Anthony Comstock had seized
twenty tons of bad literature, yet not
oil bad literature was gripped by
the law. Parlors and libraries
were full of it, and children retire
and read it with the gas jet swung
near to their pillows. It exists
under the title of scientific informa~
ton, and under this guise one ven--
der in single hotel disposed of q
hundred copies of an infamous book
selling them all to women. ''Shame." !"
cried Mr.. Talmage, "on women who,
when they cnn get all useful infor-
nation from the family physician,
wade chin deep in abomination like
this. BE not deceived, Though
they bear tho marks of eminent
New York and philadelphia pub
fishers, they all come hot from the
neither world" As for novelottcs
nobody who read them, Mr.. Tai
mage said, could keep either integ-
rity or virtue. He pursued ploas-
antly, 100000 men and women in
the United States to-day are read
ing themselves into hell" The
leprous book sellers had gathered up
catalogues Of girls seminaries and
boys schools and sent their circu-
lars of death to every one without
exception. "There is no ono who
hears me-" said Mr.. Talmage, nwho
hasn't had offered to him or her a
bad book or bad picture"
Gate second was the dissolpte
dance, Mr.. Talmage said that
there was dissolute dance which
was pursued both in the haunts oi
death and in elegant mansions.
You know" he cried, swhat pos
lures and motions are suggested by
the devil" HIS continued that the
dissolute dancer slid into the dis
solute dance over an inclined plane,
swifter and swifter and wilder, until
with spood Of light he whistlpd off
the edge of dissolute life into a
fiery future. No one had right
to take position to music which he
would he ashamed to take WITHOUT
music. "No Chickering grand of
city parlor," was Mr.. Talmage's q
climax upon this Gate, "or fiddle of
m"un'nin picnic can consecrate that
which God hath cursed"
Gate third, indiscreet apparel.
Mr.. Talmage had been told that
there was now fashion coming
from Paris WHICH was shocking to
all righteousness. Multitudos of
men owed their eternal damnation
to tho boldness of female attire,
Gate four, alcoholic beverage
The captive Of the wine cup was
also the captive of all other vices,
which went in focks like carlion
crows, SO that when you saw that
beak ahead you might know that
other beaks were coming. Courts
and Legislatures swung wide open
this creaking, stupendous gate of
the lost.
In the coming war TO be wagad
against the Gates Of He'll. Mr..
Talmago said that the Christian
press was to be the battering ram,
that the pulpits wore to be arranged
in a storming line, and that Goods

of the contest"
Thus Mr.. Talmage came only to
tbe Gates, and left the wonders Of
the interior still unexplored.

Equal TO THE Occasion.
CARTS are generally easy to be
scared. A French shoemaker, fond
of boasting that nothing could
frighten him, proved an exception
to the rule. Two young fellows
resolved to put him to the test, so
one slammed dead, and the other
prevailed upon the shoemaker to
watch the body through the night.
Being busy, he took his tools with
him and worked beside tho corpse.
About midnight cup of black
coffee was brought to him to keep
him awake, and he was 80 exhilarat-
ed by the draught that he struck
up a merry song, still plying his
hammer vigorously. Suddenly the
would-be corpse arose and said, in
sepulchral tones. "When man is
in the presence of death he should
not sing" The shoemaker was
startled, but recovering his self
possession in moment, he dealt
the corpse blow on the head with
his hammer as he uttered: "When a
man is dead he should not speak"

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
One of the saddeat passages in
the whole affair is the death of q
young man named Jameson. He,
with some twelve others, had pro
cured arms from the English man,
of-war and were formed into u
scouting party from West End.
About the third day they went out
in the country and put up for the
night a5 estate "Two Williams. /"
Some faithful negroes were there
and were set out "s guards around
the estrte. About nine o'clock in
the evening four of the party STARE Q |
out to visit the guards. They as
certained that one had loft his post,
but after u fow minutes tho man
was found. Some alteration en-.
sued and Che louI talk attracted the
attention Of the party left in tho
house, who sailed forth, thinking
the mob had returned. BY this
time the four had started for the
house. Some one called out, "yVho
comes there ?" and was answered,
"Friends, and the four continued
to advance It WIS dark, and the
wind, which WAS blowing fresh, it

Why Journalists are Skeptics.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmadge recently
delivered a sermon in Brooklyn, in
which he explains the reason that so
many newspaper men are skeptical as
to the Divine Truth. Mr.. Talmadge
says:
''One Of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is, that it's mem
bers are compelled to see more of the
shams Of the world than any other pro-
fession. Through every newspaper Of
fee. day after day, go all the weaknesses
of the world; all the vanities that want
to be pulled; all the revenges that want
to be reapcd; all the mistakes that
want to be corrected; all the dull speak
ers who want to be thought eloquent;
all the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial col
umns, in order to save the tax of the
advertising columns, all the men who
want to be set right who were never
right; all the cracked brain philosophers
with stories as long as their hair. and as
gloomy as their finger nails. in mourn
ing because bereft of soap-all the
bores who come to stay five minutes,
but talk five hours.
Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms all the follies and shams of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation is to believe in neither God,
man or woman. 1t is no surprise to me
that in this profession there are some
skeptical men; only wonder that jour
nalists believe anything

Mr.. EDITOR:-I shall have to postpone

The feeling is very bitter against the
collecting of the royalty on wells, and
fuel is further added by notice that
there is to be trouble about barbed wire
fencing. All agree that this is too
much to be borne, and many advocate
organizing vigilance committees, and at
once; first taking the collecting agents,
then the lawyers who have assisted
them, then the editors who even pub
lishcd the notices for the collection of
the royalty
A resident Of this township has been
cited to appear at Des Moines, who
never had drive well, or never owned
a place on which there was drive WELL
This looks like carrying the joke too
far. If the parties claiming the patents
have any rights, they should have look
ed after them long ago, and il unable to
protect themselves on their patents,
should have suffered the consequences
The parties manufacturing, selling and
putting in the wells are the only ones
who should suffer, for in every instance
the owner of the we'll or wells paid full
value. 1t is to be hoped that modera-
ton will prevail, but the majority are
in favor of harsh and severe measures.

THE Clinton Herald, in clear and
logical editorial shows up the fanaticism
of the Iowa Blue Ribbon Nevs, in siren
uously advocating the formation Of a
new political party in Iowa, to be known
as the Prohibition party. Such a course
would be the solidist blow against tenn
peranee that could pc delivered. Much
of the good that has been done by the
friends of prohibition throughout the
State, during the past few years, would
be destroyed, should such movement
succeed, and many of the best support
ers of prohibition principles would
march over to the opposite side. The
Herald plainly shows the motives of
the Ne,cs, in advocating this course, to
be purely mercenary and selfish, and i'm

a formal entry into the Dominion, on
Monday, amid the tremendous enthu-
siasm of the people, firing of cannons
and playing of bands they landed at
Halifax, Novia Scotia, which city was
splendidly decorated with flags, ever
greens, and flowers. A monster pro-
cession was formed which marched
from the dock yard to the provincial
building, where took place imposing
ceremonies, and grand ovation to His
Excellency. The oath of Office was ad-
ministered, after which graceful tend
ers of.Welcome were made by the cor
poration of Halifax and the officers of
the Provincial Government The Mar
quis replied in neat speech, conveying
his thanks for the enthusiastic well
come. In the evening the city was H.
Illuminated from end to end, and festiy-
tiles were the order Of the hour.
