Exclrslon 10 Kyle.

o. last Thursday we, with many others
of this place, went to to our neighoring viii
lags Of Kyle to witness the dedication" Of
the new academy at thst place. A general
invitation hal been extended, and half fare
RATES announced on the railroad, 10 that
ir,m both east aid west there were goodly
del 'gatioss-in fact they comprised the
largest half Of the au Hence, which number
ed perhaps 800 persons.
We found but little change in, Kyle since
our last visit some months since, tavs the
addition of the new school building. This
we found to be really very creditable to the
place. It is 4Sx5S feet two stories high,
cowned by an observatory. 1t is sub
ssantal frame building. It has cost 10 far
three thousand dollars, and some five :iun-
dred more at least. will be required to finish
it inside and fit it ont with furniture. etc.
A considerable portion of this amount was
secured by the efforts of Indy canvassers on
tie ground, after the close of the public ex-
ersises. But we are getting ahead of our
Story.
The audience gathered in the "chapel" in
the second story aud after organization good
speeches were made by Elder Hatcher,
Judge Walters, Elder Williamson, Judge
Kone and. Rev. Mr.. Roach. Prof. Storts
then made statement of the affairs
of the school, the main parts which

nounced dinner. This was served in the
lower rooms of the building. 1t was in reg
ular barbecue style, was FIRST rate and
plenty and to spare.
Further proceedings" in the way of a
ball and supper were arranged for the night,
but we were unable to remain.
The erection of thisfne new school b1ll-
ing is the browning glory of Kyle. It will
also serve for place of worship of oil re-
ligious denominations, and thus ibsrality of
selling will be apt to be promoted. Thus
the best interests of the town will be con-
solidated and its growth and prosperity for
warded. Only let harmony be maintained
let the trustees and people firmly rule
out all the little chickering's SO often incident
to such enterprises-and there can be no
doubt of the signal success and benefcent
influences Of Kyle Academy.

Institution for the Blind.

The State Institution for the education OF
the blind, located in Baton Rouge, is doing good
and useful work in its special line. This III
stitution though often miscalled asylum" is
by statute and in fact strictly a school. 1t IS
not and the law declares it shall not be an
asylum or home for destitute blind persons
towns or parishes in which they live. The
institution is no more home for needy sight
less persons than is the State University a
home for needy sighted persons. 1t is a free
public school designed to train the young blnd
to intelligence, self-reliance and self-help. The
pupils are instructed in a full grammar-sehOoI
course. in music and in some handcraft. 1t 1s
we'll known that most of the uneducated blInd
are helpless and wholly dependent; but status
tics show that about seventy per cent OF the
educated blind are self-sustaining. The emu,
meratlon of 1880 reports eight hundred ana
forty six blind persons in Louisiana: OF tins
number about one hundred and fifteen are
under twenty years of age. This Is the class
which the school is meant to serve. rev
who are more than twenty years OF age may
be admitted for a short time with view 70
special training. To the blind the only nun
relief is restoration to sight; but where tiiis ~
impossible, thorough training is the next pes'
thing and indeed the only available mltlSatlou;
To be successful the education OF the pllnd
must be begun at the earliest moment prac~
of the progress and renders results less less satls

that many of the blind are detained irons

There lately died in England man
who has done more service to this coun-
try than thousands whose names are
household words. This was Prof. Post
gate. Working as boy in a grocer's
shop, he became disguised with the
adulteratiOn he saw practised, and re-
solved, when he got the chance, to try
and arouse public opinion on the sub
ject. This he was at length enabled to
do, through one of the members for
Birmingham, and the recommendation
of the select Parliamentary committee,
now law, against adulteration were
almost entirely based on Mr.. Postgate's
recommendations, which have done
especially the worth OF his hard-earned
mOney.-[N. Y. Sun.

