D. L. MOODY commenced series OF
revival meetings in Cleveland on Sum
day, in a tabernacle erected expressly
for the purpose, which is furnished with
seating capacity for several thousand.
The building was filled to its utmost ca
pacity, and one OF the largest churches
IN the city was also crowded to suffoca-
ton by an overflow meeting" adj

ONCE in travelling, the Rev. DR.. Bled-
soc was exceedingly annoyed by pc
dantic bore who forced himself upon
him, and made great parade of his
shallow learning. The Doctor bore it as
long as he could, and at length, looking
at him gravely, said: "My friend, YOU
and know all that is to be known"
Glow is that?" said the man, pleased

Prince BISMARCK gait is by no means
as sprightly as it was six months ago,
and he is looking old and worn; he is
nevertheless in excellent health, and
wears a CHEEKY and pleasant counte-
nance. He was accompanied to Vienna
the other day by his son, County Will

THE border war is OF a sufficiently Sc
rious character to awaken sOliCitude and

experiences no difficulty with the lndi-
ans while in the United States outbreaks
are frequent and startling? The fact is
enough to convict the administration Of
incompetency, either from ignorance OF
how to deal with the subject, or Of neg
lect and ineihciency. That the Indians
are crowded upon, and that their rights
are sometimes invaded, is not deniable.
But whose fault is this, and why is it not
so in Canada? Ii We have white men

TIE example of a reversalof the votes
of the people after they have been de
posted in the ballot box, if successful
and followed by prosperity to the wrong,
would De fatal to the system Of elective
government. The hierarchy OF the office
! holders would maintain their possession
indefinitely, and every effort of the
people to change the administration
would be nulliicd. The government,
elective in form, would become imperial
in substance, precisely as did that OF
Rome. Such an issue, involving the
very existence OF our free government,
is not be belittled into personal
