FIRST CONGREGATION4L CHURCH.
full house was in attendance yesterday morn
ing, among whom we noticed Postmaster General
Jewell and family, Speaker Blaine and family.
Senator Washburne- Of Mass, Representatives
Poland, Frye, Sawyer, Monroe and family, and
many others in public life. We missed Vice
President Wilson, who is in New York, Senator
Buckingham, who is detained by illness in Con-
necticUt. and Commissioner Smith. Of the Indian
Bureau, usual attendants at this church Hon.
Franklin Fairbanks, Of st. Johnsbury, Vt, late
Speaker Of the Vermont House Of Representa-
tives, was among the distinguished strangers
present.
DR.. Rankin, who was sick last Sunday was in
the pulpit and delivered sermon from Rom. vii:
p: 80 WTetched man that am, who shall deliver
me from the body Of this death?' and Cor. xK:57:
Thanks be TO God, which giveth US the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ" The object OF
the sermon was to hold up the Lord Jesus Christ
as man helper to a better nature and a better
lie. BY way Of introduction, the Doctor alluded
10 the reply Of one OF Socrates pupils to his in
unauOn that some parsonage mig ht arise to lead
men TO closer communion with God: 'tLet him
come. am ready to follow him II he will only
make me better" The desire to be made better
is the proof and test Of true manhood. No man
has right to claim God as his father who does
not want TO become like him. There is much to
ADMIRE IN human nature, sinful as it is. For eX-
ample the struggle TO excel, to exert an iufiu-
eLee; as lnstaneed by the rising country boy. But
nearly all selEmade men need 70 be made over
They are as great in their defects as in their ex
cellencies. The noblest ambition man can have
is the ambition to become better. And this is
why Jesus came and died upon the cross-to make
men moral herOes-cOnqueTOrs of self and Of sin
The speaker here compared a mere IustifyinR
faith with VitaliZing one; which is inward lie
putting on outward growth like tree; admitted
that o mere legal justifying faith would make
men selfish and selEcOnceited; claimed that
Christianity had no favored class. no aristOcracy
except the least, those who came to minister;
denied that Christianity is responsible for the in
eonSisiencies Of false professors, and urged upon
ms hearers to accept one who had already come
in the spirit Of that pupil Of Socrates who 9TH
eTWlse would rise up in Judgment TO condemn
them In the evening, the discourse was on the
third beatitude: blessed are the meek: for thew
shall inherit the earth

BEWARE OF HUME'.S STORE.
A BRANDY THIEF CAPTURED THIS


BRANDY THIEF CAPTURED THIS
TINE.
An Individual disposed to steal will invent
some process Of carrying out his bad intentions,
and the more novel it may be the better are the
prospects Of success. Only few days since an
account was given in TIE KEPUBLICAN Of the
manner in which the offices OF several physicians
we're visited, and the way in which the thieves
managed to capture cases of valuable instruments
however. as If there was another class operating
among the business men, but fortunately with
less success. They evidently made mistake in
the selection Of Louise, and failed to accomplish
the result hoped for, as the proprietor, having
received some experience from previous visits OF
a similar nature, was awake to their rascally in
tentiOns. and CheckmGted them in the outset. A
Jew days since young man, iGShlOuably dressed
and gentlemanly in appearance, entered the
large grocery establishment OF Thomas L. Hume
On Market Space, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, and made number OF inquiries regard
ing the prices Of different kinds of liquors. On
being answered he withdrew from the store with
out making any purchases, but thanking the
clerk Tor the information furnished. Saturday
last he returned. gave his name as Forbes, and
repeated his inquiries, and entered the wine
room, where several brands were sampled. His
actions were somewhat suspicious, and sufficient
TO warrant Mr. Hume in keeping a watch upon
his movements, and was subsequently rewarded
Tor his vigilance by witnessing him deposit a
bottle of the choicest brandy in his coat pocket.
He was permitted 70 finish the inspection but as
be was about departing from the store he was
confronted by Officer Duyall who had been sent
for in the meantime, who took him into custody
and escorted him to the Police Court He said
had been on spree for several days. But as
there is some doubt expressed as to the truth of
the statement a further investigation will be
made into the matter. Those desirOus of steal
ing, however, would be wise in avoiding Hume's
store, this is the sixth thief that has been cap
tUTed there.

Shad for Texas.

DEPUTY ommissioners Miller and Mason.
of the United States service, In charge OF
10000 shad from the Smithsonian Institute,
have arrived in our State to experiment in
stocking the waters of Texas with this de-
licieus fish. Twenty-Five thousand were
put in Clear creek, a beautiful tributary of
the Brazos, one mile east of Hampstead. A
quantity will be put in the Colorado. This
is an excellent enterprise. These fish null
tiply very fast in favorable waters.
Whether the Brazos will suit them remains
to be seen. They have been put where
they can get into it if they will. We hope
shad fishing here in the Brazos will be one
of the sports in which WacOites can indulge
in year or two. They are a fine fish for the
table. 1t is said the commissioners have
to take great pains to preserve the little
fellows, not more than an inch or SO in
length, changing the water often and keep
ing it of an even temperature. They are
brought in cans. We wish some OF the m
could be put in the Bosque. If they will
do we'll anywhere in the State we believe
they would in the Bosque. But ihow about
continue abundant in our streams we must
do away with seines and fish traps. We are
also afraid that our vOraciOus CARS will
gobble the fnny little strangers. Under
government auspices the luxury of the
shad has been successfully introduced in
California and several other States. Shad
fisheries may become an important item in
our State resources. John Hancock, men,
Der of Congress, it is said, claims some
credit for inducing the government to make
the trial in Texas. If 80, his mind was use-
