A Mariners Comments on the Sermon.

A Mariners Comments on the Sermon.
Captain C was not a church. .goer,
indeed, he never crossed the portals of tho
sacred ediice, much to the disgust of his
Puritanical neighbors, and greatly to the
sorrow of his wife. A final pressure was
brought to bear upon the old man, and he
concluded that he would 80 just once, to
see how he would like it. The clergyman,
unwilling to allow such an opportunity to
slip, determined to give his church full of
people good sermon that day, and also
give Captain c. one that he would fully
understand and appreciate. He drew
picture and he likened the good Christian
to the staunch and noble ship. He took
his ship new, had her thoroughly fitted
cut, and described at length the taking on
board the anchor, which he very careless
ly left lying on the rail without being at
tached to the cable. Captain c. was at
home when you talked "ship," and he lis
tened very attentively to the recital, drink
ing in every word that came from the
divine's lips. The latter, noting the inter-
est of the Captain, felt highly delighted,
and went on in storm of eloquence. His
ship went out to sea, was met by ceunter
winds and bowling blasts, was tossed to
and fro by the angry sea, and many times
came near shipwreck. All this time Can.
tain G. listened closely, losing no word,
yet evidently much troubled in mind.
Finally, the good man, after subjecting the
vessel to all the trials and tribulations
his imagination could invent, brought her
into port. Before steady breeze she
came sailing in-one after another were
her sails clewed up and furled, and she
came on to her anchorage ground. Tho
order was given, and over the side went
the "mud-hook." Captain c. could not
stand this. While all was still in the
church and every sound save the divines
voice was hushed, the old man jumped up,
brought his two large fists together, and
his voice, like a tornado, echoed through
the building as he shouted: BY
he's lost his anchor !" The people were
astonished at the sacrilege, and the good
wife of Captain G. burst into tears as she
tried hard to quiet the excitement under
which her lord labored. He would have
his say, nor would he be quieted until he
explained what fool man must be to
let 60 an anchor without having bis cable
attached to it. The people of H will
justify us in the statement that Captain G..
was never again invited to 60 to church.

Mahometanism have had the opportunity,
they have taken advantage of the preiu-

ment," says Stern, ''of the Mahometans,
to drive into the middle of them this
mutilated animal, which they considered
unclean." The author of "Summer
Ramble in the Himalayas' observes that,
although the domestic swine is held in
such utter adherence by all but the very
lowest caste, the flesh of the wild pig is
much esteemed by all classes. Even the
Brahmins, officiating at the Gangootree
temple, who, in strict observance of their
creed, ought not to eat flesh OF any kind,
consider it great treat.
Sir Walter Scott says that "pork or
swine's flesh in any shape, till of late
years, was much abominated by the Scotch,
nor is it yet favorite focd among then.''
King James l. carried this antipathy to
England. Ben johnson has recorded this

CONGREGATIONAL GENERAL ASSOCI.
ALTON.

The ministers and delegates compo-
sing the General Association of Con-
gregational churches of Kansas, held
their annual meeting, at Leavenworth,
last week, commencing on Wednesday
and closing on Saturday. Rev. j. ID.
Bell, of this city, was in attendance, and
has furnished us the following summa-
ry of the more important proceedings
of that body:
The missionary committee reported
that during the past year nine new
churches were organized, and that the
net gain to all the churches of the
State in numerical strength was four
hundred members. The State agent OF
the American Home Missionary Socie-
ty, Rev. Harvey Jones, reported that
the missionary board at New York had
appropriated, during the year, eighteen
thousand dollars in aid of dependent
churches in the State; that the churches
had raised by collections for the use Of
the board seven hundred and ninety
three dollars, or about three hundred
dollars more than the amount raised
last year, and that he retired with sat
isfaction from the agency, to give place
to Rev. j. q. Merrill, of Topeka, WHIT
had been appointed in his stead. i
was voted to endeavor to raise from al
sources, during the coming year, thu
sum of 100000 for Washburne college
at Topeka. EmpOria was selected a
the place at which 10 hold the mex
meeting of the Association.

