Accidentally n way has been dis
covered by which church debt
can be paid of within u very brief
period Of time. There was union
festival held in Arcadia, Ohio, a
lew evenings since, union festival
being festival given by several
churches together, The object Of
The festival was for some public
charity, and in tho course Of the
evening ono lady, who was some
what given TO remarks, suggested
that the proceeds could be better
applied by using them to pay the
debt of a certain church. A lady
Belonging TO the certain church
overheard the remark, and 1t
ranked in the cotton. But al

lacerated with conflicting emotions
by the cruel remark, she did not
say anything. After the opera was

show u very mean spirit in any
woman If she would not make re-
marks about another church which
would have the effect to pay of the
debt. They could not tell but
what they would SEQ the time
themselves when they would want
somo one TO make exasperating re-
marks about their church. 1t is
always best to be accommodating
in these things.
Republicans are having n good
deal OF fun over the row in the
democratic convention at Madison,
when Sat Clark challenged Col.
Villas democracy. We "point with

cratic convention did not split in
two, and the members call each
other such horrid names as mem.
bers Of the Chicago republican con,
vention did. When the democratic
row was over the rioters shook
hands and fell upon each Others
necks and wept. The Chicago re,
