Listeners.

Good listeners are quite as needful to the
success of preaching as good preachers. Care
less sitters whose faces are blank, whose
eyes wander like the fools eyes to the ends of
the earth, and whose heads turn upon their
shoulders like tops, are tine bane of any public
speaker. Averted faces, downcast, dreamy
or vacant looks, and slumberous stupidity, will
chill any man, however ardent, who tries i'll
vain to catch and keep the attention of these
annoying folks There are also the whlsperers
and the gigglers, and those who, if not rude
enough to talk aloud, employ their pencils in
defacing hymn-books aud bibles; and the sta.
rers, who look their neighbors out of counte-
nance, and scrutinize the bonnets and dresses,
and the fidgetty people who cannot sit still for
three minutes at time; and all the rest of the
restless ones. Then there are not a few who
bring such great burdens out of the world in
to the house of God, that one wonders how
they ever can pass the doors and get into their
seats, sofull are they of dry goods and groce-
ries, and stocks and bonds, and bank accounts
and speculations. Others come with troubles
which are not easily laid aside when they
leave their homes, and even the church-goers
are not always masters of their own thoughts
when cares oppress and Satan tempts. Some
hearers are captious, opinionatcd, critical, and
so biased by prejudices that they are not and
cannot be fair judges of their preachers. Is it
any wonder that ''the good seed of the king
DOM finds little nOurishmcnt in these divers
grounds? Christian IntellIgencer.

by previous registry of those entitled to vote;
but we remember no instances in which these
were not opposed by the Democratic party.
Does not this justify the belief that the Dem
ocratic party regards practical license to ille-
gal voting as an advantage? The Enquirer
now charges that the Democratic party was
beaten by illegal votes at the recent election;
but is it willing to have Democratic members
of the General Assembly join the Republican
in deliberating and enacting rules to prevent
Illegal votings
We do not prescribe any plan. We only
say that if the privilege of voting is worth
having, it is worth the pains by each elector
that are requisite to verify it; and we ask #
Democrats will unite with Republicans in de-
vising fair and impartial rules to protect the
integrity of the ballot. To say this caunot be
done, is imbecile. The reason why it is not
dene is because powerful party has always
opposed it Is it not worth an effort? We
have an idea that if the Republican party in
the General Assembly shall, this coming ses-
sion, bring forward thorough and stringent
registry bill, they will put the party which op-
poses it in the attitude of holding on to the
facilities for illegal voting and for utterly de-
stroying the integrity of the elections of the
peOplt.-Csa Gazette.

with the hard times and their soft mon
ey platform, would take off enough
votes from Hartranft to defeat him
They felt serenely confident of theil
success, as consequence of thest
movements, and the reelection U
Hartranft by a rousing majority, in the
face of such combinations, is as much
a matter of surprise to bis opponents
as it is of qualification to his friends.
The Odium brought. upon the State by
the Democratic House of Representa-.
tives last last winter doubtless contrib
ute to this result; but the general un-
trustwOrtkiness of the party had still
more to do with it. Pennsylvania il
undoubtedly q Republican State; and
her people have this year taken special
pains to demonstrate that fact.
Altogether, the results Of these No
venber elections may be accepted as
evidence OF the determination of the
people not to trust the Democratic
party any longer. They have had all
they want, and more too, of Demo-
critic rule, and they have returned to
their first love, satisfied to trust the
only party that has ever been true and
faithful To their intere5tS.-PittsbuTg

To Project the Ballot.

Always when the Democratic party is de-
feated at an election, the organs raise the cry
that it was done by imported and other illegal
votes. This was repeated upon the recent
election. The Cincinnati Enquirer pretends
to think that the change in the party COM
plexion in this county was made by illegal
votes, and that the Republicans carried the
State by the same means. 1t isnotorious that
large numbers of the police tried to keep le-
gal voters from the polls by intimidation, vio-
lence, and arbitrary arrests. 1t twould be unna-
tural if they did not also encourage illegal
voters. There is evidence enough to carry a
moral conviction that two of them entered in
from Newport to vote and repeat, and that
they were provided with money to do this
costly work.
There were plenty of other signs that an ex-
tensive Democratic organization for importing
and repeating votes was in operation In the
notorietY of all this the Democratic cry of il
| legal voting sounds pitiful. Yet this practice
on their side may make them sincerely think
the same is done by the Republicans. But is
this posterior charge of fraud satisfaction to
an intelligent people9 Is the providing of our
elections with such safeguards as will secure
them against both the fact and the suspense
of illegal voting impractieable? If not, will
capable and honest people neglect to provide
these safeguards, and content themselves with
charging fraud when their party is beaten?
To provide these securities is an affair for
both parties to unite in, if both desire honest
elections.
If the privilege of voting is worth having, it
is worth the pains necessary to verify and pro-
tcct it. He who objects TO fulfilling the
forms to verify his right to the franchise, is
not fit to possess it. And the honest voter is
deprived.Of his franchise when an illegal vo-
ter and repeater may neutralize his vote. Eff.
forts have been made to protect the elections

