A REMARKABLE SPRING.-A cor
respondent sends to the Journal of
Chemistry the following account
of a remarkable spring in Texas:
about sixty miles north of Ga
lena, near the town of Liberty,
there is a spring, the water of which
is quite acid, Stimulating lemonade,
and those who taste it like it so much
that they drink it almost immoder-
ately. When You feel hot it Is
quite delicious; and under any cir
cumstances. whether hot Or cold the
drinking of it produces persplra-
ton, with no unpleasant effect after
ward. The spring has no apparent
outlet or inlet. 1t is probably sixty
feet across it. and it is covered with
a white froth OF foam, which on
close examination appears like cream
tartar on a wine cask. 1t kills in
sects, worms, and other small Il L
mails that come near and use it. No
fish or other evidence of life is seen
within its waters

A fourteen-year old girl was a wit
ness in a recent Indiana divorce suit,
and a portion of her evidence was as
follows: Father got mad because
mother starched his stockings.
Mother picked up the stockings and
hit father on the head with them.
and it sounded as though they were
sticks of wood. Father then stuck a
hot wheat cake down mother throat
and then mother set the dog on
father, and twisted the dogs tail to
make him bite harder

There was once, In a certain

like some others, were all the
time talking about the heather
at home, right under our
church spires, they said. They
never gave anything for For

On one occasion, these Infidels
had a ball. 1t happened at its
close that they had on hand a
lot of provisions. One of the
mem bers wanted 10 know what
they should do with it. So
they decided to give it to the
poor OF the town. But where
were the poor? No one could
tell. So they had to go to the
Christian women OF the place
TO find where the poor lived.
1t is generally the case, that
those who do most for heather
abroad, do most for heather a:

The Heather at Homo and
AbrOad.-Mrs. Fry'S Lecture
StirS up an Argument
Among the Brethren.
[k,rom the Portsm lulh b pubIlean. |

-
Among the Brethren.
[From the Portsm ,ulh nepubIican.l
In the last issue OF the Stand
ard, The editor devotes to "Ran.
dom Thoughts" a whole coll
umn, for the benefit OF Rev.
Mrs. Fry, of Macarthur, Ohio. -
l suppose Mrs. Fry has been
in Jackson, and lectured on
Womaus Foreign Mission, and
as is often the case with the
editor, he was not pleased With
the effort, or Mrs. Fry, or both.
So he sets himself about glv>
ing her and the church a homi-
ly on duty. | suppose, when
Mrs. Fry reads "Random
Thoughts" she will not make
another effort to benefit heath-
en- women, but will devote all
her energies to benefitting the
boys of Macarthur, especially
those that smoke tobacco and
get drunk.
The editors reasoning runs
thus: Because some children
in this Christian land are prof.
ligate, violate the Sabbath,
smoke and drink whisky, and
because women have not all
the rights he thinks they ought
to have, and because some
men are whipped and killed in
the South by the Ku Klux,
therefore no effort should be
made TO better the condition
of heathens until all these
evils are corrected. He thinks
we ought to expend all our
means, and efforts upon home
evangelization.
1t is true, there is a vast field
for operation here. "The hea'
then are at our DOORS" But
whose fault is ita These "hea-
then" are such of choice.
There are four churches in Nc
Arthur, and five in Jackson,
and all can 60 and hear the
Gospel preached, if they will.
But not so in heather lands: -
And then, too, we are to preach
the Gospel in "regions beyond"
The Jews we're not all con.
verted to Christianity when
the Macedonian cry came
"Come over and help u.s." and
Peter went and preached to
the Gentiles. And Paul said
to the Jews: "Seeing ys judge

tiles" ~ y p

A writer in the Portsmouth
Republican pretends to reply
10 my article about Mrs. Fry's
lecture. l Will have no contro-
versy with this writer, for sev-
eral reasons. One is, he is a
coward, and does not give HIS
name. Another is, he is guilty
Of ialsehood by misrepresent-
ing my article, and wnat l
claimed in the matter.
| hear it stated that the Chi
nese Government has declared
that the Christian religion shall
not hereafter be preached in
that Empire. 1t is limited that
the Christian " nations will
force their religion at the
mouth Of the cannon, and the
point of the bayonet. / Ishould
not be surprised if this be done.
That is one way Of spl reading
the gospel. Another mode Is
that advocated by Mrs. Fry.
Let seven hundred thousand
women pay one dollar each, TO
hire men and women to go to
China, and convert the four
hundred millions of people in
that Empire.
Let me say here most EN-.
phatically, that | do not find
Iault with either of these plans
But | have not particle ofcon'
fidence in either of them. My
plan is TO be Christians at
home, first, and then convert
the heathen. The people Of
this country and of California
in particular, have set the
cause of Christianity back at
least one thousand years in
China, by their treatment OF
the Chinese who came TO this
country. Only think of it
The Chinese are Taught the the.
org Of Christianity-that God
made of one blood all nations.
and that there is no respect
Of persons ao,th HIM. Yet, on
arriving in this country they
are saluted with brickbats,
clubs and revolvers, because
they are of a different national
Ity, and they find that millions
Of men, women and children,
have been used as property
bought and sold, scourged and
manned, and robbed of all their
earnings, until within the past
several years, only. because
theyiwere of adiGsrent nation.
