Of course stock elders could expect no dividends ?*?'-f^r the first year or two, or until all - their assessments were paid in, which - would require 50 months. The prof its from the mill would have to go to ? paying interest and getting a surplus <fund that is always necessary in such enterprises. This is the Spartanburg - plan, and suits men who do not have vc ; much ready money at a time. Some comm on i ties might prefer to make a |^.; share $25.00, and then all the stock :-? would be paid in 25 months. Should *? the shares be fixed at $100 it would require-100 months for the payment. ^S^Bqtrmcsses ofthat sort the profits of ^ r tte milt might enhance the value of the* shares so that they would be ; worth $100.00 in 75 to 85 months. The advantage of this plan is that it -v enables many persons to take stock | f?.r who would not think of subscribing to a colton mill in which all the rooney would be demanded iu two or three installments.- Carolina Spar* ian. i- ?

SAX FRANCISCO, April 23.-The steamer City of New York, which ar? rived yesterday from China, brings detail? of an earthquake in Yunnan, I The Prefect cf Lin An, with Chi | liens of Ship Ping and T?ien Shut { under him, have jointly reported to j the Governor of Yunnan as follows : j From the second day of the twelfth j month of last year till the third day of this year there were over ten shocks of earthquake, " accompanied by a noise like thcuder. Yamend in ?he cities of Ship Ping and Kien Shui j were either knocked down or_ split right down, and the temples likewise. ; In'Ship Ping eight or nine-tenths of I the houses in the South are falling down, and half of those in the East ; Si the Northwest thousands are being cracked or bent-out of perpendicalar. Two h mid red people-men and wo? men, old and ycung-were crushed to death, and over 300 were wounded and injured At Tung Iliang over 800 were crushed to death and about TOO or | t$00 wounded. At Nang Hang there are over 200 dead and over 400 injured. At Si Iliang there are over? 200 ? dead and over 500 injured.

In Mien Shin, in (he city, seven ! were killed and many wounded ; in j the northwest suherb 300 to 400 ? honses were overturned, 249 people were killed and 150 or 160 wounded. The Wrong Card. . A curious blunder was witnessed in this vicinity, not many weeks since, during a christening. The clergyman proceeded with the cere? mony until it was necessary to ?am?; the child. The godfather, as usual in Buch cases, had written the name of - the child on a card, and pieced it in his pocket. When the ceremony had reached this point, he dived into iris vest pocket and handed out the card. The clergyman took it, glanced over it and a look of horror came over his ? face. The godfather turned as.! red as the gills of a turkey gooier, went down into his pocket again, hauled ont another card, handed it to the clergyman and received it? return the one he had first given the good / man. The ceremony then proceeded without further interruption. The card he had first handed to the cler? gyman read : 'I am somewhat of a Har myself/-Summer cille News.

EDITED BY J. T. "WILDER. Questions and Answers. LET THEM COME. 1 GRAMMAR. We are as near to heaven by sea as by land. Spiders have eyes all over their heads, in order (hat they may see in many directions at the same time. Parse the words iii italics, v The above is a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause. Spi? ders have eyes all over their heads is the independent clause ; in order that they may see in-many directions at the same time, the independent clause used as an adverbial modifier, denot? ing purpose. lu order that, is a con? junction connecting the two clauses. M. A. S., Teacher.

Ready made suits, of material, outland trimmed handsomely, by an experienced tailor * are bought and offered cheap. These corrections have been sent in from the Lincoln School, each of which is open to criticism either in obscurity or ambiguity or both. They seem to savor of a species of ambi? guity called by the French a "Squint? ing Construction" In the first cor? rection the ambiguity is such as to render it almost impossible to deter? mine whether the suits were cut or the material, or whether the suits, material, or tailor was handsomely trimmed. The latter part of the sen? tence is faulty by reason of obscurity. The second correction is a .clear violation of clearness. The third correction is open'to the same objections as the first. The senteuce may be made clear by recasting it, thus*: Ready made 6uits which were bought at a bargain, are offered cheap*. They are cut of the mateiial, by an experienced tailor, and are handsomely trimmed. Tojhe JSditorlqf Teachers Column: *^ . DEAR SIR: Please allow another pupil of Stateburg school-to send in1 answers to two of the questions pro? posed, \ One of these questions has not yet been answered at all, and the answer given to the other, I think is incorrect. Excluding repetition there are forty six separate and distinct parables in the New Testament ; of which twenty one may be found in Matthew, five in Mark, and twenty in Luke. Includ? ing repetitions there are sixty four parables in the first three Gospels, whilejn the Gospel of St. John there are none. Which is longer, Pacific Rail Road ? or the Atlantic Cable ? If "Pacific railway" be meant to j include the continuous line from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the railroad is several hundred miles the longer. The cable is about.2.300 miles long, while the distance from New York to San Francisco is about 3,000 miles. ?. C. A. Where and how often does the word "girl" occur iu the Bible ? K. C. A.

