Business Meeting.-The Congre-
gational Society held business meet
ing at the basement, last Tuesday ev-
ening 1t was decided upon to submit
the question of renting the pews the
present year, to the congregation after
the morning service next Sabbath. If
carried, the rental will be credited up
on the subscription of lesses just so far
as it will apply. There are several
reasons why this course should be
pursued. and we are quite positive
there can be no serious objection to it.
Other business of importance was tram
sacted in the appointing of committees
&c, Our people may expect to be
called upon for the support Of the Cos
pei ard the consequent establishment
of social righteousness in our communi
ty. 1t isn't begging: it is collecting
just demand which every citizen owes
for the maintenance and building up
of tie truth. We hope to see the Ia
dies who have been chosen to solicit
funds, so successful at to preclude all
possibility of the question arising
again. How shall We manage to sup
port the church another year? The
fact is, every business man needs the
moral supporter the church in society to
aid hira in his legitimate business, and
it becomes IGSt< as necessary to the
successful prosecution Of his business,
as an honest and trustworthy clerk,
and deprived Of either his business will
go to the dogs, So help the church
interests and secure good to the city
in mere ways than one.

That Supper. = The ladies pre-
pared bountiful supper for the mem
bcrs Of the Temple. on the sly, at the
I. Of Ii. Reading Rooms last Friday
evening. Of course not pillar" in
the Temple knew of the good things
in store for him. 1t was kept so quiet
that only Mrs \, b, and G, knew it,
and they told only Mrs d, Z. and T.
that they might receive little help.
Mrs. G. II, and I, were Informed,
promising not to tell, which promise
they kept, excepting SO far as to just
speak Of it to Mrs j. X, and i.
These were all who knew Of it; so, of
course, it didn't get out. But weren't
the bows surprised when they were re-
Iucsted to partakc after the session
had close at the Temple. About
sixty marched up in rat-tail file. and
found long tables just groaning with
good things 1t seemed as though
the ladies had exhausted all resources
to make :, success of the enterprise.
The tables were a storchouSe of ex-
cellcncies, and there were score o.
most excellent wives, mothers and sis
tiers ready to wait upon the three score
who ate, and ate. till not one was an
hungered. Everybody had good
time There was more fun to the
square inch than could be measured
by the arithmetic of appetite. Several
had to lie ehokcd Diligently, of
course but there were these present
who felt like laying down their lives
for their brothers. The most notable
example of life-saving were the rescu-
ing of the Tribune staff and our eff
cnt County Clerk. We believe neither
! Of the parties had had mouthfui OF
good yictuals since Christmas. We
know We saved Frank life. Only a
special providence saved Jack from a
mound IN the cemetery. Frank was
encouraging Jack, with an eye on 4
Saleable lot therein, when pillaress
took Jack gently by the top knot and
led him to secure spot, while he
hungercd and pitiously cried Tor more

The County Board.

4
convened at the Court House, or
Tuesday of last week, and transacted
considerable business. Many bills
were audited and new town Grated
The territory out of which the town OF
Rock was organized, is the south half
Of the town of Lincoln.
A motion to direct the County
Treasurer to endorse upon the back of
each tax certificate without recourse, -
was passed after some discussion. We
know. positively, that the passage of
this resolution will work disadvant-
ageously to the best interests of the
county. The consequence will be the
depression of county orders and the
accumulation OF certificates in the
county's safe. Other counties are
making progress while our is retarded
by conservative procedures which work
constantly to our detriment.
The trouble is, that some members
Of the county Board have no con-
ception of what is good county legis
lation. We have no doubt that some
of the members are totally ignorant OF
the effect to be produced by the pas
sage Of the motion alluded to, while
others are too easily controlled by the
"oratory' Of certain ones who exert
influence by 4 system of oratorical
bulldozing, which is chronic because
self beneficial. Each man on the
county board ought to exercise his
Judgment, and think for himself, and
give George Hiles the same privilege
When the King Of Dexterville pro-
poses to furnish brains for ma ority
of the board, it would be but proper
thing to do to advise the gentleman
that the county's interests are to be
looked after, and not his individual in
terests. Perhaps it would be we'll to
make Georg4 the representative for the
whole county. We'd save money, and
George could write over or telegraph
what his wishes are, and have them
entered upon the record. Such an
arrangement would save timo and
money.
The Board adjourned to Feb. 10.

Frost and Fever.

During the past week the reports from
the yellow fever region have been moro
and more distressing, and the number
of victims in Memphis especially steadi-
ly increased until Monday. But at last
there is hope OF a spcedier extinction Of
the plague than was at first looked for.
kilograms from Grenada, Nicksburg, and
Cairo tell Of sharp frosts, and Il consc-
quent decrease in the number Of deaths
and mitigation in the virulcncc of the
fever. The value of early frosts to the
lower Mississippi Valley is simply meal
culable. They will save thousands of
lives and millions Of money. Mean
while, charity with open hand and warm
heart is pouring money into the plague
stricken towns. The tears thai find their
well-spring in human sympathy have
washed out and oblitcratcd the dividing
lines which sectional ~jcalousics, party
oppression and the horrors of war had
made; and North and South for the pres
ent feel that after all they are both made
Of one blood. Whatever politicians may
say to the contrary, the great heart of the
North throbs with that of the South,
Witness the magnificent gift made by
New York to New Orleans and her af.

The Commune III America.

Twelve months ago the world was
startled by the violence and extent Of the
labour riots in Pittsburg, Baltimore and
other American towns. Those riots
wrote in letters of blood the terrible story
OF the distress and desperation of the
working classes in the industrial centres
Of the North. Congress wisely appointed
a committee to examine into the causes OF
labour troubles, and that committee,
with Mr.. Hewitt as chairman, has called
before it workingmen to give testimony.
We give a resume of their testimony in
another column, Our readers will find
it very interesting. 1t shows how crude,
wild, and absurd are the hopes and plans
of the communistic leaders. 1t shows
also that workingmen are not the best
judges of their W needs, any more than
the sick man is the best judge of his own
disease or the necessary medicines.
