Christian Training.

Perhaps the strongest obstacle to
the success of Christian training is
unbelief. Christian parents do not
generally expect their children to
grow up pious. They believe that a
religious education will very likely
be highly beneficial to them in vari-
Gus ways; that it will restrain them
from vice, and furnish their minds
with valuable knowledge, and facili-
tate their conversion at later per-
iod i; but we seldom find father or
mother who really looks upon Chris
tian education as divinely-appoint-
ed means of grace, and as Gods chOs-
en- agency for the salvation of their
offspring. They pray that sanctify-
ing, saving grace may be snowered
down upon their babes, even before
they can walk or speak but, with
strange inconsistency, pestpcne all
hope of receiving answers of prayer
to future period, distant by many
years. They follow a theory which
allows, and almost requires. career
in sin and impenitance, before a gra-
cious state is attained. When the
subject shall have been thus prepared
for bitter repentance, they trust he
will be arrested in his folly. and, un-
der the influence of some preva-
lent, powerful religious excitement,
brought 70 bow at the Cross. The re-
vival is the agency often looked to
for resultswhich God proposes to
accomplish by his blessing on Chris
tian education. The theory will have
years of transgression the devine
word would forestall all of this guilt
and danger, by training up the child
in the way he should go, not that he
may come into it at mature age,
but that he may walk in it all along,
and never depart from it. Upon this
theory. then, which does not expect
the result promised in the divine
word, parents do not seek it, nor
work ier il. The exertions which
they actually put forth do by no
means satisfy the idea of training.
That involves the notion of patient
protracted, incessant effort; of earn
est, trustful prayer. ofeffective, intel
ligihle, appropriating faith ; of holy.
emphatic example ; of gentle, win
ming, loving spirit of an obedient all
embracing, and intense piety, which
should transform our homes into
Bethels, and our hearths into holy,
consecrated altars. upon which in
sence and peace offerings shall blaze
evermore. They err grieyously who
conclude that such results as are pro-
posed by the theory here discussed
would supersede reyivals. They
would wrap the Church in heaven
ly flame and triple its energies.
They would beautify it with holiness.
Influences powerful as the pentec0s-
tai state, would stream out OH every
side; and sinners, of whom charity
itself has ceased to hope, would be
penetrated by the mortal power of a
sanctified Church. The "unlearned
and the unbelieyer," on coming into
the presence of such Christian con-
gregation. would be compelled to rec
ognize, in the "still small voice" of
its universal testimony, an authority
more petent than the miracle of
tongues Convinced of all and judg-
ed of ALL the secrets of their hearts
would be made manifest, "and so,
falling down on their faces, they
would worship God, and report that
God is in you Of truth, ,"-The Rev.
DR.. Stephen OIin.

Guiteau and His Brother

One Of the letters lately received by
NJ. Scoville, says The Warrington Post
is from Guiteau's only brother, who re-
sides In Boston. 1t seems that Guiteauis o
relations were strongly opposed to the
theory of insanity, and, when Mr.. SEQ
vile announced his attention to prove
the prisoner insane, the half-sister re-
siding in Freeport, Ill, and the brother
in Boston, refused to assist in the de-
fense in any way. Both thought it
would not only be disgrace, but a great
injury to the family, If Guiteau was
proven hereditarily insane. The letter
now received, however, and the one
written few days since by the balf-
sister, show that both relatives have
become convinced. or are willing to ac-
knowledge, that their worthy brother Is
really insane. One result of the COM
municaticn from Boston will probably
be the purchase of a new wardrobe for
the prisoner, whose clothes have be-
come greatly dilapidated from contact
with the rough stone Of the prison
walls and other causes. Mason's bullet
created great havoc with the assassin's
coat, tearing out nearly all the breast
oft. The rents were patched up as
well as possible under the circumstan-
ces by one Of the jail guards, but the
garment was considered hardly pre-
sentable. At the time of his arraign-
ment Guiteau's personal appearance
was freely commented upon by the
newspapers in anything but conpli-
mentary manner. and the remarks
about his clothes he felt very keenly.
He asked his brother-in-law to buy

Female Slavery.

