Wednesday in each month is devoted to sew
ing, and it is a pleasant sight to loyal hearts to
see our ladies engaged in repairing and knit
ting endeavOring to make comfortable and
happy the widows and orphans of those who
fought in our country's defense"
The Veterans Adrocate contains the follow
ing well-merited compliment to the retiring
Department President: "Mrs. Kent, the re-
tiriDg Department President, will take with
her the best wishes of every Corps in the State.
In addition TO the faithful and conscientious
performance of her official duties in the minu-
test detail, she has personally won the esteem
and regard of all who have been in any way
connected with her. She has aided those Corps
who have needed help not only with the nee
essary information for their work, but with
kindness, sympathy and sensible advice. We
think all who know her will agree with us in
wishing her many more years in which to do
good and make friends as she has done in the
past year."
The Department of Maine, WR.C, held their

A FAIR OF WORTHLESS.

John A. Logan ought to feel supremacy
happy in the congratulatory tele-
gram sent him by James G. Blaine. Ii
is something similar to the expressions
of good feeling conveyed to person
supposed to be dead, and who was
fervently hoped to be, by another just
as bad, on learning that the report is
untrue. Blaine, while politically laid
out, is just the person to wire message
to a companion in iniquity on the
occasion of his rescue from the great
national undertaken. 1t was not the
absolute strength of the Democracy
which won their victory last November,
but the unsayory CT aracter of James G.
Blaine and John A. Logan-the former
trickster and notably dishonest man,
the latter trader and political shyster.
Blaine's message was appropriate, pro-
per and well-timed.
Blaine and Logan, of all men in the
United States, have done more to de-
bauch politics and make American citi-
zenship hiss and by-werd, than any
other persons since the day of Benedict
Arnold and Aaron Burr. One is and
always has been demagogue, looking
only to personal preferment; the other
man whose name should never in
spire in the breast of patriot one senti-
ment of respect or one feeling of graft
tude, Notwithstanding his se1vic in
the war of the Rebellion; he sold out to
the Union cause after making secession
speeches and doing all he could to raise
troops for the Confederacy in Southern
Illinois, and when the struggle was
over became the vilest of the vile in his
persecution of the people he at first
sought to aid. His opposition to the
bill to relieve Fitz John Porter
OF cruel and undeseryed
reproach and unmerited sentence
shows that he is destitute of generosity
or any quantity of justice; and that he
was a successful soldier was merely an
accident, that he is continued as a
statesman is an accident, and that he is
thoroughly Objectionable man is the
only thing in connection with his career
that is not an accident.
Blaine's telegram was most oppor-
tune and timely. The situation could
scarcely be improved by the most
skilled dramatist. Both were supposed
to be submerged in the waves of popular
desire; but through trick peculiar to
his class one of them gains the shore to
live few years longer; and the other
calls out as his partner scrambles to the |
landing, Il congratulate you"

negroes desire congregation of them
selves, and the mulattoes are of the
same mind with reference to their own
tints. The minister is all black, and the
blackskins laid claim to him and the
church furniture; the mulattoes were
willing to surrender the preacher, but
wanted an equitable portion of the
property. Then another question came
up, which puzzled them all: many mu-
lattoes have black wives, and mulatto
women have black husbands, and to di-
vide the church on the color line with
out separating families on the same line
was too difficult for any of them to
determine. The matter has been re-
ferred to the synod for arbitration, but
both parties are determined that they
can no longer worship together in
harmony. o

THE COLOR LINE.

The Charlotte, On. CO. Observer tells of
breeze that was raised in a colored
church in that city, over a proposition
by some members for division on the
color line. The proposition is somewhat
startling in its nature, being nothing
less than one to separate the black
skinned from the mulattoes and those
shades. Many of the pure blood

PARIS, IDAHO, May 81, 1885.

The report in circulation stating that
United States deputy marshals were
driven out of Paris, Idaho, by an armed
force and were interfered with in the
performance of their duty, is entirely
false. The facts are these, that on Sat
urday morning, May 9, Chris Nelson, a
supposed deputy marshal, served
papers on Samuel Matthews in
a religious meeting; also upon
John A. Hunt, just outside of
the meeting house. No attempt was
made to serve papers on anyone else.
Not single person interfered with any
officer whatever. After these papers
were served he (Neilson), in connection
with one John Il. King, another sup
posed deputy, left Paris.
That the above is a true and correct
statement we, the undersigned, most
declare.
