The utility of Sunday School In
stitutes is too we'll established to call
for any elaborate argament in their
behalf.
The complaint is frequently made
that our Sunday Schools are not as
spiritual as they ought to be, that
the teachers are dull, careless
and indifferent as to the quality or
quantity of the instruction they i'm
part: that a goodly number of them
are not as fully qualified as they
ought to be. This undoubtedly is
true in many instances.
Our Sunday School workers, as
general thing, have had no special
training for the work; and while
some of them do, by close application,
qualify themselves for the work be-
fore them, others who lack their zeal
and energy do not apply themselves
to the means that may be at hand,
and of course will not impart in
struction as may be desired.
What is to he done? Sunday
schools we must have. We cannot do
without them. Right here the Insti-
tutes come to our relief. They pro-
pose to remedy these evils. The
Sunday school workers, in different
places are brought together, opinions
are exchanged, methods of instruc-
tion are discussed, the dilatOry and
tardy are aroused, and a stimulus is
given TO the Sunday y-schOol cause
which can not be otherwise than
wholesome.
1t was with this object in view that
an Institute was held at Fairfield,
Sept. 4th. The exercises were both
entertaining and profitable. The BIZ
BILE reading and blackboard exercises
were very interesting. These were
conducted by Rev. Fl. L. Whitehead
and w. r. White. A model class WAS
formed with r. d. Neal, as teacher.
The audience was treated to an ex-
cellent essay by Rev. J. w. McCor-
mick, on SUNDAY school Teachers
Preparation" which, together with
CAClCiSCH lDONC uACASiC'1
brought out some thoughts and dis
cussions which we think proved IN
teresting and profitable to those who
heard them.
A Children's Meeting was also held,
which was addressed by Rev. ID. l..
Whitehead.
1t was decided to have a permanent
organization, and a Committee OF
three was appointed to prepare and
present a Constitution; also, to pre-
pare programme for the next meet
inc, which was decided to be held at
Porter, on the 9th day of Nov, 1875.
Come, friends, one and ALL The
world is moving; the cause of religion
is making rapid advancement; if we
do not keep pace with it we fall In
the background. Let us work while
it is day, for the might cometh,

TIE Cincinnati Volksblatt, as
every one knows, is not Republican
sheet, but seeing only disaster and
ruin, national and individual. in the
election of Bill Allen, in this cam
paign it supports the Republican
ticket. 1t says:
We have at present the currency
question solely in view. In this
question the Democratic party has ia
ken the path of breach of faith, re-
pudiation and general ruin. The Re-
publican party, on the other hand,
does not say whether and how it will
do the right thing, but it says at least
that it will not take the absolutely
wrong course proposed by the Demo
Gratis. 1t is therefore in the currency
question, indisputably, at least, mega
lively in the right, and this, in con-
sideration of the danger of the mo-
ment, can not be highly enough
priced. The election of Allen would
be looked upon over the whole coun-
try as a victory of the imitation
movement, and would give an almost
irresistible impulse to it. In the in
terest of the workingmen, of the
business men, of trade and industry,
the defeat of Allen is an absolute
necessity. To carry out this defeat,
no other means offer than the cleo
tion of the Republican candidate fol
Governor. For this reason we sup
port Messrs. Hayes and Young.

Cary's COwardice.

The Cincinnati Volksblatt, in dis
cussing Cary's refusal to debate
with Gen. Woodford on the currency
question, says:
1.-THE currency question is not To-
cal, hut National one, and It is i'm
material whether it is discussed by a
Cincinnatian or New Yorker
Truth will remain truth, right right,
and wrong wrong, even though the
advocate of one or the other resides
in Kamtschatka Or Constantinople.
The quintessence of the whole matter
is that Cary does not wish to debate,
least of all with Gov. Woodford,
whose triumph he fears.
"If Gen. Cary wanted to debate
with Ohioans only he should have ex-
pressly said so in his challenge. A
large number of speakers from other
States had taken part in our cam
paign. If Gen. Cary did not wish to
include them in his challenge he
should have specially excluded them !;
he should have plainly specified that
only those should pick up his gaunt-
let who live within the bounds of
Ohio. But as he did not do this,
Gov. Woodforl was perfectly justi-
fed in accepting the challenge, and
Gen. Cary's refusal to debate with
him is only what is known as a back
out"

