defeat Grant.

The political gossips say that Randall

feat for Congress, because Randall's OPP
ponents meant to elect the other Penn

No Free Soup.
ST. Louis has decided to open no free
soup houses this winter, the experience
of several years havingproved that they
only swell the criminal classes by at
tracing tramps to the city from all the
country round.
Better Not.
Newman. the Greenbackcr who ran
for Congress against Joe Johnston IN
the Richmond (Na.) district, il foolish
enough to think he can make some
thing by contesting the old warriors
seat
Linderman.
DIR. Linderman's term OF Office as di-
rector OF the Philadelphia mint expires
next month, and there are plenty OF
other men anxious for the place, but it
is hardly likely Secretary Sherman will
consent to a change.
No Backing Down.

Banking and Currency Committee, says

Disgrace to the Bench.
Judge Humphreys, of the District of

Originul Sin.
Mr.. Moody, more direct than most
theulogians, puts it thus:
Some people cannot understand the
doctrine OF inheriting sin from Adam.
They to not see why they should suffer
for a crime committed six thousand
years ago. He could tell them, how
ever, that no man in Baltimore would
be lost through Adams sin. Some of
the wise ones present might shake their
heads and say this was not sound doc
trine, so he would put it another way,
and say that every one would be held
responsible for Adams sin. They
thought this paradox, no doubt, but
he would illustrate it. Ii he had con-
sumption, tof course they could all see
that he did not, but supposing he had,
and he should refuse remedy which
had been proved to be sure cure. and
die, it would not be the disease which
killed him, but his refusal to try the
remedy. 1t was just the same with
man. Belief on Christ, not simply in
Him. was the only remedy for sin.
