In reference to the disturbances and
alleged conspiracy in this County in the
spring OF 1871, to which tho attention
of the jury was especially directed by
the court, they would report that after

Opposition to the Sunday Liquor
Law.
CH1cAeo, October 28.

CHICAGO, October %.
The Sunday liquor law was not SO
well observed yesterday as on last
Sunday, majority of the beer saloons
in all parts of the city being open, and
in the North Division nearly all were
open all day. On Saturday commits
sion appointed by the mass meeting of
Germans held the night before in op-
position to the enforcement Of the law,
called on Mayor Medill and presented
the resolutions passed by the meeting,
requesting the Mayor to suspend the
enforcement of the ordinance until a
new City Council is elected.
The Mayor, in reply to the Commit
tee, said that he had no discretion in
the matter of enforcing the law; that
so long as this ordinance was unre-
pealed his duty was plain, and without
expressing opinion as to its propriety,
he could not swerve from the course he
had laid out for himselfi in this matter.
He did not propose to enforce the law
harshly by the arrest of offenders, but
would have them before the courts up
on summons, and leave the matter
there.
The Mayor also replied to the ad-
dress of the temperance men, insist
ing that he should enforse the ordi-
nance by the arreste of the guilty par
ties and forcible closing of their plae-
es, He informed the committee that
he should continue to act in accord
ance with his understanding of the law
and his convictions of official duty,
and respectfully decline to be instruct
ed or commanded by unofficial indi.
lviduals in relation thereto.

Beauty and Religion.

Beauty is not accidental and lawless,
on the contrary, we believe it oheys an
infallible law Always, in its present
form, it is religious; and the varying
estimates of different tastes are gradu
ated according to the purity of the
religious conceptions involved. In
the last analysis beauty is one truth,
and both are written in cipher which
the religious sense alone can interpret
and resolve The significance of
things is definite; but it is revealed to
US according to a sliding scale, of
which religious culture measures the
degrees. 1t is indeed our light thrown
upon nature which interrupts beauty
but, if that light be religious, finer
elements will become apparent, and
beauty become more clear. It is SYM
pathy with the outward world that un-
locks its treasures; that sympathy is
born of religion, and is strengthened
and deepened by every accession of
spiritual life. To the mind of God,
undoubtedly, every fact in the materi-
al world has a fixed signature, pre-
else and defnate value The universe
is his art, and struggles to express { g
crystalized and imprisoned thoughts
which he has written there. A deli
cate correspondence connects every
beast and bird and tree and flower
with some type of thought. or pas
sion, or emotion present in the. Crea-
tors mind at their formation, and Of
which they are organized exponents.-
But we rise toward, and appreciate so
~Nf IN, 1oF 70 ~ kf,,o
ty of our inner life can gauge. Like
ness to the divine nature only viii ad
NIT US to the secrets of the divine
mind. All the changing degrees of
significance, which the objective word
assumes, from that feeling of health
and buyoncy and animal enjoyment
which the lowest minds experience in
clear and bracing morning, to the
unfathomable inspiration of the poet
and the artist, are determined by its
presence and its purity. The truth Of
this position cannot be shakes by any
seeming contradiction of exl ience
or history. Raphael may paint finer
pictures than Claiming, by assiduous
culture could even initiate but the fin
er sympathy with nature, the purer de-
liSu6 III nSf com paulOllSIAikls anu OSCp-
er suggestions from her inexhaustible
stores OF truths viii visit the soul of
him who had drunk deeper OF the elc-
ments of moral life. There are few
of us who cannot verify this by our
experience. Not while our souls re-
main stepped in sensuality, or fetteTed
by dull and sordid cares, will come
the revelation that are hidden in the
universe. The lilies of the field have
no meaning in the cold eye of ayerice,
put in the warm spirit of Jesus they
reflect the doctrine of universal prOYI-
dence. And so with u.s. it is in mo-
ments of calmer meditations, in sea-
sons Of quiet prayer, or after a noble
deed that awakened energies of our
inner life spontaneously interpret the
oraeles of nature. And thus where we
least expected it We find that love ex-
lists. Beauty is always relative to our
state of mind, but it has also an obiec-
tive existance that reveals itself accor-
ding to our piety and virtue.-E Starr

The Local Papers.

All intelligent persons admit the i'm
portanee of good local paper. Such
journal is worth from fifty to hun
dred dollars to every commercial man
in the town in which it is published, evel
if he never puts an advertisement in
it. If he is y judicious advertiser, it
is worth still more TO him. 1t is To-
cal paper that does more than any one
interested in building up a town. II
a good one every citizen is indebted
to it. But local paper must be sup
ported either at home or from abroad
by liberal advertising patronage. -
The subscriptions are not usually suf-
ficient to support paper further than
to make it good advertising medium.
If the merchants do not support it,
it must draw its support from abroad,
The more patronage it is forced to get
abroad from enterprising advertisers,
the more business is drawn from the
community in which it is published
The hest thing they can do is to sus-
tain their local papers, not force it to
seek advertisements from foreign mer-
chants who seek trade at the eXpence
of local merchants.
Merchants and business men ought
to be sagacious enough to see these
points and act accordingly. Sustain
the local paper, literally, but judicious-
ly, and not force it TO seek patronage
from abroad. The more foreign ad-
vertisements appear in the local paper
the more trade of such towns will be
attracted to the enterprising business
houses there. Business men too often
fail to see their own interests in their
disposition to be "penny wise and
pound foolish. Highland Mail,

And all her mothers love rushing
to her heart, she hurried out to meet

love him still, despite poor little in
noeent Marion. Then, when the
table had been set ia the next room
by Mary's deft fingers, and she had
returned to her "west garrett" Mrs.
Clements opened her heart.
''There's no use talkin', George,

knew you had such handsome dress,

George came through the door and
glanced carelessly at the corner where
the young woman stood, then with a
cry, sprang with outstretched arms,
to meet the little figure that sprang
into them. .

stood in speechless amazement. Then
Marion, all bushes and fearful
smiles, went over to the old pair and
took their hands.

