Sunday, October 25th, was observed in
the NJ. E. church here as Autumnal Day.
An appropriate sermon was preached by
the pastor, Rev. d. b. Harris, in the morn
ing. IN the evening the exercises con-
sisted of singing by the Sunday school and
choir, an address by the pastor, two read
ings by Mr.. Il. J. Hoftner, and an address
by A.. Alden Powell. They were all well
rendered and very fitting, and many were
the congratulatory remarks from persons
in the congregation. Those that sang also
did credit TO themselves. The song book
used was the Epworth Hymnal, which we
just lately introduced into Il Sunday
school. Though our acquaintance with the
book is short. we have many words Of
praise to offer in its behalf as being Just
the book for which it was Intended
hymnal for the Sunday school. The
church was very tastefully trimmed with
autumn leaves and cut flowers. also run
ming vines, which enyeloped the entire
front Of the platform. In the recess, on
the wall, was the motto .'The Harvest has
Come" in arch form, made of autumn
leaves; below the motto was a large sheaf
of wheat, fastened in some manner to the
wall, and stuck in the band OF the sheaf
was a sickle, also trimmed with autumn
leaves. the whole making a varied and
pretty scene for the large and appreciative
congregation that filled the church. Tn
fortunately the Superintendent was sick,
but Bro. Harris managed things very sne
cessfully.

III .Mental Science gave the following
definition: Education treats of the develop
ing powers of man, and furnishing his mind
with knowledge" He said the first part
must be the best, because that is the part
that gives wisdom, and to do that should
be the aim of all teachers. They should
study psychology. should know something
Of that mind they are training; that mind
which isthe moyerofallm advance
ments Of the age. We cannot tell what
the mind is, but it manifests itself in three
great ways, therefore the mind is that
which thinks, feels and wills. The three
distinct forms in which the mind manifests
itself are the Intellect, Sensibilities and
VIII. The German M-etaphysician. Kant.
was the first to nnounce these three di-
visions.
After 4 talk on Perception. the first sub
division of the Intellect, a short recess was
taken, following which Miss Hillman, of

Memory are. Retention. Recollection, Rep
resentation and Recognition. He dwell
particularly on the primary avs of memt
DRY being Similarity, Dissimilarlty, Cause,
Effect and C~ontiguity Of time and place.
The teacher should know these laws and
teach according to them. The third sub
division, Imagination, was given a very
prominent place in the catalogue of a
teachers requirements and a faculty that
should be highly cultivated in children.
1t was d~enominated ''The divine power.'
After a short recess, Miss Hillman gave

Superintendent. lectured in the Court
House, on ''The Practical Principles of
Teachers Work. He thought the world
required a more understanding work on
the part of teachers, and that the time
was coming when the qualifications of a
teacher would be tested by his knowledge
OF Mental Science and his application in
the school room.
At the close of the lecture Miss Hillman
gave two reeitations, 'The Returned

PITrsBuRo, jim. 14.%oseph D.

national committee. in an interview to-
night said: II have read carefully the
interview with Mr.. J. s. Clarkson, of the
DesMoines Reoiste, in the Chicago Tri-
baue, yesterday, Jan. 10, regarding the
overtures made by St. John to sell out to
the Republicans in the late campaign. As
it was well known that l was a Prohibi-
ZIONIST. though not a ST. Johnite, both
Mr.. Clarkson and Mr.. Kearns kept me
informed as to the overtures made and
showed me the correspondence. So far
as | am acquainted with tho facts and I
had knowledge of almost every instance
referred to in Mr.. Clarkson's interview,
he states them correctly. / have seen
the originals of the letters of james T.
Legate to Mr.. Garrison and Mr.. Kearns.
and have copies of them taken from the
originals by myself, and these
as given by Mr.. Clarkson
and Mr.. Kearns are correct 1 believed
at the time. and still believe, that Mr..

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1.-THE bill which is
to be introduced in congress for the es-
Enlistment of a cattle trail from Texas to
the British Possessions provides that the
secretary Of the interior shall appoint
three commissioners to lay out and mark
by metes and bounds the quarantined
national trail and grazing grounds, the
trail not to exceed six miles in width, and
to be narrowed at places to a mere road
way; the grazing grounds to be established
at intervals along the trail and not % ex-
coed twelve miles square. Both trail and
grazing grounds are to be strictly quaran-
tined and no cattle allowed to leave il 30
long as they have any signs Of Texas
fever among them. When the commits
sioners make their report the secretary
of the interior is to file a map Of the trail
as laid out and then to give the public
notice Of its establishment and the with
drawal Of the public land occupied by it
from either sale, location or settlement
for a term Of ten years with $4,000 are

