AT NIGHT.

ny A NEW HAMPSHIRE GIRL or ELKvEs WARS.
The moon and the stars shone brightly
Der the darkened world below;
The flowers already had said goodnight
And were noddng to and fro.
The nightingale sang her evening song,
And peacefully went TO rest,
The busy bee had ceased 10 hum,
And had gone to her humble nest.
All were at rest and were asleep,
Except the One on high,
Who watches DER us all the time,
with ever wakeful eye.

with brandy-balls, and the poor thing got
drunk. His head acbed, and he felt Ill and
wretched, and the other monkeys Knocked
him. Since then he is afraid to touch any
round things for fear they may have brandy
in them, and if he sees the fellow that treated
him that way, he flies bowling to the top
of the cage and won't come down. He re-

The numerous creameries now spring
ing up all over southern Minnesota are
sufficient evidence that good butter Is
more preferable than poOr. What ar.
ticle OF food is better relished by man
kind in general than good butter? 1t
is a source of c0ngratulatiOn that this
branch of American industry is on the
advance. These creameries prove not
only profitable to their owners, but to
the farmer as we'll, for those farmers
within the radius Of several miles to q
well established creamery receive q
much better price for their milk from
the creamery than they possibly could
If made into butter and then sold. The
creamery near .Winnebag0 City pays
the farmers who furnish it with milk
the same as fifteen cents pound for
butter, without the making. The con-
sequence is that farmers in that imme.
diate vicinity are improving their stock
and introducing cows possessing supe-
rior milking properties.-Mankato Free
Press. -r
And If there is place On earth where
creameries ought to be as thick as black
berries. that place is about Worthing-
ton. We have "a miles of lake front
within q radius Of miles OF this place
and thousands upon thousands OF tons
of luxuriant and nutritious grass going
to waste: We have been out over the
county some within the past few days
and to get about at all we must wade
through oceans of the most beautiful
and deep grass which would yield two
to three tons of hay to the acre. There
is no question in the mind of any one
we ever heard of that this county is q
Paradise for stock-growing and butter
making. Cannot something be done to
inaugurate a few creameries il this vi
cinity and thus start IL. industry which
has millions in it?''

LITERARY NOTICES.

1881. BY NJ. f. BILLINGS. Independ-
ent PRINT, Waverly, Iowa.
simultaneously with the stir caused
by the Atwater case comes this little
book of 81 pages, mostly taken up with
a catalogue of ministers or preachers
who have been exposed and deposed
during the FIVE years from May, 1876, to
May, 1881. The name, residence and Of
fence of each is given and the list of
names covers over twenty pages. The
number who have been published in
these five years foots up 9l7, and covers
nearly all the crimes of which other
men are guilty. The bulk of them are
crimes against or with women. The
author says: ''Of these 456 have been
against women in sexual way, and 81
against women in other ways, or 544
against women especially" These 9l7
cases have been gathered from the
newspapers during the five years men-
toned. The denominations to which
the preachers belonged have been pre-
served in only 2O3 instances. OF these
POS, the Methodists have y, Baptists
42, Presbyterians %, Catholics 10, Con-
gregationalists Is, Episcopalians 10,
Campbellites 6, Lutherans IL, Advent.
lists S, United Bretheren 8, Hebrew 2.
unversalists l. The per cent in this
list Of offenders is: Methodist 30 per
cent, Baptist 20, Presbyterian 10, Cath
olic 9. Conyregationalist 6, and so on.
The author asks: 'Can it be possible
that the most orthodox are the most
criminal and vice versa? Are men
nearer pure as regards crime the furth-
er they get from orthodox belief? 1t
seems so.''
This list indicates one thing quite
plainly, viz: that in proportion as they
believe in and preach an eternal hell,
they are inclined to fall into crime and
in proportion as they deny it they do
the reverse. Thus there are - Metho-
odists and only one Universalist in the
list of EOS where the denomination is
given. This accords with fact pub
lished some time ago. a gentlemen
who made the round among number
of penitentiaries found that most OF
the inmates were orthodox Chris
tians III education who had been
brought up to believe in endless punish
ment. Facts are stubborn things and
the facts show beyond dispute that the
teaching Of the orthodox churches does
not save men, neither priest nor layman,
from criminal life, while proper edu.
cation and training does save them.
The per cent. of criminals among the
classes who deny vicarious atonement
and endless punishment is much less
than among the classes who teach and
believe these doctrines.
The pamphlet referred to above is
certainly suggestive. Either preachers
are worse than other men or they are
less slrewd in avoiding detection.
We should like to see list of editors,
lawyers, doctors, teachers, ETC.. who
have been exposed in crime during the
past five years, so that we might know
with more accuracy which one of the
professional classes leads off in crime.
At present the preachers seem to be
carrying everything before them" as
the 1rishman said Of his horse which
came in behind at the races.

