STILL GRINDING THAT ORGAN.

A correspondent of the n. 0
Times Democrat, writing from Colfax
and signing himself "Episcopalian.
attempts to cast oppr obrium upon
the CHRONICLE by intimating that we
have not only published falsehood
in our eight liue local referring to the
"Colfax organ fund.-" but that we have
been guilty of a breach of hospitality
in "squealng" on the poker game
Not only so, but this jealous bigot
would make it appear that we were
Influenced by sectarianism. and have
made direct assault upon the Epis-
copallans as a denomination. That
our readers may judge of our Ian
guage we reproduce the local upon
which SO much unnecessary comment
has been bestowed:
Colfax carries the palm when it comes
to raising money to buy church or
gan. A dollar is invested in poker
chips. and all the winnings go into the
organ fund. 1t is proposed TO donate
the organ to the Colfax Lyceum and
the Episcopal Sunday school. About
SIG now on hand. br.
The Lyceum, being purely OF hit
erary character, partaking very much
of the nature of club in its conduct,
there is no need to consider the
reference to this institution. The
Sunday School is composed OF some
two dozen children. Of whom two or
three may be accounted Episcopa-
lians, the balance Catholics. MethO-
dists, Baptists, Presbyterians. etc.
Ordinarily such a school woald be
called q "union school," but as an
Episcopal minister organized 1t, IN
stituting the use of catechisms OF that
denomination, and installing a secre.
tary or librarian of the same faith. il
may fairly be said to be all Episcopal
institution. Now, as to the game o
poker and its object. The game wa'
played to buy an organ. The organ
was to be used by the Lyeeum ano
| the Sunday school, and any and al
religious denominations that chancet
to hold services in the building con
tanning its melodious pipes. Th'
sunday school meets once week
while service is held by different de
nominations once a month, and it j
fair to infer that the Sunday scboo
would come In for the most liberia
use of the organ. Our sin appear
to have been in saying as much. w

President MeCranie says the sug-
eestion to postpone the meeting OF the
Press Association has been consider
ed, but, as it is thought advisable to
present the Legislature a bill with
references to prices for printing. the
meeting will not be postponed later
than May 10th, unless the wish is
universally expressed by the State
press. The presidents reason is good.
We hope the unjust and onerous
features of the new printing bill will
be clearly presented to the Assembly,

GOOD READING FOR THOUGHTFUL
PEOPLE.

SHOULD BE CAREFULLY READ THAT CORRECT
= CONCLUSIONS MAY BE ARRIVED Al
PAUL G. sCHUH,
DEAR SIR ;-Rccognizng the fact that
there is to certain extent, 3 mutual DEEPEN
dency existing between the professions OF
pharmacy and medicine, and feeling that a
better understanding of the function and
duties OF the two profession should be re
cognized and adhered to, we, of the medi-
cal profession Of Cairo, object to the fire.
quent habit Of druggists OF this city, OF
diagnosing diseases and prescribing medl'
cines, for the following reasons;
First The science of pharmacy does
not include knowledge Of the science OF
medicine.
Second. You are violating the medical
practice act, by so doing, and robbing the
physicians of their Legitimate business.
Third. You are practising deception
upon the sick; therefore we ask you to ad-
here to the law governing the practice OF
. medicine
Another grievance to which we respect
fully ask your attention, is the matter of
refiling prescriptions without authority OF
the physicians who have written them. The
above practice is injurious TO both patient
and physicians, the patient often suffering
from the effects Of improper medicine, and
the physician because he is practically
held responsible for the action Of the medl'
cine he did not prescribe.
Again we hold that the original owner
of the prescription loses his ownership IN
the same, as soon as il is once filled and
placed on file, and that he has no right to
demand that it be taken from the file and
be re6lled, except by the order of the pre-
scribing physicians. We therefore ask
YOU to discontinue the practice
After due deliberation, we the under
signed mem bers of the "yledical Assocla-
ton of Cairo have resolved not TO patron
ize directly or indirectly, any druggist
who shall after this date, be known to pre-
scribe for any one requiring the services OF
a physician, or who shall refill or duplicate
prescriptions without the written or verbal
authority of the physician. Respectfully,

Although the above resolutions speak for
themselves, and although any appropriated
person can readily read between the lines
the real motives prompting the Cairo Med
ical Association to issue such a proclama
ton, feel like making few remarks:

been deceiving the public during the las
10 years past and do not intend TO deceive

CUSTOMS AND PRINCIPLES OF THE
DUNRERs, or GERMAN BAPTIsTs.

