Upon the precise nature Of the
answers by the little children in
Sunday Schools, to questions put to
them by their teachers, it is not al
ways safe to count. At Bethany on
Sunday last, an Assistant Superenten-
dent was engaged in addressing the
children. OF spectators, a goodly
number were present. The subject
of the teacher was the promised
Land" "Yousee children" he con-
tinued, after explaining the exodus
of Moses, and the sandy character
of the desert, "you see, my dear
children, and how at last, Moses
brought them to land flowing with
milk and honey. How nice that was!
All of you like honey, particularly
on your buckwheat cakes. Just
think of it-not a land where milk
and honey comes like it does here,
but land flowing with them. just
think of it, what . nice time little
boys and girls must have had in the

Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks, the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Indiana, has not only "turned his
back Or the past" but he has for.
gotten how he voted, when United
States Senator, on the question of
granting land to railroad companies.
Among the accusations he makes
against Grants administration is the
charge that it has thrown away mil
lions of acres of the public domain in
the way of grants to the Northern
Pacific Railway Company. Senator
Morton noticed the matter in his
speech at New Albany, Tuesday last
as follows:
SIN a speech in indianapolis on the
goth of July, Mr.. Hendricks said, in
talking about granting public lands
for the purpose of constructing rail
roads, that General Grant, on the
day he signed bill granting n ,OO0,-
900 acres of land, an area larger than
the State of Indiaea, to the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, illustra-
ted his economy and zeal in the pub
lie interest by vetoing bill to pay
for two horses an Indiana cavalry
man had lost in the war. Now, it
turned out upon investigation after
the bill had passed, that the man had
been paid for his horses-a fact not
known to Congress at the time it
passed. The statement that a bill
granting 100000 acres of the pub.
I'D lands to the Northern Pacific
Railroad is true, as stated by Mr..
Hendricks with the following slight
exceptions: The first exception is
that the bill was passed in 1864, and
was approved by President Lincoln
on the second day of July. At that
time General Grant was in the field,
and had nothing to do with building
railroads, except those he built q to
pursue the rebel army. Another ex-
ception in the accuracy of the state
ment is the fact that Mr.. Hendricks
was at that time in the United States
Senate, and was on the committee
that reported the Northern Pacific
Railroad bill, and made a speech in
favor of the bill and then voted in
favor of its passage" Applause.
The course of Hendricks in this
campaign has been characterized by
a reckless disregard of truth which
do much to change the opinion here
tofore entertained concerning 4bisr
character. He finds himself leading
a forlorn hope to disgraceful defeat,
and in every speech he makes he
evinces a spirit of malice and vindict-
iveness which is entirely at variance
with his previous characteristic fair
ness ald courtesy.

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP

By j. VS..
Hark from the graves Of patriots slain
A warning voice for you,
"Be on your guard I; there's work again
Be diligent and true I"
Our bones bleached on the battle field,
For Freedoms cause we died
And would you now to traitors yield.
For you tits to decide.
Ere death had closed our weary eyes
We saw the "Ship of State"
Majestic on the wave arise,
Free from disastrous fate
Shall 1t be said we died in vain
Saved with such price on battle plain.
Would you now traitors CROWN
Look to your spars, therigging scan,
Stand steadfast by the helm,
Out with your guns, to work each man,
Your foes now overwhelm
And let your watchword ever be,
Our country now and ever!"
And, always battling for the right,
Naught can your Union sever.

This Stove has no com pllcated arrangements,

neglect of which interferes with the perfect
working of the Stove but is so simple that any
one may use it successfully. 1t is made from
