SAVED FROM SAVAGE sCALPING-KNIVE Es

From the Chicago Inter-ocean,
Some time ago Philadelphia Quaker,
belonging to an Indian delegation, was
crossing wide plain in hostile coun-
try. The driver of the ambulance called
his his attention to four Indians on
horseback, who soon surrounded the
vehicle. a young brave in war paint
made uumistakable demonstrations of
hostility. The interpreter told him
they were peace men and medicine men.
He replied that they must prove them
selves medicine men; of peace men
they had had too many already to steal
their land and have soldiers kill them.
"Ba quick" said ne; "show us some
wonderful medicine work, or we will
kill you," putting action to the word by
handling the rifles and tomahawks.

Mr.. Conkliug ought to be old
enough to know that q Supreme
Judgeship in the hand is worth d
whole swarm of dead Presiden tial
bees in the bush.
From the New York Tribune.
The national crisis has passed and
Mr.. Conkllng can go on with his
great law practice, aioed by the ad-
vertisement that the President
thinks he is good enough lawyer to
hav> a place on the bench of the
highest court in the land offered to
him. Compliments and advertise
ments being over, what next :?
From the Philadelphia Press.
The President has discharged the
debt of personal friendship and po-
litical obligation and will be acquit.
ted Of any further claim. He is
iree 90 pursue his own policy, while
Mr.. Conkling is equally free 10 take
mis- course. The President must
more and rnore be President.
From the New York Times.
1t may not be possible to entirely
retrieve the singular mistake of Mr..
Conkling's nomination, which must
always remain bad precedent, but
he can largely atone for it, and the
more promptly he does SO the more
surely he will strengthen that re-
spect which the great body Of his
countrymen have felt for him and
would like to continue to feel.
From the New York Herald
Con oerning the wisdom OF Mr..
Conklirg's declination there will be
two opinions. One of themis that
he would have done more wisely
had he accepted.

CHANGED MAN.

Mr.. Delavan is a man apparently fifty
years of age. He does not look as If he
had undergone anything more serious
than commonplace illness. For an hour
he stood up aud talked very earnestly
to the audience in the hall. At times,
in pictur.ng his sufferiugs and telling
of his recovery by Divine means, he
was eloquent. He sought to draw a great
moral lesson from his case. He said
that before and during his sickness he
had never been aught but a nominal
Christian until Divine aid came to him.
In the course of his sermon Mr.. Del
aYan said Am not a saved man !?
Five weeks ago if any one should have
told me that would ever be able to get
even down on my knees, / should have
thought them joking. am not here to-
day to preach a regular sermon. Many
of those present come here out of curl
os1ty. Oh, if they would only believe
that the Saviour can do for them what
he has done for me, then 1 should be
satisfied. Now do not know what it
is God has for me to do in the future l
know that he will do more for me yet. +"
As the speaker closed one man arose
aud said he would like to say few
words. He appeared so affected that he
could hardly control his voice. He then
told of his recovery from serious ill
ness by Divine aid after he and the doct-
ors had despaired. The scene throughout
the service was decidedly one unusual
N It's character, and the audience ap-
peared to feel so, in their manifestation
of sympathy. When all was over, old
