missionary Anniversary.
ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF E. ZION sABBATI
SCHOOLS.

ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF E. ZION SABBATH
SCHOOLS.
To the Editor of the Commercial:
There are some apparently small things
transpiring in the course of daily events
which, from the fullness OF their good
character, deserve to be mentioned, and
which prove to be large things after all.
The object of this communication is to re-
late one Of just such small, but really large
events, and "Here raise mine Ebenezer."
Despite the sultry disposition of yesterday
afternoons weather, in happiness and pride
they celebrated the ninth Missionary An
niversary of e. Zion Sunday school. About
216 .. m., the school had assembled and
after the usual ceremony they were soon in
the stream of actual missionary exercises.
ALI of the first part OF the work was con-
sumed in the reception of missionary con-
tributions from the different classes of the
school, and these were of unusually large
proportions in several cases. It is worthy
of remark what scriptural perspicacity and
pointedness of understanding were mani
tested in the selection Of biblical and other
mottos which attended upon each offering
presented to the superintendent, who read
them with that hearty feeling which always
characterzes him on such glorious occa-
sions. f.s f.-
In the second part, Miss Hattie Sterling
presented and read to common gratifca-
tion of the school, an abridged annal of the
school, from its origination in 1876 up to the
present time. She related that Mr.. Thomas
Mason suggested the Importance Of Sum
day school to the late and Rev. Joseph
Whittingham, who was pastor at that time.
The idea was followed up and meeting
was held in the old school-house which
! now foots the recess on the south side of
| q. Zion church. Mr.. Abraham Murray was
appointed Superintendent, and in which Ca
pacity has he nobly and indefatigably Of
ficiated ever since. The number of schol-
ars was 80 and teachers 4. The time inter-
| vening from the organization Of the school
up till now, shows great, jealous and sue
cessful operating, and compliments the
| workers in the successful enterprise, to say
nothing of the honor of their school being
the first Of eolored Sabbath schools in the
city The school numbers, at present, more
! than $50 scholars, with common attend

Dyspepsia is the most perpexing of all human all
ments. Its symptoms almost infinite in their
variety and the forlorn and respondent victims Of
the disease often fancy themselves the prey, in turn
of every known malady. This is due, in part to the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the BRAIN and in part also to the fact that any
disturbance of the digestive function necessarily
disorders the liver the bowels and the sys
tenn, and effects to some extent the quality of the

The Louisville Courier-Journal is
brim full of compassion towards
some of the high officers of the army
whose salaries have been reduced.
The straitened circumstances of
General Sherman is feelingly stated
a follows:
Gen. Sherman couldn't support
his family in Washington on his sal
airy, and had to move to st. Louis;
and now Congress is about to knock
several thousand dollars from his sal
airy, and where can he go when that
is done? That there was a conspi-
racy to reduce the General of the
army to abjeet poverty in Washing
ton, and that same conspiracy is now
trying to starye him to death in St.
Louis, no sane man can doubt, Gen.
Sherman's salary, including commu-
tation of r~ations, forage, rentofquar-
tiers, &C., now amounts to but about
SIS, 900 a year, with little or no steal
age, and to reduce it $4,000 lower
would be precisely the same thing as
sending him and his family to the
p%oor-house, without transportation.
The CONSCIOUSNESS of filling an ut
terly useless office ought to be paid
for literally.
