live at home the whole year round, and
burn gas light in every room, and all

and opens it, ne enters, no matter who
is there or what is being done, and
thunders down the cellar stairs with
his lantern lighted. He goes to the
gas meter in the cellar, opens the

SOMETHING WORTH THINKING ABOUT.
|-"Take," said Henry Ward Beecher,
''any community Of two or three thou
sand people. They will build church
holding fve hundred people. aud it
will accommodate oil that want to go
to it, because in the mair it falls into
the habit Of taking the best families.
Average the churches of New York
and Brooklyn, and I think it can be
shown that the aristocratio or prosper
Gus element takes possession Of the
churches, and that the great needy
classes, or the poor, if they GO to them
at all, do not go to them as home,
because the churches do not satisfy
their wants mud cravings. The churches
are not as democratic as they are in Eu-
rope. They are. largely, institutions
for the mutual insurance of prosper
Gus families. Perhaps here is the
secret Of what the pulpit frequently
lamenta as the feeble influence of the
church upon the world, especially with
regard to the mitigation of it's crimes
aud follies, nnd it naturally follows
that very much OF the spirit Of hete-
rodo1y may be traceable to the desire
and ambition of earnest, thoughtful
men to find channels through which
tho instrumentalities of Christianity
may be exerted for greater benefit to
humanity.-BdNimore American.

The UNTUroRED NEGRO IN HIS Ma.
TIVE WILDs.-The whole of my expe-
rience in Central Africa says that the
negroes, not yet spoiled by contact
with the slave.trade, are distinguished
for friendliness and good, sound sense.
Some can be guilty OF great wicked
ness, and seem to think little about it;
others perform actions as 1nmistaka-
bly, good with no great self-com-
placency; and If one catalogued all
the good deeds or all the bad ones he
came across. he might think the men
extremely good or extremely bad, in
stead of calling them, like ourselves,
curious compounds of good and evil
In one point. they are remarkable
they are honest. Even among the
cannibal Manyuerna, slave. trader at
Bnmbare and I had to send our goats
and fowls up to the Nanyuema village,
to prevent their being stolen by nv
friends own slaves. Another wide
spread trait of character is a trusting
disposition. The Central African
tribes are the antipodes to some OF the
North American Indians. and very un-
like many of their own countrymsn
who have come into contact with
Mohammedans and Portuguese and
Dutch Christians. They at once per-
ceive the superiority of the strangers
in power of mischief, and readily
listen to and ponder over friendly ad.
vice. After the cruel massacre of
Nyangue-whioh unfortunately wit
nessed-fonrteen chiefs, whose vii
lagos bad been destroyed and many of
them killed. fled to my house and
begged me to make peace for them
with the Arabs. and then come over to
their side OF the river Lualaba, divide
their country anew and point out
where each should build new village
and cultivate other plantations. The
peace was easily made, for the Arabs
had no excuse for their senseiess mur.
ders, and each blamed tho others for
the guilt.-Dr. Lirinysioae's Letter to
James Gordon Bennett.

CHINESE FUNERAL IN CHICAGO. -

Was sprinkled over with these papers.
and then covered with white cloth
and red one. More papers were
scattered over these; after which the
lid was put on and screwed down. The
undertaken and his assistants then
lifted the cofiu from its trestles and
changed It's position from foot to head
three times. the audience looking on
with great solemuity. Then the bed
ding last used by the deceased was
rolled up and tied. and fve potatoes
ranged along the top OF it.. the middle
one being stuck full of tapers. Alter
several holes had been burnt in this
bedding, an expressman took charge
OF it and preceded the procession to

THE IRON TRADE.-The Mauch
Chunk Democrat, speaking Of the iron
trade. says there is no use Disgusting the
fact that the iron business is not improv-

than it was six months ago. Of the

only 34S are in blast, while 227 are out

We believe ourselves to be safely within
the limits of the truth, when we say
that not nine out of every ten manutac-
turing institutions in the Lehigh Valley
are working with anything like a profit
while many are barely making ends meet
and would close down altogether, but
only out of consideration to their en-
ployees. A cheerful aspect tor the win

A new emigration to the United

been promised these dvant cOuraerS for
the purpose Of inspecting the coast OF
Alaska. The claim that by reason OF
climatic changes their native home is no
longer suitable for residence; that 1t
has become too barren to offer the usual
opportunities of deriving a comfortable
living. and that starvation is prevented
only by securing from other lands the
bare necessariss Of life Alaska, they
feel assured is sufficiently cool. 1T is
preferred to Canada, where a strong in
Huence is now endeavoring to attract
them. They promise to work the fish
cries, supply the Pacific States with
lumber, build ships as in former times
at home, raise cattle and other com
modities, and lastly furnish through
their children body of sailors for the
Pacific Coast trade. They are poor but
determined, and wish, it the Govern
ment will grant them the necessary as
sistance, to inaugurate the emigration at

A csrnmittee of the Illinois Confer
ence Of the methodist Episcopal Church
has reported in favor of the taxation Of
church property. They argue in their
report that the Constitution forbids the
State to aid any religious denomination,
and that laws which exempt 1882, 600,
900 worth of church property from taxa
ton violate the letter and spirit of the
Constitution. The committee add that
the taxation Of church property would
be favorable to the interests ct religion
by showing that the separation between
church and State is complete.

The Result

AT last election is over and the re suit, so
far at least as the county is concerned def
nately known. OF course now we can look
over the ground ard see where great
many ifs might: t:have been put in. However,
of this we have nothing to say; what we
know is that our entire ticket is defeated.
For Assembly the majority for Mr.. VIM
mer, regular Democratic candidate is
very small being only 234, while the Demo-
cratic State ticket receives 663 majority.
The vote testifes to Mr. Oyster, the Repub-
lean nominees popularity, and the ''if''
that defeated him we believe to be United
States Senatorship; and nothing else
While we are rot satisfied altogether with
the turn things have taken yet we feel dis
posed to acquietc, TO the fiat ofpublic judg'
ment, without blaming anyone for the
consequences.
As to the Sheriffality the result is as we
expected; Mr.. Scull, Independent Dem
crat of st. Mary's comes out victorious
over Mr.. Horton independent by 96 maj or
ity, while Mr.. Hays, regular Democratic
candidate defeats Mr.. Wensel regular Re-
publican candidate By a majority Of 6F,
Next week we will give the official table for
the county.

CAssIUs NJ. CLAY has written let
ter about the proposed removal of the
national capital. He thinks Washing
ton is of ali places the least suited to
the purpose, aud favors o removal for
the seat Of Government to the Mis-
sissippi Valley. "Let the national
capital' che says" be placed where the
cries of the oppressed South will reach
the ears of our rulers. Let self-govern-
ment and fraternity be restored to all,
white and black. Let the Union be
placed upon the constitutional basis Of
our fathers. Let the republic expand
into the whole continent and the adjac
ent isle Of the sea, and let liberty law,
and fraternity make our Union eternal"

eagle would have made this outburst
