Camp Meetings.
East Livermore,


Sunday opened finely, with increased num-
bers on the ground. At 8 o'clock promise
meeting was held at the stand, which was a
season of great power, large numbers testifying
to the power of the "blood of Christ to
cleanse from all pollution and unrighteousness.
The preaching of the day and evening has been
plain, pungent, and very effective, the preach
ers all aiming at the same thing, the salvation
of the people. The number converted thus far
we have not learned, nor can we give any cor
rect estimate of the number that have professed
to enter the rest o. complete deliverance. In
the evening very interesting service was held
at the stand by the Kent's Hill praying band,
and large numbers went forward for prayers.
Fryeburg.
The meeting at Fryeburg broke up yesterday
morning. The closing services were Of an in
teresting nature, and the whole session was
productive of much spiritual good.

THE Carlist treasury appears to draw its
supplies from all portions of Europe. The
contest in behalf of Don Carlos has taken the
form of religious crusade, and the "Black
ternationals," as his many-nationed soldiers
are called, are supported by contributions
from all good Catholics. Rome furnishes a
portion of the funds, ireland much more, and
the decayed gentry of France, with whom
Catholicism is synonym of legitimacy, are
not behind hand in their contributions.
Those who have no money contribute blood,
and the Basque peasant, the Irish bog-trotter
and the French nobleman are found fighting
side by side for an alien cause and a foreign

a band Of desperadoes to seize regular officers
and imprison them without particle Of au-
thority? By their own lying testimony, these
white leaguers are the aggressors; and what
is true in this case is true in nine-tenths of
the outrages reported in the South to-day
outrages go numerous as to be reported by
every mail, and so cowardly and wanton as
to be shame to the states in which they are
committed-so plain and palpable that if in
flicted upon American citizens in foreign
land, war would result unless immediate rep
aration was made by the offending party.
We are well aware that the Democratic
press affect to sneer at these rumors of out
rage as inventions to affect the pending cleo
tions. These journals have always pursued
this course, but now they should remember
that these accounts of outrages come from
their political friends, and are so colored as
to relieve them as far as possible from being
accountable for the same. But with all the
falsehood they can invent, they stand accus-
ed by their own words and acts as the guilty
originators of an organized purpose to de-
prive the colored men of the South of their
political rights by intimidation and violence.

undertake this adventure from any extravagant
prepossession in favor of ga life on the ocean
wave." He has an immense idea Of the i'm
portance of cultivating commercial relations
with the populous empire beyond the golden
gate of the Pacific His utilitaran nature is
quickened by statistics of the wealth which lies
in the mines and granaries of the Pacific states
and the vast possibilities Of the great world be-
yoad He has exhibited lively sympathy with
every enterprise which has had for it's object an
increase of facilities for communication between
the East and the West. He is strongly dis
posed to give personal and official encourage
ment to every undertaking which promises to
stimulate the agricultural and mechanical in
dustries of the country by opening new markets
for their products, and to broaden the avenues
of immigration. The same spirit of thrift
which placed him in the front rank of coute M
porary statesmen, and in advance of the age,
when he sought to enhance the national pros
perity by the acquisition of one of the most
fertile islands in the tropics, prompts him to
look with eager satisfaction upon movement
which tends to enlarge the area of commerce
and furnish profitable occupation for American
shipwrights. He has illimitable faith in the
resources the progress and the manifest des-
tiny of the Republic. Her precious metals,
her teeming harvests her works of skill, are to
his mind so many active agencies in perfecting
the grand climax of civilization which is the
acme of human ambition.

The HOME WE LIVE IN.-About
the time of maturity we are pos
sessed of 165 bones muscles,
about 500 in number. The length
of the alimentary canal is about
thirty-two feet. The quantity of
blood in an adult averages thirty
pounds, or one-fifth of the entire
weight The heart is six inches in
length and four inches in diameter,
and beats seventy times per min
ute; 4,2OO times per hour; 100, 800
times per day; and at each beat,
two and half ounces of blood are
thrown out of it-656 pounds per
hour, or Z 3-4 tons per day. All
the blood in the body passes
through the heart in three minutes.
We breathe, on the average, 1900
times per hour. The average
weight of the brain of an adult
male is three pounds and eight
ounces; of a female, two pounds
and four ounces. Man is made
marvelously, and the proper study
of mankind is man.

MISSING THE BABY.-As the cars
were moving away from Terre
Haute the other day, pretty young
woman came from the ladies car,
and rushing into the smoking car,
frantically appealed to everybody to
stop the train. Catching sight of the
conductor, she exclaimed piteously,
"Mr. Conductor, do please stop the
train; I've left my baby" The train
was stopped, and the baby recovered,
amid the hearty cheers of the people
on the platform and the passengers;
and while the young mother laugh
ed and cried and hugged her little
one, she tried to explain how the ba-
by was such new one that she had
MT got used to it.

MOTHERS HOUSE, How man

MOTHERS HOUSE, How many
happy thoughts are called up by
those two beautiful words. Is there,
can there be any place so full of
pleasant places, beneath the waving
palms of sunny isles, or in the chill
ing shadows of icy mountains. Our
heart turns with unchangeable love
and longing to the dear old house
which sheltered us in childhood.
Kind friends may beckon us to
newer scenes, and loving hearts may
bind us fast to pleasant homes, but
we are not satisfied with them alone,
for there is one place more fair and
lovely than them all, and that is the
beloved /" Mothers House,"
1t may be old and ricketty to the
eyes of the stranger. The windows
may have been broken and patched,
long ago, and the floor worn through
and mended with pieces of tin, but it
is still mothers house, from which
we looked out at life with hearts full
of hope, building wonderful castles
in cloudland which faded long ago;
but thanks to the good Father, moth
er's house is left US still, and weary
with the busy turmoil of life, weary
of ourselves, we turn our steps tow
ard the dear house of rest, and at its
Threshold lay our burdens down.
Here we have watched life come
and go. Here we have folded still
cold hands, over hearts as still, that
once beat full of love for us. Here
we have welcomed brothers and sis
ters into life, watched for the first
lisping from baby lips, guided the
tottering baby feet from helplessness
to manhood, and here we have
watched with aching hearts, to see
the dear ones turn from the home
nest into world which has proved
but a snare and a temptation to
many wandering feet. And here we
gather strength to take up our lives
again and go on patiently unto the
end. But though the world calls US
and we may find friends good and
true, we turn to the dear old home,
when troubles come, for help and
comfort. God grant that for us all
there may long remain a mothers

THE GREELEY SIsTERs.-A New
York correspondent writes: 1t is now
nearly two years since the death of
Mr.. Horace Greeley, and this season,
for the first time since that event,
his daughters, Ida and Gabrielle, oc-
. casionally make there appearance in
public. Gabrielle is still very young,
probably not more than eighteen,
but has grown during her years OF
seclusion into a tall and very beau
tiful girl. Both have exquisite COM
plexions, loving eyes, ripe, scarlet
lips, and the sweet, child like ex-
preston which distinguished their
father. Ida is most like her father,
however, in appearance, and Gabri-
ellie like her mother. Evidently the
most devoted affection subsists be-
tween the two girls. Ida the elder,
looks after her sister lovingly, and
says: "Hasn't she grown tall and
pretty?" And Gabrielle remarks:
" Don't you think I begin to look
more like Ida" Their manners are
very charming, perfectly simple,
easy and unaffected, yet with fine
air of good breeding, and even dis
tinction, of which they are apparent
ly quite unaware. What their future
will be it is impossible to foretell,
