The ark of God was never taken I'M
til abandoned by its earthly defenders.
In captivity, its sanctity was sufficient
to save it from insult, and to lay the
hostile PROSTATE on the threshold OF
his own temple. The real security of
Christianity is to be found in It's benev-
io.ent morality, IN its exquisite adap-
tation to the human heart, in the facili-
ty with which its scheme accommo-
dates itself to the capacity of every
human intellect, IN the consolation
which it bears to the house of mourn
ing, in the light with which 1t bright
ems the great mystery of the grave.

American Organ Company,


Now, in the twenty.sixth yoar of musical
and financial success, and manufacturing
more instruments, and Of higher grade OF
excellence than at any previous time IN ITS
history, bcgs leave to call the attention of the
public to its new catalogue for the present
year.
The styles of cases are wholly new, ana
are made from artistic designs. The cases
have decided character, that shows in fire
contrast to the "gingerbrcad" work so COM
mon in some ware rooms. Comparison is
solicited in this respect with any instruments
of similar price in the world
THE QUALITY OF TONE,
However, is the main thing. In this the
"SMITH" Organs have always been acknow.
edged beyond successful rivalry. Place q
new Organ by this Company by the side OF
any other,-no matter what much Wanted
name it bears,-and the beautiful, iuil,
round, smooth and voice like tone OF the
"SMITH" will make its way with favor into
the most prejudiced ears.
THEY HOLD THEIR OWN.
Also, and remain in order and tune long be-
yond the time for which they are warranted.
These instruments are made to suit the
needs of all. A very fine Organ can be pur-
chased for 500. And the substantial musical
qualities of the cheapest organ are INST as re-
liable as in the costler kinds. The same ex-
ccllence OF mechanism is employed in all.
NEW STYLES FOR CHAPELS.
Powerful, yet smooth, and adapted per.
iectly to the requirements ofthe place.
ELEGANT STYLES
For Drawing Rooms, with elaborate and
tasteful ornaments.
Persons wishing Organs, either for public
or private use, are requested to send Tor the
new Catalogue.
MnP Prices as low as can be afforded fol
first-class instruments. 1t is rs good policy
with regard to organs as to dictionaries, to
GET THE BEST
SOLD ON INSZALLMENTS.

The recent death of Caleb Gushing re-
Gives the famous interchange of compli-

Cushing the following mock epitaph;
Lay aside oil We dead,
For in the next bed
Reposes the body of Gushing;

Though the world, they say.
And, even though dead, will be pushing

And green grows the grass that's above herr

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Murder and Suicide.

CHICAGO, August 5.-A most astonish-
ing murder and suicide occurred at 81
Polk street, this afternoon. Solomon
Sem, partner in the firm OF Schiller,
Kossman 4 Sem, ironiounders, shot the
foreman OF the firm, Conrad Engelnan,
through the head, and then after snap
ping the revolver at his own head, rciir-
ed into his private office and cut his
throat from ear tocar with knife. Both
men have families, were sober and
industrious and not quarrelsomc. Sem
was wealthy and Engleman was poor.
The quarrel was about pillar which
was being east in the shop, and which
Sem claimed was being spoiled by En-
gleman. The latter denied this and
and being paId off, Sem reiterated his
charge. Engelman gave him the liar,
and the double tragedy was at once en-
acted.

ScOOpcd S3S, $50.

CHICAGO, August Sit transpires
that the prominent attorney, at whose
instIgation Judge Drummond approved
the straw bond in the last match bond
fraud case, was Leonard SWEET The
facts will be made public tomorrow.
SWEET brought the men 10 Judge Drum
mond's chambers as the latter was about
TO depart for home, and asked him
to approve the bond. When questioned
as TO the sufiiciency OF the surctles,
SWEET introduced Baxter rs the man
who knew all about them. Baxter was
sworn, the bond was approved,
and the conspirators drew the
stamps, which they turned into
money. The amount was s., $50. Since
the discovery OF the fraud, Judge
Drummond has been greatly disturbed
about the matter and uncertain as to
the attorneys responsible. He finally
charged il upon SWEET, who confessed
that he was Baxter's attorney in
various suits involving crOokedness
and knew his character well. II only
Official honor is involved the bar con-
denim SWEET, but il more the question
il will the Secretary Of the Treasury
cause SWEET to be party in the crimi-
nal action now pending. The promi-
nence and ability OF SWEET as lawyer
adds interest 90 the case, and aprolound
sensation is predicted upon the publica-
ton Of the facts SWEET was the leading
attorney for the defense in the late trial
OF John VI. Mueller and Supervising
Architect Hill, before the United States
Court, for conspiracy TO defraud the
Government.

Pacific States would undoubtedly be
solid in his favor, and that he would
stand better chance in New York and
the other doubtful Northern States than
any of the other candidates whose mer-

The fever is gradually spreading from

The State Election.

LOUISVILLE, August 5.-The Courier
Journal has unofficial and definite re-
turns from about fifty counties, which
show falling off OF about one'third in
the aggregate, butabout the usual Dem
ocratic majority. The Republicans
have made legislative gains, but the Gen
eral Assembly. which two years ago Was
III Democratic, is now over 100. Black
burns majority for Governor is svariously
estimated at from 10000 To
10000. The vote recommending
a call for constitutional convention,
though supported by both parties, has
undoubtedly failed OF the required con-
stitutionaf majority. The election was
unusually quiet all over tine State, no
serious difficulty being reported. The
Grccnbackers have certainly elected
two members Of the Lower House Of the
Legislature, but there aggregate vote is
insigniiant. In this county Black
burn received 6,96l: Evans, i,0i9. At
the last gubcrnatorial race McCreary,
Democrat, received 9,706, Harlan, Re
publican, !, 100.

Otto Bridgeman, well known char

/ on Jimmie, our street commissioner
and jailor. He was working out fine
for drunkenness, and while at work on

ing his ankle. Jimmie kindly loOsened
the band and wrapped the supposed in

| chain so that he passed it over his foot,
and he made his escape. We suppose the

so sympathetic.
Mr.. Elmer Mckeever, son Of John
Mckeever, of Hendrysburg, met with
quite a serious accident last Monday
morning. lie was on horseback, and
while crossing the railroad on Chestnut

him TO the ground, breaking both bones

bier predicted and which was sure to
come, is yet to be seen. And as We hear
of the magnificent crops, the increasing
demands OF trade, and the awakening
and revival OF all departments OF busi-

complained OF these things. Why are
they not heard giving thanks for the
abundant harvest and bright prospect OF
better and happier times with as great a
relish as they sang their song OF gloom.
