seemly schism in the church. should resign,
and let them choose another pastor. The
spectacle Of a church, rent and Frustrated by
factions and schisms, is a melancholy one in
deed when the enemies Of religion
have, thrown out their shirmish line
OF sherp shooters, put their corps
of sappers and miners to work and are
drawn up in line Of battle, full in sight Of the
Christians, while their light armed cavalry is
picking up all s,rsgglers from the Christian
camp. II is vain now to go back to the egg
Of the trouble and attempt to adjust the blame
Of the respective parties; the only sensible and
Christian course to pursue is to heal the
chism, compose the differences, remove the
scandal OF church in state OF contention
and dissension, and restore unity and peace
and harmony TO il. II is the duty OF Mr..
Dodson, as Christian, to resign, for the vote
last night showed that majority OF the mem
hers were opposed to Mr.. Dodson, and It is
better for one to yield than TO require 50
members to do so. Ifhe does not resign the
split in the church will widen and deepen, and
upon him will rest the responsibility for such
a state Of things. A new pastor is needed to
unity and harmonic the church. Mr.. Hendon
presided with marked impartiality, dignity,
courtesy and Christian spirit, although little
rusty in parliamentary rules. The clerk Of
the church has bad habit OF leaving books
and documents at home and Of forgetting TO
issue papers and notices, but he is new in the
business and is likely to improve. A Baptist
congregation exemplihes a government Of
the people by the people for the people" and

Henry Fuller, one-legged man, appeared
before the Recorder this morning on a charge
ofvagrancy. Captain Karber stated the prs-
oner was brought in early this morning by
Officer Bishop, when the prisoner said he had
been robbed at the depot, but his mind
seemed to be wandering, as he mixed up the
robbery first with one thing, then with another,
and he captain X arber) though; the prisoner
was mad. Fuller, on being cross-examned
by the City Attorney, said his home was in
Galveston; that he had been robbed, and made
so many incoherent statements that the Re-
corder said he would transfer him TO Judge
Mason. Fuller, before returning to his seat,
told His Honor that she knew what was CO.
ing to happen-he was going to be shot, but
he did not fear being shot or hanged" Judge
Mason will probably send him to the lunatic
asylum.

falo Commercial, are the peace
full triumphs of democracy!
A water-wheel, by being
employed to generate cleo
tricity, may light our rooms,
cook our dinner, and ripen
our peaches. We can have
light from it by which we
can work as easily at night
as in the day-a light which
will neither consume Our
fresh air, nor vitiate it with
foul gases, nor smoke our
ceilings and destroy our cur
tains; which can set fire to
nothing; the globe of which
can be hooked to an invaild's
bed-curtain without risk, or
attached to flexible wires and
taken into the most confineh
corner to give light to a work
man without danger of fire.
1t would fill volume to state
at length all the prsctical adj
vantages which this develop
ment of electricity has opened
up already, and more than a
volume to state all that it may
be expected yet to accomplish.
Let it also be understood that
while the foregoing illustara-
tons have been stated in re-
lation to water powe, the are
equally true for the other
powers, such steam engine,
gas engin, horse power, or
human labor. The fixed en-
CINE on a farm can do the
blowing hundred of yards off.
The gas engine that pumps
water by day can light the
house at night. The horses
that drag coal carts for many
miles to work a steam engine
in some outlying place can be
used at home instead to work
an electric machine, with no
loss of time and in many
cases with less vast of labor.
The covits ona treadmill can
be doing work by it at any
part of or even outside the
prison. In a word, the power
of work can be generated by
any ordinary means, and at
any place where the means
exist, and can be economically
conveyed to the spot where it
is to be usefully applied with
out loss of time and practi-
cally in full strength. The
tide on the shore can do work
far inland; the stream in the
mountain gorge can do work
on hilltop; the windmill on
the eminence can do work in
the valley; the horse in the
yard or the man in the out
house can do work inside the
dwelling. And with all it's
power and it's universally of
application, this new servant
which sceince has supplied lis
with is the most docile of
menials. A touch of a lady's
finger will bring into action a
power which thousand men
could not resist; another
touch will stop it's action, OF
reverse it, in a moment.-Am.

An Equine Commander.

The leadership of a drove of mustangs
is determined by the superior powers
and endurance of the candidate. So far
as we can Judge, the herd selects its
leader. and he is implicitly obeyed as
long as he lives. How he issues his or

others of his company. no man a tell.
But the captain of the band is a very
distinctly marked character. He is
every inch a leader. and he is always at
the head of the column. He is on guard.
too, when the young wild colts are be-
ing reared. 1t is he that gives warning
on the approach of 4 foe, and he has
to fight for his OWN supremacy, some
times. when turbulent spirits appear
among the herd.
A duel between rival mustangs is a

They bite. kick and rush at each other

imagine that horses could be so like
lions and tigers as are these mustangs
when enraoed. The sound Of their cries
and Shrieks NAV be heard far across the
prairie, and the combatants will often
be SCARED and lame for DAYS from
wounds received in these fights.
