Wedeem it highly desirable for all
spirituaIly-minded Theists, when
possible and convenient, to go and
spend few days or weeks in prayer
and devotion in some lonely place on
the hills.
A band Of Bfahmo pilgrims have
lately gone up the Himalayas for
this ? urpose. There object is simp>
ly to invigorateand purify their souls
by means Of solitary devotion, and
enter into sweet and lasting COM
nunion with the loving Father. Nc
worldly motive b as led them thither.
They have not proceeded in search
Of gold or silver, but they have left
home, family and friends to seek the
ire assures Of faith, love and purity.
They have gone to see the Lords
glsry and beauty in His heavenly
mansions on mountain tops. They
have gone to worship him in solitude
whom they have long adored in the
midst of family and friends,
They are lodged in quiet and
romantic place, from where they
command splcndid3sview of a long
range of heights, covered with etern-
al suow. In the morning they all
60 away in different directions for
prayer and meditation. Each sits
alone in seperate place, under some
shade tree, and seeks the Lord in
the inner chambers of theheart. 1t is
interesting to see them thus engag-
ed in profound meditation and devo-
ton, Now and then they pray and
then they pray and and sing togeth-
er. and realize the blessings of splr-
itual fellowship.
On one occasion they went down
to a retired spot in :.the glen below,
and sitting beside a waterfall, chant
ed together the name Of the MercifuI
God, and had a most enthusiastic
and delightful service. The wor-
shippers rejo ced greately, and the
mountains rang with the solemn
sound of Brahnaa kr5va hi keval.

We hope similar bands of Brahmo

high mountains in India, for the

DECORATION DAY.
A PROCLAMATION.

By The Gooern0r Of tAe..State of Wisconsin
A nations gratitude to its heroic
dead finds becoming expression in
strewing annually their graves witt
flowers. Sorrow that SO many pat
liots have fallen, joy that their fall
perpetuates the nataion, mingle in
the breasts of all who live to enjoy
tie blessings their suferings have
secured.
The Thirtieth day of May has
been set apart by our people to
evidence this gratitude by decorating
with flowers the graves Of the
soldiers who fell defending the
Republic in the late war. The
appropriateness of the custom will
commend itself to every one. It Is
at once graceful tribute to the dead
whom we love to honor, and pleas
ing incentive to the living, TO emulate
the good of their example.
/, therefore, recommend that all
good citizens join, that day, in this
honorable ceremony. While the
carrying out Of this recommendation,
in places where military organizations
or Posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic exist, is sentrusted more
Immediately to those organizations,
and where they do not exist, to the
survivors OF the late war, yet all are
invited to unite in the observance of
the day.
In testimony whereof, I have
hereunto subscribed my name, and
caused the great seal of the Stete to
be hereuuto affixed.
Done at the Capitol of Madison,
this fifth day of May, in the year ofolr
SEAL Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-four.

The people of this state thus see
how Attorney-G General Sloan knows
how to protect his individual inter-
est. But he is paid large salary
to protect all, including the humblest
citizen OF the state, against the
unlawful chargessof these roads. He
has taken an oath in addition to do
this. But neither the salary nor the
oath has thus far yielded any fruits
beyond that Of saving a few dollars

from Virginia City, Nevada, says that the
anti-Sharonites are circulating an address
signed by j. McGill of the San Francisco

from the fact that many of the workingmen
consider it unnecessary interference of out

murdered many persons, and then proceeded
to Cape st. Lucas, where the people rose and

audience assembled to hear speeches from

Mr. Hoar spoke briefly. defending the ad
ministration and the republican party against
the attacks of their opponents.
Mr. Blaine discussed the great issue which
marks the dividing line between the de mo-
cratic and republican parties. 1t is not the
finance question, for most of the dems. and
not few Of the reps.are unsouLd upon that
question. Nor the tariff, for some dems. are
not free traders. The great dividing issue is
found in the three amendments to the consti-
tuition. The reps. recognize and maintain
the duty OF the government TO protect the
rights of citizenship. This was his theme.
He spoke of the care with which the English
protect the rights of their citizens. Showed
that our government never hesitates to pro-
tect the rights of our citizens abroad. and
cited the cases Of Martin Kosta and Mr..
Howard, in Cuba. He then spoke of the as
saults made on the right of citizenship in the
reconstructed States, where they are tram
pied on by systematicicsnspiracy to suppress
the rights of certain class of citizens. In
this case it is the imperative duty of the gov
eminent to protect the rights of citizenship,
but the dems. deny its right to do so. The
democratic party is responsible for the dis
turbed condition of the south. The dems. of
the north can stop these outrages. l can
name so democrats whose word could end
the trouble. Yes, can name ten, two of
them from New York, whose weight of char
acter and weight Of influence might give
