This accounts for the turning away i
of good people from all things of a'
strictly worldly character. It is not
merely, therefore, the exercise of
Phariseeism, as some suppose, but
an opposition excited by the prompt-

"'s' y i'imvci melt muics nitj ues-! iiaw ueeu curroDorated by obser

ly to be seen by some and
you could not make some believe
that the preaching of Mr. Pearson
and the better Christian feeling that
peivades, just now, our town and
county, had anything to do with
the small crowd that.turned out on
Monday .to see the course exhibi
tions of the circus. But this fact ' is
also in striet conformity with the
provisions of Him who opens- the
penitent's eyes that he may see. All
will.never be able to see. The world's
highway is crowded with the obsti
nate, the listless, the blind, theunbe
lieving. Their faith is mere creduli
ty, and their conscience have no reflex
action. They believe in the things
of this world and their consciences
approve what they ! believe. They
constitute a majority in everv com

so they will pass over the river.

We know of no better time tha
present to press this matter, Om
community has just been thoroughly
awakened on the vital importance
of Christian duties. Let this feeling
die away, or relapse into the usual
monastic state, and it will be diih
cult to secure that co-operation so
essential to the success of the enter
prise desired. Then, energy and per
sistency now may accomplish much:
to neglect them may prove disas
trous in more-' ways than one.
This Association is an active agen
cy tor good. As an auxiliary to the
churches and (he Sunday schools, it
cannot be neglected without injiuy
to them. It reaches many, and per.
haps exerts an influence over some,
that the others do not. It inculcates
the positive virtues as coniradistiu-'
guished from monasticism ; and ils
members are made un, for the most
arl, of young, active Christians who
are willing to go out into thehede
md on the highways to gather in
he listless aicd indiflerent. They do
not merely set an example in mo-
ality, but of active, progressive,
Christian virtue in well doing.
As. Prof. Thomas Davidson says :
'There is no positive virtue what
ever in obeying the Ten Command
ments, or any number of command
ments, telling us to refrain from cer-
ain courses of action. There is sim
ply absence of vice. Virtue consists
n doing good, notin refraining from
evil. There is no generosity in pay

1 e left, in consequence, without a
penny. Cenerosiiy begins where
a man piveswhat positively 'belongs
to biin his money, or bis moral and
intellectual sympathy and help.
And so witii the other virtues."
1 he spiritual deadlier of these
times, the fertil source of nearly all
the other evils which trouble us ss a
people, are, in a very huge measure,
due to want of activity and the lack
of zeal on the part of professing
Christians. Since we have an agen
cy among us that is not only active,
but zealous, it should be sustained
and encouraged at whatever cost;
and we believe, if our good people
are properly "appealed to, they will
do ii.
The promotion of Christian organ
isations is held to be the best means
to advance the cause of morality, of
law and order, of peace and harmo
ny, prosperity and virtue, to say
nothing of the glorious rewards that
await such efforts in the world be
yond the grave.

