Just as he described you and here am |

could not stand the rebuke, SO he contin-
ued his anathemas against the man of
God, and Mitchell was as good as his
word. s. he left the saloon, and with a
few of his companions signed that night
a pledge to never drink again. This was
the beginning Of the Washington Pledge
that was circulated all over the United
States when We were boys.
The address being based on Proverbs
%: 29-32. The speaker showed that it
was the abuse Of drinking wine that
caused all Of the horrors therein enumer-
ated, and then how much more to drink
the adulterated beverages dealt out over
the modern saloon counter. Every
Christian should, therefore, to save his
fellow beings from the ruinous effects of
strong drink. adopt the Pauline
plan in reference to eating meat. See

MIR. ENGLISH SET RIGHT.

The indianapolis Times denies the
widely circulated report that Mr.. w.
ii. English is candidate for the
United States Senate to succeed Mr..
Harrison. Mr.. English was depicted
as quietly putting himself in commu-
nication with all the local Democratic
leaders in Indiana and engaging in a
most formidable still hunt.
What Mr.. English really is up to is
TO get the names of the members of the
Indiana Constitutional Convention Of
1850 and of the legislature of 1852.
He wants to have a reunion of the sur
vivors in indianapolis.
Mr.. English is sensible in not being a
candidate for the Senate. In the first
place 1t is by no means certain that the
next Indiana Legislature will be Demo
cratic; and in the second place there
are no conspicuous indications in the
heavens that the Democrats of Indiana
want Mr.. English in the Senate. 1t is
doubtful if they DO, but of course he
has the same right TO covet the honor
that any other man has, and we cannot
see why he should be indignant at
being credited with senatorial aspira-
tions.
1t is unfortunate; but Mr., English,
though veritable pink of modesty, is
such politician withal that he can't
oven make move towards getting up
an innocent little reunion of old citi-
zens, but the conclusion is Immediately
jumped at that there's some willy game
behind it.

JAY COOKE AT DULUTH.

Mr.. JAY Cooke is on visit to Du-
1uth, where he has always been favor
ite and is always sure of cordial wei
come, because of the great interest he
took in the Northern Pacific and in
the city of Duluth as the lake terminus
of that road. A special to the Phla-
delphia Ne1cS gives quite detailed ac-
count of his reception there and of the
speech he made before the Board of
Trade after an absence of twelve
years.
1t seems that Mr.. Cooke has not lost
faith in this metropolis of the "unsated
seas" but is engaged in scheme that
cannot fail to add largely to its pros
perity. He is the president and NOV
ing spirit of company which controls
The water force on both sides of the St.
Louis River, fourteen miles south Of
Duluth-a power said to fully equal
that of the Merrimac at Lowell-and
the utilization of which will make the
place selected for the erection of mills
the great flour manufacturing centre of
the country
1t has been long time since Proctor
Knots speech on Duluth and the
dreams of those who had invested there
in railroad or other ventures have not
been fully realized, but it is doubtful if
they were ever really oyerwrought.
MIR Cooke suffered more, perhaps, by
the panic Of 1873, which consigned
Duluth to what seemed n hopeless col
lapse, than any other Of the parties in
terested, but the work of recuperation
has been rapid and substantial and the
investments now contemplated will en-
hance the wealth of that section of the
country incidentally, There's mil.
lions in It.

MIR. uuRLnur's EXPLOITS.

They tell a story in New York that
does not reflect very well upon Mr..
William Henry IIurlbut ("burt' with a
b-u-D, formerly editor of the Foyid,
but who recently became anglicizcd
and married an English lady Mr..
Hurlbut is, with his wife, now residing
in Rome, and had u lofty ambition to
be L. $. Minister to that court. lie
was indeed convinced that he would
get it, and went so far as to have cards
engraved bearing his name as envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary, He was about giving up the
house in which he resides at present,
and was negotiating for the palace
which Mr.. Astor lived in.
Mr. Hurlbut did not get the mission,
but he got exceedingly wrolh, and did
all he could TO prejudice the Italian
Government against Mr.. Kelley. 1t
appears that everything printed in this
country criticising Mr.. Kelley and the
Administration has been translated and
reproduced in the Italian and Aus
trian newspapers. Even the little
squibs in which the editor attempted
10. be funny at Mr.. Kciley's expense
have been reproduced, and most of this
matter, we are told, was prepared by
Mr. Hurlbut.
This is very small and very impcr.
tinent business on the part of any man
affecting to be gentleman. Since he
has ceased to be an American he should
dabblc as little as possible in matters
concerning the country he has left be-
hind him.

SEALED ORDERS.

On she swung from her moorings,
And over the harhor bar.
AS the moon was slowly rising
She faded from sight 8fu-
And we traced her cleaning canvas
by the twinklmg evening star
None know the port she sailed for,
Nor whittier her cruise would be;
Her future course was shrOudcl
In silence and mystery;
She was sailing beneath sealed OrlCrs"--
To be opened out at sea,
Some souls cut on from mOorngs,
Go drifting into the night
Darkness before and round them,
With scarce glimmer of light;
They are acting beneath "sealel orders
And sailing by faith, not sight.
Keeping the line of duty
Through good and evil report,
They shall ride the storms out safely,
BE the voyage long or short
For the ship that carries Gods orders
shall anchor at last In port.
