Female Prayer Meetings.

For some time past there has been
new method adopted in the country dis
tricls in Ohio, for the benefit Of the TEN.
perance agitation and the suppression of
the liquor traffic, which is of highly
original character, to say the least 1t
consists OF organizing, under the direc.
ton Of the pastors of the churches, the
female members Of the same, and Undue
iny them to proceed in \ body to such
places as may be pointed out. where
king Alcohol regns, and has an abiding
place These saloons, bar.rooms or
stores they enter, and forthwith organ.
ize a prayer. meeting. when the most de.
yout prayers are made for the suppress.
sion of intemperancc and for the closing
up ot all sinks Of inquty where the ar.
dent can be purchased. II they can not
force admission into the saloons they or.
ganizc the prayer meeting in front Of
them on the streets. The saloon keep.
ers and the devotces Of drink, as may be
naturally supposed, are taken aback by
this sudden conversion Ot their rooms
into female prayer-meetings. and some
OF them have submitted to the pressure"
und abandoned the traffic. The women
engaged in it doubtless believe that they
are rendering great service to the cause
of morality and temperance, and on the
surface it may so appear. But they are
not They injure by such means rather
than benefit the cause. That which re.
auircs a mob to enforce it for these 70
male prayer meetings arc really just that
and nothing moroccan not long live.
The pressure Of excitement which gave
birth to the mob. will soon suhside. and
then will come a reaction that will be far
worse than the original cause which led
to the mob II the laws Of Ohio are not
adequate to the suppression OF the liquor
traffic, such suppression can not be had
through the ill.resulated enthusiasm Of
female prayer-meetugs in saloons.- Gin.

Another Bloody Chapter One Nan
Killed and Another Wounded-A
Woman Shot Through the
Arm.

From passengers who Caunc down on
the TT. Smith train last evening we learn
of another bloody affair in Pope county.
1t Itappenrs that an old feud existed be-
tween an old man named McCallister and
three men named Mccoy, Brookout aud
Osborne. The nature Of it VIC did not
learn. The three latter had stated pub.
licly that if old man McCallistcr made
certain remarks about them they would
kill him. 1t seems that he did so, or at
least said something at which they saw
cause to get offended. After dark on
Wednesday night the three men entered
the residence of Mr.. McCallister, situated
near Dover. and commenced firing. Mrs
McCallister was shot through the right
arm, which was afterward amputated by
DR.. Scott. Mccoy shot old man Mccall.
lister, killing him. and started towards
him for the purpose OF cutting his throat.
lie was prevented from carrying out his
object by two sons Of MeCallister, aged
thirteen and fifteen respectively, who
each took q chair and beat him of. 4
still older son about this time obtained .
shot gun and fred on the intrudcrs,
wcundng Osborne in the neck The
parties then left.
Mccoy was arrested. and the officers

Curious Ansodoss Of Cushing aad choats.

legal "reminiscences An intimate friend
Of Webster, Edward Everett and Rufus
Choate, and . law partner OF Caleb Cush
ing. he had rare opportunity OF collect
ing anecdotes and details that are very
interesting now. While connected with
Gushing, time came when those two II
tans, Cushing and CAoate, we're on oppo
site sides in an important sait On the
day when this case was called the Court
room was crowded. A battle between
such men was novelty, even in that
epoch Of brains. TO the amazement of
Judge, jury and spectators, both Cushing
and Choate were somewhat anxious for q
:. continuance lin other words, for a
pos,pone,nent Of trial As usual thing
both gentlemen were always anxious to
force a trial, being in state OF "chronic
preparation. as Webster once said in
speaking of Choate. In going out Of
court says Mr.. Gerrieh, l met Choste
and said .How is it that YOU were ready
for continuance today 1t is little
odd Of you.
Choats replied: "Oh. am little
pressed with business, and can afford 10
let this case stand over.
Said /: "Choate. this is sheer non
sense. Ill tell you what the matter Is.
You are afraid Of Gushing "
$50 am, was the reply; "and am
not ashamed to own it, either.
"Well, we'll, said !, " this is pretty
good. The idea Of Rufus Choate being
frightened What on earth do you fear
in Gushing ?"
"Mr Gerrish, will tell you am
afraid Of his overwhelming knowledge of
the law"
In the afternoon Gushing came into the
Office. went for him at once. "Caleb,
what was the matter to day7 Why don't
you insist ou trying that oase2"
"Oh" he replied, "lhe weather is
warm, and we have much TO attend TO,
and ! didn't care to hurry matters y
Now, Gushing, be honest; were you
not little afraid of Choate?"
"Wcll, Gerrish. to be candid about it,
l was. Are you satisfied now3"
then inquired what be feared Choate
for. hE AlH
"Do you think said /, that he
knows any more law than you ~
"No, sir, don't" was the answer,
"but Imnfraid Of the rascars influence
with n jury, right or wrong.
And there it was. The two men had
been so often associated that each knew
the others strong points and felt timd.

