here something fixed and enduring
against which zthe waves Of this
troublesome worldr may beat in vain,
and which makes no substantial con-
cessions to the iconoclastic spirit Of the
age, shows little Difference to the feet
ing phases of public opinion, and can
not be oyerthrown or compromised in
the face even Of determined suspicion
and gusts Of popular passion. Storms
arise and rage and subside, but the
Church remains unshaken.
The Prayer Book has been to the
world the symbol of this grand stead
fastness. It has been felt that it is no
mere book Of devotional forms such as
devout and scholarly men, or religious
organizations may at any time compose
for themselves, but that 1t furnishes
the outward and visible clothing Of
life which man has not created. 1t Is
the outgrowth Of centuries, during
which the essential spirit has always
been the same. II Is the living voice
Of q Church filed with living power
speaking out of the abundance Of her
heart. 1t is this, no accidental charac-
teristic, but the external sign Of an es-
sential nature which more than every
thing else has constituted the charm
which draws the Christian world to
the Prayer Book with an irresistible
fascination. And here lies one Of tho
greatest sources OF the Church's
strength. Let us beware Of frittering
away by a prolonged course Of discus
sion and alteration this immense ad-
vantage. Let us not for any faucied
improvements here and there, spread
abroad the conviction that, after all.
the conservatism Of the Church has
been but temporary phase, and by
seeming to hold cheap the precious
legacy which has como to US from our
forefathers, cheaper II also In the eyes
of the world.
Upon such considerations. then, the
undersigned venture, with much diff
dence, to disagree with the learned and
able men, reverend fathers and breth'
rcn, who have presented the majority
report of this committe, and to recon
mend the adoption Of the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the revision of thu
Prayer Book be brought to an end a
the present session of the General Con
vention of 1886 as may seem best.

Especial 10 l1mes-DemOcrhtl
Yazoo City, Miss, Oct. 26.-One ofthc
most enthusiastic and representative
meetings of citizens ever held here oc
Cured Thursday at the City Hail. The
occasion was conference between the
Georgia Pacific officials, represented
by Vice President johnson aud Chief
Engineer Sage, and the citizens Of this
growing young city.
Col. johnson Of the Georgia Pacific,
paid Yazoo City q glowing compli-
ment, and predicted her onward march
to the front. He stated that II was pos
sible his system ofroads might send out
branch from the main line from John
sonville or Ittabens, extending down
the delta to this point, and In the
event of such q determination he
wanted TO know to what extent his
road might look for encouragement, If
not material recognition, from the peo-
pie of Yazoo City.
As a result of the conference q CON-
mittes of leading citizens were appoin-
ted, who recommend q $4,000 sub
scription to the road, as well as their
influence and good Offices in securing
the right Of way through Yazoo coun.
ty into Yazoo City.
President johnson stated that II his
system decided to build this branch
they would have 1t completed In time
10 handle the crop Of 1890. The town
| is certainly In earnest in encouraging
every enterprise that leads TO an In.
crease in trade, manufactures and pop
ulation.
There Is another, or rather two
other routes 10 Yazoo City, each o
which has strong advocates. On
would be an extension Of the narrow
gauge line from Hollandale dow
Murphy's Bayou; the other woul'
leave the main line at tho Bogue am

GREAT BOND STEAL.
IN. O. Picayuuel

The report of the Grand Jury pre-
sented yesterday aud published in full
in this issue gives q very complete
summary of the fraudulent and illegal
bonds embraced in what Is now known
as the "Great Bond Steal.s In prepar-
ing this summary the Grand Jury evil
IDENTIFY had at its disposal and among
its membership accountants and ex-
perts Of uncommon ability, al the de-
tailed summaries attached to the re-
port are wonderfully comprehensive
and satisfactory, placing the amount of
the robbery before the public in an in
telligible and complete form.
AS far as the report shows the ex-
tent Of the robbery 1t contains nothing
essentially new or different from what
has been made public from time to
time in our columns, but II proves that
large number of the invalid bonds
have been traced to their present hold
ers, as much as $265,000 of the whole
SS7S,600 of outstanding fraudulent
bonds being discovered in the hands
of residents of this city alone.
The report shows that the robbery
amounted in all to S757, 900, irrespec-
tive of the amount the State has paid
in interest. but after deducting the
amount of constitutional bonds found
in Major Burke's private bank box, the
value OF illegal bonds actually out
standing aggregate $s7S,600.
This amount Is made up as follows

