The New Registration Law.

All voters in Louisiana should take no
tice that, in order to he able to vote at
any election in thin state, they must first
register. The old registration papers
upon which they have heretofore voted
are worthless, and new papers must be
taken out.
This is according to act S9,of tho hegis-
lature of 1886. This law, in section 5,
requires that the applicant for registration
with his own hand, and without the die !
tation or suggestion of:ony one, in tho
presenceef the Supervis"rof Registration
or hi. clerks or assistants, shall write and
fill MP the blanks in a pvinted form which
shall setnorth the state and date of birth,
his age, 'the dates during which The has
lived in;the state and parish in wliich he
desires ITO register, and whether or not he
has. ever been convicted of treason, en-
bezzlenent of public funtls, malfeasance
in Office, larceny, bribery, illegal voting,
or other crime punishable by hara labor
or imprisonment in the penitentiary, or
whethcr'ho is :an idiot or insane, such
persons being denied the right to vote.
The applicant is required to make oath to
his statement, and if it befound satisfac-
tory, lie is then admitted to registration.
F; If from any cause the applicant :be un.
;ablo towrite, the Supervisor of Registra-
ton shall read to him the printed ques-
.|'tions, and he may get some other person
to wiite ont the aMswers'of the applicant
for tho.iilling out of the BLANK.
A,gy.srson who, for the purpose Of 'ob-
tanning: a. eertiticate eff registration, shall
swear falsely shall ON conviction be sub
,isct to:a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment
for not less than one year nor more than
five.
There lis abroad a notion that anpli-
cants for registration must>sl.ow receipts
; for their poll tax. This is a.mistake. No
such requirement is made.
: It slloulu be notsl that the method o
l registration is more elaborate and:tkero

"The opening of Lombard university

Several important changes in the al :

/ u made this summer. The partition
back of the stage in the upper hall has
been taken down and the platform is
being extended to the east wall of the
building. A new partition is to be con-

chapel, recitation and music roome. The
school of music is to be given considera-
bly, more accommodations this year than
hitherto.
Another important change will be tt Q

plication of Universalist doctrine. He
was so full of Universalism that he
could not preach a sermon without
making his faith conepicuously appar
emit; vet he did not see occasion uniform
lY to affix the label; and the average of
his pulpit utterances was fervid with
the devout spirit; his Friday evening
meetings in the vestry of the Hanover
Street Church we're Methodistic in
their emotional character. There was
new epoch when the personality of
Mr.. Skinner had created the great
congregation on Warren street, call
ing around him the Caverlys, Temp

drews, Ireland, Norrie, Ford, Dan
forth.--the list could be made much
longer with all of whom Mrs. Skinner
was so we'll acquainted: during the later
period A. A. Miner was preaching to
crowded assemblies on School street.
In those days Bostonians lived in Bos-
ton; their homes were in close touch
with their places of business. Mrs
Skinner lived to see the day when Bos-
toms Protestant congregations for the
most part came ia from the suburbs,
making strange crises in the fate of
most of the Protestant churches. When
those now twentyone years old reach

will they see? Who can tell?"

during her sickness in a chamber not
far from hers, John Freeman Junior put
on the resurrection robe, and went to
tell his father that Mother is just now
coming home There is left of hefamily
the brother Clement and sister Lucy of
Princeton, Illinois. whose loving hearts
are also stayed by the faith that the ia.
ther loved and taught. and lived. OF her
own immediate family. her husband,
worn with excessive devotion in storm
and sunshine, and distance, through all
that vast region" gathered his mantle
about him, and smilin g back into the
faces Of his loved ones the same tender,
cheerful hope that was now their only
comfort, went through the mists to the
peace and the opportunity beyond.
Mre. Nye has known little physical
peace or nearly nine years Confined to
her bed all of this time-most of the
time unable to aid herself in the least.
And yet, she bore all this helplessness
and agony, and fronted the days and
nights of agony to come, with trust
sublime in its power and gentle. inf
mite, tender patience that could have
been known only to one whose heart
rested on the heart of Christ. A few
weeks before her departure. az one of
her daughters was replying for her to
letter of mine, she sent me the following
message while the tears fell over her
wasted cheeks, and she could not eve n
lift her rembling hands. "Tell her tt at
l have home with every comfort, md
that is great deal! Tell her that my
five children are with me; and that
unto me they are goodness's very
self. Tell her that God is good,
and l am happy in the love about
me and can have but the desire to be
free from PAIN" and very soon that de-
sire was granted-August 9th, of this
present summer. Nine years of slowly
dying! To thee. gentle friend, was it
given to know the fullness of the appIi-
cation of the Christian faith.
