Providence in All Things.

A little error Of the eye, misguid-
ance Of the hand, slip of the foot, a
starting of a horse, sudden mist, or
great shower, or a word undcsignedly
cast forth in an army, has turned the
stream of victory from one side to an
other, and thereby disposed of en-
pires and whole nations. No prince
ever returns safe out of battle, but
may well remember how many blows
and bullets have gone by him that
might easily have gone through him ;
and by what little odd unforeseen
chances death has been turned aside,
which Seemed in a full, ready and d.
rect career to have been posting to
him. All which passages, If we do
not acknowledge to have been guided

Progressive Euchre Gambling.

Judge Moon, Of Chattanooga, in a
recent charge to the grand jury, had
this to say of progressive euchre. How
can law-addng citizens and church
members reconcile the practice of it
with their profession
"Not only is gambling carried on in
regular gambling resorts, but people
of high standing and responsibility
gamble. They may not put down
money but they set the example for
others in PLAYING for prizes and
awards. In these progressive cuchrc
games, these persons play for fine pic
lures or gold-headed canes. Exam
pies arc set that are violation OF
the law and it is just rs dcmoralizine
as common gambling. The convic-
tion of one man Of the higher class Il
better, as an example, than the con
yiction Of only ordinary people fol
common gambling

ShOrt.UOrCCd Girls.

The mistakes sometimes made in
making up" forms for the press are
irresistably funny, and withal very
annoying to the editors. The editor
of an American paper recently spoke
of herd of shOrt-hOrn cattle, and the
same week the ladies of Ottawa, Can
ada, gave a concert which the editor
puffed in flowing language. The
items got somewhat mixed. Imagine
his CONSERVATION when he picked up
the paper and found the items to read
as follows.
"rhe concert given by sixteen of
Ottawa's most beautiful and interest
ing young ladies was highly apprccia-
ted. They were elegantly dressed and
sang in the most charming manner,
winning the plaudits of the entire
audience, who pronounced them the
finest short-horns in the country. A
few of them are of a rich brown color,
but the majority are spotted brown
and white. Several of the heilers
weigh as much as I,500, fine bodies
and tight-lmbed animals. They are
SAID TO be excellent mixers and as
high as twenty-five pounds of butter
have been made from one in a week

PulD!ts Of the Press,

But there has sprung up another
kind Of pulpit, says the San Antonio
Messenger it is the pulpit of the edi-
tor. 1t has to do with the world the
flesh and the devil-a good deal of
deyil-nor, III fact, are the world and
flesh neglected. This pulpit is not
set up in church or ordinary hall it
is erected in an amphitheatre. Call
to mind the Coliseum and imagine a
circumference ten times as great,
with its rearmOsJ seats levcling the
top of a pyramid. That of Rome held
$4,000. Half million climb to their
seats here. Young men and old, ,n.aid-
ems and matrons and even children.
They coup the stone aisles trippingly
and joyously. The outermost seats
are jammed, and there is everywhere
a look of eager expectation. Present.
ly the editor will address them; he is
ready with varied discourse, a ming
ling of wit and wisdom; blame f0l
some, praise for others, excitement
for rall. In this amphithcatre an or
dinary human voice would produce as
much effect as the dropping of a pin
Not so the editors; every word i,
distinct and clear and permanent, ,and
his auditors are intense. Every
weekly morning there are thousands
of these amphitheatres-big and lit
tlc-and on Sunday filed to overflow
ing, and taking together they cOnsti
tute what you call "the press"
