Is THE K.\D AiTKOACIilM; ; 8oine Thought* .^u_*^es;ed l<> this Solemn In. <ju;ry. iu an euuwiui, uccks .vince. out; sentence reads thus: "Our ixjlicf is that our world's history is near the cad.'* Tn>; Daily (Columbia) Kkcoru quotes that sentence, and seems to think that a great many good people may be unreasonably disturbed by such declaration, and that they "would like to know w hat reasons we have for entertaining such a belief." To | this the editor of T-n: Recoup adds his j own wish that we "would give the public j the benefit of whatever information we; may have on the subject.'' Y?*e do not profess to have more informa- j tion than others have or might obtain from the Scriptures and the signs of the time^ ; as predicted in the Scriptures The advent of Christ will end the probation of the world. "We fix no hour, no day, nor year. Only the study of God's w<rd and the drifting signs of* the times lead us to the belief that the world is aoproaching an I unparalleled, crisis. Whether that crisis will be the end of the world or something else time will show. Some persons teach that certain things are yet to take place before the cvming of Christ, which tilings we are persuaded have already taken place. For instance: '"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."' Ps. ii. 8. This was cer-j tainly fulfilled in the coronation of the Son, when all power was given unto him in heaven and in earth. In many pin ts of the earth, not excluding parts of "Christendom," there rre millions of people who "will not have this man to rule.over them." Such are ignorantly or knowingly in rebellion against the King of kings. Many will ask: "is not the gospel to be preached in all the world before the end comes?" Has not this been done already? At the time of the Pentecost "there were dwelling at Jerusalem devout men out or every cation under heaven, v.ho saw and beard and understood the marvelous manifestations of that occasion. Representatively every nation then and there heard in their own language ali that the tongues of j fire spake. But there is Scripture more direet: "The hope "which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel: which is comeunto you, as it is in. till the <cvrld.'' Col. i. 5, G. "Be not move* away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which icax preached to eery creature which if under hcaccu." V. 20. 'Olave they not j heard? Yes, verily thiir sound went into nil the earth, and their words unto the end* of the world." Rozn. x. IS. If we have correctly explained and applied the Scriptures quoted?the giving of the uttermost psrts of the earth to the Son, and the preaching cf the gospel in all the world?then those events to which they refer are net between the present genera tion and the end of the world.?Christian JSeiglibor. Information About ike Pecan Tree. Columbia, S. C., January 17,1SST. Edixok of Kecokd: In reply to Mr. B. ?. H. and many ethers whose inquiries is regard to the pecan tree you have referred to me to answer, I think the following will about cover the ground in a general way: Ilo'.r propagated? By planting the nut? j the ordinary pecan nut of commerce?and by budding or grafting. They grow readily from the nut, but, owing to the depredations of the wood rat, it is almost impossible to get a stand: besides, -the trees would be as likely as not to yield thick shelled nuts of poor qualit}' and of little or no value. Nursery trees that have been selected from tne best, largest and earliest bearing varieties can be transplanted about as successfully as an}- fruit tree of the same I asre. and can be procured at a very mod-! erate figure. Kind of mi? The tree is of the same ; genus as the hickory unci will flourish any- j where the hickory grows. They will thrive j in almost any soil with little attention, but j much better results will be obtained when j planted in rich soil and well cultivated and ! msnured. Rich bottoms, if not too wet, | i?re excellent; but several trees noted for their large size and immense crops of fine j nuts are growing in elevated places and ; have received very little care. V*~iil they grow in this climate ? Mr. TV* B. Jones, in an article to the American j Agriculturist, says: "We recommend the ' culture of this tree very highly, as beinsr j likely to prove profitable from the Potomac ! and Ohio rivers southward." The few that | haye been cultivated in this State and Georgia ere far superior to all others, and are easily sold at "fancy prices " If" it profitable ' Mr. A. C. Daniel, of r>?n-,"! ii.-, c-.t-c hit > rem- n? tr.-fs at the back of Iris garden, from the largest of which he gathered "eleven bushels and one peck of nuts," which he "sold in Athens for ?45"?just $43 ^more than the average farmer makes cn an acre of cotton at present prices. 2>Ir. T. V. ilunson, of Dennison, Texas, says he values " well-grown trees of good ticds, 10 years old, at -$23. A:: acre (4S) of such trees would be worth ?1,200." There are fine specimens of the tree grcwing in almost all the son thorn States, from Virginia to Texas, which frequently betr fifteen bushels of fine nuis per tree, ana as they sell readily at from .s:> to $3 a bushel, the net income from a single tree is often more than from several acres of ordinary farm products. If the farmers cnly understood its merits, in a few years pecan j groves would be as popular and profitable j in ?,his State as oran ire groves now are in i Florida. 1 will cheerfully reply to any one seeking information bv letter.

