DODGEVILLE, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II.

his bull would be the victor, but al
length the stranger began to have the
best of it, and the deacon fearing the
defeat of his favorite, took hand in the
fight himself. He tore rail from the
fence and rushed at the black bull,
punching and pushing him in the rear,
and striving to drive him back to his
pasture. The attack instead of attain
ing it's object only increased the animals
rage, until with one fierce lunch he laid
his antagonist on the ground, pierced
him through the chest with one thrust Of
his sharp horns, and laid him dead in an
instant.
No sooner had he finished his work
in front, than, like a good soldier, he
made for the enemy in the rear /; and the
deacon made for the opening in the fence
with the believing monster close at his
heels.
Away they went, deacon and bull,
straight for the house, the first putting
and blowing under his fearful speed, the
last paving and believing in manner
to strike terror into frmer hearts than
that of the deacon 1t was a terrible
race but the deacon won it by few
yards, just slamming the door of the house
in the face of the bull, and rushing to
the kitchen for safety In moment he
heard with terror the blow of the mon
ster's head upon the door; second
thump and down it went, admitting
him to the hall
The door of the parlor stood open,
and upon the wall opposite was large
mirror, the pride of the deacon's wife
and daughter, and the choice piece of
their household goods. The bull did
not waste time, but seeing his imagg
in this glass, made one rush, scatterine
the glass in minute particles, and shak-
ing the house with the crash.
By this time the deacon began to re-
cover his wind and his presence of
mind and think Of a loaded gun hang
ing over the mantle in the Kitchen
Rendered desperate, he clntched the
weapon and rushed to the door of the
parlor. The bull spied him instantly
and made rush-his last-for almost
running the muzzle Of bis gun into his
head, the deacon fired, and dead bull
blocked up the hall, deluging the floor
with his blood just as the family present.
ed themselves at the door on their re-
turn from church
The CONSERVATION of all may be i'm
agined, and the deacon had nothing for
it but to make clean beast and confess
his Sabbath breaking, pay the stranger
for his bull, hand over the hundred dol
lars, make beef of the carcases. and
good resolutions about bull lighting for
the future.

The Last of Ugarte.

History has hardly recordeda tragedy
so heart-rending as the burning of the
Cathedral at Santiago. Although we
have become accustomed to the carnage Of
warfare, this terrible and sudden vista
tion of death has startled the whole
country. The graphic, too graphic, de-
tails of the conhigration, sweeping like
whirlwind through the cathedral, the
thousands Of lamps falling and explod-
ing among the terrified people, the
writhing, agonizing forms Of the most
horrible Of tortures, and the distraction
of friends without, doomed to stand by
and see their loved ones expiring almost
within their grasp, while Ugarte and
his fraternity are busy in saving can
dlesticks and carpets from the fire they
have kindled, and in consoling the peo-
pie with the blasphemous declaration
that Chill needed more saints and mar
tyrs," make the blood run cold, and leave
sting the pain Of which will long re-
main.
And it is the most dreadful part of
this horrible narrative that this sacrifice
was the direct result of superstitlous
mummeries imposed upon an ignorant
and crednlous congregation of women by
wary and cunning priests inspired by the
love of power and greed of gain. The
miserable impostor Ugarte stands before
the world, as he viii stand in eternity,
responsible for the slaughter. 1t is
Ugarte who has blinded these simple
people with celestial post Offices and 9TH
er such wretched jugglery Ugarte who
hung the Cathedral full of combustible
stuff, and then as if purposely to destroy
the church, suspended thousands of
lamps filled with the most infammable
liquids to dazzle the people; Ugarte,
who, upon seeing the helish work he
had dole, retreated by the sacristy door
and closed it that no one might escape
from the fame in that direction ; Ugarte,
who. while the fire was sweeping thro'
the church, and men and women were
burning by the thousands, busted him
self by carrying off carpets, candlestics
and images to cigar shops Ugarte, who
announced to the agonized people that
| Chill needed more saints, and with not a
word of sympathy for the bereayed, mol
consolation for the dying. coldly gather
his robes about him. and tells them t:
be happy for all their friends, now black
cned and roasted corpses, have gone t.

the Virgin Mary Ugarte. who sands
near the ruins and threatens violence to
any one who shall attempt to demolish
the walls.
But, we thank God, that Ugarse as
the representative Of superstition was
overpowered, and that the Government
barred it's arm and interposed for the
people. We can see but one cheerful
fact in this horrible slaughter, and that is
that the people have determined to
through off the yoke that has beund
them, and that henceforth they will wor-
ship God in the glorious light ofreli gious
liberty. The day Of superstition in that
country is over. Ugarte henceforward
fades from sight only to be remembered
with shuddering and horror. 1t is anoth-
er sign that the world is moving, and
that the light Of civilization and religious
liberty is beginning to penetrate those
countries which have been tied down so
long under the yokessof superstition and
jugglery The change has been bought
at a fearful price-by a holocaust un-
equaled in the annals of the world. Out
Of the fire comes publication. and the
days of Ugarte are over. Henceforward
his name is synonym of horror. We write
against no sect or faith. We are in
favor offull religiouslberty, and of every
mans worshiping the Deity as he pleases
but we do write against superstition and
Ugarte, assume whatever form he may.

