AS STATED in the GAZETTE last sat
u day, the Senate on that day appre'
priated half a million dollars for teie-
graphic line to Hawaii. Most all the
southern Senators voted against it, as
,hey should have done. fatelegraph 10
Honolulu would be paying invest
ment, there are plenty OF men ard
money in the North to lay it. But as
j culd not, the Northern company
INT will lay it, must be paid therefor
out of the public treasury. 1t is done,
TOO, in the name of patriotism. But
Northern patriotism, judging from the
past, is very apt to be manifestation

THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN AND
THE SOUTHERN RoADs.-The Atlanta
Journal says: 'The placing of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany into the hands Of receiver by
Judge Golf, of Richmond, has been the
livelest topic OF discussion for some time
in local railroad circles. Perhaps it
will be still livelier when the probable
full import of the receivership is under
stood by the railroad world, The CO.
tire weight of the matter is suggested
by this question Does the Southern
Railway want the Norfolk and West
ern q The information comes from an
authority which is reliable not only Cd
accountof the accuracy of its judgment,
but from the point OF view from which
these judgments are obtained, that the
Southern Railway does want the Nor
folk and Western. 1t is even intimated
that the general debility of the Nor
folk and Western was brought about
by the fact. that there was a deal be-
tween parties interested, SO that the
outcome of the whole matter would he
the final merging of the Norfolk and
Western system into the great South
ern Railway. The Norfolk and West
ern is q natural complement of the
Southern Railway in the South, and
from the point of the logic of the situa-
ton, it would seem that if the South
ern desires to extend its mileage at all,
it would most naturally do so by the
addition of the Norfolk and Western. -"
The Richmond State says well-in-
formed railroad men in that city do not
credit this rumor.

A GENERAL ELECTED.

Lieutenant-C Colonel Alonzo L. Phil
lips, of the First Regiment of Infantry,
was, in Richmond on Saturday night,
elected commander ofthe First Brigade,
which, as enlarged by the Governor,
embraces all of the white troops in
Virginia except the Portsmouth battal-
lou.
The field officers of the brigade re-
sumed bailoting upon Resembling
Saturday morning, but the deadlock
remained unbroken When an adj
tournament was had at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon los ballots had been taken,
and the figures were still Phillips, 6,
Male, 5.
Colonel Phillips was put ZIP on Thurs
day by the supporters OF Colonel Nash,
who, being convinced that their can
didate could not be elected, hoped by
taking man from the opposing side to
bring about solution of the problem
that had called the officers together
three times. The only effect of this
move was to take one vote away from
the Nalle column and add it to the
Nash Phillips side, thus reversing the
figures that then obtained.
When the recess was taken Saturday
afternoon, two reports were made 10
the Governor. The six who were vot-
ing for Phillips announced that they
did not think an agreement was
possible, as matters stood, while the
Nalle ouintette expressed the belief
that if the officers were held together
an election would result.
The Governor then determined to
enlarge the brigade. and accordingly
issued an order assigning the First Re-
giment of Cavalry, the First Battalion
of Artillery and the Blues Battalion to
the First Brigade.
He then directed the field officers of
the enlarged brigade to report to the
Adjutant. General at $50 p. M, to elect
brigadisr-general.
Another order was issued allowing
Lieutenant-Co Colonel Gaines, ofthe Third
Regiment, who is sick in Warrenton,
to vote by telegraph.
The brigade formerly consisted OF
only the four regiments of the State,
and hence there were only twelvr
officers eligible to vote for brigade
commander. The new order increased
the number OF votes to seventeen.
The officers assembled promptly Sat
urday night, and the Tooth ballot, or
the first one after the addition to the
brigade, resulted in the election of Col
onel Phillips by vote of 10 to I.
Colonel Phillips made short speech
of acceptance and expressed his appre-
citation of the high honor conferred up
on him.
Ofthe FIVE additional field officers,
all from Richmond, who were added TO
the field by the Governors order, four
voted for Phillips and one for Male.
1t is not positively known who the man
was who voted for Nalle, but it is said
to eb Major Simons.

Tho Guiding Finger of God.

The encouraging thing about all this
fs that we can SO plainly see Gods
guiding hand. As from the beginning,
n down to the present day. Christian
Endeavor has grown in just this way.
Without much human effort or direc-
tion, as it would seem, the work has
spread and gathered force and volume.
In every state and province at home
In every denomination in America
then in England, Australia, Mexico, In
dia, China, Japan, France, Turkey,
Spain, South America, were those that
grasped the underlying ideas of Chris
tian Endeavor, whose hearts were ell
listed, who saw its possibilities, and who
went to work to realize them in their
own neighborhood.
Now this same practical and blessed
story is being repeated in Germany, in
Switzerland, in Norway, and hope l
shall bo able to soon add Sweden and
Denmark to tho list.
Thus directly under the guiding fin
ger of God is the work advancing. Thus
is our glorious fellowship wider with
every setting Sun. ua.-EraIcis L. Clark.

SCRIPTURE REApISGs.-Ex. Xxx, Is, 81; John
Nv, .; Titus iii, 81 Heb. K, -.
Bodily cleanliness is the common
Scriptural symbol of soul purity and
righteousness. To appreciate its full re-
ligious significance we need to contrast
the abounding filth of oriental streets
and house and prevalent habits of un-
cleanness of the common people with
the scrupulous neatness commanded in
the Mosaic law. 1t is we'll in this con-
nection to make an inductive study Of
the Bible teaching Of purity, compar-
ing the rules for bodily publication Civ
en- in Exodus, Deuteronomy, Numbers,
Leviticus, with the New Testament GUS
toms of the Jews described in Gospels,
Acts and Epistles. The laver in the
form of huge bowl Of brass mounted
on pedestal Of the same metal stood
conveniently i'll front Of the tabernacle
or holy tent and near to the brazen al
tar on which the sacrifices were burned.
Water stood continually in the upper
and probably also in lower part, so
that the priests could wash both hands
and feet every time they came into the
sacred inclosure. In the temple similar
arrangements, but on larger scale,
were provided, Skillful mechanical con-
trivances filled the LAYERS with clean
water and carried away the foul. These
frequent washings were not only for the
purpose of removing the blood and i'm
purities unavoidable in handling the
sacrifices and doing the service of the
sanctuary with bare feet, but were a
special object lesson in piety as sign
of the holiness of the God worshiped
Goodness was cleanness. 1t was long
remove from the pollutions Of daily sim
full life in principle, though in the very
midst of the camp. They who bore the
vessels of the Lord must be pure. Wash
ed bodies and clean, white linen gar
ments were q constant reminder to
priests and people that God could not
look with the least degree of allowance
upon sin.
In the New Testament rite of baptism
we have continuation Of the same
thought. " is sacramcntal i'll that it is
an outward and visible sign of the in.
ner and spiritual grace which abides in
the soul of every true child of God. II
saves not i'll the sense of some unknow'
able operation, mot the putting away
of the filth &C the flesh, but the appeal
of good conscience toward God through
the resurrection of Jesus Christ" We
arc to draw near to God with q true
heart in fullness of faith, having oul
hearts sprinklcd from an evil conscience
and our body washed with pure water. u
