Dream Religion.

In the New York Witness of Sep
tember the 10Th appeared an able
and sensible article under the above
title, and written by the Rev. A. f.
P. Albert, pastor Of the colored NJ.
f. Church of HOnma. Mr.. Albert
gives a long description of the su-
perstitious fears and beliefs that ex-
ist among his people, who, through
ignorance and the disgraceful prac
tises of. sO-called witch doctors,
are led tn believe in the dOings and
mis- doings of evils siprits, satan and
professional cOnjurers.
In reference to pastors, the writer
says: "Indeed it has so many vota-
ries that it's Influence does not only
permeate churches aud communities,
but it invades the saLctum of many

clemens in this degrading system.
Some even pretend to interpret their
dreams for them, aud give them
spiritual slBnlncatiOn.
The evils referred to above are,
unfortunately, too true, The evils
exist, aud it remains with gentleman
like Mr.. Albert to Oyerthr.w those
foolish and Imaginary beliefs-be-
lieis which are not only wrong in
themselves, but contrary to the wise
teachings of holy writ. 1t is high
time that something should be done
to enlighten those poor deluded peo-
pie, and we advise cOlored preachers,
instead of seeking political nOtoriety,
to follow in the lead of the Rev. MIR.

Mr. Fowler Crossing the

A curious project was recently car

the Channel on a podoscaph, 6 me

po,loscaph, which is Joined by rods,

enced contrary wind and heavy
swell during a great part of the
j. urney. The pilots and fishmen
were surprised at seeing a man walk

bold navigator was met with loud
acclamations. He arrived at Folke-
stone somewhat fatigued. During
the crossing, which lasted 12 hours.
the only refreshment he took was "a
little coffee and small piece of
bread. The state of the sea pre-
vented bis stopping. The feat was
accomplished to the satisfaction of
everyday, and is a st, liking proof Of
energy and boldness. Mr.. Fowler is

The newspapers of to-day is the
marvel OF the century, says a New
York clergyman. 1t is miracle of
system. 1t is a monument OF I'M

foresight and insight. It not only
stirs our gratitude--it cOmpels our
respect. We may we'll take off our
hats in the presence of the newspa-
per, it represents so many praise
worthy qualities. BY its instru-
mentality everybody is next door

our sympatllies, naturalizes us in

A curious feature Of Indian raids
is the fact that railway tracks are
rarely torn up or telegraph wires
cut. The renegade Cheyennes have
several times crossed the Pacific
roads, the past two weeks. but have
not disturbed them. Thus far all
telegraph lines have also escaped
damage from Indians. The first
thing white raiders do in an enemy's
country is to cut these great avenues
of communication. The Indians,
however, either from superstition OF
ignorance, seem to studiously avoid
interfering with them.

-"0UT DAMNED SPoTT'-The Primary

evening of last week, to o'"draw" 1t in the

people-it was a fine sample of the lowest of
the New York or Philadelphia ward meet
ings, even the stuffing of the ballot-box
(hat), was freely INDUCED in. And this lat
ter fact is, and can be, vouched for by good
and intelligent citizens. The majority OF
the nominations were made by the same per-
sons, and those of the least influential among
us, and as soon as their favorites were named
a motion to close the nominations followed,
thus almost precluding the nomination OF
an opponent to their choice. We again re-
