The following beautiful composition
was captured during the Civil War. in
Charleston, S. c., by q brothor of Mrs.
s. B. Helmer, of Kendallville, Ind. 1t
is printed on very heavy eatip, and is
quite literary curiosity:
Thou to the mercy seat dost gather
To do our duty under Thee OUR FATHER
To whom all praise, all honor should be given
For thou art the great God WHO ART IN HEAVEN
Thou. by thy wisdom, rulst the worlds whole
frame,
Forever, therefore. HALLowED BE THY NAME;
Let never more delays divide us from
Thy glorious grace, but let THY KINGDOM CONE;
Let thy commands opposed be by none,
But thy good pleasure and THY WILL BE DONE;
And let our promptness to obey be even
The very same ON EARTH AS 1T is IN HEAVEN
Then. for our souls. o Lord, we also pray
Thou would'st be pleased to GIVE US THIS DAY
The food of life wherewith our souls are fed.
Sufficient raiment and OUR DAILY BREAD
With every needful thing do thou relieve us
And of thy mercy pity AND FORGIVE Us
All our misdeeds for him whom thou did'st
please
To make our offering for OUR TREsPAssEs,
And for as much. o Lord, as we believe
That thou witt pardon us, AS WE FORGIVE
Let that love teach wherewi,h thou dost ac-
quaint us
To pardon all THOSE WHO TREsPAsS AGAINST Us
And though sometimes thou find'st we have
forgot
This love to thee yet help AND LEAD US NOT
Though soul or body's want to desperation
Nor let earths gain drive us INTO TEMPTATION
Let not the soul Of any true believer
Fear in the time of trial BUT DELIVER
Yea. save them from the malice of the devil
And both in life and death keep Us FROM EVIL
Thus pray we. Lord for that of thee from whom
This may be had For THINE rs THE KINGDOM.
This world is of thy work-its wond'rous story
To thee belongs THE POWER AND GLORY.
And all thy wond'rous works have ended never
But will remain forever and FOREVER
Thus we poor creatures would confess again,
And thus would say eternally. AMEN.

NOT FOR a MONTH,
Argument for u New Trial for
Lingo Postponed.

Supreme Court Justice Garrison has
announced that he does not expect to
take up the Lingo case on the motion
for new triai until the last Saturday
ia April the 25th. He gives as reason
for this that he will sit as a reviewing
court, which has separate and distinct
func,ions from judge sitting with
jury. In the latter case, the Judge
sits to control the evidence, but as p
a reviewing court, he sits to lay down
the law. 1t is the presumption, then,
that he proposes taking the entire
month to have every opportunity to
fAniiiarize himself thoroughly with
the main points in the case es viewed
from a strictly legal standpoint This
will enable the court to arrive at a
speedy conclusion after the case is pre-
sented.
Speculation as to the position the
members OF the court now occupy
toward the application runs high. but
nothing definite can be ascertained.
uSDO"6li 10 uAocISGOOO w udNe
openly declared himself in Lingo's
favor, but where the other Judges
stand is matter of pure conjecture.
Judge Garrison is reported to have
said some time ago that no man would
ever hang in his court unless the evil
dence was sufficient to prove bis guilt
beyond all reasoua BILE doubt. This the
defendants friends have appropriated
to themselves and cling to with tena-
city.
Should the defense learu. by any
mears, in advance of the hearing, that
o majority of the members ofthe court
was unalterably opposed to the new
trial or that the court was evenly di-
vided the same action could be taken
as that taken in the Vandegrift case in
Mount Holly, where the application
was certioraried to the Supreme Court.
| There are some of the opinion that
this is the cause Of delay, basing it, OF
course, upon the assumption that the
delay is because of the defense's mac
ton.

A SUSPICIOUS E'EA y.
The Pr prietOr's Eye UpOu the
OfitcSeS.

In the Second ward there is htti.
sore, where presume bly, there Is good
business done, aud from Ii casual ance
q passer by would not be impressed
with anything wrong about the p ace.
A day or two since en- e&pre- mao
backed up his wagon in front Of the
house, and unloaded barrel of cider
there. A gentleman standing near by
said that it was the ninth barrel of
cider received there in two weeks.
Complaints have been made about
the house, and police officers have had
an eye upon it for some time. 1t is
charged that cider is sold there by the
glass, and some people think that the
stuff is intoxicating. Be that as it may
there are at times lively scenes about
the premises.
The other night an officer went down
opposite the place. AS he got under
the glare of an electric light opposite
the house, he noticed woman looking
suspiciously from one of the windows.
A moment later a man appeared at
the window, and both watched the
movements of the guardian of the
peace. Afew moments later the man
and woman hurriedly lefo the house
as if a raid was momentarily expected.
Hardly had the couple left, before
the proprietor came out and in nerv-
GUS, jerky fashion told the officer he
was glad the policemen were looking
after his place, as he wanted every.
thing around there to be straight. He
then pulled from his pockettwo dollars
and endeavored to persuade the officer
to take it, evidently with the idea of
having prying eyes closed, but the po-
liceman was not built that way and
refused TO accept. It would not be
surprising if this particular place fur
nished case in court, unless matters
are conducted mrci; more quietly and
orderly.

doctors absence in the South. They
retired in apparently good health.
This morning Mr.. Dubois was sur.
prised on getting up, to find Mr..
Stanger in a chair, dead. Aid was
summoned at once. The cause of
death was found to be heart failure.

home in this city. He was go years

A Sunday Row.

