Judge Humphrey on Those Letters to
the Bridge Burner.


the Bridge Burner.
To the Editor Of THE REFLECTOR.
JUNCTION CITY, Oct. 2S.-HavinI
been Informed that Judge Nicholson
has, without my consent, exhibited tt
others and proposes at the last oppor
tunity before the election to publish
certain private letters written by me tC
him, with view to show that 1 gave
him my support for the peoples party
nomination, beg the privilege of
saying word of explanation.
In the first place iC should be remark
ed that it is usually considered neees-
sary to observe the formality of asking
the writer's consent before publishing
private correspondence, but that for
mality has been overlooked in this
| instance.
1t is fact which 1 never attempted
to conceal but have repeated to numer-
Gus persons, that before Judge Nichol-
son Joined the peoples party and before
it came to my knowledge that he had
done so, and while he still professed to
be democrat, among those who were
seeking the judicial nomination at the
hands of that party, expressed my
preference for the nomination of
Judge Nicholson, both in writing to
him and orally to several others.
While this did not bind me to support
him in case of his nomination, yet if
the circumstances affecting Judge
Nicholson had remained unchanged,
the fact that he received the nomina-
tiOn would not of itself have furnished
a conclusive reason for not supporting
him afterwards. 1t would then Lave
been in O. sense nOn-partisan, that is,
the nomination by one party of a man
from different party, But when he
afterwards joined himself to that party
and burned his bridges behind him
amid circumstances of conspicuous
insincerity, for his utter lack of faith
in the principles of that party was
well known, felt, as did many others,
that was absOlved by bis own act
from any obligation, whether expressed
or implied, to lend him any further
support. 1t is permitted to a citizen |
to desire and promote the nomination |
of any particular peFson by the opposite |
party without being committed to the
support of the nominee.
| did not advise Judge Ni9holsoa to
join that party-quite the contrary,
If, as am informed he has stated the
fact to be, that he joined it upon my
advice and not upon convi"i;c~,os az he I
r.Sfessed to do, this is a confession of
insincerity and an imposition upon the
eonnding faith OF the people of that
party in the honesty of his purposes.

Broughton Bros Extensive Selee-

Some people have an idea that they
get finer goods away from home than
in their own town, There is no need
of any one il central Kansas thinking
this regarding pianos. Broughton
Brothers, Abilene's prominent dealers
in musical instruments, are able to
convince anyone that they cannot be
surpassed in prices or quality by any
outside house. No better selection can
be found at Kansas City or Topeka Of
the leading makes OF fine pianos than
Broughton Bros. carry. All the lead
ing makes such as Kimball, Ivers s.
Pond, Hallet & Davis, Knabe, and
others are handled and the prices and
terms are favorable,as you could obtain
if you we're near a large city. They are
far better than you can make with
firms so or 100 miles distant and it
will pay every intending purchaser to
call and see what advantageous terms
can be made. If you are thinking Of
buying a musical instrument of any
kind don't fail to see Broughton Bros.
as they will save you money and time
besides guaranteeing the quality of
your purchase,

Luminous East Indian Plants.

Upwards of sixty species of East
Indian plants, mostly of the fern
family, with a gOodly sprinkling of
grasses and creeping vines, are lumi-
nous, and it is said that the sides OF
the mountains in the vicinity Of Syree
are nightly illuminated by the pale,
white light which they emit. The
root stock of a plant from the CORA
ghum jungle, near Layki supposed
to be an orchid, possesses the pecu-
liar properties of becoming luminous
when wetted, while, when dry, it is
quite lustreless. One jointed plant
supposed to be member of the rush
or cane family, emits a fiery red light
from its leaves, a pale white one from
its stalk, while its flowers give out
capricious flashes, like that of ouI
"lightning bugs"

One Of our city pastors took his
family to farmhouse in the coun-
try that they might have the fresh
air while he went with some of his
friends to the Adirondacks. AS he
was leaving his little boy three years
old followed him out of the gate for
the last kiss. "Now Johnny" said
the father, "yOu must take care OF
mamma while l am gone" "All
right" he replied, as he scampered
away over the lawn to join the chill
dren at play. That evening little
Johnny, after he had said his regular
prayer, "Now l lay me down to
Sleep" continued: Lord, bless grand
mamma, and take care of her; bless

Fate of the "Ark of the Covenant.

1t will probably never be known
what became of the AK of the Cow
enant at the time of the destruction
and plumber of the Temple. Even
conjectures concerning it are alto
gether useless. Some say that it was
taken away and destroyed by
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Jews believe
that it was miraculously concealed
from the spoiler, and account it
smong the hidden things which the
Messiah is to reveal. 1t is admitted,
however, from an examination Of all
the Jewish writers, that the old Ark
was in the second temple, and there
is no evidence on record to show that
new one was made. 1t is generally
understood that the absence of the
Ark was one of the important partic-
ulars in which the second temple was
regarded as inferior to that of Solo
mon. Josephus states that "the
most holy place" was vacant in the
second temple; certain rabbinical
writers assert that its place was SIM
ply marked by stone. The fact
that Ezra, Nehemiah and the Macca-
bees frequently mention the other sa.
cred utensils, but never refer to the
Ark, seems to be. an acknowledg.
ment on their part that they knew
nothing of the great memorial of the
covenant.

A Railroad Bauasted With Salt.

There is vast bed of pure rock
salt in the Colorado Desert, and the
Southern Pacific Railway, in laying
their tracks to the salt mines, crossed
a point where, for over 5000 feet,
they were obliged to make fill and
ballast the track with beautiful Jumps
of pure salt crystals. This is perhaps
the first instance in the history OF
railroading where a track has been
laid in and ballasted with salt. Mil
lions of grasshoppers and legions OF
giant centipedes fell into this salt
when it was in a liquid state and
now, after having reposed there fol
thousands of years, they are found
perfectly preserved.

unto faith and living.
From these Holy Scriptures the
ancient church of Christ drew its
Confession; and we holding the faith
once delivered to the saints, join in
that Confession with praise and
thanksgiving:
/ believe in God the Father AL
mighty, Maker of Heaven and
Earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son
Our Lord; who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born ofthe Virgin Mary;
suffered under Pontius Plate, was
crucified, dead and buried: He des-
cended into Hades; the third day he
rose from the dead; He assembled in
to Heaven, and stitch at the right
hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge
the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the
Holy Catholic Church, the commu-
MON of saints; the forgiveness Of
sins; the resurrection Of the body; and
the life everlasting. AMEN.

The Ministry.

Rev. Phillips Brooks, of Boston,
has a fine passage in one of his recent
sermons on the Christian ministry,
which might with advantage be COM
mended to the attention of those who
assume sacredotal power:-
Ruler. or servant, which shall it
be? Strange how the greatest of
them all at the beginning took pains
to claim the place in which he and
his brethren should stand. "Not for
that we should have dominion over
your faith" cried Paul, "but we
are partakers of your JOY" Another,
again in those great words, 1--WE
preach, ourselves your servants for Je-
sus' sake" Strange that with words
like these, written in the very fore.
front of its history, the Church should
have so loved the other notion of the
rulership Of the clergy, and the do
minion Of the priest; and that hier
arches, splendid with pomp, or sub.
tie with intrigue, but always hard
with tyranny, should have so filled
the story of the Christian ages.