or the constitutional bonds illegally
outstanding $64 900 haye been traced
to their present holders, and have been
sequestcred by the State. Ofthe other
bonds $20i 900 have been discovered
in circulation here. which leaves 5000
constitutional bonds aud $102,600 9th
er bonds in tho hands Of unknown
parties.
The Grand Jury has discovered tha
as much as $4,000 of the Illegal con
solidated bonds were In circulation
before January, 1888, while some wer'
known to have been circulated as fal
back as 1885.
Some Of the college bonds wer
used as collateral to secure privat
loans as far back as March, 1882.
j In the case of the illegal constitu
tional bonds, the Grand Jury discov
cred that the numbers OF the consol
dated bonds purporting to have bee
exchanged for these bonds were dupl
Gated partly from bonds prcyiousl
exchanged and actually destroyed
partly from bonds exchanged and nc
destroyed, and partly from bonds ne,
er presented for exchange at all. In
number of cases the same number
were duplicated IN tho illegal bond
: and In one instance Implicated.

whole case than has been made by III

report cannot fail to furnish a cloi

The above extract from tho N. Y.
Ledger contains words of wisdom and
true guide to success In worldly pur-
suits. II Is noble for young man to
be ambitious, energetic, determined,
self-reliant, and self-sustaining. Above
and beyond these noble qualities, to
develop a perfect manhood, material
and spiritual, there must be the guild
ance and control Of pure and simple
Christianity. No means yet devised
by men with hope of Divine aid and
strength has achieved SO much success
and usefulness as the Young Mems
Christian Association. These, COM
posed of members of the various Evan
gelical churches, worship together
around a common altar, profess aud
practice common faith, aud acknowl.
edge common Savior. Each member
meets daily some other in their walks
and places Of business aud these re
act upon each other, the strong EN-
couraging and sustaining the weak
and all, In Christian fellowship ant
brotherly love, working for the Master
The diamond, broken into q hun
dred pieces, makes of each one per
feet gem; SO each member carries
with him daily the strength, the beaut.
of the whole, which he can dim o.
render more brilliant.
What a wonderful progress thI
Association has made In less than thre,
decades. 1t has spread over this coun
try, Canada and Europe, in India
Japan and Australia. IL appeals t.
young men by the voice of its purpose
usefulness, restraining influence, an'
Christian fellowship. -

"Whilo holding fast to those matters Of
principle which require us 10 be n separate

about l2l per cent, and not over that

will be frightened by the coal they had

be affected.
"The Lehigh Valley" Mr.. Henry nd
dcd, has given up all idea Of securing Its
own terminal facilities in Chicago for two
years at least. Last season We did consd-
erablo figuring for site on the Lake front,
but there were obstacles We could not

Of going there. In hard times think we
are better of without the heavy expense
Of our own houses. This item cuts into

do better by getting the work done for us,

The battery and other articles OF value OF
the German cruiser Adler were taken
ashore some time ago. The rudder for the
Nipsic, which Admiral Kimberly had
made under his own personal supervision,
has been completed and placed in position,
and it is probable that tho Nipsc will start

here. The British man.of.war Rapid,
which left here ten days ago, returned on
the 25th. Her captain reported upon his
return that he had been to Suwarrow, u

and that ut the lattcr's request tho Rapid
had gone there and raised the British flag
and formally annexed the island us part
OF the British possessions.
