Editor j. s. Vaadiver entertained us very
agreeably Sunday afternoon by giving US his lect-
ure, "How Joined the Army Everybody was
prepared to hear something good, and everybody
came away satisfied that they had been given all
that was promised. Van has enough OF the
ups and downs of life; the genuine and the
shoddy, the false and the true, to make him IA
milar with the chord of sentiment which, when
touched makes the whole world kim" The lect-
ure is an exuberantly humorous production
was evidenced by the continuous laughter of the
audience. None appreciated the fine hits made
on army life so fully as did those of number
who had had experience in Uncle Sans military
service. Van speaks from actual experience
therefore speaks well, and makes it very plain
that the regular army is no place for young men
OF spirit and ambition-that is, if promotion and
glory is their quest 1t is the hope of all that he
will favor us again at distant day with another
of his productions. THE MIRROR thanks him
for the whole of the walled-in community.
The sudden disappearance of Fred Douglas
occasioned considerable stir among the officers
Tuesday. 1t was but few minutes after they
had returned from dinner that Douglas
was missed from among his fellow workmen
but within those few minutes he had shaken
the dust of the Minnesota state prison off the
soles of his feet and gone hence to nobody knows
where. He secured coat and vest that had been
left in the old shed the east side of the foundry
by one of the citizen molders, which with a pair
of overalls secured somewhere else, made him a
suit of clothes. He made his exit by crawling
through a seven inch space over the old unused
wall gate at the middle of the east wall 1t was
but few steps from the old shed where he Sc
cured the clothes to where he went out and when
he had once reached the gateway he out of
sight of the wall guard until he dropped out onto
the street where he would not be suspicioned by
anybody seeing him. it is much-traveled thor
oughfare. He took many chances Of being dis
covered in the attempt, for there is nearly always
some one passing by the place on both sides of the
wall at that time of day. He had served about
one year of a fifteen years sentence for the
attempted robbery of Minneapolis bank.

Sunday Services.

Chaplain Albert being absent services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Roe who took as his
text st Luke xvii: II: 49,
"As Christ was on his way to Jerusalem, he met
ten men who stood afar off and cried out, Jesus
Master, have mercy on us. These men were
lepers. isolated from all 9th ers and doomed to a
living death. They had heard of Jesus Of Naza
reth and in their misery they cried out to Him for
help, and Jesus heard their cry. for He is never
deaf to the appeals of the suffering oppressed.
He does not attempt any wonderful method of
healing them but he commands them to show
themselves unto the priests that he might try
their faith. When they were healed nine of the
ten went on their way, but one of them returned
and fell down at the Savior's feet giving Him
thanks. Then Jesus said, Were there not ten
cleansed? but where are the Mines? 1 wonder if
there are more than one out of ten at the present
time that gives thanks to God for his many
cies. This one who came back to thank Christ
was doubly blessed for while all were healed Of
that terrible disease, he was also cleansed from
the leprosy of sin. If you should receive gift
from an earthly friend in sullen silence you could
expect nothing more from him. but if the lips
gave utterance to the grateful emotions of the
heart you again look to that friend for aid in
your hour of need, and would have more hope
for that man, for he is cutivating spirit of
thankfulness that will grow with his growth and
expand in love and kindness to others. How is it
with you my friend do you thank the great Giver
of every good and perfect gift for the many bless
ings He has given you and the many dangers
through which He has safely brought you? You
may think you have nothing to be thankful for,
but you have much, even now. Contrast your lot
with that of prisoners fifty or hundred years
ago. They made miserable as possible
while you are made as comfortable as circum-
stances will permit. You should be thankful for
Gods good providence to men, THAT it is never
too late to mend" and in this broad free land you
may yet make an honorable name: and if in the
midst of suffering and sorrow you have learned to
look to God for guidance you may safely feel that
all is we'll"

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1890.
VICTORY AND THURMAN.

