CHURCH GAMBLING. The New York
Sun has The following ou the system of
rafting in churches:
"a bill has passed the Ohio House of
Representatives prohibiting lotteries
and gift enterprises, and is understood
to include within its operation raffiipg
for silver-plated trumpets at fairs and
other such schemes. This is right. A
clergyman WHO has to gamble for liv-
ing might as well stop praying and go
into the policy business openly. He
would at least deserve credit for open
dealing. 1t is pitiful to sec churches
advertising in provincial papers at
half rates, of course-that splendid
fireman's s hat will be given on such a
day to the fireman who gets the largest
number Of ten-cent ballots. or that seve-
raj splendid prizes will be grabbed for at
church fair at twenty five cents grab.
Ancient and modern paSans have never
burlesqued religion in this way. The
shrines of their gods have always been
rich in voluntary gifts. It is left for
Christians to secure support for church
es and ministers by the meanest meth
DDS Of lotteries and gambling"

The jacksonville Florida } Democrat
has the following good thing on Captain
Turner:
Captain Ed Turner, the popular
captain of the steamer Arctic, plying be.
tween Buffalo and Duluth, came to grief
in Fernandina a 1ew days ago. The
Captain started for stroll on the beach,
and having reached point which he
supposed was beyond the city limits, he
tried his skill ''on the wing" by firing
at a passing bird. But he had miscal-
culated his longitude or made too much
leeway. as the event showed. One OF
the efficient coIored policemen was
asleep in neighboring thicket, and
aroused by the sound of fire arms, he
double quicked to the scene of action,
gobbled up the offender against the city
ordinance and carried him before the
Mayor. That functlonary, after hear
ing the Captains story and allowing
due weight to the plea. that he was a
stranger, and unacquinted with local
laws. excused him. Butan after thought
occurred to him. '' Did I understand
you to say you Shot at bird ?" in
quired his honor. Yes, replied tie
accused. Did you hit him % " No ;
said the Captain, evidently crestfallen
at this exposure Of his unshillful marks
manshIp. Well, said the Mayor, Il
shall impose no penalty for the breach
Of the ordinance, but as ,ou confess
that you fired at as fair a mark as a bird,
on the wing at that, and missed; l teel ii
my dnty to fine you five dollars. This
court cannot permit such an example to
be set to the rising generation of this
island " FtFE. ROD

acured for him the respect of his f

death, were found series of proveri
and sentiments, to the observance OF
which, no doubt, much that distinguish
ed him may be attributed:
Keep good company or none. Never
be idle. Ifyour hands cannot be USE
fully employed, attend to the cultivation
of your mind. Always speak the truth.
Make few promises. Live up to your
engagements Keep your own secrets,
if you have any. When you speak to a
person, look him in the face. Good
company and good conversation are the
very sinews of virtue. Good character
is above all things else. Your charac-
ter cannot be essentially injured by
your own acts. If any one speak evil
Of you, let your life be so that no one
Will believe him. Drink no kind of in
toxicatine liquors. Ever live within
your income (misfortunes excepted.
When you retire to bed, think over what
yon have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper. small and steady gains give
competency, with tranquility of mind.
Never playat any game Of chance. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may not
Withstand it. Earn money before you
spend it. Never run in debt unless
you see way to get ont again. Never
borrow if you can possibly avoid it. Do
not marry until you are able to support
a wife. Never speak evil of any one.
Be just before you are generous. Keep
yourself innocent if you wonld be hap

when you get old. Read over the above

Hundreds and thousand of men quite as

AsPINwALL, VIA HAVANA, April To-
The city of San Salvador in Central
America. has been destroyed by an
earthquake. Eight hundred persons
perished and twelve million dollars
worth of property were destroyed.
The earthquake was followed by a
confagration and many buildings were
burned For a few days slight shocks
of an earthquake had occurred, but no
serious apprehension were entertained.
On the morning of the 4th inst, almost
without warning, great part OF the
city was reduced to little more than
ruins. The ground heared like ship
in gale; "a terrific laundering bHrst from
under foot, walls tottered and were rent
in many places with wide crevices, and
roofs sunk to the ground. Three vio-
lent shocks followed in succession. The
children screamed piteously and could
not be pacified, wild birds flew to the
houses, horses grew frantic in their sta
bles, dogs run about bowling for pro-
lection. Every few moments shocks of
less violence occurred.
The scene beggars all description
ruined houses, panic-strlcken people,
men. women and children fleeing to the
fields with valuablcs hastily collected.
Then, the ringing of alarm bells and
the beating Of drums calling all the
soldiers under arms, for in san Saliva
dor murder AMI pillage accompany the
confusion attendant upon great earth
qualscs, and the frightened citizens
leave the town and Indians from the
forests prowl into it for prey, and are
only checked by the bayonets of the
Government troops, who ale posted in
squads all over the city.

Brook S Assault UPON SUMNER.
Boston Commonwealth makes the follow
ing statement: "A party Of gentlemen
were dining with Hon. james L. Orr,
III Washington, just prior to his late
departure to his foreign mission, when
he incidently spoke of Brooks assault
uron sumner. He said he had heard of
the intended assault. and meant to pre-
vent it by being in the Senate-Chamber
and arresting the blow. On his way
thither, lie stopped into the library to
look at a book, which not being readi-
ly found, detained him few mint tes
longer than he had purposed, and dnr-
ing the delay the assault was made. Mr..
Brooks confessed to him before his
death that he never meant to have it 50
deadly as 1t was--intending only to
disgrace the Senator with the South
by fagellation, and said he could not
believe at first that Sumner was really
hurt. lie said, further, that he was
tired of life an1 wanted to die. The no.
toriety he had won was killing him by
inches; every bully or blackguard in the
South thrust their attentions upon him,
and it was too hard punishment to
bear. He said he had no doubt Brooks
felt the keenest regret for his part in
the affair, and that he was indeed tired
oflife with the burden of notoriety he was
Obliged to carry from it. He represent
ed him as generous hearted, impulsive
man, who, with the idea of vil.dicailng
his relative, Senator Butler, and the
'ch.valry of his section, was induced TO
make the assault.
