AFRICA'S MILLIONS. Wesleyan Advocate,] Anything like accurate census ta llies of lho population of the “Dark Continent'’ are, as yet, out of ques tion. But il is evident that l lie old geograph rs only guessed at the popnlition ami guessed 100 low. Be low we give the i; tifinUes carefully made up bv a French Geographical Society, The figures are startling indeed. Does not common sense say that the means for the cvangclat'on of these unknown mi'lions are tight here in the Southern States of this Union? The African Methodists of America ought- to come together and all white Me'hodists ought lo help tin m evangi-lizo Africa. Read'the French estimate as follows: In the Soudan the population is 80.000,000, or about 53 persons per square mile. The town of Bula on the Niger, for example, contains (id ly 90 000 inhabitants. East Africa is rated at 30,000,000, and Eqnntoilal Africa at some 40,000,000 souls. A late authority on ethology sels down the negroes as numerically 139,000,- 000: the Ilainililcs 30,000,000; the Bantas, 13,000,000; the Foolalis, 8,- 000,000; the Nubians, 1,500,000; the Hottentots, 50,000—making a total ol 182,550,000. These figures—only approximate, of course—arc consid ered too low both by German and British geographers, the former esti mating tho population as high as 200,000,000. Much hope has been epcatcdly expressetd of ho future of Afiica, which is rich in mineral products, and capable of maintaining a prosp ious commerce with other parts of the globe. H NTS ON CALLING.

Fort Smith, October (i.—A few days since the daughter of old man Adams, a white man skulking in the | Cheek Nation, shot and killed the | post master at Tulsa, named Clinch, j because he would not marry her. ! Biding ou a white horse, he was rid i ing bv the log shanty ol the Adam ses, when the woman hailed Irrn with | a revo’ver hidden under her apron, | anc standing in front of the house, asked Church also a white man, ihe usual leap-year question, to which he I gaye an emphatic “no.” Deliberate ly stie raised the pistol and sent a forty-live caliber bullet turongh his heart, lie stll sat on his horse, the blood running down either flank, when she again took aim at the heart,*the ball crashing through aud splitting the shoulder-blade. The man f li dead at her feet, and she then dragged th: body to the side of the road, to>k off her apron aud spread it carefully over the dead face, caught her pony, and riding to a neighbor, told what she had-dono. In the qiiiant language of flic Iron tier she said: “Yon uns will find his body down by t lie road, and you’d bi tter take care of it before lhe hogs eat it ’’ Sac then rode to another neighbor, two nyles the other way. passing by tiic bodv as site went fhen piloting one of the neighbors lo the scene of the murder, she dis mounted and coolly went about her work. Through fear of lynching, however, herself and and father took their skill and started down down Arkansa river, but were finally pick ed up by the Indian police, and are awai ing trial in tho United State jail at t is place. IMAGINATION. It is impossible for human beings to be cheerful at all times. Indeed, wc are so constituted that we must nave something to be wretched about.. 11 our actual circumstances do n t admit o! tiiis oonsumaton, then out lives is a wotlcl of imaginary evils, and we weep as though we had real sorrow. Instead of taking a bright and cheering vie w wc seem never to be quite happy unless we put an “if’ or a “but” in some where. Wc al - keep an oyc out for a storm cloud, and make ourselves unhappy over the posibility of its coming, whether it actually comes or not We once heard ol an invalid who in sisted to his physician that ho was growing weaker and weaker every day and that the end was not very far off, “Why, Doctor,” he said one day, in querulous tones, “a month ago I could walk all the way around I the park rounder, an I today I was so weak that I could walk only half around and then back again.” ! If he had only thought a moment, lie J would have discovered that to walk half way round and back again, was just as far as to walk all the way around. The best way to live is to live as well you can, and the only way to take care of the future is to let it take care of itself. TRA CTtON ENGINE. Mr. R. S, Kendricks, of Talbots Valley, produced a decided sensa in our towu last Tuesday by steatil ing through with Gciser Tracion En gine.

