twenty, comprising the little fisher village
of Gull's Head tumble-down fence, en-
closing sundry heaps Of 6sh-hones and oys-
tor-shels In ono corner rose-bush and q
wcedy bed, with here aud there an aster or

bloom the dismal surroundings. A long

There are some curious developments
in the trial Of Marshal Bazaine, that she'd
considerable light on the ways Of French
warriors and statesmen Bazaine has sue
ceeded in proving that, after informing Me-
Mahon, on tho 10th Of August, that he
was moving out of Metz he was obliged on
the Goth to send another dispatch asserting
his entire inability to get out of the city
This second dispatch has been all along sup
pressed, aud has led to the belief that Nc
Mahon's defeat at Sedan was largely due to
his reliance on aid from his brother marshal.
1t is now clear that both Napoleon and
McMahon knew the situation Of affairs at
Metz, aud made their in-adyised and dis
astrous movement to the north with the
full understanding that they could expect
no assistance from Bazaine We get at the
truth slowly

The normal development of the reli-
gious faculty has the most ennobing inAu.
ence on the whole character; nothing so
strengthens and refues man. In our
present stage of civilization there arc two
truths which seem necessary to tho deyel-
opmeut of this faculty--the idea Of i'm
mortal life for each person, and the idea of
the infinite perfection of God. These are
no doubt the grandest, the highest and most
valuable ideas which mankind knows, these
are the two greatest lights in the heaven Of
human consciousness, TO rule alike our day
and night; but, as the sun and the moon,
they are no monopoly of men Of genius and
great learning; they are not conclusions
wrought out by careful study, but facts
given us in the nature of man, which we
feel instinctiyely at first. This feeling Of
human immortality and Gods perfection
was lived as life, long before it was uttered
by the philosopher or the poet and accord
ingy no truths are more widely welcomed
throughout the world than these -- Iheo

Abide with Ne.

This beautiful hymn was written by
Henry Francis Lytc an English clergy
man, who died at Nice, some years ago.
The manner in which it was composed is
thus told in the Christian H'ceiiy: 1t was
the autumn Of lS47 the gloom Of winter
was already settling upon the coast and
the pomps Of decay tingiug the leaves. The
pastor, who was now preparing to leave
the parish, and who seemed like one al.
ready lowering over the verge Of the grave,
determined to speak to his dear people once
more-perhars for the last time lle
dragged his attenuated form into the pulpit
and delivered his parting discourse, while
the great tears rolled down the hardy faces
Of the worshipers lie then administered
the Lords supper to his spiritual children.
Tired and exhausted, but with his heart
still swelling with emotion, he went home
The old poetic inspiration came over him,
and be wrote the words and music Of his
last song. lie had prayed that his last
breath might be spent, "swan-like,"

Marine business is decidedly on the Increase

at the docks

1t takes two days to unload some of
these vessels. The increase OF business
requires an increase of labor for It's &C
complishment. Laborers are all employed
on such occasions, ard at times there is a
demand for more than can be obtained,
though at other times there may perhaps be
demand for more employment. .-.,,..
There Is more coal being brought into
Kenosha than ever before. Mr.. Baldwin, as
will be seen from the above, had three vessel
loads unloading on Tuesday Previously to
this week he had received four vessel loads of
coal and is expecting three more. King and
Hale are also bringing considerable quanti-
ty of coal into Kenosha but just how much
we are not informed.
There is also more wood being brought into
Kenosha than ever before, and so there is OF

There is in the average American dispo-
sition to burlesque such matters as are pre-
sented for, and deserving Of, sober thought.
Thus, when Credit Mobiier is up for,discus-
sion and the integrity of our public men is
questioned, the mind is often diverted by a
picture or a aong before it CON passes the sub
iect. A lecturer comes to our city, highly
recommended, and announces course Of lee
lures on subjects Of vital importance to any
people. He draws an audience, struts for an
hour upon the stage, deals out skim milk
and stale wit, buS seldom benefits the peo'
pie. It is a shame that men should persist
ia this abomiuaole practice, and sac to
find persons who continually submit to it.

A DIVINE DESCENT.

Rev. E D. Huntley of Court Street church,
was unfortunate last night. After interes-
ting and instructing his audience, as is his
habit, he left the church and started for
home, bnt recollecting that he had left a
handsome boquet in the pulpit, Mr.. Huntley
returned to procure 1t. The lights in the
audience room by this time had been extin-
guisheG and his wsy was beset with dark
ness, but when the pastor of Court Stree
Church goes for thing he is pretty sure to
fetch 1t. And so he got the boquet. but In
turning to retrace his steps he accidentally
walked off the elevated platform upon w hi Gu
the pulpit is located and fell TO the floor,
disIocating one of lis elbows. The injury Is
an exceedingly painful one, but it will not
we hope, disable him for any great length
of time.-JaneSUiHe Gazette.
