The Portland daily press., 1873-10-13

Rev, A. A. Smith preached in the morning
from James l., %: "But be We doors of the
word, and not hearers only, deceving your
own selves" To be Christian is something
more than to have learned the history of Christ
A word religion is a religion of the ear and not
the heart. Such a religion does not bring tai
| ent or influence to the cause of Christ. There
| is too much of it in the Church to-day, and the
| great need of its members is conservation to
| God. God demands fruit and service and He
will not accept any man who can simply say,
81 have testified to Thy word" Again, trust
in a religion of words is self deception. We
cannot too carefully heed the words of the
apostle, for we have a single trial for Heaven
| only, and the steps we take to-day are taken
forever Every individual should ask himself
to what he can point as sure evidence that he
! is a Christian.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
The pastor, Rev. DR., Smaller, preached lie the
afternoon from Luke 10: 80, ''And behold there
are last, which shall be first and there are first
that shall be last" This passage was spoken
to the laborers, but referred no doubt to the
judgment day. 1t impresses us with the
changes of the things of this life Those that
in this world stand highest in their own esteem
will in that day stand lowest in the esteem or
God. AT that day goodness and not greatness
will be required. Our advantages will also be
considered; there will be those who have heard
but single sermon, who have saved their souls.
| Others who have had every advantage will be
cast out. We shall also see that life is longest
that best answers life's great end. Let us not
| envy the great and noble. Unless their great
ness IS goodness it will perish. Those that shall
be first in another world, shall he so far real
goodness in this.
| PINE STREET CHURCH.
The services at this church were conducted
by d. H. Hannaburg, pastor. His text was
from 18th chap. Isaiah, part OF the verse;
1.-THE mountains and the hills shall break forth
before you into singing and all the trees OF the
field shall clap their hands" The first thought
introduced was thai nature sympathized with
man. 'The strees clap their hands" The
leaves of the trees were emblematic of the tree
itself. The maple leaf is an emblem of the

In one portion of the Indian Territory
are several thousand Cheyenne and Ara
pahoe Indians, who, a few years ago.
were among the most unmanageable of
the hostile trites, but are now permas
nently settled on a reservation, where
they are under the complete control of the
government agents These Indians. how
ever, are rather impracticable subjects,
for, although quite peaceable now in their
purposes, they have decided objection
to labor, which they consider degrading
The consequence is that they devote their
energies principally to buffalo hunting,
pony raising and perpetual horse trading.
These savages are accomplished In all the
arts of jOckeying, but as unlicensed white
traders are not permitted to deal with
them, and the licensed traders Go not buy
ponies, their traffic IN this description of
live stock, though it may prove profitable
30 the individuals, fails to add anything
to the general wealth. With the exceps
ton of trihing sums received from the
sale of their surplus buffalo robes. these
savages are almost entirely dependent on
the government for their support 1t
would be an easy matter to induce these
Indians to engage in the occupation of
raising cattle for sale in the States, q pur-
suit admirably adapted to their tastes and
habits. With little judicious help from
the authorities az the start the Cheyennes
| and ArapahOes could in a short time be-
come rich in herds, instead of being the
objects Of national charity.

Wants to Know.

From the following dispatch 10 the
n. Y. San, it will be seen that even old
Mozie Morton is DESTROYS of knowing
something about the Louisiana muddle:
Senator Morton has offered a resolution
instructing the Committee on Privileges
and Elections to inquire whether there is
a legal State Government in Louisiana
and If so, by whom constituted He said
he was authorized by the majority of the
committee to offer the resolution, and
that the design Of it was to give the com
mittee authority tc 90 into the whole
subject matter of the investigation com
mitted to them
Mr. aulsbuTy offered an amendment,
directing the committee, if it found no
legal government in Louisiana, to inquire
when it ceased to exist, and whether any
Federal officer, executive or Judicial, had
anything to do with overthrowing it..

Big Profits from a Huge swindIe

On the 10th, in Washington, the Viii
son Special Committee resumed the ex>
animation of T. c. Durant, who, by the
way, seems to know a good deal about
the profits Of the Credit 46bilier:
Witness said the Boomer contract was
$27, 500 a mile The Union Pacific Board
of Directors passed a resolution extending
the Hoxie contract over these fifty eight
miles at $4,000 a mile. This resolution
was not carried into effect. the witness
having protested, and Judge Barnard bav
ing granted an injunction. The Boari
afterward expunged his protest from the
books and rescinded the resolution. If
the resolution had been carried into efN
feet, the difference between $27 800 and
$50 600 would have gone into the Credit
Mobilier Early in January, 1868, the
trustees of the Ames contract had entire
control of the Union Pacific Railroad
1t was shown by the books that the ag-
gregate amount spent on the Ames and
Davis contracts was about $55 900 900,
and the Dividends 81 100000, or twenty
per cent on the SO, OO0,e0O, or 81 per

Here is an account of another cold
blooded murder, which took place in New
York. More food for the worms, more
victims for the gallows:
On Sunday evening, Charles Lockwood
and Marshall McGruder, both composi>
tors, and boar ling with Mrs Hammond,
l44 Madison street, .quarreled about an
insult said to have been offered by the
former to female boarder, Miss Annie
Brown, and struck each other. McGruder
remarked he would not fight Lockwood
on the Sabbath, but that he would shoot
him like dog the following day. Finding
that Lockwood kept his room, he burst
the door and deliberately fred two shots
at him. McGruder swearing he wonid
shoot any one who interfered with him
then descended to the basement and cool
Iy sat down to supper. A police Hthcel
was called in, who allowed him to con-
clude his meal, and, after disarming him

The San Antonio Herald has the fol-
lowing interesting account of the two
boys recently recovered from the lpdi>
ans
Yesterday Major Rondlebrook, in COM
mand of an escort of men, reached our
city from Fort Sill, having in charge a
son of Mr.. l.. H. NJ Smith, of Boerns,
We interviewed" the boys soon after
their arrival, and had quite lengthy
conversation with them. MIR. kOrn's son
Is only thirteen years old he is quite
stout and healthy looking having enjoyed
good health since he was captured some
three years ago on Llano river. Ills
meeting with his father, mother, sisters
and brothers was very effecting; he re-
eoguized them all, ard was apparently
glad TO reach home. Mr. Smiths son Is
older and more manly appearing than the
other boy. He was captured two years
ego on the Cibolo, and his older brother
as captured at ths same time; his
brother is still with the Indians. He
will be sent home during this week.
MAJOR Rondlebrook tells US that the
boys, on the road down, would climb into
trees OF nights and initiate owls, coyotes,
squirrels, etc, and we're never satisfied
when compelled to sleep near the camp
ana among the soldiers. IN the day
time, on the march, they were always
looking into holes, hollows, etc, and
passed away the time by shooting a.
different objects with their bows anc
arrows.
The boys looked wild out of their ewes
AMI il is doubtful If they will feel M HON,
for some time to come.

Of ice companies having houses along the
Hudson have been hard at work scraping
the snow fom the river and planning the
hard black ice for the great harvest. The
greatest activity prevails from Rockland
Lake to Albany Not in fifteen years
has there been Such splendid ice cutting
as now. The ice Is of magnificent quality,
not particle of il being honey-combed,
but clear "a glass and hard as rock The
facts connected with the present harvest
and the details are important and full of
interest. The statistical part of the re-
port shows that the ice business on the
Hudson is much more extensive than last
year, and that in ten years it has doubled.
