A Mortgage.

In the whole range of sacred and
profane literature, perhaps there is
nothing recorded which has such
staying pr0pcnsi6ies as a god
healthy mortgage. 1t can be de-
pended upon to stick closer than a
brother. 1t has a mission that
never lets up. Day after day ii is
right there, nor does the slightest
tendency to slumber impair its vigor
in the least. Nighta day, on the
Sabbath, and at holy times. without
a moments time for rest and recre-
alton, the biting offspring of its ex-
Observation-Disclosures on. The sea-
sons may change, day run into
Weeks, weeks into months, and
months be swallowed up into
years, but the mortgage stands up
in sleepleSs vigilance, with the in
terest a perennial stream, ceaselessly
flowing on.
Like a huge nightmare eating out
the sleep ofsome restless slumberer,
the unpaid mortgage rears up its
grand front to the miserable person
who is held within its pitiless clutch.
1t holds the poor victim with the
relentless grasp Of giant; not one
hour Of recreation; not a moments
evasion of its hideous presence. A
genial savage, modifying its aspect
while the interest is paid; n. very
devil of hopeless destruction when
the payments fail.

ChiIdren's bedrooms.

Lady Barker recommends airy
bedrooms for children. She says:
"The fOndest and fussiest parents
do not always understand that on
the most careful attention and sim
pie rules depend the straightness of
children's spines, the strength of
their limbs, their freedom from
coughs and colds, and in fact their
general health. But few consider
that half of young child's life
should be spent in its bed. So that
unless the atmosphere of the room
they sleep in, the quality of the bed
they lie on, and the texture of the
clothes that cover them, are taken
into consideration, it is. only half
of their existence which is being
cared for.

THE General Conference, at its
late session, requested the Bishops
to appoint a Week of Prayer in the
month of August. Bishop McTyeire
requests, us to say that the College
of Bishops has appointed the week
beginning August ID. This will be
Friday, and will be observed as a
day of fasting and prayer. We
presume our brethren, generally,
throughout the connection, will
make their arrangements for the
due observance of this solemnity.
The General Conference was moved
to request it by the remembrance of
signal blessings which resulted from
similar observances in the past
Christian AdUOcdte.

THE San Francisco correspondent
of the New York Tribune does not
fancy Kearney, the head-devil of
the California communists and chief
of the Nationals. He says the eX-
drayman can Out-cuss a generation,
and that "the Three Persons of the
Trinity in every conceivable COM
binatiOn with the neither regions
and their inhabitants garnish his
periods. In fact, he treats the
capitalists of California exactly as
he would his team in a mud-hOle."

mnrriage of John G. I

Marriage of John G. Fremont, Jr.
The facts concerning the marriage
of Mr.. Fremont and Miss Ander-
son, which has been so widely dis
cussed, are simply these: In OctO-
Der last Mr.. John G. Fremont, jT.,
ensign in the United States navy,
was married to Miss Sallie Ander-
son, the only daughter of Mrs. An
derson, of Washington, d. G. Miss
AndersOn's father was Il surgeon in
the regular army. Her full name
is Mary Sarah Anderson, which
may account for the report that Mr..
FremOnt's bride was Miss Mary
Anderson, the actress. The marri-
age was kept a secret until about
the first of June, when Mrs. Ander-
son and her. daughter came TO New
York, expecting to sail for Europe.
Mr.. Fremont, who is stationed on
the POwhattan at the Brooklyn
navy-yard, called on his wife and
her mother. The two went out for
a short walk and evidently decided
to change their former plans, for
upon their return the young hus-
band appeared before his mother
in-law to claim, for the first time,
her daughter as his wife. He pro-
duced the marriage certificate, and
the trip to Europe was abandoned.
The same day he telegraphed the
fact of his marriage to his brother
in Washington. Mr.. Fremont was
appointed to the naval academy in
1868 and was graduated in 1872.
He first was ordered for duty on
board the Warbash, and for three
years has been aboard the Pow
hatan.

THE Democratic Congressiona

THE Democratic Congressional
Committee have not yet made any
largepreparatiOn for the coming can
vass this fall. Members who have
heretofore subscribed literally to
the general fund, state that their
means will be applied locally this
year in aiding to return Representa-
tives from the close districts, which
they regard as more effective mode
of campaigning than by the circula-
ton Of political documents. The
hard times are felt severely in the
collection of money for political pur-
poses.

Mr.. Galusha, one armed soldier,
living near Aurora, ILL.,, recently
found the bones of his lost arm in a
Vicksburg, Miss, cemetery, where
they had been buried after the
seige. He identified the lost arm
by ring found on 4One of the fin
gers and preserved, the ring being
numbered to correspond with the
number of the little grave in which
nothing but the arm was inferred.

An unsat,seaetorx Fina,e.

Congressman Acklen's cards are
very profuse and his statements are
well backed up. 1t seems that there
was no foundation whatever for the
scandal concerning him. The pub
lie will regret to learn that Mr.. Ack-
len had sought the hand of the lady
whose name has been mixed up in
this matter, both before and after
the occurrence alleged to have taken
place at Welcker's. On both occa-
sions the proposition was declined.
This throws an air of sadness over
this bit Of romance.-BdltiDlOre Ga
