MlXKLKNlURG I'resbvtery, which was held at "Long Creek" Church l:;st week, addoptcd the fol lowing resolution concerning Human Catholic schools : WnKREAs The Romish Church, which the Confession of Faith char acterizes thu, "The Popeof llorco U thai Ami-Christ, that Man of Sin and Son of Perdition, that exalted himself in the church against Chiist and all that is called God," is plant ing i's schools and colleges within our bounds, therefore, Itctolced, that our Sessions bo en joined to admonish all our members againstpatronizing or couiilenan cing in any way theso seductive and dangerous institutions, and that the disregard of this admonition will subject Lhcm to the censures of tho church- Whiie tho above- resolution may call down upon tho Presbytery the censure of those favoring Roman Catholic institutions, yet, if it be true that the Romi.h Church would fain exclude the Bible from Iho musses of the people, and compel them to r.ecopt and practice- droctrices for nulated according to tho inteipro tation of tho Popo, and Priests and Prelates, tho Body that adopted thi resolution deserves tho commenda tion of all true Protestants. If Ilistory bo true, Koman Catho. licitm, in years of long ngo, brought a stain uprrwwinc i-nffrTfr jtiLaj truo Protestantism can never forget. It is retnembcrcd by all readers 0! Church History how many pure arid noble Christian men and women were hurled into loathsomo prisons, beaten in t-tocks, bntehcreu, and burned at the stake because of (heir belief and practice of the teachings ct the Bille. They remember, how this Book of books, rvbose pages are full of cloquenco and prophecy, and truth and love ami chai ity and sweet promises, was excluded from all ex copt the highest authority of the llomish Church : bow. within the Becrcl chambers (.f that tyrannical Boct, detestablo heresies were forms tilated, and afterwards imposed upon the consciences of tho people ; and especially are they mindful oi the struggles and trials and tribulations of the great lie formers whose mighty efforts gave to protestantism its orign ; and if Koman Catholicism should again attain the power it once had, the truly Christian chnrch "would become enveloped in its for mer darkness, and Protestantism, whoso hallowed influences are now shed abroad over this great coun try of ours sustaining all that Is pure, noble and good in Church, Stat' , society and elsewhere, would soon be crushed beneath the tyrarny .f tho Pope, JIow then can he who loves to enjoy tho freedom of con science aud to bo permitted to ''search tho scriptures" for himself, find it in his heart to encourage institutions, tho tendencies of which arc towards taking away from him the sweet privileges wijich tho toils fuid bitter sufferings of tbosp who pasted through a great reformation, secured for Mm,? Let Presbyterians, and Luther ans, and Methodist, and Baptist, and Episcopals, and all protestant Chis iians, continue to encourago the free and constant use of tho Bible so that it may never again be taken away from the people.

My plan for fifteen years has been to buy so much space n a news paper and fill it up with what I wanted. I would not give an cd vertisomont in a newspaper of 400 circulation for 5,000 dodgers or pos ters. I deal directly with the publisher. I say to him : 'How long will you lei me run a coiumn of matter through your paper for 8100, or $300, as tho case may be. I let hm do tbe figuring, and if I think ho is not trying to take more than his share 1 tm-c him the copy. 1 lay aside the profits on a certain lino of goods for advertising purposes. The first year I laid aide $3,000, last year I laid aside and (-pent $ 10,000. I have done better this 3-car and thall in crease that sum as th profits war rant it. I owe my success to the newspapers, and to them I 6hall r.otij ; . v. - - ; r,.f: - f . yearly business." "When we say that advertising paj's, we do not express merely an opinion, but speak simply of a point of knowledge, Jt does not matter how well a merchant may be known in the section in which be doos Lusi ness, lively and judicious advertise ments constantly appearing in the newspaper of his town, will keep his patrons and other readers of the paper, on the lookout for some new bargain or new article of goods; and the better known and tbe more reli ab'o tho advertiser, the more weigh ty is the effect of the advertisement. It is an invariable lulo that tho mer chants w ho make freehand liberal use of ''printer's ink" afeWtho men w ho do a lively and prosperous bus iness, When you raako k:.own your business through the columns of a public journal, 30U benefit yourself, aid the newspaper enterprise of your town and give life to trade. 