Christianity is the wisest, best and
safest OF a Il systems Of religion or philoso-
ply. We can't afford to cut loose from the
Rock Of Ages and drift upon strange and
uncertain sea. The Christian religion is
the most rational. 1t is the philosophy OF
happiness, life and destiny. It is the sci.
ence Of manhood and art OF right-living.
Other systems Of religion are partial, edu-
eating only one factor OF manhood, viz. the.
physical, making man sensual; the aflec..
tions, making man sentimental; the
intellect, making man only phil
osopher, the religious faculty on
ly, making man bisot or her
nit. Christianity educAtes the whole
man in the pattern Of Christ Jesus In
the testing day the character thus formed
will stand amid the floods and find home
in God. r
The Christian religion is the best. From
mere utilitarian grounds we can't afford to
dispense with it.. Who would give up viands
for poision. sunlight for eternal darkness.
i is the religion Of the greatest happiness.
Christianity is also our tower OF defense.
Jehovah's immutability its base. Omnipo-
tence its outer wall-the infinite resources
OF God its material. Heaven its dome.
Eternity its spire. Here we are safe. The
bulwark against evil, the refuge Of souls.

The Illinois silver Discovery Pales Into
lnsignthcance.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, October l5.-h
correspondent to day visited the scene OF
the alleged rich discovery OF silver ore, on
Panther Creek, Woodford county. twenty
miles northwest of Bloomington, which was
reported in the papers a few days ago.
While he found that popular excitement,
together with other circumstances OF the
case, bad been greatly exaggerated by ru-
NOR, yet there was good deal OF interest.
A large force Of men and teams are at
work turning the stream from its bed, and
a company, composed OF the owner OF the
land, Fred Gassner, DIR. Wilkerson and JUS
tice Woodbury., OF Lecor, will at once be.
gin operat tions, believing fully In the gen.
uine character of the discovery. Speci-
mems have not been assayed, as was re.
ported, and the chief wealth in them Is
in copper They are evidently OF inge.
nious origin, and were all taken out OF O
pocket in the bank Of the stream about
eight by ten feet, which is now under wa
ter. A small crucible OF fre.clay was
found several months ago near the spot,
and contained small portion Of fused sill.
yer and copper. -.
The incredulous have two theories TO ac-
count for the discoveries. One Is that an
old.time counterfeiters' nest has been
found, their materials having been thrown
into the stream. The other Is based on a
railroad accident Twenty years ago q
freight train Of what is now the Wabash
road was precipitated from Panther Creek
bridge, Just above the discovery. A num-
Der OF cars were laden with whisky. They
caught fire and were destroyed. 1t Is sup
posed by some that the specimens found in
the stream are the copper, iron and Babbit
metal Of these cars, fused into the water OF

Special Dispatch TO the Register.
WASHINGTON, October 15.-Day by day
the impression deepens that the next
House will be Democratic. This impression
was enter tanned by many before the recent
upheayal in Ohio, and since that event it
has been accepted as a matter OF course,
not only by Democrats, but by many Re
publicans as we'll. The straws floating IN
the political current are all drifting in that
direction, and when the November elec-
tions are over and the sky has cleared up,
it will be seen that the Republicans have
sustained a defeat only equalled by the
celebrated tidal wave Of few years ago.
Taking Ohio rs a Basis,
much figuring has been done in the effort
to ascertain just what the strength OF the
two parties will be, and while all agree that
the Republican Representatives will come
to this city in minority, the conclusions
reached as to the Democratic majority vary
widely, the estimates running all the way
from IS to CO. As a means of these mathe'
matical conclusions, send you the follow
ing estimate as being the most accurate
forecast possible at this stage OF the polltl-
cal game:

A STRANGE CASE.
A Woman with remarkable History.

New YORK, October l5.-Mrs. Sarah &.
w. Tilbey was arraIgned before Justice
Bergen, IN Brooklyn, yesterday, on a
charge of false pretenses, preferred by The
odore B. Clark, Of the AnsOnia Clock Com
pany. Thorpe alleged that he met Mrs.
Tilbey few days ago in the street. She
asked him the time and he pulled out two
watches. Seeing him ST. well provided with
time pieces, she asked him to lend her one.
He did so; but whom he subsequently
asked her for its return, she admitted that
she had pawned it for $40. Mrs. Tilbey de-
MED this and exhibited the watch in court,
claiming that she had purchased it OF
Thorpe. Justice Bergen held her, how
ever, in $500 bail. Mrs. Tilbey has re.
markable history. 1t is alleged that when
only thirteen she married VIM. c. Dem
ming q surveyor, in Virginia. Upon his
death, two years afterwaGd, she married
H. c. Morse, hotel keeper, whom she met
in New York. When lie died she be-
came the wife OF Jesse c. Roe, from
whom she secured a divorce in Illinois.
While keeping boarding house in Boston
she married Eugene z. Abbey, paymaster
in the United States army, from whom she
was also divorced. A. J. Hayes, OF this
city, claims that he was the next husband,
but Mrs. Tilbey denies all knowledge Of
him. Her last husband was james Tiibey.

Anthony house, on Broadway, in ISL
Mrs. Tilbey pr, sented in the surrogate's
court for probate his will bequeathing her
$500 OC0 and ignoring the rights Of three
grown children by former marriage. They
are now contesting the validity of this will,
and accuse Mrs. Tilber OF having poisoned
their father. Before the funeral Mrs. Til
bey had an autopsy performed by DIR. Park
er Brown. who, She says, decided that death
was due to blood poisoning. Mrs. Tilbey is
the woman who was chloroformed in lSTSin

alleged, OF quantity of diamonds She
claims 10 be only 80 years old, aud declares
that the present charge is part OF conspir-
