The general theme Of the sunday
school lesson today Is the vastly
greater importance OF essentials, In
duty aud In evangelical faith, rather
than forms and ceremonies. Certainly
any reader OF the daily papers In the
past week ought TO appreciate such a
lesson. II has been a week Of blood,
a week of crime aud outrage, OF horror
and OF wsr, cruelty widespread, one
war apparently just ended aud another
aboSt to begin, murder and outrage at
home and p broad, hvmAn slaughter 30
gross that the mind pals and falls
longer to appreciate the mum
bsrs OF the sufferers 40 .
climsx TO such week comes
the brlei but awful news, condensed in
few lines, that the number of Hin
docs and Bengslese who have died OF
famine and plague is six times as great
as heretofore reported aud amounts
actually to millions All this while a
so-called Christian land has vast piles
of grain rotting unsold
After such week OF mans inhuman'
ity, ceremonies and forms. though SO
necessary and useful In preserving
vital organization, sink almost into
nothingness beside that one vast
problem OF how to improve the people
how to teach better things and bette
life, how TO uplift and broaden end

PAT NAeLE set a very bad precedent
in resigning the office Of United States

novel or smart in such a movement
and he will draw to himself no espec. al
credit or thanks for such action. Pol

more praise for being sentimental in
politics than he does in business.

A short time ago letter was mailed
from an attorney at Cournna, Mich,
TO a clerk Of the court In this territory
inquiring whether OF not a certain
man named Brewster had obtained a
decree OF divorce. In the letter the
clerk was requested to carefully look

The Tennessee flowed at the foot of the
hill, and its smooth surface reflected the
moon and stars, and every thing was calm
and still but their thoughts. There are
times in the life of man when he has more
to think of than he has to talk about. The
soldiers were in that condition then, and they
stood there long time.
Finally they got up and walked back to
the tree, talked the matter over, and con-
cluded to stay and see what they could find
over the bluff in the morning. When day
light came they went back to the bluff, and
when they looked over almost the first
thing they saw was the remains of rebel
soldier, which had evidently been there fol-
several months, as his legs were partially
covered with earth that had washed down
the hill during the Winter.
Gen. Hatch was sent for; he had his
escort bring the body up to the top of the
hill. when it was found he had been killed
by bullet wound in the right cheek. The
body was fac simile of the object they had
seen. Gen. Hatch had the body buried, and
the ghost was never after seen at Post NO. l.

bodies of severa, of the 18th. Amongst them
