Bishop Cox on Dancing and Theatre going.
Bishop Cox of the Episcopal Diocese of
Western New York, has issued pastoral
letter, loyeied against dancing and at
tending theatre, The Bishop says
THE enormities Of theatrical exhibi-
tions, and the lasciviousness of dances too
commonly tolerated in out times, are SO
specially pointed out as disgraceful to
the age and irreconcilable with the Cos
pei OF Christ, that feel it my duty to the.
souls of my flock to warn those who run
with the world to the same excesso of riot
in these things, that they presume not to
come to the Holy Table. Glasses preparing
for confirmation are informed that will
not lay hands, knowingly, on any one who
is not prepared to renounce such things,
with other denominations of the world, the
flesh and the devil Let all such choose
deliberately whom they will serve and
if salvation beworth striving for, let them
be persuaded to sober life, to self-de-
malls, and to the pure and innocent en-
joyments which the gospel not only per-
mis-, but which it only can create 1t is
high time that the lines should be drawn
between worldly and Cody living and
sec no use In a Lent that is not sanctifed
to such ends.--N Y Farmer.

A Touching Scene in a Felon's Cell.

A touching scene occurred, Saturday,
at the station house in New York in
which James Talland had been confined
for nearly six weeks, since he voluntarily
gave himself up on account of a suspicion
by the officials that he knew something
about the Rogers murder mystery. Tai
lands sister called, and desired to see
him, but the request was not granted.
Then, with tears in her eyes, she told her
Grand. Talland being locked up, could
do nothing for the support of his mother
AMI sister, and, as consequence, they
had that day been notified by the land
lord to pay the arrears of rent, or they
would be put into the street. The doorman
carried this simple tale of poverty to the
prisoner in his cell, and when he heard
ii the strong man sank upon his cot and
sobbed convulsively. Then he rose up
and made first but bitter protest against
his treatment II, he said, there was
anything against him, he. would not
complain; but as all the days of his rim-
prisonment had failed to give the auth
critics the least atom of evidence con-
meeting him with the murder, he did not
believe they had the right to- hold MIN
any longer. Then, stripping off his
overcoat, he pushed 1t through the bars to
the doorman, say ing: "Give her that and
tell her to pawn it it'll keep them from
starving for day, anyhow" The door.
man took the overcoat and the message
but the sister refused to take the garment

THE FUTURE PROSPECTS OF DAlRYMEN.
The next question submitted to the
Convention, was: ''Does the future pros
poets of dairymen compare favorably with
other agricultural pursuits?"
The President, Mr.. King, responded to
this question by reading an essay, in
which he dwelt upon the great demand
that would soon arise in the South Tor

by congratulating the Illinois and Wiscon-

DESTRUCTION OF STUMPs. have
always objected to the use Of machinery
of any sort to take up large stumps in or
binary arabic land, that they would take
up inevitably, large quantity of earth
with each, andleave a hole almost as OBJ
jectionable as the stump; and moreover,
that after the stumps were out there was
trouble in disposing of them. The fol
lowing suggestions which we take from
our neighbour the Baltimore Weekly Letd-
en-, may be quite practicable, while they
are not liable to the same objections.
They are at least worthy Of trial.
ave have heard of two methods of get
ting rid of stumps, as they appear sensi-
BILE and inexpensive, we hope some reader
will try and report upon them. Bore
with two inch auger, to the heart of the
stump, fill the cavity thus made, with
sulphuric acid, or crude oil of PETROLEUM.
In the first case, the acid becomes the de-
structive agent within few months; in
the latter, when the stump become satu-
rated with the oil, it is fired, and then
will burn out to the last like candle.

A LIFE GLoRIoUsLY sTAKED

LIFE GLoRIoUsLY STAKED t
Toward the close of beautiful day
in June, 1867, a man and woman,
mounted upon fleet horses, came gallop-
ing over one of the great plains Of the
West, and drew reins in the shade of q
clump of cotton-wo dis upon the bank
of beautiful river. They had ridden
far and rapidly Their steeds were

eve must give the horses breathing
spell. said the former, slipping to the
ground and his companion nodded a
graceful assent, as she followed his ex-
ample.
The couple were evidently father and
daughter. ...
The man was in the prime of life,
hale and hearty, with large frame,
which was sinewy and athletic, without
ceasing to be refined and prepossessing.
He had the keen, shrewd look peculiar
to the advance-guards of civilization,
and there was an honest, frank ex-
preston on his sun-browned face that
proclaimed his integrity and courage.
In her way, his daughter was equally
picturesque and attractive.
In the early flush of womanhood,
with pure, sweet, and tender face,
with eyes darkly glowing, with coral
tinted lips, and cheeks softly flushed
with the hue of the rose, with amber
curls floating blind her, she was rs
graceful as gazelle, as light-hearted
as a bird, as lovely as a flower, and as
spirited as an untamed antelope.
The stream by which the couple bad
halted was Wood river, branch of the
Platte, in Nebraska, at point fifty
miles northwest OF Fort Kearny.

hunter, George Dane, with fatherly

"Tired, father ?" reioined the maid

with pleasure and excitement. I feel
as fresh as yonder bird.