Wholesale Fanca QUITTING,

DENVER, Jan 1.-THE Tribune Re
publican's Las Vegas special says: A
strong organization of wire fence cutters
have commenced operations in Colfax
county. An unbroken line Of wire from
the Ponie to the Tequisquiti river, about
ninety miles, has been cut in the last day
or two. The cutters are unknown but
should their identity be established a
bloody war will surely follow. 1t is said
that heavy cattle owners fence more
ground than their deeds call for. In
many cases streams are illegally fenced for
hundreds of miles, thus keeping cattle on
the government land from getting water,
for want of which they drift against the
fences and die from thirst. Three hun
dred and fifteen head thus died along
Col. Taylor's fences last spring. Elk
Senator Dorsey, who owns sixty miles
square Of wire fenced land at Palo Blanca,
addressed the cutters at Springer yester-
day. He said to them if they would in
form him when they proposed to com.
mence operations IN his fences he would
voluntarily emoye them. The cutter
agreed to give him notice.

Further Facts About Phelan.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE police have
ascertained hat Capt Thomas Phelan
lived in Sheffield in 1888 and openly
avowed himself the agent Of OsDonovan
Rosa. He always dressed well, wearing
a different suit of clothes every day and
seemed to be abundantly supplied with
money. He had a large quantity of lug
gage. including a dressing case containing
silver and ivory toilet requisites. He de-
nouncedthe murder of Lord Frederick Cav
endish and Under Secretary Burke, but
when james Carey turned informer he
cursed the informer and uttered vague
threats of vengeance. Phelan's acquaint-
ances in Sheffield remembered this when
Carey was slain by O'Donnell, and they be-
lieve Phelan had something to do with the
planning Of Carey's taking off.

The Mutinous Mexieans.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IA. = The
Chronicle San Diego special gives the
following additional particulars of the out
break at Ensenada, Mexico: At midnight
Saturday the sergeant of the guard was
bayoneted by a sentry in the back while
sitting in his tent. The house Of Capt.
Rico was broken into, and the captain was
shot dead 10 bed. Bis wife was seized
and the money in the house demanded.
She said there was none and was dubbed
to death with muskets and the house
pillaged, 81, 900 and other valuables being
taken. The horses in the village we're
collected and the mutineers departed,
taking the lieutenant with them, who a
short distance out was dubbed and left for
dead. He afterwards recovered and re-
turned to the village. 1t is thought his
injuries are not fatal. A noted bandit,
Pancho Lopez, planned the revolt and he
leads the party, which camped at Jacu-
melio, a few miles south of Campo.

GALVESTON, JAM 1.-THE Galveston
Nesos Big Spring special says: Joe
Finch. Earl of Aylesford, died here last
night at $50 o'clock of cirrhosis of the
liver and dropsy. He has been declin-
ing the past year but nothing serious was
anticipated until a few hours before his
death. The attending physician says
that yesterday the ~earlate the largest meal
Of several weeks. conversed freely, and
seemed to be rapidly improving. Fam
ily troubles drove him to America. Be
ing fond Of sporting he naturally
selected an unsettled part of the
state where a few years could
be spent without interruption. Al
though only SO years Of age he had the
appearance Of a man so years old, having
been Of late years a hard drinker. The
earl leaves no male descendants. His til
tie to the Baronetcy of Aylesford and its
estates now fall to his next eldest brother,
Charles Finch. All the late earl's per
sonal propertyfwil 20 to his two daugh-
tens, now in England His stock and
landed interest in Texas are small,
amounting to about $4,000, although
over $4,000 had been invested in Texas.
The earl's life was insured in English
companies TO the amount OF nearly $780,
600. The remains are now being en-
balmed, and will go to England in charge
of Mr.. Bernard, his private secretary.
The late Earl at % married Edith,
daughter Of Col. Peers Williams, M. p,
of Temple Court, Berks, England, and
had by her two daughters. The marriage
was considered an advantageous one on
both sides, for the groom had rank and
wealth, was recognized as a future leader
in society and politics, and the bride was
one of the l~oveliest women in Europe,
famous at four courts for her beauty and
and attractions.
The Prince of Wales has been charged
with the responsibility of running Ayles-
ford and may have had much to do with
it. for he took the young Earl into his
most intimate companionship and made
him a chum and comrade in the wild or
gies that made the people Of England SO
distrustful Of their future monarch. The
prince ceased to SOW his wild oats and
settled down to comparative docility, but
the Earl kept up the spree until about a year
