bright and beautiful to-day, though it
rained heavily in the early morning, The
people are gratefully reOccupying their
houses, and the number in shelters and
tents are rapidly diminishing. There
were three or four slight shocks Of earth
quake during the night, but none serious,
and comparatively few persons were aware
of their occurrence. The subsistence COM
mittee haS changed their plan of opera
tionS and have appointed visitors for each
ward to ascertain the eases of distress,
all al which will be- supplied ut their
homes. The Board OF Engineers are still
at work surveying buildings, and continue
to condemn those which are unsafe. The
latest reports from points along the South
Carolina railroad Indicate that the reports
OF distress at Lincolnville, UnightSvillc
and elsewhere were greatly exaggerated.
Whatever is necessary will he done for

In that article there were very important

and much other valuable matter to the

Cure for Corrupt Politicians.
To The Ettor of The Sunday Register:

~ HN EH"" ~ "" NdHddg htUtNT.
CORTALIA, d. T., September G.-Please
give space in Your valuable columns, in
the interest Of humanity, to the following
safe, sure and infallible cure for official
corruption, invented by a d~iSinherited vic
tim of Des Moline land steal of Iowa, and
dedicated to New York and Iowa Congress
men. / heretofore prepared this pure, ex-
tract Of the potato in liquid form, equal
parts of the striped hard-shell bug, and the
soft, red bug of the same family in en-
bryO, making a compound of the consist
eney of syrup. But finding the
weak and wayward-corruptible-too
dilatOry in applying for this valuable COM
pound. l have now preserved the bugs in
their natural state, and am prepared to
furnish it in powder form that can be dust
ed on the floors of Congress or placed on
seat, or desk of the grievously corrupt
man. 1t is potent and pungent, though
harmless to the unaffected, and any friend
of justice can place it where required, and
being free OF all charge l hope for many
applications. If this infallible cure had
been widely distributed in civil wartime
stealings-and its sequel TO the present
day, what a saving from the infamous ras-
oality of eOrruptible man to the people!

flower, l1h. 22m. 40s; Galatea, 1lh. 24m.
With a twenty mile run before them there
was an excellent opportunity TO test their
speed in a steady breeze, and with very
little sea to impede their progress, that a
stern chase is a long one, was never better
illustrated than in that twenty mile run.
For about twenty minutes the Galatea
held her own with the slOop,
but after that she was practical LIZ
ont of the race, for the MayHOwer
was leading her nedrly a mile when half
the distance to the ''outer mark was COW

sight, and in half an hour the fleet of
steamers, numbering 81 in all, had gath
ed around it to await the coming Of the
yachts. The wind had fallen light and
had canted a point to the westward. Down
came the trio like white winged birds be-
fore the wind. The Mayfower's balloon
jib top sail came in and -four minutes later
in came her ~spinnaker at 1:53, she
gybed to port and came for the

Rev. Or. Spurgeon.
We deeply want revival Of do
nestle religion. We have been sad
dened at the terrible accounts of the
impurity of this city, but doubtless,
one cause of this state of things is
the neglect Of household religion
among Christians, and the entire alb
sence of common decency in many
of the lodgings of the poor. The
Christian family was the bulwark of
godliness in the days of the Puri-
tans, but in these evil times hun
dreds Of families Of so-called Chris
tians have no family worship, no re-
straint upon growing sons, and no
wholesome instruction or discipline.
See how the families 'ef many pro-
fessors are, as dressy, as gay, as god
less as the children Of the non-relig
iousl How can we hope to see the
kingdom of our Lord advanced when
his own diciples do not teach His
Gospel to their own sons and daugh-
tiers? Have we not need to repeat
the lamentation Of jeremiah? Even
the sea monsters draw out the breast,
they give suck to their young ones ;
the daughter ofmy peoples become
cruel, like the ostriches in the Wild
erness.' How different this from the
father of the faithful. of whom the
Lord said: i know Abraham, that
he will command his children and his
household after him. The surest
way to promote goodness abroad is
to labor for it at home. The short
est method for the overthrow OF
priestcraft is for every man TO be the
priest Of his own house, and to warn
his sons against deceitful men. May
our dear children be so we'll taught
from infancy that they may not only
escape the common vices of the age,
but grow up to become patterns OF
holiness
