For instance the supporters OF the eX-1TesluttiII

the former excluded and when any district dele

Bv these two decisions General Grant is certain 10

The Religion Of the Puebl0s.

The theology of the Pueblo Indians
has a good deal of the fantastic in it, as
well as much that is actually abomina.
BILE. These Indians are generally called
sun worshipers, but they are pantheists
in every sense of the word. They wOr-
ship the sun, moon, stars, rainbow, fire,
water, rivers, mountains, trees, stones,
snakes, bears and animals generally.
For all these, or their generic heads.
there are official priests, whose duty it
is to summon to their assistance subalt-
erns and as many of the people as are
necessary to observe the rites of that
particular deity. Many children are
dedicated to this service in infancy by
their parents, and many grown people
dedicate themselves. But whether they
are dedicated or give themselves, they
are thereafter under the full control Of
the power to whom they are dedicated.
Mem and women have to leave their
families night and day for weeks. per-
haps, at time, closed up in dark back
rooms practicing the internal incanta-
tions of their craft, and doing those
things which even the heather eye may
not be permitted to look upon. 1t is
from these places of darkness that the
most corrupting influences of heathen-
ism proceed; Of these the most destruc-
tive to the present well-being of the
people is unbridled icentiousness.

Republican majority In the House of
Representatives, and, as soon as the
State Legislatures can take the neces-
sary action, there will be Republican
majority in the Senate.
Thus the new Executive, who will
take into his Office craftsmanship and
an experience and an intellectual ability
that have never been surpassed by any
of his predecessors, will be supported
by q National Legislature acting in
harmony with him; and the country, in
the assurance of a permanency of the
policies of the past, will 60 on prosper
ing with that industry and enterprise
which have made the last four years of
our history SO brilliant and glorious.
The election will convey q lesson to
the Democrats of the North and of the
South which they can study with profit.
1t has made Nationality a fundamental
principle of American Government. and
principle no longer to be questioned
or disputed.-Chicdgo Tribune.

The National Verdict.

The election on the I'd was an ex-
preston of the National will whose inn
port cannot be mistaken. No man,
Democrat or Republican, whether re-
siding in the Northern or Southern
States, can be so obtuse as to fail in
comprehending the full meaning of the
National verdict. The country has de-
clared with emphatic force that the
Republican party has not forfeited pub
lie confidence, and with equal force
that the Democratic party is as repulsive
to the National mind as it was when
rebellion threatened the integrity of the
Union.
1t had cost too much taxation, and
privation, and precious lives topreserve
the Union against an open and armed
foe to permit all the results of that
struggle to be imperiled by committing
the National destinies to the control Of
q party dominated by the men who led
the civil war. The Solid South chal-
lenged the Nation, and the Nation re-
sponded at the polls.
Never at any time in the history OF
the Union was there such a period of
general prosperity; never was labor SO
remuneratively and generally employed; I;
never was thrift and industry SO liber-
ally rewarded as at the present time.
1t was an insult to popular intelligence
to demand that, after having carried
the country through civil war, through
years of financial distress and want of
credit, and re-established the Govern
ment politically and financially on an
unexampled plane of prosperity, the
control of National affairs should be
given over to the men and to the party
in spite of whose labors these grand re-
suits had been accomplished. The de-
mand for a change was peremptorily
made, and thatdemanded was answered
at the polls by the American people.
The American people showed theirfun
appreciation of the character of the man
who ought to be chosen as the Execu-
tive of free people. They desired a
statesman of experience. a man OF abil-
ity, scholar, man of refinement and
of high personal character. Such q
man was presented to them In the per-
son of General Garfield. The canvass
since June last has been one of the
vilest detraction. When slander and
vilification failed, then there was re-
sort to forgery in order to injure him.
To all these calumnies the American
people made answer, and have placed
the brand of dishonor upon the entire
party which employed, approved, or
consented to these means of detrac-
ton. Never was there more scandalous
and infamous warfare made upon can
didate, and never was there nobler or
more emphatic vindication.
The results of the election will be en-
during. The ascendency of the Solid
South and its allies in the National
Legislature will be summarily ended.
In addition to the reelection of Re-
publican Executive, there was elected

