cd. Corporations are discovering that
their securities and management are be-
ing questioned. Politicians find that
their constituents demand something
beside buncombe. Churches are learn
ing that magnificent architeesure and
big debt do not represent spiritual
force.
We believe 1t is due to the popular
disgust at the old order Of things, that
in this still dull year for business the
people have wiped out an aggregate of
q million and a half of dollars in church
debts. 1t is, despite some objections
BILE features in the method, the first and
best sign of revival of courage. II we
are to take new start, on the basis of
reality, it is eminently right and becom-
ing that our Christian churches should
set the example. We have had balloon
ing enough. Let the movement for
ward be made with feet planted on the

A Red-RibbOn Story.

Anamusing mistake occurred the other
night at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, tenn
perance meeting. An old soldier had
signed the pledge, and was telling his
experience. He said at one time dur
ing the late war he got possession of
two kegs of whisky, took them to camp,
put faucet in one of the kegs, and
passed the whisky around among the
boys until they got pretty full. About
the time the first keg was empty, he
said, for moment his conscience told
him he was doing wrong, but it was
only moment He picked up an AK
and knocked the head of the other keg
in and-here he was interrupted by the
deacons starting the cry of "Amen,"
" Thank God," "Glory be to Cod"
After the house became quiet he con-
tinued: 81 knocked in the head of that
keg, gave the boys lineup and told
them to help themselves" The con-
clusion of the story was SO much differ
emit from what was expected, that it
brought down the house with laughter.

Married in q Stable.

Two young people arrived on an af-
ternoon train in the city yesterday.
They walked hurriedly up Ludlow
Street, and, stopping at Fourth, they
turned to Mumma's livery stable, and
inquired of the proprietor If they could
have a horse and buggy for q few hours.
He assured them that vehicle was at
their disposal.
The young man seemed somewhat
fluried and in doubt. After looking at
the lady for a moment, he turned to
Mumma again, and inquired, rather
falteringly:
"You haven't got any place here
where we can get married, have your"
Somewhat taken aback, Mr.. Mumma
looked at them moment, then scratch
ed his head, and replied;
"Well, I've got sort of parlor right
here that I can fix up for you in three
minutes. It's carpeted, got sofa in it
and lots Of pictures; better looking
place than many you'll find"
"That will do splendidly," said the
young man. Scan you get us a minis
terp"
"In five minutes," said Mr.. Mumma.
"Well, III 60 and get q license, and,
my DEAR" said he to the lady, "you
remain here till return"
In ten minutes the young man was
back with his license. Mr.. Mumma
was at hand with Rev. W. J. Shuey, and
in five minutes John Henry Gibbard and
Frank Bancroft were man and wife.
The young man drew . sigh Of relief,
looked at the lady, and paying no atten-
ton to those about him, put his arms
around her and imprinted fond kiss
on her lips that was returned as fondly,
and whispered in her ear, "Safe, dar-
ling"
"Would you like to have marriage
certifcatep" asked the minister.
ooh, no; we don't care for that, so
long as we're married.. 10 wo'

The lady nodded acquiescently.
"Now we want to ride about for an
hour, but be back in time for the Gin
cinnati train"
"Here's your buggy, " said Mr.. Num-
ma. ...U..
They returned in an hour, and left on
the train at the Union Depot bound for
Cincinnati. The last words they were
heard to utter, as he Rugged her affec-
tionately to his side, were:
"We're safe now, Frankie" and she
looked up into his eyes confidingly and
replied:

Hard-pan.

One of the brightest signs OF the
times, and which proves that the ten
denotes of things to-day are, in the main,
healthy, is that the people are growing
to love facts. The reign of gilt and sham
is over. For years they have ruled the
nation. Sham architecture, sham
piety, sham patriotism, sham socialism
were everywhere. The whole financial
structure of the country, for decade,
has been based on sham. False valu-
atoms have been put on property.
Houses have been valued at fifty thou
sand dollars when their real value was
twenty thousand. Building lots have
been priced at two dollars foot when
fifty cents foot was all that they were
actually worth. Fortunes have been
made on paper; regulations have been
bolstered up by pretension. Public men
have taken the applause OF their
clacguers as II it furnished solid foun-
dation for fame. Speculative valua-
tons, fictitious estimates and self
pufery have given tone to Ameri-
can society. The dog has had his
day; but his day, thank heaven, i
at last over. The old New England
realism of judgment and opinion Il
once more taking possession of its throne
and the people are returning to theil
old-fashioned loyalty. The wealth o

The Mississippi Route.

