Still ANOTHER "CHRISTTAN
.SI'i TE.S1fI NJ

There are many people these days
who seem to have accidcntly dropped
into this wicked world, from some
celestial hemisphere, and who OF course
suffer more or less in hody and spirit
while they tarry here. The last one
who has had his equilibrium disturbed
and his sacred soul ycxed and hcdcv-
lied, is the now Senator from the for.
csts of Minnesota, 1t appears that
some wicked New York newspaper
reporter attempted to interview him,
ut his headquarters in the wicked city
of Washington, one Sunday morning,
for the purpose of cliciting certain facts
in relation TO the grasshopper raid and
the extent Of the dcstitution arising
theretrom. The Senator refused TO be
intcnogatcd. The next day, tho cdi.
tor of the New York Herald dissectcd
the Minnesotian in this way
Mr. Senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota,
begins his career in Congress- with an
ailcctation of christian statesmanship
which is sufficient cause for good deal
of anxiety and alarm on the part Of
his friends. We have had Christian
statesmen before, but they did not turn
out we'll. Most OF them were too good
for public affairs, and when brought
into contact with the ragged edges Of
the world they yielded to temptation
more readily than the more worldly
minded. They were not Pecksnitls
exactly, but united in one personality
the conglomeratc hypocrisics of Chad
band, the oily, and Oily Cannon
They profcssed old-iashioncd notions
In matters of faith and doctrine, and
talked of the Sabbath day with pccu-
liar intonation. Mr. Mcmillan seems
like them, lie is mildly surprised that
people in Washington talk politics on
Sunday, but sternly refuses to indulge
in like dissipations himself. lie even
declines to give his views to the Herald
on Sunday, and hints at the awful
moral deprvity Of our correspondent
by suggesting that he must become
more dcmoralized than he now is be
fore he will consent TO dcsecrate the
Lords day by mere worldly conversa-
ton. This is very high plan for q
young Senator TO occupy Few men
can hope to reach Mr.. McMillan's level
as none, we believe, ever attempted TO
attain the perfection and grace of Mr.
Coliax, Still we had hoped that when
Coliax was lost to us the race Of Chris
tian statesmen had died out. They
need so mach watching They have
such innocent ways of doing things
which ordinary sinners would not dc
at ALL Their subsequent explanations
are so childlikc and bland. As mat.
ter of course Mr. Mcmillan is not one
of them, measured according to the
Collax standard, but he shows sad
want of taste in emulating the ColiaS
example. It always was the practice
of mankind to distrust the ''unco guide
and the young Senator from Minnesota
ought to know that since Colfax's time
it has been the custom of the American
people to distrust the Christian states

THE CIPIL RiGHTS BILL-ITS
LT.lfJT1 TTONS

There appears to be much appro-
hension as to the meaning of the Civil
Rights bill, which is causing trouble
among many classes Of people who
think its provisions embrace their oc-
cupations, as among the ignorant ne
grocs, who are taught to believe by the
designing whites, who pretend TO be
their friends, that their rights and
privileges under the law are without
limit.
The bill limits the rights of negroes
to Inns, Public Conycymces by land
or water, and Theatres or other places
Of public amusement.
An Inn is described BY all lexicogra.
pliers as house whcrc travellers may
obtain shelter, lodging, and entertain
ment for money. A restaurant, where
people may obtain food and drink, or
a drinking house, where liquors are
sold, is not an inn, unless the propIic-
tors furnish their houses as lodging
places for travellers. Neither Of these
comes under the law at all.
\ day or two since, ut the annual
commencement Of one Of our medical
schools, some negroes obtained tickets Of
invitation through their white friends
very improperly. The tickets were
personal and not transferable They
were doutless given for the purpose OF
raising disturbance, and the negroes
demanded and obtained admission.

Protective Power OF Clothes.

Clothes PR tect the body, not by keep
ing out cold. but by keeping heat in, or
more correctly, by allowing through their
interstices such ventilation that the nerv-
Gus system may not be sensible TO ex-
tremes in changes of temperature. Ii the
first mentioned effect were produced by
garments. then the material which is the
most impervious to air would be the
warmest. A kid glove, for example,
would keep the hands more comfortable
than thick wooden mittens. Just the re-
verse, as is well known, is the case.
