In a private noto from Cool Spring Itev.
W. L. Pegucs says: "Our Quarterly meeting
was a success. Had good preaching
and large congregations. The new church
' could not, by a small congregation on the
outside, accommodate the crowd. Our
zealous Presiding Elder made a capital
talk to the Sunday School on the lesson,
and after a short rest preached u powerful
sermon from Acts xiii, 1, 2, 3. A collection
for Missions was taken which amounted
in cash and subscription to forth three
V, dollars to our great comTort and relief*
The erection of this splendid new church
prophesies great things for the congregation,
and a reward is due those who shared
in the enterprise.
Yeldell alias Flemon has been tried by

the murdered man's friends and relatives.

A TOBACCO SONO.
Come old and young and hoar tn? toll
How strong tobacco smokers smell
Who love to smoke their |>lpes so ireij.
That for tobacco they will sell.
Now, you can tell when they are near,
Though not a word from them you hear, i
They lov3 their pipes so very dear,
Their breath grows stronger every year, j
They clean their pipe steins with a wire
Then till tin' whole and put in tire
And stnoke until it does expire, ,
And never do they seem to tire.
" I
Sometimes some five or six you see
Collected in one company;
And every one is in full glee,
They then must have a smoking spree, j
Again within their neighbor's door
They there will tell of pleasures o'er,
While spitting on the hearth or lloor,
I'ntil it spreads a foot or more.
When they are sad they'll chow much more
Thau they have ever done before,
And yet their troubles are not o'er
Tobacco makes their tongues so sore. .
I?ft are the'cuds so large within
That juice runs out and down the chin,
Now, there we see the tilth again
The mouth too fidl to hold it in.
Some ladles dip tobacco snufT
' While others have a pipe and puff,
Some others chew the nasty stuff;
I'ntil their mouths look bad enough.
If people had the money lent
That for tobacco they have spent,
So many need not have to rent
Hut live at home in much content.
They then could pay their preacher well
And hear the truth ho has to tell
To sinners on their way to hell,
Inviting them with (Jod to dwell.
The preacher too miuht unit the weed
From such expense hoover freed;
And much less money then he'd need
And In it nice example lend.
We would not see him in the stiintl
There acting like a filthy man,
Who spits upon the desk as grand
As though he owned all Canaan's land.
Ills good wife too might ipiit the stuff
Lay down her pipe and all her snuff
Their pathway would not bo so rough
And all their children have enough.

Changes of the Weather and
Moon.
After a drouth there is reason to
expect a change of weather upon the
so-called full of tho moon or one of
its phases, because these phases are
only seven and throe-eighths < lays
apart, and the farther wo advance in
time the nearer we como to tho
change or rain, and this time cannot
be, at any time, more than three and
eleven sixteenths days from a so-called
change of the moon Hut there
is, in fact, no change more than about
tho same as occurs to tho earth, and
as the earth does not contract to a
narrow crescent and then expand to
the globosity of a full orb, so does not
the moon.
l'lie moon is a globe, approximately,
now and always. It is common
knowledge that the moon has no
light and no heat of its own. No
light save that reflected from the sun,
and as a full measure of the sun's
light grows and vivifies plant and
animal life as well, and a total deprivation
of that light sicklies both
plant and animal, so will every measure
between the full power and the
entire deprivation differ. The moon
then by reflecting more or less light
may effect more or less variation in
plant or animal life.
So much for theory, facts, says
Gadgrind are stubborn things. 1
have kept u record of all operations
for years on plants, corn, potatoes,
etc.; 011 operations on animals, swine,
male and female, horses and cattle;
on fni.nn biiilfliiwr. ?Ih"?
etc., ami as a result find no difference
in result no mutter what the phase*
apparent, of the moon may lie, and
my results nro also fu 1 ly as good as
those who mind the moon. Hut to
return to tho weather business. The
utter nonsense of tho idea that the
"moon governs tho weather" is shown
from the plain fact that under the
power of tho samo moon Texas may
have a two-year's drouth, Ceorgiu
good seasons, tho South good seasons^
the West, Illinois, etc., parched by
drouths, ono neighborhood good and
seasonable rains, another settlement
not five miles distant not a shower;
tho ono rejoicing, tho other disheartened.
1 may add that ono reason
why some think that the moon's power
is potent, is tho fact] that such rotnember
tho coincidences and forget
tho failures of the theory to connoct
with tho fact. Furthermore, in tho
time of a year's or one-half year's
drouth tho moon will have apparently
had its clmngos at many different
times of tho day?thus showing that
tho time of tho apparent chango has
no controlling influence, but pointing
to tho fact that the groat Organizer
of the universe has appointed agoncios
or powers for tho controlinent of
the weather, more substantial than
moonlight.
Certain districts will be found to
be more favored by showers, and
others more companioned by drouths.
The valleys or land along streams,
lakes, woodlands, etc., being favorod,
while belts distant twenty miles aro
slighted. Tho continuation of the
subject would not always lead to a
consideration of the results of tbo
denudation of forests and of the
practice of drainage, but it is nowdry
enough to go to work. What I
have written is not now, but some
nood reminders, as work is often dolay
ed for an imaginary influonoe.

A North Carolina Invention.
Some time ago Mr. Haylis Cade, of
Raleigh, N. C., invented a system for
communicating by telegraph with
moving railroad trains.
His plan is to havo a drag attached
to the car to communicate with a
wire near the track and running parallel
to it. The experiments recently
made at Raleigh would seem to
demonstrate that the thing is a perfect
success, as the results were most
}
i in Baltimore for tho purpose of tie
veloping tho invention and placing

Bultimoro and Washington which ii
to bo equipped for tho pnrposo oi
ascertaining whether tho apparatus
will work as satisfactorily in prooti
cal operation as it has hitherto done
experimentally.
By this system, collisions between
trains equipped with tho apparatus
will be an impossibility, as notice ol
tho approach of a train on tho same
J track will bo given automatically by
11ho instruments.
Besides this, there will ho a great
actual saving to railroad companies,
as with tho advent of the (.'ado sys
tein, tho usefulness of, and necessity
for, the block skoals will have doparted,
as train dispatchers will then

tho moving trains, thus being kept
thoroughly cognizant of I ho exact
whereabouts of every train on tho
road.
