A Pretty Western Romance.

A brother and sister have met after sep
aration of twenty years, and the meeting
has been brought about in Davenport BY
the little son OF the sister in a most peculiar
way. One week ago yesterday the raft
steamer Clyde went into Davenport on her
way North and Captain Douglass tied up
his boat fer awhile in order TO permit some
OF the crew to go as hore and max purchases.
Among others who went ashore was Aaron
Carter, a raf,sman. The weather was very
cold, with keen, northwest wind. While
going alt ng the street Carter met a poorly
clad little boy, who was running along, cry
ing bitterly. Carter asked him what was
the matter, and the little lad sobbed out:
"I'ln cold" 'Come with me-" said Garter,
and, taking the boy to a clothing store, be
bough. him a suit of clothes and pair of
mittens. He then asked the boy his name
Aaron Dunlap" was the reply. Carter was
thunderstruck. Aaron Dunlap he cried.
where are your father and motber2"
"Fathes is dead" the boy replied. well,
take me to Your mother, then, as quickly as
you CAL, said Carter. The boy took him
to his humble home, and when Carter en-
tered the house the boys mother rushed
into his aims with shrek that made all
the other occupants of the tenement house
rush into the hall to see what was the mat
ter Carter had found sister whom he had
net seen since the year 1862, when he went
to war with q Maine regiment.

The Individual no Is Creating a Sensation
at Louisville-The Faith Cure.


LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. Brew George o.
Barnes, the Mountain Evangelist of Ken
lucky, a modern Lorenzo Dow, has been
creating sensation in this city during the
week by his service at the Chestnut Street
Baptist Church, He is firm believer in
what is termed the faith cure, and
at the conclusions of his service he,
calling up the afflicted, anoints them,
prays for their recovery, and assures them
all will be well if they have faith Mr.
Barnes claims that God never damns, but it
is the devil who does, and says he makes
sickness and disease. God heals every day.
We see in the newspaper the lie that it hath
pleased God to remove our brother God
didn't remove him. 1t pleased the
devil TO remove. The Lord gave
and the Lord hath taken away is
lie started by old Job when he was in deep
afli lotion. There is not bit of truth in il
The Lord giveth, bur the devil taketh away.
God has constituted US" he continued, that
though the devil may lay grief upon us, it
soon wears out. Time heals US. The weep
ing widow will console herself in year and
a half by marrying another man. Watch
and pray. This Divine in junction used to
trouble me great deal. L couldn't under
stand it, would pray to the Lord and
watch the devil, then pray the Lord and
W itch the world and flesh, and then the devil
would slip up behind and catch me, but
thank God | am over that difficulty now.
| pray the Lord, and watch, too,and He pro-
tect> me. He will not let me perish so long
as | look to Him." Mr.. Barnes caused the peo
pie to look around at each other in amaze
ment when he beheaded the devil Take
away the first letter, he said and you have
evil, remove the second and you have vii.
the third and you have il, the fourth, and
you have a word that sounds like hell itself
80 you seem friends, the devil is mean all
the way through, and don't intend to have
anything more TO do with him."
At the conclusion of each hours service
he invites backsiders and sinners to come
| forward and have their sin-sick souls
cured, after which he extends an
invitation to the afflicted in body to come
| and be healed. If none come forward ne
| does not insist. but saws they will do so be-
fore he is done here. He does not seem in
the least discouraged at the apparent slow
progress for good, but feels that he has done
his best and leaves the result with God.

Church Prejudice.
New York Herald.]

1t is said that the governing author
tiles of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in Maryland have declined to ordain a
young colored graduate of a Northern
theological seminary. This colored
student was anxious to enter into the
ministry in State where there is a
large Negro population. No reason is
specified for the refusal, but the infer
ence is that the white Episcopal clergy
men did not care to have as an associate
a member Of the colored race. Its not
our purpose to dissect the motives which
animate any religious denomination i'll
managing its affairs, but at time when
there is more than usual anxiety among
religious people as to the decadence of
faith, the GOODNESS in ecclesiastical
affairs, the want of energy and zeal in
the cause of religion, it is not encoura-
ging to see a distinguished body of
Christians decline the services of train
ed divine because of the color of his
skin. Lord Macaulay in one Of his es-
says draws striking contrast between
the methods employed by the Church
of Rome and those of the Church of
England in spreading the faith. Rome
accepted the services of St. Ignatius
and allowed him to do his work in his
own way. His Order even now is a
vast and growing power in the Roman
Church. The Episcopal Church had
Loyola in the person of Wesley, but

The Bourbons to be Left in Quiet Posses
sion-steady Growth of the Independent
Movement.
Indianapolis Journal.


