First Congregational Church.

Yesterday morning the Rev. Ide, from Mil
waukee, occupied the pulpit Of the First Con-
gregational church on the East side. He is
an able divine, and gave an eloquent sermon.
The subject was the continuation of that of
the previous Sabbath, "One thing thOu lack
est" The speaker took the ground that it
was character which makes the real man, and
that it was indeed difficult task to accom-
plish to make a man from person devoid of
true character.

Olivet Baptist Church.

In the absence of the pastor, Rev. NJ. D.
Shutter, Mr.. G.. F. Willzin conducted the ser.
vices, and delivered a sermon founded upon
John l., v:10:
"He that believeth on the Son hath the wit.
ness within himself"
The speaker held that man did not need to
depend upon reasoning alone to become be-
lever IN Christianity. 1t was told to him by
God through that silent medium, the con-
science.
The evidence was in the soul, and no
amount of reasoning could account for it.
The skeptic cannot appreciate any argu-
ment based upon the conscience.
And the man does not live who,
tablish the fact of salvation.
The conscience and feelings furnish valuable
testimony to the Christian in favor of Christ.
The conscience lis Fever entering protests
against in6delity.
But at the same time conscience cannot be
relied upon as guide in the ways of truth, as
proven by the Conscientious differences of
opinions among eminent theolOgians. In the
hardened and most depraved natures there is
voice which leads the man to long for q bet
ter life.
There is that invisible something that draws
men upward and encourages them on their
good resolutions, and that something is God
making himself manifest to man according to
his promise.
Noah was told by this same something to
build the ark, and it was that samt
small voice that encouraged him on in his
work in the face of ridicule.
The convert cannot tell how it is. But one
thing he knows, that he has "found the pear
of greatest price,"
The speaker cautioned enthusiastic believers
against being deceived by Their feelings, as
there were dangers ahead for such as were
ready to jump at conclusions without the
proper thought upon the consequences.

NEW MEXICO.
Sanguinary Fight Between United
States Troops and Indians.
EIen, Indians and Ponies Killed.

DENVER, July 23.-The Santa Fe
New Mexican's Les Cruces special
says: A reliable man who arrived on
2lst reports having left the camp Of
Lieutenant Guilfayle at st. Nicholas
Spring on the morning of the Goth,
and says that Lieutenant Guilford on
Tuesday camped at Alamo Canon, in
the Sacramento Mountains. Two of
his men arrived from Fort Stanton
and reported that about half way be
tween Alamo and Stanton, on their
return, they were ambushed by In
dians, who fred upon them at long
distance range. The fire was returned
for half an hour, resulting in one Of
the Indians being killed and one of
the soldiers wounded in the thigh.
Upon receipt OF the news Lieutenant
Guiliayle started in pursuit, and at
La Guinas found two Americans dead
and riddled with bullets, their bodie,
being still warm Three miles further
west be sighted the Indians, and
a running fight ensued fol
half an hour to Ash Canon
The fight was carried on at the distance
of 800 yards, but the Indians being
better mounted escaped. Six Indian
ponies were found dead. 1t is not
known whether any of the Indians
were killed. Guilfayle intends to
continue the pursuit Immediately, and
feels confident Of catching the Indi-
ans 1t is thought the Indians will
either remain and fight in the Sacra-
mento mountains OF will cross the
JOrdano mountains. The indians
numbered thirty squsws and forty
bucks, supposed to be from Old Mexi-
co. The Indians on Oregon mountains
have been notified and are on the alert.
Guilfayle's force numbers twenty-five
colored troops and twenty. eight Arizo-
ma Indian scouts. The remains of an
unknown American was found near
Puerto Deventunas, Mexico, evidently
killed by Indians.

EXECUTIVE MANSION.
WASHINGTON, July %, l1:S0a.m.
DR.: Boynton, who has just came
from the Presidents chamber, attrib-
utes the sudden rise in the President s
pulse and temperature to some OBJ
struction in the way of free dis
charge Of pus from the wound. Symp.
toms of granulation were noticed
along the track of the ball yesterday,
and it is possible that the heal
ing process going on at some
point comparatively near the external
surface of the BE- d. has damned up a
QuantityIOf pus in the deeper part OF
the wound, and that the chill and in
creased fever are to be thus accounted
for. The discharge this morning, al
though perfectly normal and healthy
in its character, was unusually scanty,
which would seem to indicate that its
flow has been in some way impeded or
interrupted. The chill mentioned in
official bulletin, commenced about s
o'clock and lasted until 9, being quite
severe, the pulse running up at one
time to 100. At this hour the fever is
said to be gradually disappearing and
the patients condition is considered
better than when the bulletin was is
sued.
Att o'clock this morning the Pres :
dent showed the usual morning symp-
toms of recovery, but about s o'clock
he was attacked with something like a
chill. He shook all over and his
muscles all became rigid with
what surgeons call a rigor, This
chilly, shaking sensation lasted
until about 9 o'clock, when fever
set in and rose rapidly. His pulse
went up to 100 and temperature about
10l. In an hour or so the fever de-
clined some. The doctors are not yet
able to define the cause Of the change.
The flow of pus from the wound
stopped this morning, and the sur
geons say this may have caused the
change in the Presidents condition.
A longer drainage tube was substi-
tuted, and the doctors pressed on the
stomach and bowels, but very little
pus exuded. Whether this means thas
the wound is healing between where
the ball is and the mouth Of the
wound, or that an abscess is forming,
is not yet known. DR.. Bliss said just
now he could not tell the cause of the
