II COLORED CHILD MARVEL.

A late issue of tho Lo uisville
Ny) Co,rier-Journ,al says: There
is now in Louisville negress who
is perfect child-wonder. Sho is q
scriptural marvel. She does not
even know her letters, yet she can
quote accurately almost any passage
in the Bible.
At the ago of nine months she
could talk, and would frequently
tell her mother what hef idea of
heaven was. AS she grew older she
would sit for hours and expatiate
on the beauties and glories of the
other world. The old colored folks
would listen to her sayings for
hours.
At the ago of three years she
began to lecture on heaven, it's
wonders, on God and His omnipo-
tent power. She has lectured in
many places, and has creatod o
turore in every place she has yet
visited. The prodigy lect,irod at
the York street colored church yes
terday afternoon, and at night spoke
to q large crowd at tho Green street
colored church. Her speech was
good, and her delivery impressive.
A reporter of the Courier f-Jour.
naS interrogated her last night.
"What is your name, little girl 2"
"Alice Coatny."
elbow old are you?"
else just four years and twenty.
eight days old Tonight"
"Where were you born7"
81 was born in Liverpool, Eng
land-'cross dc Atlantic
GLOW long since you felt tho
power within you? ?"
Il don't know; Ise always felt the
power of God"
"What DO you talk about when
you speak to q crowd?"
81 talk about Jesus, about heav-
emily things, about how Jesus died
and was crucified; how lie rose
again in three days and siLteth on
the right hand of God"
'Can you spell ?"
"No, sir 1 don't know my A, B,
Us yet.
She then went on in rapturous
strain about things biblical and
spiritual, completely nonplusing the
reporter.
She was accompanied by two col-
ored men. They talked in an en-
thusiastic manner about her. She
said in her conversation that she
believed in two kinds of bapt;sms.
She spoke of the different modes OF
salvation how to reach Paradise ;
how to be converted from bad man
to q good one, etc. Her sayings
were entirely original, and were not
spoken in hesitating voice but in
a quick, keen and forcible manner.
AS young as she is, negress, with
out education in the principles she
sets forth, her power partakes
strongly of the marvellous.

The New York Graphic summing
up the result of the elections last
week says: THE Democrats have
all the real advantage in Tuesdays
elections. They have in each case
captured the stronghold. In Ohio
the choice of State officers was OF
no great direct moment. The bone
of contention was the Congressional
delegation. And the control of this
was important, not only in aiding to
secure Democratic majority to
organize the next House, but in
securing tho vote of Ohio for the
Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency, in cnse the election is thrown
into the House, This prize has
been obtained. The Republicans
will not only be in numerical mi-
nority, but the Democrats will
control clear majority of
the Confessional delegations, so
that in case of an election by
tho House the Democratic candi-
date is certain to be chosen. They
have now nineteen States sure, and
only require one, which they are
sure to get"

waiting for the fire and birthstone
tempest of tho Lord God, who
overwhelmed tho Cities of the Plain.
Wo want about fifty men like
Anthony ComstoclS, who walked into
that Moloch temple, that brown
stone hell on earth, that place of
the damned on Fifth avenue, and in
the name of the eternal God put an
end to it, it's priestess retreating by
suicide into the lost world, her
bleeding carcass found in her own
bathtub. May the eternal God
have mercy on our cities Sin,
gilded sin, comes down from these
high places into the upper circles of
iniquity, and then on, gradually
down, until in three or five years it
makes the whole prilgrimage, from
tho marble pillar on the brilliant
avenue to the collars Of Water
street.
INCoMPATIBILITY OF TEMPER.
My friends, there has got to be q
reform in this matter or American
society will go to pieces. Under the
head of ''incompatibility of temper"
nine- -tenths of the denominations go
on. What did you get married for
if your dispositions are incompati-
ble? You say, 81 rushed into it
without thought" Then you ought
to be willing to suffer punishment
tor making q fool of yourself.
Laughter. You aro responsible
for at least half tho incompatibility.
In 800 cases out Of 1000 that is q
phrase to cover up wickedness
already enacted. Heads of families
support these iniquities. L wish
there might be police raid lasting
a great while to gather from these
places of sin all the prominent citi-
zens and march them down through
the street, followed by about twenty
reporters - [Laughter] - to take
their names and put them in full
capitals in tho next days paper.
[Applause'] And I would like to
go along, too. Great laughter.
In six months there would be
eighty per cent. less of crime. It is
not so much the young men and tho
boys that need to be looked after.
1t is their fathers and mothers.
Laughter. Let the heads of fami-
hes cease to patronize places of
iniquity and in q short time they
would crumble into ruin. New
York wants indignation me etings to
compel the authorities to do their
work and send the police with re-
volvers and lanterns to turn off tho
colored lights Of the dance house,
and mark for confiscation their
trunks, wardrobes, furniture and
scenery, and gather up all the
keepers, inmates and patrons and
march them to the Tombs with fife
and drum sounding the "Rogue's
March" Laughter. I tell you
there are raging underneath our
great cities Cotopaxi, a Stromboli,
Vesuvius ready to bury under
deep ashes our cities, ashes and
scoria deeper than that which
wholmed Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Now is the time to make extirpa-
tion Of iniquity. Now is the time
for great popular crusade, and for
all the people Of our cities, in great
popular assemblages, to say to the
police authorities, "Go ahead and we
will back you with our lives, our
fortunes and our sacred honor"

