opinion in Germany has been much ex-

THE DIVINE BLESSING.

Yesterday there was quite I
spirited discussion in botl
House and Senate relative tt
the employment of Chaplains
during the session to invoke the
divine blessing upon the mem
bers. Franklin, of Nye county,
introduced resolution in the
House framed for the purpose OF
abolishing the office. It was
defended by Bell and vigorous
ly danced upon by the more re-
ligously inclined, Messrs. Gray
and Pike leading the cohorts of
Righteousness. and carrying the
standard of the cross into the
camp Of tho Moslems and I'M
believers. The measure was
really determined upon in the
Democratic caucus, which re-
minds one of the story of the
Irishman who thought his boat
would drift over the falls and
asked his companion to pray.
When the prayer was half
through his oar struck the
gravel of the river bed and he
called out, "Sthop prayin' Pat, I
can touch bottom" The DEM
bcrats doubtless imagine that
since the November elections in
the Eastern States they need no
longer call upon Providence for
help, being able to touch bottom.
In the Senate, Jerry Schooling,
a man of deep religious convic-
tons and a deveut man and
good, wiped out the stain put
upon his party by the caucus
and introduced a resolution to
the effect that resident minis
tiers should be regularly emf
ployed. Bill Hobart, a pious
Base Ranger, whose daily living
is straight-laced and strict, en-
dorsed the resolution in a style
Of elOquence worthy of the in
spirational Star King in the |
palny days Of his best praying.
It sounded Ikea voice from the
pulpit. Some might say that |
the Devil was in the pulpit, but
the APPEAL does not, only the
sacriligous and the scoifers could |
for a moment harbor so unjust |
an idea. Whether 1Iessrs. Ho-
