Election Frauds in Ph,ladelpn.a.
From st. Louis Republican.

| From st. Louis Republican
| The practice of frauds at elections in
Philadelphia has become SO habitual,
methodlcai and prescriptive as almost to
| DEFY correction. 1t Is not the voters who
commit them by repeated voting but the
election officials by fraudulent counting or
refusing TO count. The habit has grown
into such precedent that even reputable
men. when appointed officers of election.
ind It almost impossible to do their duty
fairly. Since the municipal election last
February. thirty persons have been arrest
| ed and bound over for trial on charges of
frauds which consisted in changing and
destroying ballots and altering the returns
| after the votes had been counted. The
| proof against them is declared to have
been positive and direct, for the fraudulent
practices were so common that little effort
was made to conceal them; they were
openly com mitted, because the thought of
| punishment was never entertained. The
community was surprised. therefore, when
it was announced that the grand-jury had
| ignored the bill against one OF the most
| prominent offenders, and the prosecuting
attorney himself vas forced to inform the
court that he would not send any more bills
for political offences to that grand-jury.
The opinion prevails that the grand,jury,
oeinR selected by machinery IN control
OF the offenders and their friends. refused
to indict them. The prosecuting attorney
intends to bring tbs other cases befor g
| the next grand jury, but whether that body
will be any better than the present one is
| matter invested with serious doubt. The
entire election machinery IN Philadelphia
| is IN the hands of the Republicans, and il
seems that they even cheat one another.
At the last session of the legislature an
act was passed ito regulate the holding of
and prevent frauds in the primary elec-
ton of the Republican party held in the
country Of Beaver" This law is not worth
the paper it is printed on. for it is spec
iai enactment, and, in addition, applies to
the irresponsible agents of an irresponsi
BILE party; nevertheless it plainly indicates
the quarter where election frauds are the
fashion.

particular family or people, but these priv
ileges are freely offered TO all, the offer,

the faith (or terms Of membership are all
said to be catholic or universal, VIZ. open
to all, not necessarily accepted by all.
This offer is called the Gospel, the preach

Of the Lord
The books Of the New Testament have
to some extent their counterpart in the
Old. Thus the -Four Gospels correspond
with the Peutateuch, as they contain an
account of the Origin and Law Of the Gov
enant; the Acts of the Apostles, with the
historical books, Especially Joshua and
Judges; the twenty-one Epistles, with the
Prophets; and Revelations, with conc,ud-
ing portions Of Daniel and Ezekiel.
The divisions Of the New Testament are:
1st, Constitutional and Historicali 2d,
Didactic; 3D., Prophetic Didaotic. These
are not in their chronological order; prob
ably the earliest is 1st Thessalonians, and
the latest that to the Hebrews. The sub
scriptions are not authentic.
Revelations is the only prophetic book
Of the New Testament, and much Of it re.
mains unfulflled. 1t closes the Conon OF
Scripture and the Revelation OF God to
man.
How thankful we should be for this
great and good book, and how hard we
should strive to do our duty, as is taught
in the Bible. But how many there are
who reject this great gift, and do not care
for its teachingsl There are many who,
although they never read this wonderful
book, have it laying on the center-table or
mantle-shelf as sort of ornament, cover
ed with dust, unopened and unnoticed.
How many of us, having received letter
from friend, lay it aside unopened and
unread? This is what we do II we never
open our Bible to study its truths and
promises. Let us no longer neglect to
study and learn its great truths, but know
what it requires of US, and live according
to its teachings, that we may at last reap
a rich reward.

PIsorCULTURE.--Th efforts Of the gov
ernment to stock the waters Of the country
with the best fish for food, is we'll known.
Hatohing ponds are spread over the coun-
try in various directions. Laterly these
establishments haYe been constructed at
the capital Of the nation near the note
worth Washington monument. Some Of
the carp, brought from Germany only
three years ago, were transferred from the
larger to the smaller Matching ponds, The
quality Of these fish is claimed to be even
better than our salmon or brook trout.
They hold the foremost place for the table
OF any OF the soaly tribes on the continent
of Europe. They grow to generous size,
attain their proportions very rapidly, and
multiply with enormous abundance. Some
Of these three year old fish undergoing
this change, weighed from four to seven
pounds. The purpose is to stock the va
rious portions of the waters OF the coun-
try for propagation, as soon as sufficient
quantities arc raised for fair distribu-
tion.

