COMMON SENSE.

There are in our midst great
many politicians who have various
panaceas to alleviate the condition
of poor Louisiana, but in our opinion
the greatest need of the day-the true
remedy for all our evils-consists in q
display of practical common sense.
Political clements of diverse views
cannot be blended together except
upon profitable, fruitful basis. Stump
orators may plead by the hour, but
they can not in the name of reality
persuade the voters to accept non
entity. When you promise bread and
give II stone, objection will be made.
We therefore tell the Liberal party
of this and other parishes, that if they
desire q real or an earnest reconcile
alton of the people, or the success of
the party through fair and honorable
means, they must not attempt to
place before educated Or illitcratc vo-
tiers tickets representing only one
class of the people. It is not liberal
according to the Cincinnati; platform !;
tits notin good faith bearing out oft re-
peated promises; it is not in accord
ance with common sense, for what is
more absurd than to ask minority
assured of success to cut loose from
it'll organization, and to ally with a
minority which gives them only an
opportunity to vote for candidates,
but no candidates of their views or
choice?

1t seems to be the widespread opin-
ion among the Liberal leaders that
the Northern elections of this month
are not a safe criterion of the Presi-
Dental contest. Local issues are found
in every State independent of nation
al ones. The friends Of Greeley must
not be discouraged, but east a full
vote.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-10-12

The Liberals should give the colorcd
man an exhibition of their good faith
by plscing oaeaor mors.eenpstent asens
of color on every parish ticket. 1t is
folly to ask them to give their influ-
encc, votes and all the Offices That
would be making sacrifices with a
vengeance.

/. THE SYANLEY-LIvINGsT ExPE-
D1TION.-We notice in press of the
Union Publishing Company, of Chica-
60, volume to he sold by subscription,
which will, without doubt, give the
real facts of tho New York Herald ex-
petition to Africa in search Of DR..
Livingstone, under the command Of
Henry NJ. Stanley. This volume will
produce as great a sensation as Dr..
Livingstone's first volume, or the first
news in the Herald of tie finding of
DR.. Livingstone. We see it is intended
to give an account of the Ancient Civ
ilization and Modern Situation of AT
RIGA, its many distinguished explorers,
including their accounts of Lion, Ele-
plant and Zebra Hunting. Those who
have read DR.. Livingstone's work on
the Explorations of Africa will, un-
doubtcdly, be eager to see this. Many
remember G ordon Cummings wonder
full tales of Hunting in South Africa.
We should judge from the advance
sheets that this book would equal, if
not excel, any thing previously writ
ten OIL this subject. At least every
thing from this most interesting part
of the globe will, be read with interest.
Books on these subjects are good,
wholesome, instructive reading.
Would that there were many more
printed OIL the comparatively unknown
parts Of the world.

Father Gavazzi.

Father Gavazzi visited ST. Louis according to
appointment. He preached last Sunday to crowd
ed congregations-in the morning at the First
Methodist church from Romans Ill: IS" There
fore we conclude, that man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law" In the evening at
the Second Presbyterian church from James IL
90" as the body without the spirit is dead, SO
faith without works is dead ALSO" He addressed
large audiences on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings
Rev. DR.. j. B. Thompson, who is associated
with Father Gavazz in his mission to this country,
also preached twice. From one OF his sermons we
extract the following brief, but interesting account
of the Free Christian Church of Italy:
"About two years ago the church of Milan sent
q call to the other churches, asking them to come
together and form some sort OF a union. They
came together and adopted confession OF faith,
which includes simply the principles OF our com
mon Christianity simply those statements which
are held in common BY all Evangelical Christians.
They named it the Free Church of Italy, agreeing
to hold all different views in su0ordnaton, and all
looking to Christ as their SAVIOUR and the Holy
| Ghost at their sanctlfer 1hlrty-nVe OF THESE
congregations united together IN June, 1869, and
adonted rules for the government and organization
of the church, leaving the different congregations
as nearly independent as possible Under this
form Of government they are getting on and doing
most blessed work. They have no church or Sun.
day School rooms but they meet in halls and hired
apartments, where they hear the gospel preached,
where aes s6rss5 SRt
mere. IN tb ro9s ara filed with the Children Of
these native Italians. There is no limit to the
amount of evangelical work which can be done in
Italy to-day. There has been great increase in
the progress of the work since the commencement
one and all, Waldenses, English, Wesleyans Bap-
lists, Methodists, working tremendously together
and doing the most excellent service for the gospe
of Christ. There is somewhere from four to ter
thousand Christian communicates in full regular
standing and familiar with the true evangelical
Christianity, in Italy to day. The progress is mos
markedly evinced in Rome. Five years ago mar
could not enter the Papal territory with Protes
tant Bible; if he was an American or an English
man, it was taken from him at the Custom-house.'

