Tent Meetings

Closed in Lancaster July %. Quite num>

have become deeply interested in the great
truths they have heard. Much prejudice has
been removed in spite of the strong opposi-

No man has yet presented one text for Sum

invitation to come into our pulpit and defend
the practice from Bi6le standpoint.
We pitch the tent on Boice Prairie near
Frank Bonhams, and there will be preaching,
Lord willing, on Sunday, July 90, at l0i a. m.

Dan Rice's Circus Coming.

Dan Rice's Great Circus and Trained An
imal Exhibition is now going up the river to
st. Paul. On its return trip it will exhibit at
Potosi, Platteville and Cassville. Due notice
will be given of the dates. by this paper.
WHAT THE PRESS SAYS OF DAN RICE.
From Dubuque Herald, July 18th.
The Two performances of Dan Rice's show
in this city were not as well attended as they
would have been had the people known the
real merit of the performance. To sum it up
in nut shell, we unhesitatingly pronounce it
the best circus performance that has been
given in this city for years-in fact, the best
ever given here. 1t is not only amusing, but
instructive, and Mr.. Rice deserves credit for
the unostentacious manner in which he deals
out his wares. The entertainment is not
spread out on illuminated show bills, but is
concentrated under the canvas-in the arena
where Dan himself delights the audience
| with his brilliant ard witty intellect. There
is nothing presented but what could, with
prOpriety, be enacted in church without
Decorating those sanctuaries; and it is a
question requiring no argument to determine
that the intelligence of his trained horses, in
many respects, is superior to that of many
ministers who raid against the wholesome
amusements he furnishes the public. Dan
Rice's show is worth the patronage of the
public.
From Dubuque Times, July 18th
Dan Rices circus, yesterday, was universal
ly acknowledged to be one of the best that
ever struck Dubuque. The remarkable feats
of the six trained horses were alone worth
the full price of the admittance to the show.
DAN RICE's CIRCUS.
From Dubuque Telegraph, July 10th
The performances given Saturday afternoon
and evening by Dan Rice's circus troupe were
not as largely attended as they deserved to
be. There were many things well worth GO
ing to see, among them the feats of the boy
rider, the goat riding on horseback, and the
man with the revolving globe, but the great
attractions were the trained horses and mules
which performed really marvellous feats. The
prompt obedience of the horses to the vari-
Gus commands of the showmen was enthusi-
astically applauded, and many present might
have taken dancing lesson from the waltz
of the mules. Dan Rice's horses alone are
| better worth seeing than all the performances
given by manV other circuses.

In case of Macmahon's resignation,
Dufaure will probably succeed. Dufaure
was born in 1898, studied law, and en-
tered public life in 1884. He was mem
Der of the Chamber of Deputies in 184S,
and voted for the Punishment of the Or
leans family, which he once supported.
He then became a partisan of Louis Ma
poleon, and was Minister of the Interior
under him, until he suspected NapOle-
on's treachery, and resigned. The coup
d'etat sent Dufaure into private life, but
ne appeared once as candidate for the
Corps Legislatif and was badly beaten.
In 1871 he was elected to the Assembly
from three departments, and became
Minister of Justice under Theirs in that
year. He held the position until the
downfall of Theirs. In 1875 he was Min
lister of Justice under Buffet, whose re-
dictionary policy he opposed. In 1876 he
gave place to the Simon Ministry. Du-
faure is Conservative Republican, and
it was only few years ago that he de-
clared himself thorough Republican.
His great age precludes the idea ofmuch
service from him.

MRS. De Corey, one of the pioneers OF
St. Louis, began her married life in the
wilds of Canada. On one occasion when
alone with her six months old infant, her
house was attacked by Indians. The
Indians had to ascend a stairway to en-
ter the house. Mrs, De Corey, afterwards
Lisle, seized an axe and stationed herself
at the head of this stairway. AS Indian
after Indian approached, she cleft his
skull with the axe, until she thought she
must have killed and disabled from 20 to
30 of her savage foes. Finally those who
were left fled, and Mrs. De Corey was
master of the situation. She dragged out
the bodies of six dead Indians and laid
them on the grass, and then hunted up
her baby who was crying outdoors in a
haystack. The Indians had snatched
him off the doorstep at their first ap.
proach, and hidden him in the hay, and
she did not know he was alive until she
heard him cry. He still livesin st. Lou.

Upon reassembling Nj. Bayard said he
must solemnly aver that the presentation
of such resolution as that now before
the Senate, to seat William P. Kellogg as
Senator from that Slate, was blow more

nifty. He was shocked at such a propo-
sitiOn, and proceeded to argne at great
length against it. l9.
After speeches by Messrs, Hoar, Hill
and Others, Mr.. Lamar began to discuss
the Butler case, but, after speaking q
short time, said he must ask to be excus-
ed as he was unable to 60 on tonight
