STARTING A DAILY NEWSPAPER. The
Denbury Neps man knows good many
other things besides how to be funny
about starting daily newspaper, for
instance. He says: 1.-The Fitchburg
Sentinel. an excellent paper, is going to
start daily. We are glad of it. We
started daily once. We ran it nearly
four months and paused. Since then
we take lively interest in such enter
prlscs. We have no doubt the Sentinel
people will make the daily work, and
We are quite sure it will make them
work. 4 uhn who goes through life
without having started daily paper,
misses d rare and valuable experiences.
Falling down stairs will hardly compeu-
safe him."

The st. Louis Democrat is responsible
for the following illustration of the perils
Of sensational preaching:
There is no denying the court That Is
paid to the rising party by men of all
callings and conditions. The other day
a venerable preacher OF the Christian
persuasion was holding service in his
church which is In the heart of grange
community. In the course OF his SER
mon he became eloquent, and exorted
his hearers TO come to Christ; and in
sisted upon personal and direct COM
munication with the Father, declaring
that all other means were as useless as
middle-men in trade" The next day he
went to his butchers to buy some meat,
and was thunderstruck to be denied.
"Whati" he exclaimed, "don't pay
for what get 2" As he waxed wroth
he reasoned: ''Havn't always paid for
what l got ?"
"Yes," coolly replied the butcher.
"but | can't sell you any more meat
You must go to the steer for your steak.
and | am going to Christ for nv re-
liglon.. | don't want any middle-men
around me-"

A WOMAN OF BUsISEss.-There is a
lady in this city who is author, doctor,
artist and actress, and who has won
success In each OF the four professions
After breakfast in the morning she will
write for couple Of hours on her story
or essay for the periodical that employs
her. From ten TO two she practices
medicine, and receives patients in her
office. She then works at her ease as a
painter till six, and makes pretty pic
lures, which always find ready sale.
After dinner, and an hours rest, she
will go TO the theater at which she is
engaged and play the part for which she
may be set down In the cast. Did any
body ever know u man who could do
anything like this Besides all, she is
accomplished in the pretty feminine
arts, knows how TO make her own
clothes, Is the mother OF what Walt
Whitman calls "bully boys" and un-
derstands how to use her income from
all her professions.--NeU York letter to
the Cincinnati Commercial.

The Judicial Oath.

1--WE demand that the Judicial oath IN
the courts, and in all other departments
OF the Government, shall be abolished
and that simple affirmation, under the
pains and penalties OF perjury, shall bC
established in its stead"
In connection with the above "De-
mand for Liberalism" the following
extracts from the Pilgrim and the Siria,
appear TO me sufficiently interesting
and appropriate TO merit being placed
before the the readers of the Lnder::
"But it is our system of judicial
swearing that has struck me as exceed
ingly curious.
"His evidence was essential and salts
factory, but the lawyer who was on the
other side very nearly succeeded in re-
Jectlng it, and was only foiled by the
singular wit of the witness. He was
repnted to be an infidel,' whateyel
that may be, and on entering the wit.
ness-box, the counsel stopped the clerk
who was about to administer the oath,
saying that he wished to ask the wit
ness question about his religious opin-
ion.
"The witness observed that when
sworn he should be most happy TO
answer any questions about the case
before the court but that his opinions
concerned nobody but himself; they
were not evidence and nothing he could
say unsworn could be evidence; he hoped
that, therefore, his honor, the Judge,
would save him from any Irrelevant GU
riosity.
"'Perhaps, then,' said the witness, Il
may be informed II, not being sworn,
/ am bound to speak the truth p
mot legally said the judge.
Witness thanked the judge, and,
turned to the counsel, said, Now, then,
sir, you may just ask me what you
please, and will endeavOr to frame my
answers to suit youn
''Sseing that an examination under
such circumstances would be 4 farce,
the lawyer requested that the oath might
be administered. This done he again
commenced:
"'NOw that you are legally bound to
speak the truth, | desire to know if YOU
believe in the New Testament, on which
pou have been sworn?
Turning to the judge, with AN ex-
preston OF mock humility, witness said.
d pray your honors protection
The judge told him TO answer the
question.
"'But, your honor, it's not fair. He
wants to make me commit myself, be-
cause he knows my evidence will tell
against him.
Exactly so,' said the counsel, smil-
ing.
"'What,' asked the Judge, do YOU
mean by making you commit your
self?'
"'Why, your honor, he wants me 10
dlsqualify myself for being sworn as q
witness, by acknowledging that / be-
lieve in the divine authority Of a book
that contains a positive Injunction
against swearing at alli'
ION hearing this most unexpected re-
ply, the lawyer answered the Judges in
gulring smile by throwing himself back
in his seat and declining 10 oppose the
witness.
"Does Ii not seem strange that the
very truthfulness which would induce a
man 10 acknowledge his disbelief should
be used TO discredit him?
at seems TO me absolutely certain
that a little advance In the public intel
ligence will cause the oath to be dis
cRrded altogether. AS an appeal to the
supernatural, it really means nothing,
and as a legal contract il might he made
equally binding and less Objectionable" d"

RECEPTION OF GENERAL SHERMAN
BY THE SULTAN.

| When the party had once entered
the hall the order OF precedence was
announced to them by Servia Pasha
through Mr.. Brown, the dragomsn.
Only at that moment was it discovered
that Lieutenant Grant was to 60 first,
and, as the son Of the President of the
United States, be received as prince
royal. 1t was too late to do any thing by
way Of explanation, and though "Fred"
went forward very reluctantly, he ac.
oepted the situation, and, followed in
order by General Sherman, Mr. Boxer,
and the rest of the the party, approach
ed the staircase, where, on the landing
at which it divided, was standing Alb.
dul Assis, Sultan of Turkey, who, shak.
ing Lieutenant Grant by the hand,
turned, motloned him to continue up
the stairway, and walked BY his side,
without paying any attention to the
rest of the party. The Sultan conduct.
ed them into very handsome room,
locking out upon most beautiful scene,
embracing the Bosphorus, Golden
Horn, and city Of Stamboul. After
entering the room the Sultan received
General Sherman very oourteously,
and seating himself, motioned the par
ty to do likewise. After short pause
he began the conversation in Turkish,
which was translated by Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Boxer make a short speech re.
counting the history Of the visitors.
The interview lasted shout fifteen min.
utes, and at its termination the Sultan
accompanied the party to the head of the
staircase, where he shook hands with
Lieutenant Grant and the general,
simply inoliniug his head to the rest.
Abdul Assiz is rather stout, about Eve
feet eight inches in height, has large
dark eyes, grayish hair and beard. He
was dressed in loose suuff:colored pant.-
looms, black coat, cut like that Of 40
Episcopal minister, and patsnt.leather
shoes. Under his coat he wore = white
flannel shirt, on his head the fez, and
on the little finger Of his right hand an
immense ruby ring. He assured the
