James Parton concludes a recent very suggestive article upon the habits and death of Bayard Taylor, whom he had, as a personal friend, warned against the danger of wine and beer drinking and smoking, as follows:—
“Mental labor is not hostile to health and life; but I am more than ever convinced that a man who lives by his brain is of all men bound to avoid stimulating his brain. In this climate, to stimulate the brain by alcohol and tobacco is only a slow kind of suicide. Even the most moderate use of the mildest wine is not without danger, because the peculiar exhaustion caused by severe mental labor is a constant and urgent temptation to increase the quantity and strength of the potation. I would say to every young man in the United States, if I could reach him, if you mean to attain one of the prizes of your profession and live a cheerful life to the age of eighty, throw away your dirty old pipe, put your cigars in the stove; never buy any more, become an absolute teetotaler, take your dinner in the middle of the day, and rest one day in seven.”
No Gentleman Smoked in Her Presence
A YOUNG lady recently entered a railroad carriage in Paris, where there were three or four gentlemen, one of whom was lighting a cigar. Observing her, with the characteristic "politeness" of a Frenchman, he asked her if smoking would incommode her. She replied: "I do not know, sir; no gentleman has ever smoked in my presence."

—The Christian at Work says it knew of "three professed Christians, one of them a minister, who 'summered' at a watering place; one brought a copy of Sir Thomas Browne; another Shakspeare; the third a corkscrew! neither one a Bible."
—A correspondent of the Evangel labors to prove that "Christ is the tree of life." We have to read the record of God's way of grace all anew to believe that he guarded with a flaming sword the way to Christ, lest the sinner should have access to him!

The English New Testament revisers have held their ninety-first meeting, and are engaged in the second and final revision, taking under their consideration the suggestions of the American Committee.

