Abortlvc Religious Emo motions.

Men, oftener women. may have great
warmth OF feeling,-love of God, trust in
God, reverence for God, delight in
God, prayer to God, thought of GodI-
which yet has no influence on the
life. 1t bends thei knees, keeps Sunday
idle, crowds the Westinghouse, makes a
market. place for religious books at home,
to mingle with other finery, where on the
same table you shall see ''puns, powders,
patches, Bibles, billetdoux." 1t never
opens the purse toward the poor, nor
the capitalists money to building reason.
able tenements for them. When men
seek religion as means of pleasure, to
cultivate emotions OF trust and love of
God for their own selfish delight, it be-
comes as fatal to them as the gaming
house, the drinking shop, or the brothel.
There is a literature which feeds this mode
of action. There are other libraries be-
sides that of Don Quixote which ought
to go the same way as his went. The
very inquisltion itself was built up and is
sustained by men who riot in mere volup'
tuousness Of religious emotion, and stop
there. These are the dangers OF q wrong
cultivation of the feelings.-Iheod0re

The NTIssissippi Flood.

NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-The follow
ing dispatch shows that the flood in the
Onachits Valley has not abated, but is
increasing:
"MoNRoE, April 24-6 P. Mt is i'm.
possible to give an idea Of the extent of
the overflow here. The water is higher
than ever known before. The town is
an island two and a half miles long by a
hall mile wide, from which there is no
exit except by boats or swimming. From
the crossing of the railroad and Desard
street back is one wide sea. Boats come
and go from Oakleys. People living in
the rear have been driven in. All the va
cant houses have been taken, and several
families are living in the Court House.
Business is almost completely suspended,
but the houses are open. Fully 1000
people have not rations for three days,
nor money to buy with. Stock of every
description gathered in town are starving.
On Desard Island almost all the habita-
tions are under water"
MONROE, La, April 26.--River rose
one quarter of an inch last night, and the
back water one inch and a half, Wash
ington street is overf1owed to within three
blocks of the river. River on q stand to-
day; Weather fair and warm. No intelli-
gence from above or below. The rail-
road companies have surrendered the
mail contract between here and Vicks-
burg, the telegraph now is the only source

Persecution of New Ideas.

Harvey, who first discovered the cir
culation OF the blood, was styled Vaga-
bond or quack, and prosecuted through
lie.
Paracelsus introduced antimony as a
valuable medicine, he was prosecuted for
the innovation, and the French Parlia-
ment passed an act making it penal Of
fence to prescribe it; whereas 1t is now
one of the most important medicines In
daily use.
The Jesuites of Peru introduced into
Protestant England the Peruvian bark,
INVALUABLE medicine0 but being remedy
used by Jesuits, the Protestant Engliah
at once rejected the drug as the invention
of the devil.
In 1903, DIR. Greenult discovered the
curative power of cantharides in dropsy.
AS soon as his course began to be noised,
he was committed to Newgate by warrant
of the President of the College of
Physicians for prescribing cantharides in
ternally.
Lady Montague first introduced into
England small pox incubation, having
seen its success in Turkey in greatly miti-
eating that terrible disease. The Faculty
all rose in arms against its introduction,
foretelling the most disastrous consequen-
ces; yet it was in few years generally
adopted by the most eminent members of
the profession.
Jenner, who introduced the still greater
discovery of vaccination, was treated
with ridicule and contempt, persecuted,
contemned, prosecuted and oppressed by
the Royal College OF Physicians; yet he
subsequently obtained the sanction Of the
great majority of the Faculty.

ArArrERs IN sTATU QUO

LITTLE Rock, April 25.-Thero has
been little change in the situation today.
Tho truce between both parties was put
an. end to to day. Yesterday Baxter,
through his representa- made propo-
sitions to Brooks TO leave the final deter
mination of the question between them to
a competent tribunal, and in the mean
time both forces should be retired, except
body guard for each. These proposals
Mr.. Brooks last night refused to accede to,
whereupon all negotiations were ended,
and matters remain now where they did
ono week ago, except that Baxter has
convened the Legislature, the meeting OF
which body Brooks Is opposed to. Gen.
T. J. Churchill was today assigned to the
command OF the middle division of Gov.
Baxter's forces, and Brigadier General
Ira Mel. Barton was promoted to be q
Major General and assigned command
of the eastern division. Brigadier General
w. D. Blosher was assigned immediate
command of the forces on duty in Little
Rock. Neither party has dismissed any
forces during the past twenty-tour hours.
The Federal troops are stationed at the
Metropolitan, City Hall, and the corner of
Main and Fourth streets, with two pieces
of artillery at the intersection of Louis
lana and Second streets. Governor Bax-
ter has increased his force one or two
companies.
Secretary OF State johnson has not yet
received any reply to his communicate
to Brooks ordering him out of office.
at the State House preparations are
still going on to resist an attack.
A man named Charley White commit
ted suicide by taking an over dose OF NOR

day declared martial law in Jefferson
county, and took possession of the Court
House at that place. Il

CrematIon.

