How an Actress Joined Robert
COllyer'S Church.


After the reading of the Scripture in the
Unitarian Church of the Messiah, in New
York, on Sunday, by the Rev. Robert Collyer,
a lady dressed in black advanced to the front
of the platform, and stood with her head
slightly inclined as the pastor descended to the
lower step. Beneath the drawn veil of the
lady in black, pair of large brilliant eyes il
Illuminated pleasant face, and her admirably
fitting dress revealed graceful figure. The
minister opened his book and read the sim
pie form required for admission into the Uni
tartan Church. The responses of the appii-
cant for fellowship were given in strong clear
tones. This over, the right hand of fellowship
was extended to the lady, and she was a
member of the church. The quiet dignity of
complete self-possesscn, used'many curious
eyes to wander to her seat during the sue
ceeding sermon. Just previous to the singing
of the closing hymn, Mr.. Collyer said:
am very glad that our dear sister has seen
fit to unite with us to-day. She has always
been a good woman, and hereafter the sphere
of her usefulness will be greatly enlarged.
She is an actress "a slight but perceptible start
of surprise on the part of the congregation, and
renewed looks of curiosity,] and as an actress.
| / am glad she has come into our church.
| hope hereafter that the barrier between
| church and theatre will be entirely broken
! down. and that actors and actresses may
| mingle with us, that we may lose our disdain
| for them, and they, in turn. their disdain for
us. Many of them do a noble work of good in
| TIE high ideals and examples which they so
! grandly interpret. While living in Chicago
| it was my pleasure to know intimately many
| players, and l held them in the highest es-
| TEEN as true men and women. l hope that
we shall all go to the theatre that the church
es may be improved and trust that those
whose profession is the stage will go to church
that the stage may be improved, for 1 am sure
that mutual benefit is to be obtained from
| such course.
| The lady was Miss Ada Monk. After the
services she was warmly welcomed by many
| of the ladies of the congregation. Her en-
gagement during the season Just closed was
| with the Fanny Davenport Company.

rendered without abdicating one of the funda.
mental powers of the government: that the
national laws relating to the election of repre-
sentatlves IN Congress shall neither be VIC.
lated nor evaded; that every elector shall be
permitted freely and without intimidation to
cast his lawful ballot at such election and have
1t honestly counted, and that the potency of
his vote shall not be destroyed by the fraudu-
lent vote of any other person.
Gen. Garfield's references to other topics
such as education, finance, customs duties,
internal improvements, Chinese immigration
and the civil service are merely brief state
ments of his well known views, and repre-
sent the best sentiment and opinion of the
Republican party. We are fortunate in
having for candidate statesman so long
and prominently connected with public af-
fairs that formal statement of his views is
really unnecessary. We all know from his
long and useful public life what is his attitude
towards all the important questions now un-
der discussion and what position he is likely
to take on those which may arise in the flu
ture. Again and again we congratulate the
Republican party on having for leader so
able, sincere, conscientious and practiced
statesman as Gen. Garfield,

Some of the Female Nihilists.

A Moscow letter to the London News de-
scribes the appearance of the female prisoners
at recent trial OF Nihilists "Three of them
are certainly very unprepossessing. Nine.
Kalenkins, who first called herself Feodorcva,
is of refined lady-like type. Her thin, COM
pressed lips give some indication of the deter
mined daring shown in firing at two police
officers who came to arrest her. Malinovka,
her companion, is of a very different type.
Although twenty-six, her hair is cut short, and
her rough, chubby face gives rather the ap-
pearance of youth in his teens. The labored
breathing and open mouth show weakness
which is observable in the spare physique.
However, she is the only female prisoner un-
married. The other Two women are certainly
ill-favored by nature, wear spectacles, have
snub noses, and their hair being brushed back
shows very high foreheads, which do not add
to their appearance, although they indicate in
teliigence, which is shown in carefully follow
ing all the proceedings. These four women
are not inapt ideals of the female Nihilist.

Gen. Hancock as a Statesman,

The Cleveland Leader of the 2Sth says:
We have watched our Democratic exchanges
and carefully searched for the principles that
General Hancock carries in his saddle valise
The result of our search can be summed up as
follows:
On the subject of currency, he is magnifi-
cent looking fellow.
On the subject of tariff he is splendid SOL
dier
On the subject of free trade he wears bril-
liant uniform.
On the subject of river and harbor improve
ments he makes grand appearance on horse
back.
On State rights he appears well in his epau-
let's and brass buttons.
On civil service reform he has fine mill
tary bearing.
On the SO called reform in the administra-
ton of the Government he is modern Murat
On the Indian question he is the finest look
ing Indian fighter the country ever produced,
Notwithstanding that for every Indian killed.
it cost the Government $4,500,000
On the subject of hanging Mrs. Surratt he
hung her in a soldierlike manner; but he
would rather nothing be said about it.
gallant soldier, and made himself popular with
every Ku-Klux, White Liner, bulldozer and
ballot-box stuffer.
On the subject of foreign relations he wears
a splendid moustache.
On the school question he isa handsome
looking man.
On all other questions of public policy he
has martial bearing.

DANvERs, 9TH, 7th no., 1880.
Hon G. W. Cate, 4n,esbury: Dear Friend
4 regret to find that 1 cannot, as 1 intended,
be present at the formation of a Republican
Club for Amesbury and Salisbury on the 7th
inst, l must not, however, let the occasion
pass without expressing my hearty sympathy
with the movement, and my desire to cooper
ate with you in your labors, in support of1
candidate OF pure character, wise statesman
ship ana lifelong fidelity to the principles of
the Republican party, the Union of the States
and the security of the rights of person, prop
erty and franchise. For myself / would glad
ly find an excuse for retiring from active par
ticipation in the coming election, and would
welcome with inexpressble relief any decided
manifestation of more general and enlight-
ened policy on the part of Democrats toward
the people of color. But look in vain for any
good evidence of a change which would Justify
relaxation of zeal and vigilance on our part. l
have no words of personal diSpara cement for
the Democratic nominee, and do full Justice
to the sincerity and patriotism of many of his
supporters; but as rule, the party remains as
it was at the close of the war. The time has
not come when it will be safe to intrust the
financial interests OF the country, and the well
fare of the emancipated class, to party whose
President can only be elected by compromises
with the. greenback heresy, and the virtual
suppression by fraud and violence of the vote
OF the colored citizens of the Southern States.
Massachusetts is not doubtful State. Her
vote will be given to the Republican nominee.
But let us see to it that her voice at the.coming
election has the strong emphasis of the days Of

EXTRACT from an Argus editorial of Au-
gust 5, 1872: ''The most sanguine Liberal
Republican Democrat could not have
dreamed, one month ago. that in so brief a
period as has since elapsed the campaign
could virtually be ended and Grants defeat
assured, leaving only the formality of voting,
and the question as to the extent of Gree
ley's majority, to be afterwards settled; but
so it is, in very deed and fact. There are
some who still will brazen out the thing in
Grants interest-pretend to have some
hope, and fight on to give their candidate
a respectable showing in the race; but in
wardly every sagacious Grant man gives up
the contest from this!hour'

grain exported is stated at 13,676,0OO BUSH

transport the immense quantity of grain from
New York, mentioned above, required the

II seems that Gen. Hancock was removed
from command in Louisiana by Gen. Grant
for removing the common council of New
Orleans and appointing new one to his
liking. This doesn't look as if Gen Han
cock always exalted the civil above the
