"I'm glad she did, for it gives
me an excuse to call with you, and
I've been longing for the entree to
Mrs. Gayne's parlors all winter.
She's 80 very exclusive-the real
sort, you know, that to be invited
to her receptions is quite a card.
They say she is very fond of young
people, and her parties are delight
full"

The AdventiSts and their Creed.

A writer in the Boston Avertiser writing of
the Pocasset murder gives the following ac-
account of the Adventists and their Creed
The murderer is convert to what is known
AS the ''crisis" creed held by certain portion
of the Adventists. They place mankind in
general. except themselves and others of
their faith, as no higher than the beasts in
any prospect of immortality, the privileges of
resurrection being denied to all those without
the pale of their creed. Nathaniel Wing
the founder of the Pocasset band of Advent
lists, received his doctrine at an Advent
camp meeting in fremont in tlr summer of
1876. One of his converts was Freeman
who disseminated the doctrine among his
ncighbors and surrounded himself with a
small band of believers, who looked upon
him as a leader, and seemed to regard him as
being somewhat higher and more divine
in character than ordinary beings. The Ad-
ventists were mostly members of the Metho-
dist church, but their difference of creed
caused many discussions, and finally resulted
in their seeding from their brethren and
holding services of their own. Their inter
ruptions of the Methodist services were so
serious that the pastor of the church at that
time, the Rev. Daniel NJ. Rogers, wished to
he transferred year ago from his pastoratc
but was sent back by the church officials and
remained until last Saturday with them,
completing his regular term of three wears.
The Adventist services were held in school
house, and the Methodists had been accus-
toned to hold weekday evening services in
the same place. quarrel arose over the
right of possession which resulted in the
towns voting last March that no schoolhouse,
should be used for religious purposes. OF
late the Adyentists have been less obtrusive.
but have held revival meetings among them
selves, Freeman being the most prominent
! particl ant in the meetings, and the mental
| excitement arose to such pitch Is finally
to precipitate this terrible tragedy and still
! hold the sympathies of the sect on the side of
the murderer. Mr.. Alden Z. Davis, one of
the Adventists, and at whose house the body
of the murdered child was taken. to be re-
tanned until the funeral, claims that the muir
derer was not led to the deed through the in
fiuence Of the Adventist doctrine. but
through insanity growing out of his contro
versies with tie Methodists on doctrinal
| points. He says no such sacrifices are tauyl ,
in any meeting of the Adventists These
statements are secuted by Methodists, who
claim Frecmans crime to be the direct ont
come of the peculiar religious belief which
he entertained. Incredible as it may seem.
many of the Adventists still justify Freeman
in his act, and agree with him that in taking
his daughters life he only eyinced a praise.

The New Army Bill Discussed by
the Republicans.
+ Special to the Boston Advertiser. I

W.smINGroN, NAV }.
The republicans held Joint caucus to-
night lasting two hours and half. Mr.. Al
lison of Iowa, presided. The discussion was
without excitement, and friendly throughout.
Judge Edmunds made speech Of consider
able length. taking strong ground against the
bill upon the general objection that it re-
strict,d the powers of the federal governm 1t
in numerous particulars. He answered num-
crous questions in regard to the bearing of
the new democratic army bill, and presented
what the republicans regarded as an exceed
ing strong argument against it. In fact, ii
had much to do with controlling the senti
ment of the caucus.
Judge IIoar of Massachusetts, also opposed
it earnestly. Senator Logan followed. also
in opposition. Mr.. Refer and General FIaw
lev of the House, made exceedingly strong
speeches against the bill, both based upon
the proposition that the bill proceeded from
those who were seeking for means of Grip
ping the national government and stripping
| it of power in observing and protecting its
own elections.
Ex-Sccrctary Robeson did not regard II e
measure in as Objectionable light as the other
speakers, but still expressed his determine
ton to vote against it. There were many
who briefly expressed their dissent from the
position of the bill, and the whole question of
the use of state and national troops, and use
of force by civil officers. was briefly discuss
ed Mr.. Conkling talked earnestly against
the bill, and treated it As a part of the scheme
the sole object OF which was To strip the fed
eral government of power He also claimed
that it was pnt forward with a menace as tru-
" as when it was incorporated in the army
bill.
! Toward the close of the discussion all who
thought the bill should not pass were asked
to rise, and all but two responded. one of
these saying he should vote against the bill.
and the other declining TO rise because he did
not care to appear to have his action deter
mined by caucus. 1t was agreed that there
should be no filibustering to prevent the pas
sage of the bill, but a committee was ap-
pointed to draft a substitute, and it was agreed
that if possible a vote should be secured upon
this The republicans will also attempt to
force debate.