A correspondent of the Buffalo
Courier writes as follows: In the
latter end eft the last century old
Port Royal disappeared beneath the
waves in an earthquake, leaving no
other memorial behind than these
few patches of reefs. In calm and
clear evenings when there is not a
ripple on the CLASSY surface of the
sea, you may look down into fifteen
fathoms of water and see submerged
houses, towers, and churches, with
sharks swim ming quietly in and out
of the open windows of their bel
fries. The work of centuries was de-
stroved in a few moments by one sin
ole convulsive throb of the thin film
on which man has lived and specula-
ted for ages past. An American
diving company, instigated in their
enterprise by tales of untold wealth
buried beneath the sea by this sud
den shock, rescued no treasures but
the big bell suspended still in the
bell tower, and donated the same to
the museum of the island, where 1T
may be seen, with many puzzling in
scrIptions upon it, which nobody has
vet been able to decipher.

THE Columbus cerresp ,ndent Of
the Cincinnati Times publishes re-
port of a private conversational,
rather, of public conversation-by
Sam. Cary in a railroad CIR. Here
it is:
"While thinking of nothing in par
ticular, my friend dropped to sleep
only to be awakened by a painful
jar against one of his limbs, which
instantly drove all thought of sleep
from his mind. Upon assuming an
upright position, he ascertained that
the jar had been caused by the ut
tempt of two men to get through the
aisle, in order to occupy the seat just
in front of him. One of these gen
tlemen was Sam. F. Cary, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, while the other was an elderly
man, who seemed to be a special
friend of the smooth-tongued orator.
"As soon as the new arrivals took
their seats, they entered briskly INTO
conversation about the prospects of
both political parties. Cary, in Ian
guage more forcible than polite, Civ
ing his opinion of General Tom
Young. In answer to a question
from his friends as TO what the re-
suit of the election would be, Mr..
Cary in substance said:
"'Yes, sir; our ticket will undoubt-
edly be elected, and l shall be Gov
ernor.'
"'No,' said the friend, Lieutenant
Governor, you mean.
"No, sir rejoined Cary; i mean
just what | said. The Democratic
ticket will surely be elected; this
will make me Lieutenant Governor,
and Governor Allen has repeatedly
told me he did not want the office.
He has personally assured me that,
in the event of his election, of which
he has no doubt, he will resign his
office as soon Us he can without max
ing too much of breeze, and this,
you see, will make me Governor.
"Much more was said, but the
above is the part that had meat in
it. Now, no doubt some Democrat
will say this is another campaign lie
started on it's way. Don't do it, my
brother; go slow. If you doubt the
truth of what is written above, first
drop postal card in your post office
addressed to Capt. John. H. Grove,
Justice of the Peace, Columbus,
Ohio, and he will indorse what / have
written. This conversation was re-
peated in my presence, last night, by
Captain Grove.

Bug-Feeding Democrats.


The Bulletin formerly used to
draw all it's democratic inspiration
from the New York World, but in
this campaign we notice it draws
lightly upon this eastern party organ.
Some democrats read the JOURNAL,
and for their information we give an
extract from the World that they
may know what their New York
brethren think of the leaders Of Ohio
Democracy. Here is what the World
says:
The Buddhists of India have such
profound respect for all life that
they will not permit even vermin to
be destroyed, and consequently suf-
fer much inconvenience now and then.
But, like the typical pilgrim who
went to Rome with boiled peas in his
shoes, the Buddhists contrive way
to serve dogma without neglecting
comfort. How do the Marwaree
baboos manage to satisfy the appe-
tites of their cImices lectularii and
yet sleep untormented? They hire a
bug feeder, who for the seemingly
disproportionate fee of an anna an
hour, lies down on the baboo's bed
before that worthy's time of retiring,
and takes the edge from the enemy's
appetite-draws his fire, so to speak
so that when the baboo is ready to
go to bed the bugs are satisfied and
retire also. Bill Allen and General
Cary, obliging persons both, have
gone into the business of bug-feed-
ing for the Western Republicans;
testing the public feeling on the cur
rency question suo periculo.

