A BATTLE INCIDENT.

A man who had been private in an Illinois cavalry regiment told of an in cident of the battle of Jonesboro. He and his comrades had been dismounted In the edge of thick woods, and dis mounted cavalry are the hardest of troops to rout. In front of them was an open cornfeld a quarter of mile wide, With woods upon its further side. Reinforced by a half dozen companies of infantry possibly 1,500 Federals lay perdu. In blunder, a company of Con- federates, not more than ninety men all told, was ordered to attack. With a yell the handful swept out of the op- posite woods and charged across the field. As a distance of 100 yards single volley disposed of them. Those that were left on their feet wheeled and scampered back to their position. One, however, remained He was the cap tain in command and had been far in advance of his men. When he found himself deserted he stopped and folded his arms. Sixty yards away, alone in the wide field, the summer sun pouring down upon the silver gray of his uni form, he stared stanchly into the eyes of 1,500 foemen. He was only a beard less boy, and the newness of his cloth ing showed that he was but a few days from home. All down the long line of Frederals ran cry: Don't shoot him! Don't shoot him!" He gave the military salute and marched steadily back to his men. Not a gun was fired.-Chicago Times Herald.

LYNCHED THE SPARROW.


 A successful lynching took place on the farm of Jerome Butler south of Mariette, Mich, the other day. In the barn a swallows nest was seen cling ing to the side of a beam, from which was suspended an English sparrow, hung by the neck with hair from a horses tail While Franklin Butler and Orla Albertson were sitting in the barn they noticed a. sparrow go into the swallows nest, from which he began pitching the young birds. Three swallows, attracted by their outcry immediately bounced upon the intruder After confining him to the nest for a few minutes, they threw him out. He dropped about a foot there was jerk and MT. Sparrow Was hanged as nicely as though an expert hangman had been in charge. The hair was wound around his neck several times and, after few intellectual struggles, he kicked his last Grand Rapids Herald.

Yesterdays Stock Market opened Off but
 Closed Firm.
 New York, Sept. 1.-The bear party was better defined and more aggressive in to-day's market than 1t has been for several weeks, and they got the ascen- dant for a time over the large bull con- tingent. The bears made most capital out of the yellow fever outbreak in Mis- sissippi. The stocks of roads which traverse the region immediately infect ed, notably Louisville and Nashville, were most keenly affected. Louisville and Nashville declined at one time two points below Saturdays close, and oth- CT southern reads were more or less affected, the whole market going off in sympathy and with the weight of heavy realizing sales.
 The stock selected to-day for putting up in order to sustain the rest of the market was Northern Pacific. The ap- parent weakness in the earning power of the company was disregarded to- day and the price of the preferrd stock was raised by manipulation four points and that of the common stock about two points. Prices were higher in London before the opening here, and buying for London account was quite a prominent factor during the day. The orders which had accumulated in com mission house offices over the double holiday were also effective at the open ing in helping to rush up prices. l The heavy sales to realize, however, and the yellow fever sentiment soon put stop to the upward movement, and the market was depressed for most of the balance of the day below Satur days close. The buying in Northern Pacific, New York Central, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and the grangers, especially Burling- ton, brought the market back to above Saturdays level of prices, stocks which remained below being exceptional.
 Sugar moved in an cratic manner all day over a range of 21a points, showing strength for the most part. The pre- l ferred stock rose PA. The industrial stocks generally were somewhat neg | lected. Stocks which show sharp losses are the coalers except Reading, Flint and Pere Marquette, Great Northern preferred Minneapolis and St Louis second preferred, Mobile and Ohio, St. Joe and Grand Island second prefer red, Bay State Gas, Linseed Oil, Starch and others to fractional extent. Hooking Valley preferred gained 5%. 1 Railway bonds were less active and easier, Northern Pacific issues showing strength and activity. Total sales s3.- 100000.

Influence Of the Church Papers.

