THE NEWS.

The Citizens Bank, of Falls City,
Neb., q private institution is the last
one to collapse.
Congressman Smalls may abandon
the contest to retain his seat in the
House, in view of the fact that the
Democrats are striving to send him
to the penitentiary, and may make
some bargain with them by which he
will receive immunity upon condi-
ton that he will resign.
THE INCOME TAX.
The Ways and Means SUBJ Commit
tee considering internal revenue mat
tcrs is reported to look with favor
upon the proposition to restore
the income tax. The two
Southern members of the Sub Com.
mittee are said to favor it, hoping
that by the imposition of this obnox
ious tax the taxes upon tobacco and
whisky may be decreased. The drift
Of the discussion in the Committee
shows that those who favor the in
come tax claim that the Eastern and
seaboard Middle States do not pay
their proper proportion of taxation
and that they only can be made to d.
so through the income tax.
Representative Mills, of Texas, hal

Swing on Reecher,

A new bomb into an old camp has
been thrown by Henry Ward Beech
er by his deliverance of last Sunday
against some old ideas that once held
sway over mems minds. 1t is ami
sing to read the editorials and words
that are current on the street respect
ing what is thought to be change of
base on the part of Mr.. Beecher, but
what in reality is no change at all
The same view of Calvinistic doctrine
has been substantially held by Mr..
Beecher for many years, and his re.
cent utterance is simply other words
and stronger, for an old idea. 1t is
unfortunate for Mr.. Beecher that at
this late day in his life, and having
passed through such an unhappy ex-
perience, he should be misunderstood
as now making an entire change of
base in regard to important truths,
for many will think they discover in
1t the fruit of loose living. while 9TH
ers will esteem it mere strike for
notoriety. We hope he will rise to
explain and let the people know just
how severely he has modified his
views, for otherwise the old clasAifi-
saints, sinners, and the Beecher fami-
ly, will certainly be revived.-Atli-

AN EMINENT METHODIST DIyINE's VIEW
'Fst or THE,

OF THE MATTER.
DR.. II. w. Thomas declares that the
question of endless punishment be-
longs to the category of unsolyed and
unsolvable problems. The following
extract explains his position on the
subject: ,ss.a
''We cannot affirm it" he says, Sand
we cannot deny it, on any grounds
that shall seem to be sufficiently clear
and sustained TO warrant q positive
stand. We do not know and cannot
know what will be the destiny of all
souls, since there is no ample light
flashed along the frightening path
way Of the future to reveal the end to
which they lead. The pages of the
book of fate do not lie open to the
reading Of the most penetrating eye
and where knowledge falters and
faith can only stand between a SEEM
ingly equal array of reasons pro and
con, it becomes lis to be modest and
confess that the solution of the prob
lem is out of our reach"

Died.:

On Wednesday, September 18th, 1877, at
Coushatta, La Mrs. LOUISA ABNEY; relict
of A. A. Abney, deceased
Mrs Abney was well and favorably known
in Bossier parish, residing here until her re-
moval to Red River parish in 1879. She had
many relatives and friends here who will be
panied to learn of her death for she labored
more for the comfort of others than herself
liberal and social as friend and neighbor.-
In their bereavement, however, it is a comfort
for them to know that she died not as those
do who are without faith; but in her last hours,
looking to her Heavenly Father for peace and
consolation, expressed a willingness to depart
this life of toll labor and affection, and be at
rest, leaving children, relatives and friends to
lament their loss

Health Statistics.

DR.. Kearney has submitted his
monthly report of matters connected
with the Health Office, from which the
following is taken:
"The month Of May was marked by an
unusually light death list, the number
o deaths, 3lS having been the smallest
reported in any month since November,
1872. And for the five months ending
with May, the deaths were 963, fewer
than in the corresponding five months
Of last year. The mortality OF the
month represents an annual death rate
of 3, TIA, or in proportian OF ID 81 deaths
in the year to every 1000 Inhabitants.
"From smallpox there were hVe
deaths-less than half the number in
April. The loss by Lmeasles, diphtheria
and Group was quite Insignificant, and
from puerperal fever there was but
single death, against seven in the montl
| before. But three deaths were recordeC
as due to typhoid fever, while IN April
the number was seven. Fatal cases OF
whooping cough, however, exceeded the
number reported in April, having been
eleven, as compared with four. Con
sumption continues to claim a large por
ton of the mortality, the number o
deaths referred to this cause being 6l
an excess Of five over April"
