Finding Fault with Minister'S.

There are many persons whose relig'
ion consists in finding fault with min
listers. Nor are they all of the world.
Some church-members think this one of
the privileges Of their profession. And
as Satan desired to sift Simon as wheat
so they sift the character and life of their
minister. Every word he speaks and
every act he performs, in private AMI
in public, at homo and abroad, must be
weighed in their balance, and If he is
found wanting, they must post up the
Church and the world ia reference to
his defects and inhrmities. This part
of religion must be attended to by some
one. "All members have not the same
office" And as they have peculiar
taste, If not talent, for finding fault, and
no relish for anything more spiritual,
they are faithful in pointing out his
real and imaginary defects. And thus
they save him from that woe which
Christ said rested on ministers when al |
men spoke we'll of them. Exchange.

The Plan Of the Communists TO Destroy
Da,ss


Paris shall not exist II Pari, does not
belong to tho Commune. Such was
their hellish resolve, and they proceed.
ed to carry out their threat of destroy
ing the capital which they could not re.
tain. They set to work in three dis.
tinct ways. In the palaces and public
Offices which they commanded they
disposed, at regular intervals, some.
times bottles, sometimes pots of petrolo.
um. When the vessels of petroleum
were arranged at proper distances, one
OF them would be over turned and ig.
nited the flames would rapidly spread
and the whole building would soon be
past salvation. 1t was in this that the
Tuileries, the Palais Royal, the Hotel
de Vile, the Palace of the Legion of
Honor, and other celebrated public
edifices wore set in flames.
Thisarrangement was all made in the
ministry Of marine, but the wretches
engaged in the work of destruction had
to fly before they could set fire to the
pots of petroleum, which they had
planted in the most likely corridors
There was a second method adopted for
the destruction of private houses.
When 1T became necessary to retire
from particular barricade, the guards
tore to pieces the bed which formed
part of the barricade; took the tow out
of the beds, dipped it in petroleum and
loaded their guns with 1t. Then they
fired the tow into the windows of the
houses. 1t was in this way that the
block of houses in the Rue Royale, fac
ing the Madelrine, was set on fire.
Still third method: men and wo.
men were going about Paris with bot
ties of petroleum in their pockets, or
hid about their dresses. They threw
these bottles down into the ground
floors of every dwelling they could get
at. If there was no room for the bottle
to get through, the neck of the bottle
could get into certain air holes which
belong to the construction of French
houses; the liquid would be poured in,
and lighted match would be sent in
after it. In this way very many priv.
ate houses were set in flames; and
many hundreds of women were taken
in the act all day-some of them shot
upon the spot.

Address Of the State Committee.
THE ISSUES BEFORE THE COUNTRY.
TO THE PEOPLE or PEyysyLylyI.

The executive committee of the de-
mocracy of this State, to whom the fol.
lowing address was referred by the re.
cent State convention, now present the
same to you as embodying some of the
reasons which actuate and control the
organization they represent:
We hero solemnly renew our often
repeated declaration of fidelity to the
great principles upon which our party
has acted from tho time of its first or.
ganlzation. Our ultimate objects are
those of our fathers when they adopted
the federal constitution, viz: "To form
more perfect union, to establish jus.
tice, to insure domestic tranquility, to
promote the general welfare, to provide
for the common defense, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity." We sincerely believe that
the government of the United States,
administered as it was in former days,
with direct view to the advancement
of these principles, would do for us and
for our children all that any people can
reasonably desire from the political
system under which they live. We are
equally sure that if not carried out in
the spirit of those by whom it was
framed it must become a curse instead
of blessing. Situated as we are, obed.
ience TO the fundamental law means
not only the honest performance of
sworn obligations, but freedom, peace
and prosperity to all classes of the peo.
pie. On the other hand, the usurpation
of intcrdicted or undelegated power is
not only crime in itself, but the fruit
ful parent of other crimes, and will
lead, as it has already led, to indefinite
misgovernment, corruption and tyran-
ny, subverting all liberty, and render
ing the rights of all men insecure.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-07-07

When we speak of the federal consti.
tuition, we mean the whole instrument,
with all its amendments, and acknowl-
edge the equal obligation of every part.
Several Of those amendments were car
ried by brute force and by frauds upon
the public will so glaring as to take
from their authors all claim upon our
respect. But we cannot deny that they
have actually become q part of the con-
stitution; nor can we avoid that fact,
or get behind it, by showing the cor
rupt miscon duct of the men who at that
time controlled Congress and mastered
the State legislatures. Whosoever
swears to support the constitution must
perform all that is nominated in the
bond" Any change which experience
and reason shall prove to be desirable
must be made in the prescribed way,
and not by revolutionary or disorderly
means,