No Fusion with Democrats.

The new greenback organ started at
Washington is violently opposed to any
amalgamation whatever of greenbackers
and democrats, and is not afraid to say so
in plain language. 1t is decidedly in ia
vor of the greenbackers padding their
own canoe. leaving the democrats to do
the same. On this point the new national
organ says:
The folly of men who call themselves
greenbackers, or nationaists and who cling
TO the notion of uniting with the democratic
party for any purpose under the domination
of Tilden and Randall, is so apparent that it
not worth while to protest against the fol-
ly. Any fusion, coalition or alliance of
the greenbackers with the democratic leaders
in Congress or out of Congress will end in
defeat
In addition to this advice to avoid any
fusion whatever with the democrats. the
new paper gives the democrats in Con-
gress the following thrust for their at
tempted repeal of the election laws:
The howl for the removal of the troops from
the polls comes like an afterthought to South
ern members in the face of the fact that Pres
ident Hayes. against the sentiment of his par
~, removed the troops from the Southern
States. The read objective point is the re-
moval of supervisors under the false cry of
Free election and no troops" 1t is impossi-
BILE to be logical and dishonest at the same
moment. The democratic leadership is like
Cyclops with his eye punched out Yet this
is the party that boasts of its acts and tradi-
tons. This is the party that claims kin to
Jefferson, who purchased Louisiana and the
Southwest, kin to Polk, who annexed Texas
and conquered Mexico and made the Union
an oeean-bound republic. Republican lead |
ership no longer on its legs, sits like Morde-
cal at the gate waiting for the scafiold to be
erected.

The Cincinnati Gazette has obtained special
reports OF the prospects of the crops in 60
counties OF Indiana and Ohio, and finds, from
a general summing up, that the outlook is
very cheering. There is largely increased
acreage of wheat oats, and corn. The spring
crops generally are retarded bv the backward
season, but may not suffer in the end because
OF that. There is an excellent prospect for
all fruits except peaches.

The review of business and finance at
the close of last month is very gratifying.
The aggregate reserve of the New York
banks is larger than it was year ago,
and while the increase of loans and de-
posts indicates a more active condition of
business, the rate of interest remains very
low-on call, from ~ to.3 ~ per cent.
and the market is much more easy than
is usual at this season of the year. The
settlements for the four per cents have
gone on without any disturbance, though
with surprising rapidity. The fact that
over $50, 600, 900 of the six per cent bonds,
for which calls have matured in April, and
on which interest has ceased, have not vet
been presented for payment, is an evil
dence OF the great amount of capital that
was accumulated and idle when resump-
ton was accomplished, AS of the amount
which still seeks employment in good
railway or other corporate securities, or
in manufactures. The revival of the iron
manufacturing business il. especially no
ticeable, though improvement is very
marked in many Other directions The
reports of the prospect of crops are very
encouraging. There is gradual improve
ment in business, generally indicating
coming substantial prosperity.

upon the ewes of Frenchman who was
born blind and has remained in darkness

that was not previously tempered with has
been treated by skillful eye-surgeon with

was enabled to distinguish colors for the
first time in his life. A few days ago
