When Zerlina had removed

He looked around, evidently

A Few Quiet Words.

Will there find an enormous
advertisement of Rates of
Taxation, paid for by the coun-
ty. He will also find a still
larger advertisement paid for
by the county-the Auditors
Report. In addition to these
he will find a large Election
PROCLAMATION paid for by the
county. Then he will find
Probate Notices, School No
tiCes and Legal Notices almost
without number. This adver.
tlslng is all controlled by Dem
ocrats and they pour every
dollar Of it in to sustain their
paper.
"1n addition to that it will
be noticed that every Demo
crat who is in business in Lo-
gan advertises li6erally in the
Sentinel.
"That single number of the
Sentinel shows probably 81 900
of advertising given to that
paper simply because of Its

The Story of Ten Men Who
Agreed To Meet At The End
of Ten Years.

ASEecu lO uhcCU tAU 1HO LhAu
of Ten Years.
In 1862 ten young gentle
men of congenial tastes. and
tempers boarded at fashiona-
be boarding house in New
York. They divided up in par
ties of twos and threes AMI
fours, and attended theaters,
lectures, and other places OF
interest in the evenings, and
when they returned they made
it a point to meet IN the parlOr
and talk over the busin ess,
pleasures and adventures oi
the day before they retired to
their rooms. Their close friend
ship, and this method OF each
communicating his experience
for the benefit uf al, proved
both Instructive and entertain
ing, and these daily reunions
had local attractions enough 10
draw them all together at a
regular hour in the evening.
This mode Of life continued for
some years. At length the
time came tor them to seperate.
They had a farewell dinner in
their boarding house Oh the
10th oil September, 1862, and
grand time feastlng and talk
ing and singing songs.
One remarkable feature of
this celebration was that, be-
fore they separated at two
o'clock IN the morning, each
arose in his place and made a
solem VOW that, If living, he
would meet the rest of his
companions at eight o'clock in
the same place, and dine with
them ten years hence, as they
had dined that night. Each
one was to occupy the same
seat, aud as nearly as posi-
Bile, they were to have the
same kind of a dinner. So
they bade each other good
night and separated. In the
course of years the house
changed hands, and set up the
more pretentious claims of a
hotel. The dining room remain
ed, however just as it was, and
probably the old table and
chairs were still on duty.
Some days ago, Mr.. Edward
X. Winship, broker, No. "a
Bond street, called on the pro-
prietor of the hotel and re
quested him to prepare dinner
for ten gentlemen in the old
dining-rcom on the evening of
September 10th. Mr.. Winship
briefly narrated the clrcum-
stances of the compact to ex-
plain the request, and that, be.
ing the eldest Of the party OF
ten, he had been appointed on
the evening of their dining in
1862 as chairman. At precise
ly eight o'clock on the evening
of September 10th, Mr.. Win
ship entered the dining room.
and the doors were quickly
closed behind. No, one else
came. The table was bounte-

were there, and nine empty
chairs and inverted plates and

meal was begun. and the soil

New Application of q Cam
paign Story. ~.

New Application of a Cam
paign Story.
During the campaign Just
closed, one OF the Democratic
voters was wont to use a story
about an Irishman's confession,
to which an application has
been attached, since the cleo
ton, which is quite foreign to
the Democratic story teller.
The story is that an Irish
man, in making his confession,
told the priest with great frank
ness all his shortcomings, such
as beating his wife, failing to
say his prayers, and the like.
The list ofsins grew so lone
that the priest al length asked
for something on the other
side, some good deed he had
done. Pat replied that he had
performed one good act, he had
converted a Mohammedan.
The priest became interested,
and asked. how the thing was
done, "Well," said Pat, "we
were on board ship, when a
storm arose, and a big wave
carried US both into the sea.
We succeeded in getting hold
of a plank, when another wave
washed the Mohammedan off.
l caught him by the hair of the
head and drew HIM above wa
ter, and asked him if he would
now be converted to the true
faith. He was hard OF heart,
and said no. so l chucked him
under, held him there awhile,
and brought him up again l
repeated my question and he
repeated his answer, so / again
soused him under. But the
third time l brought him up
his heart softened, and he said
he was ready to believe and
did believe in the true religion.
| straightway sent him under,
and held him there, believing
it to be my duty to see that he
died in the faith"
The application now made is
that the Democratic party,
having repeatedly refused to
accept the true political doc
trine, but having finally, in the
recent campaign, consented to
accept the constitutional
am endments and other results
of the late war, the people
were justifable, on Tuesday
last, in seeing to it that the
converted party died in the
faith.

Theological.

The Presbyterians are endeaVoring TO
secure the location Of one of their TheO-
logical Seminaries at Nashville, The move
ment is one deserving Of encouragement
BY all Protestant denominations, for the
Presbyterian Theological Seminaries are
not only institutions occupying a foremost
position among the colleges of the land,
but they are conducted on broad and liberal
Christian principles. They announce in
their prospectus that "any member of any
other evangelical denomination of Chris
tians, who is seeking the ministry in his
own church, will be admitted without
charge to all the privileges of this Seminary,
on presenting sufficient testimonials from his
own church of membership and Christian
character, and complying with the regUIla-
tons of the Seminary" l. is needless to
argue the material advantages which the
location Of such an institution in our midst
would bring to us. Whatever adds to our
population increases the trade of our mer-
chants and promotes the general prosperity.
The advantages it would confer onthe ty,
are solid and well worth determined effort
Oh the part of our citizens 10 secure them.