Rev. Chas. b. Smythe, pastor of one
of the leading churches in New York,
lately preached sermon in reference to
the position OF the Catholics respecting
the Public Schools" There being
present several reporters of different
leading city papers, the Rev. gentleman
was requested by one of them after the
conclusion of the services to allow them
the use OF his manuscript in order to
gather few statistics. They were ac-
commodated. Mr.. Smythe then invit-
ed them to a restaurant near at hand to
partake of luncheon, it being the GUS
tom of Mr.. Smythe, we believe, owing
to the fact that his residence is at dis
lance OF four miles from his church, to
thus partake of a repast each Sabbath to
recuperate the physical exhaustion con-
sequent upon the pulpit services. Upon
the occasion referred to, the Rev. gen.
tleman asked his guests "what they
would take" Some took one thing and
some another, while the gentleman him
self called for gin and milk. There ap-
peared the next morning in the Sun a
full report of the whole matter, detail
ing, with considerable exaggeration, the
particulars in reference to the gin and
milk. He was placed on trial by his
church and was found guilty of the Of
Tense of partaking of the clerical bev-
erage above mentioned, that too with
out previously saying grace. and for
this offense was rebuked by his church.
He has since resigned his pastorship
and will take charge OF another con-
gregation. It seems too bad that so
disgraceful q thing as this will happen
now and then to put to shame the whole
body OF Christians.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

Most of the large cities of this coun-
try have large public libraries, while
others that as yet have them not, are
making the initisl arrangements for
their foundation. The largest public
library In the United States is the Lii
brary of Congress at Washington City.
1t contains $4,000 volumes. 1t was
founded in 1900 by an outlay of $1,000
authorized by an act of Congress. In
1914 1t had grown to 5000 volumes, but
was destroyed in that year by the burE-
ing of the capitol by the British army.
1t was again founded by the purchase of
Thomas Jefferson's splendid library
consisting of $500 volumes for which
Congress paid $4,000. In 1851 it was
partially destroyed again by fire. 1t
embraced at this time collection of
5000 volumes, $4,000 of which were
destroyed. Congress thereupOn made
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
purchase of new books and about
100000 for the rebuilding of the libra
ny room. To guard against future ac-
cfdents by fire the library building was
this time made of iron. Further addi-
tons were made to this building in
1866. The libraries of the Smithsonian
Institute and of Peter Force were added
about this time, so that now it is the
largest library in the United States. The
next largest is the Boston Public Lii
brary which embraces $4,000 volumes
and enjoys an annual income of $4,000,
derived partly from capital fund and
partly from an appropriation by the
city authorities. The Astor Library, o
New York, founded by Mr.. Astor, who
gave 100000 for "a public library ac
cessible at all reasonable times an'
hours, for general use, free of expcns
to persons resorting thereto" is thu
third in size and contains 139, 900 vol
umes. Harvard College has library o
l1S,OO0 volumes. The Boston Athene
um contains loo, 900 volumes, and is yer
rich in collections of periodicals. Phil
adelphia has fine library, and wealth
man has just died there who has LEI
q million dollars for the establishment
of another. Cincinnati and st. Loui
are making arrangements for foundin
libraries on n large scale.

AMERICUS.

w. II. Spooner, Esq, of the Topeka
Commonwealth, thus speaks of his re-
cent visit to Americas:
'cBut before we leave Lyon county,
we will 90 OH to Americas, where we
spent the evening. We first bent our
steps toward Russ. Handall's land of
flee. We found him "tO hum" and had
a long chat with him, in the course of
which we learned much about Ameri-
Gus and the surrounding country. The
citizens of this enterprising town have
shown their patriotism and voted bonds
to build new school house. which,
when completed, will be the finest in
the county, (except the Normal, of
course.) The town has more than
doubled her population in the last few
months. This move for a new school
house will double it again and again we
have not the least doubt. This IL essen
TALLY a cheese country. Many dairy
men have settled in here and gone into
the manufacturing OF cheese. The
Americas cheese has acquired State
reputation, and the desire ofthe people
of this town is that she and the cheese
manufacture shall be identical. We
hope it may be so, for this branch of
industry will bring in wealth and capt.

