FLORIDA'S CAPITAL CITY.
A Movement to Brin* White Servants
to the State.
Tallahassee. Fla., Dec. 23.—The Flor
ida Bureau of Immigration has undertaken
a work which It is thought will result in
bringing to Florida thoroughly trained
white servants. The bureau has appointed
A. Taye, an influential native of Norway,
who owns valuable property at Do Funiak
Springs, as its accredited agent. He has
fone to Norway to arrange for bringing to
lorida a large colony of immigrants,
many of whom will be people of
means, who will engage in industrial
and agricultural pursuits. He will also
bring a number of persons of both
sexes, thoroughly trained for domestic
service. Each of these will have official
certiticates of character. The only expense
attending the employment of these servants
will be a small fee to tne agent for engag
ing and forwarding the persons employed.

GIBSON'3 SENSATION.
The Story of the Boy Denied by the
Man Accused.
Gibson, Ga., Dec. 25. —The News corre
spondent has just learned all the facts con
nected with the boy who was found in
Robert Kitchen’s shuck pen, a few miles
from here. The negro boy had been at
work for a few weeks on the plantation of
James Hari'ell. On gaining consciousness
the bov said Frank Harrell, a son of James
Harrell, together with two negroes, had
hanged him, but he did not;know who put
him in the shuck pen. It is thougat tiiat
he played otf on the physicians who were
attending him—that he was not unconscious
at all, but w ent in the shuck pen himself.
HARRELL’S STORY.
Frank Harrell says the boy stole a pistol
from one of the hands on bis father’s placo
and left, and he know nothing more of him
till some of his friends told him the negro
had said he hanged him. Harrell says he
had Dr. Kitchens of Mitchell to examine
him yesterday morning, and the doctor savs
there is not a rope print on his neck. Harrell
thinks an enemy of his mentioned his name
in connection with the crime; that the boy
neard it, and, thinking it would be a plausi
ble tale, told the story already alluded to.
There is considerable excitement in the
neighborhood of Mitchell on account of the
affair.
The Agnost ic’e Belief.
Editor Morning News: In a synopsis of
Rev. Mr. Rogan’s lecture on Ingersoll and
agnosticism, I did not see as clear a state
ment as I desired of the agnostic belief.
Prof. Thomas H. Huxley of England is, I
believe, the coiner of the word, and in a
work “Agnosticism, a Controversy,” with
Bishop Magee and Rev. Dr. Wace, I find
the foilo-viug. It may interest your readers
and give them a right understanding and
meaning of the word.
Says Prof. Huxley : “The word ‘agnos
tic,’ came into my head as suggestively
antithetic to the “gnostic” of the church
history, who professed to know so much
about the things of which I was ignorant.”
“Positively the principle may be ex
pressed : In matters of the intellect follow
your reason as far as it wiil take you with
out regard to any other consideration. And
negatively : In matters of intellect, do not
pretend that conclusions are certain which
are not demonstrated or demonstrable.”
“That I take to be the agnostic faith,
which if a man keep whole and undefiled,
he shall not be ashamed to look the universe
in tho face, whatever the future may have
in store for him.”
We have here in a few lines the agnostic
rule of thought. It is for every one to sit
in judgment on his own intellect and con
science and abide the result. Intellectually,
every man or noman must be the judge of
truth for themselves. As Rev. S. B. Gould
states it: “Certainty is placed on private
judgment; that is, man's reason is the meas
ure of tru ll to himself. He is satisfied of
the truth of a proposition only when tit has
been demonstrated to him aud that demon
stration has taken hold of and convinced
his reason.”
The logic and reasoning is sound euough.
But the intellect, cold’logical reason, is one
thing; and man’s emotions, his feelings,
his innate instincts are altogether another.
Words are cne thing, but the effect or uf
fect of those words on the feelings another
thing. Sentiment goes further than rea
son. A man wiil fight quicker for his feel
ings than his intellect; for his honor than
his reason. Man has a praying organ, and
that organ is called spirituality, and it
really ranks his reason’. It is the soul of
man speaking to his reason. It says pray;
pray to something; Sun. moon, stars,
rocks, storms, to Osiris, Zeus, Jupiter, or
Jehovah; but pray; and man has been true,
very true, to las emotional nature.
My intellect tells me I will die like a
brute, be like him (Ecc. iii., 18, 19, 20).
But ray desire for immortality tells me that
I will take on anew nature after death.
W„ are told that love is blind; aud so it is;
terribly blind in some instances. A man
will make himself a fool about a woman,
and a woman will throw herself away all
for love. Both have intellect and reason,
but the passion of love, which is as much
an organ of the brain as that of causality
or comparison, relegates reason and intel
lect to the back ground. The organ for a
desire for prayer and worship in man de
clares he has a soul. When a scientist can
analyze a thought, he then may prepare
himself to analyze the soul of man.
