A Feminine Evangelist.

Mrs. Van Colt, who is now preaching
at Fond duLac, in the northern part of this
State, is the first woman regularly licensed
to preach in the NJ, E. Church. She re-
ceved the license about two years ago.
The thousands brought to Christ through
her fundamentally. would almost demon
Strate her commission to-. be divine. In
relating her experience she took for her
text: "By their fruits ye shall know
them.' She said that five years ago she
believedthat woman should keep silent
in the church; yet, as she natratesthe path
oftrial and suffering through which she
has been so strangelysled by the hand of
Providence, she seems to feel all the force
of the exclamation s'What was that |
could withstand God ?n" .
AS she, with wonderful pathos, painted
the women last at the Cross and first at the
Sepuchre, and according to Matthew, the
first to aoorship the risen Saviour and re-
ceive the commission to publish his resur
ection to His Brethren, the sea of faces an
swered with streaming eyes that likewise
to woman was given. the Pentecostal
power.
Thus God has honored this first licensed
lady preacher with thousands of souls for
her hire. And as she moves among the
people as an angel light. God is with her,
convincing of sin, and many, very many,
promise to lead new life.

ADDRESSING MACntXE.-We have been
using, for several months, the addressing
machine Invented and patented by James
McFatrich, Of Lena, Illinois, and are pre-
pared to recommend i to the craft as being
simple, cheap and durable one. No first
class country or eity printing office should
be without ore. 1t is capable of directing
two thousand papers per hour, with great
certainty and legibility. We took ourma-
chine on trial, and concluded, after using
it several weeks, tc keep it; aud now We
would not sell itfor twice the cost, if we
could not replace~it with another, Monroe
Sentinel.
I We have used one of the above machines
for over six~montbs, and cordially endorse
the above recommendation. We have seen
several newspaper addressing machines
and can unhesitatingly pronounce this the
best we ever saw. We have secured the
agency for the above machine and any
publisher in need of one can be=supplied by
US at manufacturers price

gt5@ There is considerable canvassing
already as to the successor of Judge Paine
upon the bench, but in quiet way. The
names of W. P. Lynde, Ii. S. Orion, Alva
Stewart, and several others are mentioned
in that connection, but no public action
is likely to be had for several days:
BY the untimely death Of Hon. Byron
Paine, the responsible duty rests upon
Governor Fairchild to appoint a suitable
person to take his place upon the Supreme
Bench. The duty of, appointing such an
officer is delicate one at any time, but it
is made much more important on this oc-
casion by reason of the fact that Judge
Paines term of office expired soon, and
the law required the people to elect his
successor next spring. so that the Gov
crnor's appointment, if it be judicious
one, will be acquiesccd in and he be the
candidate of the Republican party by com
mon consent.

What is known as the civil service re-
for4a-is treated of at length. This reform
in the civil service means that some other
method must be adopted for the appoint
rnent of officers in the civil service of the
government, such as postmasters, asses
sors, collectors, marshals, &C., than
through the recommendation of the repre-
sentatives in congress as this has become
a wholesale business of@barter and sale,
chicanery and trickery, that even those
who Indulge in it most, are becoming
ashamed Of the practice.
A large portion Of the people have come
to realize the great and wide spreading
evils which flow from our present civil ser
vice system, and there is general desire
among men Of every shade of political be-
lief for a radical reform therein. Such
change is desired as will remove the pat
ronage of the government from the parti-
Fan contests Of the people, as will permit
subordinate. appointments in the civil
service only for demonstrated fitness, and
make the tenure Of Office to depend upon
zeal and fidelity in the service Of the gov

share in this desire, because I recognize
in our present manner Of dispensing Fed

have grown to their present magnitude
gradually through many years. No par
ty nor class of men are responsible fol-
them, but our generation will justly be
held responsible for their continuance il
fully aware of the evilS and realizing the
danger, we do not improve our opportuni
ty to make the reform which the safety OF
the nation demands. Fully assured that
the people of this State are in accord with
these sentiments, it is recommended that

gress asking for the enactment of such
laws as Will effect the desired change.
