Well, sir; it was a most unexpected
meeting. l was living at this time AZ
Newcastle, Pa, pastor of little Meth
odist church. Some gentlemen had
come down from Pittsburg and organ
lied branch of the Young Mems
Christian Association. Not long after
there was convention in Indianapolis.
| was persuaded to 60, and went in
company with another gentleman. Mr..
Moody was also delegate to the con-
vention and it seems he was struck by
my singing, as my voice was promi-
nent one. He inquired of friend who
| was, and said he wanted to meet me.
The Sunday following there was a
prayer meeting and it was announced
that Mr., Moody would preach. I had
heard of Moody, and had always liked
to sead anything saw in the papers
about him, aud of course we all went
to hear him. IL happened that the
singing Jagged badly, and it came near
running the meeting. A friend of mine
came to me aud said, " Now, when this
man finishes his prayer you start up a
hymn and it viii give this thing start,
fos we cannot afford to have the meet
ing fail for want of singing" l did so.
/ sang the old hymn, "There is foun-
tain filled with blood" The people
took it up, and the meeting was sue
cessful right through. After that Mi.
Moody sent the Rev. Mr.. McGillen to
me and said he wanted to know me-
went to him and the gentleman intro
duced me. Mr.. Moody did not say
@How do you do 2" or 81 am glad to see
you," or anything. He took me by the
hand though, and immediately said: al

WOW TaE NEXT CENSUS - TO RE
TAKEN.

The bill providing for the taking of
the tenth census of the United States
provides that census Of the popula-
tion, wealth and industry of the United
States shall be taken on or before June
lst, 1880. 1t provides for the appoint
ment of a superintendent of census by
the President, and also the necessary
clerks and copyists in his Office. The
Secretary of the Interior is directed to
appoint on or before the 1st of April,
1880, one or more supervisors Of census
within each State and territory, such
persons to be residents of such State
Territory The total number of sup~,-
visors is not to exceed l5o.
The supervisors is to apportion their
districts and designate to the superin-
tendent suitable persons TO be employed
as enumerators, such persons to be Sc
lected solely with references to their 6t-
ness, and without reference 10 thelr
political or party affiliations. Eactt su-
pervisor is to receive $500 upon thu
completion of his duties. The .num~,-
atoTs are to receive two cents for eac'
living inhabitant report ted, t~" c.-,,-
for each death reported, ten c''r's s..
each farm, and fifteen cents +"
tAblishment of industry enuu-s l.
returned. The subdivision
each enumerator shall not exceed 4.0uU
inhabitants, according to the census of
1870, nor contain less than S05, where
the last preceding census shows the in
habitants thereof.

ouE DruOcRArrc CONGRESS.

The special election in New York
for Congressman resulted in the cleo
ton of Waldo IIutchins, democrat, to
fill the vacancy in the Westchester dis
trict. 1t is notable that Mr.. IutchiRs
is elected, while ON State issues the re-
publicans carries bis district. The roll
Of congress is now complete, and it
shows in the house clear democratic
majority Of three over the combined re-
publican and greenback vote. In view
of the annihilation Of the greenback
party at the late elections, the green
back congressman will probably choose
sides positively at the next session with
the democrats or republicans. In case
they do so according TO political SYM
pathy, the democratic majority will be
increased TO about clever. The com.
plexion of the senate can be readily de
termined for some time to come,
Among the twenty-five senator's whose
terms expire with this congress is Mr.
Bruce, the colored senator of Missis-
sippi. He is sure to he succeeded by q
democrat, and eight other democrats are
almost certain to be returned from th6
South, while the seats of the other six
then, excepting that of senator McDon-
aid. of Indiana, will probably be fillet
by republicans. If Mcdonald SHOULD
be succeeded by Gemecrat, counting
Judge Davis as a democrat, nna there
should be no change in the SoutherI
delegations, then the next senate viii
stand thirty-nine democrats and thirty
seven republicans.

EdtL0f OeD10cftt:
As this is the proper time for Demo
Gratis to express their views with re-
gard to the nomination Of the most
available iuan for our standard bearer
for the coming eampaign, and as IL is q
proper question Of inquiry whether the
Democracy can elect their candidate for
the Presidency in 1880, offer few
suggestions
IL will be seen fy a casual glance
over the political Gell that ex Governor
TiIden would probably be able TO carry
one hundred and thirty-eigbt electoral
votes in the South, and in order TO se-
cure the election il wonld be necessary
10 ELECT forty seven eloctors in The
Northern, Western and Middle States.
The States Of New jersey, Connect
cut and Indiana would probably 60 for
Gov. Tilden, and their aggregate cleo
toral vote would amount to thirty.
filden would then lack seventeen cleo
toral votes, and unless he could carry
the State Of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio or Illinois, he would be defeated,
for the reason that there is not seven
teen electoral votes that are not reliable
for the Republicans except in the afore-
said States.
We have no assurance that any man
living in any other State except New
York could unite the party in New
York and carry the electoral vote Of
that state. The Republican nominee
would probably carry Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois over any Democrat
that could be nominated, which would
make the election very uncertain.
IL IL conceded 10y leading Republi
cans that ex-Gov. Seymour, Of New
York, would be able to carry the elec.
tora! vote Of that State in the coming
Presidential campaign. Seymour would
carry, il nominated, any and all other
States that could be carried by any
otLrr Democratic NOMINEES, which would
probably give him two hundred and
three votes in the Electoral College.
Ii tbs I;eI"I.lican larty AhOuld 6e
fortunate enough to nominate mar
that would mite their larty and place
them in gooi working condition. il
would make the election very doubtful
with any man upon the Democratic
ticket for tn. Presidency except HOra
ito Seymour. The nomination Of sx.
Gov. H;eYmour would probably secure 4
National Democratic victory. It would
do more-it would place an executive
at the head Of this nation whose ability
AS statesman no man questions, and
whose fidelity to the country, and te
the ,choie country, would be beyond
dispute. 1t would do more-it would
restore to the executive portion of this
Government the purity and wisdom
that characterized the executive branch
OF this nation under Washington, JEFF
ferson or Jackson.

DIR. Burton, in the Contemporary Re.
view, says: 'Alcohol appears to excite
the circulation through the brain re
fexly from the mouth, and to stimulate
the heart rehexly from the stomach,
even before il IS absorbed into the blood.
Soon after it has been swallo wed, how
ever, it Is absorbed from the stomach
and passes with the blood to the heart,
To the brains and to other parts OF the
nervous system, upon which it then be-
gins to act directly. Under its infu-
ence the heart beats more quickly, and
the blood circulates more freely, and
thus the functional powers of the vari-
Gus organs in the body are increased, so
that the brain may think more rapidly,
the muscles act more powerfully, and
the stomach digest more easily, but,
with this exception, the effect of alcohol
ON the system may be described as one
of progressive paralysis. The higher
centres suffer first, and the Judgment is
probably the first quality to be impaired.
One of the most esteemed novelists Of
the present day informs rs that, al
though be can take a great deal of wire
without its having any apparent effect
on him, yet a single glass Of sherry is
enough to take the fine edge off his in
ltellect. He is able to write easily and
/ Ifluently in the evening after taking
dinner and drinking wine, but what he
then writes will not bear his own eriti-
cism next morning, although, curioualy
lenough, il may seem to him excellent
