The iptroduction OF the ungodlY pianc

The introduction of the ungodly piano
into the families of some of the well-to-
do Dunkards in Miami County, Indiana,
has caused great trouble in the church.
Not long ago the United Presbyterians
had terrible tussle over the question of
allowing organs in their churches, and
now the Dunkards are ali tore up over
piano-pounding in private dwellings.
The juxtaposition of young woman
and square grand. has long been held
by many to be an unmixed evil, but not
on the ground of immortality exactly.

The New York association of brewers
by formal resolution, has determined to
serve no more beer to customers on Sun.
day. Mr.. Katzenmayer, secretary Of
the association, says that the rule will
be strictly enforced. He assigns two
reasons for this determination on the
part of the brewers, the first of which
is that their drivers need rest on one
day out of the seven; and the second,
that some respect should be shown TO
church going people. 1t Is not right,
he says, 10 have beer wagons rattling
through the streets on Sunday when
people are engaged in prayer, and adds
that brewers are determined, so far as
they possess inliueRce, to have the day
respected. This action is highly com.
mendable.

ST LOUIS, July 9.-Mr. j Karsison,
OF the French consul OF 81. Louis, re-
turned carly this Week from three
months tour through Mexico, where he
has been in an official capacity under the
direction of his luther. His business
carried him TO all the principal cities,
and in the travel he saw much of the
country, with which he has become en-
raptured. One of its great advantages,
in his opinion, Is the equahle climate.
There is a place on The Pacific coast
which he visited, near Guadalabara,
where the temperature will not vary TWO
degrees Fahrenheit at given time of
the day during the year, and within 4
few weeks, he said, rain would begin &c
fall in the City of Mexico. II will be-.
gin with the regularity orclock-work, al

The people are, as class, very favora-

costumes are no longer seen in num-

Rigorous social distinctions still exist
among the people, the poorer classes

rights, lar below the negro slave of our
country before tine emancipation. The
railroad interests he regards as at pres
ent the most active of the country, and
railroad men ofall kinds are in great de-

young men of ordinary occupations
who are without means, and but few

In March last these parents lost their

their tiny arms about the neck with
their pure childish kisses, yet we have
the consolation of knowing that "of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven" There is
balm for the wounded heart il we reflect
that at last, when the sorrows and sun