All the reports from Cuba which do
notcome from Spanish sourcesrepresent
the prospects of the Cubans as very
favorable. More than one-half of the
island is now held by them, and their
forces are steadily increasing in number.
Occasionally even the Spanish papers in
Havana make admissions which, at least
partially, confirm the PROCESS OF the
revolution. Thus the Prensa says that

ST0NEMAN.
He Gives the ThumbscreW AM
other Turn in Virginia.

From the New York World
The announcement that Gen. Stone
man has issued an order directing the
removal Of all State officers in Virginia
who will not or cannot take the test oath,
or iror-elad, by the 1Ssh prOXimO, may
not seem of any considerable public sig
nificsnce, and yet is. To show how, II
is necessary to state that this order Is
superinduced by that resolution OF the
Fortieth Congress which deoreed that
thirty days from date thereof no person
should hold any civil Office in either OF
the States of Virginia, Mississippi, and
Texas, unless said person could take the
oath prescribed in the act OF July z, 1867
or had been relieved of his disabilities
under the so-called fourteenth amend
ment by twO-thirds Congressional vote.
At the time the resolution was under
discussion, we indicsted that 1t was part
of c deliberate attempt to build up, by
the persuasive power OF Office, q Radical
party in the South OK better material
than has heretofore gone to constitute
that organic alton. Feeling that the ne
grOes were losing confidence in the car
Det-bag men and yet seeing it to be ali
important to hold this black balance OF
power as 8 set-off to the growing aver
sion of the North, the Radical Leaders
some time since hit on the plan OF secu-
ring weak and venal SOutherners to take
charge of the negroes and bring them up,
| In conjunction with such whites as they
might influence, to the support OF the
party. The means OF purchasing such
leaders lay ready to the hand IN the va
rious State oiticefs, anu this resolution IN
| question was therefore passed, to seques-
| ter, as 1t were, the civil establishment OF
- -, i'm
1t is perfectly well known to Congress
! that these State ofscea cannot be filed
| by testsoath men, and indeed it is not
desired by that body that they should be.
| The test-oath is merely the means OF
forcing the present incumbents to apply
| for a removal OF disabilities, and this re-
moval is only to be obtained on pledge
| of support to the Radical party. II the
official will give this pledge and prove
| his sincerity, ne is TO be allowed 20 re-
main but If not, then down comes the
oath upon him, out he goes, and in bis
place comes relisbleh man.
In Virginis, the offices thus to be util-
| ized number some three thousand IN
Texas and Mississippi, near t's thou
sand each-or about seven thoussnd IN
| all, Now, seven thousand white
washed rebels" scattered in every eoun-
ty in these three outlsyiDg States, would
be- quite an effective corps OF officers to
marshal tne negroes to the polls IN The
reconstruction elections yet . come ;
and not only useful thus, but likewise as
a standiug advertisement to 1esh-pOt
men in every other Southern State that
Office was to be had by adhesion to
the Radical party. With this as the pro-
gramme,i Gen. StonemRn's order indl-
i cafes the first stem to an attempt at its
omplIshment. That such design

enee on legislation. To all Of this Is to
be added the blind obedience with which
the Republicans " throughout the land
submit to her notions and dOgmss about
the most important, ss well as the most
trivial relations OF common life.
As of old, however, this modern Atti-
ca has or will have q rival in another
Laced amon. Illinois is looming up.
Gslena, the Sparta of the age, Is here
with her "band" +" of at least three
hundred patriots" who will defend
Grants position, which may be ikened
to the pass Of Thermopyi@, until every
mothers son of theA shall have bitten
the dust. LeOnidas, we are told, " to
avoid useless bloodshed dismissed the
greater part of his troops, retaining only
his three hundred SpGrtdns, and four
hundred Thebsns the least an some
measure as pledges Of the fidelity Of hts
coEntrynaen. King Grant, out doing
the Spartan King, it is understood Will
not retain the half of that number OF
faithful outside soldiers. To drop meta
phor, it is clear enough that MAssa-
chusetts and Illinois are to have more
than the lions share OF glory, which
means well nigh the whole Of the spoils.
Whst small pickings are to be doled out
to the suxiliaries, ss with the Thebans,
will bs "in some degree as pledges OF
the fidelity of their oountrymen," to
keep up a show Of unity in the great Re-
publican organization. This is strictly
the fact with general offices, and in msny
instances these peculiarly favored States
will control local appointments.
At the present writing there has been
"no vote reached,n as the phrase is,
upon the bill to repeal the Tenure-of-
Office act. It is certainly the most i'm
portsnt question which has ever sgtta-
ted, or which wiz ever agitste, digni-
fed, deliberstive body. The bread and
butter of countless thousands are at
stake. Untold millions of splendid dol
lars are involved Ga the other hand,
at least TWO distinct sets of loyal and
bleeding land bIed) patriots breathlessly
await the momentOas result.
Heavens! Can a Roman Senate long debate
Which OF the two to choose ?'
Sill, SO important are the conse-
quences, immediate and remote, OF this
great and ii aal arbitrsment which Is to
last for, and during four long years, that
it is feared there will yet be d long talk
before the real music will be manfuiIy
faced. y.
