Breaking the Devil to Pieces.

From the Baltimore American. 1
The Salvation Army, in their new
barracks at Gilmor and Baltimore
streets, had a jubilee all day. The
bright weather brought out many in
terested from motives of curiosity only,
and others who desired to testify to the
practical workings of Christianity in
their own lives. An old-fashiined expe-
rience meeting vas held IN the after
noon. The rays from the declining
sun streamed through the side win.
dows, on the inside Of which were
tackled strips OF cheap calico in
all %colors, except black. It was .
very unsuccessful attempt at repro.
ducing the g~orgeousness of pure sun
light through imported stained glass.
When the sun sank behind the houses
and withdrew its rays, the gloomy aspect
inside was relieved only by two small
clusters Of gas jets about the pulpit.
Although light was scant there was no
lack of sound. In the pulpit were a
stout man with q close-fitting red jack
ct, which seemed unrelieved by shirt
collar; q tall, angular woman in o red
jersey, a buxom colored woman in a
dark dress, trimmed with two rows OF
pearl buttons; a very slim white woman
a beardless boy, two elderly men and a
~ten-year-old child. All these, except
ing the child and the tive men, were
singing at the top of their voices, "Sal-
vation's Free" "Im so Glad Jesus
Loves Me-" etc, and swinging their
hands like the chorus in Pinafore in
"Softly on Tip-toe Stealing" The
stout nan was the leader. He was very
hoarse, but managed now and then to
be heard. The deep baritone voices OF
the noisy young men in the rear
81 the house sang half a line
behind the leaders, but con-
tributed to the volume of the sound, il
not to the melody. All gave their ex.
periences. the regular officers of the
army first. The angular woman in the
red jersey, after saying. in a strong for
eign accent, that she was very happy.
took a seat beside one of the elderly
men and put her arm over the bench
behind him. Ihe leader gave his testl.
mony, but with q most reckless disre-
gard for the letter "h" wherever he
crossed it. Frequent EXPLANATIONS OF
glory 'hallelujah!" ETC., encouraged
the speakers. and a 3-year-old child
drummed so loudly in applause on q
bench with its feet that its mother had
to threaten mild personal violence. AL
the experiences were most satisfactory.
Some gave long reviews of lives once
almost wasted, but happily reformed al
critical periods. At the end of the ser.
vice the<stout man could hardly be
heard, but he summoned all his vocal
powers and announced hoarsely,
Well have a service tonight at s
O'Clock, and take up q collection at the
door, SO as not to interrupt the exer'
cises. We mean to break the devil al
to pieces"

Bob Ingersoll's Fee in the Star.
Route Cases.
st. Louis Globe Democrat

While ex-senator Dorsey was here in
attendance OF the Cattle Convention
he was asked one day how much he paid
Bob Jngersoll for his defense in the
Star-ronte trials. "Well," said he, sit
was very curious how that was done.
From the beginning to the end of the
trial Ingersoll never asked me for a
dollar. One day, after I had been nc.
quilted on the second trial, I met In
gersoll, and 1 asked him how much /
owed him. He at first declined to talk
about it, saying he had no charge to
make, and he didn't care if he never got
q cent. I asked him to walk a few
squares with me. md we went to the
Safe Deposit building. I unlocked my
box and took out A per cent. govern
ment bond for 100000 and gave it to
him. He put it in his pocket and we
walked away, and have not referred to
the subject SINCE"

How Shall Women be Dressed?
From the Hour

The costumes of woman, from a HYGIENE
point OF view, Is much discussed at present,
and the vexed question of tight lacing. and of
skirts too numerous and heavy for the forms
which sus ain them, is OUsidered with patient
thOughtfulness by medical people and female
reformers. However, all this great expendi-
ture of time and attention viii doubtless re-
suit, as it has hitherto done, in no possible
change in dress save that prescribed by fash
ion.
The evils of lacing are in general exaggera-
ted, and 1t is by no means impossible That if
men wore species Of corset they would enjoy
an immunity from the effects Of violent cold
and many disorders from which they now suf-
fer. The ancient beau of an age more foppish
than our own was not unfamiliar with the art
of lacing, and there is no record of his being
injured by it.
The exposure to cold 10 wearing low-neck
dresses Is certainly one which affects the
health of women more Immediately than the
wearing of corsets, and the thin soled slippers
and high heels of the day are also causes Of
cold and consequent disturbance Of the
system. The advantage of wooden undervests
over silk is certainly not to be denied; but TO
an irritable skin the former is almost as in
tolerable as the hair shirt of penltent, and
as such self-Inflicted scourges are not ae
riguear for the moment, the silk vest Is per-
haps the more popular.

That Confederate Bond Business.

