The defendant de? fied most of the allegations in the com? plaint. The case was heard and the only evidence submitted was an order of. ^be Circuit-Judge appointing the plaintiff receiver, and an order of the ["Circnit-Jadgeirestraining the defendant from selfing or disposing of the pro ^ty -ini his possession, and also testi-. mony of the deputy sheriff that the property in possession of the defendant had been levied upon as the property of rWbitehean. - - - ?pon tbis't?strmjony -the Circuit Judge granted a non-suit on motion [^defendant The plaiutiff appealed.

See Carter & Holmes vs. Dorrance, 19 S. G., 32; Hogg vs. Pinckoey, 16 S. C., 387. There was no evidence to the point that the property levied upon hy the de? fendant was embraced' in the assign? ment, which was the gist of the action; or at least was as material as the fact of assignment and receivership, and the non-suit followed as matter of course.

Moise & Lee for . respondent Keep Your Sabbath. Bs jealous na this , point. Whether you live in town or country, resolve to i profane your: Sabbath, and in the end you wrll give over caring for your soul. The steps which lead td this are regular.; Begin with not honoring God's day, and you wtlr u? -honor- God's boase, cease [to honor God's book, and by and by you will give God no honor at all. Let anyone lay the foundation of no. Sab? bath and I am not surprised if he fin? ishes with the topstone of no God. It. was a Temarkablfe saying of Judge Hale, that of all persons'convicted of. capital crimes while he was on the bench, he J found not a few who did not confess that \ they began their career of wickedness by neglect of the Sabbath. Have you ever noticed what a pecu? liar thing Sunday sickness is? The in? disposition comes On suddenly The victims "retire on Saturday night in ? usual health, but on awakening on Sun? day morning somehow they 'do not feel very well/ aud they* 'guess they won't go to Church to-day.' But fortunately it never proves fatal or very serious. Monday mornings the suffering ones are in their usual health. People suf ing -from this malady never take much medicine. -Value of Cotton Seed. Sir J. B. Lawes, of England, says that he has proved that a ton of cotton seed meal, costing $31.50 that was fed to his animals, added $28.25 to the value of manure they made. So he got the feeding value for $3 25. He isa man who makes experiments with care, and for the purpose of positively know1 ing the facts involved. -Another writer has proved very clearly that a ton of cotton seed boiled, and fed to beeves, may be made to add ?25 in fat; flesh and selling value. We- have uo doubt that a ton of good cotton seed on the lands^of the right man, may give to the farmer in flesh, fat and manure, from $40 to $50 in value, and yet farmers are selling millions of "bushels of this valuable'article at less than ten cents a bushel-62 bushels to the ton ; ?6 a ton. And much of this comes from poor lands that need fertilizing, and from farms where cattle in the winter have neither bed nor shelter. The ?W Shaped Bang.

Elocution in the Parlor. What a fashion this reading, or, to be more correct, recitation, has become. Ten years ago only the professional elocutionist, the Shakespearean reader, ever thought of doing anything of tlc kind, while now everybody stands up in a parlor and repeats his or her littlj verse in excellent style. I say 'every? body,' because people never before suspected of having tris gift are con? stantly popping out and surprising their friends with this favorite accomplish? ment Judging by them, I imagine all the others are meditating on thc possibility of their being asked next time. If one hasn't a voice to sine with, ncr any other talent to be glori? fied, it seems providential that reading has come in vogue, as it gives the niuih desired opportunity to shine before men and women of society When a pretty girl stands up and recites something having all the car mark.? of ber teacher in elocution about it, the crudeness of tho effort is overlooked in the pleasure her yor.th and loveliness ai7v?rd the *p?-ctator Ono will forgive anything in a beautiful young WOK?a?, uven parlor parrot i ng.-Boston Urra I ---om ? - The newspapers are printing a story i that among General Lean's papers are j leUer* from Geueral W.

All Christian Churches have been growing rapidly during the past year. The rapid; development in numerical strength has caused some thoughtful men to proclaim the near approach of the millennium. Without accepting this proclamation as a verity, there is something in the rapid growth of Ghr?stiaii?ty that thrills the heart of the'child of God with joy. Never in the history of the Church has there ever been manifested such zeal, such devotion and euch liberality. The great epochs of the past furnish no parallel with the present. As we think of the future success of the Church'-OUT heads grow dizzy over its dazzling glory. The time seems njt far distant when "a nation will be born in a day/7 and thousands will be saved in an hour. Last year there was a steady and fine advance. The Year Books of all the various denom? inations have been issued. The loss? es in deaths, withdrawals and expul? sions are large ; but despite this fact none of the leading Churches show a decrease in their membership^ but on the other hand a large gain. The following figures are taken from the Independent, the strongest and most impartial religious paper published in America. It claims tar be independ? ent, but it has been thought that it sometimes leans toward the Congre? gationalists. Here are the figures : CHURCHES. MEJ?BERS. NET GAIN. Methodist Episcopal, North ?tad South, : 2,990,000 175,000 Baptist, North and South, white and .colored, 2,735,570 160,332 Luthheraasall bran : ches, ' . / ' 930,830 - 37 628 Presbyterian", North and South, 805,552 26,326 Congregational, 436,379 17.815 Protestant Episcopal, 418,531 19,541 United Brethren, 185.103 11.838 Reformed German, 176,937 3,938 Cumberland, 138,564 8.653 Evangelical Assoc!-. tion. 132 508 12,750 United Presbyterian, 91,086 2,215 Dutch" Reformed, 83,037 1,157 Free Baptist, (very similar to Method? ist,) 82.323 4,394 Totals, 9,203,722 181.637 I Prom thc above statistics it is clear? ly evident that ihe largest gains weie made by the Methodist Church. Of the 175,000 net gain 75,000 was made by the Methodists in the Si uth. 'Joseph' is proving 'a fruitful vine 3 While these figures should encourage, they ought also-to urge every Chris? tian forward to greater diligence in work for the Master. 'The world for Christ' should be the controlling idea in the mind of every child of God -Christian Advocate. They say that the Indian name for editor is 'Worah-to-cbe-res-be-Kaw haw.'
