JNo. G. BROWN Governors:

The Banners Humboldt special this after
noon says that the parties who were scour-
ing the country last night and yesterday at
ternoon have returned, as no negroes could
be found, and it's thought now that none
were under arms yesterday at all. Every
thing is now quiet here, and the citizens

by the mop at Trenton Tuesday night.
MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug. 27.-There is an in
tense feeling of indignation here against
the murderers of the negro prisoners at
ho of l,a
them for their cowardly butchery. The
Bluff City battalion of the State guard has
rendered its services to the governor to
bring them to punishment. Dispatches
from Humboldt report all quiet tonight, but
the negroes are much alarmed.
LONELINESS OF CHRIsT.-The life of Christ
presents an infinite unity. 1t is rounded in
perfection. Naturalists tell US nothing in
nature Is perfect. The leaf of the plant, the
bone of the animal, give US hints OF the plan
on which they are organized; the broken
arc indicates the dimensions of the com.
pleted circle. All things in the outer world
are marred with the traces of imperfection
But the life of Christ was perfect. No one
can read His history without the idea of Hi
loneliness. Like the mignonette, whose
perfume pervades the air rather than seem.
to reside in itself, His whole life tells us
story of a lonely existence. In the text We
see most affecting scene. He had sent away
His disciples. He was there on the noun
tain alone with the stars. Alone, yet not alon,
for He communed there with the Father
When He spoke to the multitude, trying
to life them up into a spiritual life, He stoot
alone. In the figuarative language of Eli
jab, "He trod the wine press Alone" Gus
, tave Dore pictures Him bearing the eros
! alone, His followers jeering the rabble. In al
His nature He was alone in spotless perfec
, ton, a lamb without blemish. Satan in tn
temptation found in him no flaw. When til
SHINING woman was brought before Him
: His purity shrunk from penalty without Jus
+ tice. He stopped to write on the ground an
silently judged the whole accusing Grove
who shruEk from His purity. His word
and thoughts and life always made Hi
2 alone. He suffered to save, not His friend
{ but the guilty. His mother and brethre
, did not understand His boyhood. How 10,
: ingly He laid His hands on those He woul
D bless. How He took John to be His b,
= loved disciple. He was willing to be LITE
t up on the cross to draw men to the hight
r life. So, all men who think and attempt
Q live better life, will at many times fin
: themselves slone.-Rev. DIR. Robinson.
