THE Seventh Day Adventists who are
holding the camp at Longwood Grove Oh
the outskirts of the city, believe in the
second coming of Jesus Christ. They do
not believs in the laying on Of hands to
cure their sick but call in the physician
and if his services are not sufficient, they
believe in prayer, as the Lord performed
miracles and they believe he can perform
the same again. Their Sabbath commences
from sunset on Friday evening and ends
ut sunset Saturday evening. Their Sab
bath is based on the Fourth commandment
The Rev. r. A. Undcrwoon, of Ohio, says:
"the Jews observe Saturday so far as the
day is concerned, but they are not strict
Christians The Seventh Day Adven-
lists camp now being held, comprises the

Wilmington, according to the ideas of
slne people, who think they own every
thing within sight in our city, is finished
and all it needs is II fence erected around
1t and then whitewashcl. Tho keeping
Of every improvement from our city is to
the liking Of a few men, who would, if
they could, make the people pay for the
sir they breathe They get all they want
without paying the city one dollar year
for franchise tina; is worth thousands of
dollars and think nobody else should en-
Joy the same privileges as themselves. We
should like to see the powers that be have
o more liberal tendency aud encourage
every now enterprise that would bring
people into our city and thereby help our
merchants and stUrckCcpcrs.

Sec to confer with General Smith will have
some tangible effect and result in more

A Foolish Duel.

The duel between Prince Henri Of Or
leans and Count Turin, took place at five
o'clock Sunday morning on the Bots des
Narecheux. some ten miles from Paris.
The fight was desperate one for honor
and blood aud lasted twenty-six minutes.
The duel was the outcome Of certain state
ments published in Paris over Prince
Henry's signature, rejecting on the con.
duct of the Italian soldiers in Abyssinia,
where the Prince is financially interested.
He charged them with being towards and
running away from native troops. Tho
Italians decided that ono of their number
should call Prince Henri to account in the
field for his utterances. Then Count
Turin took up the gauntlet and the duel
followed with the result that Prince Henri
was seriously wounded in the sdo. We
can't see what good the duel did or how
the Italian army or its officers have been
indicated by the passage at arms. 1t is
to DO hoped that Count Turin and Prince
Henri and their friends have been fully
vlndicated and the insults to the Italian
army wiped out, although it is probable
Prince Henri will lose his life as result
of the duel
