Mrs. ShopYaul has moved back into her

it as the old place, so splendidly has Mr..

But what bothers us is, that it also has n

how to designate it from tho 'Littls Groom

enlarge their store room by adding two large
stores to their already capacious establish,

Mechanics Club, Of Columbia, and the
Union Club, came off at Henderson last
Saturday, according to previous arrange
ment. We are told that our boys were whip.
ped pretty badly from the start, but not one
of them showed the "hack," fighting bravely
on till the game was called at the sixth
inning, making so much improvement in
playing that it was predicted by spectators
that ifnine innings had been played Union
might Eave won.
The Union "boys" are delighted with the
courteous treatment they received from the
Columbians aud tell us that more pleasant
time was never experienced, We hear
the Unioa Club is not satisfied with its
work in the last game and a Pecs 70 tfy Il

PROGRESS,

Toleration is the child OF progress. We
have learned after many centuries OF con-
Hict to bear with each others infmities.
To err IL human; that if we piously cul
off our neighbors head, lie has the same
right TO bestow upon us the same blessing.
And we have also learned that when +.
man out OF pure cdssedness, hits us, he Is
somewhat inclined TO do that act of kind
ness IN the name Of the Lord The Cath
Ollie Bible teaches. that our Lord and his
mother. Mary. came into this world on am
errand OF mercy. that prior 10 his a.cen-
sion into heaven he conferred the tile of
papa, or pope, upon Peter, thus placing
that apostle in the relationship OF father
10 all christendom. That although Peter
cursed and swore u bit, and came very
near splitting open The skull of servant
boy xilh his sword, yet. that Peter could
not err-moreover That our Lord gave Pc
ter the keys of heaven nnd hell with the
assurance that he could shut any one OF
his dear children ont Of heaven or lock
them up In hell whensoever lie plensed.
Also that Peter at his death should confer
his authority upon others, papas or pnpe-,
down to the end of time. So that Peter
becomes the great, great grandfather of all
popish papas and their children down to
the eud Of time. Moreover the Catholic
Bibles teach that the popes can grant indul-
gences, absoluiions and inhict penances
whcnsoever they please. That those who
do not accept the teachings 0f the Cniho
lie Bible nre herelics and worthy of death.
No matter how nonsen.ical and wrong
ihese tenchings may appear to he, there
can he no appeal from the decisions of he
pope. These are higher than con-
science, common sense, or all onr senses
combined; higher than courts If Justice
or M, civil tribunal, as high as the throne
Of God. nay higher, since God has bound
himself TO confirm the DEGREES OF the pnpe.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, has in
trouced his bill OF last session, will, some
alterations, which provides that, in case Of
the death or disability OF the President of
the United States, the Vice Presid, Mt shall
succeed, then the Secretary of State, then
the Secretary OF Treasury, and 80 on
through the Cabinet. But, as this would
put into the Presidential office one moi
elected by the people, 1t would lie object
ionable, although it would not shift the
power and officers to different party.
Therefore, IL is provided by the bill that
the member OF the Cabininet who takes
the Office shall within twenty days call a
session Of Congress, unless Congress- Is in
sessioa already or is 10 meet In regular
session within that time, when Congress-
may order a special election Mt it's di.cre-
tion. This bill appears to he equally just
TO all parties, and this sort of law on the
subject Of the Presidential succession
ought to be passed by Congress.