1VG3J AN'S CIIKISTIAX Tic 31 pic im rsT C1C UISIOIV. Communication by a Member at Liucoluton. One reason why the liquor traffic should be brobib:ted. We believe the stato has no right to interfere with any business at all. except on tbe ground that it is in- lrinsicaliy"a bad business, end cne frought with damage to society. Tho fundamental justification for meddling with this liquor business i- that it is found to bo so cssontially and continuously, always and every where, injurious to society and runi ous to otherwise happy homes, as to prove itself to bo an incomputable damage to the commonwealth, amounting to a horrible nuisance and course. Thero aro other reasons that might' bo given, why every man who desires to see tho properly of our country promoted should help in this great struggle, but this is suf ficient of itself. We endorse tho following article a timely and to the point: The retailer is no longer the quiet man engaged in a disreputable busi ness, but he is a missionary for tho diffusion cf alcohol, and an urgent, indefatigable fastener of the alcoholic appetite upon just as many as he can get his unclean hands upan. He goes out in search of customors, and by his offorts liquor is no longer a passive nuisance, but an active, ag gressive evil. lie makes his rooms as pleasant as possible ; he takes the daily newspaper's, which are free to his costomers ; ho bangs cheap but attractive pictures upon his walls always of a demoralizing nature, for bis business is to deroora'ize; he provides games of chance and skill for his customers, tbe slake being always beer ; ho inviles workingmcn to sit in his place, where there is a warm stove in tho winter, and ar- tificially cooled air in the summer; ho spreads a cheap lunch which is tree to all comers, the viands being invariably thirst provoking. The business is, in itself, an organized hunt after weak men and children. If a druggist should entice boys into his stora and feed them with opium, thai after the habit was fixed he might make money by selling them the drrg, there would be do question as to what the community would do with him. If thero should be found no law upon the statute-books to meet his case, one would bo made immpdiateiy. Wherein is the dif ference? The beerrshop keeper makes it his business to entice buys and weak men into bis place, and lures them on loan appetite more it-siructive than cpiam. Ho uses every artifice to fix tho alcohol habit upot, them, to tneir destruction and his proftt. fdroUwi r. DISTRUCTI7E CYCLONE. Brownsville, Texas, and Sur. rounding Country Swept by Wind and Storm Great Destruction of Proper ty Loss Estimated at $1,000,000. Galveston, Sept. 23. A special to the Neics from Brownsville, sajs: A cyclone visited Brownsville Wed nesday night, carrying destruction in its path- The rain accompanying the storm deluged tbe country for miles. Too less in property and crops is very great, but cannot yet be csiimated. Thus far no lives are reported lost. The village of Santa fyt-uz, opposite Brownsville, was en tirely submerged for several hours. Tho Kio Grande rose rapidly and l ilgCU line luo ecu, ana HIV UUUHWQlUr overflowed many mjles of fertile country. Tbe wind reached a veloc ity of 80 miles an hour, blowing ' a perfect hurricane for a couple of hours. The rainfall during Wed nesday night by actual measurement reached ten inches. The floods did almost as much damage as tbe wind Hardly a treo is h.ft standing in the vicinity of tho city, and several acr.?s of valuable sugar cano were blown to the eath. The roof of the Masonic Hall was carried away, Scanlon's largo warebouso was demolished, many private residences were un roofed and had their contents total ly ruined by the heavy rain. Many Mexican families whose frail houses were toppled over, were cared for by the citizens aud comfortably lodg ed in the public buildings. Tele graph wires were prostrated, and the extent of the damage 60Uth and west of here along the Kio Grande is not y i known. Brownsville, Sept. 23. The bur ricane appears to have become a reg ular visitor to this coast. Night be fore last one made a destructive de scent upon the two cities of Brown vilie and Matamoras. Just about a yeai and a day bad p.TS&ed since the Chubasco of 18SG, and tho remain der of :ho fuuds collected for tbe le lief of sufferers by the storm was lc ing dis'.rib'Jlcd, when tbrta'.ening sitins of an approach of another oi tueso awful vi.