REVEALS OF RELIGION.

Gratifying religious intelligence is
reaching us from many portions of our
land. Several places in Illinois are visi-
ted at the present time with showers of
heavenly influence. A letter just re-
ceived from Missouri reports revivals in
West-Ely and Hannibal. In the, former
place more than thirty persons, and in
the latter, more than forty are numbered
among those who have passed from death
unto life. The st Louis Bulletin tells of
an interesting state of religious feeling in
some of the congregations in that city.
Such seasons of refreshing from on
high are to be expected with repeated
frequency and renewed power. The
public and the private mind--now rising
from high political agitation-is prepared
to receive the permanent impressions of
religious truth.-Peoria Reg.

Wing members of the last Legislature Of
North Carolina Whose active associate he
has been for several years. unanimously
nominated and recommended Mr. Badger
as emlnently qualified to make an able
Attorney General in President Harrison's
Administration.
In the foregoing. it is not designed to
represent Mr. Badger as mere lawyer.
There is no region of thought to which
his mind has been directed, i'll which he
has not exhibited the highest and most
commanding powers of intellect. If he
shall accept the appointment rendered to
him, have not the slightest doubt, nor
need his friends entertain the least mis-
giving, that he will take the most mastery,
commanding, and statesmanlike views of
all the interests of the Navy, and, as far
as one man can do it, elevate it to that
position that our rapidly increasing re-
sources. extending commerce, and the
present state of the world may require.
While he will bring these large and
comprehensive views to the subject with a
rare capacity for business, he can also
descend to the most exact precision in the
minutest detail. He unites, in short.
every qualification for the station he is
called to. He is now in the meridian and
full vigor of life, and no man living en-
joys purer and more spotless reputation
for probity and honor.

From the Boston Atlas.

The life Of an editor is not, after ALL,
without its green spots. True it is we
have enemies-but we have also many,
very many friends, and one good and
reat friend is more than an equivalent for
host of those who wish us i'll. AS an
Oasis in the desert derives all its beauty
and attraction from the contrast which it
presents to the surrounding waste, so we
could not rightly appreciate friend
were he not placed in daily contrast with
a surrounding waste of selfshness and
hostility. We do not remember to have
felt more strongly convinced that we too
are not without at least our share of real,
warm-hearted friends, when. after If re-
cent severe illness, we found ahat the
kindness and generosity Of a few gentle
men had supplied us with new and
splendid press, the value Of which is a.
bout two thousand dollars. 1t is indeed
magnificent affair, but the intrinsic value
of the present is as nothing, in our eyes,
compared with the kindness that prompt
ed the gift. Such moment is more than
ample compensation for years of fierce
contention, with the sneers and envy of
rivals, and the open hostility and detrac-
ton of opponents. May these generous
friends-aye-may all our friends-live
for thousand years, and may their shad-
ows never be less.
OF The tribute above noticed in terms
equally graceful and grateful, was well
deserved. Long has the Atlas stood in
the front rank, among the ablest papers of
the Union, and its many friends through
out the country attest the value and inter-
est which have been impaired to its col
umns by Major HAUeHroN. We sim
cerely congratulate him upon the good
fortune-justice perhaps we should say
which has fallen to his lot.
Missouri AND Iowa BoUNbARY.-It
appears that the ex-Hon. Bedford Brown,
of North Carolina has been appointed
Commissioner on the part of Missouri,
for running the boundary line between
this State and Iowa. Missouri has the
appointment of one, and the President the
appointment of another, and they two Sc
lect a third Commissioner for this pur-
pose. Col. Benton wrote the late law of
Missouri on this subject, and no doubt he
made the nomination of Mr.. Brown. 1t
was bruited about in whispers, this win
ter, at Jefferson City, be fore it was known
who would be the Commissioners on the
part of this State and the u. States, that
they were to select Mr.. Van Buren, as
the third Commissioner, and sure enough,
matters appear to be in this train. No
doubt Mr.. Brown will be willing enough
to select Mr.. Van Buren, as a colleague;
and it will be the easiest thing in the
world fol MIR. Van Buren, to appoint a
person who will in turn select himself
so that some of these months we may ex.
pect to have another 'great expelled a.
among us. But, the Great Humbugger
having passed the lao, and appointed all
the Commissioners himself, the chances
of poor Iowa are but slim, for securing
her claims to the "disputed territory. -
While this may secure to the Humbug-
ger the Electoral vote of Missouri in 1914,
it may also deprive him of the vote Of
Iowa.-Missouri Republican.
And it will too.-Ed. HaUkeye.

l:eved by him. las far US his knowledge and informa
ton eS,ends) that large reduction might be made N
the expenses of these institutions. The number Gi
clerks might be curtaed, the salary OF some oil te
officers reduced, particularly al the different branches
without any emba rrassment TO the proper conducting
of the business The Banks daily becoming more
unpopular, and confidence in them will continue to d.
mnish SO long they do not pay their debts III Pfcie
The curtamcnt of their expenses, is one important
step toward that desirable object and it IS earnestly
hoped that the Stockholders at their meeting IN jana-
ary will this matter INTO consideration and by re-
solution recommend 10 the several Board OF Directors
curtalnen Of their expenses, as lar az can properly
be done Many of the Stockholders are entirely Gno-
