The arms purchased for the State
were destroyed by an armed band of
men on the Mississippi river. The boat
was captured and the arms thrown over

am satisfied that armed resistance to

said that any change in the ticket must

change was contemplated.

The Genus Carpet Bagger.

The genus carpet-bagger is man with
lank head of dry hair, lank stomach
and long legs, club knees and splay feet,
dried legs and lank jaws, with eyes like
a fish, and mouth like shark. Add to
this habit of sneaking and lodging
about in unknown places-habiting
with negroes in dark dens and back
streets--a look like hound and the
smell Of polecat.

WHAT'S Thought of the Prospect
at Washington.
WAslnNGroN, October II.

WASHINGTON, October II.
The Democratic Committee is prcpar-
ing for prosecution of the campaign
with unwonted vigor, and find, by
comparing notes with prominent Dem
ocrats in this city, that the prospect, so
far from being gloomy, is really very
bright. FE. MI HIT
The feeling in regard to the election
of Seymour, is as deep as ever. Far
from being discouraged, tho Democrats
everywhere are resolved tolmoyc on in
their fixed purpose, and accomplish the
election of their candidates. 1900 .H
There has been II disappointment
about Pennsylvania, but the belief is
general that the Democracy of that
State intend to contest every inch of
ground. and that it is not Mt all dcspe-
rate. for the 1000 rejected Democratic
voters will vote in November. 1t is
within the recollection Of many that
Pennsylvania once gave u majority of
10000 at an October election. and in
November the unsuccessful party car
ricd the day. With Pennsylvania our
success was beyond a doubt. But we
had votes to spare, and even with her
twenty-siX votes against us we see
bright prospects for Mr. Seymour. In
winning Ohio the Clutch have only
captured Holland again. 1t has been
a fixed star of Radicalism since the
birth Of that party, and it was only the
brilliant canvass of last year which en-
couraged the hope of better things

Your Slave Forever.

An English gentleman was at one time q
passenger in Turkish vessel. During the vow
age his attention was attracted to an Intelligent
ana pleasing but very sad young Mussulman
on board. On becoming acquainted with him,
he learned some facts concerning him which
aeePiy touched his sympathies He found
that he was slave, and belonged to the cap
tain of the vessel. He had been born free, and
was rich, but had been made captive in
war; and his sad misfortunes, and the gloomy
destiny before him, were so weighing down his
spirits, that he was almost miserable under the
calling yoke. The English gentleman secretly
resolved to release HIM. SO he cautiously in
quireu OF the captain the value he set upon his
slave. Finding the price much higher than he
expected to pay, he abandoned the plan. But
every day during the voyage his affection for
the young hussulman so Increased that at last
he decided TO offer the price named. The offer
was accepted. The slave overheard the conver-
sation between the captain and the Bnglishman,
and, supposing he was buying him for his own
use, to retain him in bondage, he started up,
and sprang forward with his eyes full of fire.
and his lips trembling in indignation, and cried
out In burning rage:-
DO you call yourself q free born Briton, and
ah enemy to slavery wherever 1t exists, and yet
purchase me? Have not as much right to my
freedom as you have TO yours?N
he was about proceeding IN this strain, when
the EIglioh gentleman turned towards him and
gently sald:-
q! have bought you to set you Free"
In an Instant the angry passions all died in
the Mussuman's face. Bursting into tears, he
tell down at the feet of his deliverer, and clasp
ing his knees, he exclaimed
"You have taken my heart captive l am
your slave foreverw
This is what Jesus Christ has done for us. We
were ell of US slaves, condemned to serve him
all our lives, and at last receive eternal death
for our wages. But the Lord Jesus had campas-
slon on us, and become willing to redeem us.
The price was very great. 1t cost him his life.
At one lime, as the burden of the coming woe
pressed upon him, his flesh shrank from the
sacrifice, and he prayed that if possible the
bitter cup might pass from him. He loved us
much. He paid the price and bought US.
No human slavery can be as bitter and severe
as the bondage Of Satan. And no human free
dom can De as sweet and easy as the liberty
wheTewth Christ maketh His children free: his
yoke is easy aud his burden is light;n he
does not call his followers servants, but friends.

this country, blessed with freedom and plenty,

almost all the irreligion that disgrace aud