Severed by Wharf.-The recent war between
France and Germany caused an alienation and dis
ruption between the French and German branches
of the Evangelical Alliance. Late foreign jour
nails give an account of correspondence these
branches have had on the subject, The letter from
the Germans, while inviting restoration of good
relations, is not entirely free from irritating and
offensive expressions. These are commented upon
by the French brethren, and their import is per-
haps exaggerated, as might be expected under the
sensitiveness experienced in defeat. While their
answer does not encourage the hope Of reconcil-
atiOn at present there is reason to expect it will
take place at no distant day, for the estrangement
seems to be more the result of feeling than of
principle. We do not discover that ecclesiastical
bodies in Germany have denounced or tried to per-
secute French Christians. Had they been covered
with denunciation and falsely accused of the most
grievous heresies and crimes, as Southern Presby-
teriaus were by the Northern, the case would have
been entirely different Had the German branch
of the Evangelical Alliance approached the French,
under such circumstances, with these charges un-
retracted. and not a word of regret expressed as
to proposed conference, it would be
seen at once that the difficulty was far greater than
one of mere feeling. When a deep gulf of prin-
cipe. of honor and justice lies between true man
and his false accusers, they must of necessity be
separate. That is our case; we do not understand
it to be so with the French. 1t is the difference
between being separated by principle and se.s- ~
by feeling; and the difference is wide and deep.

week, or one in two weeks, and must ride through
the country from church to church of the various
congregations that compose their charge. This
mode of labor is self relaxing; it possesses a con-
siderable amount of variety in itself. Indeed it
is often said, and with much truth, that charge,
consisting of but two congregations, in which the
mental and the physical labor, as it were balance
each other is the pleasantest.
Again some ministers take their vacation piece
meal throughout the year. They visit their kin
dred and friends 6ettoeen Sundays, two, three, or
four times year; once in a while they may stay
over Sunday. Such hardly feel the necessity Of
special vacation of four or FIVE weeks together
during the Summer.
But there are other ministers not situated in the
same way. They have but one congregation to
serve They preach to the same people twice
every Lords Day, and lecture once in the week
This is constant mental strain. Perhaps their
home.folks live several hundred miles away per-
haps they have no home folks at all to visit. To
them a vacation of month or So spent at the old
house at home, or at some quiet watering is
perfect God-send; it is even necessity, to keep
up the human mind and body in the midst of their
wear and tear.
Recreation of some kind is needed if it be not
in one way, let it be in another All work and no
play, makes j lack dull boy. After playing awhile
Jack will work with more efficiency and heart.

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The Free Church of Scotland has now occupied
CoDstantinople as mission station to the Jews
for twentyseven years, and next to Pesth, it is the
most important Of the fields in which it has labored
for the lost of Israel The large number of con-
versions, and the high character Of the converts,
within the last three years. has been
very marked. There has been work OF the Spirit
with power, and an evident blessing on the mis-
sion. The Rev. Mr.. Tomory has lately met with
even unexpected success in the promptitude with
which his appeals in Scotland were responded to,
for fund of twenty thousand dollars to enlarge
the mission premises. He has every encourage.
ment for believing that further sum of ten thous-
and dollars will be readily supplied for placing this
mission fully in position to meet the demands of
the work. The extensive suburb Hasskeuy is al.
most wholly populated by Spanish Jews.
The Pope Complains in a speech made on June
18th, of the schism that divides the Church in
Jonstantinople and says:
II do not wonder that the Turk should protect
! schism; but what does cause me surprise is the