That Confederate Bond Business.
Dir. n. G. Gonzales, of Columbia, S. c.,
has another communication in the Charles
ton Nel0S and Courier, in which he says
that the explanation of the confederate
bond craze" given by him a few weeks
ago, that it was a scheme of Hon. Judah
p. Benjamin and the secret agents of the
Confederate Government in Europe to dis
tribute the alleged Confederate secret SER
vice fund among the bondholders of the
Confederacy, was not the announcement
of theory, as many supposed, but plain
statement Of fact obtained from what he
believes to be a perfectly reliable source,
and he has the name of one Of the secret
agents Of the Confederacy who is yet
alive. He also cites the fact that n secret
session Of the Confederate Congress was
held on Feb. 10, 1864, at which an act was
passed appropriating $5,000,0O0 for the
use of the secret service bureau.
So far as the public is concerned, the
statement of Mr.. Gonzales can only be
accepted as a very plausible theory, until
actual evidence shall be obtainable to
prove his assertions, and this evidence.
from obvious reasons, cannot be had very
readily, if it can be had at all. 1t does
seem to be the most reasonable theory
that has yet been advanced, for there can
be no hope Of any change taking place in
the well settled policy of the United States
Government, and of the Southern States,
regarding the Confederate war debt. No
sane man believes that any serious at
tempt will ever be made to pay it, either
in whole or in part. The Confederate
bonds are valueless and viii never be
worth anything except as relics, and they
will long be too plentiful to command
more than merely nominal price in the
curiosity shops.
The theory of Mr.. Gonzales looks like
an extremely tanciful one in this age Of
INSCRIPTIONS inanciering, but no right
thinking nan can doubt that there were
at the end of the war, and are yet many
men in the world who would not retain
money to which they could have no claim,
whether there was any power to bring
them to an account or not.
This theory is one that does credit to
humanity, and in the absence of any
purely selfish cause tor the Confederate
bond craze that bears the stamp of rea-
son, men who love honesty will take
pleasure in entertaining it. 1t is possible,
but not very probable, that actual proof
on the subject will be forthcoming. Until
such shall be the case controversy must
be unsatisfactory and improbable.

net was somewhat lacking in freshness, just

Great Britain. Her cashmere cloak, trimmed
with Grape, was drawn IN at the waist be-
hind, the better to adorn a figure which is
still symmetrical, and the beautiful, taper
fingered hands were encased in black gloves
which htted without single wrinkle. Nor

semblance Of courtly surrounding. Three
ladies accompanied her. and by their deferen-
tiai manner plainly showed how far above
themselves they held the historic parsonage
with whom they had the honor to be associ-
ated.
To all who saw Eugene in those long past
days, when her golden hair and her mauve
silk dresses and her crinolines, and her "fresh
butter" colored gloves were matters of inter-

parsonage Will always remain an inera 1lcable

PIYmnuth's Lesson.

The physicians OF the New York Board
of Health who were appointed to make an
investigation of the causes OF the epidemic
at Plymouth, Pa, say, that there is nc
doubt that the disease is typhoid fever,
and that it is produced by polluted water.
! According to the statement in our dis
| patches this morning, there have been,
up to the present time, 905 cases of sick
ness and 30 deaths. AS Plymouth is a
very small place. it will be seen from this
statement that the epidemic is very
severe.
This epidemic ought to serve as a warn
ing to all the towns of the country. 1t
seems 10 be admitted that the sickness
came originally from one typhoid fever
case, but it is probable that one case
could not have caused an epidemic if it
had not been for the fact that the systems
OF the people were in a condition to be
easily inoculate1. The people had been
drinking water polluted with sewage, and
besides, the town was in a remarkably
bad sanitary condition.
The objections of the one typhoid fever
patient got into the water and the cpl
demic was the result. Too much care
cannot be exercised in sanitary matters,
and especially ought the greatest care be
exercised in keeping the drinking water
of town pure.
A few months ago we called attention,
in a series of articles, to the well water Of
this city. They caused considerable dis
cussion, but nothing was done to prevent
the free use of well water, or to have
the water of the wells Analysed
in order to place its condition
beyond controversy. Our well water
may not be sufficiently polluted to cause
sickness, but, as was the case at
Plymouth, may it not SO poison those who
use it as to make them easy victims to
disease if cholera or yellow fever or other
infectious disease should find Judgment
here?
In very few cities and towns of the
country is there as much care exercised
in supplying the people with pure drink
ing water as there ought to be. The diff
culties encountered in securing pure
water are constantly increasing. AS the
country becomes more thickly settled the
streams which supply drinking water to
the towns become more poisoned with
sewage. Philadelphia is now making
an extraordinary effort to keep the water
of the Schuylkill river free from sewage,
and New York is talking about buying a
strip of land on either side Of Croton river,
half mile wide, in order to keep her
drinking water pure. Those who are
charged with the duty of looking after the
public health are constantly being i'm
pressed with the Importance of keeping
the drinking water pure.