Sunday afternoon, about four
o'clock, a racket started in house on
MT. Vernon street, where an Easter
party had gathered to enjoy festivities
inappropriate to the occasion. From
reports of those living in the neigh
oornood there was too much egg.nog
ana egg Hips indulged in. When the
quarrel assumed such large propor-
tions' that the protracted Quarters of
the house could not hold t. the marty
adjourned to the street, where the
crowd WAS soon increased bv the
gathering of interested friends ond
spectators. 1t is said that womon
were just as much interested in tho
racket a. others.
From all that can be learned tho =,
fair was most disgraceful one and
the police should leave no stone nm
turned to find out the names of tbs
participants, and cause their arrest
"A very severe punishment should ho
meted out to those engaged in these
Sunday brawls.

Obituary.

Rev. Howard Crosby, D D. L. L.
D., Chancellor Of the University of
New York, died Sunday in that city
of pneum monia, aged 73 years. In his
death a notable figure of the time has
passed away. DR.. Croshy's reputation
was not merely local. He had taken
SO large and strenuous part in affairs
that his name was familiar in many
cities and many states. Into every work
which he undertook he threw all the
energies of a singularly earnest and
resolute nature. The New York Tribune
truly says, "He did more than any
other single man in this generation to
check vice in its most offensive forms
l n New York City, to restrain the au-
dacity of the dram shop, and toroot out
the dives and evil resorts of the town. *
DIR. Crosby was a great influence, not
only in the Presbyterian Church, not
only in the cause of the higher educa-
tlon, not ooly in the mission labors,
but in every good word and work of
his day and generation" The Phila-
delphia Press also aptly remarks: I'm
his long struggle for the past fourteen
years with the evil of the indiscrimi-
nate sale of liquor, he achieved
results which would have been utterly
impossible with man less disposed to
see things as they were, and in all
things to take what he could get in.
stead OF refusing to take anything un-
less he could get all he wanted. The
practical result is that DR.. Crosby ac-
complished much in restricting traf-
NC, which he plainly saw could not be
prohibited. So long as the Church
and the Nation produces such men,
progress is certain, and the futute of
Christian civilization is secure" P.

ACCORDING to the New York
Times, ex-Postmas err General Don
M. Dickinson says that Mr.. German
told him that nine-tenths of the
democrats of Maryland favor the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland. That
the representatives of these people
voted for Mr.. Crisp satisfies Mr..
Dickinson that the e.eotion of Mr..
Crisp is not an antl-Cleveland
achievement. This Is very true.
There are no more ardent tariff re-
formers and advocate, of Cleve--
lands nomination in the whole
country than some of the Maryland
Representative who voted for Crisp.
Senator Giorman's estimate of the
preponderance of the Cleveland sen
timent in Maryland is certainly not
too high. A Baltimore correspon-
dent of the Times says: maryland
democrats have several factions and
radical differences and great many
time-worn jealouses, and they have
considerable fun with one another
In conventions and campaigns, but
in just one respect there seems to
be harmony of sentiment and opin-
ion, which is the plain necessity of
the nomination of Grover Cleveland
on q tariff-reform platform. i"

department of Agriculture

Secretary Rusk has issued live.
ly report from his Department. Ac-
cording to his statement meat
products are Is per cent. higher
than one year ago, and with good
prices for increased yields OF cereals
the agricultural productions Of 1891
are 800, 900, 900 greater than last
year. This cheerful statement is
the first in the third annual report
of. Nj. Rusk, secretary of the Uni
ted States department of agricul-
ture. lie emphasizes the great in
crease in our agricultural exports,
and admits larger import OF. pro-
duce-mainly sugar, fibers, ETC.,
that do not compete with our home
grown stuff. The weather bureau
has greatly increased its staff and
its efficiency under the department
of agriculture, but Secretary Rusk
fails to show that with free delivery
and the postal telegraph the wealth
or reports could be made useful to
the great mass OF farmers who now
get no good out of them. Uncle
Jerry is level headed in pointing
out that within twenty years our
population will exceed 100 millions,
OF whom 40 per cent will be direct
ly dependent upon agriculture; and
hence that this department of the
federal government should be SO
equipped and endowed that it can
do the larger work before it. lie
wan an outfit that will enable the
department to acquire all known
facts about culture Of the soil and
disposal of crops, and transmit
the same to the people. The score
tary OF agriculture also desires the
"fullest powers necessary for the
supervision and control of all inter-
state or foreign commerce in agri-
cultural products and of fraudulent
and other substitutes therefor, for
the investigation of all animal dis
eases, and for the control OF the
movement of all animals which may
be affected by communicable dis
eases, and even within certain
limits for an adequate supervision
OF the.trade in agricultural products
in all foreign markets. Uncle
Jerry has done well. He stauds up
for the working farmer every time.
lie Tugs politics into his work quit
more than Is necessary, but his mo-
tives are recognized as the best, even
by his political opponents. Yet the
depai tment doesn't do half what
it might, and must and shall.

Shortly after midnight Dr. Arthur e.
Jones, n graduate of Jefferson Medical
College, killed himself at his apart.
mentS In the Providence section of the
city. He fired three bullets from a re-
volyer, one into his head and two in
his laft breast.
lha reason given is that tho reports
six weeks ago that he caused the death
of his wife, formerly Miss Hatch of
Dover. Del, by ill-treatment, weighed
so upon him that in Il moment of re-
morse lie took his own life.
Neighbors OF the man say that he
was continually talking about the
Injury these reports had done him. and
that he became moody and silent as
the days went by, refusing the com
partnership of his friends and vowing
that the end for himself was not far
away.
The body of his wife was removed by
friends to Wilmington, Del, for burial,
the doctor absentlng himself from the
funeral This added to remarks OF the
mans enemies, and he said It wasn't
worth while living il mun had to he
