In twenty of the twenty-five seasons

Libels of the Press.

The President has recently petitioned
to set aside the sentence of ninety days
imprisonment imposed upon the editor
of newspaper in Washington on con-
viction Of criminal libel. Mr.. Cleveland
refused to pardon the offender, and en-
dorsed the application as follows: This
crime is most detestable one. 1t has
become so common and is SO seldom
punished that cannot reconcile execu-
tive ciemency in the case here presented
with the duty owe to decent journal
ism, the peace of society and the protec-
ton Of those constantly subjected to Ii
bellous attacks"
Decent journalism may thank the
President of the United States for Civ
ing this object lesson in it's principles.
The liberty of the press is thing to be
defended even to the last resort by free
people; but license to defame is thing
which cannot be tolerated. There is all
the difference in the world between the
exposure by the press of wrongdoing on
the part of persons in places of public
trust, and the bringing of unjust accu-
sations against them Commonwealth.

a severe attack of paralysis which still

since the state of his health incapacitat-

Literary Vignettes.
xxv.-PRoF. GEORGE NJ. EBERs.

1t is not often that writer may be
found to unite in himself the qualities
of popular and distinguished scientist
and the genius of great novelist. But
such is the distinction of George Moritz
Ebers, whose historical novels of the
type Of can Egyptian Princess have
placed him in the front rank of modern
romancists. and whose discovery Of the
medical scroll known as the Papyrus
Ebers, together with many other valu-
able relics Of ancient Egyptian civiliza-
ton, have given him a no less distin-
guished position in the domainCof
science.
Prof. Ebers was born in Berlin, Ger
many. March l, 1887. He received his
primary education in the institute at
Keilhau, in Thuringia. Later he attend
ed the gymnasiums (which correspond
to our high schools) of Kottbus and
Quedlinburg, and finally matriculated
at the University of Gottingen as
student of law in 1856. But serious ILL
ness two years later obliged him to re-
linquish jurisprudence and take up the
study of philology and classic and ORR
entail archaeology. In 1859 he attended
the University of Berlin, where he de-
voted several years to the study of Egyp-
tian languages and paleontology.
Completely recovered from his illness,
he now visited several of the larger
European museums, where he reveled in
the magnificent collections of Antiquities.
Returning to Germany in 1865, he be-
came a lecturer at the University of Jena,
position which he retained until 1868,
when he was appointed Professor of the
Egyptian Languages and Archaeology.
In 1869 he made an extensive journey in
Egypt, Nubia and Arabia. via Spain and
Northern Africa, whence he returned to
the fatherland. after an absence of four
teen months, to accept the professor
ship of Egyptology at the University of
Leipsic. The winter of 1928 again
found him in Egypt. where he made sew
eral valuable discoveries, of which the
medical scroll known as the Papyrus
Ebers was the most important and de-
serves especial mention. A complete
description and Interpretation of this
celebrated papyrus appeared in two vol.
umes in 1873, and carried the scientific
renown of its finder to the far corners Of
the earth. Since that time the noted
scientist and novelist has been a resi-
! dent of Leipsic and member of the fac
ulty Of its university, and has added
many works of learning to his chef
d'guvre. of which his books of travel,
notably those on Egypt and Palestine,
are best known.
His historical novels, of which "An
Egyptian Princess" published in 1864,
was the first, have appeared in quick
succession, and place him in the front
rank of the romancers of the age. Many
of these have been dramatized, and all
have been translated into the modern
languages. and as consequence, the
popularity of the author extends far
beyond the confines of his Saxon home.
The Papyrus Ebers. to which allusion
has been made, is considered of the

ILLINOIS, Gale burg. - Fri ay
evening, May II, the Ladies' Society OF
the Universalist church served the dedi-
catory supper in the dining room OF the
new church. The ladies OF this church
cannot be excelled in serving dinners
and suppers. One this occasion the serv-
ing facilities of the church were thor
oughly tested, for from $50 A. M. until
IN. M. between three and four hundred
people partook Of the three course sup
per. The proceeds were over 500.
Sunday, May 26, was very interesting
day-one long to be remembered. Forty
five persons were received into the
church, eighteen by baptism, seventeen
by confirmation and twenty from the
Congregationalist. Methodist and other
Universalst churches. The church was
crowded in every part with an immense
audience to witness the interesting SER
vices.
During the months of July and Aug
ust the churches Of this city. including
the Universalist, hold evening Union
meetings.