A USELESS WORK.

Sioux City Journal

The old Missouri got its nose under the
willow armor of the river bank yesterday,
aud ploughed another hole, just as a remin.
der Of what it has done and may do again.
The work recently completed by the general
government for the protection of the bank
consists, as We have already explained, in a
system of willow mats, about three feet in
thickness spread upon the bottom of the
river and up the bank to- the surface, and
from here up bundles Of willows, known az
%fascine, ale laid closely together and held
down by stone. For several weeks a chan
mel has been gradually forming on the Ne
braska side of the river, until. nov about
one-third of the water flows there, the other
twt-thirds flowing close to the Sioux CITY
shore, while the bar up and down the cen.

tier of the stream has raised almost, and IN
places quite out Of the water. When the
steamer Peninah came down from her last
trip, in turning around to come into the
bank she grounded fast on this bar, aud tia
only way to get her of was TO knd ASline
ashore and haul her in. Dragging her
across the bar seems to have started a chan
mel in its track and the water has worked
through and been cutting deeper and
wider until yesterday almost the en-
tire stream that flow1 down the
Nebraska side, was making the turn
across the bar, and striking with a tremen-
dous current plump into the bank on this
side. About Z O'clock. yesterday morning
the river found q weak spot about the willow
mattresses at a point opposite the passenger
depot and worked under them enough to let
them drop a little. This left an opening be-
tween the mattresses and the fascineA,. and
the current striking infagainst. the quick
sand bank soon ripped out the brush, and
tore an ugly hole in the bank.
The most damage, however, was did at
the foot of Pierce street later in the day /.
The steamer Helena, which lies there was
thrown out into the stream In such q way
that an eddy was formed between It and
the shore and the whirllpg curleat under
mined the mattresses aud found its' way to
the cath in the, same way as-below. Tue
cross current struck here more squarely,
however, and from the time 1t commenced
to cut, II o'clock, until l o'clock p. m ,
nearly fifty feet had been Clipped of.
There it quit of its W accord aud up to
dark last night had done no more damage.
Engineer Yonge, Who had supervision OF
the government work aud is yet in the city
was on the spot as soon as notified, and al
once took such measures to repair the
damage as be cohld with the funds vet at
his command. He has but little Of the ap.
preparation left and the city will have to
look after 1t In the main. Mayor Jackson
has already taken action, and will have
men at work to day driving piles and fill
ing in brush. Mr.. Yopge does not think
the matter serious. After the mattresses
become.bedded there will be very much
'ess likelihood of such an occurrence again.
According to the plan the work is but par
TALLY finished. All has been done that
could be accomplished at present xith the
small appropriation but if congress this
winter grants the amount Recommended
by Mr.. Yonge, about $33, 900, the job can
be completed TO, stay. Ii the present work
will hold until the other is available it will
be all that is asked of it.. s .Eaap

The November elections have brought
about q result in the north somewhat unex.
pected, but nevertheless gratifying to the
members of the republican party. In the
south is 1t none the less satisfactory to the
opposition. The two sections are politi-
cally arfayed against each other, the lines
of political difference being more closely
drawn than ever before: The victory to
the republican party of the north does not
bring to it a sufficient strength to enableit
todirect the legislation Of tie country. Its
gains in congressman are but little more
than its losses by the October elections, 30
far as results have been positively given.
Out Of the results of the October and Nov
ember elections the Chicago Times makes
up a table showing tho political division Of
the lower house. Of the next congress, In
which it gives the republicans 1873 men,
bers, the democrats 1856 members and the
nationals six members. These figures will

victories to the republican party, is the be-.

loyal element Of the American people. For
years they have been demorslized by dis
tresses of various sorts and have been in.
dulging in a series of political experiments
with the hope that relief might come out of
them. The soft money craze has been a
disturbing agent, and they have dallied with
communism and socialism. Brought face to
