Musselman turns his face toward Mecca
when he prayS, and feels II his duty 10
visit the tomb Of the Prophet once at
least before he dies. The fact that all our
creeds and sects and churches are more
or less exotic unqpestionably has no little
influence on the development Of religion
in this country, and the recent falling
away from religious institutions. The
witty Frenchman who said America had
thirty.tWo religions and only one gravy,
bit of the poor cookery Of the country al
that time; but he could have truly added
thSt while the gravy was native and u
nondescript, oil the religions were foreign.
America has no indigenous religion, and
no Independent religious life, and hence
We can have no distlnctiyely American
church. And her clergy necessarily look
abroad for ideas and Inspirations and
the intellectual supports they most need.
Their best books are imported, and Il Is
natural and proper that they should
want 10 see and hear the men whose
thoughts they live upon. The best Ameri.
can preachers have finished their educa.
ton by foreign travel. They get from a
European tour what books and lectures
and universities cannot teach. They
come in fresh contact with human nature
and human lie under new forms and 9th.
er types Of civilization which stimulate
their minds and correct their Judgments,
and better fit them for their serious tasks.
They get rid Of their provincialism,
which Is decided gain. Ills to be hoped
that the clergymen who 60 abroad this
summer will make the best use Of their
privileges and come back strengthened
and, enriched for more useful service.
The story.is told Of a Boston minister
who, when no reached Paris, threw off
his coat and said: "Parson, lie there till

but 1t Ia to be hoped that our travelling
clergymen will not forget that they are

pretend to elaborate the theory here,
but I will try to give you an outline
oft. His idea is, that the heat which
is known to be in the earth's centre
is caused by huge electric currents,
which are reproduced in he shape
of figure s and are continually at
work. He illustrates his idea by the
well>known experience of heating a
piece of charcoal, platinum wire, etc.,
between the poles of a battery. That
electric currents of sufficient size
could produce tie immense heat that
is known to exist in the earth, l
don't suppose can be a matter Of
doubt. That they do produce it, DR..
Lovelace proposes to prove and if he
succeeds, he will have made a discov-
cry whose value will be better known
to scientific men than to me. Ihave
never read much on the subject, and
make no pretensions, but Ihave never
seen the theory preached before.
THE FISHING, ETC.
The river is still falling, and the
fish are coming up the creek in large
numbers. AS | believe is usual, they
do not bite very we'll when they are
running up. We have no trouble in
keeping the tables bountifully sup
piled, but the sport of fishing is I'M
certain as yet. Some days they bite
ravenously and perhaps the very next
day they bite sluggishly. BY the
time this reaches your readers we all
expect them to be biting finely.
Mr.. Frank Bolton had the ladies
down to the Spring this morning and
took view of the Spring house and
it's surroundings. 1t will make very
pretty picture for the sterorcope.
Let me in conclusion, repeat for
the benefit of visitors who have never
been here, the advice Of a gentleman
who has observed things closely, and
that is that they are likely to be dis
appointed at first, and for a day Or
two will want to return at once, but
that soon wears off, and they will in
two or three days be so we'll pleased
that they will be sorry when the
time comes for them to leave.
Yours &C.,
TOBIAS.

If THE ROW WERE In THE
SOUTH,

We had partially our say editorial.
ly last week, in regard to the big
strike and big row among our bresh.
rem north of Mason and Dixon,a
line, but since then, under the can
ton which heads this article, we find
the following admirable and moro
than truthful article in the Louisville
Courier Journal, and can't keen it
from our readers:
Transfer the scene of these disorders
from the North to the South. locate
them in New Orleans, Mobile, Mem
pbis or Atlanta, convert this wild.
excited mob of operatives into planta.
ton hands, the militia into, what the
militia of the Southern States must

siding with the rioters and opposing
itself to constituted authority. assaif
indiscriminately the whole native
white population of the South as mur-
derers and rebels. We should see the
Administration using the army, not to
sustain the conservative elements of
society, but to put these down. We
should see the forces of Law and order
in the government used 70 sustain the
forces of mlsrnle and outlawry in the
States. We should have plilosophic
essays from partisan theorizels about
the turbulency of the Southern char.
acter, and the irreconcilability of the
Southern temper. The bloody shirt
would float triumphant on the breeze.
and Mr.. Blaine would be a made man.
What is the lesson, therefore? WHY.
this, that the Northern people are no
ADLER to stand out against abnormal
conditions than the Southern people
that the ignorant masses of the North
are no better than the ignorant masses
of the South, but equally excitable and
dangerous; that mobs are mobs in the
one section as in the other, requiring
in both the same strong hand of the
law. During twelve years the govern
ment has put the mob, by force of
arms, over the responsible people Of
the South, and has sustained the lead
ers of the mob in pillaging the de-
fenseless public; and, because of dis
turbance here and there at long inter-
vals-in no case equalling the scenes
during a single hour enacted in loyal
Pittsburg-a large party in the North
has steadily demanded, and is still
demanding, the complete subsection of
all things Southern to just such diree-
ton as the mob would give Pennsyt-
vania to-day if it had the power.

Taxpayer, and this time favorable to
him, we state on reliable authority
that a member of the Board of Coun-

in payment of a debt due him. All
men Of course have right to de-
mand currency for their dues, but is
not this, to say the least of it, very
unfelicitous act on the part of a
member CT the Board, thus to depre-
ciate his own financial fedglings?

the regular Packet, Bart. Able, with
Captain Dick Sinnott in command,
and the entire crew of the Bart.

time. The Texas is thus entered as
the Grand Ecore Packet for the low
water season, and we trust this ar
rangement will prove beyond doubt
that Captain Sinnott is in earnest in

trade, the year around. The Texas
goes down this evening at o'clock.
