Moab and the Bible.

Mesha, king of Moab, is person but
once mentioned by name in the Bible 2
Kings, 8: A. aud all that was known of
him previous to 1868, was probably con =
tanned in that chapter. We read that
"Mesha. king of Moab was sheep mas
ter and rendered under the king OF Israel
a hundred Thousand lambs, and hun.
dred thousand rams with their wool.
And it came to pass when Ahab was dead
that the king Of Moab rebeled against
the king OF Israel" Rebellion meant
success Tor short time at least. Although
after time it was crushed,l according to
the Bible. In 1868 a stone was diecpyer-
ed In the ruins Of the old city of DHbon,
In the ancient country OF Moab, on which
was in inscription, which states that it
was made by this same Mesha, aud it tells
Of his success, tor ancient kings seldom

some extracts from this inscriptions; III,

A VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-The
Blackman Brothers of Snohomish
city, have just obtained patent for
a very valuable invention. This in
vention is an improvement on car
trucks for use on a wooden railway.
These improved car trucks or cars
are now in successful operation in
Snohomish county. During this
time i. has more than satisfied the
expectations OF the inventors. These
cars will entirele supersede the old
tedious and expensive skid road.
Now that lumbermen are forced to
go back into the woods some dis
tance for their logs, the primitive
method Of fifteen or twenty years
ago will not answer. This invention
of Blackmsn Bros meets the wants
of the times. A wooden track with
these improved cars can be used by
lumbermen in places and upon
grades where an iron track could
not be used, for the reason that an
iron track can only be used on com,
parstive light grades, whereas the
wooden track has been successfully
used with these tracks where the
grade was one foot to every nine.
Every lumberman on Puget Sound
will understand at glance the i'm.
portance Of this invention. 1t is
likely to produce a revolution in the
methods Of hauling logs from the
woods to the booms OF navigable
water. We shall not be surprised
to see, within year, every enter,
prisirg logger on Puget Sound max.
ing use of this most timely and val.
liable invention.-"Post Intclligen

Buffers Acceptance


BOSTON, Oct. 1.-Two letters from Gen.
Butler will be printed in the morning, con-
tanning his acceptance of the Democratic
and National Greenback- Labor nomina-
tons for governor.
In his letter to the Democratic commit
tee, the general expresses himself in favor
of civil service reform; declares against tie
taxation of the necessaries Of life, and
says the highest duties should be laid upon
the luxuries. The letter to the Greenback
committee says: 81 can congratulate
you that hereafter you may
well lay aside the word ''Greenback,' -
as designation of your party unless you
keep it in remembrance of the fact that
you took it upon you when conferred by
your enemies as a title of reproach. In
behalf of the ''greenback," Or legal tender
note. your labors are done, and the mis-
sion of your party is as completely full
filed as is the mission of the Republican
party, which was the abolition of slavery.
The greenback is now the money of the
United States, and is the equal of gold and
silvsr.'' The committee is then referred
to the expression of his views in the
Democratic letter. The rest of the COM
munication is given to statement of his
devotion to the interests of the laboring
class.

laundering Gordon at Duluth.
Special Telegram to the Globe.


DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 7.-Thundering
Gordon came up to Duluth
this morning, and tonight addressed the
Nelson club. This is an organization con-
sisting Of president and some other Off
GERS, and few followers. The hall was
filled, however, the majority of those who
were not Kindred men being Scandinavians.
The Kindred men present were there to
hear what the Minneapolis spouter for Nell
son had to say in behalf of the bolter.
Gordon spoke for three hours, but after an
hour persons began to leave the hall, and
kept on dribbling out until the
conclusion. The speech was mainly
taken up with abuse of Kindred. On
two Or three occasions he called the latter
a thief, and generally INDUCED in violent
vituperation. He spoke of the Cass and
Itasca county precincts, and tried to ex
plain who L. D. Day was. He said moth
ing OF the way he himself was sat down
upon by Clough when arguing against
the precincts before Governor Hubbard.
He had nothing to say for Nelson except
that he served as a high private during the
war. He confessed that he was after pine
in the Fifth district, and acknowl-
edged that he proposed to gobble some of
it. The most delicious morsel in the whole
speech was his explanation of why he inter
ested himself in the election in the Fifth
district. He came here, he said, to help
put down corruption and save the gran
old Republican party from the faint Of
contamination. This, from Gordon, was
too good not to cause sarcastic smile
. throughout the audience. His fame as the
most corrupt politician in the state is vel
known here,and the view Of his working fol
virtue in politics was to ridiculous not to
, be laughed at. OF course he predicted
success for Nelson.

.SICKLY SHIPHEED,
Rather Emphatically Sat Upon by
Blaine aud Hurlbut.
General Impression that the Cochet
Claim Has Received it's Quietus.

Washington, April "a. -Ex-Secretary
Blaine appeared before the foreign re-
lations committee to-day in connection
with the Shipherd matter. He said he
had read his testimony and endeavored
to understand it. Blaine said he never
saw or heard of Shepherds letters in
the state department until Shipherd
was introduced to him by Senator
Blair. Such trashy matters as Ship
herds letters would never be called to
the attention of the secretary, as they
were scarcely fit for the waste basket.
The witness said he knew nothing
whatever as to how the letter came to
be missing from the files. The first in
terview with Shipherd, so far from
lasting far into the night only lasted
fifteen minutes, and witness did not see
Shipherd again for nearly three months.
Shipherd came to him and stated that
he was the representative of a very i'm
81 had never before heard of it and
asked him how he spelled the name.
He told me Senator Blair was one of
his counsel and also added ex-senator
Conkling, Hon. Scott Lord, ex-senator
Cragin and others. 1 thought it a very
strong array Of counsel. He named
about a dozen financiers and bankers,
including the %Seligmans, Morton, Bliss
& Co., and others. L mention these
facts because L have been criticised for
not kicking S%hipherd out Of the de-
partment the first morning he called,
but when a man comes introduced by a
United States senator, with three ex-
senators and IN ex-secretary of the
treasury as counsel, and an array of
hackers such as he mentioned, it would
hardly be the custom of the
department to kick him out.
This explains why 1 did not do what
L virtually did later" Blaine related
points in his conversation with Ship
herd in which Shipherd read what
he claimed to be opinions of ex-Secre-
tary Evarts to the effect that the
Cochet could claim one-third of the
guano. Blaine said with much empha-
sis, 81 would be willing to take my
most solemn oath that President Gar
field died without having ven heard of
this vile schemer, never having heard
the name of Cochet mentioned"
Blaine's testimony, together with that
of VIM. Henry Hurlbut, pretty well
letters from Senators Blair, Boutwell,
and others whom Shipherd referred
to, also denying Shepherds statements,
especially those with reference to the
alleged offer of $3.50. 900 to the late
Minister Hurlbut.