The Cremation Society of New York
seem to mean business, and to be organic.
ing for practical operations on a small
se,le. We notice by the Times of Satur-
day that rules and regulations have been
sdopted. Section 9th of these rules pro-
yiies as follows:
Fyfh-The strictest measures shall be
siopted TO prevent the possibility OF the
cremation of any persons who have come
m their death by other than natural
csrses. and it is hoped that the proper
appliances may be arranged so that, IN
csses. where there is any suspicion what
ever OF poisoning, or other foul play,
careful post mortem shall be made.
One Of the speakers at the meeting OF
Friday night said that the most import
ant sanitary point connected with the
question was that cholera, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, and yellow fever could
never be entirely destroyed unless by
fire. He also said that
Pomp and show would never be given

said, and he did not expect it. He viewed
the whole matter of cremation from a
sentimental standpoint, and desired that
the ceremony should be made beautiful.
The great strength of cremation lays IN
it's sentimental position. BE alluded TO
the ashes OF the heart of Richard l., OF
England, which were preserved in small
glass jar in the museum of the Town Hall
Of Rouen, France, and said that no more
haautiful and p7thetic VaY of DreSerVa-
ton could have been adopted.

As to the other side of the currency
question-the anti.increase side-we pre-
sumo that it will not lack for champions
should the National finances really be-
come the issue. We presume that those
who have been spoken of as candidates
in the Republican ranks, such men as Mr..
ATKINSON, Gen. KELLEY, and Rev. Mr..
PoMERoY, would not antagonize the ad-
on such an issue, even if
such leading men as MORTON and LOGAN
do lead off in an attempt to organize an
opposition. Such an issue, like the bum
BILE bee, will be biggest at its birth, and
will grow gradually less as the weeks roll
on. Mr.. DAVIS can afford to run on the
platform of more currency, as he is al
ready committed to it, but those who are
not thus committed will think twice, if
not oItener, before stepping on to that
plank.

WASHINGTON.
MORE DEyE1oPEMENTs.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Com
mittee on Ways and Means today ex-
amined Simon Herman, who testified that
he was general auctioneer and commission
merchant in New York. During his exam.
ination by Representative Beck, he said
that in April 1872, he was indicted in
this court for alleged selling of liquor, on
which taxes had not been paid, although
perfectly innocent of the charge he paid
several sums of money to have the case
dismissed: Hearing OF the Indictment he
went to the court and gave bail. a
Goodrich Fay soon came to him and said
he could have been dismissed by pay
ment of g, 900, which money was to be
divided between Fay and Sanborn. he,
also, paid 81 900 to Judge Davis, at that
time District Attorney and to Foster OF
the Committee The witness said he never
met Sanborn on the subject, his conYer-
sation was with Fay alone, and he paid
the $4,000 demanded to get rid OF the
scandal, although he was entirely inno-
cent OF the charge. In answer to Davis
of the COMMITTEES, the witness said the
checks were given on the same day, the
understanding being that this was all one
and in accordance with in
from Washington he spoke to
Judge Davis on the subject, who said to
the witness, "you had better let the mat
ter rest" He did not tell Judge Davis
that he had given 1900 to other parties.
When he went out OF Fay's office he met
Dekoy, assistant District Attorney, who
said he had seen Judge Benedict or Benet
and the case had been dismissed in accor-
dance with orders from Washington. The
witness then gave checks to Judge Davis.
A NEW FINANCE BILL TO BE TRIED ON.
The Senate Finance Committee will
this week consider the House finance bill.
It is thought by many conservative men
that bill may be framed acceptable to
The Senate combining the feature of re-
demption proposed in that bill with the
right to issue additional bank notes on the
condition that certain proportion OF the
legal tender notes shall be withdrawn at
The same time: Many are oi the opinion
that il such bill shall be reported from
The Senate Committee with a provision

Senate and House and receive the ap-
oroval of the President.
REIIRF NOT AVAILABLE.
Although Congress passed the bill for
he relief of the sufferers by the over flow
IN the Lower Mississippi, it has been
ound that no supplies can be spared
rom the various military stations in that
'egion, therefore the Secretary OF War,
after private conference with the Presi-
lent, directed the Commissary Subsist-
snce TO purchase 800, 900 rations Of meat,
1our, beans and rice, and to carry the
aw into effect, he asks an appropriation

Tho Impending Revolution I'm HaytI

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Advices
have been received here from Port.au-
Prince, Hsyti, to the 18th of April. At that
time Gen Dominique was expected hourly
to arrive with troops from the southern
part OF the island. Under the prevailing
system the Legislative Chambers elect
the next President. The presence of the
military under Dominique was expected
to provoke a contest between them and
the adherents of tho other candidates for
the presidency. The; foreigners of Port
au.Pr1nce were removing their valuables
to the different consular residences for
safety, and numbers OF them were leaving
the island. Every appearance indicated
probable bloodshed. The American Min
lister, Hon. F. d. Bassett, was actively en-
gagged in looking after the interests of the
resident Americans. A number of i'm.
-proYements which had been in progress
were summarily stopped, among these
works being one for q supply of water
from a mountain reservoir, the superin-
tendent Of which was Henry F. Swentzel,
of Philadelphia. Business was entirely
prostrated.
The rainy season has TINS far proved
very unhealthy, the mortality among the
natives from fever being very large.
