It is said by astronomers that on yesterday the heavenlybodies occupied the same positions aud delations to each other as they i id on The day of Chvst’s cruci iixion 18G2 years ago.

JefTrjs, who murdered din in Brooks county last De-j cember, was banged on last Fri day, the ">tb. He virtually con¬ fessed the killing, and as all oth¬ er murderers state, be said lie' ha \ made with God. It ’ peace »s a fact that every murderer ex- * ecuted always announces going home to the glory land, and this in the face of the scriptures which gay “No murderer shall enter the kingdom of Heaven.” The JJ y. supreme court has decided adversely ou the income tax to the extent that the law is null and void on real estate and bonds. This favors the goldbugs and bondholders—the very ones the law was intended to reach. When one department of the government would equalize the burdens of taxation, another multiplies its action. So the poor and those of moderate means have to continue to support the machinery of the government. ‘•Jes so,’’Uncle Remus, “jes so.” Mr. J. G. Franklin, a Ken¬ tuckian, who passed through from the east yesterday on his way to New Orleans, talked about Breckinridge. “Breckinridge is by no means dead up in our section,’’said he. i Le may never lie able to secure an office for himself again, but I would not bo surprised if he were able to defeat Jon Black¬ burn for the senate.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE, As the present threatening at¬ titude of foreign nations towards others has agitated the questiou which has been asked, “ Wnat is the Monroe doctrine ?” we state that President Monroe in his proclamation Dec. 2, 1823, an¬ nounced “the policy of neither entangling ourselves in the broils of Europe, nor suffering the powers of the old world to inteifere with the affairs of the new. ’’ On this occasion the pres¬ ident declared that any attempt ou the part of the European powers to "extend their system to any portion of this hem is phere would be regarded by the u > g < «S«»«l an g orou8tooljr p eace aud safety,” and would accord ingly be opposed, The Monroe doctrine does not prevent the U. 18 . goveinnient from resenting an insult from Spain or any other country. A LITERARY FRAUD. This is the title of a pamphlet which is now' on our table. The writer, T. K. Oglesby, of Atlan¬ ta, handles the Encyclopedia Bri tannica, published by Werner & Co., with gloves off. If the L.cts stated be true, Mr. Oglesby is none too severe. The idea that publishers should perpetrate out rageous falsehoods upon South¬ ern people, aud theu have the brazen effrontery to offer the books to the South is almost staggering to the refined feelings of true Southern manhood. It is almost unbearable to know that a publisher would under¬ take, under the guise of impar¬ tiality, to impress the youth of our cherished Southland that they are the offspring of rebels ami traitors, lacking in civiliza¬ tion and morals .No gold of North era publishers can hire ustocir cnlate a book that defames the ?»“">. unless,perhaps it is done under a guise which deceives us j n t 0 a complication from which we wou [(i extricate ourself so ag pqggihle. — <’§ m 4 l 'MU' KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement ana ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more products promptly adapting the world’s best to the needs of physical being, will attest remedy, Syrup of Figs. due its presenting Its excellence is to in the form most acceptable ref resiling and and pleas- truly ant to the taste, the dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation, millions and It has given satisfaction to met with the approval of the medical r y ?r;JS“,woKx„S and is perfectly free from ening them it every objectionable substance.

George Frederick Seward, nephew of W. H. Seward, has this to say, in the Cosmopolitan, of China and Japan “v hina working out her destiny, estab¬ lished a form of government two thousand years ago. That form of government has given bene¬ ficial results. If if had not it would have been swept from the face of the earth.... It is an au¬ tocratic form as beiits its Asiat icorigin..... Japan, under stress of the revolution and the inflow of foreign ideas has made a new government. It is not Asiatic, but European. It is an alien sys¬ tem.” The writer who is posted in matters of this kind—having oeen ten years consul general at Shanghai, and afterwards min - ister plenipotentiary at Peking, goes on : “It is not given to us to penetrate the future, and to tell whit may he unfolded as years go by. We may very well ask ourselves, however, wheth¬ er it is true at last the great em¬ pire is to go down, and on the other hand whether it is true that an alien system has sprung into life in Japan which is to be permanent Seward thinks Mr. that to adopt in either of these great countries political methods which do not conform with the genius of Asiatic, people, as il lustivt >d in all their history, are likely to result in failure. Jap¬ an is restless; China steady. Japan is influenced by parlia¬ mentary institutions; China moves with more respect to the old ways. The article tilings out many points of interest just at this time when China and Japan are engaged in war. A summer school < f Christian so¬ ciology is 'o be held at Oberlin in June.
