The third day of the great fraud upon relig-
ioa, euphoniously designated as the Mime
tonka Sabbath School assembly, has passed and
gone, and still Gilmore, Walker. Keith & Co.
are not happy. The booming point has not
been reached, and the patience Of those in at
tendance is daily tagging out. Yesterdays ex-
perience was even less satisfactory than that of
the day before, both as to attendance and in
terest manifested in the exercises.
Even at Minneapolis the crowd awaiting the
arrival of the train for Minnetonka was notably
smaller than that of the first and second days,
while from ST. Paul the number could have
been readily counted on the fingers.
But the good Deacon Gilmore is not
the man to give up the fight at the
outset. Like his venerable New England
prototype. he evidently means to drive the
old ono horse shay until it drops to pieces of
its own aCcord-a consum nation which be-
nign Providence will speedily bring about.
But, in the interim, the pious old soul ia busy
devising ways and means to keep the worm.

the association work out its own salvation.
Why these things thus? Why with her

LOOKING FOR HIS PAY.
Yesterday afternoon the GLOBE representative
was informed that the Rev. DIR. Townsend, who
had concluded his engagement was decidedly
on "the ragged edge" as to getting his pay for
his services. For two hours or more he was
kept on the anxious seat. From the manner
of the delivery of his morning lecture, it might
be readily Inferred that some misgiving on the
subject had entered his mind, hence his anxiety
to rush to the close and reach some determine
ton of the
UNPLEASANT SUSPICION
which vexed his pious soul. But for two hours
ne was kept stretched upon the rack of this
tough world, and had no recourse than to fondle
in Imagination, if not in substance, his coveted
shekels. The GLOBE, however, does not men,
ton this for the purpose of administering con-
ISOLATION. 1t has no sympathy with Mr.. Town
send any other divine of his ilk. Any clergy
man who prostitutes his holy Office on such an
occasion by making Republican harangues,
deserves no sympathy if he had
not received single cent of compensation. In
point of fact, many of his illusions to political
issues now dead and gone would have been de-
cidedly in bad taste upon the hastings of to-day,
but the GLOBE, not wishing to expend its pow
der on such an insignificant and harmless sub
ject, allowed it to pass without structures, and
only aliudes to it here as an evidence of retrib-
utive justice to pharasaical disciple of
PSEUDO CHRISTIANITY.
But to continue the story. On applying to
President Gilmore. so the story runs, for his
salary, that gentleman informed him he had no
money, nor was there any in the treasury. The
secretary, Mr.. E. W. Allen, returned q like an
swer, and for a time the chances looked deci-
cidedly squally. However, after much tribula-
ton, and probably by general 'divvy" among
the faithful. the necessary sum was secured
and the Boston Importation went on his way
rejoicing. The GLOBE does not vouch for the
truth of the story, and merely gives it as cur
rently reported yesterday afternooA.

to institute inquiries forthwith az to the

for which, so far as the GLIDE can discern,
they should arrogate to themselves any especial
commentator, as the practical effect of the
stipulation is to leave the general public at all

or the man whom they deemed it advisable to
