When Dr.Lyman Beecher was
pastor in Boston, he had many
conversions at his church, espec-
tally of young men. One who
had been anxious for some time,
and had attended several inqui-
ry-meetings, being asked ON one
Of these occasions how he was
getting on, replied that he was
in the dark, and received no light.
DR.. Beecher, having learned the
nature OF the young mans bust
ness, said to him: ''Do you think
you can sell rum and gotoheaven?
God will never bless you in such
business. You must renounce
it or you can never become a
Christian. For your souls sake,
abandon it. You must quit it,
or go to hell.
These words went to his heart.
He attended one or two more in
quiry-meetings, and was no more
seeking to become Christian.
1t was d turning-point with him,
He concluded not to give up rum
selling.
WHAT A MOTHER CAN DO.
The late Hon. Thomas II. Ben

The Red Men.

Last evening the Red Men of this city
gave their Grst annual ball, and the affair
was mos: enjoyable one. The Armory
Hall was selected as the ball room and
the supper was given In Aster's Hall. Mr.
John Aster being the caterer. There
we're aboutt two hundred aud fifty persons
present. and dancing was kept up till the
morning had well advanced. The pro
gramme was arranged with good taste
and the dancers enjoyed themselves to
their utmost bent. Biehls band dis
coursed the music and this fact is sufficient
to show that nothing was wanting in that
respect. In the ball room the tents and
emblems of the order were prominent
features and the members wore their
regalia part of the time as matter OF
etiquette.
The order of Red men, Is claimed to be
tho Oldest established order in this con-
tinent. but the lodge 10 this city was only
established last March. It had twenty
three enrolled members, and the number
has increased to sixty. which is indicative
of the favor in which the order is held. A
lodge has recently been established in
Moline and is gaining accessions to its
mem bership rapidly. The objects of the
order are fraternal love and benefits to
the members, which principles are suf
6cient to establish the Red Men as 8 per-
manent organization and to increase the
muster roll of members not only here but
throughout the country.

On Monday evening the council meets
in regular session, and there will no doubt
be an effort Eade to pass measure for
the redistricting of the city. There is no
occasion for redistrictipg now, and it is
hoped the counsel will adopt the same
course thus far pursued, and decline to
Incur the expense oe redistricting until
after census is taken, which will be time
enough for all purposes. There is no
present necessity for doing the work SOON
er. and except to make the number of
aldermen to be elected IA instead of 10,
and please the Union clique. there is no
reason why the expense should be incurr-
ed. Let the redistricting of the city go
over until the census is taken. when it can
be done intelligently and correctly. The
matter of eIecting the city marshal and other
officers not now elective. should be defeated.
The city cannot afford to turn every officer
into political wire worker, and the only
way to prevent it, fand to preclude the
probability of q city ring" to keep the off,
css of city marshal, superintendent of
streets, superintendent of water works,
weighmaster, etc.. under control of the
mayor and council. By this means. any
malfeasance in Office or dereiction of duty
can be summariIy checked, and in 40 other
way. The council has won the respect of
the community by their wise action thus
far, and they can still further gain the
esteem of the community by continuing to
uphold the city's interest in refusing to
re-distriot the city now, or to change the
mode of appointing the subordinate city
officials.
