faith, viewed as the redeemer of sinners. The
faith of the Old Testament saint was in a
saviour still to come. Hence, it was pros.
pective faith, the object of which was typi6ed
by these sacrifices. By the bloody sacrifices,
God designed to teach man that he had

and also to teach him that way of recovery
from sin had been found out.

while the passengers were hurriedly making
preparations for their safety, fat old Dutch
man seized life-preserver, and trying it on,
began to fill it, blowing till he was red in the

HIS NEW FLYING MACHINE.

An enterprising saloon-keeper on Grand
River Avenue, is always on the lookout tor
any novelty that may draw customers, and
perhaps this fact may have been known to a
bland faced old man who entered the place,
the other day, and con6dentially began:
eff I could draw crowd of one hundred
men to your place here, what sum would you
be willing to give meT'
"What do you mean ?" asked the saloonist.
"If it was known that I had in my posses
sion flying g-machine, and that it was to fly
from your door here on certain day and
hour, wouldn't the novelty be sure to collect
a thirsty crowd?"
"Yes, l think so. If you have a flying
machine and want to show it off here to.mor-
row night, I'll give you dollar; and if the
machine is a success, perhaps I'll buy it"
"Well, SIR" continued the old man, in a
whisper, give got the boss She flies from
the word go All I've got to do is to toss her
into the air, and away she sails. It's right
down fine and no chance for failure, and III
be on hand at seven o'clock to morrow night. T"
The matter became noised about, and next
evening there were fifty or sixty people in
and around the saloon to witness the expert
ment. The old man arrived on time, having
some sort of bundle under his arm, and he
collected his dollar of the saloonist and secured
several "treats" from the crowd. When ev-
cry thing was finally ready, he stood on the
walk clear of spectators and said: :
"Gentlemen, warrant this thing to fly. l
didn't invent it myself; but am now acting
as State agent to dispose of county rights.
Hundreds of men have spent years of anxious
thought and thousands of dollars in seeking
to invent fying-machines, but this one leads
them all. She will now fly. Please stand
back and give her chance to rise"
The crowd fell back, and the man let fall
the cover hiding his bundle, and gave an
old speckeled hen toss into the air. She
uttered dismal squak, sailed this way and
that, and finally bumped against telegraph
post and settled down on the roof of a low
shed, cackling in an indignant manner at be-
ing turned loose in strange neighborhood
1t was full minute before the crowd was
sure that it was hen, and during that min
ute the old man is supposed to have run
distance of seven blocks. A few tried to
overhaul him, but it was no use.-FTee Press

asked by counsel at a trial.
Because" replied the witness, "he is con.

proof of Insanity"

own victims, and offered them up in sacrifice
himself. If Adam offered up sacrifices, as
most probably he did, what priest took advan-
tage of his ignorance and superstition Who
took advantage of Abel and induced him to
slay his sheep and goats, at stated periods, and
pile their dead bodies upon heap Of wood
and burn them to ashes? A moments serious
reflection will convince any reasonable man
that God, and not man, was the originator of
sacrifices In other words, Cain and Abel,
and all the patriarchs, offered up sacrifices
because God commanded them to serve him
in that way.
What, then, was the design Of these sacri-
6ces9 What did God teach men by these
bloody sacrifices? 1t may be answered many
things. 1st In the death of these sacrifices,
God gave to men, especially to Adam, an oc-
cular demonstration of what was meant by
death. The bleeding victim enabled Adam
to see what his sin had brought into the
world. I'd. The main design Of the bloody
sacrifices which were offered up from the time
Adam eat 1.-The forbidden fruit to the coming
of Jesus Christ, was to typify Christ. They
prefgured Saviour to come who would take
away the sin of the world Although it is
not stated in the Bible, still it is clear from
all that is stated, that God clearly intimated
to Adam what kind of sacrifices were accept
able. Gains sin consisted in presumptuously
offering up the fruits of the ground and not
the irstlings of the flock. The death Of Abel's
sacrifice typi6ed Saviour who would die, the
just for the unjust.

bloody sacrifices subserved the same purpose

choose as companion for himself, his wife
or his daughter person of different race
and color. Social equality is an sgnss tatuats.
The more one pursues it the farther he gets
from it. It does not exist even among

of society in every community of whites
and blacks. People moving in what we

SOCIAL EQUALITY.

AChlcago newspaper is much distressed
at the discovery made by one of its CORES
pondents that the Southern people still abhor
the doctrine of social equality as between
whites and blacks. 'sThe Southern blacks,''
it says, "are no more accounted social EQUALS
now than they we're in the slave days. The
change in this respect is naturally slow. It
has not been helped, but rather impeded, by
the obvious fact that many of the negroes
are superior in intelligence and morals and
greater possessions than many of the whites.
The stronger the claim to social equality is,
the more holly it is resisted
Admitting that what this writer says is
true, are the Southern people any different
IN this respect than those at the North? Is
the social equality between whites and blacks
at the North 50 universal and SO firmly es-
tablished that the Southern people deserve
condemnation for refusing to treat their
former chattels as social equals? We CON
fess that we have seen no evidence of the
fact. The editor of the paper which mourpe
go plaintively over the social ostracism of
the negro in the South is in the habit of
giving social receptions at his elegant home
on one of the fashionable avenues of Chi
cage, yet, although there are doubtless MANY
negroes in that city superior in intelligence
and morals'' to him, we have not hesrd Of
his inviting any of these negroes to mingle
with the rest of his guests. Why does he no,
set an example to his brethren at the South
by treating the negroes of his own city as
his social equals? Perhaps he doesn't care
to practice what he breaches.
All this talk about social equality between
whites and blacks is balderdash. There car
never be any such thing. man will eyer.

line, Mr.. Geo. Stephens, of Montreal, being
chosen president, and Norman w. Kittson,
of St. Paul, vice president. Mr.. Stephens

The members of the fire department held a
meeting last evening at headquarters to consid-
er the report of the fire committee as made to
the common COUNCIL on Wednesday night. The
report recommending the paid department was
read, and the meeting was thrown open for dis
cussion on the subject.
After some discussion, in which those pres
ent spoke in favor of. disbandment, the follow
ing resolution was made and unanimously
adopted:
That the sentiment OF this meeting is that
the Minneapolis volunteer fremen disband on
July l, 1879.
On motion the names of those who were in
attendance at the meeting were taken, so that
the company members not present could ascer-
tain whether the exempt or active members of
the department were in favor of disbandment.
On motion the chief engineer was authorized
to notify the city council that the volunteer
department will parade on July lst.

A Clean-Cut Review of the Instrument by

e LONDON, May 23.-The Times editorial
article says: THE adoption of the California
constitution is . aurprise to the world. It is
the most astounding instrument ever framed
for the government Of any community. If all
the notions of reformers who put forth their
5panaceas for the generation of the human race
during the Paris commune were embodied in

absurd, moro menacing, than many Of the pro-
visions of the constitution which now regulates
the existence of jewellers in California. Every
body is to be punished and restricted in some
way. Those persons, only are excepted who
have nothing TO lose. The constitution as .
whole is such an extraordinary instrument that
the people of Califvrnia might well be stupefed
when they learned that Kearney had carried
big point. We do not think that thus exulta-
ton will last long. Tho mischief which has
been wrought may produce reaction and an
effort may be made to revise constitutions

the country. They have raised wheat ten

wardness. They pushed it up to $1.02 yes

see it squeezed up to $1.10. A gigantic
combination is under the market and bound
