New Vobk, April 10-?Every thoughtful R. cbscrver of ihc sigucs of the limes must be g aw are that there is abroad in tha land a spirit of critical philosophy with reference to 1 eligious questions ond the general attitude of Christianity. In the progress of eivliza tion there nppears to have been developed 51) u larger keenness of research, a greater die DQgilAnr fo in<pifa,e ,e.v<d analyse, and Mnw -J"~ dency to cunire individual. *Mfl matters that heretofore bavo iffl mined by authority of the church or are ruled ' by the creeds. To some the world appears opi to be growing better a'l the time. To others 1 it is plainly retrograding, and discussions M iu botli the secular and religious press plainly show wide differences of opinion. re llcv. Dr. Robert MncArthur, of the Beptist church, in answer to the general question, ? ' Is Christianity Advancing?" replied as follows: "Without doubt Christianity is advancing a'ong many lines. To a careful observer this must appear very evident. Christianity has in itself the element of progress. The moral, i o'igious and educational forces which are at work strougly point to the fact that Christianity is constantly gaining ground. ?_ 1, I,,i,r,A,i | , a higher l ? e v r?- ?

Mbadok, Apr.l 27.?Our vioinity was tha ccna of another homicide laat Tuesday night iu the killing of Walton Jator by John Gist, both negroes, living on Mr. Job. F. Gist's place. It scorns that they had had three quarrels that day over a trivial matter, in which knives were drawn but not used. That night John Gist went to the lot armed with a shot gun. When the two met, Walton fired at Gist with a pistol, tha ball entering ^ the thigh, wbereuptfh John immediately fired at Walton discharging bath barrels af his gun at him, which proved fatal, killing him in less than thirty minutes. John Gilt surrendered to the proper authorities on ThurJay, and is now in jail. Wbcu will this killing among the negroes 1 rioase?

Cot- 1 n nnd corn planted was lying in the dust id clods and couldn't come up. Now wo ay look for grass in abundance. We have never seen a bcticr prospect for J heat at this season of tho year. It is only j i be regretted that so little of it was sowed. j In the same loogth of time, wo have never i card or seen so many accounts of mad dogs I I we have within the past few days. If rery man in tho country would become "a B iw unto himself ' an 1 pour buelwhotr4flTtr~?? rery straggling dog he fmlfl prowling round, hunting hen's nest', this nuisance rould soon be nbtted. | Mr. Edit r, we arc not surp ised that teynard paid your chicken coop a visit last i reek. llis vulpine shrewdness perhaps auscd him to think that if tiiere was a * liickon in town tlie elitor liod it. (That's J ,n awlul mistake.) ' IjQst Full our liou roost was annoyed by . lomo noeturnal visitor. Almost every night [ i "rumpus" took plnce among the chickens t ind next morning aome of them would 'come up missing." As our frienl 8mm fcfabry would say, "we snrchod do'eegcntly" Tor the cnuse but failed 10 find it. At last >ne of the littlo Voxes foil upon a plan to itop the trouble, which ho did. He mad* a Itole in the bottom of an old oyster om and lied a piece of iron in it for a clapper.? . This improvised bell he hung in the tree - | niul with a string he atlaohed it to his bed I post, and would ring the bell when the 1 chickens made the nlarm. The first night " ho broke up the trouble and we have had none of it ainco. With regard to Kellon Wheel'a pYopoatTldn, I will say : Take nny number (it matters not how many figures it takes t> conttituto It) rtverie the order of the figures (and provided they don't form the same number boUi_ . --?*" ? ways, as, for ins anco, 37073).8ubtr&cl .J?*less from the greater and tho remainder will be divisible by 0; so also will the sum of its figures added horizontet'hf be divisible by 9.mU From this wo readily seo that the figure cancelled (or stricken out) will bo that required to mako an oven 9, whon 9 or 0 is stricken out. We nrc unable to tell which it is, but it is one or tho other, sure. . By multiplying tho difference between the numbers formed by rtvtrring the order of the figures, as suggested above, by nny number wha'ever, dotsn't dt str.^y tho uniformity of the proceedings. Now, if from nny number you subiraot the eum of the figures (added horizontally) the same proceedings may be had with the same accuracy as that above. Perhaps an example will ho*tor demonatrate this proposition : ^ \ Let the number be ..A 56782 ,r This number, as e Uas th^ >r figures is divisiblo by 9. Multiplying it by any whoU number does not dostroy in . uniformity. 1 Will Kclton Wheel tell why this i??