THE TRUE BLBLE

Tile ADVANCE has said frequently,
since the Bible revision began. that we
shall never have the true or reliable BIZ
ble until it is col!ated and given to us
by commission of scholars, sitting
simply as scholars, without any church
or creedal prejudices to govern them.
The present Bible is partial, doctored,
interpolated and emasculated Bible, ar
ranged by the priests in the interest Of
Orthodox Theology. It is not the whole
Bible nor half Of it. And until all the
sacred books are gathered together and
published, just rs oriental nations have
done with their Bibles, the Christian
nations are defrauded and the Christian
Bible is fraud.
Thus. as to the Gospels, it is we'll
known that a large number have been
rejected by the priests and only four,
and these of doubtful authenticity,
handed down to us us ''inspired." AS
though a body Of komish or Protestant
priests, sitting in council, could deter
mine what was ''inspiration" and what
was not. The only fair way is to give
the people the whole mass of so.called
sacred books and let them Judge for
themselves.
AS bearing upon this matter we find
the following in a recent number of
man." a journal published by Asa X.
Butts, of New York:
We very quickly found that the au-
thenticily OF the canon rests on the film
siest foundations. That the only Cos
pei which presented any claims to be
the work OF the Apostles of Christ was
one not recognized in the cannon at all.
Yet we soon found some seventy differ
ent fragments, some of considerable
length, which were found clearly quot
ed in the writings of the early fathers.
These fragments of the Gospel, accord
ing to the Hebrews, may be found in
the works of many authors treating on
the subject, and especially IN volume
prepared III 1879. by Professor Nichol-
son, Librarian Of the London Institu-
tion.
THIS eminent orthodox scholar has col.
lated and translated about 81 as certaiu
fragments of this original gospel, and
rs mary more which were probably pOr-
tions OF the same, and has published the
same with copious notes. Prof. Mich
olson's book seems to have been writ
ten largely as reply to another emf
ne''t author who wrote ANONYMOUSLY
"Sulernatural Religion" This book
was published several years ago, max
ing every where II great sensation. It
contained many extracts from the Cos
pei according to the Hebrews. Schol-
ars have had these extracts before them
for a long time.

THE EPRESIDENT.


Ths past three or four days have been
days Of great anxiety as to the condi-
ton of the President. On Sunday he
was taken with vomiting and has been
in critical condition since. The
physicians announce that the wound is
doing we'll and the trouble is with his
stomach. If they can keep that from
being rebellious and in a condition to
receive food, they see no reason why
the President should not recover. If
the stomach continues rebellious death
is said to be certain.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that the man named Beefort, who
was accidentally shot in Worthington
few years ago was wounded similarly
to the President. The ball struck a rib
and was turned downward in about the
same direction. He liyed two months
and seemed to be doing well, when lie
was seized with vomiting and died a
few days after. From this, some of
our people predict the death of the
President. We think, however, that
Deefort's liver was injured from the
fact that he became yellow some time
before his death.

