WASHINGTON, May Is, 1870.
Rev. DR.. Rankin, pastor Of the First Congrega-
tional church. preached a very large congregation
to-day the subject OF his discourse being Bartmeus'
appeal to Christ for the restoration of his sight,
corded in Mark X, Al. He pictured the blind
Bartmeus sitting IN his accustomed place
begging aims OF the passers by, who, when
he heard that Jesus was coming, forgot
his customary appeal for charity, and, with
remarkable faith and easnestness begged the gilt he
most needed and which Jesus alone coald beslow.
From this incident he drew the lesson that faith and
perseverance are necessary to obtain Gods mercy,
rcmarkng that men, like Bartlmeus
BLINDLY BEG FOR EARTHLY THINGS,
but unlike him, fail to understand and
ask for what they most require, while
Jesus of Nazareth is passing by. He parti-
cularly impressed upon his congregation the
truths that men must be convinced OF their sins and
the necessity Of forgiveness ana that Christs pardon
must be sought an unmerited favor and not as an
insurance policy to be had by paying the costs. and
closed by warning them not no act the part OF those
who tried to prevent Bartimcus from gaining the no
tice Of the Saviour but rather TO encourage and aid
all who sought Him.

ever, owing to the fact that on the day of the

candidates for the latter Offices, it is probable
that heavy Democratic vote will be cast

That excellent journal, the Omaha Herald,
publishes an article Of great interest by DR.. II.
LsruAr upon the country between the Missouri
river and the Rocky Mountains. Or. LATHAM
shows that this vast region, which includes some
thing like one-fourth VI the srea Of the United
States, is better adapted ior grazing aud sheep
breeding than any other part Of North America
This comes from the fact that the native CRUISES
of the region supply the best possible food Cor
animals, and that tho climate is such that they
can run out all the winter. In some parts Of this
region snow tails but il is uniformly 80 dry that
it does not freeze upon the ,kins Of the animals,
and causes them Inconvenience. Dr. L~ruAn
publishes number Of letters from persons who
have bad great experience in grazing stock In the
valleys Of Colorado. Wyoming. Utah, and Dako-
ia. Their testimony is unanimous. One writer
who has graIed twenty thousand head Of cattle
says that the summer-cured grass Of the plains
and valleys is superior 10 any bay and that the
proportion Of loss in wintering stock there Is
much less than in the States where cattle are
stabbed and fed on corn and hay The purity and
dryness Of the air are also exceedingly favorable
10 growing wool. There Is no doubt thai this
vast region will, In due time be the great source
from which the beet, mutton, hides, and wool Of
the rest Of the Union will be mainly derived.
