To write 10 friends end say that such planks were put in hie platform me re ly to catch votes, won’t do. Don't forget that all the voter are required to register again this year to be allowed a vote in any election held The fact of having registered last year or at any previous time will not give you the right to vote this year. The negroes of Macon are holding meetings for the purpose of petitioning congress to grant pensions to ex-slaver. Many have signed the petition, and much excitement has been caused by colored preachers, who are leading the movement io the city. Marietta Journal: Hon. Robert L. Berner is an able legislator, a brilliant speaker and a loyal Democrat, but he stands no show in Ibis race. Allen Candler seems to have the people be hind him, and is going to win the nomination, or all signs fail. In a *UQPg editorial, the Brunswick Times aJvTres Judge Spencer Atkinson not to enter the race for the governor ship. The Times is Judge Atkinson's home paper, and they do say that be can not carry bis home county for any* thing he aspires to; from which out siders are led to conclude that there is "something dead up the creek.” aawwsuumuausmmwsaamsMwiwßmMma Some unfriendly papers, .notably among'them the Griffin News, are dis posed to make fun ol Allen Candler because be has but one eye. Allen Candler lost an eye while fighting for his country in the Confederate army, and to that fact, perhaps, is due the Griffin News’s disposition to speak lightly of bis misfortune. ' The editor Os the Griffin News is a northern man. —Dawson News. Late developments have satisfied the professional politicians that Judge S. R. Atkinson could not defeat Hon. Al len D. Candler for governor. They are therefore now engaged in an effort to bring out as many local candidates as possible in order to disintegrate his strength and go into the convention with a multiplicity ol candidates, rely ing on trades and deals alter the con vention assembles in order to compass his defeat.—Pike County Journal. A House Bet on Fire by a Poultice. Fire insurance companies have all sorts of experiences and their officers Can tell many curious stories, says the Hartford Coorant. One of the queer est fires fell witbin the business of the Connecticut Fire Insurance Company of this city recently. , A bouse was set on fire by a bathtub >AH<i the tub was set on fire by a poul tice. A man in a Western city was Sffering from a bad cold, and his wife, the doctor’s orders, prepared a pool - tioe for his chest. When she started to put it on it proved to be too hot Accordingly she took it to the bath** room and set it into the bathtub to cool. This happened to be a fine tub lined with celluloid, which served as a sort of enamel. The beat of the poul tice started the celluloid a going, and ( the burning tub set things going gen- ( erally. The department was called out, and the house was well wet down, for ' which the company had*to pay. This, ( so far as is koowc, is the first instance on record where a bathtub set a bouse on fire or where a poultice kindled a bathtub.

AH Christian* look forward to hear : eo as the place they will finally reach, where they may enjoy forever all the happiness their nature may be ab'e to ! appreciate io the sweet association of I God and angel, the good and pure of ; all the agea. The Christian's heaven differs from that of most other religionists, in the one important particular of the cud ecipus identity of those who may be eo fortunate ae to reach its borders. In some of the old religious, and ie the osophy, the soul ol man is finally ab sorbed into the divine being and loses that identity; but not so with the Christian He believes he is co have a separate end distinct existence, each io his own individuality forever—pro gressing through the axes of the ages, in knowledge and io righteousness. Io a previous article we showed very clearly that no one has .yet ascended into heaven but Christ, and io soother article we showed just as conclusively that all the saints who have passed from the earth are waiting io paradise ths return of Christ from the heav ens. • .