The FACT that We said in our Episc

The FACT that We said in our Episco-
pal church item of yesterday that the
inscription over the ehancel was Holi-
ness to the Lord, nay well have giveu
rise to the suspicion thatwe were willing
to deal unjustIy with the matter in ques-
tion-the TACT being tAat the real words
of the inscription are The Lord is in
his Holy Temple" OF course We are
very sorry for making the mistake; but
the fact is, we know SO much of Scrip
ture that We are apt 10 get these good
sayings mixed little. as 10 the bal
ance of the item we think we shall have
20 let it stand as it appeared, although
we do regret having hurt ANYBODY S
feelings by our criticisms. We ara

fall short of showing it in our manner
Of doing so. We don't object to orna-
mentation in churches; but We do most
decidedly object to any cheap and tawdry
limitations of the decorative arts, any
where and everywhere.

The APPOINTMENT of Mr.. H. Il. White
hill as Secretary Of the Board of State
managers for the Centennial Fair at
Philadelphia is thoroughly appropriate
thing to do. About all the local interest
that Nevada has in the coming exposi-
ton is the opportunity it will afford to
exhibit, in a manner which shall claim a
lust recognition, full assortment of
specimens of our ore products; and
there is no man in the State SO well
qualified or situated to supervise that
sort of an interest as Mr.. Whitehill.

THE waLk1NG CUwE.

lie has passed Atlanta, Ga, and
gone to Topeka, Kan.-De Mahler
"a man who has travelled around
the world and all over it on foot.
He walks for pleasure. Sometimes
a wagner on the road accosts him
with, "Stranger, want lift ?" He
always replies, "No, rather walk"
and some miles on he passes the
home of the wagner, who by this
time has his wife and children out
to- look at the man who had rather
walk than ride. De Mailer goes
trudging on like the Wandering
Jew. He has put 10000 miles be-
hind since 1862, and has acquired
such momentum now that he can't
stop. He must walk to be happy.
OF course he stops sometimes for
rest and refreshment and sleep, but
Ills ouly halt. An Atlanta editor
took De Mailer to his house, and
got some particulars of his walks in
life out of him.
De Mailer is Virglnian. He
has estates that yield him such an
income as enables him to go where
he pleases and TO enjoy himself in
his own way. He was wounded in
the beginning of the war, and when
his wounds healed he was bent
nearly double and unable to walk.
He was rolled up almost like that
being which turns into ball and
rolls from place to place. He went
to Paris to get Strengthened out.
The surgeons operated upon him,
but after fair trial they couldn't

length they told him that nothing
could eflnctually cure him but walk
ing, persistent walking. lie re-
solved to try it. He told his doctor
that he was going to walk out of
Paris ard leave France on foot.
The doctor told him he was crazy.
He, however, commenced the Jour-
ney, and only made 104 yards from
his lodgings the first day, with the
aid of stick. The doctor tended
him two weeks on his trip, that is
until he got out of Paris. He had
then begun to improve, and was
filed with a glorious hope. He put
his whole soul into his walk. In a
mouth lis was on the sunny slopes
of the Pyrenees and had begun to
straighten up like a man. He
walked on, aud on and on. AT
length he was entirely cured, and
strobe with a firm tread. Thus he
walked along the world and across
it, and became intensely interested
in his travels. He sailed across
seas, but walked the decks of the
vessels in order to keep his foot in.
On land he seems to walk as natu-
rally as the winds blow and the
streams flow, and now he can't
stop. He makes pencil sketches of
the best scenes, and remembers ev-
cry place he has been in, and the
name of somebody he met and
talked tc. He is thoroughly cured
of his war wounds, but many lazy
people might think the cure worse
than the original afiliction.

SPEECH EsY PER ESIDENT
GRANT.

The President was called upon
for speech at the unveilin g OF
LINCOLN statue at Springfield ILL.,,
and responded, paying fitting
tribute to the memory of the great
and good man whom the occasion
honored. He spoke as follows:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GEN
TLEMEN:-On an occasion like the
present, it is q duty on my part to
bear testimony to the great and
good qualities of the patriotic man
whose earthly remains how rest
beneath this dedicated monument
1t was not my fortune to make the
personal acquaintance of Mr.. Lin
coin till the beginning of the last
year of the great struggle for Ma
tional existence.
During those years of doubling
and dependency among the many
patriotic men of the country, Abra
ham Lincoln never for a momen n
doubted the final result of peace
and freedom to every race in thi:
broad land. His faith in an all
wise Providence directing our arm!
to this final result, was the faith O
the christian that his Redeemel
liveth. Amidst obloquy, persona
abuse and hate undisguised, an(
which was given vent to withou
restraint, through the press, upol
the stump and in the private circle
he remained the same staunch, un
yielding servant of the people
never exhibiting revengeful feel
ing toward his traducers, but b.
rather pitied them, and hoped, 70
their own sake, and the good nam

we can handle, and no "nest-hiding"
about it; no tergiversations, no ambig-

What about the Catholics being put

seious we were getting so strong. For
what should you be afraid of: 4 man
Is not afraid of his own shadow. But

be put into power! All! then we
would fall back into the dark ages;

refused to exercise that memory
which aflerward became so remark

OF him. and went one day 10 tell
pIhe head master, DeJuiliy, that his
boy wtnid never do anything, and
that they could not make anything
OF him. This gentleman, who was
a man OF sense, argued differently
OF Berryer. He sent for him into
his study, and said TO him, HMy
boy, work seems disagreeabie 10
You. and you think that happiness
CONSISTS in doing nothing. Well,
come into my study; You can look
at me while l am at work that
won't fatigue you and you will do
nothing but let us well understand
each oitier-nothing of any kind,
remember" The boy was delight

taking no more notice OF him than
II he had been piece of furniture
IN the room. The first honr passed
away TO the great pleasure of the
scholar. He triumphed in thought
over the usher who had to teach
him; he congratulated himself in
having neither to open his diction-

agreement; you are TO do nothing. |
To read is to do something. Enjoy |
the permission L have given you;
DO nothing" Young Derryer could |
scarcely help saying that il would |
be difficult for him to find happi-
ness much longer in this way. At
the end of three hours the master
got up and went TO take walk I'M

my imprisonment. / can amuse /
myself now" AS soon as he came
into the garden he wished TO leave
his master and go and mingle with
his schoolfellows who were having
q merry game. The master held
him by the arm. "My boy, you are
not thinking of our agreement;
playing is doing something. Re-
main by my side; we will walk up

sit down if you like better" Hon.
est and excellent master! A man
Of sense and talent, to whom, per-
hsps, the world owes the great Ber-
ryer. Instead of repeating to him
how delightful work was, he made
him love 1t by making him feel how
insupportable was life of idleness.