THE HUSKING SEASON.
A Timely Sketch-Healthy Hi
larity Displaced by Fashion.
From the Easton Free Press. }

Corn husking time now comes on
apace. But corn husking Is not what
| it used to be. There was time, few
years back in history, when this season
brought with it delights which were by
no means to be despised. The husking
bee of yOre was an occasion that swell
ed the youthful hearts of whole
neighborhood, and eliminated in a
gratifying array of matrimonial alli-
ances that had very beneficial effect
upon the perqu;sites of country minis
tiers and the census reports.
The healthy hilarity of the husking
season went out when the country girl
became one of the lost artS-When fash
ion tabooed romping.
The youngest son of the family was
a messenger of joy and glad tidings in
the DAYS when he rode bareback up to
a neighbor's door and delivered the in
vitatiOn, with =
''S-a-a-y, our folks is goin' to hev
huskia' tO-morrer, and wants all YOU
uns to cum over. The gals III hev the
quilt in right arter dinner.
That was enough. 1t wasn't satin
card, commencing with, THE compli-
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones'" and
ending with polite lie, but it was an
mutation that came from the heart,
and was accepted with an
"All right, Bobby, we'll be there"
Then deft and pretty hands rewarded
the welcome messenger with slices of
tOOthsome mince pie, behind which his
honest, sunbrowned face looked like II
partial eclipse of the moon.
1t is not difficult to imagine the sem
sations that would possess the soul of,
the rural young lady of to-day should
she receive such an invitation from
such a source. How can the present
young woman be expected to get her
'tie-back" under shock of cUrn or how
cOuld she sit down on one without hav-
ing half her rear harness showed over
her head. The thing can't be did.
When fashion came in fun went out.
A woman can't romp in corsets with
any more success than she can kick ap-
piles off her beau's head with her feet
lied together. Fun and huskings went
out together when fashion withdrew
the feminine feature. 1t may be argued
that this is one of the indications of our
advanced civilization. But advanced
civilization has a wasp waist, and short
breath and can't club chestnuts; be-
sides, it runs to cotton pads, false hair
and an early grave with weak poetry
over it. Wealthy physicians and un-
dertakers came in with advanced civ
ilization and are its great advocates.
Angelina Rowena may not be able to
see it, but if she would take her cOrse Is
for dried apple holder, and wrestle
for kisses over the red ear, and romp
with pumpkins for foot balls, letting
good society say "lt's perfectly how
wild" if it wanted to, she would soon
find herself able to draw long breath
without making three offers at it, and
stand ur without nail keg around her
for support.

This fearful scourge has again broken
out among the horses, and thousands
are lying helpless-suffering from the
dreadful disease.
Whatever remedy worthy of note,
known to be beneficial in effecting a
cure, should be given to the public for
the relief of the poor, suffering brutes
that in health are ever ready to respond
by active exertion to the commands

THE Democrats Of Ohio are endeavoring 10
draw public attention from their own rascali
ty, in ballot-stuffing and repeating, by charg-
ing fraud upon the Republicans. There never
was a more honest and intelligent vote cast in
Ohio than the recent one for Gov. HAYES
The Democrats had control of the State Gov
ernment; the police force of the large cities
WIS under their direction; they are reported to
have colonized voters from Kentucky; they
resorted to every means to defeat the honest
sentiment of the people; and yet, with ali
these advantages, they failed. They cannot
win public sympathy, for the people know
that their cryof fraud" is simply dodge to
keep investigation from their doors

WEAT THEY Education is not
the work of the State at ALL 1t belongs to
families, and should be left to families, and to
voluntary associations. The school tax in it
self is an unjust imposition"
I'VE demand of the State, as our right, Ell
ther, such schools as our Church will accept,
or exemption from the school tax, If it will
support schools by a general tax, we demand
that it provide, or give US our portion of the
public fund and leave us to provide schools in
our own religion, under the supervision of our
own Church. We hold education to be a
function of the Church, not of the State; and
in our case we do not and will not accept the
State as an educator. ."-FreenaR's Journal

