could go of his own accord 20 the central
office and be rsmanded without for
mality.
After some elaboration, Buttner de-
cided to wave examination and go back.
Hughes informed the court OF the fact
that he had besn beiled out last evening +,

This is truly discoursging. The blood Of
the martyr has always nourished the church
and his last faint, trembling sigh, borne to
heaven amid flame and smoke, has more
than once swelled to a tornado.
But though we cannot eXtinguish Nor

That is much worse than being deluded re-

Democrats they must at least be disfran-
