Unfortunately a liberal use of money in

which this money has 1h*cii procured.
Directly or indirectly it came from the
federal treasury directly or indirectly
from the pockets of the |KH>ple. The

to pay for their own debauchery. This
conclusion is no longer a moro theory,

Ancient Art and Modern Science.
In a lecture recently delivered in New
York hy William C. Fritnc, LL.P., on
" Ancient Art and Modern .Science,” the
lenrned apeaker said that it was n false
notion to suppose that there wa* a con
test between religion nhd selehce, but it
wa* litidotihtedly a fnct that lie tween
Christianity flhd certain theories of the
more modern schools Inert* wn* such a
contest, nml it was one which It wnavain
to attempt to reconcile. One or the oth
er side must Ik* right. Either the bible
was a fiction or those theories of the mod
ern scientist* were fictions without nny
stip|Kirt in fn^ts. All attempt* at com
promise were mischievous, and the asser
tion* of the scientist* should Ik* met with
the counter assertions that all theories
which are contrary to the teachings of
our religious system are, of course, false.
All these tnlncnicvnus theories of modern
science were disproved by ancient art.
An oldcct of art being shown, llio stu
dent of art at once asks, " When was it
marie7 Who made it?” ami applying the
well known rules of art lie can answer
these questions by the object Itself. He
knows, first, that some one made it, and
ii you should try to convince him that
it made itself, or was produced by a pro
cess of evolution, lie would say you were
crazy, and If what the modern scientist
calls tho works of nature nre the works
of art, then the rules ol art apply
them. The student of art in all agen had
recognized that the creation was the work
o( h divine nrlisl, ami to him they had
consecrated their noblest works, nml the
great maker of art itself was the master
artist, God. In seeking for the origin of
man, there was no other safe guide
repl art, nml the art student wa*
only authority for the ancient history of
man, and the imxicrn student was
fronted by tho indisputable facts of
which show that al a |M*riod less than
five thousand years ago the entire ra>
man ii|sin the earth consisted of a small
number residing somewhere in the west
ern part of Asia. Tho evidences given
hy the modern scientists a* to tho
treme antiquity of the race should Ik*
reived with great caution, because
every Instance where the art student has
l*ocn enlled upon to examine these o> ’
donees they have been found to bedofe
live. Mr. Prime then traced the coining
of money back to ilaoldrat known source,
and from this back through the tiim'
when metals by weight were the stand
ard of value, ami anterior to that when
the lamb was the nicnnurc ofexchnnge

The Increased Cotton Yield.

Mng marketed us by tho steady yearly
increase in the yield of the south in the
past nnd tho pros|ieet of the continuance
of that increase in the future. And
while tin- consumption lias also steadily
increased, Ui the extent of using all of
the production, yet the prico at which
the raw staple ha* entered into consump
tion, ha* boon yearly becoming lower and
lower, the result *f the steadily increas
ing supply. The following statistics will
show bow regular the increase in the
yield of tho south ha* lieon since 1822,
and from them we may form some idea
of what may Ik* ex|K*ctcd in the future.
The yields of 1876 and 187(1 are of course
only estimated, and the aggregate yield
of each decade is given a* showing i
clearly the average steady increase
will la' observed that the average weight
of the bales has Increased from alKiut
three hundred iNUinds each in 1822
about four htimired and eighty pounds
each in 187th The yields of the five years
from l8f»2 to 18t»(' arc omitted, a* th

It apjH'ars from tin above that the
yield ot the ten years since the war lias
exceeded that of the decade immediately

The Hold Fever in North Caro
lina.—It is clear that the gold fever
hich raged to such an extent In this I
section many years ago is reviving. This j
idenced by the influx of miner* hero
coming on prospecting tours, and the in
creasing amount of "gold talk” which is
heard on the streets and elsewhere.
Evilencea have Unsu abundant of late
that there i* no lack of gold in this j»nrt
of the state, and that only means and
11 directed effort* nre needed to produce
A plenty of fine gold ore has Nvu
found on the land leased by Messrs. J. J.
Jackson, H. A. I sin don and John Mail
ing, in Cheatham county. They propose
uniting with northern' capitalists and
working tlu* mine on an extensive scale.

Knowing that you arc suhleet to a great

to you, that fain eonslantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailment* for

until they have heroine perfectly discouraged
nnd have almost made tip their mind never
to take another dose of medicine, or he tor
tured bv any further treatment. They find
rather die and have their sufferings ended
(ban to live and sufler as they have. They
say they nre worn out by suffering, andI are

mods of treating such difficulties than that,
the principles of which teach the reducing

Hat, Indy sufferers, there is a better and far
morn successful plan of treatment for you;
'on0 more in harmony with the laws and re
quirements of your system. A harsh, irri
tating caustic treatment and strong medicine*
will never cure you. If you would ua* ra
tional means, such as common-sense should
dictate to every intc'ligent lady, take surli
medicines ns embody the very best invigo
rating tonics nnd fiervlnes, compounded with
special reference to your delicate system.
Much a happy combination you will find in
my Favorite Prescription, Which haa received
Ihe highest praise from thousands of your
sex. Those languid, tiresome sensations,
causing you lo feel scarcely able to be on
your feel or ascend a flight of stairs; tliat
continual drain flint is sapping from your
system all your former elasticity, and driving
tlie bloom from your cheeks; that continual
at rniu upon yonr vital forces that renders you
irritable nnd fretful,—may all be overcome
and subdued by a persevering use of that
marvelous remedy. Irregularities and ole
strurtioii* to the proper working of your sys
tem nre relieved uy ibis mild nnd sale means,
while periodical pains, the existence of which
is n sure indication of serious disease that
should not be neglected, readily yield to il
urn! If its use ho kepi up for a rrasonabl
length of lime, tlie special cause of then
pains is permanently removed. I* iirther light
on these subject* mav be obtained from "The
People's Common Sense Medical Adviser,"
in which I have devoted a large space to tho
consideration of all forma of diseases pecu
