LIBERTY OF THOUGHT.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled
again with the Yoke of bondage.
IIANs wi.
When the Christian religion was establish
ed there was no intention of contracting it.
or dwsrfing the intellect of mankind. The
teachings of Christ were broad enough to
embrace all humanity. They excluded no
race from the benefits of the new religion;
they admitted of the broadcast freedom of
thought. Emancipation from the forms
and the ideas of past ages was the motive of
the new dIspensation. Phariseesm re-
ceived its death blow at the hands OF the
master, and men came to be measured for
what they were really worth rather
than for what they protested.
The religion that Christ taught
was not one of profession but of practice.
He was the embodiment of good works
himself He went about doing good. He
did not ask what a mans creed was,
but if he was in distress he aided him. He
healed the sick, restored sight to the blind
and made the lame to walk, but we have no

before the conference for the heinous crime
of having preached the religion of love
rather than that of hate-with having asserted
that some persons who were not included
in the Methodist dispensation might
have chance of salvation in the world to
come. He hss preached the gospel of
Christ, and pronounced decidedly in favor
of the efficacy of good works as means not
only of temporal happiness but as means
bywhich the deity would be pleased. In the

MR.. TYRES DECLINES THE GREEN
BACK NOMINATION.

The GLOBE hRs been aware from the first
that Hon. Ebeneezer Ayres. of Cottage
Grove, did not intend to be candidate for
Congress. The Greenback nomination was
rendered to him without consultation, and
he no sooner learned of it than he stated
that he should decline as soon as he received
official notice of the nomination. This de.
termination he has put in force, as the fol-
lowing letter shows:
To the Editor of the Globe.
By permission of the Hon. E. Ayres, of
Washington county, I am authorized to say to
you, and through your widely circulated pa.
per, to inform the National Greenbackers of
the Third Congressional district that MIR.
Ayres de clines the nomination as candidate for
member of Congress from the Third di strict.
Mr.. Ayers says he is not, and never has been a
candidate for such nomination; he also does
not consider it within his province to make
any suggestions, or give any ADVICE to Green
hackers, as to which of the two candidates in
the field they should vote for. leaving it to the
discretion and good judgment of those intend
ing to vote, to select and support the nominee
whose past record, public and private would
in the absence of the Greenback candidate.
most likely be acceptable to the National
Greenbackers of the Third district. Yours yefv
respectfully,
JAS. STARKEY,
Chairman State Central Committee National

These things do to read about as sort of
fanaticism, which has its time and place. So
it has, but the worst obtuseness about half the
present generation is that Scott inside of that

Moore, the poet, could believe very little OF

he and Mr.. Merry, the British minister, called
on him by appointment, he wore worsted stock

small grocer, and straightway it is recorded
in his journal, and many years after given to

The railroad war is ended. The presi-
dents of the several companies in interest
have come to the conclusion that there is a
more profitable business than that of cutting
each others throats, and truce has been
declared. The public has been benefited to
slight extent, and the fact has also been
demonstrated that the railroads generally
are charging altogether too much for passen-
ger transportation. The result will probably
be permanent reduction Of rates on most
of the Eastern lines.

GARFIELD declared against the workingmen
In letter written last January, in which he
states, in reply to an inquiry as to his posi-

ployers have perfect right to buy labo,
where they can get it the cheapest, and thai
the Chinese treaty should not be abrogated
till our manufacturing interests are sub.

REPUBLICAN exchanges do not seem to
agree as to Garfeld's position on the tariff
question. Some of them assert that he is
in favor of free trade, and others that he
fayors protection. Both are right and both

ton, and semi occasionally he favors free
trade, but it is beyond the ken of omnipo-
tence itself to determine what side of the
question he will be On six months hence.

The terpslchorean part of the entertainment
is we'll enough, but the air is heavy with other
symptoms. As spectators of the scene sit Ia
d les handsomely dressed, who alternate their
remarks about the grace or awkwardness of
the dancers with ecstatic EXPLANATIONS of de-
light over the pianist who punches the piano
terribly, and knocks thunder out of it.
He keeps such beautiful time" they say,
that he must be like the tarantula

Time, why that's his business. If he didn't
keep it, he'd be an irregularity and impede

The writer observed a lady who was an en-

seemed to need but little impetus to be a
whir ling dervish in the cause, as she rocked
herself to the measure OF the enchanting, vet
monotonous strains.
She was study. She was finely rogued and
powdered; her eyelashes were blackened, and
the hair was arranged with touching, but rath-
er too youthful simplicity in braids low in the
neck, and close to the ears. 1t was broad dav-
light. and in its impartial rays, these fribbling
articles ola woman past forty, and the mother
of children-were quite too awfully legfble.
1t was composite entertainment, and high
priced from every point of view; from the
dress which was the starting poiIt, whether it
came easy, or was the result of anxiety or
stratagem. to the saltatory stipend, and tie
assemblage of ladiet-thus given unequaled
opportunities for observing and pronouncing
upon each other.