BY carefully scanning the columns OF
the Free Press to-day, it will be seen
that candidates for some of the respon-
sible offices in Bluo Earth county have
already stepped to the foot-lights. This
is bold, manly and proper. Time was,
in our remembrance even. when such a
step would have been regarded as the
height of immodesty, and for a candl-
date to vote for himself, fairly shock
ing.-Mankato Free Press.
This good old custom of candidates
coming before the people in advance of
all conventions and in disregard of ring
''slates'' has been introduced in this
county for the first time. Time was in
this county when every ticket was made
up aud every convention controlled by
''machine." The ''slate' was sure to
10 through at the convention and if the
delegates so far forgot their allegiance
to their masters as to nominate single
man who was not on the ''slate," then
the machine was turned against that
man and the slaves of the machine bolt
ed and fought against that nominee of
their own convention. This so disgust
ed one or two townships that for several
years they have refused to send dele
gates to the ''regular' Republican Ma
chine Convention. They said, IF we
do nominate "a man we want, your Dun
nell juggernaut machine will be turned
against him to crush him.
We hope now that candidates will be
announced in advance and that the peo-
pie will be given time to make a choice.
The curse of the Republican party is its
machine methods and distrust of the
people,

One of the most offensive circumstan-
ceS attending the surgical treatment of
President Garfield has been the imper-
tinent prattle Of DR.. Hammond of New
York. His jealous intermeddling at
long range has not only been unprOfes-
siOnal but ndecent.-Minneapoli Trl-
bune.
Well, we are glad to hear such a good
orthodox paper us the Tribune say so.
Hammond WAS discharged from his po-
siti"n Of Surgeon General in the Army
for some sort OF fraud, and ever since
he has been devoting his energies to the
maintaining of medical bigotry and pro-
tessional egotism and aristocracy. He
was one of those five or six ''experts, !"
the o::ly ones in tie whole country ac-
cording to Beard d's statement, who were
capable of passing judgment upon case
like that of Mollie Fancher, which they
pronounced nervous hysteria. =" or ''un-
CONSCIOUS cerebration'' or ''sigsizno-
cis,n' or ''hypnot!sm,' or some such
professional tomfOolism. Beard, how
ever, has since laid aside his egotism
and ''expertis,n' and begun the invest
igation ct the more occult phases of
Psychology 1T the right end. He ad-
mits now that Prof. Carpenters sister
and Mollie Fanchcr can read books laid
On top Of their heads and without the
use ut the physical eye. But Hammond
IL still encased in his professional stu
pitlity and egotism. Not long ago. AZ

THURSDAY, AUGUST 1s, 1881.

Its now given out that the offence
for which Spotted Tail was murdered
was the seduction Of an Indians wife.
This is decidedly thin but it shows that
the Indian it taking on the pretexts II
not the virtues Of the white man. 1t IS
remarkable how many white men. when
they want an excuse for quarrellng
with or shooting q fellow man. will
trump up an ''insult" or something to
their wives. It is most cowardly
dodge but it is common even In smaller
ouarrels. OF course man who thus
drags his wife into his quarrels and
hide behind her petticoats for protec-
gainst public sentiment, Is mis-
creant and coward. Crow Dog has
found out how the white man excuses
murder and lie is ready with his cow
ardly defence. His name ought to be
changed to Dirty Dog and then to
Hang Dog when he is hanged.

The August report from the Agricul-
tural Department. it is said, will show
. shortage of about II, ,OOO, 600 bushels of
wheat as compared with last year.
AS to Minnesota, Iowa and Nebras-
Ia, reports indicate that the wheat crop
will fall considerably below that Of last
year. For Southern Minnesota, North
ern Iowa and Nebraska and Southern
Dakota reports estimate the wheat at
six to fifteen bushels, the latter being
the outside. If the average reaches
eight to ten, it will do we'll.
DECREASE IN CROP.
