The study of prophecy by tunny theologians of to -tlay, have counted the time of the second coming of Christ to be near Uon us. Dates have been pet by the Ail rent 1st people for this great event. prejK'rations and exiectnncy by many people, for several years passed have come to naught, for we hav passed those" periods set by specula tive men without any percep 'table change. .We ha ve read with much interest the pnbli cations of Lieut. Totten o the U. S. Army on this inter esting subject, that have been recently published. Mr. 1 ot- ten has made this theme n study for several year anc has been able, as he claims, to mathematically calculate and fix the year, (does no claim to know the day nor the hour) and says that the second coming will take place in 1899, he further declares that the last year of grace repentance is 1892. This is a startling reralation of M Totten and is being ex ten eively published and is caus ing many comments as he is able to demonstrate the mathematical rea s o n i n g from the prophecies of the luble to establish his deelar ations. Many of our able theologians of different de nomination have held the opinion that the end of the World (gosj)elage) is near at hand and that Christ wil appear and reign a thousand years on earth and the mil lennium will be ushered.in. No doubt there is a perioc of time, for this oecurance but when it is to take place, we do not, nor never wil know, until it comes. The Tumniire Trial. Last week we published an account of the death of Wel- born Turnmire, on Samson this county, and that he was found dead in a burning heap in the new ground. He was buried and afterwards sus picion rested upon his broth cr, John, as having been the cause of his death. L. G. Turn mire, uncle of these young men, swore out a warrant a gainst John. The Coroner was summoned to hold an inquest over the body of Wil born which had been buried two weeks. The body wasdis intered and examined by the Coroner's jury, and Dr. L. C Reeves. No fracture of the skull was found, (ashad been reported) r.o violence that might have caused death, could be discovered, excent the burned condition of the body, but circumstances un der which he died caused the Coroner's jury to render a virdict against John, as he was the only person known to be with the deceased the night of his death. The Jury believing a full investigation of all the circumstances, was necessary to have adjudica ted. A number of witnesses for the State were summoned and the accused was bi ought before D. B. Dougherty J. P. and a trial had. There was do evidence implicating any one as having rati set the death of Wflborn. TheJVause of tu death isstilla mystery. The young man mny have had a fit of some kind and fell in the burning trash heap and burned to death. The defendant was released after the examination of all he State's witnesses, none of the witnesses for the de fense being brought to the stand. (ESER1L HETTS. ..President II irrison and party have returned to Wash ington after a month's swing ncross the country. .The IiOgislature, ofMasH. on the 19th, passed n resolu tion appropriating f 7",000 for the Woild's fair. ...Jackson Fla. h.id a very disastrous fire on the night of the 19th. One half a mill ion dollars worth of property was consumed. ...The administration is be ing criticised sharply by the New lork Tribune, in regard to sending the "Charleston' to capture the ship "Itata." .Secretary Klainehas nenr recoveied from his sick ness. He has had an attack of the gout in New York. He will in a few days return to Washington. ...It is amusing to hear re publican editors praise the ate radical Congress for ta king off the tariff on sugar, and that sugar is cheap. It is good to have cheap sugar Why not have the tariff tak en off of other necessaries of ife? Will these republican brethren please answer? ..Tenn. people held a con vention at Hairiman, Judge Butler was. elected president. The object of the convention was ostensible for the pur poses to raise funds and ap point representatives that the State may be represented nt the orld's fair. The Leg islature failing to make any appropriation for the pur pose. .The late frost has been more general and destructive than was first supposed Every State in the Union has been more or less damacet in crops, vegetables and fruit. and the damage has been se vere and the' loss very great. North Carolina alone has sustained heavy damages, corn, wheat and cotton, to say nothing of fruit and veir etables, have been seriously damaged. .The third party move is on foot. The convention at Cineinnatti recently organ ized the third party and we will have a booming cam paign in 1892. It is hard to say at. this time what effect this move will have, ooliti- cally. The presentlout look now indicate the distinction of the repub'ican party in the western States and a snlit in the democratic party in the southern States. St Louis, Mo. Ma 21. 1891.

The wisest of men may still 'think,' write, and converse upon this sub ject for years to come, and yet be urn, hie to reach its depth, height, 6r magnitude. The t ry c o m e s from the North, East, South and West that we should, yea, must, educate. Then we would at once conclude that the people are becoming aroused to a consciousness of their great need. But I fear thai many of us in our eagernes.4 to ac quire an education, overlook the one thingso needful. Yes, I fear that many of us who have children and are putting forth every effort possible to have them educated, are not enough concerned about their moral training theeducation of the soul the immortal principle. I am inclined to think that we, as a rule, are not careful enough as to what kind of men, morally speaking, we have itt teach our children. Our teachers make impression's,' and ini-, plant principles upon th minds of our J children," let them be good or evil, tha areas lasting as time am durable as eternity. Yes, they have much to do in forming the characters of the young, and when I say char acters I don't mean reputa tion. Therefore we should hp careful as to how our hil dren are instructed, for by so being, their feet may be well placed, and their course well directed. While on the other hand their feet are too often placed upon slintierv ground and there they are unsafe. Now don't under stand me to set forth the idea that, sectarianism should be taught in our schools. I be lieve that would be anite im proper, but 1 do think that our teachers should set such examples before, and rrive such advice to, their pupils an in, iiiueuui.y, impress up on their minds the.-neeeRsitv and great importance of liv ing cnnstian lives; '1 think that our tenehmn .shnM h devoted christians. T h e V should be men nniV who realize the crent rMnnn. sibility that actually, rest upon uiem. They should feel impressed with thefarf th.of they are moulding characters not oniv tor time )mt for eternity. They should be men and women who, on en tering the school room at first and each cessively, would call their - pupils about them, mid to them a portion of tlndWMi-H and pray, earnestly and sin cerely, lor them, thereby showinir their own :itmiw;-j. tion of Hod's blessing and their i.Uei-est for their pupils eternal welfare. I n saying that as soon as we havft more devoted christian teachers, we will hnvo christian boys and girls, men unu women too. i would like to say more but probably I have written enough for this time.
