individual profit.
The Luther Reformation was for the Pres
byterlan church. and for the material aid ol
Mrs. Monroe and her associates.
Will D. Upshaw has just delivered In the
Court House his lecture, for the benefit OF the
Baptist church, and which had for further
object the adding 10 the bank account Of the
lecturer.
By the salutary effect OF these performances
the dividing line between saint and sinner
may be eventually rubbed out, when we Will
all be good alike.
If the church mingles with the great mass
of outcasts, the wandering sheep may be
brought into the fold and become even as
Gods people are.
II the unregenerate sons OF iniquity join IN
the pay performances Of the church. they
may learn TO be interested and thus become
joint heirs to the place which has been pre-
pared for them in the city Of pearly gates and
golden streets.
Ifthe religious shows and pious hot suppers
should be the means of bringing the people
together in one harmonious whole, and II
such commingling Of Gods people with plain
every day sinners, should bring them to the
foot OF the Cross, the diadems representing
these shows and these suppers may be the
most dazzling gems in the crowns which are
hereafter to be worn in the neighborhood OF
the Great White Throne.
If the sons Of Belial may sit down TO take
meat and drink with the sons of the Most
High, and If sinners may perch themselves
on the same benches with Gods people, If the
exclusi iveness of Gods people may be set
aside in the presence Of the presumptuous
sons OF evil, can anybody tell the latitude or
the longitude in which we are, or whittier We
are drifting?

the features OF the show. -.

The Congress Of bnsthers.

Those pestilential ~nuisances, WAC are

name of the Mothers, Congress-" have
made rather more than the usual contri-
button to the social revolt which is wreck
ing our civilization. One wicked woman,
Alice La Moyne, the papers call her, read
a paper mainly devoted to the assertion
that men are responsible for the exist
ing moral deterioration 1t never occurs
to these people to. inquire whether any
such deterioration exists apart from the
aspirations of a certain class of women
and from the zfetid i-maginations of the
Parkhurstians.
He would be a brave men who would
~dogmaticaily assert that the world is
growing any better. So long as human
nature retains the faint of Adam-and
Eve, it is to be feared it will always
maintain about the same moral balance.
But the very notion that it grows no
better, negatives the idea that it can
grow any worse. If we are born in
original sin, we also possess the elements
of saving grace within us.