The Davenport Qowa) Gazette OF the
9Th inst. says: yesterday the grain
firm of Boatwright, Fernald & Co., in
this city, sold 5000 bushels of wheat to
j. w. Adams & Co., of st. Louis, for
direct shipment from this port to Liv-
erpool. This quantity does not go
alone, for another 5000 bushels was
picked up from among several grain
dealers. The 10000 bushels is to be
loaded on a barge, towed to st. Louis,
where it will be put with tow OF five
barges, and so be taken to New Orleans,
and transferred to an ocean vessel bound
for Liverpool. What is the freight rate
from Davenport to Liverpool Why,
Just 40 cents per 100 pounds; the same
rate of grain by railroad from Deven-
port to New York City! Though now
and then wheat will be taken from this
city to New York by rail for So cents
per 100 pounds. But think of wheat
conveyed from this city to Liverpool for
only 5 cents more than the rail rate to
New York Harborl Who can estimate
the value Of the Mississippi route to the
sea and Europe, to Iowa and the North
west, with that facility of Transports
ton and that tariff to Liverpool Why,
wen have New York prices right here
at home, for wheat and corn, with such
a state Of things, before long-Provid-
ing the railroads leading to the Missis-
sippi give q reasonable rate to the great

IT has been reserved for q French
man, M. Paul Soleillet, to breach the
project of building railroad across the
so-called Desert of Sahara to Timbuctoo,
and beyond. M. Paul has satisfied HIM
self that it is perfectly feasible, and that
it would be paying investment. In
paper read before the Society of Civil
Engineers at Paris he estimated the cost
atabout eight hundred millions Of francs.
The common notion of the Sahara, he
said, was wholly erroneous; the climate
was healthful and the soil good; in the
days of the Carthagenians it was
peopled and cultivated. In short, his
proposed road, besides opening new
markets for French wares and carrying
civilization on wheels into the very
heart of Africa, would result immedi-
ately in the reclamation of fertile
region as large as the whole of Europe,
with Russia left out. This alone would
pay the interest on the eight hundred
millions.

Breech-lOading Cannon.

Military museums afford abundant
proof af the antiquity Of breech-loading
cannon. The precise construction OF
the guns used at the battle Of Crecy can
only be conjectural, but breech-loaders,
certainly as old as the Tudor period,
and one probably of the time of Henry
VI, are still to be seen at the Museum
of the United Service Institution. There
lie the old guns, breech-pieces, and all,
which sunk in the Mary Rose, and
which, by their rough workmanship, ac-
count for the accidents which ofttimes
befell ancient bombardiers. 1t was those
accidents which probably led to the
abandonment of the breech-loading sys-
tenn, and the employment of muzzle-
leaders for the last two centuries. The
old cast-iron gun may be seen at Wool
wich and other places in its original
form, and also in the various stages OF
conversion into the weapon for the mo-
ment in favor.-AU the Year Round.

THE facade of the United States Sec
ton of the Paris exhibition promises to
be exceedingly effective. The canvas
screens, which it has been found nee
essary to stretch across the roof, are
now in position, and will bear favorable
comparison with any thing of the kind
in the exhibition. Each screen bears
the name and device of one of the States
of the Union, and in the centre is
grand design representing the arms OF
the United States. The colors are very
bright and the ornamental designs very
chaste and effective. The designs on
the screens are so arranged as to form
lines running the whole length of the
building, so as to draw out the perspec-
tive line and make the United States
section appear as long as possible.

But the fierce courte sizes OF the Rus
SLAMS are received with timidity and
alarm in Constantinople. England de-
sires to defend Turkey; Turkey does
not want to be defended. With a pistol
at her ear, she exclaims that she is per-
fectly satisfied. Indeed (under what
domestic pressure we can not tell, Tur-
KEY has put forth card, so to speak, i'm
forming the world that she accepts the
results of the war-but hopes to be let
off easy. Russia, Disgusting her designs
under various philsnthropic hypocrisies,
has conquered Turkey. Great Britain,
concealing her selfish chagrin under an
appearance of indignation at the i'll
treatment of Turkey, offers to avenge
the Mussulman and set all things
right in the interest of justice
and humanity. Between the bois-
ferrous friendship of the Russian and the
tardy and dangerous championship OF
the Briton, Turkey is at her wits end
All she asks is to be let alone. But
neither one nor the other will let her
alone. Aside from all diplomatic finesse

Who is NV NeighbOr!

