Mr.. D. L. Moody, of Chicago, so widely
and favorably known in Christian circles in
this country and in Great Britain, is in our
city and is holding a series of meetings in
the Coliseum Place Church, corner Of Camp
and Terpsichore streets. Mr.. Moody is an
Evangelist of rare power and skill in un-
folding the Scriptures, and his remarks are
full of pith and point, filled with striking
and original illustrations drawn from a
wide and varied experience. His Bible lee
lures during the week have been of intense
interest to the crowds who have thronged
the church, and not only have the people
been greatly pleased, but built up in the
word of God. While in England last year
multitudes attended his ministry and hun
dreds were ranked among the converts.
This is his first visit to this city, and after
tarrying a week or two longer he will sail
for England to resume his work IN that
country. NJ. Moody will preach in the
CarOndelet Street Methodist Episcopal
Church on Sunday morning, repeating by
request his sermon TO parents and Sunday
school teachers. On Sunday night and
every night next week he will preach in the
Coliseum Place Church.

The aged and learned professor Of the

In the spirit Of passive rebuke we have

tactics most likely to

A laborer, painfully anxious about
the fate of his family should death
take him away, one day found in a
bush two birds nests near each 9TH
er. Constantly he watched them,
till one day hawk pounced upon
and destroyed the parent birds be-
longing to one Of them. Sadly dis
tressed, thinking the fate of the
little birds betokened the fate of his
own little children when he was no
more, he kept away from the place
for some time, but at last was drawn
to look at the nest, expecting to find
the fledgeling starved to death; but
to his surprise, they were alive and
healthy. Standing by in astonish-
ment he saw the parents Of the other
brood equally distribute the food
they brought between their own
young ones and the orphan birds,
and took comfort (for in that country
there is no work house,) believing
that the great Father would in such
extremity provide in a similar way
for his own children.

Several of our contemporaries of
the press have suggested meeting
in this city on the 20th of July, for
the purpose of taking the necessary
steps to form a new State out of all
the territory of West Tennessee,
West Kentucky, and a portion of
North Mississippi. We say, let the
meeting be held, and in behalf of
the hospitable citizens of jackson
we hereby tender a cordial welcome
to all the friends of the enterprise
who may attend. Ample arrange
ments will be made to accommodate
all who may come. 1t is not neces-
sary to have meetings in all the coun-
ties to appoint delegates, for the in
vitation is broad enough to take in
all the friends of this great move
ment who may be present on the oc-
casion. But we especially invite ed
iters and representative men, ire
spective of political parties, to be
with us on the 20th of July. If we
had a united press on this subject,
all working to a given point, and
take a strong pull, long pull, and a
pull altogether, the new State can
be formed. In the meantime we
suggest to the citizens of Jackson
that they have an early meeting and
appoint the necessary committees to
push forward the work.-Jacks0n

We wonder if this world ever was


or ever will be without more or less


grumblers? We reckon not. 1t is


no odds how bountiful the crops or


how plenty money may be, there is


always full quota of grumblers to


croak 'shard times,' and it does ap-


pear that this section is particularly


cursed with it's full share of these


miserable miserable


yes that is the word-because a man


that is always grumbling like a sore


headed bear cannot be otherwise


than miserable. We have one of


the most healthful and productive


countries to be found in the world


a fine climate, where life can be en-


joyed as it is in but few other places,


and still we have those among us


who are dissatisfied with their lot
We have an abundance of corn,


wheat, meat and everything else for


home consumption, and some to


spare to foreign markets-we have
enough money to carry on the pres
ent business of the country, and it
can be borrowed at 10 per cent, but


still we have men that complain of
''hard times" The fact is this gen.
Grafton knows nothing about the
''hard times that their fathers of
thirty and forty years ago expert
enced. and never will. If their cur
rency was deprecated and almost
worthless, their corn and wheat ly-
ing in their granaries rotting for the
want of buyers at 25 and so cents
per hushel, and labor was worthless,
then there might be some cause for
this grumbling. But this is not the
case. On the contrary we take a
more hopeful view of the situation,
and think the times are a great deal
better than the people. We are too
prone to complain without a cause.
If we were more thankful for the
abundance we have. we would all do
better. Always look apon the bright
side of the picture as well as the
dark side. We think we have the
greatest country in the world, and
the times here. everything consider
ed, are better than anywhere else
If every man had his pockets full of
money, he would quit work entire
and go to loaing, and we would
have no laborers among US. To de-
velop the real resources of a coun-
try, money ought not to be plenti-
full. When it is scarce it is more
valuable. and the community will go
to work and do something to get its
share. Is not this so? If some of
our people would do more work, or
business of some kind, they would
find less time to croak about the
"hard times" Why, if money grew
upon the trees and bushes these men
would be too lazy to gather it-they
would then grumble because some
body did not pluck it off and bring it
to them. If there is class Of men
in this world that we have the most
utter contempt for. it is that class
that are always croaking about
"hard times" There is an abun-
dance of everything here that
can be obtained if the necessary in
dustry is used, and if every man
does not get his share it is through
his own neglect. More work and
less croaking will make good
times" Try it and see if our head
is not level upon this matter.

The London Garden has the following
words Of praise for this delicious fruit,
which, Notwithstanding its ease OF culture
and afkfptability tO'our climate, is too little
known amongst us = BY covering the vines
in winter, the Sleord may be ripened
even as far nort Is Minnesota:


Men can liye1dnd work on grapes and
bread. The peasantry Of France, Spain
and Italy make many q satisfactory meal
in this way, and of the wholesomeness OF
the diet there can be no doubt. Medical
men constantly recommend the use of
grapes for their patients. To sit under
ones own vine has, in all ages, been con-
sidered the acme of rural happiness-an
emblem of peace, a symbol of plenty, and
picture Of contentment. That pleasure,
though perhaps not in all its fullness, may
become the heritage of thousands I'm these
temperate climes. Neither our latitude,
longitude, nor erratic climate forbid the
growth of the grapevine throughout the
larger part of the country. In many dis
tricts its fruit will ripen perfectly. In al
most all it would ripen sufficiently to be
useful for eating. Ripe grapes are univcr-
sally esteemed. No one tires of them. IL
any one declined to eat their own grapes,
or grew more than were needed for home
consumption, there is a ready market in
most neighborhoods for grapes, AT from four
pence to shilling pound, according to
quality.


Thus nourishing vine on the gable end
or front OF cottages might make or save
the rent many times over. know many
cottage gardens In which the vine or vines
are not only their chief ornament, but the
main source of profit. These might be
multiplied up and down the country to in
finity. There need be no fear of an exces-
sive supply; neither are ripe grapes so
perishable as most other fruits. Cut with
piece of wood attached, and placed in bot
ties OF water, or even suspended in dry
room, the fruit will keep good for months,
and even improve by keeping.

For some time past young gentleman
employed on the Evansville and Chicago
Railroad has been troubled with cough,
for which he has been taking medicine
from DIR. Newell, but without any good ef-
feet being apparent. A few days ago he
was taken with severe fit of coughing,
in the course of which he coughed up q
gold dollar, and since that time he has en-
tirely recovered from the pain in his lungs
and the irritating cough. While wonder
ing how the gold coin could have got into
his lungs he recollected that some months
ago he had two or three gold dollars, and
when going to bed one night he remem-
bers to have had one of them in his mouth.
When he came TO look for his money the
next day, or perhaps later, he found that
he had one hess than he supposed, and bis
opinion is that he went TO sleep with the

asleep it got down'his throat.-Ecansritte
