snuff color; he had q fiat face, with great
width, indicative of strong perceptions, be-
tween the eyes, which are of sweet and
melting blue, and his ears were like the ears
of horse.
At the German Catholic Convention, held
in the city Of Rochester last week, the bishop
of that place made an absurd and dangerous
attack on the public school system of the
country declaring it to be Protestant sys-
TEN, and melting the Catholics against it.
The Cincinnati Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals employs mounted
policeman to act as a patrol on the leading
city avenues, TO see that there is no cruelty
to animals, and especially to look after the
horses. The livery stable keepers are ex-
pected to cooperate in the payment of ex-
penses. In case Of accident to vehicles it is
the business of this policeman, who is an old
cavalryman, to render the neediul assistance.
The reckless driving and misconduct of many
parties upon the roads and streets have de-
tered many from riding out for fear OF injury,
but now there is some hope that the special
attention given to it will make the highway
safe for decent and respectable citizens.
The act of James Lick of San Francisco,
deciding the whole Of his property to the pub
lie excites much comment. He donates
100000 to the construction of the largest
and best telescope in the world for the OBJ
servatory at Lake Tahoe, S420, 900 for public
monuments, $4,000 for public baths in San
Francisco 100000 for the Old Ladies Home,
$40, 900 to the Society for the Protection Re-
lief Society," $4,000 to the Mechanics
Library, 900 to the Protestant Orphan
Asylum, $50, 900 to the city of San Jose for
an orphan asylum, $50. 900 for the erection
of bronze monument to the author Of "The
Star Spangled Banner in Golden Gate Park
$500, 900 for the endowment of a school of
mechanical arts in California, and the residue
in excess of $l,7S0,OO0 to the Pioneers
Society. He makes ample provision for his

Did it ever occur to the public, asks Chi
cago paper that women are getting entirely
too healthy? Its amazing what little lee
turing and ridicule, and consequent exercise
and sensible clothing have accomplished. The
danger now is that the women will become so
entirely robust, and live to such astonishing
ages, that they will gradually drive puny men
out of existence. Go through any of the
streets of Chicago and look at the faces and
figures of the two sexes. Observe the sharp,
thin visages, the spindling limbs, and the
dyspeptic countenances of threefourths of
the men. They seem to have yearning de-
sire to lean up against something and think,
and would, were they not driven by the de-
mands of business to drag themselves on The
women, on the contrary, are the pictures Of
health and contentment. They have not yet
thought to scold and caution their husbands
and sweethearts against Iuinous style of
living but the danger of a dearth of men will
soon excite the fair sex to bold words upon
the subject.

REUNION OF THE ABOLITIONISTS,


The reunion of the old.time Abolitionsts
was held in Chicago Monday, and the attend
ance was quite large, including representa-
tives from all parts Of the country. Governor
J. T Beverage Of Illinois delivered an ad-
dress Of welcome; briefbut eloquent tribute
to the heroism displayed ia the old abolition
days, when, he said, the underground railroad
was surveyed by Owen Lovejoy, chartered by
moral convictions, engineered by charity,
freighted not with commerce, but with down.
trodden humanity. The train ran on amid
the denunciations of the North and curses OF
the South, through divided churches and dis
rupted political organizations and no one sup
posed it could transport those 4, 900, 900 slaves
to freedom. Yet it was an instrument in the
hands of God for the fulflment of that pur-
pose. To-day, the fathers among the Adolf
tionists, who have gone to their reward, look
down from their high abode upon country
all free, upon people all equal before the
law. In the name of all the patriotic people
OF Illinois and Chicago, he welcomed the rep
resentatives of the old-time Abolitionists in a
most glowing peroration. The "Song of the
Abolitionists," by William Lloyd Garrison,
was then sung, after which. an address was
delivered by Mr.. Eastman. Letters were
read from various absentees, including
Charles F. Adams and William l.. Garrison.
In the evening, letters we're read from Elzur
Wright. Wendell Phillips and others, and an
Grafton delivered by DR.. J. Blanchard.

NOTHINGISM.


