TIE Ne,O York Lrening Post tells story
OF free advertising in some OF the churches
OF that city that surpasses anything Of that
kind that has ever fallen under our atten-

eminently respectable and conserva-
tive denomination, who had gone
there last Sundy evening TO hear a
preaeher OF renown, expressed amaAement
that the only religious notices given out
during the sacred exercises were Of school
'commencements' to be celebrated in the
church during the week. The Episcopal
churches in general keep themselves from
guile Of such sort, but we had an invitation
to afamous Episcopal church, on Ascension
Day, at "A thanksgiving service to COM

faith, but the anniversary OF private

4 ~PRACTICAL SIDE.

The Denver Republican thinks it pro-
bable that the Democrats in congress will
oppose the admission Of Wyoming and
Idaho unless provision is also made for
the admission Of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA. For this reason it advises the Re-
publicsns to consent to the admission of
the two southern territories since it is
very questionable that New Mexico would
be Democratic"
There is no doubt about it that politics
pure and simple will enter largely into the
, question of the admission of the terrific
ries. From the days when the admission
of one free state was counterbalanced by
the admission Of one slave state. politics
and not fitness have governed each case.
The matter might just as well be looked
upon from a political standpoint now in
stead Of at some future time, when it
will be too late to do any good, 1t be-

was n coil of hose to hang in the hall, to
be used in case of fire. One day they
took it down in order to sprinkle the

infirmary directors were raging. They
took the hose back to the rubber store
and demanded an explanation. The pro-
prietor of the store said that he had sold
it in good faith, supposing it to be a good
article. In order to satisfy himself he
wrote on to the manufacturer, who re-
piled that the hose was simply an orna-
mental article, made to hang up in fac
tories 'to satisfy insurance require
