INT BAPTIST , !" 1H'cAoo'
The Baptiets early obtained a foothold in this
city, the First Church having been organized On
the 18th Of October, 1888, when Chicago con
tanned about 500 inhabitants. Rev. Allen r.
Freeman arrived here in August Of that year, as
q missionary of the Baptist Home Mission
Society, and Immediately set about gathering
the few Baptists located here into flock. =
The first meeting OF six was held on the 18th OF
October, and preliminary steps we're taken to
form Churdh. On the 18th, fifteen appeared
and entered into church relations. small
wooden house Of worship, cosing $500, Was built
On South Water street, near where the river
divides into the North and South Branches.
From this small beginning has grown the large
and influential denomination, which, according
to the last reports, embraced the following
churches and membership.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have truthfuAy answered before he
starts on his journey, and little care TAX
en- in examination of Routes will in many
cases save much trouble, time and money.
The &C., B. & Q. R. r." running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the a., B. & W. Route" running
from Indianapolis, through Bloomington
to Burlington, have achieved splendid
reputation in the last two years as the
leading Passenger Routes to the West. At
Burlington they connect with the B, & NJ.
R. r. and from the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through South
ern Iowa to Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the
Territories; and passengers starting from
Cecil County, on their way westward, cam
not do better than to take the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
This Line has published a pamphlet call
ed "How to 60 West" which contains
much valuable information; large correct
map of the Great West, which can be
obtained free of charge by addressing the

ing two arguments, one apparently short
and the other taking four days, divided
among four counsel, of whom Mr.. Trum-
bull was not the chief. Other Senators
refused to be retained in this case, because
they considered that their duty as Senators
and the statutes of the country alike for
babe them to charge the Government for
services rendered while Congress was in
session, and while they were supposed to
be drawing their salaries by attending to the
legislative business of the country.
Of the $4,000 received by Mr.. Trumbull
he received from Andrew johnson 81, 900
on March 7, 1853, and $4,000 on April 6,
1868, these two payments preceding by
mouth or SO that vote of his against the
impeachment of johnson which the Trib-
une denounced as SO suspicious. He
seems to have neither obtained nor sought
anything more these $4,000 during the
year subsequent to the time that johnson
remained in office. He doubtless thought
that $4,000 was enough pay even for a
Reformer for few hours argument
of two motions depending chiefly up
ON statute law. There were in all four
counsel, two on each side, and if all were
paid at the same rate the argument cost
parties $4,000. But in April, 1s69-after
Mr.. Stanton, who was familiar with the
matter, had gone out of office-Mr. Trum-
bull then apparently bethought himself
that here was good chance to plumber
the Treasury, and he presented further
bill of $1,000, on which he received that
further sum. This new bill is on file in
the War Department in two separate forms,
both of them entirely in the handwriting
of Mr.. Trumbull. We give copies of them
from photographs in our possession:

Too PERsoNAL.-In a little village il

Too PERsoNAL.-In a little village in
Virginia, there lived family named Ran
som. They were not pions people-rather
on the reprobate order, in fact-and they
never went to church. Once, however
during a revival. the family were prevailed
upon to attend the preaching. When they
made their reluctant and tardy appearance
the services had begun, and they had scarce
ly taken their seats when the preacher gave
out the first hymn, reading it somewhat
thus: -" Return, We ransom sinners home"
"All right cried the head of the Ran
SONS, getting up in a rage, and clapping
his hat upou his head. "Come along, old
woman an gals, we'll 60 home fast enough,
and everybody in the church knows We
dId't want to come"

We wonder if this reforming Senator is
waiting for Mr.. Greeley to come into Office
to present still another bill for the same
services. At the same rate Of progression,
the new bill ought to be about $1,000
Fortunately for the country, Mr.. Greeley
is not to be President very soon, nor Mr.
Fenton Secretary of the Treasury, SO that
Trumbull will have to return again to get
ting his money from private, if not legiti-
mate, sources.

THE VITALITY OF LIEs.-The vitality of
lies is something astounding. There is
the current fiction known as the "Connec-
ticut Blue laws These so-called laws
are purely fictitious. They were written
and published as satire on the people of
Connecticut, and were absolutely without
any other foundation than the brain of the
practical joker who drew them up. The
fact that they never were enacted, and
never were meant to be, has been proved
scores and scores of times, and yet week
seldom passes without some allusion to
them by men who either believe, or affect
to believe them genuine. No longer than
Sunday last, a Catholic clergymen of this
City preached sermon in which he quot
ed from these Blue laws to prove the intol-
erance of the early settlers of Connecticut.
Doubtless he believes them to DO part of
the Connecticut statute book. He might
better have quoted Knickerbocker's Ne,o-
York as a veracious history, since the latter
does contain little truth. while the Blue
law - are fictitious from beginning to end.

An editor who received a letter in
which weather was spelled "wethur" says
it was the worst spell Of weather he had
ever seen. The worst "spell'' we ever re-
member to have seen is in the following
letter to school-master in Indiana "Cur,
ass you are man Of no legs wish to in
tur my son in your skull" This looks
like an insult at first glance but when
translated is compliment. "Sir, as you
are a man of knowledge wish to enter my
son in your school,"

~ Flowers! beautiful flowers! who does
not love the fair and fragile things which
spring up on every side, spangling, with
their many colored blossoms, the earth,
which is Gods footstool. Everything else,
from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssep
that groweth upon the wall, is designed for
some useful purpose either to man or beast;
flowers, alone, seem given simply to afford
pleasure to man; flowers, alone, seem in
tended merely to minister to the innocent
qualification of the senses which God has
bestowed upon us. Wherever we turn our
eyes, we behold the soft green of the mea-
dow, the verdure of the hilltop, the dust
of the roadside, the dusty cags of the
mountain steep, frightened by some little
gem-like flower. 1t asks no careful hand
to train it into healthful life. The winged
seed is waited on the breeze, or borne by
the birds of the air to its destined place,
and there nursed by the sun and shower, it
grows up in solitary beauty.

LESSONS FROM BRICK.-An Austrian
sapdnt has discovered, by means of mi
croscope, in brick taken from the pyra-
mid of Dashour, many interesting particu-
lars connected with the life of the ancient
Egyptians. The brick itself is made Of
mud of the Nile, chopped straw, and sand,
thus confirming what the Bible and Herod-
otus had handed down to US as to the
Egyptian method of brick-making. Be-
sides these materials, the microscope has
brought other things to light-the debris
of river shells, of fish, and of insects, seed
of wild and cultivated flowers, corn and
barley, the field pea, and the common flax,
cultivated probably both for food and tex
tile purposes, and the radsh, with many
others known to science. There were also
manufactured products such as fragments
of tiles and pottery, and even small pieces
of string made of flax and sleeps wool.
