to be made candidate, for any elective

Yesterday it was to have been decided
by the site committee Of the Cairo Opera
House Company, where the new opera
house should be built; but the question
was postponed until next week. The COM
mittee has given this subject much atten-
ton; it has taken under consideration
number of places in the city that would be
convenient to the people and profitable to
the stockholders. 1t has found several
that would be very desirable, but
that could not be obtained.
1t has now singled out two places, one of
which will, without fail, be selected. These
two sites are the one now occupied by the
old atheneum and the other the lots opposite
Mr. Daniel Hartman's queensware store The
committee has been undecided tor some
time which of these two places to decide
upon, but it is confidently expected that a
| decision will be reached next week.
Those who assert the word hell does
not appear in the revised edition of the
bible do not know what they are talking
about. Matthew vi reads as follows
But say unto you, that every one who
is angry with his brother shall be in danger
OF the judgment, and whatsoever shall say
to his brother, raca, shall be in danger of
the council, and whatsoever shall say thou
fool, shall be in danger Of the hell of fire.
And if thy right eye causeth thee to
stumble, pluck it out and cast 1t from thee,
| for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not thy whole
body be cast into hell.
And If thy right hand causeth thee to
stumble cut it off and cast it from thee, for
it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not thy whole
body go into hell.
And here is more of it from Mark XII:
And if thy hand cause thee to stumble,
cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into
life manned, rather than having thy two
hands to 60 into hell, into the unquenchable
! fire.
And if thy foot cause thee to stumble,
cut it off: it Is good for thee to enter into
heaven halt, than having thy two feet be
cast into hell.
And if thine eye cause thee to stumble,
cast it out it is good for thee to enter into
the kingdom of God with one eye, rather
than having two eyes to be cast into hell.
So there is enough left for all practical
purposes.
Last Sunday was Whit Sunday, consid-
cred one of the most important days
in the ecclesiastical year by those churches
which see fit to observe the important events
in thehistory of early church. 1t comment
crates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon
the Apostles who were gathered OF Jerusa-
lem and always falls ON the seventh Sunday
or fftieth day after Easter 1t derives
its English name from the white garments
which in ancient times were worn at this
season by all newly baptized catchuments
to whom the sacrament was administered
on the vigal of Pentecost. The name,
Whitsuntide, comprehends the entire octave
or week which follows Pentecost Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday Of that week In
Germany it is called Pfngsten; and in many
places the three days are kept as festival
days. Its origin is Jewish, and by the
Jews it IS called Pentecost, because 1t
was observed on the iftieth day after the
feast of unleavened bread, the fifteenth
day of the month Nissan, and next day
after the feast of the Passover. Being
celebrated seven weeks after the Passover
it also obtained the name of the Feast of
Weeks. 1t was also considered in later
times as commemorating the giving of the
law on Mount Sinai, according to the con-
structlon put upon Exodus Xix. The mar
rative of the descent on the fiery tongues
upon the Apostles on the same day, as CIV
en- in Acts II, has caused its observance to
be continued among Christians. Nearly
nineteen hundred years ago the eleven
apostles to whom Christ had delivered the
command, $50 you and teach all men,"
were gathered together with one accord in
one place, anxiously awaiting the NANTES,
tating Of the spirit.
The Springfield Monitor says this of
the habit of allowing boys to catch dogs,
hogs ETC.; "The city has in vogue one GUS
tom which is well calculated to vitiate and
convert into thieves the boys mean enough
to practice it, and it should be stopped at
once. The idea of allowing boys to en-
gage in such business is an outrage, much
less encouraging them to embark in bust
ness so utterly dcinoralizing, is revolving
