the Independents vote with the Repub

advantage in questions to be decided by

closes the volume of this favorite maga
zino, and we remind our readers that
now is the time to subscribe. The
opening article is a most interesting
history of “The Bank of England,” by
Richard B. Kimball, there arc nine il
lustrations with a picture of the founder,
William Paterson. N. Robinson con
tributes “Segovia,” and charmingly
describes that quaint Spanish city.
“Hats Off” will well repay the reader,
as will also “A Beauty of the Last
Century,” “King Herring,” “Mecca
and its Pilgrims,” “Seeing by Tele
graph,” etc., all of which are finely il
lustrated. The department of fiction is
very interesting, for, besides the con
tinuation of “A Whited Sepulchre,”
there are admirable stories, sketches,
etc., by Oscar Zurich, K. V. Hastings,
Marguerite Ayrnar, Eleanor Kirk, etc.,
etc. The poems are by favorite writ
ers. several of them beautifully illus
trated. There are also a variety of
short articles, paragraphs, etc., on all
sorts of subjects, and exceedingly en
tertaining and instructive. The 128
pages quarto are crowded with good
things, literary and artistic. There are
over 100 embellishments, and a hand

only 25 cents, or $3 a year, postpaid.

Vice President Raoul of the Central
Railroad company, is reported to have
sent in his resignation, and that it will
be acted upon by the board at its meet
ing on the Gth of December. Capt Raoul
is a son-in-law of the late president of
that road, Col. W. M. Wadley, and
stood second only to Col. Wadley in
Georgia, as a railroad man. Some of
his friends in the company wanted him
as a successor of the deceased president,
but General Alexander was chosen in
stead. It is said by parties supposed
to know that Capt. Raoul will be a
candidate for the presidency of the Cen
tral at the next meeting of the stock
holders.
The Macon Graphic remarks that
the Legislature could accomplish great
good if it would establish an inebriate
asylum in Georgia. ' Let it he a sepa
rate and distinct institution from any
and all others in the State. It should
have no connection with the lunatic
asylum whatever. Theft are hundreds
of perishing souls,diseased minds,ruined
healths, lost reputations and wasted
fortunes that could be saved, restored
improved, reclaimed and regained
if they could only be hi ought under the
healing influence of an inebriate asylum.
We hope the Legislature will adopt
some measure for establishing an ine
briate asylum in Georgia.

“Oh, Lord, Rlcss Our Soldiers.”
The Post-Appeal reporter states
that the father of Mr. J. C. C. Black,
who recently sprang into prominence as
the Arcadian statesman, is a Kentucky
Baptist minister. He was a great Rebel,
and being forbidden by the Federal au
thorities to pray lor the South during
the war, was accustomed to say in his
public prayers, “Oh, Lord, bless our
soldiers—you know who I mean.”
This caused the good old gentleman to
be thrown into a Federal fort. Speak
ing of Black, the failure of whose ideal
method of getting into office has been
sufficiently shown of late, the man is
an orator. He has pathos, logic, im
agination, and fills the late Ben Hill’s
definition of an orator, to-wit: “He
who has the intellect to see the truth,
the heart to fell it, and the courage to
speak it.” Back of all this power lies
Mr. Black’s greatest strength. He is
a good man. The purer method Ar
cadian youths are saying now, “We
are going to have a political revolution
in Georgia.” Black is the man to
lead. He will set the State on fire the
next campaign.
THE STATE CAPITAL.
LEGIST, ATI VE PROCEEDINGS
The house met a 10 o’clock and was
called to order by the speaker; prayer
by the chaplain. The journal was read
and approved. The general tax bill
was read the second time and ordered
to be printed for the use of the house.
Mr. Calvin, Chairman of the commit
tee on education reported favorably the
bill to accept the donation of $50,000
by Senator Brown. Mr. Bartlett, of
Bibb, moved to .refer the bill to the
judieiary committee to determine the
constitutionality of the question involv
ed. The legislature should not, he
said, be in a hurry to accept a gift un
til the legality and advisibility of ac
cepting it arc determined. Mr. Hum
ber, of Putnam, said there .was no doubt
as to the legality of accepting the gift.
The best lawyers had looked into the
question and advised its acceptance.
The gift ought to be promptly accepted.
It might be dangerous to delay action
in the matter until the summer session.
The accepting of the gift and using
bonds would not increase the bonded
indebtedness of the State but would
simply constitute some oftlie maturing
Nutting bonds. Similar views were
taken by Messrs. Harris, of Bibb, and
Russell, of Clarke. Mr. Reese, of
Wilkes, thought the bill ought to go
to the judiciary committee to have its
legality thoroughly sifted. It was a
question on which lawyers differed very
materally and the house ought to know
wliat it is doing. Mr. Pringle, of
Washington, opposed a committal to
the judiciary committe. Mr. Calvin’s
motion to print the bill was agreed to,
and the motion to commit was lost.
Mr. Gary, Chairman of the committee
on the State of the republic reported
favorably on joint resolution to petition
Congress to allow certain cotton claims

tion looking to a repeal of present in
ternal revenue laws. On motion of Mr.
Jordan of Hancock, the rules were sus
pended and the house took up the Sen
ate resolution to inquire into certain
pardons given by Governor Colquitt