breaches in the Universalist church and
DIR. Stocking in the Presbyterian church.
One of the local papers. in commenting
on the union meetings, has these words:
"Dr. Stockings work in Galesburg has
been of the most satisfactory kind. No
pastor here is held in more respect by the
people and is more Highly esteemed by
his fellow pastors. The work he has done
has strengthened his own church greatly,
and has been of benefit to the denomina-
ton, for it has done much toward oblit
Grating prejudice and encouraging fra
ternity." DR.. Stocking will not take the
usual vacation, but will remain at his
post looking after the enlarged and null
tiplied interests of his parish. The con-
gregation OF the church is rejoicing over
the arrival of nearly two hundred of the

Every pew is supplied with two of the
books, which adds much to the singing
of the congregation.

MlSSOURI.-Elmer.-The new So
ciety at this place is aourishing finely.
The Sunday school is largely attended.
The Y. P. @. U. meets twice a month
and is thoroughly alive. Sixteen new
members have been received at recent
meetings.
Our young people at this point are
also the leaders in prosperous Good
Templars lodge. Ours was the first
church in this town, followed Immediate
ly by second. The building Of these
churches started veritable boom and
modest dwellings, aud business blocks
have followed in rapid succession.
We are glad to announce that Sec
ond debate will occur, Elmer. August ID.
This debate is between Rev. John Hugh.
es, of Table Grove, ILL.,, our we'll known,
indomitable champion. and Rev. w.
P. Throgmorten, an experienced debater
whom the Baptist brethren choose from
among their host as the most worthy
advocate of endless punishment. The
affair promises battle royal, with issue
never in doubt. We only hope that Bro.
Hughes may find an opponent worthy
his steel.
La Crosse.-R F. M. Gates, of Yer
ona, ILL.,, candidated here two Sundays
in May. He was we'll received and il he
fails to get call, our small means and
not our desire will be to blame.
Third Sunday in May the young peo-
pie of Elmer and La Crosse held joint
meeting. The church was filled; preach
ing service was forgotten while these en-
thusiastic young people swayed all
hearts until late hour. The intellect
ual and high spiritual standard Of the
half dozen essays read was surprise to
those who were not intimate with our
Union. / wish some of our Eastern
friends could have been at that meeting;
they would know where lies the field of
promise for our church.
The La Crosse Union will hold me-
mortal service the second Sunday in
June, in memory of James Hertzher, who
died at the Kirksville Normal School
short time since. This young brothers
death was sad; his memory is held
dear.
La Plata.-The second Sunday in
May, witnessed unique scene, Before
the sermon r. Gillaspy, M. D., Treasurer
Of the church. was called to the platform
to announce glad tidings. The Doctor
was SO filled with emotion that his words
came slowly, but when the audience un-
derstood that this beloved church, rep
resenting sacrifice from so many people.
was free of debt, wholly and entirely
free of every debt, then were they moved
to tears. This time has been long de-
layed, but it has come at last through
the unbounded liberality of the people
in general and the wisdom and persist
ence of DIR. Gillaspy in particular. When
the Doctor sat down and Miss Mahaffy
had sung SO sweetly. "Only Remembered
By What we Have Done" there was pres
emit not one dry eye. So have we our
joys and our sorrows in this mission
field. GLIB.

RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS TO THE Con-
vENTIoN.-We trust all Universalists
who expect to attend the Convention at
Cleveland next week. will be governed
by the suggestions in the last UNIvER-

sum endanger the securing of such
favors in the failure. Pay full fare go

ed in the announcement. Our rates are
good going from Monday till Friday.
The other rates are good only June 3

