The question of cotton storage and

Henry Greville's new Russian story,
"The Trials of RaisSa," is speedily to
be published by Messrs. T. B. Peter
son & Bros, Philadelphia. 1t deals
with life and love in the far-of domin-

from beginning to end. No one can
write a Russian novel like Henry
Greville.
Nearly every householder in the
city and the suburbs as well, keeps a
handy shot gun or a trusty revolver in
good shape, and within easy reach,

handle them cleverly, and the MAORI

badly scared.

Memphis is bound to be foremost.
even in genius, of which it has a score
or more. The latest new invention is
the patent window blind slat securer,
invented and patented by our fellow
citizen, Geo. H. Becker. The device
for controlling and securely locking
the stats Of outside blinds in any de.
sired position, is novel, simple, YET
practical, and after having applied the
same to our own residence, we are sur.
prised that such device had not beer
invented long before this date. Fol
ventilating rooms during rain the de-
vice is indispensable; for preventing
sneak thieves TO enter the rooms
through the windows, it is as safe az
the lock on the door. The greatest
merit in the invention, however, con.
sists in the simplicity of its construc.
ton and application, and the very low
price this useful invention is sold
We bespeak for the inventor a ricl
harvest, and cheerfully recommend
his invention.

a Popular Ministry.

A ministry that pleases everybody, especially
in the Presbyterian Church. may well suspect
itself. Look at the doctrines we preach-hu.
man depravity, our Lords true Deity. the atone
ment on the Cross, the Personality and work of
the Holy Ghost the need by every man,-the
most amiable and cultivated-of being regenera-
ted, the Bible the sole rule of faith, self denial
part of true Christian living retribution on
the impenitent concurrent with natural immor-
tality, the obligation of the Sabbath and all
this with a worship conspcuously plain and
free from snowy and meretrcious decoration
Make all this palatable to society" the world"
everybody No: this whole message tramples
on the pride of human intellect it belittles the
boosted culture of the time, and it is, if under
stood, in direct opposition to the life" which
we are being persuaded to import and servllely
copy, from Paris. Then what am I to do 2"
one may say. Go on and preach these truths,
only more clearly, firmly, and tenderly, But
what if the people leave me2" Yes some will
leave you and go to churches they like better
assigning various reasons for the same. That is
their matter. Yours is to preach for the saving
of men, not for the keeping of them in the pews
But cultivated and well-to do people will
quit the church" Let them. 1t is so much
the worse for them. Remember Pauls words
Not many wise, mighty noble, are called"
q" But it IS pity they should not be saved"
Certainly, but it is by the truth they are to Be
saved and you are teacher of the truth But
| may set them against it." Yes and if your
spirit is bad, you will be verify guilty in so
doing. But if yours is the right spirit, then
your ministry will be like Christs which
irritated, and drove off not few, especially of
the ,ritualists, and intellectual kind. For
judgment am come into this world; that they
which see not might see, and that they which
see might be made blind" DR. John Hall in
