A CoNaREsaMAN NOT ALLOWED TO PREACH

Rev. Mr.. De La Matyr attended the Chestnut
Street Methodist church Sunday afternoon, and
some of the prominent members desired to have
the reverend gentleman preach A council of
trustees and officials was held, and while some Of
them were in favor of listening to the words of
wisdom as they fell from the gentleman's lips
majority were opposed to his preaching thinking
1t might exert bad influence. Rev. Mr. De La
Matyr has been a minister of the Gospel thirty
years and he says this is the first time he was re.
fused Methodist p1lpit Is 1t because he isn't o

A FLAW IN THE INDICTMENT.

teresting Republican story about Republican
speeches being addressed to Democratic voters
In Ohio through the ignorance Of Democratic
clerks at Washington who don't know how to
read, !" 1t does-oh 1t does seem to us as If there
were flaw in the Indictment somewhere Per-

they cannot read at all.-N. Y World.

The Cincinnati Gazette compared Gen.
Rice to Benedict Arnold. At the hour
they were penning the dastardly insult,
to q brave and loyal man, he was
confined to a sick bed suffering from the
pain of his manned leg, sovereignty Of
his loyalty and devotion to his country
and her flag. Let every man who wore
the blue remember this when he casts
his vote in October.-Colttmbu Dem,

THE RIVER OF LIFE.
BY THOMAS cAMpnr1n.


BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.
The more we live, more brief appear
Our LIES succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like q river smooth
Along Its CLASSY borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses qulckerP
When Joys have lost their bloom and breath
And life Itself Is vapid
Why, as we near the Falls of Death,
Feel we Its tide more rapidP
1t may be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends are gone
And left our bosom bleeding?
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
Indemnifying feetness;
And those of youth, seeming length
Proportioned to their sweetness.
--s--Sah-.
Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the spring runs dry;
One by one-beyond recall,
Summer roses droop and die.

[st. Louis Globe Democrat, April 28. +

For some time past the public mind has been
excited by the wonderful stodes which the news
papers Of the country have published about re-
markable couple said to be the allest and largest
couple In the world. So extraordinary were the
accounts of these giants that, as it was learned
that Capt. NJ. Y. Bates and lady we're making a
tour OF the West reporter of the Globe. Democrat
was dispatched to interview the gigantic couple
and ascertain the truth in regard to them for the
benefit Of our readers. 1t was no small job and it
must be acknowledged that In all his reportOrial
experience the writer had never before been de-
tailed to tackle any such weighty subjects.
From the reports 1t was expected to find two
very heshy people of large stature, so many of
whom are advertised as wonders, but who are, in
fact, monstrosities, their immense developments
being the result Of disease. No more fallacious
Idea could be formed, however, and when the re-
porter, after having sent In his card was politely
ushered into the presence Of Captain and Mrs.
Bates, he found himself confronted by two as per-
fectly formed gentlefOlk as he had ever seen. The
first impression was one OF awe, and 1t occurred
to the intervieWers mind that half the truth had
not been told. A feeling of insiguifcance over
came him, and he appeared to sink to the llllipu.

the tallest Of his family, except himself, was q
brother killed at Vicksburg during the war, and
who was six feet and two inches In height. No
cases Of extraordinary size have ever been known
