Going to Marry.

EDITOR CITIZEN After consult
ing the astrologers, scientists and
especially the old maids, Jeems
and me have come to the conclu-
sion to marry. We feel like old
age was leaving its foot steps upon
our good looks. Jeems and me are
not very good looking ourselves;
our hair looks like you could warm
your hands over it the coldest kind
of day, and we are sorter no-noth-
ings ourselves, and don't care a
cent. And we wear No. IL boots
without socks. And now. Mr.. Edi-
tor, we will tell you what kind OF
women would suit us. We want
them to have red hair like ourselves
not false like the most of them
and want them to wear false teeth
for they may have TO eat meatskins.
We want them to know how to
cook, make soap, feed hogs and
grabble taters. And she must not
have a nose that looks like it was
growing into her mouth, and il
must not take over % yds. of cali
co to make her a dress, nor be over
40 years old. Well, just tell them
that they will have to be mighty
purity to get US old bachelors any
way, for we are mighty rich and we
have got to have 4 high futin'
that's one thing sartin.

KILLING A RELIGION.
A Scientific Mans Views" Keep
Out of Range"
DR.. Beard in North american Review.

Modern spiritism is an attempt
to apply the inductive method to
religion; to make faith Scientific; to
confirm the longings of the heart by
the evidence of the senses. In thus
submitting spiritlsm to the Undue
tive method, its friends forgot that
to prove a religion would be to kill
ito transfer it from the emotions,
where it belongs, to the intellect,
where it can find no home. a reli-
gion proved dies as a religion and
becomes a scientific fact, and would
take its place side by side with as
tronomy and chemistry, with phys
les and geology, in the organized
knowledge of men. Spiritists, there
fore, would have been wiser if they
had followed the example of one of
the very greatest of experimental
philosophers, the late Prof. Far,l-
day, of whom it was said that when
he ''entered his laboratory he shut
the door of his oratory." The Sc
curity Of religious beliefs consists
in their keeping out of range. Re
ligion, indeed, is between two fires;
absolutely proved or absolutely dis
proved, it is destroyed; disproved,
it becomes a delusio1, a negative
fact of science; proved, a positive
fact, in both cases recognized by
the intellect and appealing to it;
like the horizon, it recedes as We go
toward it-even the attempt to sub
NIT it to scientific study causes it to
disappear. No religion on the globe
is strong enough to bear the shock
of its own demonstration.
That Christianity has not clearer
and more precise historical evidence
for it's claims has been the expert
ence and oftentimes uttered regret
of apologists. and to supplement
this defect by toilsome research
has been the burden of the first
scholarship in the world; but 1t is
the weakest point in Christianity
that it is historically so strong; its
recent decline among the thought
ful corresponds to the augmenting
wealth of the testimony in it's favor,
and at this hour it's hold, in all
sects, is frmest among those who
are most oblivious and most heed
less of the argument for its divine
origin. If Christianity ever dies, it
will be of excess of evidence. Each
addition of proof draws blood.

that the exemptions from taxation
are entirely in favor of the poorer
classes. Suppose the bonded debt
of the State with interest should
reach as high as $25,000,O00. One
half of that amount would be $12,-
100000. That amount at four per
cent. would be $500,000. Then ac-
cording to the Comptroller's report
the taxable property OF the State
was assessed for 1878 at something
over S223,O0O,OOO. Now suppose
the taxable property of the State,
after making the proper allowance
for delinquencies and commissions
to be only $2o0,000,000. And then
suppose the whole 100000 of in
terest on the State debt to be raised
entirely from property, and it would
only require a tax of 60 cents on
the hundred dollars to pay the inter
est on the State debt, and it is not
reasonable to suppose that the Leg
islature would be so silly or SO un-
just as to exempt everything from
the payment of the State debt eX-
cept what is now known as taxable
property. So l feel satisfied that
the acceptance of the 50-4 compro-
mise would not make it necessary
to raise the taxes on property more
than 20 cents on the 800 more
than we will have to pay, leaving
the bonded debt of the State en-
tirely out, aud in no way whatever
providing for the payment of either
principal or interest. We learn that
the holders of some $S,O0O,OO0 Of
our bonds are now willing to accept
the compromise, aad by the time we
are able to pay them off other par
ties will be willing to accept. SO if
we ever intend to try to pay, think
we oUghI to accept, and being op-
posed to the reputation of any just
debt, either public or individual,
am for the compromise, and with
sensible legislation and proper econ
omy we are able in good faith to
carry it out. S. A, CARRELL.

