ANNoPOLIS, June IA.
The principal residents of Anne,
Rundel county, in which the recent
outrage upon Miss Jackson was com
mitted by the negro Simms, came into
tn is city this morning and proceeded
to the Jail. The jailer was searched
and the keys found. A large number
of the visitors went to the cell of the
negro Simms, and finding him chained,
dragged him away without releasing
him from the irons. They took him a
short distance from the city and
hanged him TO a tree, where he still
hangs. The mob went provided with
pickaxes, crowbars and other instru-
ments for gaining admission to the
Jail, had they met with resistance. The
negro did not say a word.

The arrival Of San Francisco papers
of the 18th instant, containing adver-
tisents announcing the sale of properly
in Santo Monica, and asserting that
place destined to become a great com
mercial city in Southern California, has
produced a profound sensation in this
city. Residents regard this as an eff

ing up a competing city at Santa Mo
MICA. 1t is not probable the Los Ange-
les AMI Independence Railroad can
nov collect one per cent. on the money
subscribed for building tho road. The
structures of the advertisement on the
Wilmington harbor is accepted AS u
direct insult to this city, and regarded
as evidence of the intention OF Senator
Jones and those associated with him
to injure, and, if possible destroy the
commercial interests of Los Angeles.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

An unusual number of large and
prominent Presbyterian churches are now
vacant and are earnestly seeking pastors.
The New York Observer publishes for
midable list of them.

the altar in "A single evening Forty have
joined on probation. Ii is conducted
chiefly by railroad men.
The Cturhman, OF Hartford, in
speaking of the withdrawal by the Rev
DIR. Eccleston of his acceptance of the
Bishopric of iowa, says: I" His whole
course in this matter has exhibited a
marked dignity and charity amid very
trying and painful circumstances"
The basis of union agreed upon be
tween the Commissioners Of the Methodist
Protestant and the Methodist Churches
provided that the united church shall be
called the Methodist Protestant Church,"
that the limit of pastoral service at each
charge shall be five successive years, and
that the ratio of representation in the Gen.
eral Conference shall be one minister and
one layman for every 1000 members.
The General Conference is at no time To
exceed 100 members.
The Bethany Congregational Church
in San Francisco, the Rev. w c. Pond
pastor, now has twenty-five Chinese mem.
hers, aud during July and the first week
in August eight pupils in It's Chinese
school for the first time expressed their de-
sire to follow Christ This church re-
ceived seven new members at the last
communion, four by profession. OF the
seventeen persons received by both
churches three were Chinese.
President Eliot, OF Harvard, says In
recent letter 1.-The great educational need
OF the West, and of the whole country, in
deed, is good schools exclusively devoted
to fitting boys thoroughly for colleges of
high standard. The public high schools
have different function, and the work of
hitting small proportion Of their pupils
Tor college interieres with the discharge OF
their very important legitimate function.
Endowed schools, managed By private
corporations, receiving boys OF ten or
twelve years, and keeping them until they
are seventeen or eighteen years old, are
more needed in this country than any
other class Of educational institutions, I'M
less 1t be girls schools of The same sort.
1t Iould be clear gain If nineteen
twcntleths Of the so.called colleges and
universities could be converted into such
secondary schools, for vigorous school,
doing its appropriate work with thorough
ness, is a much more useful institution
than lame college"

Stewards.