-itors was noted. Tbe telegraph, several days ago, gave no tice of a hurricane southwest of Ha vana and moving this way, and for two or three days tho weather indi cations showed the approach of a storm. Though the barometer and tide in the Gulf usually gavo warn ing of coming bad weather, this storm gave no indications of its im mediats approach. At 9 o'clock Tuesday evening, the norther, that had been blowing for several days, increased in fierceness with heavy gusts of rain, and in a short time the hurricane was on the towns in its full force, the wind reaching in the height of the storm a velocity of 78 miles an hour. All night long it cootinued howling, be ing mingled now and then with the crash of a falling house, the rending sound of falling trees, rattling of fences as they went over, and the shouts of those deserting tbeir crum bling residences or imploring aid. Morning dawned on a scene of des olation. Water filled tbo streets through which a roaring north wind drove tbe rain like great volleys oi small shot. Fallen trees, ruins of houses and fallen fence, all half sub merged in water, rendered passage difficult, and at limes dangerous. At 2.30 P. M. the wind lulled and there was almost a dead calm until 4:30 P. M., when the wind came from tbe south. This shows that tho vortex of the hurricane, as nas tbo c of those of 1S30 aud 18S6, passed direct ly over this section. About 9 P. M. tho wind again be camo violent, coming this time from the south, and continued until tbis morning, when tho hurricane may be said to have ceased, Tho duration of the storm may be safely calculated at thiity five hours The wind was from northeast, veer ing to northwest at the beginning, and from southwest during tbe lat ter half. The rainfall was very heavy, being 10.40 inches. Tbo av erage temperature was 72 degrees The velocity of tho wind, while it registered greater than that of last year, did not appear to show its force during sudden j;usts. Tho diameter of the storm was much greater, and its duration was longer than either that of 18S0 or 1SS6. Tho force was greater than that of tbe blow of the former vear, but not eo groat as that of thoonooflSSO. Tho fact that the bulk of people were belter prepared for its coming, and that tbe weaker buildings -had beenswej l' away by tbe storm of last year, was J the only reason for its not bang mo e ; destructive. What Is Needed to get Rid of Sin I-v -L'o you suppose that sin is to I e driven out of the human heart by some fine fancj, gome sentiment, some easy method? Until you know what bin is, the gospel will be an ex travagant and unnwaning tragedy. If there is a mystery in redemption, their is equally a mystery in sin This is the medicine that follows the disease. Herein is tho solution of tbe mystery of the Cross. The ghastly Cross follows tho ghastly fin ; the tragedy of redemption is God's answer to the tragedy of crime. You find nothing jn the atonement in the way of mysterv that you do noi nnu in the way of sin. God could not guide us away bv soft - - --ijajno oi neu. li could only bo done by blood. You have been thinking sin a trifle. 1 wonder not then yoa have been thinking the Cross a tragedj- ex travagant beyond tho necessity ol the case. If you have been calling tin "infirmity," "mistake," I wonder not that you are frightened by tbe awful transaclions'here in tho four gospels. You need tbe whole blood af tbo whole heart of tho dyb Sa vior to help yon get rid of sin aud to be delivered from its bondage. Dr. Joseph Parker. Demand for Water Wheels. "The day of the water wheel is over," said a large manufacturer. "1 don't know of any business that has suffered as much as ours from new inventions. Tho many excellent portable and gas engines that have been put on tbe market within the last few j ears have almost entirely superseded the cumbersome water wheel. Thero will undoubtedly ol ways bo a certain demand for wheels where tbey have alroaey been in on ration and where fbe water supply iL'Ood, but new factories find it cheaper to run by steam than to build mill dams. Tho new order of thinr no longer leaves tho manufacturer at the mercy of the elements. Fortunes have boon lost on forfeited contracts by mills having to closo down in the biisy season on account of long con tinued drought. 1 LV water wheel trado is now largely confined to for eign mp.-kets and new countries 1 bey disappear as population in creases and gas is introduced.
