Worldly mindedness has been permitted
to creep into the life of the Salvation
Army at Xenia, Ohio. A few days ago
lady who took considerable interest il the
warriors, invited number of them to
supper. During the evening young fe
male soldier of the cross" entered a pri-
vate room and stole some money and
other articles. She was excessively pious,
but she stole and secreted, just like a
plain, common, everyday thief. The at
tention of the commander was called to
the case, and the offender was court
martialed and sent to her home at Youngs-
town. They don't allow any foraging
among the Salvation soldiers. They have
not gotten to the point where they believe
that person can be both thief and
christian.
This lonely sister will have to beat her
tamboureen in solitude, now.

England has been as proud of Gen. Sir
Garnet Wolsely as the ordinary farmer
would be of a speckled horse. He is one
of the institutions of England, placed
high in the scale of admiration by reason
or his profound military genius. When
a knotty question of military expediency
or wisdom presented itself, it was only
necessary for Wolsely to don his badges
and epaulettes, and give his opinion.
That settled it beyond all cavil.
When the despised Ell Mahdi began Ca
vorting in the Soudan, with his army of
fanatical Arabs, the British Government
seemed to think that it would be picnic
to destroy him. But this idea was quickly
pur ched out of the British mind by an
Arabian spear. Then England concluded
to send force into the Soudan which no
power could withstand-even the great
Wolsely This great soldier went to the
field, trod carefully upon the hot sands,
stuck his fingers in the fire few times,
and concluded that it was entirely too
hot for him. The Mahdi did not fight
according to Wolseley's plans, and he be-
came disgusted and quit. We are told
that Wolsely once expressed the opinion
that Grant was not much of a soldier! \

Give us Bundy for Governor, and we
care less for the county ticket. Failing
Bundy, we want Beatty. one of the few
high, heroic souls of the Republican par
ty, who never bowed the knee to the Half
Breed" Baal, of Cancellation, meanness
and cowardice. Beaten, demoraliZed and
sullen, many of the party leaders now be-
gin to see that Garrison, Wade, Beatty

Now that the fine summer weather has
come, have been walking about town.
A few days ago called at Graham's. 1
ing some spouting, to be sent off by ex-
press. He is now doing large amount
of work in the out door line, in the way
of roofing, spouting, sc.
Next / called at Mrs. Graham's ROOM
She told me she would soon have another
lot of queensware, glassware, cutlery, &c.
of Il superior quality.
Then l came up street, and looked in at
the Marble shop of Adam w. Long, in
the Jones Hall building. Whatever Long
does is done right He not only gets up
the finest work in marble and granite,
but he puts up steps, lays flagstone pave
ments, &c. Some three or four years
ago he put up some steps in front of one
of Mrs. Mackley's houses, on Portsmouth
Street, and it is "a neat, substantial piece
of work Recently he has laid stone
pavement from the gate to the jail, and
around the Jail on the northwest side.
Call and see this work.
Then l went across from the Jail to
o. S. Miller's, and found that he had still
a large amount of goods, although he has
sold an immense quantity, since he COM
menced to close out.
Returning to the subject of pavements,
notice that Miller has stone pavement
in front of his store. What a wonderful
improvement it would be if we had
stone pavement in front of the Isham
House, Dungan's store, the First Nation
al Bank-in fact, all the way down to
the pavement in front of the new block.

Republican party are greater than any
man, and in selecting candidate for Gov
ernor he should be chosen because he is
the exponent of those principles-nOt
merely because he wants to be Governor.
1t is not difficult to get a wooden man to
run for Governor; but we want some
thing better; we want a man who is firm,
uncompromising defiant, in his advocacy
of the principles of the grand party that
has accomplished such great rhings for
this country; we want man who believes
in the enforcement of the laws, and the
triumph of justice; we want a man who
is Republican because it is right to be a
Republican, and who desires to succeed
to some exalted position in the political
field only that he may be of practical use
and benefit to the great principles which
form the life of the Republican party.
The office of Governor of Ohio should not
be considered mere plaything, to be Civ
in to any man who wants it, but the par
ty should choose, for that position, from
among the very best men in it. We do
not believe in placing the office of Gov
erno f Ohio on a level with that of JUS
tice of the Peace.

Exposition will be to preserve all the
old relics, family heir-looms and curiosi-

formerly. There is many an article of
seeming insignificance to us, which is of
great interest, perhaps, to somebody else,
and we should carefully preserve these
silent witnesses of the past.

The tenor of this Lesson is the shapin
of the church life, and the exhortation t.,
drive out all that could detract from tbs
righteous life and spiritual success of tha
Church. AT the time this letter wa,
written the Apostle was at liberty, after
an Imprisonment of five years. The letteD
was written from Macedonia, to Timothy,
whom Paul had left in charge of the
Church at Ephesus.
Faithful saying" as here used, signifies
saying worthy of belief, or one which
should be believed. Paul here styles him
self the chief of sinners. This is a natural
feeling to those who have come out from
the darkness of sin into the marvellous
light of the Gospel. Their past lives look
all black and sinful. and not being able to
read other hearts, they regard their own
cases as the very worst types of sin.
Paul argues that as in himself first the
saving power of the Savior was mani
tested, this should be token to all men
of their opportunities in Christ.
The truths which the Apostle here
utters to Timothy are considered in the
light of a sacred trust to the latter. He
styles Timothy as his son, because the
latter as young man had joined Paul at
Lystra. and had been his companion in
all his wanderings, and Paul had come to,
look upon him in the relation of father
and son. Timothy is urged to so shape
his work and teachings that the people
might hold faith and good conscience,
and not be like Hymeneus, an heretical
teacher at Ephesus. Hymeneus and Alex
ander, two blasphemers, the Apostle "de-
ivered unto Satan," that is, abandoned
them to their wickedness, considering
that there was yet possibility of their
seeing the evil of their ways and turning
toward the better life. The church is ex-'
horted to life of prayer and praise for
all men; for kings, and for all that are in
authority, as well as for the humblest
man, thus seeking to impress the great
truth that God is no respecter of persons,
and that worldly station or title cannot
avail anything at the Throne of Grace
God would have all men to be saved, and
to come into the knowledge of the truths
of the Gospel.
All who would come into full knowl-
edge of saving faith in Christ Jesus must
recognize the fact that there is but one
God and one Mediator. That Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, gave himself a
ransom, to suffer and die on the cross for
the sins of mankind. That after the
physical death He rose from the tomb
and ascended into Heaven, and that He
now acts as Mediator between the Father
in Heaven and His children upon the
earth This" says the Apostle, is "to be
testified to in due time" meaning that the
testimony was to be made to the whole
world that Christ is the Redeemer of man
kind. The teachings of this Lesson are
that the vilest of sinners may come into
full salvation through faith in Christ;
that it is the duty of all to lead Cody
lives; that mankind always have me-
diator in Christ.
