Mrs Kane i, read her confession before a great mulII titude in the Academy of Music, and afterward produced raps loud enough to be heara all over the hall. She says that she lied when she declared that the raps were made by spirits, and the a Spiritualists says she lies now, But ? she not only says that they were made, e but shows how it is done, which proves ? that she tells the truth now. Thirty years ago she was detected by scientir fie tests in making the raps just as she y now says she did. Several years ago i. the late Dr. George M. Beard, Dr. I. n K. Funk, and the writer tested her, a and ascertained how her raps were a made. Yet the Spiritualists will not I* be undeceived. The only value of such ? exposures is to warn those whose t brains are not already addkd. a The Philadelphia Times says there f exists a popular delusion that the Quale kers?at least the old-time, broade brimmed, sugar-scoop Quakers?are ? dying out. It is not so in Philadelt phia. Ten or twenty years ago people * said the same thing, but the high? backed benches in the meeting-houses are as full now as then. The truth is, that, after codiietincr with "worldly" n ways and fastiions for a season, the young generation of Friends underL. go a reaction, and gradually fall into r, the same austere life, even to the j plain garb of their grandfathers and grandfathers.

The Richmond Terminal has at last scooped the Georgia Central sys tein. The deal has been predicted for some time, and the war that has been apparently carried on between the two systems was nothing less than a farce. The people of the South are literally at themercy of this great corporation, and we can only hope that its own business interests, with something over 9,000 miles of ' road, will give the people fair and living rates. The Port .Royal and Western Carolina Ruilway being a part of the Central System goes in the deal and the 1 advantages of low rates now being enjoyed by Greenwood, Anderson, Green- ; vine anu spartanuurg, as competing points, will soon be a thing of the past. No one can predict the eflect, the deal i will have.-but u railroad is not likely to discriminate in favor of any one of < its branches in the way of low freights, and we expect to .?ee a change in rates to all competing points at no distant 1 day. John li. Inman, President of the Bichmond Terminal will bo selected as comander-in-chief, to direct and govern the vast interests involved. He is the acknowledged king of the American Cottol! market, and is in financial circles, the most influential Southerner living in New York. It is said that he is well qualified for the position and equal to the responsibility of the trust. ] The people of this section are more directly interested in the question as to who will have charge of the Central System's portion of the road. It is said that President Alexander was on the side that wa3 routed, and a , move is now on foot to restore Mr. W. ' G. Eaoul to the Presidency. Mr. ' Itaoul isnowPresideut of the Mexican i Central, and he is supported by the new owners of the Georgia Central, j The election will take place in January next, and there will likely be a 1 contest for the Presidency. I Mr. 8. M. Huckabee of this place and Miss Cora Hawthorne of Latimer, were married at Rocky River church on the evening of the 23rd at three (3) o'clock by Rev. W. S. Martin.

Quite a number of relatives and friends witnessed the ceremony, after which the couple left for the home of Mr. J. \V. Huckabee, where a reception was given them.

Franklin once said something i like this,?that he who would bring i the principles of primitive Christianity into practice in the affairs of daily | i:r.? ..1,1 /lrv 1 -.1? nit" wuum uu uiuiu iui liuiiiauiiy man any other. Is not this an indictment of Christians for failure to live the religion they profess? That may or may not be. Let us imagine, if we can, business and national affairs as conducted under the law of love. Preposterous? Of course. Is not ours a great nation, and shall we hesitate to increase our borders? AVlil we not give to these people we subdue a good government and the Bible. A fair exchange is no robbery, and for the higher good we confer we receive, perhaps, Home small return in added revenues, that is only justice surely. The Christianizing of the people is our chief object, who then would say us nay? And millions and millions are drawn from terrorized men, free salvation being offered in return?those who propose and force the "fair exchange" being more careful to exact the former than to give the latter in return. Barbarians! say these Christian citizens. What know they of the proper uses of wealth? Let civilization have it for the propagation of the blessed Gospel. And straightway the barbarians are 3ome of them killed, others imprisoned, and the remainder become tributary to their Christian brethren. How unlike true statesmanship, how blind to national glory to pursue a different "policy." To give those barbarians the blessed gospel without exicting a fair return would have been unsound policy," to teach them self- , government rather than exercise over | them a direct Christian influence?un- j jxampled folly. ( And what wildest folly to carry this ( principle into business. Business is business, which usually means I'll take what I can get, you are welcome to the remainder. Does the application in business of this principle of [ove mean that we are to give for "value received" as much as we can ? Abjurd ! Of course it is. Who ever tieard the like? Such folly would wreck our whole "financial system." Sive as little and take as much as the law allows, and give less and take more t it is psssible.

His ',0m meaning, as gathered from the drift of bis speech, was that such would be Vj-JH the advancement of the art of war and the perfection of war weapons that going into battle would be next to cer- ' v'':W& tain death. This state of things, Gensral Sheridan thinks, would induce or jompel nations or governments to *^8 idopt arbitration. So it might, and riyM jo, we suppose, it would. But are na:ions to go on slaughtering each other jntil the war system Alls its cup to running over with its own horrible iniquit?, and the warring nations be3ome drunk and sick on blood and, i drunken man staggering in his vomit," fall on the platform of Arbitra tion! Thus after a long and worse '>;/$? jurriculum of murder the nations would of necessity avail themselves of i plan by which murders in war would * ; ! 20me to an end and this too by the identical plan which wisdom would have chosen at the beginning and /twMm thereby prevented the intervening > igesof folly and human slaughter. The far-seeing General failed to pre- . iict the probable number of decades aefore the millennium would cone to ? oasa. The way to hasten its coming would be to give increased attention 'vreW to the improvement of the varied enfinery of war and test the Improved ieath dealing instruments in battles >n land and sea. But it is likely that peoples who -4||B would quit war on General Sheridan's jonditiou of things?fear of being* billed rather than fear of breaking the . ? aw "Tlipu shalt not kill" would, berMfffl 'ore a great while, forget the horrors )f war and be willing to risk their ives in their effort to destroy their' ;j|m 'enemies." Like the dog and-'^ftjjflj 3is vomit and the sow and the nire, they would "turn again to folly." But as war in theory, spirit and? *r||jS practice is opposed to the true, the ight and the good in the Christian re- A-taHl igion it is not to be wondered at that ;5aSL i man like General Sheridan shoold iquint at preventive arbitration and ihut his eyes against the light of Chrisiunity which condemns his profession, .: lis record, his fame and his bloody heory of post arbitration. "Shall we B lo evil that good may come ?" The late session of the Presbyterian Synod of South Carolina held at {'tpM Greenwood, developed a division of udgment among the ministers and - Ja ilders tts to the extent of the respect vhich the decision of the General As- " '^^ffl lembly should have over a Presbytery md Synod in the evolution question. _||| rhere were some able speeches made, >ro et con, but it does not appear to us ^ hat there was any change of opinion ' >JS is a result.