The Supreme Court OF Indiana has de-
cided that selling cigars at Il hotel stand
on Sunday is work OF necessity" and
hence that the seller cannot be indicted
under the statute. The court says that
smoking cigar is as much necessity to
those who have acquired the habit as drink
ing tea or coffee Isl that there is as much
necessity for continuing this habit on
Sunday as on any day of the week, and
that whatever is necessary and proper to
do on Sunday to supply this constant daily
need is work OF necessity within the
meaning of the law. 1t is not unlawful,
the court holds, to keep hotel on Sunday
in the same way that il is usually kept on
a week day, and II hotel keeps cigar
stand, which is part OF its establishment,
and from which 1t sells cigars to its guests
and customers on week pay, it is not un-
lawful 10 sell cigars from the same stand
In the same way on Sunday. "There is no
difference legally between the act Of sell
ing a cigar under such circumstances and
the act Of furnishing cup OF tea or cof'
fee, or q meal of victuals, or supplying any
other daily want to customer on Sunday
for pay. IN y. Times.

The Bible.

The Bible is the law or will OF God.-
The Bible, as the title OF the collected
books Of the Old and New Testaments, Is
not found earlier than the fifth century.
IL is divided into two distinct parts, the
Old and New Testaments, the Old Testa-
ment containing thirty.nine books, and
tho new twenty-seven. The Hebrews di-
vided their scriptures into three parts, the
Law, the Prophets and the Scriptures.
The Law comprises the five books OF Mos
es. This general appellation Of "The
Prophets" was given to those twenty-one
books because they were written by proph-
cts. The Scriptures include the remain
ing books Of the Hebrew Canon.
DIVISIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE.
The books in our Old Testament are con.
veniently arranged according to their sub
ject matter, thusi LIST, The Pentateuoh,
or five books Of Moses; End, The Histori-
cal books, from Joshua to the end Of Es-
ther; Sd, The Poetical or Devotional
Books, from Job to the Songs Of Solomon
4th, The Prophetical, from Isaiah to NAL
aChi.
The Peutateuch, or Ave books, are as.
cribed TO Moses by all tradition, Jewish
and heather, and are quoted by nearly all
tue bhcIeu MIllNIut anu uJ Oul A4uIh bAh
his Apostles. The Historical books, from
Joshua TO Esther inclusive, contain the
history Of the lsraelite people during theiI
national life. The Poetioal books, inolud'
ing Job TO Cantioles, were written at yari.
GUS times, some being Of earlier others Ui
later date than the Historical books. They
are classed together, partly because they
are in Hebrew verse, but mainly because
they formed devotional books Of the jew.
ish Church. The Book Of Job was the
penitential reading for the great feasts
the Psalms, the general hymn.book
throughout tho year; the Cantica, the fes'
tive oratorio; Proverbs and Ecolesiastes
the manual ofpractioal precept for regula'
tion Of daily life. The Prophetical books
Jonah, Joel, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Nahum
and Zephania, prophesled before the cap
tiyity; jeremiah, Habakuk, Ezekiel anC
Daniel, during IL, and uaggai, Zaohariah
and Malachi after the Restoration, and II
the chronological order given here. TIL,
arrangement Of these books in our Bibl,
Is ruled more by the matter, the fou
greater books being placed first, instead 0

n Disagree0ble Disease ArOided

The receipt for making this WONDERFUL REMEDY

Honolulu, Hawaiian Island, where he resided for more
than twelve years.
Mr. Peavey, that time, was suffering from catarrl,

began to use as directed To his surprise and joy he
found relief after the first trial, and in short time
'he entirely cured. ,

quantities and sold and gave it away to his friends