Pestalozzis First Principle. "Teaching is a science, and may be reduced to pr?uciple, as any other science or profession. Pestalozzi re? duced the practice of teaching to nine principles, one of which I wish to state and discuss briefly. Of course there can be no ruies given that will suit in every case ; and no two teachers will act alike nuder the same circumstances, but there are general principles that ail must use as grand touchstones. No teacher can be entirely successful and vio? late any of these. Pestalozzis first was : " 'Activity is a law of childhood ; accustom the child to do-educate the hand.* "What a grand truth ! Activity is a law of nature, and of course a law of childhood. Uow busy is every creature that acts in accordance with nature. From the rippling streamlet to the mighty river ; from the least flower to I he most gigantic oak ; from the smallest worm to ?he fiercest beast-all is action, ACTION. SO with man. From the cradle to the grave life, successful life, must be full of I action. > aturo begins this action iii childhood. Watch the little fellow before he can turn from his position on his back. His hands are in con? stant motion during ali hivS waki?:" I hours. This action and desire to j mow and do something inc?case with ! his years. There are no idle children, j Verily, activity ;s a law of childhood: Now try the school Ly this principle ? What were its commands ? ??ii st Ul. ; and study. Be quiet ! Keep order ! j Learn your lesson! What futile commands ! and how many t mr's : have they been disregarded? As j many as given. Why ? Because j violative of one of nature's laws. As j wei i try to check the mighty stream j in its onward course as try t<> compel j a child to sit still and stu dj'. Let it ! act. It must act O-ly direct its activity. Give it something to do. Accustom the child to do. With slate and pencil, and chalk and board, . and picure and object keep the | child busy. The child wii! act. It must do, and if you do not keep it j busy it will keep you busy. ?Educate the hand. Doing must come before j thinking. Dave your children to j work, work, work ; but let them j think it is play. How differently ' this from sitting, op a bench and , ?Li VV UTX^ JL ^ learning A. As opposite as day and night. How foolish to think a child from five to eight years old can stndy. Many:of them of twenty cannot. Ed? ucation must come by doing, hence the child is better off at home where he can do, than in the old fashioned school where he is restrained from doing. The teacher'^ whole duty is to direct the child's activity. Keep him doing, but doing something useful." "Let every man read, fonder and take comfort y for wc are all prisoners of kofe." "BILL AEFS" JOY UPON* READING MILLENNIAL D?WN, THE "PLAN OF THE AGES/'* * .' *"~ rOW AND COMFORT FOR ALL THINKERS. HEAD HTS COMMENTS. (From Atlanta Constitution.] A kind lady has sent me a book of 350 pages called "Millennial Dawn," published by the Tower Publishing Co., in Pittsburg, Pa-, which will, I believe, awaken the think- " ing world. I see that its sale is already over , twenty-five thousand. It is impossible to ? read this book without loving the writer and j pondering his wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives. There is hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the j church--outside the plan of salvation and if j Calvinism be true outside of all hope and in- j side of eternal torment and despair. We smother our feelings and turn away from the horrible picture. We dare not deny the faith j of our fathers, and yet can it be possible that the good mother and her wandering child are forever separated-forever and forever? I believe it is the rigidity of these teachings that makes atheists and infidels and skeptics makes Christians unhappy and brings their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave-a lost child, a lost soul ! Let us see how many lost souls. The geog? raphers give the world a present population of fourteen hundred million? of whom only one hundred and sixteen million are Christians, that is, who live in Christian countries. Of these, only sixteen million are adult members of the church ; and of these, about one million walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. That is a beautiful picture.-Only one million of truly good, pious Christian people in all the world, and thirteen hundred and ninety-nine millions who are elected to be eternally damned. Add to these figures one hundred and forty-two billions, who have already lived and died in the ages past, and if all these are damned, it does look like God's plan of salva? ron was a miserable failure, ile gets one soul for glory while Satan captures thousands. This wonderful book teaches that trial is yet :o come-that all are to rise from the dead ?hen Christ comes, that He will offer His sal? tation to all people ; not only to the living, dut to those who risc from the dead. His lingdom will be supported by the saints and yy good people everywhere, and the mother ?rill have another chance to reclaim her wan? len ng child and bring him unto the kingdom. Ibis wonderful book makes no assertions that ire not well sustained by the- Scriptures. It s built up stone by jrtone, and upon every ?tone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid of Sod's love, and mercy, and wisdom. There s nothing in the Bible that the author denies ar doubts, but there are many texts that he ?nows a flood of light upon that seems to un? cover its dark and gloomy meaning. I see mat editors of .leading journals, and many * srthodox ministers of different denominations, aave indorsed it and have confessed to this aew and comforting light that has dawned apon the interpretation of God's book. Then let every man read and ponder and take com? fort, for we are all prisoners of hope. This s an age of advanced thought and more thinking is done than ever before,-men dare :o think now. Light-more light, is the watchword. BILL ARP, The truths set forth in the above described work so bench* tted me, so opened my eyes to God's great, just, loving, wise plan, and so opened the Bible i'-efore me, that with otheis who have read .mid been caused to ?ec, I have conc-u>:ed tc Spend such means and strength as I possess in pr.ssxg this cup of icfrcshirj: truth to other thirsty souls.
