VICTORIA WooDHULL is now in California
which is the signal for our newspapers to tell
what they know of her. 1t is astons! ing
to see how they differ in opinion. They go
all he way from styling her " an able ad-
vocae of advanced ideas" down to calling
her "this advocate of all that is loatbsome
and vile" We admit her ability, but don't
see exactly where the " advanced idea" j"
come in, and while she advocates much
which we cannot endorse, we believe there is
much vlainy and many things to loathe, be-
sides the things especially advocated by this
man in dresses.

Saturday Night.

Placing the little hats all in row,
Ready for church on the morrow you know;
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white
That is what mothers are doing tonight,
Spying out holes in the little worn hose
Laying by shoes that are worn through the
toes.
Looking DER garments so faded and thin
Who but mother knows where to begin?
Changing button to make 1t look right
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer.
Telling them stories of Jesus Of old.
Who loves to gather the lambs % his fold;
Watch, they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Creeping so softly to take a last peep,
After the little ones are asleep;
Anxious to know IL the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets round each little form
Kissing each little face, rosy and bright
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Kneeling down gently beside the white head,
Praying as only mother can pray.
God guide and keep them from going astray.'

BUsrIN Music, Our neighbor Chubb
has not much of an ear for music, but he
spent considerable SUM in having his
daughter taught how to hammer piano,
and he is proud of her accomplishments
He was talking with US over the fence the
other day when q series OF dreadful
sounds came from his piano through the
open parlor window. Presently Chubb
remarked:
'Dyou hear that, Adeler1 Just listen
to that, will youi That's what call
music
Then there was few additional hangs
on the instrument, . flourish or two, and
then more discordant humping.
Splendcd, isn't itf' said Chubb.

of that machine, you observe Them's

We remarked that from the energy
displayed, Mary Jane at least seemed to
be really in earnest. But whether she
was treating Mr.. Strauss exactly right,
was an open question.
Il don't know nothin' about music,
Adeler, observed Chubb, but kin tell
the real thing when l hear it, and ] kin
sit and hear Mary Jane play them waltzes
and the Maiden's Prayer until Il makes
me cry like child.
We asserted that IL sho played those
composition as she was doing now Il
would make any body cry. A deaf mute
would shed tears
listen to that now, will your ex.

came from the parlor Isn't that splen.
didp If l didn't know it was Mary Jane
a tearin' around among them waltxes, Id
think it was one OF them fellers who play
at the consents. Let's 60 over and hear
her.
We entered the house and sought the
parlor. Mary Jane was no where to be
seen, but to the infinite disgust Of Chubb
there was red haired man, with 6st 40

Death of John Morris.

On Tuesday afternoon, Maj. John Morris
died at his residence IN Bowling, aged 81
wears. He was native of Ohio, but had
been long a resident of this county,an was
one of the best known and most respected
of our citizens. He was farmer all his
life, and quite a dealer in stock, fattcning
many cattle for market. He went to the
war as q captain in the.I26th Illinois In
fantry, and returned as major Of the regi-
ment In 1870 he was elected to the legls-
lature. For few years past he was atfilct-
ed with an affection of the lungs, which
eventuated in his death. He was amen
Der of the Presbyterian church, but was
very liberal and tolerant towards all other
christian denominations. There will be
many hearts made sad by the news OF the
death of SO good man. He leaves an
excellent wife to mourn his loss-and pro-
badly children, too, but of this we are not
informed. The funeral will be tomorrow
at II o'clock, at the Pleasant Ridge Pres
byterian church, and the remains will be
buried in Chippiannock Cemetery, near
this city.

theme, There they crucifed Him

The speaker said it was not the Jews nor
the Roman soldiers who killed Christ, al
though they were the Instruments, but IT
was the sins of the whole world. Christ
was the gilt of God to a lost world. He
came to bear in his own body the punish

torture and crucifixion, But Christ SUI

bitter, eartrending cry on the cross ex

the points made by the speaker and the au
dience seemed spell bound, listening to the
moving, touching words describing Christ I
untold suferings.
After dismission in the audience room, a
large portion of the audience repaired to
the lecture room. which was quickly filled
by christians and those seeking Christ,
Our reporter says that quite number
gave their hearts to God, and the people
seemed to go away reluctantly from the
place where such preciou, interests were
being considered and accepted by 50 many
of their friends.
