The Coming Campaign.

AhO SOhhthS NhiHphBus
The Republicans must carry
Ohio in October. They can.
The only question is whether
they will.
Our strength may be weak
ened by trucking to a CON-
promising policy, which would
spare denunciations Of pcliti.
cal and moral crimes because
those guilty of them are high
in place in the party. Any
such trimming and time serv
ing will throw away Thousands
of votes. But We do not antic
lpate that the May Con,
ventlon Will indulge in it
People and press alike rebuke
the evil deeds which bad or
weak men IN and cut of Con.
gress have falsely saddled up,
on Republicanlsm, and bust
ness is meant when it it is de
clared that this rebuke is to be
made at Columbus in May

The best manner of conduct

which the greatest number Of
people are Induced TO sing.-
The service is not o ne Of enter.

praise. The command is, "Let
all the people praise Thee. p

Scotland believed this end best
reached and the command
obeyed by placing before the
congregation a precentor,
whose duty was 10 lead in the
service. The singing in Scotch
churches Is almost always
good. Their plan is in vogue
in many congregations in our
land, and works we'll. In some
parts oil Germany, and in many
of our American German
churches, the music is led by
one singer, with aG organ ac-
compartment. The Germans
habitually sing IN church; and
though some think their tunes
monotonous, the music in their
Protestant worship is invaria-
bly, good. The trouble in con
gregstlons led by choirs is that
the majority listen, but will
not be led. The choir do the
singing as well as the leading
The people praise by proxy
When the question is agitated,
the choir are blamed for their
selection of tunes, etc. Often
trouble arises, and divisions
are caused. The question, shall
there be good or bad singing
must be answered by the con-
gregation. They must act with
the choir and the choir with
them. 1t the choir yield to
their wish and sing some old
tunes, they must be ready t1
yield and sing some new ones
The habit OF singing must be
cultivated. The majority o.

A MICHIGAN man has invent-
ed a unique, poetlcal, and, to
his mind, eminently practical
mode of travelling rapidly on
horseback. His idea is TO con-
struct a cone shaped balloon,
which Is to be laid lenghthwise
upon the horses back. The
animal and rider are then to
be weighed, and the balloon
filled with just gas enough to
lift all but a few pounds weight
of horse and rider from the
earth, in order that the frisky
Pegasus may have nothing tC
do but 60 ahead. The posi-
BILE speed of such a contriv'
ance is as yet beyond conject
ure.

ylted the people Of the con-
gregation to attend choir meet
ing. His invitations were al
ways accepted by some; and
though the choir was made up
of professional singers, the
church had good congregation
al singing. Not only were new
tunes mixed with the old, but
tunes written by the leaders,
who was we'll known as q COM
poser, were largely used, and
are used to this day by the
congregation. Choir leaders
are as = r1Ie reasonable and
up to the average Of good
sense. In musical matters they
are the educators Of their
churches. Their tendency 10
sing fne and difficult music is
sometimes to be deplored. 1t
is, however, an error in the
right direction, and counter
acts a tendency on the part
Of the church to cling to a few
well.known tunes, to the neg
lect Of others easily learned
and just as good The duty of
every individual member Of q
congregation is to follow the
choir or leader in praise to The
best of his ability. A good
choir is an advantage to a
church, but to leave the sing-
ing entirely to it is q mistake.
The people are thereby robbed
of their part in the service,
and God is robbed of bis praise.
Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord.'-
Christian World.

misfortune is, the weakest

will adopt it; 1t is everywhere

But 1t is to be a new lind oi

AN Ex-PREsIDENTs GRAvE.-Be-
tween five and six miles from the
city, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, on an obscure neighbor-
hood road, a quarter of a mile
rom the Brownsboro road, rests
the remains of the twelfth Presi-
dent of the United States, Zach
airy Taylor. The grave is situated
on the northeast corner of the
Taylor farm, and it is notifying
to relate that it is in a sadly neg
lected condition, underbrush,
weeds and allanthus trees render
ing it very difficult of access. No
monument has ever been erected
to General Taylor's memory. The
remains lie in n plain vault, built
in the side of hill, with a marble
slab over the door, bearing the in
scription: 81. Taylor, born No
vember "a, 1884; died July ., 1880"
The place does indeed appear for
gotten. A stone wall incloses the
little aye-yard, and n rusty and
unused iron gate frowns upon the
visitor. 1t evidently has not been
opened for years. Colonel Rich
ard Taylor is buried to the right
of General Taylor. An obelisk,
eighteen feet high, is erected over
his grave, bearing the inscription ::

dier of the Revolutionary war, and
native of Orange county, Vir-
ginia; born April 3, IVA; died

BEEF AND BRAINs.-There is . |
tradition, probabably derived from
monkish times, that student or
learned man is also, of necessity, n
sickly or sallow man, who despises
the vain cares of eating and drink
ing. This is grave popular err
ror. The very reverse comes near
or the truth, Scholars and sayants
are not always aesthetic feeders,
but, unless prevented by sheer
poverty, they are usually right
hearty feeders-the principle be-
ing as true in the study as else
where, that good work requires
good eating. A senior wrangler
may not be able to STOW away
quite as large a plate of beef as a
coal HEAVIER, but he can dispose OF
a portion big enough to terrify any
one in the habit of dining with
Dio Lewis-which take to be the
American for dining with Duke
Humphrey. 'IBy their fruits ye
shall know them" In all the lit.
erature born of American asceti-
cism VIC see a thinness, 4 lack of
color, produced by lack of learn
ing. beyond what the rest of our
literature shows, inferior as even
that may be when judged by a
European standard. Nor is the
matter mended when the writer or
speaker endeavors to supply this
want by display of sonorous and
incoherent bosh, hich he and q
portion of his public have the
faulty to take for poetical senti
ment and oratorical ornament
But still more striking is the vul
garity of our ascstic literature
from the highest, in point of repu
tation and pretension, to the low
est. A large number of the old
time saints used to derive in form
er times-nay some of them still
derive at the present day-much o
their odor of sanctity from very
positive dirt. The holy friar Ii
pretty sure to be also the dirty
friar; his very name seems to con
note filth. In like manner there II

kind of Philistinism, which, tho
narrow and ignorant, is, above al
things, essentially and 'hopelessly
vulgar. That some amount o
sensuoIsness is necessary in art

ratio critics and artists are con
strained, however reluctantly il
some cases, to admit. A long sac
series of proofs points to a simila
conclusion in literature, and show

of sense will end by disgracini
rather than elevating it.-Car