A. A. Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
writing on the election outcome,
says among other things:
"The great weakness of the Pro-
hibition party cause seems to me lies
in the fact that we are antagonlzed
by the great mass of the daily pa
pers, and practically by a greater
number of the church papers. !
have no hesitancy in saying (and ]
am Methodist) that the Christian
Advocates published in New York,
Cincinnati and Chicago have been
more hindrance in the battle against
the drink traffic than all the infu-
ence Of the combined saloon papers
of the United States, for they reach
"a susceptible class Of readers whose
minds are balancing, and they turn
them, not to be opponents OF the
liquor traffic but to be acquiescent
abettors in its legalization. And
he could truthfully have included
the leading church papers of other
as also guilty.
When the places of such editors as
Buckley and Edwards, of the Chris
tan Advocates, and such bishops as
Newman and Vincent of the Metho-
dist church, are filled with men
who are loyal to the principles OF
the Methodist church, as contained
lin the Bible and the Discipline, and
who will not lend their personal OF
official influence to build up a party
con- mitted to the legalization of the
drink traffic, then will the right pre-
vail and that great army OF mislead
people be safely counted as effective
workers against the drink traffic in
any of its legalized forms.
"Bishops who vote and pray for
the success of political party une-
Iquivocally committed to the hcens-
ling of the drink traffic, and look up
on its triumph at the polls as an
answer to their prayers, are more
likely to gerrninate infdels than
Christians, and are on a parallel
with that same class of church lead
ers who, in the great slavery con-
test, were found voting and praying
for parties committed TO the main
tenance Of slavery, and looked upon
the temporary victory OF such party
as an answer to their prayers. But
Judgment day did come, and the
prayers of the righteous, few though
they we're, prevailed, and slavery
was wiped out. ."-Phalanx.

At first blush il would seem that
the cackling hen was vain-glorious
nuisance. But, when you come to
think of it, she is doing the best she
can. She has laid an egg, and she
advertises that fact the best she
knows how. If she were able, she
would undoubtedly mail US q hand
somely engraved card advising US
of the important fact that the egg is
now within the reach of all. Not
being educated up to that point she
is obliged to cackle-
This is where the hen shows her
superiority over the average man.

egg to dispose of says 90, well,

am we'll known, when people
want something they will come af-
ter it. Some people may make
money advertising, I can't. I've got
to wait till business comes to me-"
Go to the hen, thou sluggard;
learn her ways and be wise. Get
up and crow, and lots Of people will
discover that your egg is Just the
thing they need to make their hap
piness complete.

hasn't any egg with which to back
UP her crow.

also Col. iii, IL. These texts teach
that our religion is to be taken into

as well as our prayers, our business
as well as our Bible reading. Can
a man say that he casts his vote for

To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES:
ANONYMOUSLY beaten, in the four
last session. OF Congress, in its
desperate efforts to pass q funding
bill, the Octopus, still determined
to carry the day, has concocted an
artful scheme, innocent on its sur
face, by which it intends to realize
its original aims and maintain the
monopoly and mastery over the
whole Pacific Coast for possibly q
century to come, enslaving and de-
moralizing the people and practi-
cally ruling over them with an iron
rod, besides, in all probability, de-
fraujing the Government in the end
of its just dues.
To have commission to settle
the Central Pacific Indebtedness
would be more dangerous than re-
funding. What has the United
State to settle with Mr.. Huntington,
a debt or a crime? that is the ques-
ton. Plain law, honestly applied,
through foreclosure, will discover
the whereabouts Of the looted Sc
curity, restore it to its rightful own
.er, and thus collect the debt.
What then is there to settle?
Does Congress through this COM
mission propose to usurp the func-
tions Of the Courts? II not what is
there for that body to do? We
criminally punish the compromises
Of felonies. Does Congress intend
to compromise fraud? There is
nothing else TO compromise. Let
; foreclosure 60 on. The debt is
good. Prove to the people that
BEFORE THE LAW Mr.. Hunting
! ION is no better than any one Of the
seventy millions Of individuals that
constitute the United States.
Respectfully submitted,