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION, $2 00 MAXIMS. lie is happy who has conquered laziness once and forever. Teach subjects and not books; prin ciples not facts. Borrow is a summons lo come up higher in Chiislinn character. D. licaoy is to affection what grace is to beauty. If you would h ive a faithful ser vant and ono that you like, serve yourself. Under the freest constitution igno rant people are slaves. At the first it is no great matter how much you learn, but how well you learn it. A boro is a man who spends so much time talking about himself that you can t talk about yourself. It is a fact worth remembering that it docs not take half as long to make a wound as to heal it. One may do a veiy good action and not be a god man; but he can not do a bad one and be notbad man. As the surest health is less per ceived than the slightest malady, so he highest joy touches less than the smallest sorrow. Agony of Getting Up. The greatest trial in the life of a Southern farmer boy is gett ng up summer mornings,’’ remarked a gen glleman ns lie sat with a party of friends. “When I was a boy the voice of my father calling me in tho mornings struck terror to tho core of my heart. Just about daylight, in that hazy time of day when you can gap in listless bliss and stretch into paradise, the old gentleman would stpp up on tite foot ol the stairs and call: “John; oh John !” “Ye-es, sir.” “Get up. Broad day-light. Get up and feed the horses wliilo your mother’s getting a biteto eat. Hurry up! We must finish that corn before it rains. Are von coming ?” . No answer. “John!’’ “Are you coming?” “Yes, sir.” Who could get up at snclt a time? Who could break a spell born of heav en? Another stretch; the refreshing air comes through the window. How delightful! A winkling struggle be tween conscience and a delightful doze. I dream th it I am up. I go out to thestable and begin putting the gear on my horse. In tying the hatne string I lift the horse’ from the ground. He goes up in the air, and catching hold of tlm hattie string, I ttoat with the animal out of the door and around the lot. “Git out of this bed, sir,” and tny father grabs me, “I -I thought I was up. I’ll get up.” “Get right hero, ’and ho hands me' my pants. I take hold of them, but my eyes are so heavy I can’t see. 1 feel strange. I seem to bo doming from tho spring with a bucket of wa ter. “Pat cm them breeches, I tell you. j Well, if he hasn’t gone to sleep try ing to put on his clothes !” “Finally” I put on my pants and reached for my jacket “Hurry up!” says tho old gentleman turning from the door to sec how well the work is progressing. 1 sit on the side of the bed and begin putting on my socks. The old gentleman has gone down.— I pull on one sock and lean tny head against the bed post. I loso all presence of mind. Again I doze. Whack, whack, whack! I'm up. Oh, dng-gon-it. I’m up. I won’t do it any more. Oh, oo ugh ! “Come on, tins minute, sir.” Everything is clear. Inm wide awake. I hoar the steaming tea ket tle as I pass tho kitchen dor, and even whistle as I cut oats for the horses. I suppose that nearly every Southern boy whose parents were not wealthy has gone through a sim ilar experience.

Tho association lias cleared off ail area of twenty-five acres ou tho battlefield for the cere mony. Kings Mountain is one of the spurs of tfic Bine Ridge, and is pic turesquely I-c ited on tho line be tween Ihe States of North an<l South Carolina.

W, Cole’s circus, now enrouto for this city, is thus detailed by W. R. Hay den, the managing advance agent.— In goiug from Nevada to Colfax a part of the circus went by rail, a distance of seventeen miles, while another part went across the country, which is only twelve miles. In tho latter body were tho elephants, three of which got loose and went on a pasear ott their own account. Three days elapsed before they were recap tured, though their ♦racks were closely followed in men on horse back. During their pedestrian jam boree they went through an Indian camp at night, but never woke up a siny 1 1 soul; tore up fences, went through orchards, consumed quanti ties of Iruit. took a run of three miles down the railroad track, and as far as known were not seen by any otto in tho district, which is well settled up. Uprooted fruit trees testified to their love of fun, and the number of fences which had to bo rebuilt after their “bender” is incalculable. They appear to have been good natured all the time, but to have traveled most ly at night, anil rested during tho day in the woods. A WISE PLAN.
