THE CITY MI5BIO&.
The Annual Meeting OF tho socioty-Tho
Ofncsrs All Re Elected.


Onicers All Re Elected.
The annual meeting Of the City Mis-
sion was held yesterday afternoon at
the building OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. There were twenty-six
ladies present, and in the absence OF the
president the meeting was presided over
by Mrs George w. Bagby, fourth vice
president.
The meeting was opened with prayer,
as usual, and the report OF the treasurer
was accepted but the ladies were shocked
to learn that there was not cent in the
treasury.
All the officers were then reelected by
q rising vote, as follows: Mrs. A. 7.
Stokes, president; Mrs. William II. Pleas
ants, honorary vice-president; Mrs. Thos.
]. Evans first vice-president; Mrs. Horne,
second yice-president; Mrs. J. b. Pace,
third vice-president Mrs. George w. Bag
by. fourth vice-president; Mrs. John II.
Claiborne, treasurer; Mrs. Dr. Edward
Robinson, assistant treasurer; Mrs. Jonn
Addison, secretary; Mrs. Raleigh Colston
and Mrs. Flora Martin. purchasing agents;
Miss Betty Ellyson and Mrs. Lyneham,
coal committee.
Mrs. William II. Peasants. honorary
vice-president, made an interesting adj
dress, giving a short history OF the or
ganization, which was established IN
1877. when five ladies met in the pariors
of Mrs. Elizabeth Patton, one OF the
most excellent Of ladies. who has since
gone to Heavenly rest. A soup Kitchen
was established in small room under
the Exchange Hotel. The first contr1bu-
ton was made by Mr.. Lawrence Lottier,
who has also since died. Mr.. Lottler'
who gave s., promised to renew his con-
tribution when needed.
From that nucleus the society origl-
mated, which persevered in It's work In
spite of the lack Of encouragement from
the citizens at large Mrs. peasants
urged the ladies to continue In their good
work. A letter was read from Mr.. Moses
Millhiser, enclosing a check or go Tor the
work OF the Mission, this being the nrst
contribution made during the new nscal
year Among the large and steady CON
tributors are some Of the prominent he
brew residents OF this city.
The membership IN the organization Is
only twenty-five cents per month, Win
an additional entrance fee OF twenty-five
cents The expense is very small one,
and ought TO enable a large number OF
ladies in the city TO join the society. The
object is a very good one. and the mum
Der OF poor people who have TO be looked
after is quite large. The funds or the
treasury are exhaused, and IL Is hoped
that contributions will be sent In prompt
w I'm order that the work may be carried
on without delay.

For Congress-Third District,
GEORGE ID. WISE.


We again, in this connection, urge upon
every Democrat in the district to turn
out and vote for Wise. The Democratic
majority in this district is not large
enough to spare single vote. In 1880 it
was only 1880, and unless every single
white voter does his duty to-day this
majority may be considerably reduced,
as the negroes have registered In much
larger numbers this year than usual In
Jackson ward. and they and every Repub-
hcan and Third party voter in the city
will vote for Grant.
Scan your tickets carefully. therefore.
that you may not be taken In by the
Radical-Third party combination, and let
every Democrat see that his vote is de-
posted and counted.

In choosing the chief executive officer
Of their Government for the next four
years. the people of the United States per-
form to-day the most important duty, and
exercise the highest right which pertains
60 their character If citizens. Eliminate
the element OF money, and there can be
40 question Of who would be elected. We
believe 1t would be safe to say Mr.. Cleve-
land would receive 125 votes for every 100
east for Mr.. Harrison. How many votes
will be bought in a venal population by
a party having unlimited amounts Of
money,~no man can say. Our danger and
the danger TO free government In the
future, lies at that point. If the tariff
monopOlists succeed in debauching enough
voters to carry this election, as they car
ried Indiana in 1883, our free institutions
will have received a shock, from which
1t will be difficult indeed, for them TO
recover. But We have an abiding faith
an the people. II the corruptors OF cleo
lions prevail this time, we believe there
VIII be rally against them that will
sweep them from the face OF the earth
-four years hence.