Prof. Humphry, of Cambridge, has prepared a series of tables which contain some : interesting information about centenarians. ; Of G2 persons whom he mentions, at least j 11?two males and nine females?actually attained the age of 100. Others attained: very nearly to the 100years. Only one of the j persons reached 108, while one died at the ] alleged age of 10G. Of the 52 persons, 30 j were women and 10 men. Prof. Humphry ! tells us that the comparative immunity of j women from the exposures and risks to : which men are subjected, and the greater temperance in eating and drinking exhibited by women are ihe chief points in determining their higher chances of longevity. Out pi the 30 women 20 had been married, and | had Iprne large families. Of the 20 vho had been wives eight had married be tore they were 20, $nd 1?, and two at 17. Twelve of iiie 03 centenarians were a?S:; covered to have been the eldest children of I their parents. This fact, adds Dr. Humph- j ry, cloi's not agree with popular notions i that .he first children inherit a feebleness 1 of consljlytion, nor with the opinion of j racing stibles, which is dccidedly against' the idea that "firstlings" are to be depended j on fur good performances on the course, i The centenarians generally regarded were : of spare' build. Gout and rheumatism wer3, as a rule, absent. "It seems,''* says Professor Humphry, "that the frame which is destined to great age needs no such prophylactics, and engenders none of tbe present humors for which the finger joints (as in may find a vent." Of the o-i aged people, 24 only had no teeth, the average number of teeth remaining being four or five. Long hours of sleep were soluble among these old people, the period of repose aycraging nine hours; whiie out of door exercise in plenty and early rising are to be noted among the factors of a prolonged life. One of the centenarians "drank to excess on festive occasions;'' another was a "free beer drinker" and "drank like a fish during his whole life.*' Twelve had been total abstainers 'twrffl;' qr><] filmrisf. nil were "srcali caters." j Xo man ever acknowledges a mistake so quickly :ts when he puis the lighted end cf a cigar in his mouth.

Adam Smith says that men are naturaly unsentimental. A man will <coop the bottom out of an egg without thinking that the mother of th;it egg is, perhaps, a 100 miles away, in the rain. A lamb can distinguish its mother's cry among a hundred similar sounds. It is the same wi;h a boy, but it may be remarked, cri p<munt, that the boy doesn't pay the same attention to the cry that the lamb does.

C., January 17.?Last month Mr. W. A. Mauoey, the leading merchant of King's Mount 11"n a^d a rich widower, whose first wife died 10 months ago, was married at G rover, a town just over the South Carolina line, privately, to Mis* Conic Hoke. K. Iv. Roberts, notary public, performing the ceremony. The marriage' was kept secret. Miss Hoke's own brother aacf children of the groom did not know anything of the marriage. A Miss Emma Coolidge, who has attained an unenviable reputation in the Courts and in J society, and who is of no kin to either the j bride or groom, appears to have been much j mixed up in the ciandcsiine jnarriage. A j few days after the marriage the bride and Miss Coolidge left King's Mountain and were tlic guests in that city of the rich bro her-in law of Miss Colidgc. A few days after arriving in Philadelphia Mr. Mauuey received a telegram sayins: that his wife was dangerously ill of pneumonia. | lie hastened 5>'orth and when he reached [ Philadelphia he found his bride cold in I death. Last week the daad bride was brought home and sleeps in the cemetery at Xfug's .Mountain. Rumors of foul play in connection with this case are rife. It is said that the Ifcdy of .Mrs. Mauney will be exhumed and a postporteia examination will be had for the purpose of ascertaining if there was foui play in Philadelphia. Nothing has so excited the people of the vicinity of Grover and King's Mountain in many years. Laws of the State. ? I'ilOTEOI iON" FROM FOUESI FIRES.

