Bragg is undoubtedly discovering that
priestly interference in politics cuts
both ways. When on the stump In
1890 and again in 1892, Gen. Bragg
rung the changes in the Bennett law
for all they were worth and stimulated
as far as possible the interference of
the priesthood in politics for the bene-
fit and success of the Democratic par
ty. Now he meets at least two of the
priesthood face to face against him
in his battle for the senatOrship.

secret, but not one man In ten millions

very frequently, is that men, even good
Christian men, cannot bring themselves to
do everything willingly, because they fail to
see that everything which they are obliged
to do Is Gods will, and so chafe against it

large sum of money not of his own, but
belonging to the dying man be had been sent
for to comfort. He knew that a dangerous
robber was aware that he was riding along
this lonely track through the bush with all
this money about him, and when he got to
one part OF the road he felt 80 frightened
that he thought he was not trusting God as
q Christian should. He wanted little
quiet, so he got off his horse and stood by it,
with his eyes shaded against it, praying tor
faith and courage not to be afraid OF the
bushranger robbers, and to be guarded
against them. He prayed till he felt calm
enough to ride on, and then he mounted his
horse, and reached the town in safety with
the money which he had in charge.
Some time later he was once more called
to visit man OH q sick bed, and be recog.
nized him as the Iobber of whom he had
been so afraid in his ride. This man had
told him he had felt he could not die with
out confessing that on that day he had fol-
lowed him, intending to rob and murder
him. but could get no opportunity.
'Wby did you not do 1t when got on
my horse" asked the clergy man IN surprise.

"there were too many Of YOU"
"What do you mean, )" said the clergy
man; 81 was quite alone in the bush
standing with my head resting against my
horses side for long time. You could
have killed ME then"
"You were not alone" said the bushran-

of you."

that God really did open the robbers eyes

A NEW YORK citizen, in suggesting
in the Tribune that liberal space
be allotted in the Worlds Fair for the
growth and exhibition of woods and
plants containing valuable 1bers,
contributes some general points on
tho subject that are Of public inter.
est. A new system of disintegration
has overcome the exclusive import
ance of cotton and made practicable
the utilization of the many flbrous
plants that have heretofore rotted in
our fields, forests and swamps. BY
using the substitutes growing around
us we might save nine-tenths Of the
$40, 900, 900 yearly sent to Europe for
abers. Cotton stalks could be used
instead Of burned. So could the mill

Europe, last year, 900, 900 tons Of fax
straw were used. We allow to 60 to
waste materials which would take
the place of the hundred thousand
tons Of fiber imported yearly for
grain binding twine and the $4,000
tons Of wrappings used for baling
each cotton crop. What is stated

accepted Mr.. Prentlce's generous tender
and agreed to take the stone as soon as
it was broken from. its bed and move
and erect the same on the grounds to be
designated by the Fair officials at Chi
cago. Accordingly, work was COM
menced at once with i've steam channel
ers and about forty men on the LIST OF
August last.
Work was first pursued on the Wilson
Island quarry, and after some time had
been spent in uncovering the top layer
without finding body of rock which
met Mr.. Prentice's approval the work
was transferred to the quarries at Hough.
ton Point, in Bayfield, County. 1t took
but a few days there to Locate rock OF
the desired quality and size, and few
days after the explorations began men
were busily engaged in uucoveiing and
marking out the monolith. The work
went steadily on, and on November 1Ott
Mr.. Prentice was able to make the graf
ifylng statement that stone of the re-
quired size lay open to inspection and all
that was yet needed for him to fulfill his
agreement was the breaking OF it from
the mass of which it had been a part.
The announcement was made by Mr.
Prentice that the monollth would be
looaened on Friday, November 18th,
and on that day the public were invited
to the quarry to witness the event. When
November 18th came large assemblage
of citizens boarded the ferryboats and
were transferred to Houghton Point,
where the quarry is located aud where
the brown stone monster was waiting to
be broken from its resting place.
Previous to the day of raising, the
workmen of the quarry had carefully
started the parting wedges, so that on
the appointed day all that was necessary
to complete the task Mr.. Prentice had
undertaken was the successful driving
of the wedges. Along each side OF the
monolith, which had been sawed at
either end, were started about 400 feather
wedges, all partly driven.
Arriving at the quarry, all that re-
mained to be done was the giving OF the
signal to begin driving the wedges. At
II o'clock Mr.. Prentice lined the men
on each side of the monolith and took
his position on the top. There were fifty
men on each side standing with mauls
uplifted waiting for the word to be given
to tap the entered wedges. At signal
from MIR. Prentice the marls fell, and
tEs work had begun. With the pre-
cisiSp of clock work the men drove the

monolith to be 106 feet in length and
nine feet two inches at the base, but
upon a later consideration decided to
have it lis feet long, ten feet at the
base and four feet square at the top.
The apex will be about five feet long
and will be tapered to about six inch

PREPARATION FOR THE WEEK OF PRAYER.

PREPARATION FOR THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
We think that we earnestly desire for our
selves Gods best gifts; we think that for
the church we wish blessings as great as any
that are promised; We are hoping for much
good to result from the coming days OF
prayer. Yet 1t Is certain that this season
does pass in many church, leaving 1T like
Gideon's fleece when that remained dry
while dew surrounded 1t. There are certain
conditions on which the blessing partly de.
pends. and on earnest wish for the blessing
will lead to search for the way in which to
secure 1t. ....
There must be deep sense of our need
and of definite needs that we wish to have
supplied. The plea of the friend at midnight
was granted because it was definite and
urgent; be knew what he wanted, and how
much, and why and what he would do with
it. II our requests were to be as definite,
we should have to make more thorough
study of our failings and our longings than
most. perhaps, have yet made.
There must be profounc conviction that
God is not only able, but eager, to grant all
that we can ask for. There should be con-
viction Of the power of united prayer rising
from hearts bound together in Christian
love, so strong that 1t shall constrain each
one to seek the assembly of Christians and
to Join his prayers to theirs. These needs.
are axioms In the Christian life, and yet in
such simple conditions lies the secret Of the
mightiest movements that have shaken the
earth; and the thought of what. by Gods
grace, has thus been effected in other days
will have q powerful influence In leading to
greater results now.
The Week of Prayer means beseecbtng
God to come among Us with new power;
then we must make room for the heavenly
Guest, room In our hearts, room in our time,
room in our thoughts. The week implies
faith that we are TO receive something; the
hand that expects to receive is open. not fast
closed so as to keep firm grip on something
else. The occasion means that we are asking
and expecting God to speak to us; then we
must hush the din of worldly employments
that we may hear his gentlest word. II We
are to ask for his presence in special de-
gree, we must certainly be willing to take
the time to 60 where he has especially
promised to he, and we must be so much abb
sorbed In the prospect Of his coming that the
thought of 1t shall be uppermost i'll our
minds. Ncr do we truly wish our Fathers
presence il we are not filed with his longing
that his coming shall draw in those who have
been holding themselves aloof from the
circle of his childrpn.-fGo!den Rule.
