"SHOOsT so LONG AS IT VAs!'-A Chica-

ing a recent trial before Justice Dougherty it
was thought important by counsel to deter
mine the length Of time that certain two quar-
ters Of beef, two hogs and one sheep remained
in an express wagon in front Of plaintiff store
before tlIsy were taken away by defendant.
The witness under examination was German,
whose knowledge of the English language was
very limited; but he testified in very plain,
straightforward way to having afterward car
ried it out and put it into the aforesaid wagon.

interests, but she is far reaching in her plans
Of benevolence. Innumcrable enterprises. such
as the Tract Bible, Sunday School Union,
Church Extension, Missionary causes, ask Of
her and receive.
The whole energy of the church is taxed,
not only to support home enterprises but
foreign schemes of benevolence. History
shows that she does more of this kind of work
than any other one church in the world. And
while she is not over anxious to close the
mouths of captious, critics about her beg
sng propcnsities' yet she is anxious to do her
great work Of managing her finances as easily
and quietly as possible. Would it not be wise
then, for her members and friends to give
largely even to sacrifice in the Envelope Sys-
TEN, with the aim to dispense with most, il
not with all of the public efforts to raise money
for benevolent purposes.
Why not, by this Envelope System, put
enough money in the hands of the Steward,
of all our churches, SO that, at the end of the
wear, they could, by vote, apportlon to each
benevolent collection the amount assessed?

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.-A Contrdst,-
There can be no republic where there is faith
neither in GOd nor man. The leaders of the
French people are almost uniformly inhdes
and atheists, who recognize only single Omni-
present, omnipOtent fact, namely, universal sell
f>hncSs. On this they rely; in this they thor
oughly believe; by this they direct their action.
They believe that every man would gladly
stand upon his brother neck to reach to pow
er. They have no more faith in women than
in men, and this fact is recognized and pro-
nounced throughout the structure and machin-
cry of their social life. One of the most strk-
ing comments upon their character is their re
bellion. upon the first opportunity that presents
itself, against all the restraints, appointments,
and officers of religion. Witness the recent
imprisonment of servants of q person called
God y They violate churches, desecrate affairs,
imprison priests, invade and disperse religious
houses, and do it all in the sacred name of lib
rrty That the form Of religion which they
thus insult has had much to do In making
them what they are, there can be no question
but the fact shows that they not only have NJ
faith in the Roman Catholic representation o
Christianity, but they have no faith in any
| Christianity, and no faith in God himself
Contrast the action and feeling of these mer
with that Of the American people during the
late civil war in this country. The mOmen
the two sections found themselves engaged ii
struggle, both became intensely religious
| There were more prayers than oaths on camI
and battlefield and all over the discordan
States there was fresh interest in Christian
truth and in Christian institutions. The differ

therefor in October.

BGSWhen restored to power, the
Democracy will do justice to, and pro-

Capital will be secure, because labor
will not be oppressed. The laws will
be respected and obeyed, because they
will be just; and thieves and wrong
doors will be promptly tried and pun
ished according to law, no matter to
what party they may belong. The
taxes will be reduced, because those
that are collected will be honestly eX-
pended, and the debt will be paid ac-
cording to the letter and spirit of the
law. Trade will be encouraged by
just laws; and trade and peace being
hand-maids, prosperity and happiness
will pervade our entire land. The De-
mocracy are everywhere united andin

rance against the rotten works of the
enemy, which will be captured and the
rubbish cleared away.
