scripturaI views of Dead-Heading

From the Philadelphia CALI
The anti free pass agitationin New
York is creating a good deal of fun
among people of all classes in that
State, and as a matter of course.
DR.. Chauncey III. Depew has had his
say in the matter. He has been
hunting up scriptural texts to use in
the application of the new ''no free
pass" rules to the clergy, very many
of whom have been for years in the
habit of looking upon free rides as
as one of the attachments of their
offices. DR.. Depew calls attention to
the following texts in this connec-
ton, viz: Thou shalt not, pass"
Numbers. Xxx, IS; ''Suffer not a man
to pass Judges. iii, %; "None
shal, ever pass" Isaiah, xxxiv, 10;
"Thlis generation shall not pass"
Mari k, xiii, 80; "Though they roar,
yet they cannot pass" jeremiah, V,
p; so they paid their fare and
went" Jonah, i, 3. This will do
pretty well for a beginning, and ac-
cordiDg to the President of the New
York Central they ought to supply
texts for many Forthcoming sermons.

The People Foot the Bill.

From the News g. Observer.
The Fusion Legislature is going it
rather strong. The Senate has eight
pages and sixteen laborers in it's
service and the House of Representa-.
tives has twenty pages and twenty
five laborers. Their names and
wages were given in the News and
Observer of the goth. These legisla-
tors of the new era are becoming
very aristocratic. They receive more
waiting upon than any of their
predecessors. eIn fact, it is necessary
TO add only few more s.laborers"
to the roll to give each one of them
a valet for his own personal use.
But thu people foot the bill.

From tie Literary Digest.l
When the tomato is grated on the
potato, which can be done by reason
of the close relationship between the
two plants, the potato roots con-
tinue to produce potatoes, while the
tomato grated on the potato stalk
continues to produce tomatoes. 1t
is considered in some of the agricul-
tural papers as remar kable that one
plant should produce two different
kinds of products; bat it is no more
remarkable than, other experiences
in grating. A pear may be grated
on the ounce, but the roots are still
ounce roots, although pears come
from the grated portion. There
have been cases known where the
graft will Influence the stock. but to
such d slight degree as not to
materially alter it's character

REFORM"

During the campaign much was
heard from Republican and Populist
candidates about reform" This
thing was wrong and another thing
was not in accord with the spirit of
liberty. Everything was out OF
joint and it was necessary for the
Republicans aud Populists to get
together and institute the much
needed reform
Well, the Republicans and Popu-
lists did get together and among
other things captured the Legisla-
ture. Now, let Us make brief sum
mary OF their efforts in that body
towards securing the great boon of
reform"
They elected colored Republican
assistant doorkeeper of the House
over disabled ex-Confederate sold
Ter, who vas led to vote in the cleo
tion for the "reform" ticket.
They took from the Lieutenant
Governor the prerogative of ap.
pointing the committees of the Sen
ate-a breach of courtesy and liberty
never before attempted in this State.
Commenting upon this action, Henry
London, of the Chatham Record
says:
Gwen in 1870 when the Democrats
first controlled the Leg islature they
did not even think of doing such q
thing, but allowed Lieutenant Gov
ernor Tod r. Caldwell (who was
very bitter Republican, TO appoint
every committee, as had always been
done. This writer was an officer of
that Senate Tin 1870 and we we'll
remember Caldwell being allowed to
appoint all the committees, and no
Democrat even suggested an objec-
ton 1t was reserved foI our mon
partisan" senators to be guilty of
most partisan act, which a Demo-
crat would have spurned as con-
temptible !"
They then attempted to elect
President pro TEN OF tie Senate with
"a view to depriving the Lieutenant
Governor of the functions of his
Office, in violation of the Constitution
of the State.
They attempted to dispose Of con-
tested election cases that had not
been properly brought before the
House.
They are considering and viii
probably pass county government
bill which bears upon it's face the
impress of a purpose to thwart the
will of the people, by abolishing the
office of county commissioner and
creating a like Office under a new
name and making a sufficient mum
Der of new magistrates, for limited
period, to supplant the Democratic
commissioners by Republican and
Populist "trustees.
And now the most shameful, the
most Infamous, the most heartless
act of all is being attempted, in the
intr oduction of bill by Maj. Grant,
of Wayne, to deprive disabled ex-
soldiers of the small
pensions voted them by grateful
people. 1t is difficult to find Ian
guage sufficiently expressive to prop.
erly denounce this dastardly pro
ceeding, which brands its instigator
with iEfamy.
These cries of "reform" deceived
many honest men during the cam
paign and led them to sanction the
unholy fusion movement by their
votes. How do they like the reform
record up to date?

but too late to render aid. Nothing
was saved except the harness on the
porch and the well bucket and two

Mr.. Frazier was off at a social
gathering and left his children in care
of the house After building on a
fire they concluded to shut up and
run down to their aunt's some 200
yards away to talk awhile. In a few
minutes they saw the flames and
heard the report of a pistol that had
been warmed by the fire.
Mr.. Fraizer's sister ran in and tried
to get in one of the rooms from the
hall but could not and in her attempt
to return 4er hair was swinged all
over her head aud hands cut by glass
in trying to find the door through
the dense smoke and finally made a
miraculous escape.
Mr.. Frazier was overwhelmed with
grief and tainted more than ance ere
he could be reconciled. The loss is
considered something near two
thousand dollars. No insurance.
