An additional proof of our theory that the
DeUil as loose, is found in the statement that
the ladies of Chicago, in solemn copclave as
sembled, have resolved that mans headship
''in the State, the church and the home is an
exploded idea of the dead past, opposed to a
republican government and Protestant reli-
gion."
Now the first impulse Of the Devil on get
ting loose, is to enter into the women-ingress
is to get into men, thence into swine and final
~ into the sea. Hogs and ourselves may there
fore look out The sea can bide its time. But
men and hogs have the consolation of behev-
ing, from the persistence with which the Devil
sticks to women in modern times, that he in
tends to stay in them till they turn into men
and hogs Ia that event we and the hogs may
get off scot free.-Rich. Enquirer.

o. THE EVILS OF LYNCH Law Too Reputa-
table Citizens Hang Horsetlta5 and retheua-
selces Hanged. The Stockton Mos) Journal
of April 9th contains the following narrative:
r9rOn the night of the 2Oth Of March two
horses were stolen from a man named French,
and one from Colonel Joe Allen, on Cedar
creek, in this county. Suspicion fastened up
on one johnson, alias Brooks, man of bad
character, who had been lurking in the neigh
borhood for some time past, but was ascer.
tanned to be missing at the same time with the
horses. His trail was followed by VIM A
chard and one Bays, who are reported to have
overtaken him near Chetopa, Kansas, recap
tured the stock, and hung the thief But a
short time afterward they were themselves
overtaken, about five miles southwest of Bax-
ter Springs, and hung by mob of about TWEEN
ty men, supposed to have been friends of the
thief, and the stock again recaptured. Both
Achard and Bays were highly respected citi-
zens Of this county, and their sad fate has Gre
ated great deal of excitement and indigna-
ton among their neighbors, many of whom
are determined upon revenge. and we tear that
several parties will fad themselves In un-
healthy situations before long, in consequence
of the same transaction. There seems to have
been an unusual amount of horse-stealing 60
ing on lately, and there is danger that the
summary vengeance of Judge Lynch will be
invoked to put a stop TO it. That is bad and
dangerous, but apparently the only remedy.

No European people in this age are going to
submit to dynasty of adventures. Neither
are they going to submit to their old dynasties.
Kings belong to the past. The whole situation
has changed. 1t is impossible to have settled
monarchy now. Before we can restore the en-
vironment necessary for that we must abolish
modern civilization. We must go back to
semi-weekly mails, and stage-coaches, and a.
bolish the Press, and the circulation of opin-
ions. The mass of the people now think too
much, and talk too much, TO retain that mys-
ferrous reverence which must hedge in king.
Great Britain is q case in point. The mon
archy there is rapidly dissolving Thought
disseminated thought-and monarchical gov
eminent are irrecorcilable.
The alternative is Freedom. But France
nor Spain, nor Italy are prepared for Freedom.
What then?
We doubt very much whether any country
is prepared for it. We doubt whether the
United States is not going to pieces. What
then?
The only preparation for Freedom is in the
moral and religious tone of the people. A pro-
found spiritual faith is the desideratum of the
age-and if Christendom does not get it, it
will go to the Devil.-Rich Enquirer. sla