The following description Of this Pc
culiar religious sect is taken from an
article in the Century for December,
corrected in accordance with the criti-
cisms Of the Primitive Christian, a paper
of that denomination, published at
Huntingdon, Pa:
"The Dunkers profess all the funda-
mental principles OF Christian faith
They baptize the neophytes-as their
founders at Schwatzenau did-by inn
mersing them three times in the name
Of the Father, the Son and the Spirit.
Their communion is preceded by the
rite of foot-washing. A curious discus
sion has of late engaged their attention
upon the question whether the single
or the double mode has the better claim
for observance. When the same brother
both washes and dries the feet, il is the
the single mode when each service is
performed by separate person they call
it foot washing by the double mode
II is not to be understood, however,
that the whole congregation is thus
served by one or two Of their number.
There are enough OF them going around
with tub and towel to finish the cere-
mony within a reasonable time. Foot
washing and communion are always ad-
minis,ered IN the evening and just be-
fore the communion love-feast is held
in commemoration OF the supper which
Jesus took with his disciples. There is
no binding rule as to the choice Of food,
though among the viands lamb has the
preference. Even such luxuries as cof-
fee and butter, unknown to Scriptural
Palestine, are not objected to. After
the love-ieast comes the "holy kiss.
The minister gives it to the brother that
sits next to him on the right; he APP
plies il, in turn, to his neighbor, and
thus il is passed along the line, and by
the last is carried to the next table,
The same order is observed with the
women, with the exception that the first
kiss is applied by the minister to the
first sisters hand.
The Dunkers live in peace with one
another and seek no redress for injury
done to them by recourse to law. Dis
agreements among themselves are settled
by the elders, whose decision is final.
Only in exceptional cases, and after
permission is granted by the officers Of
the congregation, do they institute law
suits agains, the people of the world
Like the Quakers and the Mennonites,
they refrain from taking or administer
ing oa,hs, from participating in warfare,
or giving countenance TO it in any man
ner whatever. They are averse to ac-
cepting public Office. Their poor they
support. Among their host Of two hun
dred thousand people, there is not one
who suffers for want"

bit OF legend on the subject:
$50 potent is 4 kiss that many Of the
mos, illus;rious lovers have beauty by
the magic OF the lips. There isn't a
school boy who doesn't recall the won

THE IRIsHMAN's TRICK.

Two Irishmen travelling came to a
very poorly supplied inn.
"What can you give US for supper ."
said they to the lean and shivering land
lord.
"I've naught in the house but one
pigeon, replied he; $50 you must make
the most Of it between ye."
"All right" replied the shrewder OF
the two; "bring us your bird, and we'll
divide him."
The dish was accordingly produced,
when Paddy, turning to his companion,
said, "Now, Mike, I've been thinking
this ghost of bird won't bear dividing ;
what dye say to tossing up for Il in this
way: wen go to bed, and tomorrow
morning whoever has had the finest
drame shall have the pigeon for his
breakfast.
The proposal was accepted, and next
morning, when the fellow-travellers met,
Paddy took the word, and inquired OF
his companion how he had slept and
what he had dreamed.
"Bedad !" replied Mike, "and didn't
| just drame, and wasn't il dramc
that'll bate hollow every other drame
that iver was drained. There was in
the very midst of the sivinth heaven,
with all the powers of glory round me,
and clouds of angels and archangels
and 4 bewilderment of saints and patri-
archs, all making much of me and hoist
ing me up, and up, till couldn't go
any higher, and then ! woke" "
"Och. we'll" said the other, ''it's a
strange thing, but had exactly the self
same dramc mcself, and ! know what
you says ,hrue. tor saw We flying up
and up, and | says to meSelf, Sure,
now, Mikes got up as high as that, he'll
never be sich fool as TO come down
any more, so got up and ] ate the
pigeon.

for the lambs how in the name Of
goodness arc we goingto raise the other
hundred and sixty dollars ?"
"There is the money for the wool,
and fifty dollars for the butter money !;
and ! reckon, Charley, you can earn
twenty or thirty dollars in the three
months"
"But Ellen, you want new dress or
two p
"No, thank you, am very well Off
now. You never asked me what did
with the money that you gave me when
your checks came for the butter, and as
did not need il for household expenses,
| thought il best to save it to help pay
of the mortgage, for am in hurry to
get that off our home, so that we can
feel independent.
"You are dear little prudent woman,
and am as happy as can be to see my
way clear I"
GAS happy as il you were riding in
Jones new sleigh with lien on it ?"
''lf you had said one word in favor OF
it, ! should have bought it, Ellen;
had not thought"
"Then there would have been another
debt to pay We can be JUST as happy
to ride in the box sleigh till we are real
ly able to have better one, and We
shall feel better by 4 fifty dollar bill
next spring"
The next day Jones saw Wallace and
urged him to buy one of his nice new
sleighs.
NO." he replied, 81 am not intend
ing to buy one this season."
"lf had done as we'll as you have
this season." said the other. IL would
have a handsome turnout to give my
wife 4 ride in once in a while"
MY wife would not enjoy riding in
a sleigh that was not raid for, and shall
not buy one till can pay for it, am
going to pay for my home and farm be-
fore dash out in much style and my
wife feels as do abou, il.
That night Jones was in the store,
and made the remark that Charles Wal
lace would be a rich man by the time he
was forty, for he hal a sensible woman
for 4 wife and he had common sense