STILL WITH HER HUSBAND.
The Lot of the Beaver Girl Who
Eloped with and Married a Negro.
[Pittsburg Letter in New York SUM-

[Pittsburg Letter in New York SUM-
Annie Moore, the young woman
of Beaver, this county, who caused
a sensation last May by eloping
with and marrying negro, has been
found living quietly with her hus
band, Frank Alexander, in the small
town of Salem, Ohio, about seventy
five miles from here. Her husband
is a rather good-looking negro, of
pleasant address. The girl says she
is contented and happy, and the
only thing she seems anxious about
now is her piano, which her father
gave her some years ago, but which
is still at home. Her father, who is
a brother-1n- law of ex Chief Justice
Agnew, was terribly scandalized by
her strange conduct, and has since
tried, though in vain, to have Annie
arrested and sent to an insane asy-
lum. For some time previous to
the elopement Annie had given her
parents q great deal of trouble by
her reckless, wayward conduct, but
being an only daughter she was
spoiled by indulgence. She had a
quarrel with her parents on Wednes-
day night, May IA, and early on the
following morning left her home
and met the negro by an appoint
ment which she had made the night
before. The two went to Roches-
ter, about q mile from Beaver, to
the house of colored clergyman,
VINO married them in the presence
of two white men, whom they had
called in to act as witnesses. The
couple then took the next train back
to Beaver, where the negro hired a
room in a house which had three
rooms only, two of which were al
ready occupied by negro families.
The reckless girl sent home for her
trunk, piano and some of the orna
ments from her room, and this was
the first intimation her mother had
of the marriage. The mother tried
to persuade the girl to return to her
home, but she refused. Her father,
who is United States Storekeeper in
Indiana county, and is wealthy, was
not at home at the time. Soon
afterward the couple disappeared,
threats having been openly made by
the young men of Beaver of tarring
and feathering the negro. Annie Is
twenty years old. She is a bru
nette, with large eyes, exceedingly
pretty face, and fine form. Her
family is one of the best in this part
of the State.

The Immaculate Order.

The Supreme Grand Lodge of the
Independent Order of Immaculates
met in their annual communication
in the city of Nashville on last mon
day at 1O5 o'clock A. NJ. The fol
lowing Supreme Grand officers were
present: w. A Aad@ey. S. G. Mas
ter; G.. E. Miliss, SD. @. Master;
G. Fulton, S. @. Treas; r. +. Boyd
of Pulaski, S. G.. P. Scribe; w. II.
Councill, S. G. r. Scribe, and B. w.
johnson, S. G.. Chaplain. Thirty
seven Lodges and Encampments
were represented. Two sessions
were held the first day. On Tues
day the order celebrated their ami
versary with a grand street parade
and picnic in the day at the Fair
Grounds, and a festival at the court
house at night. The American
states that in the procession were
about six hundred men all dressed
in neat black suits and looked well.
In the rear of the procession were
three fine open top carriages in
which were seated the officers and
also the orators of the day. After
legislating for five days and making
many laws that will rebound to the
interest of the whole order, the
following supreme officers were
elected for the next two years: w.
A. Hadley, of Nashville, S. G. Mas
ter; C. E. Miller, of Birmingham,
Ala, S. d. @. Master; w. II. Coun-

The Boston Herald says: alt
rarely happens that the truth is all
on one side, and it is highly impOr-
tant that the idea oflocal self-govern
ment-State rights in respect to all
matters of domestic administration
should be preserved from de-
struction. State sovereighty-eX-
tending to the right of secession
was decided against by the war,
and has been abandoned as a politi-
cal tenet in the South. The right
of State to govern itself was not
involed in that contest, and we
should regret to see it in any way
weakened. Heretofore Massachu-
setts has defended the principle OF
State rights with ability and fidel-
ty, and the time may come again
when she will appeal to it as the
only shield strong enough to pro-
tect her. Let us never forget that
local self government is the
very jewel of liberty for which our
fathers fought, bled and died"

Time will have to show whether the
effects of the medicine are lasting,
and meanwhile the cases will have
to be regarded as evidencing
only temporary cure. Viewed in
the latter light, however, the results
are, we think, sufficiently interest
ing to warrant our giving publicity
to them.
In addition to the experiments
conducted at Heathcot, we are in
formed by Mr.. Eddie, chemist, by
whom the bark was prepared for
DR.. Stewart, that quantities of the
extract have been obtained from
him for other persons, and that, so
far as he can learn, the results are
the same.

