Of It's security is still Christ. He is

The Untrersal ectention of the
Christian Church is of course, only a
question Of time, as sure as truth is
stronger than falsehood--as sure as
love is better than selfshness, SO sure
is it that the kingdom of Jesus shall
one day come; that His will shall be
done on earth as it is done in heaven.
Zion shall arise and shine, her light
having come and the glory Of the Lord
having risen upon her.

THAT INFAMOUS Law s'-tast
evening about half past sig O'Clock
while coming down Wisconsin street,
we witnessed SIGHT which, if we ever
had any doubts concerning the e1pe-
diency Of the liquor law, banished
them all from our mind. 4 little dot
of girl, not more than seven years Of
age, was walking up tbe street facing
cold biting vrJ and trying to lead
home drunken Either. She Was well
clad, and looked as though she had
been brought up in comfort at least.
and had Intelligence enough to appre-
ciate the modification which drunk
en- father brings on child.
On one arm she carried heavy market
basket almost as biz as she was, and
With the other she was trying to
lead the man. Her little hands were
blue with cold, but she could not let
90 his arm, seeming to fear least he
would st'gger to the pavement if she
did. As We passed her under gas
lamp she hung down her head, and an
expression Of shame came over her
pretty face showing that she felt the
modification her companion 5 condition
brought upon her. We stopped and
watched her as she went along, as far
as our evas could follow her in the
gloom, but the bitter cold soon awnke
us to a realization Of our existence, ana.
as we walked away we thought > and,
vet thofe are persons and even Jour
nails in this community that ca1 the
law which preye',ts si.loonskeepers from
selling liquor to sucf. man as that,
and bringing uhtoia misery on inno-
cent women and children, infamous.

An Immense Timber Region.
The Timber Region Aroua2 and
AbOM Puaet Sound.

About Puget Sound.
Hon. William 4. Howard, of Grand
Rapids, last week delivered a lecture
III that city oh his recent western trip.
The following extract from the lecture
gives some idea Of the timber region
| around and about Puget Sound:
"There is more lumber around Pu-
get Sound than [ ever saw before.
There is one channel called Hoods
Channel, that seems to run from Port
Townsend, 80 or 20 miles toward the
Columbia River, and perhaps not aver
aging over half mile wide, and # one
half Of what people said about the ti.n-
Der growing there was true, and it was
here in this market, it would build the
Northern Pacific Read. The timber is
fir and pine. There are three kinds, the
white, yellow. and the red, the red pre-
dominating. 1t has a coarse grain,
more like hcmlock, but is free from
knots, and the wood between the
seams, that separates the layers, is of
red color, and soft This kind of tree
grows to an enormus size. Indeed, all
that the timber thieves there think Of
and exert their ingenuity for. is to find
trees small enough to handle to advau-
tage, not liking to grapple with the
big ones. We went through q portion
Of this forest when we went to Olympia
By stage, and it was very rare to find a
tree as small as three feet at the butt.
They were from five to six, seven,
eight, and sometimes nine and ten feet
through at the butt, and marvelously
tall, some two hundred feet high.
''W hat would you say if | stated
amount of lumber more than the aver
age for five acres in Michigan? Every
one that knows pine lumber lands in
Michigan knows that 10000 feet is
more than an average, taking the whole
of the pine lands of the state perhaps
! 5000 would be fair average. At 10,
600 five acres would have $4,000 feet.
Now suppose we take a tree ten feet
through; that ought to square six feet
A piece of square timber one foot in
length would contain 80 cubic feet, or
of board measure 1872 feet Suppose
you went on in that way until you had
worked up 20o feet, you would have
Z00 times 4a2 feet, that is Sc. 400 feet.
and then YOU have 20 or so feet be-
yond that left | saw there trees 10
feet through at the butt, sound as they
could be, straight as an arrow, more
than 250 high. 1t does not make very
good finishing LUMBER as it is coarse.
But all over there are enormus white
ceders which even grow on the islands.
and which make very fine finishing
lumber. | was told at Olympia that
this white white cedar lumber brought
$40 per 1000 at Portland;"

