DIED.


Rachel p. Thomas was born 10th
February, 1858, near the present home
of her father, r. S. McCarroll, in
Mahaska county, Iowa. Was mar
ried to B. f. Thomas, May 4th, 1876.
Died on the evening of June 9th, 1877.
She was converted and united with
the NJ. E. Church at Kirkville, Iowa,
during the month of January, 1871,
under the pastoral labors of Rev. j.
G. Barton. She had declining health
for nearly three years. The last year
Of her life was one of almost con-
slant suffering. Although her dis
ease was severe and suffering great,
it did not at any time or in any way
impair her reason. Death did not
come to her unexpectedly for weeks
before she seemed to anticipate the
dying hour. Having been brought
to her fathers home for the last time
she said to her mother and friends
II have come home to die" Looking
beyond to the great eternity and re-
alizing that soon she must go hence,
she was only anxious to be found in
perfect readiness for the great ex-
change. Much of her time was spent
in silent and vocal prayer. At times
doubts would intervene, and clouds
overcast her moral sky, but on Thurs
day before her death she grasped
firmly by the hand of faith her Sa-
vior, and was thus brought into the
clear and unclouded light of His rec
onciled countenance. So complete
was her victory that at times she
would rise above her suffering, in
heavenly triumph; her soul and
voice would break out into singing,
"Iam going home. I am going home.
To die no more.'
Though her pain was most excru-
ciating, she murmured not, express
ing only at times, anxious solicitude
to depart and be at rest,
"ThAt rest where all the souls desire
Is fixed on God Alone"
That rest which remains to the
people of God she doubtless has OBJ
tanned.
Thus has closed up the youthful
earth-life of our sister, leaving be-
hind husband, father and mother,
brothers and sisters, friends and as
sociates, to mourn her loss.
IT'S sweet, q year by year we lose
Friends out Of sight, in faith 10 muse,
How grand In paradise our store
The funeral services were held at
Kirkville M. E. Church, at the hour
of 3 p. M, June 9th, 1877. TT. M.

sVs0tAS6Us
You have all seen the handsome
paper on the bulletin boards which
announces the coming of Forepaugh's
immense aggregation on the 25th.
1t is acknowledged that Mr.. Fore
paugh gives the best show in the
country, and also gives the most for
the least.
As q matter of course he wants and
tries to make money out of his bust
ness. but it is not his ruling passion.
To have the name and fame of CIV
ing the best show in the country lis
to him far more satisfactory than the
simple profit. To tell him he did not
give good entertainment would be
like telling q Pennsylvania Dutchman
that he has poor barn. To have the
largest collection of curious things,
the rarest and most numerous wild
animals, the most wonderful per-
formers, the largest spread of canvas,
the grandest and most gorgeous pro-
ccssion is his beau ideal of Paradise.
If he hears of strange and unheard
of wonder, lusus nature in the
shape of monstrosity, great me-
chanical triumph, or some astounding
performer, he neither sleeps nor
rests until he has secured it, if it
comes within the range of possibility.
Price or salary being a secondary
consideration, to get control of the
'card" is the object. In the combi-
nation that he has now on exhibition
he has combined four or five or six
different entertainments. This, as
matter of course, does not include
the usual amount of side shows,
which, as is always the case, are nu-
merous.
He moves like an army. Three
great railway trains, of 100 cars, are
required to transport this gigantic
show; three powerful engines are
useful for motive power, and Fore
paugh owns them all. His commissa.
ry, quartcrmaster's and ordinance de-
partment he carries with him. He
spreads more canvass than an army
corps, and it is worth coming fifty
miles just to see the immense tents
and the magnificent procession. Re-
member the date, June 25th.

Gen. Arthur at IEome.

signatures to petition, directed to the
President asking. him to retain Gen. AR
THUR rs collector of that port 1t was signed
by every Judge of every court in the city
and by nearly all the leading members OF
the bar, and by most Of the largest import

was neither tulsome nor even laudatory in
its terms but simply set forth the services
Gen. ARTHUR had rendered the public in
his official capacity, his popularity with the
mercantile classes, his excellent social posi-
tion, and his faithful and energetic manage
ment of the trusts committed to his care.
Gen. ARTHUR is no otlicc-sceker; and
when he learned that these petitions were
In circulation he at once had them sup
pressed, insisting that they should not BE-
forwarded TO the President. In this he bore
himself in very manly way. He scorns
either by himself or others to have hand
raised 10 change the purpose of the appoint

The lads and lasses had their own good fun
last night 1t was Halloween, the mysterious
season when the incorporeal was Joined to the
corporcal by only frail tenure, and when
the spirits were called forth by a potent in
vocation and sent along wandering. OF course,
last evening the games of nut cracking" aud
''ducking for apples" were indulgcd in by tho
young people, and many beautiful maiden
waited for her lover to ring the door-bell and
enter, for he would surely be the one whom she
was to marry. Alas for many of these wait
ing maids! The door-bell was only rung by
mischievous boys who had invariably cord
tied to the door-knob, causing much trouble in
the opening of the door. Tho small boys
always manage to be hid behind a neighboring
tree-box to see the fun. 1t is an old supersti-
tion that the dreams dreamed on Halloween
always come true, and consequently every
body prays for pleasant dreams. We trust
that the readers of The REPUBLICAN were
visited last night by the kindest of fairies,
who whispered to them the brightest promises

Once "a Bourbon Always u BOur
hon.

The American Missionary Society held
It's annual meeting recently at the city OF
Syracuse, New York. and Confederat e
colonel named PRESTON, of Virginia, had the
effrontery to send paper on the future of
the nrgro to that body which the Rev. Mr..
ROBINSON had the bad taste or impudcnce
to read. The writer took ground in de-
iense OF African slavery, and led up to his
theme by trying to show that the African
negro can never be civilized unless brought
into contact with civilization. A good
Providence placed negroes in the hands Of
the AnglO-SuXons OF the United States. The
civilization of i,0O0,000 of the benighted
FACE is owing entirely to slavery under their
Nasters The South had no especial repre-
sentation of industrial arts at Philadelphia
last year. but could panorama of
the negro as he was in Africa and
then as he was in the South
have been exhibited the nobest award
would not have been given to the tele-
graph, the manufacturers of the mighty en-
ginc OF the North, but to the South for con-
Nerting barbarians to civilized beings! Col.
PRESTON contcndcd that there must be no
attempts at higher education, nor to Anglo
sIxonihc the negro. The white race must
be dominant; there is NO place for the
negro as legislator, doctor, lawyer, or skill
ful artisan.
The propounder of such ideas in the nine
teentn century must be Ounce, and An au-