When Sir Walter' Scolt came to

of Jordan. Either in the Old or New

Rosamond's locks were a yellowish

Cleopatra had red hair and was

The girl with red hair should be
proud of herself.
The Petroleum Industry.
Mr.. Charles Marvin, one of the first
to direct attention to the Russian
petroleum fields at Baku, in speaking
lately of the transference of petroleum
in bulk, said that America was at pres
ent the principal petroleum power. By
the development of the petroleum fields
at Baku Russia had recently sprung
into the position of the second petroleum
power, and Mr. Marvin thought that
England should come to the front and
occupy the third position as soon as
possible. By the annexation of King
Theebaw's dominions she had come in
possession of the Burmese petroleum
fields, and he thought steps ought 'to be
taken at once by the. Indian govern
ment to survey these fields and so throw
them open to British capital and enter
prise. Within the last few years, since
the extension of the railway, consid
erable petroleum deposits had been
discovered in Beluchistan, but he re
gretted that the Indian government
had decided to make them a crown
monopoly. Still more recently petroleum
in abundance had been discovered in
Egypt. Since he wrote in IC32 of the
Caspian petroleum fields eighty steam
ers had been placed on that inland sea
to carry oil in fcmks from Baku to
the mouth of the Volga, and on the
Volga there were upward of a hundred
vessels running. At prent nearly all
the petroleum arriving in Europe from
America was brought in barrels; "sev
eral steamers were, however, being con
structed on the Tyne for the purpose of
carrying petroleum in bulk.
Iced Water in Japan.
Although the Japanese never stored
or used ice until the advent of foreign
ers, they have taken to the use of it
since then with alacrity, and are as bad
a? Americans for drinking ice water.
Men with portable stands slung over
their shoulders perambulate the streets
night and day, crying: "Kori! kori!
kori!" (ice! ice! ice)! Their chief pat
rons are the jinrickisha men, who
have most ready money and are spend
thrifts by nature. The kori ma'ji,
when called, sets down his stand,
produces a lump of ice, shaves it as
fine as snow over a plane. It is then
mixed with sugar and sold at two or
three rings (an eighth of a cent) a glass,
to the panting jinrickisha men. This
mixture, which they themselves aptly
call shiro uki (white stuff or snow),
is not bad, and the newly arrived for
eigner, when out of the sight of other
loreigners, is not averse to indulging
in it.
There is art in pride; a man might
as soon learn a trade. Those who were
not brought up to it seldom proved
their craftmaster.
When Mr. Tucker heard Chief Jus
tice Waite deliver the opinion of the
Supreme Court on the petition for
writ of error, he must have thought
"how stupid I have been." Not on
ly did a Republican Supreme Court
refuse to grant the writ applied for,
but it' sustained and unanimously
the very jury law of State of Illinois
that Mr tucker had given as his
opinion, was unconstitutional. Here
we have the humilitating spectacle
of a life long, strict constructionist
overthrown in the first tilt against
Constitution, and by the well aimed
lance of the Republican Chief Justice.
Alas! alas! Wilmington Star.
In Dale county, Alabama, a very
horrible punishmentfwas visited
upon two colored rascals who as
saulted Miss Fralish, a daughter of
one of the most prominent planters.
They were burned to death, being
chained between two logs. Their
cries were most pitiful. Wilming

When Gen. Phil. Cook came to be
introduced to Miss Winnie Davis,
she was presented as the "Daughter
of the confederacy." The gallant
General was led captive at odco by
ner neauty and winniug grace, and,
extending his hand, he said: Miss
Winnie, I am a widower; please en
roll me as a candidate for the posi
tion of son-in-law of the Confeder
acy." Atlanta Letter to the Augus
ta Chronicle.
When Prof. Drummond was ask
ed, "Are the leading scientists in
G reat Britain an tagonistic to Christi
anity" his answer was: "The trend
of religious thought is in the right
direction. There has been a great
change in the last few years. There
are many humble disciples of our
.uora in the Universities. The sue
cessor of Huxley to the highest chair
in the Royal Society of London is

Rerd about the prospects of Elaine

pects of Cleveland for re-nomination.
Read how much the Republican
party has done for the people. Read
how much the Democratic parly is
doing for the people now.
And then if you want something
real bright and cheerful like, just
read about some happy debtor who
has "busted" in business by having
"too much. money" outside the U. S.
treasury; or the fate of some poor
devil tramp who has committed sui
cide because he found "plenty work";
or about the women and children
who will be freezing and starving to
death from over production of fuel
and breadstuffs.
Then go to bed and dream sweet
dreams about the taxes you have to
pay; and about the little mortgage
on your farm, the interest ou which
nccumulates even while you are
dreaming.
But above all, in your dreams,
whether by night or by day, don't
forget to laugh at the Union Labor
party, 'and call the Knights of Labor
"communistr" and "anarchists."