DOg-SpeecI.

1t is certain that dogs can inter
change ideas as men talk with one
another. 1t matters little whether
they do it by sign or by sound, but
they do it easily and effectively. Mrs.
Burton gives some curious facts
about dog-life in Syria and other
Eastern cities. Dogs exist there by
hundreds and thousands, without
owners or care, and are a kind of com
munity by themselves. Each one be-
longs to a particular quarter of the
city, and is not allowed to live else
where. She treated them kindly ana
fed them, while the inhabitants pea'
and stoned them and in gratitude
they undertook to escort her. ana oe-
fend her from harm. When she went
ont To walk, a dog always met her, as
r. anpointed by the whole communl-
tv accompanied her to the border OF
his boundary, and passed her over to
one belonging to that quarter, who
did the same thing in his turn. Each
dog wagged his tail, as if bidding
GOOD by, when his work was done.
She says, also, she has often in the
quiet night heard dog come bark
ing from the foot of the mountains.
Meeting the dogs on the border of
the village, there would be quiet n
few minutes, then a general barking
in concert; then one dog would start
for the middle of the village, with q
similar result there; then a single
dog again for the further side of the
village, followed by general barking
there. 'sWhatever the canine news
is" she says, sin about twenty min
utcs it is passed round to all the dogs
in Damascus"

About Husbands--To the "GirIs-' :

A man is, in general, better pleased
when he has n good dinner upon his Ia
Bile than when his wife speaks Greek
Sam. johnson.
johnson was right. Idon't agree to all
The solemn dOgmas of the rough old
stager;
But very much approve what one may
call
The minor morals of the ''Ursa Ma
jor.''
johnson was right. Although some
men adore
Wisdom in woman, and with wisdom
cram her,
There isn't one i'm ten but thinks far
more
OF his own grub than his spouse's
grammar.
Iknow it is the greatest shame i'm life;
But who among them (save, perhaps,
MYSELF
Returning home, but asks his wife,
What beef-not books-she has upon
the shelf.
Though Greek and Latin be the lady's
boast,
They're little valued by her loving
mate;
The kind of tongue that husbands relish
most
Is, modern, boiled and served upon a
plate.
Or if, as fond ambition may command,
Some homemade verse the happy mat

What mortal spouse but from her dainty
hand
Wouh sooner see pudding than a
poem?
Young lady-deep in love with Tom or
Harry
'Tis sad to tell you such a tale as
this;
But here is the moral of it:
Do not marry:
Or, marrying, take your lover as he is
A very Mars--with something of the
brute
Unless he proves sentimental noddy,
With passions strong and appetite to
boot,
A thirsty soul within Il hungry body.
A very man-nOt one of natures
clods--
With human failings, whether saint
or sinner,
Endowed, perhaps, with genius from
the gods,
But apt to take his temper from his
dinner. SAKE.

ONE of the many good points IN
General Woodford's speech in this
city was his declaration that he was
not here to decry the greenback, but
simply to ask that it be made as
good as gold. He paid a high trib-
ute to the good service done by the
greenback in the hour Of the Nations
peril. He maintained that but for
the doubt cast upon the future of the
greenback by the course of the infia-
tionists it would soon be accepted by
the people as of equal value with
gold, when the currency question"
would at once cease to be a question.
That is the right kind of talk, and
the talk that will make converts.
The greenback is not dishonest
rags" The greenback was as Cen
eral Woodford aptly said, the price
of the country's liberty. The green
back is to be held in respect by all
patriotic Americans. But the green
back, so worthy of honor, is that
based on the pledge of the nation 70
redeem it at the earliest practicaDie
moment. 1t is that issued under j
pledge never, under any circumstan-
ces to exceed four hundred million
dollars. II is not the greenDack