Furnishes any sale of adulterated food
Ito the prejudice of the purchaser. !"
A detective, suspecting milk dealer,
bought half pint of his milk and had
it anyalyzed. when it proved to be one
fourth watered. The milk dealer was
prosecuted; when his counsel urged
that the sale was not to the prejudice
of the purchaser. For, said he Tin
effect), this detective got Just what he
wanted-a sample for analysis. He did
not even pay for it with his own money;
and he lost nothing by the watering.
And the magistrate actually discharged
the dealer on this ground. But the
Queens Bench Judges decided in favor
of the detective.
In some cases the decision has been
against the detectives device. One
narrative is that, years ago, when the
English Government had a standing re-
ward for the capture of highway rob
bers, a man put money into his pocket
and went to a sequestered spot, while a
coadjutor advised third man, whom
the two thought would be likely to COM
init robbery If he knew Of q good OPP
portunity, to go and rob No. 1. The
person thus advised complied. and was
arrested and tried. Another narrative
is that man planning a burglary asked
another to assist him, but the latter in
formed the proprietor of the building,
and the police authorities. BY their
advice he enticed the contriver of the
scheme to proceed with the plan;
marked money was laid in the house,
and after the house had been entered
aud the money taken the Sheriff came
forward at signal and arrested the
principal with the money in his pocket.
The Judges in cases like these have
said that no legal crime was proved.
No doubt the accused men intended
crime and were morally guilty, but, in
truth. the money was taken or the
building entered by the owners
consent; therefore it was not rob-
berry or burglary. In st. Louis.
q year or two ago, q physician
was suspected of dealing, through the
mails, in immoral and prohibited arti-
cles, and a detective prepared a letter
to him asking if he could furnish one.
This letter was dated from a place in
Georgia, was written and signed in a
and, through the aid of the st. Louis
Post-office clerks, was stamped and de-
ivered as though it had come from
dressed to the supposed woman, say
ing, 81 have what you desire; price
SO" The st. Louis Post-office clerks,
instead of forwarding the letter to the
fictitious address in Georgia, gave it to
the detective. and he instituted pros
ecution. The court discharged the ply
sician. The Judges said that no doubt
he intended to violate the law, and was
morally guilty. But what the law for
bade was "giving information" where
the forbidden articles could be bought.
Laying out of view the detectives let
ter of inquiry. the physicians answer
would not give information to any one;
no one, reading it alone, could under
stand it. Thus, whatever he intended,
he had actually only given information
to a detective in aid Of his police work;
and this is not punishable.-Benyami,s
v Abbon, tn Christian Union.

Pin Folklore.

One would scarcely imagines that the
pin should be the subject of folklore.
Curious to say, however, it is the OBJ
ject of many a superstition, and has
been very largely used for purposes OF
enchantment. Indeed, the magical
uses of pins are most extensive, and,
under q variety of forms, are found in
our own and other countries. The fol-
lowing rhyme, embodying this fanciful
notion, is still in use:
All the day you'll have good luck;
See pin and let it lie,
All the day you'n have to cry.
Why, however, North country peo-
refusal to give one another q pin it is
not easy to discover, as even they them
selves cannot give the origin and rea-
SON of this superstition. When asked
for pin they invariably say, "You
may take one; but mind. 1 do not give
it." 1t may, perhaps, have some con-
against giving knife or other sharp in
strument, as mentioned by Gay in his
Shepherds Week.
For knives, they tell me, always sever love.
"a supposition as popular now as in
the days gone by. Another fact asso-
ciated with pins will doubtless interest
those of the fair sex about to enter on
the happy state of matrimony. 1t is
still prevalent belief in certain places
that q bride, in removing her bridal
robe and chaplet at the completion of
special care to throw away every pin
fIso avAntf,,l Ex-.I
tune, it is affirmed, will, sooner or
later, overtake the bride who keeps
even one pin used in the marriage
toilet. Woe also to the bridemaids if
they retain any of them, as their
chances of marriage will thereby be
materially lessened, and anyhow they
must give up all hope of being welded
before the following Whitsuntide. On
the other hand, in Sussex, Eng. a bride
on her return home from church is
often robbed of all the pins about her
dress by her single friends present,
from the belief that whoever possesses
one of them will be married in the
course of ayear. Much excitement and
amusement are occasionally caused by
the youthful competitors for this sup
posed charm, and the bride herself is
not unfrequently the victim of rather
rough treatment.
Among the magical properties of
pins, we may mention their supposed
efficacy in the cure of certain diseases.
Thus, in Leicestershire, Eng, in the
case of warts, the patient is taken to an
ash tree, where pin is first stuck into
the bark. and withdrawn; q wart is
transfixed with it till he teels pain, and
then the pin is again pushed into the
tree. Every wart thus treated is said
to die away gradually until they entire
ly disappear. A few years ago some
trees might be seen thickly studded
over with pins, each the index of q
cured wart. In connection with this
superstition there is o well known
couplet:
Ashen tree, ashen tree,
Pray buy these warts OF me.
In place Of a pin nail driven into an
oak is reported to cure toothache.
