The Methodist ministers discussed on
Monday the comparative influence OF the pulpit
and tue press. Ii was good theme for them to
talk about, for unique stionably the preachers
can learn much fiom the press Of the best
methods Of working on the minds Of the
public. The Rev Sir. ADAMS, 10 his address
on the sui Ject. compared the religious and the
secular press TO the decided disadvantage Of
the former. lie found some OF the so-called
secular newspapers really more religious
than tue nomiually religious organs, aud
quoted the remark Of a sensible brother who
said tuat OF all the newspapers he received.
q daily secular journal was tue most religious.
This l. as We hnd H. and We regularly many
religious papers. These latter, as MIR. ADAMS
says, are timld. lack power. and their writing
ia thin. You get the idea that half that they
print they do not really believe, but only put It
In because II Is the correct thing. But they
make mistake. Their readers are brighter
IMAM 1hei suppose, and sec through the sham
ming. Another thing about the religious
newspapers we have observed. They are more
ahjtctly the slaves Of their advertisers
than any other class If journals. some Of them
even mix piety aud lu,re In most offensive
WAY. 50 that It is hard to tell where the religion
ends aud tue uuacsery begins. This sort Of
thing must disgu all intelligent readers. The
charge of Mr.. ADAMS against tue rel giOus
iress that II lacks hOdness Is lust. They may
he bol enough in hitting their sectarlan uppO-
nenss, but Of real intellectual courage-the
courage Of their oplnols-lbey exhibit ntlle.
They do not drive nsht alta subject, but tim
idiy sAim It's surface II they really believe what
they teach, really believe tuat they are dealing
with mems immortal Interests, that they can
point to the cure for wickedness, aud thai,

have made the German name honored

Correspondence Of the Star.
New RICHMOND, o., August 2S.
Yesterday was gala day in the usu-
ally quiet town of New Richmond. The
lay ing of the cornerstone OF the German
Lutheran Church was the occasion.
Fully one thousand people came from
Cincinnati to participate in the cere-
monies.
Hon. Mayor Johnston, being especially
invited, was present, and after pray
by Rev. Mr.. Scholz and singing by the
choirs from St. PauPs and st. Johns
Churches, of Cincinnati, Mayor Parker,
of New Richmond, presented His Honor
Mayor johnston, OF CINCINNATI, who
snoke as follows:

The creed, for however various and devil
Gus the paths may be, they will, it fol-
lowed with truthful faith, lead to that
goal which is the final aim of every true
believer.
The occasion we celebrate to-day is
of ri fn
lions which L, for one, hope will be per-
petuated until time shall cease to be. In
all editices devoted to beneficent pur-
pose, the laying of the corner stone and
the initiatory movement in the construc-
ton of the stately pile, the ceremony is
one well calculated to impress the mind
with conflicting emotions of joy and
sadness-joy in the evid 9nce of progress
and prosperity which the erection of
such structures implies; sadness in the
contemplation that we, who are now
present, in the active enjoyment of
health, energy and hope, will have
passed away, when the proud editice
which we have assisted to build will re-
main in all its pristine grandeur; but as
all earthly works must fade and perish,
we have the proud consolation OF know
ing that although our mortal being may
become dust, the immortal part will live
when even this temple, devoted to the
holiest of purposes, will,
"Blke the baseless fabric OF a vision,
Leave not wreck behind."
But let me advert TO more cheerful
theme, and it is readily found in the evi.
dence OF prosperity and growth, which
an old acquaintance like myself can not
fail in noticing, in regard to your beau
titul town, a YeritabIe gem Of the pic.

How a Mexican Bore Away the
Head of Sioux Indian,


BLACK Hills Correspondence Sioux City
Journal
On the evening OF the murder, while
the streets were crowded with people
and impromptu eulogies were being pro-
nounced upon the life of Wild Bill from
speakers on the tops of lumber piles and
stumps of trees, and while Others were
defending the murderer, a Mexican came
charging into town upon horse, bear.
ing In his hand the head of an Indian
whom he claimed to have killed.
We had heard of the attack on Crook
City by the Indians, and that the Mon.
tana herd, consisting of four hundred
horses, had been run off. AS YOU can
imagine the excitement created when
the miners saw the Indians head, YET
dripping with gore, a hldeous-looking
object, coming through the crowd. On
the Mexican's own Statement that he
had killed the Indian, but not until the
red devil had shot his horse from under
him, it was agreed that the head should
be sold to the highest bidder and the
money be appropriated towards buying
the Mexican another horse.
The head was sold at auction, man
mounting the scaffold with the candle in
one hand and holding up the head by
the long hair in the other, endeav0ring
to light up the ghastly features so that
that the wild and excited crowd could
see them. The auctioneer then com.
menced calling for bids, the same as
though he were selling box of notions.
l think the head was finally knocked
down at $57 80. 1t was then taken
around town from store to store and
from saloon to saloon, as representa-.
ton Of live Indian begging for aims
nt1d N iC ftn hi "a
was raised.
Next day, about 10 A. NJ, one of Mr.
Shoun's cattle herders sent up wore
| from Crook City, requesting the return
of that scalp that the Mexican had
stolen. 1t was afterwards proven thai
the boy killed the savage, and started
| to scalp him, but seeing the other Indi
ans corraling his "pard" down in ra
vine, he left the dead Indian, and rushed
down to help his friend, and while ht
was away the Mexican came along ant
| beheaded the redskin, and gallopeu int
Deadwood with his trophy.
When the boys returned for the scalI
| lie found the headless trunk lying where
| he had left it, but was at a loss to imag
inc who had been playing at decapiJa
ton. The citizens took the body, and
| building a huge fire OF pine logs, I'm tate(
a Hindoo funeral, and you can refer t.
this indian as being good, quiet anC
well-disposed Indian from this time for
ward, ii ever you happen to get corneret
in argument defending the noble RET
man. THE Mexican says that the In
dians stood Oh the bluffs above him anC
| witnessed the decapltation, making ;
hideous noise, moaning and walilng ii
their own peculiar style, while he sawe
away with his old dull knife on the In
| dams neck.
