The Pilgrim Spirit.

Rev, DR.. Bellows, in the Christian Beg
lister, expresses some very sound and
seasonable thoughts in regard to the need
of more of the Spirit of the Pilgrims of
the Mayfower at the present day:
"Would that it were possible to ex-
press, without suspicion Of cant, full
sense of the relation which religion had
to life and to public piety in the minds Of
our Plymouth founders With all their
superstitions, they had practical sense
of dependence in God, and vital sense
of his presence in public and personal
affairs, the loss of which is i'll made up by
any so-called larger or more liberal views.
The liberality that bows the Sovereign of
the Univers out of his abode in law and
life, out of the temple of public order and
private effort, is not one to be rejoiced
over. Who but must deplOre the neglect
of religious usages, the growth of irrever-
ence, of the secularity of life that is
confined to the senses and the present?
Sometimes one half fancies nowadays
that the only hearty use of the name OF
God is what is heard in the oaths Of the
profane!
'The simple element Of devotion to
right and duty in lowly men was the great
inheritance we have from the social COM
pact of the Mayfower. They were not
pulled up with the self conceit that makes
men their own Coda weaker deity, a
man-made, aman-grown obligation. They
recognize the awful imperative of moral
law, founded in divine and sovereign
holiness of will. Without this back
ground of life, how trivial and shallow
and worthless it all is The Mayflower
brought nothing into port so precious
and weighty as this common sentiment
of the bond of duty, with Gods seal upon
it, in the hearts of those pious and dutiful
men! 1t becomes us to see to it that,
having almost everything else, we are not
poor in the only thing that made them
great and strong"

The annual reports of the English and
Scotch cooperative stores are now being
published The profits divided among
the members of the societies range from
one shilling three pence, to two shillings
eight pence on the pound sterling of pur-
chases made during the year, and seem to
average about two shillings, or ten per
cant. Stating the amount in dollars, a
member of one of these cooperative
stores, about which Mr.. Holyoake gave
so much interesting information during
his late visit to this country, receives at
the end of the year ST. in the way of profit
for every $40 worth of goods he has
bought. This is clear gain to him, for he
gets his goods at the regular market
prices and is besides assured that what
he buys is of good quality and free from
adulteration. The Manchester Co-opera-
tive Wholesale Society,", from which the
cooperative stores buy their goods, is u
federative institution composed Of 584
societies comprising 305, 16l members.
1t has a capital of e141, 700, on which it
pays per cent. interest, and it's profits
are diyided among the branch socitieS in
proportion to their purchases, just as the
socities divide their profits among the in
dividual members. -

RETRIBUTION COMING. When
Gen. Hancock was commander of the
department of Louisiana and Texas,
the respect he paid to civil law and
tribunals did not suit the views of
the stalwarts at Washington. They
subjected him to many annoyances
in various little spiteful ways. At
that time Gen. Garfield was on the
military committee of tho house -
we think, the chairman. To get
Hancock away from the exercise Of
the authority; which he was execu
ting according to his onvictions Of
right and duty, Garfield proposed to
introduce a bill to reduce the nun
Der of ma or generals. The effect
of this would have been to reduce
General Hancock to a lower grade
According to Garfeld's idea the
number of major>generals would en-
brace only those who bad older cons
missions than Hancock. The servi
ces of that officer had been too bril-
liant for such an attempt to be made,
and Garfield desisted Now Han
cock will return the compliment by
beating this same stalwart for the
presidency.
General Grant will be made sore
over Hancock's election. He jump
ed Sheridan to a lieutenant generals
position over the heads of Meade and
Hancock. Soon Hancock will com
mand Sheridan.

WHAT MR. GARFIELD WANTED
TO DO.

During the pending of bill in the
house of representatives in 1876, one
section of which provided that no
rebels should have a vote for repre-
sentatives in congress or presidential
electors, until July 18th, 1870, Gen.
Garfield said:
snow, Mr.. Speaker, if the gentle
men who reported this bill will put
in section, that all who participated
in the rebellion shall forever be ex.
cIuded from the right of elective
franchise in all cases relating to ma
tionsl offices, then | will say the pro-
position will be just and one we could
stand upon as matter of principle.
Anything is just which excludes
from privilege and power all those
infamous men who participated in
the rebellion. The proposition, with
out any modification, without any
limitation would meet with my ap
proval, as one emlnentiy wise and
just, if it could be practically carried
out"
This generous gentleman is the
nominee of the republican party for
the presidency. The people may
know what to expect if he of the
credit mobilier and DeGolyier pave.
ment contract should by chance get
into the white house. He has not
changed bis opinion to any extent.

A DOG CALF.