EtVul NhS buua!o ouFler.
Paul Boyton, in his trip down the
Missouri, has run across a curious mat
rimonial custom that the Government
should look into. One night he was en-
tertained by a rsneher named George
Mince. A comely squaw presided
over his household, and three pretty
halfbreed children called him father.
To his guest he confessed the fact that
he had bought this woman at Sliding
Rock agency for horse. He pur-
chased her as a substitute for his M
dian wife, whom he had bought several
years ago, married, overworked and
maltreated until she ran away. The
squaw is kept hard ut work, and the
husband or master does not allow her
to sit at the same table with him, and
beats her whenever he pleases. What
Mince has done is common thing
among his neighbors. This system
of female slavery" says Boyton, lis
much more extensive than the public
generally suppose. Scores Of white
men are accumulating wealth from
the physical labor of fthese poor women
and their children" Captain Boyton
says that few days ago white wood
cutter bought a 12-year-old Indian girl
for $3.50 at the Berthold Agency, and ii
was regarded as an ordinary business
transaction. AS all halfbree Indian
children are entitled to rations and

messenger in the war department.
Lyneh's career has been somewhat re-
markable. In 1860 he enlisted with
Colonel keogh, the late secretary Of the
nation,l republican committee, and
the two became fast friends. After
the war Lynch drifted northward and
took part in the Fenian raids. He was
captured in Canada and sentenced TO
death. The queen commuted his SEN
tence and he went to prison He
spent five years in prison making
shoes, and was released. An outcast,
he wandered, penniless and starving,
over several states of the Union. and
finally drifted into Washington. Meet
ing Colonel Keogh in tnat city the other

and the colonel told the story of his
friends adventures, with the result as

THE REBEL BOND CRAZE.
More About the Lucky Lunacy for the
People of the south
Charleston 8. C.) Courier.

Charleston Is. C) Courier.
The operations in confederate securi-
ties have been quite active among the
Charleston brokers during the past
week, and immense amounts have
been bought in this market at prices
ranging from $3.50 to S5 thousand.
The demand continues good, and the
brokers generally have entered the
market, and are buying all the coupon
bonds that are offered. They are act
ing under instructions from New York
houses, who in turn, are buying on ac-
count of the English holders of confed-
crate securities. Major f. Willis has
made the largest purchases III this mar
ket. He began operations on last Fri
day, and has bought more than s., ,000,-
600 IN confederate bonds, 6's and SIS,
with the coupons of 1865 attached.
Yesterday he purchased about ST, 300
COO of these bonds, which find a ready
sale at from 81 to So thousand, ac-
cordlng to quantity. The confederate
Is rate at So to So so thousand, and
find slow sale. Mr.. Z. NJ. Morelapd
has bought in small quantities about
81 800, 600 of 6's and S's. 4. NJ. Mar
shall u Brother have bought few hun
dred thousand; w. S. Hastie & Son
have made small purchases, and SO
with other brokers in the city.
The sale of the bonds has put $4,000
or S5O,000 of good money in circula-
ton III this city. Some of the buyers
fear that any publication of the ready
sale Of the bonds will have tendency
to "depress the market" while others
think that the large holders of the Sc
curltles will stand back for better
prices. The cotton bonds are the only
securities that are regarded by the
brokers as of any intrinsic value. Col.
K. }. Moses, prominent lawyer of
Columbus, Ca, is acting for the Ameri-
can holders of the confederate bonds
who intend to get the confederate de
poslts in the Bank of England bv liti-
cation or compromise Col. Moses is a
relative OF Mr.. Judah p Benjamin, one
OF the old confederate cabinet, who
has been retained in this suit.
1t was rumored in the streets, yester-
day, that an enterprising New England
firm, as soon as the demand for the
bonds sprang up, started factory for
the purpf Sc of manufacturing them
IN order to supply our English cousins
with all the article that they want. The
rumor could be traced to no authori-
tative source, but it is remembered
that during the late war, out of which
the confederate bonds sprang, our
brethren. at the north supplied US with
even d better article in the shape of
confederate currency than we were
able to manufacture at home, and so
there may be something in the rumor,