In the extreme southwest corner'of Louisiana lies the largest protlncinjc farm in tl:p world. It runs 100 miles liortli and south and twenty- fire miles east and west, i and is owned and operated by a syndicate of northern capitalists. Their general manager. ?J. 15. Wutkins, gives an interesting account of this gigantic plantation, which throws the great Dalryinple farm of Dakota into the shade completely. He was cornered by a reporter at the St. James hotel last- night and asked to give ; the particulars of his gigantic enterprise. | "The million and a half acres of land in our tract." Mr. Wat kins said, "was puri chased in from the sate of Louisiana ; and from the United States government. At that time it was a vast grazing land j for the cattle of the few dealers of the : neighborhood. When I took possession I i found over 00,000 head cf lialf wild horses I and cattle.

Ready Coolccd Santlay JTcals. The commonest sight of early Sunday morning in the cheaper quarters of an English city is th? people carrying their dinners to the bakers to be cooked in their ovens. When the last batch of bread is drawn the ovens are tilled with joints and poultry, which arc delivered, at a moderate price, piping hot- for the table. Years ago, in smaller communities, the practice was observed here, but I never encountered It In New York until the other Sunday. It was on the east side, in a populous tenement district, that I came on a profession of women, girls and boys carrying all styles and sizes of baking dishes into a bakery. The cconomy of the practice is obvious. It saves the building and the keeping of u fire and the | trouble yf housework on what is possibly ! the ho isewife's one holiday of the week. I The baker told mc that he does a brisk | triide in dinner cooking In hot weather, j When^the mercury 1 >c comes dispirited and I fires become a necessity, the business ex periences a sensible diminution, but there is still considerable of it going the year round. Tlii* providing of ready cooked meals is another growing trade. The cooked rr.eat .shop is as notable a feature of Paris as the bakery dinner is of England. It has existed and thriven here for a long while, principi Uy by the patronage of theFrcncli and German population. Latterly, however, it has taken a wider popularity among the natives. One dealer in cooked meats now runs several shops in various parts of the city, and new men in the ; business are constantly springing up. : Many people vfLylivcin flats rely on these | shops for the solid portions of their meals, ! only cooking vegetables or fancy dishes j at home. It does not save any money j directly, probably, but I fancy it is made I to serve the purpose of dispensing with a i servant, and so is a definite gain in the ! long run.?Alfred Trumble in New York | News. Archer and the Surgeon. Archer, having been bitten or otherwise ! injured by a horse on one occasion, called on Sir James Paget. The eminent snr| geon having bound up his wound, Archer i requested to know how long it would take to heal. "Oh," said Sir James, "I think in three or four weeks yon will be all right.'' "But shall I be fit for the Derby?" asked Archer. "Ye-cs," was the reply. "Oh, yes! I | think yon may go to the Derby." "2s"o, but you don't quite understand me, Sir James," persisted the jockey. "I mean shal I be fit to ricie?" "Well, I don't know," was the answer. "Better drive, better drive!" Archer, rather t aken aback by this very innocent and unexpected rejoinder, had to explain. "I am afraid. Sir James, you I scarcely realize who I am?" ".No, said tlie surgeon politely, refer ; riug to the patient's visiting card. "I see | I have the honor of receiving Mr. Archer, | but" "Well,5' said Archer, "I suppose I may say that what you are in your profession, j Sir James, that-1 am in mine," and proi ceeded to tell him what that profession j was. The famous surgeoi:., on learning the status of his visitor, was at once greatly interested and asked him eagerly mauy questions, among others: What would be his : jss > apposing lie should be unable to fulfil the Derby engagement? to which Archer replied: "About ?2,000." His average annual income he stated to be about ?$.000; upon wlueh Sir James is said to have remarked: "You may well say that what I am in my profession that you are in yours. I only wish that my profession were hall as profitable as yours."?Pall Mall Gazette. I, IllvH Lliil'ltC VliU.

Quite recently he burned his fingers while engaged in this somewhat nnkingly pursuit. The poor fellow is very anxious to see his capital, and when lie, whiie driving in the*;rounds of the palace, catchcs a glimpse of the spires and chimneys of Munich he implores the servants to take him there.