Coon stewards of the manifold grace OF
God! Every one to whom this grace
comes is to consider himself as its stew
ard, and to act accordingly The apostles
language is: las every man hath received
the gift, even so minister the same, one
to another. If any man teach. let him
teach as the Oraccs of God If any man
minister "a term which may apply to any
kind of Christian servicel, let him do it as
olthe ability which God giveth." A stew
ard is one who acts for another; who is
bound TO dispose of what has been in
trusted to him for the advantage of his
master, and in accordance with his mas
ter's wishes. 1t is a striking thought that
even in regard TO Gods gifts of grace we
are considered but as stewards. He still
retains the title.deeds Of the estate in His
own hands, and says to us as His tenants;
Occupy till / come" While salvation
is all OF grace it imposes the most solemn
obligations on the saved. While God has
His work, we have ours and as we cannot
90 Gods work, God will not do ours.
Now this grace Is AS manifold in its re
sponsiblities as in its revelation, opera
tons and results. We are stewards in re
lation to the Gospel itself, which is the
revelation of His grace 1t has been
committed to the church, not as monop-
oily, but as trust; and God holds her re-
sponsible not only for i,s preservation,
but also for its propagation through the
world.
We are stewards also in relation to the
various gifts and graces with which, rs
Christ's disciples, we may have been en-
dowed. Every gracious disposition, every
mental and bodily power, every calling in
lite, every relationship in society, every
office In the church, our time, our sub
stance, our influence, these are all con-
ferred on us as trusts, to he managed by
us, not for our own advantage and enjoy
ment merely, but for the welfare of socie-
ty and that God, in all things, may be
glorified. No man liveth unto himself.
lie who tries 10 do SO is chargeable with
mismanagement, and even with embez-
element, OF the estate committed to him.
He is robbing God and robbing his fel-
lowmen, without enriching himself.
Everyone has something which no other
has, and can do something which no other
can. Every bullet says the proverb has
its billet, and, in like manner, every
Christian has his special mission. He is
what he is and where he is for some wise
and gracious end He has his specially,
which it is his to cultivate for Christ. TO
each and ALL therefore, would say, stir
up the gift that is in you BE up and
doing; do something; do your best do it
at once, and do it heartily as unto the
Lord. Don't be mere cipher in the
church. Don't be mere on locker, still
less fault. finder Don't be a mere critic
in the Christian warfare, but an armed
and active combatant. Every citizen
must be soldier to do battle with sin and
hasten the triumphs of the Cross.--N. y.

ONE of the most intelligent women ]
have ever known, the Christian mother Of
a large family OF children, used TO say
that the education Of children was emf
nently work of faith. She never heard
the tramping Of her boys feet In the
house or listened to their noisy shouting
in their play, or watched their uncon-
scious slumbers without an inward, ear
nest prayer to God for wisdom 10 train
them and for the spirit Of the Highest TO
guide them. She mingled prayer with
counsel and restraint, and the counsel was
the wiser and the restraint was the strong
or for this alliance of the human and di-
vine elements in her instruction and dis
ciplne. And at length when her chill
drcn had become men and women, accus-
toned to the hard strife Of the world, her
name was the dearest one they could
speak and she who had fed their own
bodies from her own spirits life" who
had taught their feet 10 walk, their tongues
to speak and pray and illuminated their
consciences with the great lights of right
cousness and duty, held their reverence
and love, increased thousand fold by
the remembrance of an early education

BETWEEN THE LIGHTS.

LITTLE pause In life while daylight fingers
Between the sunset and the pale moonrse,
When daily labor slips from weary fingers,

Seen in the light Of suns that long have set;
Beloved ones, who.s earthly toll Is over.
Draw ncur, a. if they lived among us yet.

And then ask, with vain and troubled ycarninG:
What is the charm that makes old things so
sweet.

Even their memory keeps pure and true;
And yet from out Jerusalem the Golden,
God speaketh, saying: " make all things new"

But the clear river OF eternal life.

Old loves old sunny scenes Will He restore;
Only the curse ~ sin and incompleteness
Shall ta,nt thine earth aud thine heart no

And faith shall lift thee to His snniit heights;
Then shall psalm OF gla6ncss and thanksgiving
Fill the calm hour that comes between the lights

4 CHRISTMAS RHYME.

One Christmas evening long ago
just hc-z i'ng l forget -
The f. :. 70 Santa Claus ran low,
SO he ran into debt
Could he his usual gifts bestow
And all those bills be met,
He pulled his beard and scratched his head
And set his cap awry.
e. There are things in The world he said,
THAT money cannot buy
Tn ngs needful az oue'. daily bread;
This year those gifts I'll try
And so 10 one he gave friend,
And to another health,
And showed third the banefui end
OF blessings won by stealth
Toward what sore loss their footsteps tend
Who too much haste for wealth.
One sore-tricd soul he made so brave
That right the victory won;
With tears upon new-m1de grave
Saw higher life begun
Back to a widowed mother gave
An erring, sorrowing son.

A welcome little guest;
To more than one the heart and hand
OF her he loved the best;
To work-worn frames. through all the land,
The blessed boon of rest.
- good days work." cried Santa Claus,
Yet won he little fam;
Men took his gifts like Natures laws,
Not needing whence they came;
And some ayerred they had no cause
Their logic was 80 lame
To you who own small store of gold
| have a word to say:
Great blessings in your hands you hold
To gladden. Christmas Day,
Since love cannot be bought and sold
Or kindness thrown away.
For, should no other soul be blest,
Your own will purcr grow,
And each last Christmas be your best,
II such gifts you bestow;
For Christ will be your Christmas guest
