To THE VOTERS OF THE 2ND WARD:
GEO. M. COCHRAN, Jr, will be voted for to
fill a seat in the Council from the End Ward
A better selection could not be made With
such a man as Capt. Cochran in the Council
the City would not sustain such losses as in the
matters of the Main Street improvement and
the property voted to the Ches. C Ohio r. r.
for he not only knows what is right but also
how to draw ordinances to carry his purposes
into effect. OF course he does not wish the DO

wish it; but we need his able services, and will
do wisely to seek them by eecting him.

We have just examined q copy of Smiths
"History of the Bible," which we find to be
book of extraordinary merid, being written by
the distinguished and popular autnor, VIM.
Smith, L. L. D., author of Smiths famous DIG
tionary of the Bible. We know OF no BOOK
which offers to the reader a greater or more au-
thentic store of Biblical knowledge in SO small
a compass. Ii it we find q full and complete
account of the manners, customs laws, observ-
ances, and geography of the Holy land, and Of
the nations that have inhabited it, The History
of the Apocryphal era forms an interesting Gnfr1
valuable feature of this work. enabling the
reader to connect the Old and New Testaments
intelligently and satisfactorily. 1t has been en-
dorsed by the most rigid critical reviews. This
valuable work is being sold eg subscription in
our city and county by Mr.. G. B. 1luptcn who
also sells very finely gotten-up Family Bible
at very low figures. We bespeak for Mr.. Lup-
ton liberal patronage from our citizens.

In the annual address of Bishop Whit
tie, read, OH Thursday last, to the Epis-
copal Council in session in Lynchburg,
he thus speaks of the round dance:
"In his address to the Council OF 1872
my yenerated predecessor earnestly
warned commandments against the in
consistency ofindulging in 50 denorali-
zing dissipation, which he denounced
as "that lascivious mode of promiscuous
dancing styled the round dance" "This
scandal" he said, ''is not to be tolerated
in the Church ofChrist Let every ap-
peal be made in the way of affectionate
remOnstrance, judicious teaching, aud
earnest prayer for the reformation Of
those led astrsy, if GOD peradventare
will give them repentance, If all such
efforts prove unavailing, and to remove
the scandal, and at the same time EN-
ploy the last expedient for awaking the
offender 10 a sense of his sin and danger,
it becomes necessary to resort to the ex-
ercise of decided discipline, it must be
done" I adopt this language as my
own that he, being dead, may yet speak
ON this important matter. Perhaps his
words struck some as being too strong
and harsh when they were first uttered
who think very differently now, after
years. observation and experience. Ger
tain it is that many of our Wisest and
best people, ministers and laymen, judg-
ling the tree by its fruit, have become
alarmed lest the. effect of this
DREADFUL EVIL.
Of round dancing shall he not only to
injure pure and indebted religion, but
even to sap the very foundations of all
social virtue and morality. I will not
discuss its character and consequences !;
for while st. Paul wrote to the church
in Ephesus. that it was q shame even to
speak of those things which were done
by some IN secret, should feel ashamed
even to speak as the truth would require
of this thing, which is done openly De-
fore dN. I will only say that trust no
man or woman will be presented for
confirmation who means Is continue to
participate in this denomination, and if
the mil listers of the Church have no au-
thority to discipline commandments as
notorious evil-lovers" who practice it,
surely this Council should not fell to
clothe tfem With such authority by can

A Hunk of Wisdom.
Carroll Conseryatiye,

s..
Human estimates of matters and
things are tallible, because in this
wide world of ours there are no two
individuals who think precisely alike
upon any matter which is brought to
their attention. 1t is true one man
may control many who acquiesce in
his views, and pretend to " think as
he does,n but all such characters
belong to the no thinking crowd. The
fact is, and will ever remain intact.
'Tis with our judgments as our watches,
none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
The newspaper-man should cer-
tainly CRY out and spare not, when
real danger exists and wrong-doing
threatens the State, but the constant
cry of wolf, wolf, does more harm
than good, and when we are asked to
join in it, we will invariably answer,
Oh, no.

Cheering Railroad Prospect.
New Orleans Democrat. May Z.

1t was pleasant to observe, yester-
day, the change in feeling aud the
buOyaney of spirits manifested by our
mercantile community, wrought by
the prospect of an early connection
by rail with Texas. The decision Of
the Supreme Court in the matter of
the New Orleans and Pacific Railroad
seems to have lifted from our people
dense cloud of doubt and distrust
which had settled upon their minds,
and opened up to their longing and
wistful eyes q pleasant vista Of future
prosperity and happiness. The gen.
eral impression seems to be that be-
fore eighteen months ellaround New
Orleans will be bound to Texas by
rails Of steel, and that two roads
Morgan's and tie Pacifie-wili vie
with each other in throwing info our
lap the iicb products Of that teeining
State and restoring to the Crescent
City her ancient commercial prestige
and reBowtI.

TACKL1NG THE WRONG ToM-CAr.

TACKLING THE WRONG TOM-CAT.
A man he owned terrier dog
A bob-tailed, ornery euss,
And that there pup got that there man
In many an ugly muss.
For the man was on his muscle
And the dog was on his bite;
And to kick the dorg goned animile
Was sure to raise fight.
A woman owned Thomas cat,
That fit at fifteen pound;
And other cats got up and slid
When that there cat was round.
The man and his dorg came along one day,
Where the woman she did dwell,
And the purp he grOwled ferociously,
Then went for that cat pell-mell.
He tried to chaw the neck of the cat,
But the cat he wouldn't be chawed,
So he lit on the back of that there dorg
And bit and chawed and clawed
Oh 1.-THE hair it flew and the purp he youled ;
As the claws went into his hide,
And chunks of flesh were peeled from his
side;
Then he flummexed, and kicked, and died
The man he ripped, and cursed, and swore,
AS he gathered a big brick-bat,
That he would be burned essentially
If he didn't kill that cat
But the old woman allowed she'd be blessed
if he did,
And snatched mp an old shotgun,
Which she fred and peppered his diaphragm
With bird-shot number one.
They toted him home on window blind,
And the doctor cured him up
But he was never known to fight again,
Or own another pup.
Folks may turn up their snoots at this here
ryhme,
don't care euss for that
All want to show is, that fighting dogs
May tackle the wrong Tom-cat.

When papers denounce the mem
bers of the Supreme Court, who are
as able, dignified and learned gentle
men as Louisiana possesses, and pro-
claim that decision which they have
given is infamous and scandalous,
thus endeavoring to bring into con-
tempt the respect which people should
have for law and the courts, they
need not be surprised if the masses OF
the people of Louisiana refuse to fol-
low them blindly.
