a Sorry Set

q" The Funny Man" of the New York
Times has the following rare bit of
ironical sarcasm" For years our lead
ing Freethinkers unless, like Mr.. Beech
er, they happended to be in the clerical
business themselves have tried to warn
the public against the bands of assassins
and robbers calling themselves clergymen
or ministers, with which our unhappy
country is infested The public has
turned deaf ear to these warnings, and
the ministers have pursued their in
famous career without hinderance. Now,
however, that we have an authentic list
of crimes committed by-or, what is the
same thing, charged by newspapers
agalnst-ministers, the latter cannot long
continue their netarious practices. We
must have government commission to
proceed against them and suppress them
as completely as the British government
commission proceeded against and sup
pressed the Thugs. The public has a
right to be protected. Are respectable
citizens to be shot down in broad day
light by reckless ministers, or waylaid
and robbed at night by clerical footpads {?
Are our houses to be broken into by
gangs of masked clergymen, and our rail
way trains to be thrown off the track and
robbed by parties of Methodist ministers
on their way to take part in the wild
orgies of Conference The Freethinkers
will testify that life and property in this
country are worth nothing so long as
clergymen and ministers are permitted
to go at large, and we must look to the
government to protect us from such des-
Perate criminals as Bishop Potter DR..
Dix, DR.. Crosby and their like"

Presbyterian name, around which cluster
such holy memories and inspirations.
But, brethren, | have detained you
longer than | anticipated. In conclusion,
[ have only to say that Mr.. r. S. Veech
and myself now renew our offer of last
year. If the Synod will raise $4,000 we
will make it $4,000 and so on for any
less sum. This is not done without
sacrifice on our part; but we claim no
credit for that, and only hope that others
will give in proportion as we have.
Neither of us have or desire any position
In the church other than humble mem
bers. We realize the great necessity of
the work that has been begun, and we
only ask to lay this gift upon the Mas
ter's altar
The Presbyterian Church, aside from
personal affection, is consecrated in our
minds by the love and example of sainted
ancestors. To him by the memories of a
father and mother who long since were
called home, and who as they passed
through life's trials and difficulties and
down into the valley of the shadow of
death stayed their souls on its precious
doctrines; and to me by those blessed re-
collections of my gentle, tender, no BILE
mother, so full of faith and good works,
who loved its communion, defended its
tents and walked in its doctrines so
faithfully for more than fifty-six years,
whose voice mingled with your devotions,
when year ago you inaugurated this
work, since stilled on earth, but now
singing more glorious songs around the
throne of God in heaven "
[ have spoken these few earnest words
for Mr.. Veech and myself, and to your
wisdom we commit and commend this
cause, assured that your deliberations
will result in that which is best and shall
most surely work out the will of God.

Where Cattle Come From.

When we read of 100000 head of cat
tie being driven every year from Texas
to the Northern markets, and when we
are assured that in 1870 as many as
100000 were driven on foot to Colorado,
Wyoming and Kansas, besides thou
sands shipped by steamer to New Or
leans and elsewhere, we are surprised to
learn that this immense drain on the
herds of Texas does not perceptibly de-
crease the number Of cattle in the State.
When we visit the great ranches of
Western Texas we are no longer sur
prised, but rather wonder that the
United States hold people enough to
eat and use all the cattle we see. 1t
has been found, from careful examina-
ton of the Census Bureau reports, that
to every 100 persons in the United
States there is required eighty head of
cattle, and that this requirement has
not varied per cent. in thirty years
Taking this as a basis Of calculation, we
find that the Northern and Eastern
States have less than the requisite num-
Der, and it is to these States that the
East looks for her beef upply.-From

been finely decorated in honor of the
Knights OF Pythias was at his door YES
terday, when an old man lounged up
and began:
Such ignorance / never saw in all
my life! You see that man across there

say, and | asked him who Pythias was.
Would you believe it he couldn't an

lie hadn't crossed the street before
the merchant slid into the store and
hurried up stairs 10 keep ont of sight
for an hour and it was only after he
was certain that the old man had de-
parted that he slipped down aud con-
suited Webstcrs dictionary to see if he
could find out whether pythias was a

A Gentle Horse.

Eli Perkins writes: Ny wife, having
been run away with once, is always
afraid the horse is going to run away
with her again Yesterday when Har.
rington, who runs the Maplewood Hall
stables, brought up span, he had to
stand the usual questioning;
Now, are they very gentle?"
80, certainly--kind as kittens"
did they ever run awayP'
Never"
"Do you think they could run away"
Harrington looked at the horses sadly
and said: MADAME to be frank with
you, don't think they could
"Well, have they ever been frighten-
edp"
mo, never, Nothin' could brighten
'em,h said Harrington.
Has anything ever happened to them
that would have frightened them if they
had been skittish?' continued my wife,
earnestly.
"Well, yes, am; suthin' did hap
pen thuther day that would have skeer-
ed EN- eff they'd been skittish."
'What Harrington-whatp"
"Why, | was drivin' along down the
Woolsey hill; storm came up, an six
streaks of lightnin' struck them horses
right on the head, and"
Did they runP"
"No, ma am; they didn't move they
jest stood still and paved the ground for
more lightnin'. They liked it."
"An', the next day." continued Har-
rington, "a city teller was drivin' this
team, an he let a railroad train 60 right
through 'em.h
"Did it kill themp'!
"No, hut the city Teller was all used
