Mr.. Beecher says of church quarrels: If
you want to know where infdelity is, 1 will
tell you. 1t is not in Bob Ingersoll's tongue,
but it is in the very heart of sthe Christian
church. Aud there also lies blasphemy Of
the worst sort. The ecclesiastical history Of
the world is the history, very largely, of quar-
reling. 1 can remember when the old
school and new school Presbyterians were
shifting each other hip and thigh. 1t was
not because they were Presbyterians; it was
because they were men under the dominion
of the devil. Even in the Congregational
church we have evidences of the presence of
this same old human nature. We see coun-
ellis called to settle differences, and we see
factions snarling, biting and hitting each
other, some of the quarrelsome ones, intheir

vile by the late Ohio flood:
81 had nice cottage home, with stables,
coal houses, coops, ETC., all complete. had
worked hard all my life, and had managed to
make my home somewhat attractive. The
house wins comparatively new and well fur
nished. 1 had furnished carpet on the hall
and parlors, an organ and fine set of furni-
ture. Everything was handy and thought
myself fortunate man. But the flood came
and carried away everything had. The lot
where the house stood was swept bare. The
only thing we saved from the flood was some
bedding. I found my stable about twelve
miles above Steubenville. When it was
washed away it contained fine COW, about
twenty-five chickens, six turkeys, and the
house dog. found the stable in an orchard.
The COW was dead, but the chickens and tur-
keys were living. Immediately after the
river fell went to Bridgeport, Ohio, and
walked all the distance back to Wellsville,
but could find nothing. 1 then came to
Wheeling, and from that point here along the
river to this place. l am worn down and viii
have to return home"
ssWe found what he supposed his house
and probably some of his outbuildings were
lodged in the big drift pile on the island"

out the balance of advantage inclining
more or less to one side. The incident is

to, it being the most economical as well
as the most equitable that can be en-
ployed.
