Malicious Tramps.-By private let
ter from Bradford Junction, a short dis
tance west Of Piqua, we learn that body
Of trsmps boarded freight train at that
point on Saturday, and upon refusing to
pay their fare were ordered of the train
by the conductor. They refused to do
either, pay fare or leave the train, and put
themselves in an attitude to run things 10
suit themselves. The conductor got the
"drop" on them with his revolver aud fir
ing wounded one Of the tramps, after
which they stood not upon the order Of
their going, but left in panic. 1t is only
to be regretted that he did not prepare
them for the dissecting room Of ssme med

Festivals.
For the Herald. I

For the Herald.]
For many years festivals have been of no
uncommon occurrence. They had their
origin away back in antiquity. The He
brews, Greeks, and Romans have all had
them, and have transmitted their infiu-
ence to modern times. The Romans did
no work on testal days; the Jews did no
mourning; and the Gentiles celebrated
them in idleness and in pleasure.
They were held for various purposes,
such as for the celebration of anniversa-
ries of noted occurrences; in honor to
victOrs at games and the like. They were
also held as now, for religious purposes,
The festivals in honor to Bacchus were
similar to the revelings (tonsoD against
spoken by the Apostle Paul.-Gal. v. 81.
To say that all the celebrations and fes-
tivals common in our country are produc-
tive of evil rather than good, would be
too much; but there is one kind of festi-
walls now very common among MANY
churches which [ think is considerably
at variance with the principles of chris
tianity. The reference is to festivals
held in churches for the purpose of paw
ing the preacher, and other expenses.
1t may be said that they are the most
effective means for raising money for
church purposes. But we do not believe
that '"The intention sanctifies the act.''
It seems to me that if the Savior was to step
into one of His houses and find festival i'm
full blast, He would do as He once did
with the Jews. (See Matt. xxi 70, 13. y