Letter from Our Seuior Bishop.
Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
Mr. Editor: You and other friends
of the enterprise, have kept Dr. Allen’s
“Anglo-Chinese University” before the
mind of the Church, in such 6trongand
earnest appeals, that some of ns have
remained silent, perhaps too long. For
one 1 have said nothing—-not because
1 have been indifferent—but waiting
for a propitious moment. Now I speak
for myself (and I think for my col
leagues too) when I say, Dr. Allen’s
project demands and deserves the re
cognition and endorsement of the
Church in every department. The
Bishops, the Mission Board, the Secre
tary, the Church press ought all to
commend and promote it. It is a great
movement—pregnant with grand re
sults. My own convictions are pro
found and without a shadow of mis
giving. The conception is wise. The
instrumentality a necessity. It is legiti
mate Church work. As an auxiliary,
indispensable to effective preaching. To
“teach” is a part of the great commis
sion, certain fundamental ideas of God
and nature, humanity and truth, must
enter the mind and open the way for
the reception and entertainment of more
spiritual ideas. This is true of an in
dividual—emphatically so of a great
mass of people. Religion is a process,
not a miracle. An intellectual and
moral education. It has initial elements
and then, combinations development
and fruit. Time is an important factor
in reaching the great ends of missionary
labor. In agriculture, thorough pre
paration of the soil is essential to a
large harvest, superficial work brings
no fruit to perfection. A wise “hus
bandman waiteth tor the precious fruit
of the earth and hath long patience for
it.” The Church has this lesson to
learn. She is impatient. Her faith is
weak or lacks intelligence. Perhaps
both. She must confide in the soil,
when properly worked—in the seed
sown and in Him who gives the early
and *he latter rain. The idea that
Young J. Allen is not doing missionary
work in his school, is simply prepos
terous—the vagary of a very narrow
mind. He is doing the work for which
He who makes no mistakes, has provi
dentially prepared him If a man will
forecast the future and can comprehend
possibilities, he is doing more than all
besides. He is helping all the rest.
They will fail comparatively, unless he
succeeds. To achieve the highest civili
zation, the church and the school house
must stand side by side. It is so in
all lands, in Christian as well as heath
en countries. Every missionary in
China has his school or needs it. The
blessed women who .have gone forth,
can do little else but teach in schools.
Now that an enterprise which projects
the light of Christian education heyond
the little squads of children gathered
in primary schools, into the higher cir
cles of society—the leading families—
the minds destined to mould the nation
—that such a work should be lightly
esteemed by anybody, is—well, amaz
ing and inexcusable. If Dr. Allen is
not sustained promptly and liberally,
I shall be ashamed of my Church.
Shall feel that we have slighted a grand
opportunity and postponed for a cen
tury, the regeneration of China.
I have been hoping that some of our
brethren blessed with abundance, would
give the whole or at least a large part
of the $25,000 asked for. A Georgia
Methodist” donates SSOO and invites
others to join him. This is well, and
just like the noble man (God bless
him) if I guess correctly. Can forty
nine more of the same sort be found? 1
could count them on my fingers and call
their names but I will not. I trust
they will read this article and name
themselves. What a year of blessing
and abundance! What a call to devise
liberal things is here! Were there not
ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
Is this Georgia Methodist to stand in
solitary isolation? Many, many can
give a hundred. Many, very many—
-1 fifty—more, a great multitude—twenty.
Stop teader, eat each question— -Con
sider, am I the man? Can I do it?
Ought I? Let conscience answer. Let
tho love of Christ decide.
Georgia Methodism has been inter
ested in the China mission from its in
ception. Her children—sons and daugh
ters are there. A reinforcement from
her shores is on its way. They are
leaning on us who remain at home.
They confide in us. We must not dis
appoint them. They have left all to
serve Christ —to do our work. God
forbid that we should lay any other
burden upon them! Never-never. Can
not the churches in Savannah, Augusta,
Macon, Columbus, Atlanta, raise for
each of these cities a thousand dollars ?
How easy the task? How useful the
gift? Think—pray—respond.