An animal has been brought to
light in Round Hill, Loudon county,
Virginia, in which the scientific
world will doubtless take considera~
BILE interest. 1t is no less than the
offspring of a cow which has only
the feet and body of calf, the bal
auce of its members being those of a
dog. Its head, mouth, nose and
ears are precisely like those of a
welI-b bred bull dog, as are also its
hair, which has the peculiar smell of
a puppy, and its tail, which is curv,
ed and held like a dogs. It's legs
have the shape and the peculiar set
of bulldogs, and its eyes are pop>
ped out to a degree that would fill
the heart of connoisseur with ad-
miration. 1t ate fat meat and other
food that dog would relish, but
drinks milk also. Its mother is a
COW, owned by a Mr.. Lunceford,
which had given birth to we'll devel
oped calves previously. 1t was TAX
en- from the cow as soon as discover
ed and the owner in digust gave it
to young man in Baltimore named
Lodge, The animal is creating a
sensation there and hundreds of PEG
pie from all over the country go to
see it, It's present owner has been
offered 81 900 for it, if it lives to be
six months old. 1t is now about the
usual size of calf its age.

TRUE GREATNESS.

The more we see of the world, the
more we are satisfied that simplicity
is as inseparsbly the companion of
true genius as it is of true greatness
We never yet knew a truly great
man "a man who Overtopped his
fellow man, who did not possess q
certain playful, almost infantiIe sim
plicity. True greatness never struts
on stills, or plays the king upon: the
stage. Conscious of it's elevation,
and knowing in what that elevation
consists, it is happy to act its part
among men lin the common amuse
ments and business of mankind. 1t
is not afraid of being undervalued for
its humility. A man who is thus
fearless of letting himself down to
the level of his felIow>man, 10 the
ordinary amusemeuts and relsxa-
tons of life whatever elevations he
may have reached, must possess that
innate consciousness of genius which
is itself sufficient evidence of its own
existence. Those who are afraid of
being uudervalued or despised for
mixing with their fellow creatures
are of the ordinary, every day race
of men, whom chance has made
great, and who, like the inmates of
unfinished palaces, shut their win
dows, lest people may come nigh
enough to detect the abject poverty
within.

WRONG MAN.-Philadelphia has
Just experienced a rather unusual
sensation in the temperance of a
man, who it is supposed, had been
buried with due formally. Some
time ago Anthony Murphy disap'
peared from his home, and four
months later his body, as it was sup
posed, was recovered from the river,
identified by his wife and buried.
Four months later Anthony suddenly
presented himoelf 10 the flesh, alive
and hearty, before his spouse, who,
not uunaturalIy, tainted away at the
apparition. On regaining her senses
she was informed by her husband
that he bad beef out West. The
fact that another n an bad been bur-
led for himself proved on his mind
to such an extent that be finally be-
came insane, . ! Il was found ne
cessary to send !,ica to az asylum.
Who the man Vas that was identi>
fed as Marphy and buried has not
been determined, and probably new
err will be.

WHAT CAME OF having a ROOF
TsHRED,

| A Boston rAep. so says a paper
published il = city, had the fiat
roof of the l. OF h.s house tarred the
other day, ana when six or seven
cats got on to it, he following night,
they could yell aod arch their backs
and try to get pull on all four feet
at once, but they could not lift them
selves free and heir signing was
frightful, end the people in the neigh
borhood began to cluck things at
them, and the owner of the house
forgot about the 'ar, and went bare
foot, and in his robe de mutt upon
the roof to chase them off, and pretty
soon he found that he couldn't stir,
and began to whnop and swear, and
policeman got ladder and climbed
on the roof, and when he came up
over the edge on his hands and knees,
he had to remain in that posture,
and he used very emphatic language.
Meantime the boot jacks were falling
in a shower about and around them,
and the mans mother>in law, looks
ing out Of an upper window that
overlooked the l. roof, to ask them
if they were not ashamed to be out
on a roof playing cat at that time of
night, knocked her wig off and it
fell on the tar, and she rushed down
a flight of stairs and out on the roof
TO get it and couldn't pull the Wig
up, but got her hand stuck to it, so
she couldn't let go If it, aud of course
her position and her bald head made
a dead giveway, as it was quite light,
when some one finally came with
boards for them to be got on to when
they were cut loose from the tar, and
the old lady did not feel bit worse
than the policeman, who had to walk
through the street with the knees of
bis trousers cnt out and left stuck on
the roof and great hunk of tar
stuck to each hand, and got repri-
mand when he reached the station.
And the house owner himself, bliss
tered his feet trying to melt the tar
off of them by holding them up to
hot stove, and when the cats were
cut loose from the roof and put on
the ground, they tried to gnaw the
tar from their claws and got tn air
paws stuck IN their mouths and rolled
about and yawled and carried on 80
that folks thought they were mad
and killed them And that houses
holders mother iu law hasn't yet got
over her jawing about that tar roof.