The curse of some sections Of the world is
'isms." Many portions of the old world and
some sections of our own country, are literally
overrun by legions of "ologies" and "isms." J"
This is not the case in our section. Our peo.
pie are not all of one mind; but no effort is
made to propagate dangerous errors. The sin
of our people is an Indifferent state of mind,
with respect to things which pertain to relig-
ion. This may appropriately be called
"nothingism." Like one of old, they care for
none of these things. Religion, neither in
theory or practice, gives them any concern.
They never trouble themselves about the spir-
itual condition of their own souls or the souls
Of any one else.
Those who are in this Indifferent state Of
mind should wake up from their spiritual
slumbers. They should remember that to
treat a fellow mortal with Indifference is ex-
ceedingly provoking. To treat God with in
difference can not be less provoking. Our
Saviour says that all who are not for him are
against him. In morals, as in the physical
world, there is no such thing as stand still
point. We cannot be safely in an indifferent
state. If we are doing no good, we are doing
some harm. If we are not Oh our way to
heaven we are on the road to destruction.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

POUNDED BY HORACE GREELEY.
IN the recent elections the people have declared
I in favor Of honesty in politics and indepen-
dence in journalism. The TRIBUNE, which
years ago declared that it was not and never more
would be party organ, claims the verdict, as the
popular vindicaton Of its course, and recognizes
in the result the voice of the people for reform and
integrity in government, for candor and indepen-
dence among newspapers During the campaign
which has Just closed the TRIBUNE has fully
maintained its right to the title of the "Leading
American Newspaper" This position it has
earned and retains for the following among other
reasons:
It publishes all the news, earlier, more fully,
and more intelligently than any other paper.
1t insists on peace throughout the whole coun-
try, the right Of local self-government, and the
protection OF all classes in the exercise Of their
just and legal rights.
It advocates confidence and good feeling be-
and abiding reconciliation.
1t maintains fairness and candor toward all pub
lie men and questions, and dignity and courtesy
toward associates and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports, discussions
and discoveries to degree Of fullness and accu-
racy never before attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or more columns OF the
most carefully prepared agricultural matter du-
ring the year, much more in the aggregate than
the entire contents of any other agricultural pub
lcation, and the whole forming department OF
which an eminent agricultural editor says: ut
has done more to make good farmers than any
other influence which ever existed"
It has published series Of scientific and litera-
ry extras, which have met wider sal and more
emphatic popular approval than any similar pub
lcation of the kind.

"DUMB DEVIL

Luke, Xl II.
During the time that the Saviour taber-
nacled upon earth, God manifest in the
flesh, Satan was, for wise and holy purposes,
granted very great power over the bodies as
we'll as the souls of men, Men were, in va
rious ways, bodily afflicted by Satan. Some
were blind, Others were raving maniacs, and
some were the subjects of severe and painful
diseases. The person brought to our notice
by the passage of Scripture referred to had a
"dumb devil" Dumbness, as natural de-
feet, is always accompanied with deafness.
Hearing, iu the order of nature, precedes speak
ing. Whether the individual spoken Of was
born deaf or not, we are not informed. All
we know about him is that the devil which
had taken possession of his body was dumb.
For various reasons, as said before, Satan
was at the time our Saviour was upon earth,
permitted to exercise extraordinary power
over men. One reason that God had in view
in giving loose rein to Satan was to afford
an opportunity to the Saviour to show his
power to crush the head of the serpent. We
are not, however, to conclude that at present
Satan in no way exercises his malicious hate
upon the bodies of men.
The human family are still operated upon,
both in their bodies and minds, by Satan.
No doubt many are prostrated upon beds of
sickness in some way or other by Satan. That
man, who, in bad cause, and for wicked
purposes, exposes himself and thus brings
upon himself disease, may with propriety be
said to be tormented by Satan. The man who
gulps down draught after draught of intoxi-
eating liquor until his brain is added, the
digestive powers of his stomach destroyed and
his nervous system shattered and broken, is
under the control of Satan. He has, in the
Scripture sense of the phrase, devil.
There are multitudes of professed Christians
who have "dumb devil" That Christian
who never goes to God, and, as friend to
friend, talks over his trials and difficulties, has
a dumb devil" Thus are scores of complain
ing Christians who are not praying Christians.
These have "dumb devil" There are not
a few professed Christians who can talk flu
emily upon almost any subject but religion.
They meet in squads in the church-yard on
Sabbath morning, or at the corner Of the
streets and discuss the secular topics of the
day, but are esilent respecting the progress OF
true religion in the hearts of men. They
never ask how the vine hourishes. These
have "dumb devil" Many are eloquent
advocates of almost every cause but the cause
of Jesus. These have "dumb devil" By
them no one is advised, no one counseled, no
one rebuked, for sin, no one encouraged in
we'll doing. The dumb devil closes their
mouths upon all such subjects A word 6tly
spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of
silver.
Too many think that all the praying and all
the talking for Jesus must be done by the
ministers. This is grand mistake. Every
one must pray for himself and every truly
converted man will have something good to
say for Jesus, and something good to say about
Jesus.