Alexander H. Stephens on Gen.
4.. Grant.

In the second volume of his "His-
tory of the Rebellion Alexander Fl.
Stephens, who as to intelligence and
keen discrimination has no superior in
the Southern States, gives his impress
sions of Gen. Grant as made upon his
first and only interview with him
They are as follows.
Il was never so much disappointed
in my life in my previously formed
opinions of either the personal ap-
pearance or bearings of any one about
whom had read and heard so much
The disappointment, moreover, was in
every respect favorable and agreeable
l was instantly struck with the great
simplicity and perfect naturalncss of
his manners, and the entire absence of
everything like affectation, show, or
even the usual military air or mien OF
men in his position. He was plainly
attired, sitting in log cabin, busily
writing on a small table, by kerosene
lamp. 1t was night when we arrived.
There was nothing in his appearance
or surroundings which indicated his
official rank. There were neither
guards nor aids about him. Upon Col
Babcock's rapping at his door, the re-
sponse, Come in was given by him
self, in a tone of voice and with ca
dence which never can forget. His
conversation was easy and fluent with
out the least effort or restraint. In
this nothing was so closely watched
by me as the point and tersenese with
which he expressed whatever he said.
He did not seem either to court OF
avoid conversation; but, whenever he
did speak, what he said was directly
to the point and covered the whole
matter in a few words. 1 saw, before
being wit b him long, that he was ex-
ceedingly quick of PERCEPTION and direct
purpose, with vast deal more brains
than tongue, as readily as that was st
his command. The more
became acquainted with him, the more
| became thorougly impressed with
the very extraordinary combination of
rare elements of character which he
exhibited. 4 Upon the whole,
the result OF this first acquaintance
with Gen. Grant, beginning with our
going to and ending with our return
from Hampton Roads, was the con-
viction in my mind that, taken all in
all, he was one Of the most remarka-
BILE men had ever met with, and that
his career in life, if his days should be
prolonged. was hardly entered upon.
II x That was the opinion of
him then formed, and it is the same
which has been uniformly expressed
by me ever since"

Death of DR.. Cartwright.

Almost all our readers know some
thing of the Rev. DR.. Cartwright, who
died few days since, at his home In
Illinois. He was noble specimen Of
humanity. In his best days, he 1tin-
Grated considerably, and sometimes he
had to use muscular power to make the
enemies of the Christian religion treat
him with civility.
There is reminiscence of visit
General Jackson once made to a Meth
odist church in Nashville, and his
reception by the venerable and IA
nous Peter Cartwright. The incident
is related in Peters autobiography,
and is as followss
Monday evening came the church
was filed to oveTfowing. Every seat
was crowded, and many had to stand.
After singing and prayer, Brother
Mack, the preacher in charge) took
his seat in the pulpit. / then read my
text: 'What shall it profit man if
he gain the whole world and lose his
OWL. soul2'' After reading my text
paused. At that moment saw Gen.
jackson walking up the aisle. He
came to the middle post, and very
gracefully leaned against it, and stood,
as there were no vacant seats. just
then felt some one pull my coat tail
in the stand, and turning my head,
my fastidious preacher, brother
Mack, } whispering little loud, said !:
General jackson has come in!' felt
a flash of indignation run all over me
like an electric shock, and, facing
about to my congregation, and pur-
posely speaking out audibly, l said
Who is General jackson If he don't
get his soul converted, God would
damn him as quick as he would
Guinea negro"
q The preacher tucked his head
down, and squatted low, and would
no doubt have been thankful for 9
leave of absence. The congregation,
General Jackson, and all, smiled or
laughed right out, all at the preachers
expense. When the congregation
was dismissed, my city stationed
preacher stepped up to me, and very
sternly said to me: You are the.
strangest man I ever saw and Cen
eral Jackson will chastise you for
your insolence before you leave the
city," VERY clear of it, said /, "for
General Jackson, have no doubt,wi
applaud my course; and, if he should
undertake to chastise me, there are
two that can play at that game"
General jackson was staying at
one of the Nashville hotels. Next
morning very early, Brother Mack
went down to the hotel to make an
apology to General jackson for my
conduct in the pulpit the night before.
Shortly after I passed by the hotel,-
and met General Jackson on the pave
ment, and, before I approached him,
by several steps, he smiled, and reach
ed out his hand, and said:
"Mr. Cartwright, you are man af-
ter my own heart. am very much
surprised at Mr.. Mack, to think he
would suppose that would be offend
ed at you. No, sir, I told him I high
ly approved of your independence
that q minister of, Jesus Christ ought
to love everybody aud fear no mortal
man. / told Mr.. Mack that, if had
a few thousand such Independent,
fearless men as you are, l could take.