''For am not ashamed Of the Gospel of Christ,
for it is the power Of God unto salvation to every
that beleveth. ."-RoM. I: l6.
TIE Gospel is the most improved,
and, last edition, Of Gods published
will. The fullness Of its blessings
radiate in beams Of light, from a me-
ridian Sun, whose vertical rays fall
from its zenith Of glory and grand
eur, Illuminating the pathway of hu-
man duty and destiny.
1t was not always thus. Darkness
covered the earth. The first beam
of light divine struggled through
from heaven with feeble gimmer-
ing ray, as single stars peer out
through the stormy sky. Then fol-
lowed many stars, that side by side
stood sentinel, each throwing light
upon the other, until these angel
watchers filled the canopy above us,
with the radiance Of truth. Then
the bright and glorious morning star
followed, the grey dawn spread above
the eastern horizon, and the Sun of
Righteousness appeared. Amid this
blaze of gospel day, we stand as ad-
vocate and object Of the gospels
power, declaring, Il am not ashamed
Of the gospel Of Christ"
No advocates. or champions, have
such a ground Of confidence as We.
The assurances of an eternal reality
in the truths and experience Of the
gospel are now beyond question CT
doubt. Christianity rests not only
on chain of prophetic details evi
dencing its emanation from the All 4
knowing One nor does it depend
on the testimony of history for its :
gauthentication. sit hath been said, "
was popularity of former dispen-
sation. Now II say unto you, takes
its place And the personal exhibit
ton of the Christ life, supercedes the
elaborate detail Of mere argument,
and becomes living testimony to
the living truth. The Apostles
startling words have this signifca-
ton ITO live is Christ meaning
that every personal exhibition Of the
life Christ lived, is duplicate copy
of Christ on earth.
The most powerful arguments for,
and against religion, are drawn from
the individual character Of its pro-
fessed friends. And the experience
of its truth, the realization of it's
power, when exhibited in the life of
Christian, constitute an argument
no skepticism can gainsay., The
presence of living epistles, known
and read Of all men, gives additional
force to the declaration, II am not
ashamed of the gospel Of Christ"
The occasion-these dedicatory
services-make it fitting that the
character and mission of Christianity
should be the theme of discussion.
And the following general PROPOSE
tions are submitted:
/. The truths of the gospel cover
the whole moral field, and complete
ly instruct man in all that pertains
to human relations, responsibility,
duty, destiny.
This completeness has been mani
fest now more than eighteen centu-
ries. Every other field of inquiry
has given back additional informa-
ton Every other science has en-
larged its sphere. But moral truth
has had no additions, nor human du-
ties any new aspects for nearly two
thousand years.

"FOr Mother, Mind, Chaplain"

ITwas just after the battle of Williams
burg, where hundreds of our brave fell
lows had fallen, never to bear arms again
in their country's cause, ,,and where hum
dreds more were wounded, that soldier
came to the tent of delegate of the
Christian Commission, and said "Chap-
lain one of our boys is badly wounded,
and wants to see you right away"
Hurriedly following the soldier, says
the delegete, [ was taken to the hospital
and led to bed upon which lay noble
young soldier. He was pale and blood
stained from terrible wound above the
temple, | saw at glance that he had but
few hours to live upon earth. Taking
his hand, said to him, "W ell, my BROTH
er what can | do for you %
The poor dying soldier looked up in
my face, and placing his finger where
his hair was stained with his blood, he
said, Chaplain, cut a big lock- from here

lain,' said the dying man, II want you
to kneel down by me and return thanks
to God" "For what % | asked. For
giving me such a mother. Oh I!
chaplain, she is a good mother her
teachings comfort and console me now.
And, chaplain, thank God that by his
grace | am Christian. Oh what
would | do now if wasn't a Christian ?
| know that my Redeemer liveth. | feel
that his finished work has saved me.
And, chaplain, thank God for giving me
dying grace. He has made my dying

him for the promised home in glory.

no war, nor sorrow, nor desolation, nor
death-where IU see Jesus, and be
forever with the Lord"
| knelt by the dying man, and thank
ed God for the blessings he had bestow-
ed upon him-tha blessings Of good

grace, to bear testimony to Gods faith
