At the re cent municipal eloet'on in Fdlis. of that State, the women elected a woman mayor and four women h inemhers of the city council. The women are in it to deal with the whiskey question. They asked that some attention he paid to the liquor regulation and were dis regarded ; o they asserted their rights at the j'olls, many men hemg carried over hy the hlandisliments of the softer sex politicians. It is a great pity that vro cannot learn to utilizo tilings instead of des troy them. Now that a greater part of the timber in many sections is con sumed, it is learned that sawdust may be made into fuel blocks. The Phila delphia L'tf'rr recently said : "Sawdut is turned into transporta ble fuel in (Jermany by a very simple process. It is heated under hitch steam pressure until t lie resinous, ingredients become sticky, when it is pressed into brick. One man with a two-horse power machine can turn out 9,000 bricks a day." Another illustration of the folly of overdoing things is seen in the condi tion of Halbertstown, N. J. It was es tablished in 1S'.2, says the Witfss, and f 100,000 was spent in the venture. Now the whole town is to be fold un der the sheriff's hammer to satisfy judgments of 140,000. The sale will include fifty dwelling houses, a large factory, and f,000 acres of land. Of late years North Carolina has not fallen into many ruch mistakes. Let us hope that all our improvements may be permanent, even if slow. "Wonder treads upon the heel of wonder" now if it never has before. Professors II. P. Pratt and Hugo Wight man of Chicago have announced that the X-rays aasolutely destroy the germs of diphtheria and typhoid fever. They applied the rays to tubes m which these germs were collected and the germs direct under the rays were mas sacred outright, and the germs on the edge were so stunned that they did not stir in ten days. Prof. Pratt said if this application of the Roentgen rays is made on a patient it will destroy the germs of the disease. It is said to be the most important discovery made in a decade.

Advices to the pi ess from Washing ton point to an early adjournment of Congress. It is now thought that it will not be later than 3Iay l"th. The Senators and Representatives raiipt think it necessary for them to get home and "repair their fences." And this is one of the strongest arguments that could be made for less frequent elec tions. Men who want to go back (and all do) have their time and attention too much divided between their duties in representing the people and making arrangements for their renomination and election. Tin-: Democrat says elect Congressmen not oftener than once in four years. The principles' of the christian relig ion ought to be the great break-water against the high waves ot dissension in times like these. During a political campaign party spirit sometimes runs hiuh. and even bodily invades the holy precincts ot church organizations. In many places in North Carolina this was the case in the campaign of ISO L We have seen nothing more com commendable than the action of the West Chowan Baptist Union Meeting, hose resolution Rev C.

IV. We feaw in former communications that all the Missionary Societies were organized in the closing years of the last, and the beginning ot the present century, and that anything like an or ganized effort by the churches to give the world the gospel is jii-t about one hundred years old. This is the mis sionary century or the christian church. J-et us note, in a general way, some of the results. Most readers do not like figures and I will not burden you with them ; but let the christian worker look on the following and rejoice while the mot skeptical should be convinced. The figures given are for 1801 and are re liable. In this year the three him dred and four Missionary Societies and agencies had in the different mission fields of the world .".OOI missionaries; 21 lo unmarried female missionaries; 37:i0 native ministers; 40,-138 native helpers ; 1,108, "00 communicants ; while the number of natives under daily Bible instruction in mission schools of all kinds is not short of one million. One of the most significant of all the result?, alike in itself and its meaning for the future, Is that there are nearly four thousand native mission aries and pastors ; in the older mission lields, like that of India, the natives exceed the foreign ordained mission aries in numbers. The increase of na tive communicants, alike from the con version of adults, the development, of the native churches goes on at a re markable ratio. The christian com munities, not communicants, in all the mission fields have reached upward of ten millions of souls. In some almost pvprv eonvert becomes n misionarv. m one cause or another. Much greater care is exercised in bringing people in to the church than in christian coun tries, hence a large per cent. iA them is ready to minister for Christ. They are his witnesses. About one hundred years ago when Early wrote his enquiry, which was in the beginning of Modern Missions, there were more than four times as many non-christians a? christians. Auw there are just twice as many, and the spiritual conquests of the non-Christian world by the Christ of the gospels are going on at an almost geometrical ratio. The church olhcials-Missionary Secre taries have been informed through Thos. R. Jernigan,(a Xorth Carolinian) V. S. Consul General, Shanghai, China, that the emperor of the Chinese Em pire has issued an order removing all restrictions upon the propagation ot the christian religion m China, and in structing the local authorities in all provinces of the empire to expunge from the various editions and com illa tions of the Chinese code, any claims placing restrictions upon the propaga tion of the christian religion. What a great change since Robt. Morrison, the first Protestant Mis.-ionary landed there in 1807, and could only remain as the employe of the East India Com pany, and translated the Bible in their language and compiled its dictionary and grammar. j V n fid t,,".' r i' . i The wait wa- ir.tro-lu'-e-i into Kn I gland much earlier thai; lsU.

A lew days afterward the child disappeared, and for four years had not been heard of. It is reported that last month a party of McDowell people, hunting hogs on the Huntsville Moun tain, were suprised to see herding with them a something like a human being. It was a human being, with hair all over his body, his toe nails grown un der his feet, and his hands grown m the shape of claws.