The Kansas City Bulletin has a long
account of stirring adventure at Pot
tawatomie, Kansas, in which the prin-
ciple actors were the monster circus ele-
phant, old Emperor" and tribe of
Indians. The circus had been exhibit
ing in town, and the elephant taken
for bath to the river, near the Indian
village. The Indians greatly admired
the proportions and docility OF the eIe-
phant, and that nisbk ,khtre Of the
"braves" stole the anflnst lk3etl 1t to
their village for sti4g SUefraow
A terrific noise awoke't Ne sAesss Vpople.
Upon emerging from ttc hoys tft}Sas at

being in the Indian portibR '6f the towlnY
they hurriedly made their way thither,
and upon suddenly turning corner
they beheld sight they will never for
get. In the foreground was the huge
form of old Emperor upon whose back
was perched half dozen warriors,
shouting and gesticulating wildly to
their breth rem below, while at intervals
IL horrid yell would ring out upon the
se.I,k II; f,IIAxxrn1 hxy hupn splIIYpn
of smoke and dust, and then could be
heard the shrill trumpeting of the ele-
phant as uttered when enraged by pain.
On every side lay the ruins of the once
peaceful homes of the Indians. AS tho
showmen were preparing to rescue EN-
peror, crash went his huge trunk, and
an entire wigwani was seen flying
through the air, while from the clouds
of dust and heaps of rubbish could bo
seen the naked forms of squaws and
pspooses regaining consciousness and
darting off through the woods with
frightful yells of terror. The scene was
awful the demoniac yells of the sava-
ges, the infuriated trumpeting of the
elephant, was enough to strike terror to
the heart of the stoutest. The company
headed by Mr.. Robinson, rushed up,
scattered the Indians from Emperor's
back and led him away. He manifest
ed delight at finding himself again
among friends, by repeatedly caressing
his keeper with his trunk. His body
was found to be coyered with wounds,
from which blood flowed in streams;
over 100 arrows were sticking in his
body; the first proceeding was to ex-
tract the arrows, and then staunch the
flow of blood, which being done, he
was enabled with great difficulty, to get
back to camp. Amid the confusion i.
was impossible to ascertain how he be-
came loosened from his place of confinc-
ment, but upon examining the chain it
was found to be regularly unlocked,
showing the.agency of some mischief
maker; and upon strict inquiry, it was
ascertained that party Of young war
riors, noticing how gentle and harmless
the elephant was, concluded to have II
menagerie procession of their own and
while some unlocked the chains, five or
six leaped on his back and two more
walked on each side and steered him
along, and thus the cavalcadc started

CHOOSE WIsELY.-lt is bitter lesson
to learn that friends prove false, but all
who are called so are not friends, for
people mistake and wrong themselves
by placing confidence where it doesnot
belong.
A true friend cannot be made in day,
nor is the opportunity ofdaily occurrence
that person worthy of ones full con-
fidence and friendship may be found.
In this world there are no emotions
higher than those of friendship, except
ing mothers love.
There is a passion which abounds and
deceves many, gliding from flower to
flower, hand in hand with selfishnCss
and this is called love.
1t sweeps through the heart bruising
and wounding, unless smoothed and
strengthened by faithful friendship.
For it is an unsafe ship which goes out
to brave the storms of an angry sea
rugged and freighted with love alone.
lntimacies formed upon short ac
quaintances with imagination investing
people with qualities they do not pos
ses, cause the revealment of deceptions
and misplaced confidence which bring
tears, heartaches and morbid philosophy
upon the vanity ofbelievlng in anything
or anybody.
Thus multitudes go stumbling along
grumbling because their jewels are lost
or trampled upon, when they scatter
them indiscriminately among tn,
crowd.-E2m Oriu.

PLANT SMALL FRUIT TREES. The Horti-
cultural Society of Wisconsin recommends
the planting of young trees for orchards. Its
Report says l. Tn cost much less. 2.
The freight is light B. You can have the
head formed to suit your taste and style.
4. The trees, freight and all, will not be
half as much as the freight on larger trees,
and the smaller ones are more sure to grow,
and in short time they will outstrip the
large ones. 1t should ever be remembered
that small trees of good varieties are worth
much more than large trees of poorer varie-
ties.
DoNT keep in constant fret about things
that may be annoying, or worry about
things you can't help. Troubles are not
lightened by fretting. The true remedy is
to keep cool and try to master difficulties,
and not let them master you.
