COPS OMNIsclENcE.-Go never
forget anything. All His works
from the creation of a world to the
things of leaf, are finished perfect
Did you ever stand under full
boughed, heavy foliaged tree in
summer time, and pluck one of its
myriad leaves and examine its deli
cate tracery, its coloring, the very
perfection of its finished beauty,
and then think Of the countless
number of such leaves, of the
mighty forests whose luxurious
growth covers so much of the world,
and reflect that among them all
there is not leaf unfinished, each
perfect in its form and color?
And did you ever pick flower,
either from cultured garden or by
wayside walk, enjoy its odor and
bless it's beauty, and stop to think
how all the wide earth blossoms
with such fragrant beauty, and no
flower of them all forgotten-the
same careful hand filling each glow
ing heart with perfume and coloring
each leaf with care? When we
think of this omniecience, of this
never failing care, we feel some
thing of the attributes of that Pow
yet ever present; un
touched, yet ever felt-who gives
to the violet it's color, to the rose
it's fragrance, who tints with beauty
the tiniest leaf, and yet whose hand
controls the planets in their courses,
whose fiat rules the countless

It is surprising 70 observe how

presents, after more than a year OF
burdensome. official responsibility
and worriment of, to him, unprece-
dented confinement and labor. Still
fresh-looking, comfortable. quiet.

ought to be known, for. it is a good
thing to know that the domestic

Funeral Rites in Greenland.

There are some. very curious fu
neral rites in Greenland, where, on
it's becoming evident to the friends
and relations of an Esquimau1 that,
either from sickness or old age, lie
is in a very bad way, solemn con
clave is assembled and a long con-
sultation held, in which it 10 debated
fpro and con whether the sick man
can recover. Should it be decided
against him, the fiat is announced
to the sick man as fact in which
the sick man is bound to acquiesce.
No extravaganza demonstration Of
grief accompanies this avowal, for
It seems to be regarded by all par
ties as an inevitable law of nature
that the man must die, and they
therefore accept it philosophically.
Soon after the decision is made
known to the patient he is borne to
the door of his snow hut by his
friends, bow and arrow placed in
his hands, and witE such strength
as is left to him he shoots; and as
the arrow leaves the bow string 80

RICHMOND, April 2S.-Last night
a great meeting of the Cahoon and
Ellison police was held, at which
resolutions of respect to the mem
ory Of their deceased brothers were
adopted, and it was agreed that both
parties should join in and partici-

Apparently the calamity is much
greater than yet reported. The
number of killed will reach over six

be over two hundred.
To-day all houses of business
were closed in consequence of the
calamity at the Capitol. The streets
are filed with funeral corteges. In

Novel Remedy for SWEARING ,

A California paper commenting
upon the great temptations to the
sin of profanity in that country,
says: :"An intelligent lady Of our
acquaintance, whose little boy was
beginning this strange talk, anxious
to explain to her child the horror
of profanity, hit upon the novel pro-
cess of washing his mouth with
soap suds whenever he swore. 1t
was an efectua1 cure. The boy un-

The Woman's Protest.

A large number of the most prom
inent women Of Washington, D. c.,
with Mrs. Admiral Dahlgrecn as
their leader. are engaged in obtain
ing signatures to the following men,
orial to Congress. The list Of sign
ers is already very large, and the
movement is rapidly gaining
strength
"We the undersigned do appeal
to your honorable body, the Con-
gress assembled of our beloved
country, in the firm belief that our
petition represents the sober con-
victions of the majority of the wo-
men of the country. Deeply and
painfully impressed by the grave
perils which threaten our peace and
happiness in the movement initiated
by some discontented of our own
sex, and which has found its expires
sion in your honorable body,
through resolution recently offer
ed in the House of Representatives

radical changes in our civil and po-

because we shrink from the no

inalienable right, we find ourselves
in measure defenseless against tht
public assaults and declamatory har
angues of those few discontentet
ones of our own sex, who claim fol

because those of us who are

From New York Sunday Nj
REV. HORACE COOK.
Westward EoI-Mafriage Of the
Eloping Young Lady-A Lover
whose Faith Could Not be Shaken.

Since the final scene at the New
York East Conference, and the vote
was cast which declared him crimi-
nally unfit for the Methodist minis
try, the Rev. Horace Cook, accord
ing to report, has been engaged in
packing up his effects preparatory
to starting to the west. His desti-
nation VII probably be Minnesota.
For several weeks the disgrace he
had broupht upon himself weighed
heavily, and he might have sunk
under the burden of it only for the
devotion of his good wife, who stuck
to him like true Christian through
good and evil report and succeeded
in .endearing herself to him more
than ever before.
Among the number of his fast
friends are several ladies who were
converted through his efforts at the
Seventh street Methodist church.
MISS HATTIE JOHNSON,
the young girl who was the COM
panion of Cooks flight to Philadel-
phia, since her return has not been
followed up so closely by the news
papers, and q short sketch of her
life from that time will be particu-
larly interesting. While yet quite
young, and before leaving school,
she became an object Of admiration
to a young business man in the city.
He loved Ler, but her father was
unwilling that she should be married
at such a tender age, and postponed
the matter indefinitely. An engage
ment really existed between the
young people, when Hattie began
to receive attention from Cook. As
matter of course the young man
never suspected that there could b.
anything wrong, and continued bis
visits to her house up to the
day ofthe elopement, when the
news Of the affair reached him.. He
felt the disgrace very keenly. but
cherished no unkind thoughts to
ward Hattie. -.
When she was restored to her
family, with the word of Cook that
she Was still as pure as ''the
beautiful snow," her lover returned
to his allegiance, and approached
the poor girl as affectionately as
ever. He freely forgave her indis-
cretion, and declared that the love
he bore her was still warm and true,
and proposed to marry her with all
due dispatch. Mr.. johnson ques
toned him very closely upon this
state of his feelings, and was some
what surprised to find him SO ready
to forgive. For a few weeks he
continued to call every day at the
house, and pay court to the young
girl, until her heart was sincerely
touched by his unselfish .deyotion,
and she consented to be his wife, on
condition that in after life he shoul
never allude to her girlish folly. It
was then arranged that there should
be short pro bationary season du-
ring which time he was 20 search
his heart thoroughly, and She was
to have her dresses made. When
she eloped few articles of clothing
we're taken, as Cook intended to
purchase splendid outfit for her in
Philadelphia.
THE MARRIAGE

THE MARRIAGE.

In accordance with the arrange
ment the young couple were Joined
in wedlock, and after the usual fes-
tivities, left the. city on a wedding
tour. The marriage was published
in one of the papers, but attracted
no notice, owing to the name OF
johnson being now almost as famii-
la as Smith. The bride and bride
groom returned to the home OF the
brides father in the Ordinary course
of events, but they EVENTUALLY pro-
cured snug little home for them
selves, and are, at this writing,
living as happily together as if there
never had been such a man in the
world as Horace Cook. 1-

The New Hampshire Democrats are told
by the Concord Patriot that success rs not
impossible for them in the March election,
but before they can grasp it there are diff
culties to be removed, differences to be har
monized. prejudices to be overcome, and
confidence to be inspired. This is a big job
for the New Hampshire Democrats.