VS.. Cary.
The Bslletin, recently, appealed
to young men to 'ally themselves
With the Democratic party" Letus
secwhat Cary, the man who made
Vance, politically we mean. has to
sayin this direction. We copy from
speech delivered at Troy, N. Y, in
November, 1866. In addressing
young men, Cary said:
ssWill you vote with that party
which has-gathered into it, as in one
great reservoir, all the treason of the
North and South? that party the
leaders of which denounced the
boys in hlne' as hirelings and dogs,
andrefused them the right of suf-

cd the great and good Lincoln as a
tyrant and usurper, and nerved the

ter four years of strife, slandered the
dead and insulted the living soldiers
by solemnly declaring in National
Conrention that the war was q fail

exefted themselves to discredit the
money and bonds of the Govern
ment by proelaiming their issue un-
constitutional and their promise to
pay worthless? that party, the lead
ers Of which organized consplracies
in the North to murder Governors,
seize armories and arsenals, release
rebd prisoners, and destroy by fire
and sword and pestilence the proper
ty and lives of our citizens? that par
ty, the leaders of which welcomed
and piloted the infamous Morgan
and his band of guerrillas through
Indiana and Ohio? that party which
inaugurated reign of terror in New
York City in 1858 by burning or
phan asylums, rapine and murder?
Will You young men embark your
political fortunes with a party which
to-day advocates the immediate adj
mission to the halls of Congress of
men whose hands are yet wet and
dripping with the blood OF our slain
heroes; of men who, when minister
ing in our offices under oaths to sup
port the Constitution, were plotting
it's destruction; men who have added
periury to murder, and treason to
perjury, men who have distinguish

and rebel armies, and rebel navies by

Says the Cincinnati Commercial:
One of the most powerful, but at
the same time most fallacious, argu-
ments used by the infationlsts to de-
lude the people is that plethora of
paper money produces prosperity,
while restricted issues of paper lead
to commercial distress and industrial
depression. That precisely the re-
verse of this is true can be conclu-
sively shown from the history of
every financial panic, both in Great
Britain and in this country. We
challenge the inflationists to show a
single instance of such a panic that
has not originated either from redun-
dant issues of paper money, or from
the imitation and abuse of credit in
some other form.

Snakes at Natal.
From Frazer's Magazine.

The puff-adder is most dangerous
snake. being of the color of the dead
leaves on which he is fond of curl
ing himself up, and of so sluggish
and sleepy anature that he will not
trouble himself tomove out of ones
way; it is difficult to always avoid
treading on him. His bite is most
deadly, and he has the dangerous
habit of striking backward, not for
ward like other snakes. A few pea
pie have, 1 believe, recovered from
the effect of the puff-adder's bite, but
very few; they generally die in about
quarter of an hour, going quietly
to sleep. The only chance of n cure
is to keep constantly walking, and to
drink quantities of raw brandy, and
to take doses of eau-de-luee. When
the Kaffirs kill snake they take
some of the venom from its head,
which they carry in little bag round
their necks, and if bitten, swallow a
little, which they say is a certain
cure. There is even worse snake
in Natal than the puff-adder-fortu-
nately rare one-the black imamba,
one of the very few that will venture
an attack without provocation. Many
people say that it will even follow a
person for miles; but rather doubt
this, unless the persons road hap
pens to run between it and its home,
and then | dare say it would do SO.
Perhaps every one does not know
that cats are snake-proof. A bite has
no effect on them; we had al Oppor-
tunity of proving this. A short
time after we came to Oakham we
were strolling about, looking at our
new possessions, when we were star
tied by hearing peculiar shrek from
one of the children, evidently a
scream of terror. We rushed up to
the house and into the dining-room,
whence the sounds came, and there
was our little hoy in q frantic state
of fright, with long green imamba
wriggling about on the floor in front
of him, engaged in severe tussel
with n large tortoise shell cat, one
we had brought from the town.
Which would have got the best of it
had they been left to fight it out l
can not say, for. the coolie rushed in
and killed the snake. The cat had
bitten out ore of its eyes, and IN re-
turn had got wound on its face that
swelled up to an enormous size; but
beyond that he seemed none the
worse for the encounter, and in few
days puss was quite herself again
and we felt very grateful to him ever
after for having, in all probability,
saved our little hov's life.
