DR.. Robinson told at the Christian Con-
vention how Mr. Moody managed. He said:

hold of me, and the first thing I knew he
had me preaching on the corner by the
light of bull's-eye lantern. Directly l
finished, a little infidel, who had been wait

lions, but Mr.. Moody struck up ''Rock of

Mems Christian Association meeting.
| YOUNG MEN.
| With regard to the Importance and
means of bringing young men into the
church, Mr.. Baker related the experience
of Mr.. Jno. Wahnamaker, of Philadelphia,
which was, that the way to secure them
them was to get, and keep near them.
The mature men of a congregation should
keep near them. Speak to them of their
mother-every decent young man respects
his mother, and that ought to be sure
opening to their confidence. Business
men should watch their opportunities to
influence young men in their employ. 1t
was sad thing to think of lost opportuni.
ties in this respect. Not long ago young

The Formal AcccDtances.

The more carefully and the more ire
quently one reads and studies the letters
in which Gov. Tilden and Gov. Hendricks
accept the nominations rendered them by
the st. Louis Convention, published last
week, the more thoroughly is he convinced
of the special qualifications which the
writer's possess for the high Offices to
which they are proposed. We have at
tempted comparison of these writings
with the corresponding communications
of the Republican candidates. but the for
mer are upon plane Of thought, honesty,
and power SO much higher than the latter,
that it was impossible to get them into
juxtaposition sufficiently close for the
purpose. When we say what the former
are, we say precisely what the others are
not. The documents of our cand idates
arc the honest exposition OF the writers
sentiments upon the questions which they
discuss. They are original documents,
not complied by party leaders, skulking
behind the names of automatons whose
actions they are governing and prompting.
With an unsparing pen the peculators
and perjurers Of the present Administra-
ton are exhibited in their true character,
and with unrelenting severity is laid bare
the character of the transactions by which
these plunderers have robbed the people
and enrich themselves. Not even here Is
pause allowed; the true remedies are I'M
folded. Not merely must the public service
be purged of rascality and rascals, it mus t
be ordered and regulated that the admis-
sion ofaught that's evil shall in future be
impossible. With the authors OF these
documents at the head ofour affairs, it is
certain that we should enter upon an era
ofpublic fidelity and national prosperity.

The End of the Ampca cllmenf
Trial.

Belknap has escaped the punish
ment merited by his crimes when Sec
rotary of War, and yet by So Sena-
tors out of 60 he has been pronounced
guilty of the commission of those Of
lenses. He henceforth takes his place
in the world as a man not merely NOR
ally convicted, but actually condemn
ed by the jury before whom his case
was tried.
Although but 80 of the Senators
actually recorded the formal vote Of
"Guilty" so as to render the culprit
liable to the Just consequences of his
otfenses, there were found but two
who could conscientiously say that
they considered his misdeeds rot
proved. The rest were careful to let
it be known that to their minds his
culpability was fully established, but
that in consequence of having resign
ed his Office, the Senate had no power
to punish. The formal wording of
their votes was therefore, "Not Gull
ty," as this was the only way in which
it could be received so as give effect
TO their idea of the Senate's want of
punitive authority. BY an all but
unanimous vote, he has therefore been
pronounced a criminal Of a hue the
deepest scarlet.
The action of these twenty-five Sen.
ators is certainly open to criticism.
The question Of jurisdiction was
brought up at the commencement of
the trial and was then settled in favor
of the Senates authority over the
case. AS consequence the iDvesti
cation advanced, and those members
who had voted may" upon the pre-
liminary question: continued with the
others to take part in the proceedings.
The harmony of their action here and
their final vote it is difficult to per
ceive. Having so far acknowledged
the.validlty ofthe ante9edent decis-
ion, they certainly lay themselves open
to the charge of inconsistency by their
action on the final question
But there IS view Of the subject
much more grave than this, In mat
tiers that come before any delberatiye
assembly for decision, there will, in
the prior discussion, always be devei-
oped variety of opinions, but when
judgement has been rendered by the
majority, this is always considered
binding upon the dissentlents who re-
main in action with the society. IF
this were not the case, the result,
where the action Of a Legislative is
body concerned, would be disastrous
to the well-being OF the nation which
it represents, According to the rule
laid down by these Senators, any mi
nority in Congress, who in debate
opposed the passage Of u measure,
would be at full liberty to refuse to
abide by the terms of the same, even
after it had been properly enacted,
and thereby made portion of the law
Of the land. Not only these, but as a
necessary sequence, all Others, not
members of the law enacting corps,
would have license to act in opposition
to any statute which by them was
deemed obnoxious or unadvisabe.
The condition of q country under such
circumstances can well be imagined.
We think the illustrious twenty-five
did not we'll consider the logical ten
lency of their action.

Sheriff's attempted visit, but when
he received the dispatch he started
forthwith to obey it, wearing torn

to bring over, later, his camp cot,
uniform, coat and cap.
Since the close of the war Col.
Burke has resided continuously at
Fort Wood, on Bedloe's Island, and
when he was permanently retired
from the army, he obtained permis-
sion from the War Department to
remain there as long as he chose.
He lives almost entirely by himself,
his only indulgences being his pipe
and an occasional toddy. The
French statue Of liberty which is to
be erected on Bedloe's Island, will
occupy the site of the present fort,
and should Col. Burke live until
that work is begun, he will probably
be turned out of that particular spot,
but he will still be able to live on
his beloved island.

up ever since! Pll be one happy
woman about the 9Th OF November" "
"Charlotte," solemnly interrupted the
husband, "can you understand this
thing? The election will occur on
the 7th of November, of course. Af
ter that date must help count up
the returns, verify them, put our club
in training for the next campaign,

Nice Girls.
I Frank Leslie's Weekly.1

Nice girls may be classed under
two heads-thc nice naturally, and
the nice artificially. The quality of
niceness depends much upon the
light in which it is received by the
outside world. Unless a young lady
be faultlessly beautiful, when there
can or should be no difference of
opinion, no two men entertain the
same estimate of her personal attrac-
tons. 1t is well known fact that
two people never see the same rain
bow, the individuality Of the prisms
being dependent upon the point of
vision. A mans appreciation of fe-
male loveliness may be subject to
similar influences. Let us take class
number one, the "nice naturally
Under the head we include those
young ladies gifted with beauty or
amiahility of style, or that indefua-
BILE attraction which comprehends all
these niceties, without being distin-
guishlngly prominent In any particu-
lar. These young ladies are nice
without effort. Beauty in women is
the initial charm by which mans
attention is arrested. With nothing
to back, beauty is merely a decoy for
the shallow-minded. Not that men
of sense are not often chained to
frivolous, idealess women, fond of
dress and amusement. In these cas-
es, the mans judgment has not die
tated his choice. 1t he marry a
pretty coquette, the match has prob
ably been one of convenience or
compulsion; or if, apart from all
this, he has really of his own unbi-
assed will selected a fllrt, il IS one of
those freaks of nature which, as
Dundreary says, mo feflah can un-
derstand." Heart has conquered
brain and warped Judgment. And
then woman may be pretty, hollow
and vain, and yet be sufficiently
clever actress to deceive, by the aid
of her superficial charms, many who
fancy themselves shrewd judges Of
