uling The state of Missouri and prohibit

IlliI ois except upon a clean bill of health.
The existence of p'euro-pneumonia in Mis-
souri, has ben SHOWN to Governor

has patiently wait d expected action
on the part of the state officer
of Missyuri necessary to promptly stamp
out the disease ADD prevent its spread into
adjoining states. Csttlemen of Illinois
have been greatly alarmed at the rapid
spread of the disease in Missouri, and the
reported dispersion OF cattle from the
infected territories has been such
as to cause we'll grounded fears that
infected animals would quickly
find their way iuto this state. The govern
or has promptly decided to protect our
cattle Interests by issuing his proclamation
by forbidding railroads and o;her individ-
ua's 10 ship cattle into this state without

If every public building in London
should be destroyed by Irish dynamite
the result would be, not Irish indie.
pendence, but Irish determination %.
Carlyle's cynical suggestion that the
true Irish policy would be to put the
Island under water for twenty-four
hours would become the purpose of
England. The atrocities of the
French Revolution are explicable.
They were the mad outbreak of a
misery and brutality which the gov
eminent had fostered, and for which
it promised no relief. But this kind
of explanation is wanting to the dyn-
amite terrorists. Their conduct
might have been extenuated as at
least not surprising during the height
of the abominable oppression of the
penal laws. But for nearly a GEN.
fury there has been a constantly ad-
vancing relief of Irish suffering and
correction of injustice in Ireland, un-
til now there remains no abuse or in
equality for which constitutional agi-
tation is not the greatest remedy.
In protection against such attacks
the cause of En- gland is the the cause
of civilization. 1t is not question of
politics, or of a single national inter.
est, it is that of orderly society against
anarchy.

The President will, of course, treat
the colored men fairly. Their color
will not constitute in bis eyes either a
qualification or disqualification for of

as a part of the people, and will be
dealt with as such. In the meanwhile
it is evident that a great point has

Washington that they should actually

CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANS.

To speak of a man as Christian
means that he is worthy, he is up
right, he Is never weary in well doing
he loves his neighbor as himself; but
in looking over the field. how few de-
We see that fulfill the definition to the
letter.
A man may be a member of q
church, but that does not constitute
him a Christian, by any means, as
even he is able to testify. He may
be guilty OF petty sins, he may be such
shrewd business man that he gets
the best of the bargains always in bis
dealings, but yet he may be deacon
and to the world a Christian.
What nonsense! A man should
not be known as Christian unless be
is Christian; A Christian, whose
living faith in sublime doctrine pro-
duces a purely true and devout spirit,
and whose deeds are so in-wrought
with the beauty of love for the Mas
ter, that men can not doubt from
whence the source. A true Christian
cannot be false, cannot be ignoble,
can not premeditate cruelty or treach-
cry, or indulge in the venomous stings
which make no sound through the
slumbrous air, but which leave wounds
that rankle and tester and cannot heal
because of the poison.
A Christian cannot cheat his neish-
Dor through the week and hide it in
the folds of clean clothes and sleek
hair and pious "amens," on Sunday;
a Christian cannot identify himself
with ill-gotten gains and broken
trusts and lost fealty; a Christian
cannot lead an adulterous life, which
the world hints at, but does not prove,
but which none the less exists; a
Christian must furnish an example of
the solid substance of his faith, and
by it create souls whose virtue will be
as distinctly superior to ordinary NOR
atty as genius is superior to ordinary
talent.
Mediocrity or luke-warmness is in
tolerable in Christianity. In other de-
partments there may be a place for
poor work, but in this, there must be
a high standard of finish, if nof per-
lection. There is no lower strata,
there are no common place apologies.
To be Christian means a Christian:
not a charlatan, not a hypocrite, |
merely and simply Christian because
one is a Christian, and is a Christian
because of Christ.

point and have opened up business on

this emergency it is the plain duty of

The Politest Of Clerks.

Chicago Tribune: "When Grant was
in Chicago, three or four years ago"
said an army official, "he lounged about
Sheridan's headquarters good deal.
His son Fred was at that time on Sheri-
dams staff, but was absent one day, and
Grant took his place at Fred's desk and
looked after the business. A nervous,
fidgety, irritable old fellow came in to
inquire after some paper that he had
left with Fred. When he stated his case,
Grant took up the matter in systematic
way, and proceeded in the manner of an
over anxious clerk to look the matter up.
The document could not be found, and
Grant, apologizing, walked with the old
gentleman to the door. As I walked
down stairs with the mollifed visitor, he
turned and asked: who is that old
codger? He is the politest clerk I ever
saw at military headquarters. I hope
Sheridan will keep him. I answered,
quietly, That Is Gen. Grant, The
tidgety old gentleman, after staring at
me for full minute said, with consider
able feryor: I will give you fifty cents
if you will kick me down stairs"

Prospects for an amicable settlement
of the Russo British troubles are not en-
oouraging. The first difficulty en-
countered is the preparation of prellmi-
naries for the proposed arbitration and
the powers have yet been unable to agree
upon single point upon which to pin a
beginning. Russia wants Hsrat and will
probably secure it by arbitration or war.
The general belief is that both the
powers are seeking delay and that a con-
hict is the only way out of the trouble.