Your nearest neighbor is often the little
hlndering child, who comes up to you with
his plea of " Read to me- " Talk to me, -
" Tell me a story" Just when you are most
interested in some work of your own. 1t is
often the servant in your kitchen, who rises
early in the morning, makes the fire, sweeps,
bakes, scrubs, and relieves you of so much
of the hard drudgery of life. You pay her
wages of course, yet think you owe her
something beyond them, which is never
rightly paid if you fail to let her feel that
she is at home in your house, and that you
care whether she is sick or well, prosperous
or afflicted, improving as she grows older,
or remaining always ignorant and narrow
minded. 1t is possible to so treat servant
that she shall become your faithful friend,
performing her stipulated offices with a
loyal alacrity instead of with a grudging
calculation of how little may be done, but
it is possible only to those who realize what
is meant by love to the neighbor Iom
neighbor, again, may be the seamstress who
works for you, and who is, 50 far as you are
concerned, fesh-and-blood sewing-machine
aud no more. Without making of her your
social equal, or your confidential adviser
you can manage to brighten her days, If you
care to do so. A flower on the window-sll

not avail ourselves of them unless we have
a heart at leisure for sympathy. We mus

Acquainted with God.

Acqu intance with God is a real thing
as real as is acquaintance with fellow-man.
In becoming acquainted with friend, we
learn his traits OF character, his way of work
ing, his manner of speech, the meaning of
each change Of his countenance. A thou
sand things attaching 10 person which are
unmeaning or misleading TO strangers, are
full OF import and as plain as daylight TO
those who know him and are in sympathy
with him. When the father returns home
at evening, the wife aud the children gather
about him, and read his face at glance.
They know whether he is worried, whether
the day has been trying one, whether he is
pleased or displeased. They learn also what
he wants, whether he would prefer 10 talk
or to be left alone, whether he wants his
slippers or his cup of tea. All this because
they are acquainted with him. We say, and
truly, of the unconverted man, that "he
does not know the Lord" When he be
comes regenerate, God is no longer an entire
stranger TO him. Still how slight the ac.
quaintance is But it is in his power To
grow more and more acquainted with the
Lord, till he may with truth, like the patri
arch OF old, be called "the friend of God.
The result of this acquaintance is seen in
several ways. When he speaks TO the Lord
in prayer, you feel that he is communlng
with friend. On the other hand the Lord
communicates with him as he does not with
! the world at large. The disciple gathers the

Of this palm tree that he found shadow
from the heat. This was the deep well out
of which he drank his endless consolation
lie needed no other. To be able to com
prehend with all saints the breadth and
length, the height and depth of this love,
was his aim aud TO know that love which
passeth knowledge was the sum of his pray
ers This love is our refuge too-our true
aud quiet home. The knowledge of this
love Is perfect peace. We sit down and let
this love breathe freely into us, and straight
way all is calm. Each storm has gone TO
rest, each gust has died away. Love beyond
all loves, IN greatness, in freeness and in
efficacy Gifted with strange power of
soothing and healing and comforting lie
who has possession of this love has got hold
OF hidden spell, mighty TO charm away all
heavines of heart, all bitterness of soul
What can withstand it? In this love are
all the loves of earth gathered up and cen
tered 1t is "a fathers love, yet far beyond
the love OF an earthly father, 1t is g
brothers love, yet passing lar above it, II
is bridegroom's love, as the song of Solo
mon shows us, but tenderer than the love o
mortal bridegroom. 1t is husbands love
yet truer and more faithful than the love OF
the truest aud most faithful husband upol
earth. 1t is IA love without beginning anC
without end-a love without any interming
hing seltishness, or jealousy, or coldness, or for
getiulness, or weariness-a love without in
termission; a love without fekleness, a low
without decay. y."-.Seiected
