WASHINGTON, D c., October 10.-Secretary
Rusk received. through the department of
state, advices coming from the United States
consul at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, not only
confirming the dispatch announcing the
time for the fraf, importation Of corn into
Mexico to be extended t. November 80. but
stating further that IN addition to the above.
he was informed that between December I
and January 81 next, one-foIrth of the reg
ular duty, which is cent per kIlogram gross
weight, viii be collected on imports. He
adds: This free importation until the end OF
November and reduced import duty until
January 81. has caused a greatly increased
demand for our American corn, particularly
in all regions west of the Mississippi. The
extension of time for free or reduced import
duties will continue this demand and Will
probably double the amount of Imports. At
present fifty 20 Seventy-tive car loads of co u
are sent from this port daily to points n the
interior. The local demand IN northern Mex
leo is nearly supplied.

The Examinations will be repeated
on October 13 and again on October 20,
and no one in this section should miss
the opportunity to witness them, es-
pecialy as the railroads are making
such very low rates to ST. Louis. No
one need stay away for fear of not get
ting accommodation at hotels at rea-
sonable prices. The Autumnal Festiv-
tiles Association has organized hotel
and boarding bureau, which keeps
list of 100000 rooms or apartments for
rent, and which furnishes guides for
strangers, in order that they may have
no difficulty in finding the quarters as
signed to them.
Another never failing attraction is
the exposition, at which Gilmore's one
hundred, the grandest band in the
world, will give four concerts daily un-
til Oct. 30, inclusive. The charge for
admission to this great combination of
attractions is only % cents. which in
cludes seat at the Gilmore concerts
as well as admission to the art CALLER
les, the mechanical, artistic, electrical
and fishery displays, and notwith-
standing the heavy expenses incurred,
this fee is'large enough to make the
exposition self-supporting and profit
earning. The railroads are still MAX

Bible. If the Scriptures think as they
do, well: il not, SO much the worse for
the Scriptures. The Bible is merely the
milestone on which they sharpen the
disSecting knife of controversy. They
come to it as Government in time Of
war comes TO armorieS or arsenalS for
weapons and munitions. They have de-
clared everlasting war against all other
sectS, and they want so many broad
swords, SO many muSketS, so many how
itzerS, SO many colum biads so much grape
and canister, so many fieldpieces with
which TO rake the field of dispute, for
they mean to get the victory though the
heavens be darkened with the smoke and
the earth REM with the thunder. What
do they care about the religion Of the
Lord Jesus Christ?
l have seen some such men come back
from an ecclesiastical massacre as proud
of their achievements as an Indian
warrior boasting Of the number of scalps

for q man who goes forth with his fists
to get the championship than have for
these theological pugilists who make our
theological magazines ring with their
warcry. There are men who seem to
think the only use Of the sword of truth
Is to stick somebody. There is one pas
sage OF the Scriptures that they like
better than all others, and that is this:
blessed be the Lord which teacheth nv
hands to war, and my fingers to fight!''
Woe to us II we come to Gods word as
or as skeptics, Or as
connoisseurs. or as fault-inders, or
merely as poets!