ROASTED ALIVE james Welsh was a tough
old Irish tanner, who worked for Mr.. Tor
renee, near Moscow, Tennessee. lie worked
diligently at hide tanning for many years. and
did not go Oh spree more than thrice year.
lie considered it sanitary measure to inebr
ate every four months, more or less. lie kept
perfectly straight during Christmas, just to
show that he was not to be influenced by
any common enthusiasm in his Soups -
The moment, however, that Christmas day
was over, he told his employer that he wanted
TO visit the village. lie had several friends

when Welsh failed to return that night On the
contrary, he would have been astonishpd if
Welsh had returned. Two or three days
would be only reasonable time for him to re-
main away. Mr.. Terrence, however, was
grievcd and disappointed both when, on the
twenty-seveDth of the month, he was sent for
to go and inspect the charred remains Of
man which was found under the not quite
extinct embcrS of fallen tree.
On the 27ih some lumbermen went into the
bottom north of Moscow. While at work

PRosTRATIoy IN NEW ORLEASs.-A New
York reporter, who has been interviewing some
of the Louisiana committee, draws melan-
choly picture of the condition of business
affairs in New Orleans as the result of the
subversion of the State government to militia
ry rule. He says; !,
" Property in New Orleans will not sell for
one-fonrth its valuation. Many persons would
be willing TO accept one-third the value of
their property in order to invest their money
elsewhere. One of the best reasons for this
great depreciation is the enormous taxation,
which amounts TO a virtual confiscation -
Land owners pay FIVE per cent taxes, and the
present Legislature contemplates an increase
of the rate. One case was a piece of property
which is rented for Sl3, 600 per year, and on
which the proprietor has 10 pay 1000
There are innumerable elegant private resi-
dences and many stores which can be occupied
by the lessee merely giving an agreement
that be will pay the taxes Plantations that
formerly were valued at $3.50, coo can now be
bought for $40, 900. In the most desirable
business localities of New Orleans there are
more vacant stores than ever before

both young and old. Prayer books, writing

voices which rung out in such good time and
touching melody in the music of the occasion,
was presented with handsome gold watch
and chatelaine, by the congregation.
The services and sermon on Xmas morning
were strikngly appropriate, the music very
good, and the congregation, though the wealth

A CURIOUS Story OF THa LATE CoNFEDERA-
cY,-The iynchburg Firgintaa narrates an in
cident in the career Of the late Confederacy
which goes to show how greed may overcome
patriotism. Richmond was the headquarters
OF the Treasury Department, and the national
currency. At time when new issue of
bonds had just been ordered, there was en-
ployed in the Treasury Department man ma
med Elan, who saw the way to sudden wealth
through Il bold move, which he with an asso-
ciate, proceeded at once to make. One night
the Two men entered the Treasury building
through back window, and taking the plates
from the denomination of SIS TO 81 000 they
placed them on the press and printed, on the
regular paper, five million of dollars. There
was no more difficulty in printing them than
in printing an ordinary business card, and
there were no precautions taken to prevent
such an enterprise as that undertaken by the
two worthless. All that remained TO be done
to make the bonds fit for circulation was to
have them signed The signing at this time
was done by the young ladies in the depart
ment, one hupdred Of whom were thus en-
ployed. The men persuaded two of these TO
sign their bonds, and after Il division they had
each two and half millions of bonds, worth
al that time their face value in gold or silver
The discovery came in its natural way The
paper was missed. The men were flush with
their money, offering hundred dollar bills in
payment of small debts, and in other ways
acted suspiciously. One was arrested, and he
ing terribly frightened confessed his guilt and
implicated the other. Both were thrown into
prison, from which one afterward escaped and
went North, but the other suffered the penalty
of his crime on the gallows. As FOR the bonds
nothing was ever known of them. Whether
they were concealed, destroyed, or put in sur
rcptitious circulation is uncertain, but the for
mer suppositon is the most probable.
