The Police Jury have refused to|

They claim that the petition presented
did not justify an order for an election.
We do not care "Trip, believe the
tax would have been defeated anyway.
The l.. A. & f. s. Road is going to
be built all the same. We are in
receipt of q letter from Gen. Rice, who
says that the Syndicate have determin-
ed to build the road from Fort Scott to
New Orleans pta Natchez. crossing the
river at that point. Work will begin
at Vidalia before or by the first of next
November. He says the location of
the line through Morehouse will depend
entirely upon tho friendship nantes
ted by the people for the road. The
Company has determined to ccm-
down east of the Ouachita. They are
friendly toward Bastrop aud Monroe.
The people OF Monroe are disposed to
be liberal and are anxious for the road
to touch that town. Now, whilst we
are deprived of u chance to ascertain
positively what the sentiment of More
house is on the tax question, and
whilst the Clarion thinks that senti>
ment is adverse and opposed TO the
tax. the people of Bastrop have, in
this matter, a duty to;perform, work
to do, move to make, the procrasiin.

and bankrupt some of her best men.
We believe If Bastrop will show the
Company that her monied men are
willing to do all their power to secure
it. that this great trunk line will pass
ho Of D. ,
1t will not do for Bastrop to act the
siuggard in an enterprise of the mag
attude of this road. Her business men
cannot afford to sit still and suffer this
line to miss the town. The tax ques-
ton, 40 far as the country wards are
concerned, may be considered settled.
Now let the business men of Bastrop
show their hands. Lelay is dangerous.
Who will head move to see what
Bastrop can do for a railroad?

Oh,u Fanatics who Worship IL Woman

\ dispatch from Ciuciuuati, July II,
saws: One of the most remarkable
manias of which there is any record
has broken out in Il little circle III this
city. A party Of thirty or forty peo-
pie, most OF them prominent and
above the average in intelligence,
believe that that Mrs. John 3. Mar
tin, of Walnut Hills, is Christ manifest
in the flesh, and that her sister, Mrs.
John L. Brook, is the Holy Ghost.
The followers of these two women
meet mt Mrs. Brooks house and wor-
ship them both. Mrs. Martin hes
exerted some strange and wonderful
influence thai has put them complete
IL in her power, and they are fanatics
on the subject, One OF the followers
of this Woman Christ is named
Jerome. He was Il bookkcceper here
for the Cincinnati agency Of ID. Ap-
pteton & Co, the New York publishers.

mankind. To an Enquirer reporter
who saw him to-day he said in an

A young man named Cook, who
works in the auditors Office of the
Adams Express Company, has also
been captured. lie resigned has
position aud has attached himself TO
the new sect. They believe that all
churches are frauds, and the preachers

that Christ should manifest himself in

there arc no sexes, and the Saviour is
as liable 10 appear in woman rs IN

At Toronto, Canada, Friday, How
ard Douglass, of Cincinnati, Supreme
Vice Chancellor of the World of the
knights of Pythias. was elected to the
highest office within reach of a mems
Der of that order-the Supreme Chan~
cellorship.
Mr.. Douglass was initiated mem
Der of the knights of Pythias in May,
1869, and took such an active interest
in the working of the order that IN
December Of the same year he formed

the strongest in membership and
wealth in the State of Ohio. He was

Cincinnati claims that distinguished
Knight as one of her sons, he having
been born in that city Jan. 81 lS4G.
He is small in stature, not weighing
more than 100 pounds, and is often
spoken of as "Ltttte Howard" Mr.,
Douglas Is an active citizen, and has
taken great interest in local politics.
He is q staunch adherent Of the Dem
ocratic faith. AS President of the
Board of Education he has served with
distinction, having been reelected to
this important trust twice, and would
have been honored with u third term
had he given his consent. He is pop
ular with all classes, and has been
importuned to become a candidate ior
Mayor and Congress, but absolutely
declines, preferring to continue his
practice Of law, at which he has built
ND an extensive business.

That o'erthrown is the great altar, "here

While on high to Aphrodite rose the solemn

Do they deem that thus the story of my life
will pass away
Troy betrayed, and all who loved me siam
upon that fatal day,
Shall but make the memory Of me ever
moro with men to stay.

Fools! to dream that time can ever make

Buried now is every hero, and the grass

But Of her they fought and died for every

Lapeer.
Our society in this place has done a
good summers work. 1t is unfortunate
that its leader should be called away
just as the most active season for church
work begins. We had hoped that for
many years to come our cause at this
point would not be without an advocate.
But there is no cause for dependency.
There is most excellent Universalist ma
terial in the parish and much good feel
ing outside. Let there but come man
with conservation, tact and push and all
will be we'll with Lapeer. We very much
wish that Lapeer could engage perma-
nent pastor before Oct. 5.
Portland.
We have received letter from our
young brother located here. 1t rings
with the right spirit, and we have no
doubt but from time to time we shall
hear of good work and progress from
this quarter. The Portland people have
the name of working in harmony and to
effect under good leadership, and excel.
lent results are expected now. We trust
our young brother will bring a large del
egation to the Convention. Let this be
a banner year for the Portland parish.
Vacant Pulpits.
There are a number of vacant pulpits
in Michigan yet, though we have made
the number less in the passing year.
There was never a better time for an
awakening among those who have been
sleeping. We are on the eve of better
times. The financial outlook for 81 is
good. Our people were never more able
to support ministers than at present
The active churches throughout the
State are also in good condition to rem.
der needful aid, and any church which
faithfully puts its shoulder TO the vince
need not ask twice for efficient help. Lei
every parish without pastor elect good

our Convention Oct. 5. It is the hour OF
your need, brethren: it is also the hour of
your opportunity.
Permanent Missionary Fund.
We are persuaded that it is time that
the Universalists of Michigan began the
work of raising $4,000 missionary
fund. ALI our neighborine States have
made grand moves in this direction, and
we can no longer afford to be idle. We
have men of wealth in our midst who
will do their part if this matter is rightly
presented, and there are scores Of men of
moderate means who are ready for the
work. We shall be disappointed it the
forthcoming program does not make pro-
vision for session to take into consider
alton this important matter.
The Convention.
The State Convention convenes at Bay
City, Oct. 5. 1t is especially desired that
we have large gathering of our people.
Let every pastor urge the attendance of
his people. Our society will do all it can
to make our brethren happy. The city
presents many attractions. The season
is delightful, but above all things we de-
sire that this annual meeting shall be
unusually successful during '86 in point
of numbers and OF work. Let each make
it personal matter. Come yourself and
bring your neighbor. We believe it is
destined that the word of this Conven-
ton shall echo in many hearts in the
years that are yet to be. Again we say,
come.
Rev. DR.. Rexford.
1t was tribute of respect and conf
dence paid to DR.. Rexford by Messrs.
Leland and Corby, of the last graduating
class at Canton, in inviting him to preach
their ordination sermon, at Cicero, N. Y.
We have many strong men in the East,
but these young brothers preferred the
eloquent and able pastor of the Church
of Our Father, Detroit. Rev. Frank
Hall, of Fitchburg, Mass, also invited
the DR.. to preach the sermon at the
recent dedication of Our new church in
that place.