A Model Obituary.

"A dlScOnSOlate editor thus be-
means his spouse:
Thus my wife died. Nc more
will those loving hands pull off my
boots and part my back hair, asonly
a true wife can. Nor will those
willing feet replenish the coal-hod
or WATERFALL. No more will she
arise, amid the tempestuOus storms
Of winter, and HE away to make
the fire, without disturbing the
slumbers of the man who dotted on
her so ~artlessly. Her memory is
embalmed upon my heart of hearts.
l wanted to embalm her body, but
/ found / could embalm her memory
cheaper.
IprOcured of Eli Midget, a neigh
Dor of mine, a very pretty grave
stone. His wife was consumptive,
and he kept it on hand for several
years, in anticipation of her death.
But she rallied last spring, and his
hopes were blasted. Never shall /
forget the poor mans grief when 1
asked him to part with it.
"Take it, Skinner, and may you
never know what it is to have your
soul disappointed as mine has beenw
and he burst into a flood of tears.
His spirit was, indeed, utterly
broken,

graved upon the tombstone:
''TO the memory of Tabitha, wife

two flights of stairs. Knock hard.

shall miss thee. Job printing. Job

Thus did my lacerated spirit cry
OFT i'm agony, ever as Rachel weep
ing for her children. But one ray of
light penetrated the despair of my
soul-the undertaken took his pay
in job printing, and the sexton owed
me a little account / should not

ways of Providence and vicinity?

Spurgeon on Rituxlism.

In his last communication to the
Chistian at Work, Mr.. Sturgeon
says: "The wonderful progress
made in England by the High
Church movement shows that earn
estness Is power. The Ritualists
believe something, and that fact
has given them influence. To me
their distinctive creed Is intOlerable
nonsense, and their proceeding are
childish foolery; but they have
dared to go against the mOband have
almost turned that mObrOundin their
favor. Bravely did they battle;
let us say it to their honor. When
their churches BECAME the scenes of
-iOt and disorder, and there was
raised the terrible howl of mo
Popery," by the lower orders they
boldly confronted it. They went
against the whole current of what
was thought to be the deep-seated
feeling of England ia favor of Prot
estantism, and they had scarcely a
bishop to patrOnize them, and
but few loaves and fishes of patron
age. Yet they increased from a
mere handful to become certainly
the most vital and dominant party
in the Church of England ; and, to
our intense surprise and horror,
they have brought people to receive
again the Popery which we thought
dead and buried. If anybody
had told me twenty years ago that
the Witch of Endor would become
Queen of England, I should as soon
have believed it, as that we should
have seen such a High Church de-
velopment; but the fact is, the men
were earnest and decided, and held
what they belived most firmly, and
did not hesitate to push their cause. !
The age, therefore, goes to be i'm
pressed; it will receive what is
taught by Jealous men, whether it
be truth or falsehOod."

Wood Wanted"-Discovery Of Q
Deep-Laid and Frightful Plot.
From the Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat

From the Sedaiia mol Democrat,l
To show how low and degraded
country journalism has become We
will cite this fact Thirty years ago
all these newspaper fiends went into
cahoot, and started papers for the
simple purpose of laying up enor-
nous amounts of wood. For this
purpose every country paper put
this notice at the head of its local
column:
WOOD WANTED.-We will take
wood for subscription for this paper
Bring on your wOod"
Yes, "bring on your wood" Mark
that!
Now, what are these rascals do
ing?-
Why, they have been running
newspapers for wood until they have
got all the wood in the country in
their own hands. And now wood
Is up-they've made a corner in
it.
"But," the reader will ask, where
is their market? What good will 1t
do them?
Poor, ignorant soul! Wen tell
you. After these country editors
have got all the wood in the coun-
try into their own hands, what do
they do? Why they go to work,
tooth and toe nail, and advocate
They know perfectly
well, just as soon as cremation be-
comes a part of American politics,
every man will be trying it on his
mOther-in-law and wife's relations.
And wood will go up to 500 cord!
one of these fiends will have
this advertisement on one whole
side of their paper:
To CREMATIONISTS.
''Ten million cords of the best
hickory, old and dry, just the thing
burning your dear ones in the
quickest time possible. Old ex-
changes, for kindling, thrown in

Then these country editors will
be rolling in wealth, instead of glue
and mOlasses, and they wouldn't no
more think of exchanging with you

All, this is a deep-laid plot!