Riegel will earnestly endeavor to con-
tinue the good work accomplished by
his predecessor, Rev. o. G. Colegrove.
Rumor has it that Bro. Riegel will bring

young lady co-workers at Webster,
NY.
REV. HENRIETTA G. MOORE. will spend
most of this month in Wisconsin, but
will return to Ohio in time to attend the
Convention at Cleveland.
EATON Our faithful correspondent
from Eaton informs us that the South
western Ohio Y. P. G. U. Conference will
meet yearly, hereafter. The time fixed
is the Thursday preceding the meetings
of Miami and Ballou Associations, and
the Conference will convene alternate
years in the place selected by the Associ-
atoms. This is an excellent arrange
ment, and will secure larger attend
ance and consequently result in in
creased interest. At the last meeting
there were delegates from Springboro,
Milford, Cincinnati and Eaton. Rev.
Abbie E. Danforth recently recognized
the Woman's Missionary Alliance at
Eaton with twelve members. Since then
several additions have been made and
Sewing Circle has been organized to
meet on Thursday afternoons.

socials, but when other churches apply
the owner very justly asks them to con-
tribute enough to cover the expense OF
opening the hall to them. which they
are very ready to give. The political
parties have been induced to hold their
caucus meetings in this hall. Political
speeches are delivered here, and only
one request is made-that no tobacco be
used and no smoking done. The request
has been sacredly observed by most per-
sons. Only few old and forgetful men
are ever guilty of a breach of etiquette.
Inducements have been held out for the
trustees of the Town to hold all cleo
tions here in Progress Hall 1t would
be next to taking an election into a
church. At last this has been agreed
to. and future elections will take place
in this quiet sanctuary, as beautiful as a
village church. The election judges
will therefore sit from early morning till
late at night without tobacco or the ON
nipresent cigar. A cuspidor would be
looked upon as a dissertation. Its as.
sociations are evil.
1t is of interest to know that Miss
Berry devotes very large share of her
attention to this benevolent enterprise.
She is woman Of rare force, fine intelli-
gence. and her work bespeaks the quality
of her heart. In little town Of 900
people she is impressing the lesson Of
her love for all that is good and her life
must be finely woven into the social life
of these people who are 80 fortunate as
to possess her. We do not know wheth-
er it ever occurred to Miss Berry to de-
vote her energies to some wider field-to
choose the heart Of some great city and
go there to uplift the fallen. Perhaps
not. Likely nothing could call her away
from this pleasant rural home which
knows little of the pathetic side of life.
We do not mention this as suggestion,
but we do feel that such earnestness
could produce great good in a larger
field. But it may be rs we'll God has
placed her here. Every village needs a
saint, which every village has not.
Somehow those have come in for larger
share of praise who have sought the lost;
but to our mind it is no less divine to
throw the mantle of love about those
who have known little Of temptation. God
raises up some to seek and save the lost,
and / as much believe that he raises up
others to keep many from being lost. to
stand and guard the fold while the
shepherd is out upon his search for some
missing one. Such an Office has been
given to Prudence Berry and she is well
installed and upon the scene Of duty.
The Universalist public may we'll be
proud of her. To many | thus intro.
duce her name. May you sometime have
the pleasure of looking into the large
and honest countenance of this woman,
where benevolence has made herself a
throne. F. F. BUCKNER.

regular visit to our church at Flint, May
II, and had good congregations. Bro.
John Potter, the patriarch of the
church. has been elected Treasurer of
the Township Sunday-school Conven-

when lived, develops confidence and re.
spect.
New PARIs.-A correspondent writes:
Services at our church, Sunday even
ing, May 10, were attended by one Of the
largest congregations we have had this
year. The pastor. Rev. o. P. Norman,
preached on The Old Devil and the
Modern Devil" We feared the change
of the Sunday school from afternoon to
the morning, would prove detrimental,
but now believe it will be beneficial, as
every one seems imbued with new life.
GREENvILLE.- We learn that our
friends in the beautiful city of Green
vile, have purchased lot and have IA
vorable prospects for securing money
enough to erect church equal to pres
emit demands. This is good news.
DR.. G. L. DEMAREsT, Secretary Of the
Universalist General Convention, informs
us that he can not conveniently attend
the Ohio Convention this year. This in.
formation will be much regretted.
Rev. r. N. JOHN went to indianapolis

in honor of Bro. John Heron, to whom
the church there is largely indebted for

and seven funerals. In addition he has
made hundreds of addresses on temper.
ance and other topics, and has never
been found wanting in the details of
pastoral work.
REV. j. F. THOMPSON rendered his
resignation as pastor of our church at
Akron, at the morning service, May 49,.
A meeting was called for the following
Thursday evening to consider the resig-
