ton to intemperance; but he has
been as suddenly converted as ST. PAM
was; more, ais conversion happened IN
this wise; he strolled into the .sboss
convention, in time to witness the
closing scenes 10 the deliberations Of
that august body, and was appalled, at
what met his gaze there;-not ONLY
Silyerlake and Bangor but the Whole
crowd, except Deacons Ross and Dunn,
acted as if they had Just arrived from
a rum shop; when Dan Galley called
on Mr.. Ross to address them, and he.
MIR. Ross, proceeded to call their at.
tention to the illustrations of the evils
OF intemperanee they had before them,
when Deacon Dunn arose-a solemn
smile oyerspreading his visage, he
looked for all the world as though, his
nearest friend was going to be shot
and the hour Of execution had come,
but. he soon rallied his spirits, and in.
formed Mr.. Ross that that was not a.
reform club, but Republican conyen-
ton, called in the interest of good
government, Hayes, honest counts and
civil service reform, at which several
of the faithful wept; but Joseph said
Hayes and good government be bless
ed, and then and there vowed he
would have no more fellowship with
the unfruitful works Of darkness. but
rather forsake them; and if Republi.
cans had no other avocation Than to
pollute public morals and destroy
mems lives, he would not be eutrap-
ped by any completely. with them or
their craft; so ends his last conversion.
If permitted, next week, I will tell
how he came to listen to the delusive
music of the Greenbackers.

A letter dated August 25th re-

day from General Mccormick, q. S.
Commissioners General to the Paris
Exposition, contains the following :
SAT the close of fourth month of the
exposition we feel justified in de-
claring that the American depart
nent is success. We have receiy-
ed many compliments from other
nations and from millions of visi-
tors. Better still, we shall carry off
ship load of prizes. I shall be
wonderfully glad, however, when the
whole matter is settled and can re-
turn to Washington. Every one
connected with our department is in
excellent health"
The Maine election, in the judg-
ment of politicians here, has settled
the question that the new House of
Representatives will be Democratic
and largely so. If the Republicans
cannot hold their own in Vermont
aud Maine it is held that in more
doubtful States they must expect to
suffer serious losses. The next Sen
ate is Democratic by a majority of
from ten to fourteen, and il is now
predicted that there will be Dem
ocratic and a Greenback majority in
the next House of from thirty to
forty. OF these, it is supposed some
sixteen or seventeen will be out-and-
out Greenbackers. But a great
many of the Democrats will be
pledged to the policy of that party.

A Big Scare Caused by the Burn
ing of the Shot Tower.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 23.-The burn
ing of the shot tower has caused the
greatest alarm among residents in
that locality, who feared that the
vast pile of bricks might at any mo-
ment come toppling down upon them
and crush them beneath the ruins of
their dwellings. Whole families were
awakened. and left their houses half
clad. Some Of the woman tainted,
while others shrieked in terror, thus
adding the to excitement. All the
oombustible material in the interior
of the tower was finally consumed,
and by 5: 30 a. m. comparative quiet
reigned in the neighborhood. The
origin of the fire is unknown, The
tower was built in 1928, and is said
to be the highest brick building in
the world, its height being 234 feet,
the solidity of its constructions al
lowed Of only about four inches vi

for that end throughout this broad

Republicans. They all submitted

GUIDE ME- IN THE PATTI OF
RIGHT.
Father, all my soul goes out
In prayer of trust to thee
Still the longing and the doubt
Which do now abide in me.
Weak my strongest efforts are,
Vainly seek for the light
That for me doth shine afar
Guide me in the path of right.
Guide me, Father, lest 1 stray
Far from thoughts of heaven and thee
Keep me in the narrow way,
However rough that way may be.
What care though feet may bleed,
If at last gain the light
Unto which the path doth lead?
Guide me in the path of right.
Father, ever be my guide
Then, whate'er my troubles be,
Peace will still with me abide,
Clearly my way will see.
Be thou as the cloud by day,
As the flaming fire by night
Ever pointing out the way
OF the Christians path of right.
Father, how my spirit thrills
AS / speak thy hallowed name !
1 can bear the myriad ills
That beset my earthly frame
I can put the tempter's wiles
And his every snare to flight,
If the Father on me smiles,
Guiding me In paths of right.

We are informed that the Demo
Gratis contemplate running General
Joseph A. Mabry for Congress in
the Knoxville (Tennessee) district.
Gen. Mabry probably did more than
any one Individual to break down
the Radical party in that State, and
free the people from misrule, corrup-
ton, and q most odious and iniquit-
Gus ban of prescription. To accom-
pIish this purpose he purchased the
Nashville Daily Press and Times and
Brownlow's Knonvtlle Whig, the lead
ing Radical organs, and turned them
in the interests OF enfranchising the
people, which resulted in Waterloo
defeat to Radicalism in one of their
greatest strongholds. Such service
deserves recognition, and should re-