THE AGE OF SLANG.

1t wasn't so when was young
We used palmer language then;
We didn't speak of them "galoots''
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of nice hand-write
OF Joe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain we didn't say,
"He slings nasty quill"
And when we saw girl we iEed,
o Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good,
But not "about her cheese"
Well, when we met good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him, but didn't say,
"Hello, you old sardine."
The boys sometimes got mad aAd fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows,
But now they "whack him on the snoot,
And .'paste him on the nose."
Once when youth was turned away
From her he held most dear,
He walks upon his feet-but now
"He walks off on his ear"
We used to dance when was young,
And used to call it so;
But now they don't they only ''sIng
The light fontastic toe.n -
Of death we spoke in language plain
That no one did perplex:
Rut in rhese days one doesn't die
he passes IN his checks"
We praise the man Of common sense;
''His Judgments good, ," wasaid;
But now we say, "Well, that old plum
Has got level head"-
It's rather sad the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to ''chin" instead of chat
And "waltz" instead of walk.
To little Harry yesterday
My grandchild, aged two
1 said, "You love grandpa" said he,
"You bet your boots do"
The children bowed to strangers once;
1t is no longer So
The little girls, as well as boys,
Now greet each other with, "Hellow
Oh, give me back the good old days,
When both the old and young
ConveTsed in plain old-fashioned words
And slang was never "slung."

Jesus Christ as Described by 9
Roman Governor.

We do not remember ever to have
read any personal description SC
perfect, beautiful and vivid as the
following Uf Our Savi0I, 10y "a Roman
ruler. 1t Is so clear and complete
that the artist can take it and pro
duce his portrait without difficulty
At the period wheE his fame began
to spead in Judea, Publius Lentu-
lus, who was then its governor
wrote to the Roman senate:
There is here, at the present time,
a man of singular virtue, who is
called Jesus Christ. The Barbara
ans esteem him as a prophet, but
his sect adore him as a descendant
of the immortal God. He restores
the dead to life, and heals diseases
by a word and by his touch. He is
Of a tall and graceful stature; his
aspect is mild and venerable. His
hair is of color which cannot be
described, falling in ringlets below
his ears and spreading over his
shoulders with infinite grace. He
wears it parted at the top of his
head, after the manner of the Naza
renes. His forehead is broad and
smooth; his cheeks are tinged with
lovely bloom. His nose and
mouth are admirably regular; his
beard bushy, and of the same color
as his hair, descends an inch and
separated in the middle, it assumes
the form of a fork. His eyes are
beautiful, sparkling, clear and viv-
id. He reproves with majesty, and
his exhortations are full of sweet
ness. Whether he speaks or acts,
he does all with eloquence and grav-
ity. He has never been seen to
laugh, but has often been known to
weep. He is very temperate, very
modest and very wise. In word,
he is a man who by his great beauty
and his divine perfections, surpasses
the children of men, Elk.

troversy with the admission shat
he could not seal her TO Christ, but
he would do the next best thing
he would seal her TO JosephSmith."
The merchant who married the
daughter in Utah apostrophized
from the faith of Brigham, and was
cut off from the Church for rebel
lion, and, OF course, his three extra
wives became an awkward incum-
brance. He was an honorable man,
and, as he regained his senses and
saw Christianity differently, he
provided for his polygamic wives,
including the Miss Cobb, of Bos
ton, and she is again marriagea-
BILE lady, residing in Santa Cruz.

Did you ever notice the broad,
comfortable, shady looking leghorn
hats in the milliner's window? F.?
just buy your wife one, and the
first thing she will do with it will be
to double up her dainty fist and
punch a three cornered dent on the
right side, then she will pinch the
front rim down, and the back rim
up, and then stave in three or four
more big dents at odd corners, and
when it resembles in shape an old
tin pan that has been a target for a
stone throwing match, she will re
mark upon. the elegance and
grace of the affair. But let John
ny serve his new straw hat in the
same way, and he will be stood up