indianapolis Journal.)
WAsHINGToN. Dec. Sex Senator Bruce
who has been constantly in receipt Of infn-
nation from his native State of Mississippi
sat ID to-day that there would be no at
tsmpts on the part of the Independents in
that State to form an extraordinary Govern
ment with the hope of recognition by tie
President and the United States Govern
ment The Greenb back element of the Lib
eral party had, previous to the election,
pledged themselves to take this step if they
were counted out, and felt in duty bound to
make the effort. The Republicans, however,
as party, refused TO countensnce any such
movement, and the Liberal Democrats them
selves were indispOsed to it. A number Of
Independent leaders came to this city some
days ago, and held consultation with ex-
Senator Bruce on the subject oftheir proba-
BILE recognition by the President, and the
steps they proposed to take. The Register
opposed the movement and told them they
ought not to expect the President to consider
any such hypothetical proposition as they
proposed to lay before them: it would be an
embarrassment to him in that there would
be no evidence on which to base such recog-
milton, and he would have no direct reason
for such rec ignition, the Bourbon Govern
ment being prima facie in the right. The
Independent leaders, therefore, relinquished
the plan and returned home without ap.
preaching the President upon the subject.
Another reason for the failure Of the
scheme was the fact that large number OF
young men in the State who have
heretofore worked with the Bour
hons are greltly Disguised with
their methods and with the continued me.
nopoly on the part of old men, ex Confed
crates, and others, of all the offices, shutting
out all hope of advancement for them, and
are ready to join any new movement that
presents itself. 1t is said that if the Virgins
election had been held four weeks previous
to that in Mississippi, the success of the Re
adjusters would have sent at least 2O,0Ut
young voters over to Ben King, the indie.
pendent candidate. Any attempt to set ur
IA extraordinary government, therefore
would result in driving these young mel
back into the Bourbon party, and it is con
sidered best to suffer a year or two, witt

she drove him out, and the consequence
was the creation of a new Church,
knowing not the hierarchy of England
Nothing could be wiser, even in mere
ly sectarian view, than for Protestant
Episcopalians in the South to encourage
the education and ordination of colored
men whose hearts are inspired to enter
upon the ministry They could do in
valuable work among the large colored
population throughout the Southern
States in the way of propagandism
more efficiently, probably, than it could
be done by whites. Any religious sect
which refuses to recognize the value of
such agencies will surely behold other
sects exclude it from the field.

The evidence in the Guiteau case is
all in, and the argument begins today.
1t is generally conceded by those who
have carefully studied the case during
its progress, that the defense have ut
terly failed to sustain the plea of insan-
ity, and but little doubt is entertained
as to the final result. In the mind of
any sane man there cannot possibly ex-
list doubt as to the sanity and respon-
sibility of the egotistical villain, when
he fired the shot that placed the civil
lied world in mourning and robbed its
grandest nation of head. Neither
does there exist in the mind of any hon
est man doubt that such villain
should die-die dangling at the end of
the hangman's rope; and the sooner the
better.

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg did very
commendable act at Milan, Tenn, last
Wednesday. Miss Kellogg and her con-
cert troupe enroute for Memphis stopped
at Milan for dinner. The entire troupe,
accompanied by Miss Kelloggs colored
maid entered the refreshment room and
according to their usual custom, all took
seats at the same table. At this junct-
ure the proprietor of the hotel stepped
forward and informed the colored maid
that separate tables were reserved for
the accommodation of colored people
Miss Kellogg became indignant at the
proprietor's interference, and suggested
that if her colored maid could not be
permitted to eat at the table with her,
the whole troup wonld leave the hotel.
This had the tendency to cool down the
proprietor at once, and the colored maid
was served without further delay

a Variety Show Goes to Pieces.

Last Saturday night witnessed the last per-
formsnce by "Washburne's Gigantic Enter
prise and Sensation, for this season. The
company "struck gravel'' and was disbanded
A reporter for the PRESS called at the United
States Hotel last night and heard what Mr..
Washburn and the company had to say.
Mr.. Washburn said the difficulty long, in bis
mind, in the fact that he failed to book bis
routes early enough 10 the season. He ha'
been half parayzed for a number of years and
admits he is not fit to be on the road how.
Business has lately been bad, although even
with his audience Saturday night, he took in
$19e.50. He however felt the only thing for
him to do was to disbana for if he should keep
on he should have to jump about from one
place TO another in the state in such way the
travelling expenses would consume the profits.
He is only booked thus far for Bath and Rock
land in Maine.
The company agreed with Mr.. Washburn-
at least several with whom the reporter talked.
They said before the company reached this
city several of the party left, noticeably Weav-
er and Nellie Parker, McVeigh and female
performer. No salaries had been seen for five
weeks. When the troupe first started out
business was good for few nights, and then it
became poor. They thought bad management
was the cause of the misfortune failure to
advertise and bill properly, and especially, a
long enough time ahead.