The arrival of gold last week in New
100000 more on the way. The drain
from Europe, therefore, is greater than
ever; SO much so that the Bank of
England has decided to devise some
scheme for preventing gold from leav-
ing the bank for America. To do this
it will be obliged to take steps which
will react somewhat seriously upon in
dustry and trade in England. 1t may
be able to drive some American securi-
ties home, but it will only do so at some
damage to English interests. During
the past six months England has been
purchasing largely of American securi-
ties, and is now more heavily indebted
than ever before. This being the case,
it is difficult to see how she can avoid
paying us.-[N. O. Democrat.

Religious Quakery.
ICity Iten.]

ICity Item.]
There is good deal OF medical quack-
cry in the world, but when cOntrasted
with religious quackery it's claims are
dwarfed into absolute insigniicance.
1t requires some skill and natural ability
to make a successful medical quack, but
your successful religious quack has only
to conceal the brass in his countenance
by assuming a moody visage, and he
can play his part with the most pious
OF the elders. It is as easy for him to
put ON and off the livery Of heaven as it
was for Hiawatha to put on and off her
single garment. True, the fellow is
usually found out, and pointed at by
all sorts OF condemnatory fingers; but
he does world of mischief in his day,
and is as destructive to the peace and
comfort OF society as the veriest brazen
knave and plunderer that ever lived.
Almost every week brings forth some
fresh instance OF extreme rascality, per-
petrated upon society, and especially,
upon the lambs OF the fold, by miscre-
ants, who, under the assumed mantle Of
religion, succeed in achieving their dia-
bolical purposes. Not only their name,
but their creed is LEGION" They dis
grace all forms Of religious faith and
all UNCONVENTIONAL associations, from
that of severe Methodism all the way
up to the ancient Church OF Rome.
Within few weeks pretended priests
have been exposed in various portions
Of this continent, causing the tongues
of scotfers to wag, even as they did
when the Beecher, the Kalloch, and a
a thousand other clerical scandals were
Investigated.
Some Of the pious frauds are of low
degree, and are content WITH any little
dirty advantage which can be obtained,
and-as they hope-cOncealed. Others
have grander aims. They desire to have
the pink Of religious fashion bow down
and worship them; to be stars, in fact,
in the armament OF delusive faith.
Recently Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew said:
am profoundly impressed by the
missionary spirit which seems to guide
SO many Of the imported clergyman who
come to this country. Not content with
combining their labors to. their own
countrymen they are ambitious enough
to search out that more elaborate sys-
TEN of sinfulness which wealthy con-
gregation in fashionable Fifth avenue
church can supply"
This is spiteful little piece Of domes-
tic criticism against the big guns of
pulpit OratOry that come to US from
abroad. But if Mr.. Depew were to look
at home he could find in both pew and
pulpit as incorrigible specimens OF reli
gious quackery as ever sullied the
sacred profession in other lands. Even
respectable clergymen seem in the main
to have sharp eyes for fat stipends, and
when higher salaries are involved, find
it easy to convince themselves that they
are "called to more extended sphere
Of usefulness"
Sometimes religious societies have too
much respect for the wealth OF their
pretenders to weed them out. A paying
pillar Of the church, even though pre-
tender, is not to be treated in the same
rigid fashion as a poor devil who can
signed forthwith to Hades.
Let the churches look into this matter
and, if possible, get rid of their own in
frmities.

(From the Correspondence of the Kingston, NY

 The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Ron- dout, Now York, furnishes an apt illustra- tion of woman power of endurance. This lady had been treated for months in the usual way for Erysipelas of the hand, with out benefit Not until her hand had become Q mass of l'utrifed flesh, did she turn to Dr. Kenned ,r prieor of the "Favorite Remedy for help.
 He informed her that it was impossible to save the bandit must ne amputated She received this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to take ether, stipulating merely to hold her husbands hand during the operation, and underwent the painful process without moving muscle or utter ing groan. Dr. Kennedy then gave "Fa- vorite Remedy freely to cleanse the blood and prevent the return of the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and reioices in her great deliverance.
 Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming trusted household friend in ell cases of Female Weakness and dis eases ofthe blood, Kidney and Liver Com plaints, and Constipation of the Bowels. (6)
