not much change in the ticket from the
one elected last year.

the music of thy gentle voice? Alas
we fear not. FL. w. has for many
years,-much against his inclination

Rev. MIR. Evans Lecture. Rev

Rev. Mr.. Evans Lecture. Rev.
Matthew Evans delivered very able
and entertaining lecture before the
Literary Society last Friday evening
His theme was.-Two who ar'nt one,
or Shades of Married Life. IF we
were to agree with all Bro. Evans said,
we should do what critic has never
done; and yet we can come so near to
giving general endorsement that we
feel constrained to pronounce it wholly
good. His subject was handled with
good deal of skill; he told volume
of truth which will prove beneficial to
both old and young, married and single
if so they will but digest it. as they
are wont to digest good meal. The
anecdotes with which he interspread
his remarks were apt, and with one or
two exceptions capital, fitting as nicely
as though they had been manufactured
for the occasion.
Mr.. Evans recitation of Tennyson's
poem in the broad Yorkshire dialect
was perfection itself, with one excep-
ton, or idea, rather, viz. that people
should marry in their religion, we must
dissent. We think people should
learn that all religion is based upon one
grand attribute Love, and that God
is love, and that Christ is God, Gas we
believe, in the flesh, coming to US in
our enlightenment, that we may see,
touch, hear and k1aooc our Cod not as
the ancients kne W him-not as the
children of Israel knew him as God
of omnipotent power, but as the very,
and fullest exemplifcations of Lore.
and if the young woman and young
man who propose matrimony can and
will recognize this fact, the forms and
ceremonies which constrain one TO be
a Presbyterian and the other Metho-
dist or IA Congregationalst or Baptist
will in nowise interfere with conjugal
felicity. There is in truth but one
Church IN the world, and when people
come to fully comprehend this fact,
bigotry and the fooiishness of sectari-
anism will have vanished, and larger
freedom will be enjoyed by all people
at ali times and everywhere.
We don't propose to stand as a critic
over Bro Evans belief. We &C
count his lecture good, excellent, and
full of instruction, and we are glad SO
many heard it's words Of wisdom, and
we hope tie young may profit by them,
and the older ones too, who have been
walking together, two who have not
been one, as they should have been,
for it will be easier 10 90 together the
heavenly portals as one, than to be
crouching along one in law, but tUo
in the sight of God. And again we
say, we thank Bro. Evans for his true
words.

The Literary
~ Society,"

The Literary Society.-The
exercises at the D. and L. Society, as
usual, were very interesting last
Saturday evening, April 1st. The
audience was a select and appreciative
one Taking into consideration that
there was an April fool show in town,
and we learn that the audience were
we'll fooled, We, at the basement had
good time, which was manifested, all
through the evening by applause.
The singing by Miss Carrie Comp
ton, Miss Dougherty and others was
really excellent. An Grafton delivered
by Master David Worthington caused
considerable laughter and applause.
Albert Fontaine, being called upon
mounted the rostrum and made very
eloquent speech. The debate was
participated in by Albert Fontaine,
Frank Woodwork, Corrie Purdy, W.
A. Reyes and the Sick Man, each
one of them seemed to be in dead ear
nest. At about half past nine o'clock
all went home feeling much better sat
isfed with having spent their time to
their credit, while those who attended
the APRIL Fool Show looked at every
thing with sleeps eyes.
The next meeting of the Society
will be held at Writer'S Hall, Saturday
evening, April Sth. The following
is the programme for the evening:
Music, led by Miss Carrie Compton.
Select Reading.-C. L. Hamilton.
Declamation.-Henry Hayden.

SignOr BlitZ.-This renowned
magician, or another chap sailing un-
der Blitz' flag gave al entertainment
at Writer'S Hall to upwards of 940,-
000 people, big and little last Saturday
evening. The hall was literally pack
ed from floor to--we were going t.
say ceiling, but we won't without Blitz
pays seventy-fye cents; as he refuses
to do SO, we say the hall was chock
full. and let it go at that
The entertainment as whole, we
we learn was not quite up to the ex-
pectation Of ye multitude. The Sig
nor did some very wonderful things,
but not many. He said he knew how
to do some three thousand, but put
our people off with something like a
dozen. Mr.. LeGrande, sang, put him
self into variety Of costumes, ana
looked very pretty, and very homelyI
and very silly, and ye multitude pro-
uounced him, LeGrande, and the show
as whole lie Grande sell. Well,
folks love to be fooled-humbugged,
and the man who does it the smoothest
wins. Those mighty magicians who
can entertain a Chicago audience sue
cessive nights don't get out in to min
or towns, so we may safely say that
that Blitz is not Blitz but then those
quarters and halves are just as pree-
IONS as though the bona fde Signor
had 'em in has strong box. The next
big humbug Will draw just as big a
house.

be served at 9:15 p. m. Everybody
is invited to attend in costume or cIti-

Bold Attempt at Robbery.

FoKT SCOTT, April IA bold at
tempt wss made at one o'clock yesterday
morning to rob an express and mail
train ON the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas
Road at Blue Jacket station, just over
the southern border of Kansas in the
Indian Territory. The officers for some
time had known that a gang of despera-
does had organized for this object
and the company had taken
steps to Illustrate their de-
signs in sending out u small detective
force TO watch them. Three OF the
detectives had joined the gang and
learned their plans, which included tho
robbery of this train, as the train was
run on a side track by the displacement
of a switch. A guard who had been
placed in the cab with the engineer, los.
ing his presence of mind, commenced
firing at tho robbers as they ap.
preached the train, ut the same time
giving the signal to others in the train
to come out, thus giving the robbers a
chance to retreat, which they svailed
themselves Of in haste. Two of the
gang were captured at Chetops, Kansas,
this morning and lodged in Jail and 1t
is thought the others cannot escape.