An ADDRESS was delivered in st. Louis on
Monday by Rev. Joseph Henning, a Catholic
priest. This clerical gentleman is by no
means mealy -mouthed in his utterances. He
asserts that the Catholic Church is being per-
secuted in the United States; and cites, as in
stances of this persecution, the efforts to pre-
serve the public schools from sectarianism, and
the movements in behalf of compulsory edu-
cation. He declares that the State cannot
be independent of the Church, as the latter is
infallible in everything; that Catholic must
be such politically as well as religiously; and
that, consequently, it is the duty of every
Catholic, in casting his vote at any election,
to place it where it will do his Church the
most good. Professionalism, according to
Father Henning, is already on its last legs, and
will soon be swept from the face of the earth;
and, when that event shall have occurred,
there will come "a time of peace and quiet"
order will reign in Warsaw; everything will
be lovely, and the Papal goose will hang at an
exceedingly lofty elevation. All the friends
of our common school system will do well to
peruse this outspoken diatribe against that
bulwark of our republican institutions, and,
thus forewarned, become forearmed for its de-
fense.-C Chicago Tribune.

The Schools and the Press.

The periodicals and newspapers printed in
the United States very nearly equal those of
all the rest of the educated world. In
1S70it was estimated that 7642 were publish
ed in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in our
own country 5871. Since that time our pub
lications have increased, it is supposed, nearly
to an equality with these of all the world be-
sides, and our forty millions of people read as
much as all the rest of the hundreds of mil
lions upon the same globe who can read at all.
| To our free institutions much of this inquisi-
live spirit is due; but to the common school
system we owe the capacity of gratifying our
curiosity and cnltivating a general knowledge
of the condition of our feilow-men. 1t is esti-
mated that the number of copies of newspa-
pers and periodicals printed in Great Britain
in 1870 was $50, 600, 900, and an equal number
in France. The census returns show that in
the same year 1 800, 900, 900 copies were print
ed in the United States. Our readers con-
sumo and pay for periodical literature twice
as great as that of the two populous centres of
European civilization; and the census reports
show how closely the progress of a demand
for newspapers is connected with the advance
of the common schools Where there are no
public schools, there are no newspapers; where
the teacher leads the way, the press follows
In uneducated Georgia. for example, with a
population OF nearly 100000, there are only
1913 newspapers and periodicals.; in Massachu-
setts, with population of nearly 1,500, 900,
there are 28O The circulation of the news
of Georgia is IA, 47 1888; Of Massachusetts,,
107, ,691, 1852. In educated Ohio the annual
circulation was, in 1870 90, 900, 900 in a popu-
lation of 1859, 681. In unedcated Texas, five
fold as large as Ohio, with a population of
8S5, ,006, the circulation was 5,813, 432. Only
seven copies of a newspaper are printed year
ly in Texas to eaclAnhabitant; in Ohio, 80; in
Massachusetts, "A; in New York, 113; in
Pennsylvania, 67. The total number of pub
lications in North Carolina, we are told,
wonld allow only one paper to each inhabitant
every three months; New York prints 113 CO.
pies year for each of its people.
California stands next in this proportion,
and allows SO copies year to each inhabitant
Its people probably consume at home more
newspapers in proportion to their numbers
than any part of the world-a proof that the
emigrants to the Golden State have been well
educated, and their common schools effective
1t would, indeed, be ungenerous to pursue
further this contrast between the literature
and intelligence of the different portions of
our country. Temporary obstacles have divi-
ded us in this particular. We may reasona-
bly, trust that; the common schools will
win at last an equal victory and control in ev-
cry section of the Union.-EUGENE LAW

The shipments of apples from this
station for the week ending Saturday,
October "a, reached Ass barrels. For
the month of October the total is II, ,4SI
barrels, and the total shipments to date
amount to 22,S51 barrels. Our dealers
are actually getting tired OF handling
apples, and notwithstanding that many
apples yet remain to be marketed here,
the tired dealers show disinclinatiou
TO purchase. The price, however, has
not fallen of, but the supply Is beyond
any calculation the buyers have made.

THoUGH Moody and Sanky are believers in
hell, they make hardly any use of its terrors,
and rarely ever refer to it. Many of the 9TH
er famous revivalists have made it promi-
nent feature of their preaching. if not the chief
means Of influencing sinners. Elder Knapp
thundered around it till tie echoes of his
voice struck terror into the hearts of the
wicked. The Rev. Charles G. Finney stood
by its brink, rigorous and unsparing, pointsng
his finger down the bottomless abyss, and
sternly warning his hearers against the Di-
vine wrath which held its penalties in reserve
for the unrepentant. Wesley and Whitefeld
understood its power on the hardened con-
science. Everybody knows the extent to
which that power is oftentimes displayed at
Methodist camp meetings. Perhaps Moody
and Sankey, in their revival experiences, have
found themselves able to work effectively
upon the human mind by other means.
Perhaps they may resort to it yet before they
get through with Brooklyn.-N. Y. S,cn.
