GO TO CHURCH.

AS tomorrow Is Sunday and as half
dozen preachers will uncork their
bottles of eloquence in their pull
pits and pour it out, copiously,
all the saints, male and female, all
the sinners, audall the Pharisees,
ahould attend church, and endeavor
to increase their stock of charity and
their love for their neighbor. Thesetwo
things are hardly quotable in themar-
ket, through the demand for them is
very great and very clamarous, in
all the wards of San Antonio, and
in all the hooks and corners of all
the wards. Practical, every day reli-
gion, which finds its chief enjoyment
in the "luxruyof doing good" and of
acting the part of the "good Samari-
TAM" is what Sunday christians most
require and seldom learn. Heaven
help them, to pick up little of it to-
morrow, at church or anywhere, so
they get it.

FULLY a month ago, the LIGHT ex-
pressed the opinion, that Germany
was in imminent peril from the abro-
cation of the restrictions imposed
upon the Socialists by Bismarck, as
they would redouble their insane eff
forts to propagate their insane doc
trines. Agitation is the very breath
in their nostrils. Every speech and
pamphlet in advocacy of their doc
trines is, in effect, an attack upon the
government, indeed, upon any aud
all systems of government. They are
anarchists in disguise. Well, the
latest kilograms from Germany bring
confirmation of the entire truth of
our forecast of events in Germany.
The Socialists are pushing the propa-
cation of their doctrines, with re-
doubled zeal and activity. and are as
sailing the system of militaryism in
vogue, and especially, the conscrip-
tion for filling up the army.
In all nations, at all advances in
civilization, CONSUMPTION laws, when
rigidly enforced, aud when a large
number of recruits for the army is
needed, have proved exceedingly UNI
popular and have worn an appearance
of oppression. They invade almost
every household, neighborhood, ham
let, town and city, in a nation, and
thus diffuse discomfort throughout
country. 1t is not pleasant thing to
see a young man suddenly torn and
wrenched from his farm, his shop. or
workbench, and his relations and
friends, and marched off to be put into
the army: and such sight sets peo-
pie to thinking upon the necessi ty
that exists. for keeping on foot such
immense armies, in time of peace and
of the propristy of recruiting them
by CONSUMPTION. All such refectio ms
end in condemnation of militaryism
and CONSUMPTION, and in an
tagonism to the govern ment that
has to be supported by such means.

A certain female woman, no longer basking
in single blessedness because upon a certain
occasion she had been married to q man, once
upon time called upon a certain unsophis-
ticated and uninitiated pawnbrOker and rep
resented that her finances were at an exceed

pired they did not ebb at all, and represented
TO her uncle that of the whole family 1t was
plain to be seen that notwithstandi the
many drawbacks and other incidents con-
nected with her financial condition
prior to the period at which she had
first entered the domain occupied
and then held as her rightful and lawful in
heritance under the wise and useful home
stead law of Texas, she had on many and
numerous occas one endeavored TO have a
change made in the pompous ponderosity of
the mayor, and failing in this she clearly
showed the court that the man who had
sworn out the affidavit (her husband had &C.
customed himself to practice pestiverous pro-
family and bombast. and had on other occa-
sions shown a real lack of spiritualized ideal
ity to the extent of going to bed without re-
moving his boots and spurs, against which
the petitioner has sued out warrant for de-
famation OF character and was now
consulting Uncle Emerson with a
view to raise money wherewith to
forestall the District Attorney and
such other officers of the court as might be in
league with the unfair and hard-hearted de-
PENDANT. She then bought a fine pair of soil
Waterbury clock from Uncle Jess, and after
ward second-h hand sewing machine and left
for home. fully determined that in future
whenever she got into tight place she would
go straight to Uncle Jesse for advice and

explaining the causes of the result of

windbags of the democratic party aud
and shows it was not victory of the
democracy over republicanism, in
stand up fight. AS Senator Gorham

the straitest sect" and the shrewdest
politician of his party, his opinion
cannot be suspected of being warped
by any leaning to the republican
party. He has not missed the truth
very much, and we recommend demo-

THE election for speaker of the
fifty-second congress is likely to re
mind spectators, OF a sight often wit
nessed-of a parcel of ours fighting
over chance bone. The candidates
will be numerous, and the scuffls and
scramble will be piquant and lively
in the extreme. Each candidate will
have his bunch of friends, and the
war will be carried on with red hot
shot. 1t will be family row, and
family rows are proverbially bitter
and savage all the world over. 1t
will be altogether fight among pig
mics, since there is not among the
legion of candidates single man OF

rise above dead level of mediocrity,
