Hardly five minutes during business hours

further shipment Of per cent. certificates.
There are now between five hundred and six
hundred designated repositories. This list

all supplied. The deliveries of certificates

The Gallant Militia.

The Militia Convention has COM
pleted its work at New York, and voted
to hold the next meeting at St. Louis,
Sept. 80. It adopted resolution that
the militia should be divided into two
classes, the active to constitute ma
tional or State guard and the inactive
an enrolled reserve; that every able
bodied male citizen in the. various
States between Is and As, except as ex-
empted by law, should compose such
militia; that the first class should be
first called out when necessary, but
that the second class should not go
into service except during war, riot or
instruction; that each State should be
entitled to receive aid for 700 uniformed
commissioned officers and men for each
Congressional representative. This
draft OF law was also adopted: g That
the President of the United States shall
appoint a board of 7 offcers-2 of the
United States army and 5 from the
active militia of the Eastern, Middle,
Southern and Pacific States-for the
purpose of selecting suitable pattern
Of campaign dress and equipment for
the active militia. The Chairman of
the delegates reported the number of
uniformed troops in the respective
States, as follows: New York, $4,000;

A CALL ON TALMAGE.

Probability that He Wall join the Congre-
gatio,sal Church..
A correspondent called upon the Rev. 7.
Dewitt Talmage in his home at No. South
Oxford street, Brooklyn, to inquire relative
to his alleged determination to leave the
Presbyterian denomination on account of
the pursuit of him by some of the leading
ministers of the Brooklyn Presbytery.
Talmage came in roaring with laughter.
He had received from all hands the express
sion that his speech just before he broke
was one of the best things he had
delivered, although it had made his
antagonistic brethren almost wilt with rage.
"The Lords field is big enough for US
all to work in without striking oe-handles,''
he said, "and if ! am cultivating my field
and tending to it in my own way, 1 don't see
why anybody should leave the work in his
field and come over to interfere with me Just
because I don't work as he does. Three or
four ships might as we'll quarrel at sea because
there is not water enough. The church
| only touches the rim of the great mass OF
people who need help"
| "Have you concluded to leave the Presby-
! terian denomination?'' asked the cores
pendent.
| ''There has been nothing settled about
that yet. My ties to that denomination were
never very strong, and they are weaker now
than ever before, but it seems to me that the
one-man power which has SO long controlled
the Brooklyn Presbytery has beer
broken. had to meet solid body agains

court. The Lord has led me through. Iva.

choose. The largest part of my congrega
ton are of New England rearing, and ar
inclined to the Congregational form of gov
eminent. When the smoke of the conf1ic
clears away We will talk the matter over. o
course, it will not be pleasant for us to re
main in the Brooklyn presbytery.' "'...
The venerable DR.. Spear, who was Tai
IMAGES counsel in the trial, and is one o
the editors of the Independent, has fallel
quite in love with Talmage, although whe,
he did not know him so we'll he confesse
that he called him bufoon, and spok
strongly against him.. DR.. Spear went t
hear him preach on Sunday, and said that
it was necessary to testify his respect an
admiration for DR.. Talmage any further, h
would change his church relations and. be
come member of the Tabernacle. rr.

The Hax HOf Hengland.

In 1910 an English gentleman visited
this country and brought back an
American ak and helve, which, from
the peculiar curve of the handle and
shape of the head, proved infinitely su-
perior-the expert, MIR. Gladstone, gave
similar testimony not long ago-to any
thing of English manufacture. His son
still has the ak, which is serviceable,
though, of course, the handle has been
renewed several times, always on the
model of the old one. When it was
first used, carpenters and woodmen
came from distance of ten miles to in
spect it, and many times the owner was
offered ten times its price for tin
deed, one enthusiast tried to steal it.
Nevertheless, 60 tenacious is habit, to
this day that venerable Ak is the only
one of it's kind in the neighborhood.

What 1t Costs to Die,

When corpse becomes corpse, the
first thing to do is to notify the under
taker.. He, comes at once, and takes
complete control of the whole matter,
and does not surrender his full charge
until he receipts the bill. Of course, he
furnishes everything, and the bill of an
undertaken for first class funeral will
read about as follows:
Coffin .$3O0Carriages C20.. 500

! A cheaper funeral than this, OF course,
is procurable, and the majority of fu-
nerals are cheaper than this. A very
respectable pageant may be gotten up
for from $50 to $75, and poor man can
have the satisfaction, on that amount of
outlay, to go to his grave followed by
three or four carriages, in addition to
those of his friends which may be in
attendance. -.r...t .4..,,,.s .-... ......
These are only medium funerals, and
if we should put the figures at the high
notch it would not be less than 81 900
more, or about $1,000 to die stylshly,
and about $500 to fade away in an ordi
5narily respectable, quiet manner. This
is in painful contrast with the burial of
the friendless poor, who have grave

The great objection urged by the Re-
publican leaders to the Democratic
party is because it SO tenaciously ad-
here's to the doctrine of States Rights.
They seem to think that because the
Southern people claimed that. their
States had the right peaceably to with
draw from the Union, and because
that question was decided against them
by the arbitrament of arms, that the
States have no rights which the Fed
eral Government is bound to respect !;
that the war wiped out that provision
of the Constitution which. declares
that The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, or
to the people," But that provision is
still part of the great charter of our
liberties and continues in full force ex-
cept so far a. it has been annulled and
set at defiance by the Radical party
in their management of the affairs of
the Government. When that provis-,
ion shall be abandoned and wiped out
the Republican managers will have
accomplished their full purpose of
subverting the liberties of the people
and converting this confederation of
coequal States into an imperial des-
potism.

were almost the only persons affected
by It. The town Of Lawrence had just
been burned by Quantreil, and 164
unarmed men murdered in cold blood.
That border district was depopulsted,
only two or three hundred families re-
mafning. generally as spies and pur-
veyors for tho guerillas. If I hadn't
ordered them out the Kansas people,
led by Jim Lane, would have burned
them out. The order was executed
without the use Ofa single soldier. It
executed itself. It was in the middle
of August, when the people could

from the order to them to remove be-
ing q hardship any decent family

and Republican rule is fully illustrat-

the parties in New York: The first
year of General Dix's administrAtion
$14, 100000 was expended in running
the State; in the second year this WAS
increased to SIS, TOO, 600. Then came
the rebellion against Republican waste
and extravagance in 1874. Tilden was
elected, and the policy of retrench-
ment and reform which he inaugural
ed has been continued under Cover

reduction of the running expenses OF
the Government, until they are now

Democracy of the United States. It
it we'll occasionally, at least, to turn to
his official utterances aud ascertain
how nearly the Democratic party of
to-day is steering by the political chart
