The only regular religious festivals
we observe are Christmas and EIster
and yet it is only the latter that takes
the form of a purely spin ual celebra-
ton. At Christmas time there is an
acknowledgement of the birth OF the
wonderful Nazerine, but it is merely
The physical birth after all and it Is
only the senses which after ali are APP
pea!ed to. At Easter { me It is diff
ferent, there is more than f..e Plysi-

resurrection, which ali the generations
gone before nave prepared us for.
Christ, having taken on our nature,
rod that way, in virtue of the same
nature we follow, and in celebrating
His resurrection we celebrate the

barricsde was heavily manned and that n
direct assault would prove disastrous, the
deputies divided the force and fanked the

could fire directly into the barricade. At
The signal they opened fire. After ten
minutes firing a cry for quarter went up
from The boomers and the firing ceased. A
hasty advance was made to the fort and
the officers secured thirty prisoners,

advantages which are worthy of con-
sideration, but out Of the whole num-
Der the site offered for 81 at the cor

site mentioned would serve to give. or
al least assist to give business interests
q boom not only in the immediate To-
cality, but in the entire business dis

locality offers no business advantages
would be inconsistent with business
methods and without regard to the

recommend the corner of Lamine and

When the grape rot has preyiousl,

When the grape rot has previously
existed in the vineyards it will be
necessary to begin in the fall with the
use of lime and oopperas solution in
order to destroy the spores. 1t will
require two seasons to become rid of it
in the vineyards, and the solution
should be used both in the fall and
spring by sprinkling it freely around
the vines, as well as spraying it over
them. The solution is a pound of
copperas to four buckets OF very thin
whitewash.

WHOLESOME STIMULANT.
Warm Milk More Enicacious Than Beer or
Other IntcXicants.

Milk heated 20 much above one
hundred degree. Fahrenheit loses for a
time a degree OF its sweetness and
density. No one who, fatigued by
over-exertion OF mind CT body, has
ever experienced the reviving influ-
ence of Il tumblcr OF this beverage,
heated as not a. il can be slipped, will
willingly forego a reso~t 20 il because
of its being rendered somewhat less
acceptable to the palate. The prompt
ness with which It's cordial influence
is felt is indeed surprising. Some por-
ton OF il seems to ne digested and
appropriated almost Immediately, and
many who now fancy they need alco-
holic stimulants when exhausted by
fatigue will find III this simple draught
an equivalent: that will be abundantly
satisfying and far more enduring in
its effects. There Is many an ignor-
ant, oyerwo rhed woman who fancies
she could not keep up without her
beer; she mistakes It's mOmentary ex-
hilaraiion for strength and applies the
whip instead OF nOurishmcnt TO her
poor, exhausted frame. Any honest,
intelligent physician will tell her tina.
there is more real strength and nOur-
ishment in slice OF bread than in a
quart of beer; bat If she loves stimu.
lants il would be very useless piece
of information. IL Is claimed that
some OF the lady clerks in our own
city, and those, too. who are employed
in respectable business houses, are in
the habit OF ordering ale Or beer at
the restaurants. They probably claim
that they are tired and no one who
sees their faithful devotion 10 custom
ers all day will doubt their assertions.
But they should not mistake beer for a
blessing or stimulus for strength. A
careful examination OF statistics prove
that men and women who do not drink
can endure more haI1lships and do
more work and live longer than those
less temperate. ~ ]. Medical Record.

Its Surroundings.
A man looks at the landscape. but
the tree standing in the middle of the
landscape lie does not see until, for the
instant at least, he singles il out as
the object of vision. Two men walk
the same road: Is far as the bystander

crepancy between the two reports
And what is true of any two men is
equally true of any one man at two
different times. To-day he is in a
dreamy, reflective mOOd-he has been
reading Wordsworth. perhaps-and
when he takes his afternoon saunter
he looks at the bushy hillside, or at
the wayside cottage, or down into the
lettering brook. and he sees in them
him before. Or he is in matter-of-
fact mood, kind of stock-market
frame OF mind; and he looks at every
thing through economical spectacles-
as IL he had been set to
appraise the acres of meadow or wood
Land through which he passes. At
another time he may have been read
ing some book or magazine article
written by Mr.. John Burroughs; and
although he knows nothing of birds,
and can scarcely tell crow from a
robin (perhaps for this very reason),
he is certain to have tantaliZing
glimpses OF some very strange and
wonderful feathered specimens. They
must be rarities, at least, if not abso-
lutte novelties; and likely enough, on
getting home. he sits down and writes
to Mr.. Burroughs letter full of graft
tude and inquiry-the gratitude very
pleasant to receive, we may presume,
and the inquiries quite impossible to

Some men (not many it is to be

Furnishing Gods in China.

A funny story illustrative of Celes-
tial simplicity (or superstition?) comes
from FOochow in China There is a
ioss-house or temple in that city. to
which persons of reyengeful DISPOSE
ton are wont to resort when DESTROYS
of obtaining satisfaction for an injury,
the deities there being credited with
the power to cause instant death to
those against whom their aid is in
yoked. After the death of tie late
Tartar General-the cause of which
appears to have been rather mysteri-
ous-the suppositiOn that he had
fallen victim to these particular
iosses was started by some of the ge..-
try. and the Viceroy thereupon gave
instructions for an inquiry to be held
into the matter. The TaOtai was COM
missioned to see the order carried out,
and he went to the temple and arrest
ed fifteen of the jOsses. These idols
are of wood about five feet in height.
Before being taken into the presence
of the Taotai their eyes were put out
in order that they might not see who
was their judge, SO that they might
not be able to identify him in the
realms above or Acknowledgement they
go! After an investigation a report
of the case was sent to the Viceroy,
who at once gave orders that the
losses should be decapitated and then
cast into a pond Yet withal China
claims to be civilized country.-Lon-

II has been suggested as q reason why
General GRrNFELLs victory over the Der
wishes is not TO be followed up by the occu-
patton of Dongola and the consequent
adoption Of the views of the English off,
GERS regarding Berber that the unsettled
condition of affairs upon the European
continent will not admit of the employ
ment of sufficient British force for
that purpose. That would seem to be
a reasonable solution Of the failure
of the British taxpayers to demand
the advance upon Berber and the
contamination of tho logical sequence
of such "a movement-the recapture of
Khartoum and the pacifcation and open
ing up 10 trade of the SOudan. There can
be no question that when the inevitable

the practice OF sending small and

since MKuEMEr ALI hrst undertook the

abandoned, and that when once more an

70 Europeans by IshAEL Pasha there must

that when the Soudan is again seized il
must be seized in an iron grasp and pinned

tish and Egyptian defeat would be to risk
the starting of the flames Of fanaticism all

good editor, bat would be as much out Of

not pose as q martyr, and therefore cannot
be elected by sympathy. Above all,

We were glad the Senate refused to con-
firm HALsTEAD's nomination TO be Minister

other Ohio Republican for United States
senator. II is not because we object TO
his election that we predict his defeat. AS
a senator he cannot hurt the Democrats.