—Although fraternal relations have been "formally established" between the North and South Methodist Churches, the South did not appoint fraternal commissioners to the Northern General Conference to be held next year. The Independent says: "That there is no real fraternity between the churches is plain to everybody. There was too much haste and too much gush," in the formal action.
—Said Dr. John Brown of Haddington, to his theological students: "Young gentlemen, you need three things to make you good ministers: learning, grace, and common sense. As to the learning, I will try to set you in the way of it; as for grace, you must always pray for it; but if you have not brought the common sense with you, you may go about your business." Let students make a note of it.
—The Nashville Advocate is alarmed at the aggressiveness of those Christians who advocate the observance of the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath instead of the first, on the ground that the seventh was the day originally appointed, and that there is no record of any divine injunction to change the day: "It shows a weak mind, if not a perverse spirit, to rest on Saturday and work on Sunday, when all Christendom is at rest. It seems captious to be asking for a divine injunction to sanction the change of day"!
—The Louisville Southern Methodist commends the statement of the Atlantic Monthly, that "one of the special dangers and defects of preaching in this country is connected with the popular liking for popular oratory in the pulpit. The common American idea of pulpit eloquence is low and sensational. It means chiefly a rapid and emphatic utterance of sonorous sentences, with something extreme, paradoxical and violent in the thought presented, though not much thought is required. People enjoy with a kind of voluptuousness the temporary stimulus."
Obituary
DIED, near Geyserville, Cal., on the 15th of August, Katie, second daughter of Sister Jane Coolidge, aged 13 years, 11 months, and 13 days. Katie had been an invalid for several years, and during her last illness suffered much. At length the weary wheels of life stood still, and she passed away to rest until the Lifegiver shall come. MRS. MINNIE HARRIS.
DIED, in San Francisco, Aug. 3, James Lyman, aged 60 years. He was a native of Derbyshire, England. He embraced the cause of the Saviour when quite young, and lived a member of the Congregational church. He received the present truth about a year ago and rejoiced in the light of the Sabbath of the Lord. He fell asleep in hope of the "better resurrection." J. H. W.
Catholic False Reasoning.
In a Catholic book entitled, The Faith of Our Fathers, a chapter on the "Infallibility of the Popes," contains the following:—
"Thus, in the third century, Pope St. Stephen reverses the decision of St. Cyprian of Carthage, and of a Council of African Bishops, regarding a question of baptism."
The conduct of Stephen, on this occasion affords evidence of the arrogance of the Bishop of Rome; but the fact that Cyprian, sustained by a council of bishops, firmly and persistently denied the authority of Stephen to do as he did, is conclusive evidence that the usurpations of the Romish Bishop were not well established nor generally acknowledged at that time. It is well known that the honor paid to a bishop in that age was not according to his rank and dignity in the church, nor his piety, but according to the importance of the city where he resided. This was the sole reason why Constantine gave the first place to the Bishop of Rome—it was the chief city of the empire.
And it was in like manner decided that the Bishop of Constantinople should be second in rank, because it was the second city of the empire, exalted to be a capital by Constantine, and sometimes called "the second Rome." But the churches which were not moved by the same ideas of national pomp and splendor, did not accord to the Roman Bishop the authority which he claimed by virtue of his location, though they were willing to give what they considered to be the honor due to his position. The right to the title of Universal Bishop, Sovereign Pontiff,—in fact, the claim of a popedom, was an afterthought, brought in to sustain arrogant claims which had grown up under the grant of Constantine.
Cyprian was recognized as a "saint," and is so denominated to this day by the Catholic church, yet he firmly resisted the encroachments of Stephen upon the liberties of the churches. Why did he retain such honor in the churches if the universal supremacy of the Bishop of Rome was acknowledged at that time, seeing that he opposed the idea of such supremacy? Perhaps we speak amiss in saying "he opposed the idea of such supremacy," for the idea had hardly taken form then; he opposed Stephen's efforts to assume a privilege which might lead to it.
Teachers' Bibles.
By Editor
AFTER a careful examination of many varieties of Bibles, we are satisfied that the Oxford Teachers' Bible presents more advantages than any other we have seen. The print is clear, and the binding substantial. In addition to the authorized text, with references, it contains much that is essential to the study of the Bible, to wit:—
1. Notes on the Old and New Testaments. 2. Index. 3. Concordance. 4. Dictionary of Scriptural Names, with their pronunciation and meaning. 5. Twelve Scripture Maps.
The price has been recently reduced, so that they can be offered even lower than the English Bibles we have previously kept.
The Signs of the Times.
OAKLAND, CAL., FIFTH-DAY, AUG. 28, 1879.
Day of Fasting and Prayer.
The cause of present truth in California has labored under many difficulties during the past year. The Conference, having only inexperienced ministers, has been without a President during the entire year. The publishing house in Oakland, has been struggling toward a position where it may be self-sustaining. But the General Conference, mindful of our wants, sent Elder Haskell to our assistance, whose labors among the churches have been the means of great encouragement to the friends of the cause. Hopes are reviving, and the prospect is brightened before us.
The time of our annual Camp-meeting is drawing near. As our work enlarges the importance of these annual convocations increases. In many respects this will be the most important meeting which has ever been held in this State. In order that it may be successful we need the special blessing of Heaven,—an out-pouring of the Spirit. We not only want to receive a blessing there, but we need to go there in a spirit of prayer and consecration to the work. Therefore, counseling with Bro. Haskell, it is decided to appoint
SABBATH, SEPTEMBER 13,
as a day of fasting and prayer. We recommend that our brethren and sisters spend the day, outside of other services, in prayer and meditation, and reading the Scriptures wherein the Lord has stated the duty and uses of fasting. We all need help from Heaven. Let us all humble ourselves before the Lord, assured that if we are consecrated to his work and glory he will hear and bless, and revive his work among us.
Healdsburg Camp-Meeting.
THIS meeting will be held in Hassett's Grove, which joins the city limits on the north-west corner. It is considered a better camp ground than any which the Seventh-day Adventists have ever occupied in California. Abundance of shade by oaks and madrona trees. Plenty of water. Provisions and fruits will be in plenty. Hay and wood can be furnished on the ground by the owner of the grove. Straw can be had for the hauling.
The accommodations will be complete, so that all who come to worship God and serve his cause may promise themselves a good time. We hope, however, that something may be just enough out of line to give the grumblers a chance to show themselves, as we always want to know who they are.
Any persons desiring to hire tents will write to G. D. Hager, Santa Rosa. Tents should be pitched by the evening of the 17th. Bring plenty of bedding.
Tickets from San Francisco and return will be $4.00.
Constitution of the T. and M. Society.
WE have received from the Office at Battle Creek, Mich., copies of a pamphlet containing the Constitution of Tract and Missionary Societies, By-Laws, questions and answers explanatory of the duties of officers, with other matter of interest and importance. It is got up in a beautiful manner, two styles, paper and flexible cloth covers, 72 pages, prices respectively 5 and 10 cents! Officers can have no excuse if they do not become well acquainted with their duties.
It can be obtained at the camp-meetings.
Assassination of Dr. Kalloch.
For several days the San Francisco Chronicle contained lengthy articles attacking the character of Dr. Kalloch, pastor of the Baptist Metropolitan Temple and Workingmen's candidate for Mayor. The character of his father, long deceased, formerly pastor of the Baptist church in Rockland, Maine, was also assailed, and the language used was such as to unfit the paper for respectable family reading.
On Friday night, Aug. 22, Dr. Kalloch returned the assault "in kind," not only denouncing the proprietors of the Chronicle, but reviving old stories of their mother and sister. His language was not only unbecoming a minister, but was such that no paper in the city would report it in full. The next morning Charles De Young, senior editor of the Chronicle, went near to the door of Mr. Kalloch's study, in a closed carriage, and sent a messenger to the doctor, who, unsuspectingly, went to the carriage, and as he attempted to look into it, he was met by a revolver pointed and fired at his breast. As he staggered back another ball was sent into his hip.
The most intense excitement was created, and from the known temper of the "sand lot" party the worst consequences were anticipated. But the leaders counseled moderation, and a riot was barely prevented. The fate of Dr. Kalloch is yet uncertain, but some hopes are entertained of his recovery.
We incline to the opinion that the advice of the Alta is the best that can be given, that all respectable people refuse to patronize those papers which make a living off the reputation of their fellowmen, and appeal to the baser passions of the baser people.
The University Opposes Hazing
By Editor
The University of California is doing itself credit in its efforts to break up the disgraceful custom of "hazing." All who love order and decency wish it success.
The Price of Labor.
It appears by a late report of the Department of Agriculture that last year agricultural laborers in England received, without board and lodging, an average per month of $15.60; in Ireland, $14.73; Scotland, $14.42; Normandy, $12.44; Italy, $15.19; Spain, $14.95; France, $13.65. Now, the question suggests itself, why does not Kearney go back to his old home in Ireland, and stir up his people to a sense of their rights and their sufferings. There they get $14.73 per month, or about 50 cents a day, and board themselves; while in California, as appears by the same report, the average pay of farm laborers, is $38.33 per month, besides board, or adding the board of $3.50 per week, or $15 per month, makes $53.32 as against $14.73 per month, in Ireland—or over 350 per cent, more for wages in California than in Ireland. There must be a fearful number of Chinamen in Ireland, to bring down the white men's wages so shockingly! Why don't "Kearney" go home and regulate affairs, before setting himself up as a reformer in this country, where they are paying the laborer over three and a half times more wages than in his own "Green Isle"? — Woodland Democrat.
