The troubles in Europe, Asia and Africa
are becoming serious, possibly, to the
parties most directly concerned. The
Moroccan imbreglio is engaging the at
tention of the political powers. The Ha-
tian-Turko war is watched with interest (;
and the sick man" may yet die; and the
old prOphesy of years ago may yet be full
filled The Cross shall rise, the Crescent
wane, grow pale and disappear. For
this war, if its fundamental basis is not
now, it may yet result in a conflict be-
tween Islamism and Christianity It's
got to come and TripOli may be the en-
teriug wedge. The revolt in China, and

days. Wars snd rumors OF wars Such
times as were never known from the be-
ginning of the world, etc. The Rev

elapse before the dawn of the millennium,

crank, after all, rs many denomina-
tons of christianity are pleased to call
him A republican China Shades of
Confucius Why, we may yet learn that
a christian flag stands guard at the Oar
danelles, and a christian government
Teigns at ConstantinoPle Is that too
much? Who shall tell

The first thing we notice is the accumu-
lation of piling on the dock, and some of |
its diminutive size, which leads us to
believe that if the shipment of lumber
from this district continues, in the future
as it has done in the past, in process of
time there may not be enough left to fur
nish gad for a country schoolmaster.
Also we note that during the past week
the leaves on the trees of the wood, par
ticularly oak, the hickory have changed
turned yellow remarkably fast. And
it was not a good week for changing
either
For the past few days the nights and
mornings have been cool. Straw hats
have been discarded and fires have feltt
