Wheeler, Charles Mix County. d. r..
February Sd, 1Ss0.-Editors Press and Ec.
kotaias FL take pleasure in informing you
that a most emf nyaole party was given last
Saturday evening at the residence Of b.
Coumoyer at this place, which was attended
BY thirty couples. The spacious hall pre-.
sented a scene Of beauty and gayety that wac
pleasant to look upon, Among the persons
present, I will mention Mr.. Fall. and fam.
lily, Mr.. Picard and family, Misses Du.
charme, Mrs. Emery and family, Mr.. Van
dorm and family, MI. Banning and family,
and others deserving mention but whose
names we are unable to produce. From Fl.
Randall we had the pleasure Of meeting
Francis Ducharme, a Trustworthy clerk Of
the adjutant's Office, Let infantry, and Mons.
E. P. Messier, post school teacher.
At Z p. N. the floor manager, an agreeable
gentleman, called off for the grand march.
The cheerful call, anxiously awaited, was at
once obeyed, and thirty couples followed
the excellent music rendered by j.
Coumoyer. The grand march, led by
Mons. E. p. Messier and Mics Armenia
Coumoyer, was indeed conducted admirably
we'll. Old and young alike Joined in the
pleasures Of The evening. The young folk,
and some that we noticed were not so
young, engaged in the mazzv dance tripping
the light fantastic and forgetting in the
pleasures of the hour the hum.drum of
every day life. The hall was occupied
by the dancers, and music was furnished by
Mr.. j. Coumoyer and Mons. Messier. The
ladies old and young were dressed in the
most attractive style. In the adjoining
room the more sedately inclined engaged in
social converse, aud in the interchange of
good feeling and more quiet enjoyment.
Mr.. Coumoyer and family we're almost on,-
nipresent in their .e%ndeavors to make the
party feel perfectly at their ease. At a
reasonable hour supper was announced and
Mr.. Messier and partner led the company
to the table. With merry laughter and the
interchange OF repartee and small talk, the
evening passed with pleasure to all, and
will furnish a subject for the younger guests
to dream upon and talk about for weeks to
come. Z. p. M.

Converts EeinG Rapidly Made by Arab
Missionaries.
London Spectator.

London Spectator.
In Africa the Arab missionarie s are indie
tatigable; hey penetrate into regions which
no European has ever seen, and they convert
whole tribes at once. raising those tribes, 1t
should be added. decidedly i'll the scale Of
civilization. a Houssa, for example, is far
beyond any other negro Of the western coast.
There is more than a possibility, a strong
probability, that they will, before many gen
~erations have elapsed, have converted all
the remaining pagan tribes Of Africa, and
have made that continent, Abyssinia excepted,
Mussuiinan from the Mediterranean TO the
Iambesi: and possibly, though that Is u diff
ftrent question, have built up very extensive
kingdoms. In Arabia the creed tends con-
stantly to become muis ianatlCal and earnest.
In India, as is now we'll understood, from the
census records, Mussulman expansion never
ceases. Their peculiar philosophy. with its
sovereign deity unbound even by h8 own
laws, sole source Of right, as we'll as sole
claimant of loyalty, attracts the Indian mind;
while their dogma ct equality within the
faith is irresistible to castles which suffer day
by day from the pressure OF The social he'll
arthv. y p..riah who becomes "A MlissulInan
becomes also Il respectable man. 1t was stated
40 years ago by very acute missionaries that
slam gained more i'll India than II lost III the
remaiud-r Of the world; Sir George Camp
bell declared officially that Bengal was be-
comm. Il MuSsulmau province, with llindus
intersJnrstd and in Madras whole villages
become Mussulman at once. There must be
more than $4,000 900 Of Mussulmans in India,
the conversions having gone on throughout
the great Hindu revival which has attended
our rule, and the possibility that all India
might become Mussulman has been repeat
cdlv discussed. Our W impression is, we
confess, that this will be the case; that this
form Of theislm has tor dark races an at
traction which the Gospel has not, and that
the death blow of the Oldest paganism will
come not from Christianity, but from the
only form of monotheism which Indians
seem able both to comprehend and approve.
Even if the Mussulmans should win only the
bulk of the lower classes, as they have done
In many Bengalee districts, the position OF
the Brahmins will become a painful one,
while the British chance of peaceful ascend
ency will be materially diminished. Mussul-
mans can live in peace with Hindus, and even
imbib1 some of their ideas, such as The
iaturalness OF caste but their tendency is to
rule, and their spiritual pride, when com
pressed, is apt TO develop into an overmaster'
ing passion, They will bear oppression from
their own people, as We see in Turkey, and
even from foreigners, as regards their civil oil
political rights. but TO be oppressed because
they are Mussulmans cXcites them beyond al
hearing.
