DEAR SIRs-Permit to reply through
the columns OF your paper, to the arli-
Gle published in Saturdays paper. April
4tb. headed a Protest Against Street
PRAYING" aud signed Citizen" 1t
seems to me that Mr.. Citizen does
occupy a position tina, is hard to defiae.
He writes q great long article, and he
appears to be greatly n favor of the
tenn peralce cause, but he does not want
to resort to any measures that the pub
lie will SCOT at. ask, are We as Chris
tan people to ask the world what
course to pursue to advance the king
dom of our God2 Certainly not! Il
we expect to successfully discharge our
Christian dusy toward God aud our fell
! low man, we must seek advice from
something higher than fallen humanity;
or, in other words. 10 come to the point
at once, view the present movement
O, the women as OF God, as coming from
God, aud being approved BY Him; and
I firmly believe that the spirit OF oul
God is guiding aud directing those "o'
men in this war to overthrow th'
greatest evil that ever existed on tb'
face OF this earth.
am sorry TO see any man pureu'
the course that "Citizen" does, and a.

minds Of the public that he is = tenn

We don't ask prayers that cay: "Ot

that as long as they continue TO cause
such an excitement as they are now. no

With the cause. This I consider An
insult to some OF our best citizens who
are strong supporters OF the crusade
But let that pass. We pay no atten-

How he Illustrated.

A Hardshell preacher wished to bring
forth good illustration,as he thought, and
hence he took sOarnut as he called il,
into the pulpit with him, and something
to crack it with. On holding it up, in the
course of his sermon, he said My friends,
you see this warnut--well this outer hull
here is like the Methodists, soft and spun
gy with no strength in It see, ev'n break
it with my fingers" and suiting the action
to the word he disclosed the inner hull, and
said, "this is like the missionary Baptist,
hard dry with no substance in it, but the
kurnul-the kurnul, my friends, is like the
good old primitive full of fatness and sweet
ness. He then proceeded to crush the war
nut and give his readers an occular demon
stration of his illustration, but behold it
was rotten and to the utter astonishment
of his hearers he cried out "By jings, it's
rotten"

willing to ObIIre.

A very progressing young lady, can
wasting fora popular book, stepped into
the Office of real estate broker in Spring
field, Mass, the other morning, and finding
the broker apparently at leisure, asked him
to look at her books. The gentleman po-
litely informed her that it would only be a
waste of time, as he could not purchase it.
"Oh, never mind that" calculated the
vivacious young woman; cit won't cost
anything to look at it even if you don't
buy. l should like to have you read some
portions of it and see what it is" The
accommodating broker took the volume,
and glancing at the title-page, commenced
a perusal of the introduction. This fin
ished, he began at the first chapter, and
read carefully and leisurely along. 1t
was about 0 o'clock when he commenced,
and an hour passed silently away. Then
that book agent began to exhibit signs of
nervousness, which were apparently un-
noted by the broker, for he never raised
his eyes from the volume, but read steadily
on. Eleven o'clock came, and the lady
began to walk rather smartly about the
room, glancing occasionally out of the
windows. At noon the broker was still
reading, and the agent wore decidedly
troubled countenance. A few minutes
before o'clock the broker laid the book
down, leisurely donned his overcoat and
hat, and remarked blandly. That is a
very good book. am sorry that cannot
read more of it, but am obliged to so
to dinner. If you will call in this after
noon, will read some more oft"

GB- Parson Brownlow tells good story
of an old Presbyterian bachelor preacher,
known almost as women-hater until he
was nearly fifty years old, when he married
and settled somewhere among the noun
tains of North Carolina. The parson says:
Our bachelor friend was preaching on the
sinners excuse. 81 have bought piece
of ground, and wish to see it," said one.
Here is want Of inclination to attend to di-
vine things" said the preacher. "Another
said, "Ihave bought five yoke of oxen, and
must needs go and prove them" This
seems case of necessity. A third said, /
have married wife, and therefore / can
not come Here is a case of natural i'm
possibility, from which we may infer"
continued our bachelor preacher, " that
one woman will pull man further from
the Lord than ten steers.

Several years ago, while the Tom Thumb
troupe were travelling through New York,
the cash box containing several hundred
dollars of the funds was stolen. Mr.. VIM.
p. Miller, who was the treasurer of the
troupe, suspected girl who was employed
at the hotel in the place where they then
were, and his suspicious were further con-
irmed by her sudden disappearance. lie
managed, however, to get track Of her after
some time had elapsed, and worked up the
case SO well that she confessed to him that
she had taken the money topurchase a we'd
ding outfit, and that the marriage was soon
to take place. She refunded half Of the
stolen money, and Mr. Miller decided moi
to prosecute her for the balance. Shortly
after she married a wealthy English gentle
man, who was engaged in the lumber bust
ness in Chicago. Not many years had
elapsed when her husband died, leaving her
all Of his property. A few months ago she
also died, and in her will she left to Mr.
Miller the sum of $500, 600, as an express
sion Of her gratitude for not having prose
cuted her when in his power Mr.. Miller
who is of the firm of Miller, Morrison 4
Co., recently received letter from her ad
ministrator stating that he could draw OIL
him for 100000 at any time.

According to the latest returns the vote
for Governor in Oregon was about as follows
Grover, Democrat, nine thousand five hum
drod Toman, Republican nine thousand /;
Campbell, Independent, seven thousand. -
As heretofore stated, the Legislature is
very nearly equally divided between the
Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
In the county elections the most marked
successes seem to have been divided between
the Democrats and Independents. As the
Legislature is composed of nearly equal
sections from the different contesting par
ties, it is likely that the legislation which
is accomplished will be of the slow and
cautious order.

1t seems now to be a tolerably we'll
settled fact that General Butler will not
again be a candidate for reelection to Con.
gressi and, up to the present time, cer-
tainly, he has not thrown his influence in
favor of anybody in particular as his sue
cessor, though, for the past year or two, there
has been a good deal of discreditable and
servile bidding for his support in this
direction. With reference to the future in
tentions Of General Butler, we find that his
friends are constantly asserting that il is by
no means certain whether he will 20 for
the Goyernorship or not. Our impression
is that he means to be elected Governor Of
Massachusetts, if that thing is possible.
