To guard the sacred cloisters that arose
Like David's altar on Moriahs rock.

The rams horn summons of the windy foes
Who stands like Joshua's army while 1t blows
Aud wait to see them topping with the shock.
Christ and the church. Their church, whose narrow

Shut out the many. who If over bold
Like hunted wolves were driven from the fold,
Bruised with the fails those goodly zealots bore,
Mindful that Israels altar stood OF old
Where echoed once Araunah's threshing floor.

PERUVIAN SYRUP
PERUVIAN SYRUP
From Chas. II. Colgate. ESQ.

Of the firm of Colgate & Co., Manufacturers of Fla
voring extracts, 81 Blackstone Street, Boston.
SoMERvILLE, Mass, Dec. 6, 1876.
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Sons:
Gentlemen-Last spring my little daughter, aged
five, became very much emaciated with loss of
appetite and great prostraton of strength so much
SO that we were obliged to take her out of school,
This continued through the Summer, and caused us
much anxiety. After trying various remedies with
out deriving any benefit, our family physician
recommended the use of PERUVIAN SRRUP. After
using it one week we saw marked improvem ent in
the child's condition, and in a month she was
rapidly gaining in health and strength her appetite
being excellent. At this date she is perfectly well
with round, plump cheeks and healthy color and is
again attending school regularly. I consider her
restoration to health entirely due to the PERUVIAN
SYRUP, and feel that cannot too highly recon-
mend it as a tonic.
Very gratefully yours.

Incorrect.

An item is going the rounds OF the
press to the effect that ''the written con-
fession of Joel Glow, boss Mason, who
was hanged at Mount Holly, n. j., in
1888, for the murder of Miss Hamilton,
in Bordentown, has been found in vii.
mington, Del. He made a proposal of
marriage to Miss Hamilton, and upon her
refusal to accept him plunged dagger
into her breast seven times. After he
committed the deed he took laudanum to
destroy himself, but did not succeed. He
was afterwards found guilty and hung"
This item is incorrect SO far as it relates
to Wilmington, as no such confession has
been discovered in this city.

PACKARD APPOINTED TO THE LIVERPOOL
CoNsULATE-DEFEAr OF THE PRoPos-
ED TOBACCO TAX REDUCTION.
PAcKARD's APPOINTMENT.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The President
sent to The Senate to-day the nomination
of Mr.. Packard for United States consul
at Liverpool This position has always
been considered one of the most desira-
Bile in the gift of the government abroad.
To accept it, however, will necessitate
the withdraw of Mr.. Packard from all
participation in Louisiana politics. Thls
is what the anti-Packard wing of the re-
publican par y of Louisiana want, ana
and the President himself has for some
reason been anxious to get Mr.. Packard
out OF the country, as he long ago offered
him the choice of several positions in
the consular and diplomatic service.
But with Mr.. Packard 1t was the New
orleans collectorship or nothing. AS
Mr.. Packard is now, however, broken,
not only in spirit, but in pocket, it M ay
be with him as with the apothecary in
Romeo and Juliet Packard succeeds
Lucius Fairchild, of Wisconsin, who is
transferred to the consul-generalship at
Pans, Alfred 7. A. Torbert, of Delaware,
having been recalled from the last named
city. He was appointed to that position
about seven years ago, and was previous
ly consul-general at Havana, The salary
of each consulship is $1,000 per annum.
The fees, however, are very large.
ORDER OF AMERICAN UNION.
An address issued by the President of
the Senate of the Order of American Un-
ion, and understood TO embody the ideas
and the purposes of that order, has to-
day attracted some attention in political
circles. A large portion of the address
seems to be devoted to intemperats de-
nunciation of one of the religious organ
izations of the country, and is evidently
designed 10 STIR up anew the proscriptive
spirit of know-nothiugism, which in its
excesses so disgraced the politics of this
country twenty years ago.-Shrewd
politicians, whose judgment is general
ly relied upon, express the opinion that
the o. A. U. will not become a formda-
hle political organization. They think
that the issues which it undertakes to
present are not such as to draw practica
or int lhgent men to its support. The
o. A. L. therefore is not expected to be
come an important factor In our poll
tics.

Wilminxton speakers.

AT meeting held in Chester Pa, on
Saturday night, to discuss the interests of
the Banks Homestead Bill, now pend
ing in Congress, the principal speaker
was Geo. w. Roberts, night clerk in the
Wilmington post office, who made an
able address.
Geo. II Jackson, letter carrier OF
this city, also addressed the meeting on
the subject, dwelling more particularly
on the text of the bill, and during the
course of his remarks he alluded to Re-
preventative Ward as follows:
| believe Mr.. Ward is doing all in his
power for the people, and ! wish there
were more in Congress like him, al
though | differ with him in politics.
As Mr.. Ward is a Republican 1t be-
comes an interesting question TO learn
what Mr.. Jackson's politics are.
