The Minister'S Reform Meeting-A
Painful Exhibition.


Painful Exhibition.
II the campaign lasted a week or
two longer and one or two more
meetings, like that held at the Taber-
nacle last night. took place, Mr.. Stan
ton would be elected, not by one, but
by five thousand majority. Every
speaker at this meeting was a Burch-
ard in spirit and some of them let the
spirit overcome their discretion. DR..
Parkhurst, with most admirable folly,
explained the motive of such reticence
as he maintained. "We want votes"
he said,-only for that he would have
let out the virulence that was in him.
DIR. Halleron could not control his
tongue eyen to catch votes. But then
that is DIR. Halleron's constitutional
difficulty. He nev can control
eithershis prejudices or the offensive
expression of them.
We give in our news columns a full
and truthful report OF all that was
said at the meeting. 1t is the best
campaign matter in Sheriff S%tanton's
favor that has yet appeared. Colonel
Toffey must certainly curse his luck
that he was endorsed by the meeting
instead of by the Prohibition candi-
date. for the only effect such speeches
as preceded the endorsement can
have. is to inject a factor of religious
sectarianism into the campaign which
is disgusting to all right minded peo-
pie.
Let us keep our religion and
politics apart. 1t does not matter an
iota whether a man is Jew or GENTLE,
Methodist. Baptist Catholic. Episco-
palian, Faith Curist, Swedenborgian
or Eseteric Buddhist. The question
is whether he is an honest man,
whether he represents a party whose
principles and purposes are beneficial
to the country, whether he has a
record for honesty and efficiency to
recommend him. Comparison of Mr..
of Colonel Toffey is fair and square.
Comparison of their records as politi-
clans is fair and square. Sheriff
Stanton can have no ground for COM
planning OF comparisons on either
point, o has he any eas to fear
such comparisons. The Democratic
party, which dominates Mr.. Stanton
neither fears nor deprecates compari-
son with Republicanism. Its record
in the past is infinitely better as are
also its present policy and principles.
Let as fight out the campaign on
these personal and political issues.
Let us avoid bringing in elements OF
bigotry which are an outrage upon
the spirit of our government, and a
menace to the peace, order and liberty
of the country.

Alcohol and SparrOws,

The English sparrows have proved
nuisance in the cotton country, for as
soon as the bolls open they pick out the
cotton and carry it of, and somo planters
have lost, as they claim, hundreds Of
pounds in this way. There Ia one man,
however, in De Witt County that has
not lost much. When he found the
sparrows were committing depredations
he procured a quantity of wheat, soaked
it in sweetened whiskey, and strewed il
along the rows. The sparrows found it,
and thought they had picnic. So they
had, but in fifteen or twenty minutes
there was the tipsiest lot of English
sparrows ever seen on the face of the
earth. They rolled about the ground,
falling on their sides and back aud kick.
ing their heels into the air like parcel
of drunkards, all the while uttering the
most comical squeaks. They did not
have long to squeak, however. for the
boys gathered them up and threw them
into bags. The first day they gathered
two bushels of drunken sparrows. Three
or four days later the experiment was re-
peat~d with almost equal success, and
from time to time since. They made ex-
cellent potpie, but the survivors have
come to regard the plantation as hoo
dooed, as now very few come about it. -

Shooting . Lion.

Then from behind the camel there
came huge gray thing. II was the lion,
but too far for . certain shot. As he
crouched with extended paws and ele-
vsted back, his head near the ground,
and glaring az me in defiance. l slowly
raised my rife for careful shot, for he
seemed upon the point of charging. But
40 did so he turned and numbered of,
and the shot despatched to hasten his
movements only struck the sand. Then
began the chase. Ny horse was out Of
sight behind, but i was soon in the sad
die and away. Meantime tho two mount
ed natives had taken up the chase, and
after running the lion for two miles, he
went to bay in thicket of mimosa trees.
Branishing their spears, and keeping az
. respectful distance on their active little
horses, the men hurled at him what were
no doubt the most insulting and scornful
epithets. Fara came up AS | was dis
mounting, just in time to hold my horse.
AS l approached the clump of trees,
rife in hand, il was a moment or two be-
fore / could distinguish the lion; when
did so he was crouching full length be-
hind a many-stemmed mimosa, facing
me, and evidently in charging mood, ss
he was swaying his body and working
his tail from side 70 side with great i'm
petuosity. As I walked round outside
the clump TO get q fanking shot, he kept
turning and facing me. So at last sat
down AID fired twice at his head between
the stems; and reloading like lightning,
| rested the rifle ON a bush. and fired
once more. Upon receiving this shot, he
left his bush and came straight at me a.
fast as possible, without giving me time
reload the right barrel. When be was
about five yards of, gave him my last
barrel in the chest, and jumped aside,
and instantly everything was hidden IN
a cloud of dust. My last shot had
broken his charge, and caused him 10
swerve round. When the dust settled,
/ saw him under the same bush as before,
but badly hit; he was my lion now, aud,
running up 10 within easy range, put
two bullets into his shoulder, which
finished him. Century.

P6ramne Floors

NJ. Burd, Of Lyons, has stopped sbso-
lutely the sweeping of floors in hospita.
wards. He has the floors covered with
a coat of a solution of parsfne in petro-
leum, which makes them impermeable 10
anything and gives them brown tint.
A single application lasts two years.
Thus prepared the floors stand very well
wiping every day with a damp cloth,
moistened with some antiseptic solution.
The same process can be applied with
advantage to barracks, school rooms and
other places. In private dwellings, where
the floors are covered with carpet, there
should be substituted for the ordinary
sweeping the use of mechanical brushes,

collect it in special boxes, from which il
can be thrown into the fire, the great
destroyer and periier of all germs. This
mode of sweeping is especially requisite
in the lower stories of houses, since
microbean germs are found in greatest
numbers in the lower layers of the at
mosphere. They are ten times more
numerous in the center of Paris in the
vicinity of the Seine, than on higher
ground. In every house, considered
separately, the air Of the upper stories
is incontestably purer and freer from
microbes than that Of the lower stories.

Anybody Can Ascertain AnOther's Age
by This Method.
There was once wise king who was
awfully curious. He was possessed of a
desire TO know everything, and was
continually asking questions. Indeed,
his thirst for knowledge carried him so
far that he wanted to know the age OF
every person he met. But, being king,
he was exceedingly polite, and would
resort TO strategy TO gain his ends.
One day there came to the court a gray
haired professor, who amused the king
greatly. He told the monarch a number
of things that he never knew before, and
the king was delighted, But finally it
came to the point when the ruler wanted
to know the age of the professor, so he
thought of mathematical problem.
"Ahen.w said the king. Il have an
interesting sum for you; it is trial in