In happy coincidence with the great
Democratic victory was the gathering last
night at Columbus, Ohio, TO do honor 10 tha'
Grand old Democratic war-horse, Allen q.
Thurman. From all parts of the United
States came representative men, VINO are I'D

could rejoice with Cleveland and Thurman
in the triumph Of the people. To man
whose faculties are unimpaired by age, and
whose Democracy is mistaken in spite OF
the attacks it has had 10 Withstand, the
tribute paid him must have been most graf
living. Victory is inspiring to every Demo

may feel that in the voice Of the people is

the mother of States and Of statesmen,
Thurman, following natural instincts, could
not help being Democrat. Educated for
the law, he soon won true success, by perse-
yerance, industry and ability. lie was
elected TO Congress in 1874, and in 1871
Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio, and Tor
two years. until 1856, he was CHEZ Justice.
The rise of Republicanism turned OHIO
into a political jungle for years, but yet
there were few men like Thurman who
kept brightly burning the pure light OF JET
fersonian Democracy. Defeated in 1867 by
HAYES for the goyernorship Of the State,
he was elected TO the United States Senate
in 1869. At that time many OF the senator
were statesmen, and Thurman took his place
among them on equal terms with the lead
ers, and soon all learned to honor and re-
spect him, and to bear tertim0ny TO his worth
as man and as Democrat. when in 1881
his twelve years labOrs came TO an
end in that body. Some of his associates
In the Senate have died, some have become
freaks in the political dime museum, and
some few who remain have had their germs
of craftsmanship destroyed by blind parti-
sanshlp and sectionalism. But Thur
man stands to-day a living monument Of
integrity and honor.
Retirement from the Senate did not retire
him from the view Of the public, and in ISIS
he was one Of the leaders in the contest
which resulted in the peoples being de-
priyed of their victory by the unstinted use
of money and treachery. The year 1890 has
given the lie to claims that two years before
the people had given their verdict. The
year 1892 will demonstrate that the people
will consign to perdition those who depend
ed upon Doodle and treachery. And the
wish of the whole country is that Allen G +.
Thurman may be one OF the sharers in that

eENERALAGENr OF PEABODY FUND


THE TIMES is in receipt OF a copy of the
proceedings OF the Trustees Of the Peabody
Educational Fund at their twenty-ninth
meeting. The general report includes the
report Of the Hon. j. l.. NJ. Curry, OF TINS
city, the General Agent. and also an address
delivered by him on May 10th before the
Legislature Of Louisiana.
In referring to the report Of the general
agent. THE TINES can but echo the senti-
ment expressed by Mr.. Winthrop, the
president Of the Board Of Trustees, in his
opening address, that no one "can examine
it without being impressed with the un-
firing diligence Of its author in the discharge
Of his most responsible and laborious duties
nor without being satisfied and gratited by
the amount and value Of what has been
accomplished by him.
TO this expression Of warm appreciation
Of the practical value Of the general agents
work, tribute may be very justly added TO
that powerful grasp upon all the general
principles relating TO the subject of popular
education, to that weightiness and breadth
If thought and that vigor and felicity OF
expression which makes DR.. Curry's reports
so interesting and instructive, apart from
their special application TO the details Of
his work.
There are few men in the United states
who could bring TO the performance OF the
duties which are imposed on the general
agent OF the Peabody fund as large de-
gree Of philosophical and practical force OF
mind as distinguish the present incumbent
of this most responsible position. The re-
suit has been that the series OF reports
which he has drawn up while filling this
position have value as contributions tc
the discussion Of questions of public edu'
cation which will long survive the date OF
their composition, to which alone the special
facts and figures are applicable.
DR.. CuTy's address before the Legislature
of Louisiana was most able and compre
hensiye expression Of his views ON the gen.
eral subject covered in these reports, and Is
worthy Of the thoughtful perusal Of all
whether specially interested in the subject
| or not.

in the channel.
"Of the plant bought from the Panama
