UNCONVENTIONAL STRIFE.

sufficient for the day is the evil
strife" is truism that the people of
Michigan, and in fact the people of
every community, state and county
should keep in remembrance. The ca
lamity bowler, however, is always on the
warpath whatever may be his theme,
whether it is the political "cussedness"
of those who oppose him in political
faith and the consequent upheaval of
our civil government, the pessimist,
who believes that everything in gener-
al "Bow-wows," or the religious crank,
who is opposed to every one that does
not believe in all the religious rights,
ceremonies, etc. to which he or her
church adhere. The latter, we believe,
is one of the most hurtful specimens
of the class of individuals to which we
refer. If there is any community over
which the spirit of humanity and peace
should hover, it is one that processes
christianity. Though the forms of wor-
ship may not be the same, the same
supreme being is the object of regener
alton by the whole christian world to-
day. Who can say which is right or
which is wrong in their mode of wor-
ship. All take the Bible for their
guide, and although there are diversi-
fled opinions regarding the minor
points, all are agreed as to the vital
issue.
When church and state went hand in
hand, in Rome, not to be Roman
was as bad as crime, i'll England not
to belong to the mother church at one
time in its history, was equally as bad,
and even in America, our fore-fathers,
who sought refuge where they should
be free from oppression, the sanctity of
religious freedom was trampled in the
dust.
But all this has changed. America,
the pride of the nation of the world
to-day in that mighty constitution,
written with the blood of our ancestors.
has burst the chains and shackles of
tyranny, both of state and church, and
guarantees to every man the invalu-
able right to worship God as his con-
science dictates. We can see no danger
impending from the power of any de-
nomination. Let any religious oil
garchy spring up and try to dictate to
a nation in which the children with
their first breath inhale the air of free
dom and what would be the result?
The nation would rise as one man and
with religious indignation, like that
which struck the letters from our an
cestry, crush it as the foot of man
brushes the serpent's head. Then why
need be alarmed? Why stir up strife
between neighbors and friends? There
is certainly no danger then alarm is
unnecessary.
Religious animosity between neigh
bors and friends is an injury to bust
ness relations, the up.building Of our
village, and above all, it Injuries the
moral and religious sentiments, for no
one can be christian with enmity in
his heart towards his neighbor, which
is the tendency of the world to-day.
Religious superstitions are fast passing
away and the time is coming when a
man who processes christianity will be
looked upon as a christian, not as a
member of some religious denomina-
ton.

A Queer (?) Medicine.

There is a medicine whose proprletors
do not claim to have discovered some
hitherto unknown ingredient. or that
it is n cure-all. This honest medicine
only claims to cure certain diseases,
and that its ingredients are recognized
by the most skilled physicians as being
the best for Kidney and Bladder dis
eases. Il is Foley's Kidney Cure.

n. 8 o. Imnrovements,

The work of Strengthening the track and
reducing the grade at Tabs Station on the
second division of the Baltimore & Ohio
| railroad was recently completed, and the
first train to use the new line was No. !, the
New York and St. Louis flyer. A heavy
grade ard three bad curves have been elm
mated by this work A mile east, at Meyers
Hole, a similar improvement has also been
completed after months of work. Several
reverse curves and nasty and dangerous
dip are done away with at this point. Near
Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of the
track is being materially changed, and, as in
the other two improvements, bad grades
and sharp, annoying curves are being re-
moved. This part of the work will be done
in sixty days and then series of very dan
gerous places will have been entirely re-
moved. This work in its entirety means the
hauling of several additional cars in each
freight train, besides reducing the danger
of derailments to almost nothing. The Sec
ond division, running from Cumberland to
Brunswick, will soon be in Erst-class con-
dition and more cheaply operated than
ever.

The Great Seal.

As the lord chancellor must have the
great seal in his personal custody, he is
the only member of the British cabinet
who is not allowed to go outside OF
Great Britain. When Cardinal WoIsey
was lord chancellor he took it with him
on visit to France, and thereby hast
ened his fall, in the opinion of many.
The great seal, which is a double silver
die into which molten wax is poured
when an impression is required for a
state document, was once used for cult
nary purposes. While Lord Chancellor
Brougham was staying, in 1888, in
Rothiemurchus, the Scottish residence
of the then Dowager Duches of Bed
ford, the ladies of the party got posses
sion of the great seal, and hid it, much
to the lord keepers distress of mind,
for he feared it was lost. He was blind
folded by the ladies, and sent to search
for it in the drawing-room. At last, to
his intense joy, he dragged it forth
from tea-chest, and then, to celebrate
its recovery, used it for making pam
cakes in the kitchen.-N. Y. Tribune.
