"There shall be one fold and one Shepherd"
"Neither pray | for these alone, but for
them also who shall believe in me through
their word; that they all may be one: as thou,
Father, art in me, and in Thee, that they
also may be one in us; that the world may
believe that Thou hast sent me;n

as we are one; in them and thou in me, that
they may be made perfect in one; and that
the world may know that Thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them as Thou hast loved me-"
From these and similar passages of Scrip
ture 1t seemed very clear to them that Christ's
church Is one, and that the Savior deSigned
that his people should be one.
And 1t appeared to them equally clear that
the principal reason why Christ's Church and
people are not one, not united, is TO be found in
the various sectarian churches lording it over
Gods heritage, and which have created dici-
sions, and hatred, and strife among Christ's
people, thereby destroying the oneness Of His
church and people, whereby the world has not
6elieCed that He was sent OF the Father.
Therefore, believing that the most efIectual
way to bring about the unity of Christ's
church and people Is to discard all human
creeds and sectarian divisions, and unite on
the Bible as the only Bond Of linton, they
adopted and subscribed the following

Theatrical Amateurs.

The vitality of the theatrical amateur
is something truly wonderful. In VAIN
do we assure Tompkins that his voice
has little more melody in it than is to
be heard in the sharpening of saw.
In vain do we declare that Browns face
has no more expression than peeled tur-
nip; that Smith whose legsIare almost in
visible, should not play romantic lovers
in tights; that Jones with his fat, round
figure, broad face and google eyes, is
not Shakespea.e Romeo" that
johnson. with his remarkable squeak,
does not present the crooked-backed
=" Richard" Nothing depresses and
disheartens the amateur. He has the
adventurous spirit of Livingstone, the
heroic nature of Nelson, the patience
of Job, the subtlety of Macchiavelli
to compass this great end, which is to
be seen and heard upon the stage. A
moderate computation of the number
of theatrical amateurs at the present
moment would startle some non-theat-
rical readers. Perhaps we should not be
far wrong in assuming that five thous
and of these harmless lunatics are
spouting, shouting, raying, giggling, and
forgetting the language of many estima
BILE authors every week, under the i'm
preston that they are doing themselves
much credit, amusing their friends and
advancing the drama. The very best
actor that ever trod the stage must
once have been an amateur, but the
finding one born actor in the midst o
a thousand amateurs is as hard as the
proverbial finding needle in a stack o.
hay.-London Era.

Where Does the Gold Come Froms

This question has never been salts
torily answered by biologists. They
can see as far into a milestone as any
body, but where the great depot or

thrown toward the surface to be rolled
in the sand by the action of running
water or caught as prisoners in quartz
rock, while that was either held in
solution or in the condition of pulveri

Occasionally such enormous nuggets

Destruction of the Germs of Disease.

this Injuries the ibers of all kinds of
cloth SO seriously that they are unfit for

that the mere agency of heat cannot be
depended upon for the destruction of

from any contagious disease.
The necessity for a change in opinion
regarding the power of chlorine gas to
accomplish this purpose is urged in a
recent report of the New York Boar |
of Health on the disinfection of cloth

to contamination by smallpox. In the
report in question carboic acid is espe-
cially recommended for the disinfection
of clothing and bedding, and sulphur
Gus acid gas prepared by burning sui
phur for the disinfection of rooms.
The latter substance especially seems to
have the power of utterly destroying
the germs of smallpox, while chlorine

made at present of the progress made

qrrTnsTTFIABLB LAMENTATIONS

IN commerce as in politics we are nak-
ing gnistakes, perhaps. New Orleans is
looking the wrong way for trade. and be-
cause she does not get it.she laments and
forbodes calamity and desolation. Our
business is with the outside world and not
with the insideo When we have perfected
our seward lines OF travel, the inland
lines yill then take care of themselves.
St. Louis Is our affection at present, be-
cause she is drawing trade from Northern
Texas. This is our loss, it is true, since
we once had a monopoly of the Texas bust
ness. gu! il is % loss that we should baTe
expected. since what trade Texas has with
St. Louis ought not TO be forced to come to
New Orleans, this being % very circuitous
route for it to pay It's way over. Themanu-
features that the West sells to the Southe
west ought to be forwarded directly and
since the country IS almost a dead level
FROM Houston TO ST. Louis, railroad be-
tween the two places might have been force
seen by us. And we 2night have known
that such a road would take the trade that
did not properly belong to us. We lost it
quicker than we should have done by al
lowing the AEissourians to build their rail
road first. but 'Te dis not Jose what be-
1onged to Use
Aud the St. louis road will benefit New
Orleans sery largely in the Tong run be'
cause it is in the hands Of men who are
determined to see that Texas gets her
proportion of the emigration that pours
in a continuous stream from the shores 0!
Europe to the lands Of the West. When
our line of railroad is completed we must
reap great advantages from the settlements
that are forming in Texas, and every i'm
provement the West makes in the South
west mist ultimately benefit this place, its
natural commercial fountain.
Weak men lament-strong ones hope
and work. Our labor is in progress, not
withstanding that the Iamentation Of the
weak is louder-voiced than it is.