was at first attached to them. 1t was
supposed at one time that a mere pre-
JUDGE against Romanism, the new Lord
Mayor being a member OF the Roman
Catholic Church, was at the bottom OF
the general refusal TO be present on the
part OF the Cabinet. This sounded ex-
tremey improbable in connection with
the greatest Of the English Liberals
men like Gladstone, Morley and Rose
berry being superior to such petty feel
Ing, and 1t now turns out that the secret
OF the Cabinets action lies In their un-
willingness to disclose anything as to the

many generations IL has been the custom
OF Government ministers In attending the
Lord Mayors banquet to refer to the

SCAN YOUR TICKETS AND VOTE

True to their impulse to practice de-
ception, the Republicans and Third
partyites have gotten out bogus Demo
cratic ticket in the hope Of ensnaring
some unwary or careless Democrat. They
as we stated they intended doing
have gotten hold of the regular Demo-
cratic ticket. which is handsomely
electrotyped, and made a rough imita-
ton OF 1t, printing the names Of Cleve-
land and Stevenson and OF the Democratic
electors on 1t. but substituting for Hon.
George ID. Wise the name Of Walter T..
Grant. and OF these $4,000 have been dis
tributed Besides this the Fusionists have
out a Democratic ticket with Grants
name on 1t. but with the or" left from
the name Of Mr. w. A. Little, Jr., in the
First district. and the name Of Mr.. Robert
r. Prentis, of the Second district. APP

The election to-day will be the most
momentous one held in the country since
that of 1860. Then the great question at
issue was whether we should have peace or
war. and now the great point to be set
tied is whether or not popular sovereign
ity shall be swept away by plutocracy
of protected manufacturers. In the de-
cIslon OF the question every man In the

painted in red, white, blue and other
simple colors, with figures of birds and
animals and Il sort of hieroglyphics
There is no reason to believe that n
people who wrought stone and CLAW
with such facility and skill into perfect
images of animals should not have left
sculptures of their own faces in the
images taken from mounds and graves.
1t was evidently n favorite pastime of
these primitive artists to reproduce the
human figure as well as the figures of
birds and animals, and as in the latter
they copied the creatures about them,
in the production of the former there is
equal reason to believe they copied
their fellows, so that we have before us
in their sculptures fair representations
OF the physiognomies of the ancient
Americans The perfection of their
animal representations furnish us as
surance that their sculptures of the
human face were equally true to nature.
These evidences of the genius and art
OF the prehistoric Americans are GER
tainly sufficient to prove that they be-
longed to Il different and far superior
civilization to that of the Indians. The
Indians have been found inhabiting
some of the ruins and using the utensils
and implements of these people, and
have appropriated some of their GUS
toms, but they never could have created
that civilization-they do not seem
even to have comprehended it, at least
have not profited by it--and they must
have found it here in the height of its
perfection, ready for any who could and
would use it.

Will be the display of those relics which

OF u considerable and thoroughly dis
tlnctlve art culture, which they con-
verified both to utility and ornament.
Throughout the valleys of the NIissis-
slppi, the Ohio and the Missouri and
their afllucnts relics of art have been
dug from the mounds and graves. There
are ornaments and implements of ivory,
copper, silver, obsidian, porphyry and
greensboro, all finely wrought; axes,
single and double, chisels, drills,
gravcrs and knives used in the making
Sand decoration of the lance-heads, brace
lets, copper beads, pottery and other
articles that exist in great quantities,
tens of thousands of pieces of which
have been collected into various mu-
scums of this and other countries.
Copper vessels have been found inlaid
with silver. Most of the pottery is
elegantly designed and finished and the
stone articles show fine workmanship,
some deliberately carved, for which cut
ting of porphyry and obsidian tools of
excellent quality must have been re-
-quired.
These people mined copper and silver
an the Lake Superior region and
wrought them into implements of war