> In reading the Bible concerning heaven we should remember that the Jews believed there were three heav ens. The first heaven was the region of the air in which the birds fly. See an allusion to thia io Job 35:11. The second heaven was the firma ment, or the great expanse in which the stars are placed. See Matthew 24:39. The third heaven was the place where God dwelt. See Acts 7 :56. St. Paul tells us he was caught away to the third heaven, and heard things which it was not lawful for him to ut ter. The two first heavens are devoted to the physical things—they are material plains. The third heaven is purely spiritual. The location of the first and second heaven is cognizable with our senses; but the location of the third heaven cannot now be known to us—it is a matter of conjecture. We believe, however, that so far as Christians are concerned, the location ol heaven loses some of its interest from the fact that the Bible seems to intimate that its spheres will some day descend to and envelope the earth. We cannot understand the 21st chap ter of Revelations in any other light. John saw in his vision the New Jeru salem descending ont of heaven from God, and beard an explanatory voice saying, “Behold! God is tabernacled with men.” The chapter starts off with the as sertion that the old heaven and the old earth were gone, and there was no more sea, and in their stead was a new earth and a new heaven. The destruc tion of the earth, even if the word here implies a material destruction may not mean all that we have been taught to believe. If we go back to Genesis 9:12, we will find a promise that there shall not be any more flood to destroy the earth. The design of God seems to be to destroy the earth the next lime with fire. But by fire may refer to the destruction of the earth’s surface and everything on it, as the flood ex tending further with even to the dry ing up of the sea. The earth thus re generated and rejuvinated becomes a pure sphene—a heavenly sphere—a new earth—and the air above a new heaven. If our position is true the eat th will be man's heaven, and the troth of the scriptures will be realized in the prom ise that the meek shall inherit the earth. We see no other way by which the meek can inherit. It matters not, however, where heaven may be, nor does it matter whether we are to go to heaven or heaven is to come to us, it is more the state or condition in which we will be when we reach its gulden limits. In our view heaven must be the con dition in which w/may realize all the ideal perfections incident to onr grand and imperishable nature. We have discoursed on the ideal man and his capabilities, showing by abundant prpof that the powers in herent in him are of a nature almost God like, and that when freed from the flesh and its weak instrumentali ties, the spirit of man will exercise its powers to the fullest extent. The capacity to discriminate be tween songs, music, paintings and speech evinces a knowledge upon which to form a judgement—-a knowl edge which when it can be used will give us a heaven full of sweet soup* sweet music and beautiful landscapes. But the powers of the soul relate not only to eelhetical subjects, but to all subjects applicable to spirit life, and make a well rounded spiritual being > of the moat wonderful capabilities. Heaven, then, is a state gr eonditiun —one in which man ean best and most folly exercise all the wonderfol powers of his being, which are capable of end leas progression in congenial environ ments. As a place >. must be one spe cially adapted to his peculiar Ufa and to the expansion and gratification of hie highest nature. The earth, purified by the fires of the last day, and rejuvinated by the spirit of God, and enveloped by the heavenly sphere, is such a place, and Jerusalem, the city ol peace, is a type of the spirit habitations prepared for the grand and troe of eartb, which John saw descending from the skies to meu - XOZLBTB T.WWfiW HT.TTTR Its WcnderM Mtotot ths Xdvsr, Stom ach, Bewels and KMLneys- A pleasant lemon drink, that positively cures all biliousness, constipation, indi gestion, dyspepsia, headache, malaria, kid ney disease, dizziness, colds, loss of appe tite, fevers, chilis, blotches, Dimples, all impurities of the Wood, pain in the chest or back, palpitation of the heart, and all other diseases caused by a disordered liver and kidneys, the first great cause of all fa tal diseases. 50 cents and $1 per bottle.

There is a-truck driver on Green wich street, la thia city, who stands ready to demolish any man who at tempts to persuade him that horse shoes are lucky. He started up street the other day with a load of discarded horseshoes, which were to be delivered to a junk shop in tbe neighborhood. He was hardly underway when tbe tailboard of his wagon fell out, and about a bushel of the shoes were scattered on tbe pavement, and, io packing these up, one of them fell upon bis foot and injured him so that he limped for a week. While he was reloading a rapidly driven car came down the street and struck tbe rim of his wheel, demolish ing two spokes, and he bad hardly nt* loaded and started for home before hie horse took fright and ran away, de molishing his wagon and nearly kill ing him in the bargain, by throwing him against a pillar of the elevated road.
