Are Your Garments SpOtless -!

We would none Of us like 20 appear
in the presence Of large, well dress
ed company, as guests. in tattered
garments.
The light that would make every
thing else radiant. shining upon our
filthy rags, would reveal their loathe-
somenes-, and from very shame we
would hide ourselves from its pres
ence
Bu, how much more fearful would
il be to appear in the presence OF the
King of kings and the white robed
multitude that ,hrOng about Him III
the filthy garments Of sin.
How the light Of that place. bright
er than the sbh, would shine through
and through our vile raimcn,. and
upon every sin->,ained spot like a
pulse Of fire, ill from cOnsclons guilt
1 ness aud unti,Dess We would flee away
and hide ourselves in the outer dark
ness uf an endless night.
Reader, are'yOur garments spotless!
| Are YOU ready if the King should
summon you to appear before the
throne, in The presence of the celes-
,ial company, without spot or wrinkle,
or any such thing?
A few months ago. o christian lady,
a personal friend. was brought to Sc
riOusly consider this matter.
She dreamed she heard the cry
The bridegroom coMetb, go ve on,
to meet Him:"
She arose hastily to obey the sum

ments. she saw. to her dismay, tha
although they were white. without I
stain. they were full Of wripkles.
She tried to smooth item out will

ing that she was not fit TO appear in tb'

The dream led to q careful self ex

troll our municipal affairs.

ceeded to the Presidency, Col.

ment Of Postmaster at this

ored under the administration
Of Mr.. Fillmore. He was also

crat, he was elected by a hand
some majority IN district large
ly Republican in politics.

coiored man, and that she was
paid $500 for repeating a story,
which was manufactured for her.
According TO ELIAS story she
placed 1850 of this money in the
hands OF o. II. Brewster, one of
Hayes electors, and has never been
able TO get any of it back to this

we suppose, embittered her and

Columbus Enquirer Sun; Gan
old citizen of this place, who
moved to Nebraska n number of
years ago, left here a family of
negroes which he once owned and
two hundred and fifty acres of
land. He rented it to these col.
ored people at one hundred dol:
lars per annum, and after lapse
of five years he returned to this
place. During the whole time he
did not collect any rent, and on
going out to see them a day or
two ago it cost him eight dollars,
as he bad to give them a dollar
each. They were delighted to
see their Old master, and he was e
qually glad to see them. He does
not force them to pay him the rent
which be charges, and will con-
tinue TO allow them to remain on
his soil. The only appreciation
they could show him in the shape
OF presents was that they sent out
their children and had them to
pick for him water bucket of
blackberries. These he brought
to market and sold at five cents
per quart. This shows the at.
tachment which slaves and mas
ters had for each other and which
still continues to exist"

The Big Race.

The big race at Louisyilip on

Brock and MclFe MCCARTHY is
over, and the whole country is
disappointed at the result. Peo-
pie from ali parts Of the coun-
try were iii attendance TO wit
ness the contest between the
two cracks; every person very
reasonable expected to see a
hard struggle for supremacy.
The bell rang calling the horses
to the post, and Ten Brock was
the first TO appear with his name
decorated with orange and red
ribbon, 4Iarper's colors. He
was received with tremendous
cheers and looked in excellent
condition. Walker soon mount
ed him and the cheering was
greater than before. All eyes
were now turned up the stretch,
the approach of Mollic McCar-
thy being the cause, and she
was received almost as cordial
ly as the King by the immense
throng. Ten Brock was sent
around the course once lust 10
warm him up. Every person
present was eager for the race
and was doing all in his power
to secure a position from which
to see the whole of it, and very
few did. The grand stand and
all its surroundings were over
flowing with people. The horses
came TO the post and went off
head and head and continued
this way for two miles, the mare
crossing the score little ahead.
From this point she seemed TO
weaken, and Ten Brock drew
away gradually, opening the gap
at every jump, beating her more
than quarter of mile. So dis
tressed was the mare that she
came to a standstilI at the head of
stretch, and her jockey dismount
ed. She tottercd and staggered
and looked as if her say on this
earth was short. Water was Sc
cured and her head bathed, while
her loins, VIII, re she appearedweak,
were rubbed with whisky. Her
Jockey with woful face led the
mare surrounded by hundreds of
people. down 20 the judges stand.
Another scene of very different
character was being enacted in
front of the stand. Walker, the
winning jockey, was borne around
on the shoulders of the entbu-
siastic crowd, and even old Har-
per was shaken up pretty lively
with congratulations. The t!me
was S:l93, just one minute SIT wer
than Lexlngton's famous race e.
gainst time at New Orleans, more
than twenty years ago.
Ten Brock although the victor
was used up about as badly as the
mare, and it was rumered that he
was dead, but this is not true.
He was cramped after the race
and suffered very much.
The conclusion is that both hor.

Communist IncendMries.
A War Against Rcaping Machines

The destruction of reaping ma
chimes, by tramping communists
in Ohio and Indiana, is getting to
be of such frequent occurrence as
to thoroughly alarm the farmers,
who fear that it is the beginning
! OF an organized crusade against
agricultural machinery. Notices
are nightly posted about the ru
raj districts, warning the farmers
who are 10 the midst of harvest
against the use of patent reapers.
In return the farmers are posting
notices warning the tramps that
any man who is caught burning
their barns or stacks or reapers
will be promptly shot. : The num-
Der of reapers already reported
destroyed is not less than TWEEN.
ty or thirty. a few of the timid
farmers are discarding machines
and cutting their grain by hand.
Most of them, however, will not
heed the incendiary notices, and
will protect their property at all
hazards. Any man who desires
work can readily secure it now in
the harvest field. In some places
hands are scarce at $l50 per
day and board. Farmers think
the bread or blood plea of barn
burners is not we'll founded.

SIR: This committee, charged

coming campaign for the cleo
ton of members of Congress,
call with confidence upon you,
as a Republican, for such a con-
tribution in money as you may
feel willing to make, hoping
that it may not be less than.
The committee deem it proper,
in thus appealing to RepuHi-
cas- generally, to inform those
acho happen to te in Federal
employ that there qcM be no OBJ
lection IA any official quarter
to such roEeatary contribution.
The importance of the pend
ing struggle cannot easily be
exaggerated. That the Senate
is TO be Democratic after the
18th of March, 1879, is very
nearly a certainty. In view Of
Ithis,the election of a Democratic
House of Representatives would
precipitate upon the country
dangerous agitations, which
would inevitably add to pres
ent distresses. Foremost among
their schemes, the opposition
already announce their inten-
ton to attempt the revolution
airy expulsion of the President
from his office.
If,by the presentation of three
candidates for the Presidency
in 1880, the people should fail
to choose, the House must elect,
each State delegation casting
one vote.
From what is now known,
and with the growing dissen-
sions i'll the camp of the enemy,
the committee have good rea-
son to enter upon their work
with courage.
Please make prompt and rea-