SENATOR ROSS SPEECH.

BY far the ablest speech that has thus
far been made on the bill providing for
the sale of the Usage Indian lands was
made on the 9th inst. In the Senate by
Senator Ross. Mr.. Ross took strong
ground In favor Of the sale of these
lands and declared himself in favor of
allowing railroad corporations, on GER
tain conditions, to purchase them. He
allowed in a clear and forcible manner
that it was for the interest, not only of
the State of Kansas, but of the Govern
ment itself, rs well as for the advance
ment of civilization that these lands be
purchased from the Indians and thrown
omen to actual settlers. The speech was
comprehensive of the whole subject, and
upon its conclusion Senator stewart of
Nevada rose aud thanked Mr.. Ross for
having thrown more light on the ques-
ton than had been shed by all the
speeches heretofore made ut this whole
,ssion Of Congress ON this subject.
,-nator Pomeroy compllmented his
colleague and concurred heartily in his
views. The people of this State owe
much 10 Senator Ross for this able effort
to secure the passage of measure OF
such vital importance to them, and we
believe they will appreciate il. Every
eitizea OF Kansas ought to read that
speech. With regard to the passage OF
the bill this session there is much doubt
1t is strenuOusly opposed by Senator
Morrill, and others, who, like him, look
Mt the Indian with an imaginative eye
and possess very humanitarian 2.
ideas concerning him. 1t Is all very
nice to advocate these fine spun theorie.
with regard to the rights of poor LO
without knowing anything about the
true condition of things; but It ISM
very sensible after all. Senator Ross
insisted that the Indians desired to leav'
their reservation which for the mos
part has come to be o very poor hunting
ground and to go where game Is mOr'
plenty. And this we believe Is reall!
the fact. The Wsstern people, who arr
capable of looking at this matter intel
ligently, practically are unit In the de
sire that this reservation should speedi
~ come into market.

Clement L. Vallandigham has declar-
eel himself In favor OF woman's suffrage.
At the late wOman's suffrage convention
ut DAYTON, Ohio, the home of that pa
triot, he openly gave in his allegiance to
the woman's movement. He was not
very cordially received by some of the
ladies, who, either because they were
jealous of his exclusive attentions to
Miss Anthony or because they object to
him on account of his odious political
record, gave him anything but q cordial
reception.

CELEBRATION BY THE COLORED Peg
PIE AT BURLINGTON.
BrRLINoroN, AIay 16th. 1s70.

BURLINGTON, May 10th, 1870.
The eolored people ofthis place, Joined
by those in the vicinity, celebrated the
event of their emancipation, on Friday
last. 1t is true here, as of some other
places, that the colored people are in
great need of influences from among
themselves that will lead them to the
more intrinsic of the higher aspirations,
those that are real and useful rather than
those that are fictitious, and can confer
no real benefits.
Two addresses were delivered ON the
occasion by colorcd men. The first was
by Mr.. Revels who lives here, and is
said to be a nephew of the Senator of
that name. He possesses considerable
ability, both as thinker and speaker.
and with culture would be likely to be-
come useful to his people, for his ideas
of their principal wants seem to be just.
The other speaker, who is preacher
and has charge of congregation, has
unusual facility in the use of words; and
is indeed popular speaker, (having re-
gard chiefly to his actiOns,) but his ca
pacity to exert proper influences over his
people seems to be rather doubtful. He
seemed to have some ideas as to what
would constitute an improved condition
of his people, but they partook more OF
ambition for social position than for
that which would contribute most to
their real good. He said, ''they were
said to be free while they were not, and
that they would not be truly free until
they were admitted to the tables OF
their white neighbOrs to sip their cup
of coffee with them" The attendance
was not as large as was expected, and
was well provided for, as none came
from distant places. The taste displayed
in the arrangements would have been 6
credit to any people. G.
