An exchange says: "Out of a past which is far from remote or gray comes the sound of prophecy that certain re- suits of an election would open the doors of the mills and set the wheels of pros perity turning Out of the vivid present comes daily proof, from every side, that the prophecy did not prove any bet ter than the promise of bunco thief " And in the near future we see the shad- ow of mighty army of the discontented arising to redress their wrongs without waiting for prophets or prophecies

We do not believe, says an exchange, that even minister of the gospel has any right to insult his hearers; or sug- gest iniquities or bring the blush of shame to the cheek of innocent youth. Charity is the first law of christianity, "charIty suffereth long and is kind, it exalteth not itself, is not pufed up." After all when q man makes an assertion in the pulpit or elsewhere, he is only stating his belief, arrived at perhaps-to do him justice-after much study and thought; but he should remember there
 are other persons, his equals, perhaps his superiors in intellect and learning who have followed the same line of study and train of thought, and arrived
 at different conclusions. We do not wish to hurt anyones feelings, neither do we like to have our feelings hurt; but our sense of modesty and propriety will not allow us to sit still and fail to enter our feeble protest against this modern GUS. tom of alluding in public discourse to vices and immoralities that should not be discussed in mixed companies. If we were allowed to criticise the clergy even so remotely, we would suggest that they give games and recreations a rest. That they give us more of Gods wonderous love and mercy, and less of his wrath j; that they teach the people to be honest, thoughtful and upright in their dealings, and scrupulously kind one to another; and lastly teach the church to leave gos.

The following from the Cincinnati En. quirer on the arbitration treaty, contains more truth than poetry: "The treaty was not designed by it's English authors to promote peace only when peace might be most convenient tC British interests The senate is not going to be run away with by theorists and Tories, whose great est delight is to talk about the amity which should subsist between the two great English speaking nations. There is probably not another country Tn Eu' rope that hates us more vigorously than England does. There is not a govern ment that has done mora to retard our progress than Great Britain. There is not one which has been guilty of more meanness toward US There Is no other one which would take such delight in the destruction of o1r institutions"

Jumbo of the Forest.

The largest tree in the world lies bro- ken and petrified at the end of defile in northwestern Nevada. Its dimensions are so great that those who know of it's existence hesitate to tell the story be- cause they hardly expect to be believed !; but there is sufficient evidence to give the tale credit, improbable though it may seem, says the Mineral Collector.
 This tree makes the monarchs of the Mariposa grove seem like impostors, and compared to it "the tallest pine grows on Norwegian hills to be the mast of some great admiral" is but wand. As for the story of its discovery, it is thus told by "Dad" Lynn of Fresno, and support ed by the other equally well-known peo- pie:
 "Back in 1860 a company of about forty-fve left Red Bluff to prospect the then unknown country beyond Honey lake and Surprise valley. There were in the party lawyers. butchers and shoe- makers, but we were one sided on one point; each individual felt positive that this was the turning point of his exis- tence, and that bright, shining gold in unlimited quantities would reward the rather unpleasant aunt.
 "The Indians-we call them Banuocks were at that time raising haIr, and very many sudden moves were at times necessary in order to get rid of their un- welcome attentions. Finding but little g Id in this section, we travelled toward Baker county, Or, through a country entirely denuded of tim Der, except few dwarf cottonwoods along the waterways. Close to the Baker county line we came to an opening in the rocks wide enough for our wagons to go through and on either side loomed precipices 500 and 600 feet high. The crevasse was about fifteen miles long, and at it's end just to the right of the trail we found a nun Der of petrifed stumps of different heights and sizes.
 "Ln their midst on the ground lay monster tree, somewhat i'm bedded Tn the soil. It was completely petriied, and from the clean cut fractures of the trunk seemed to have fallen after petrifcation. At it's butt this tree was quite sixty feet in dia meter. We measured it's length with a tape line. It was just 666 feet long. No limbs remained, but in the trunk were clefts where apparently lim bs had broken off Amberlike beads of pet riied pitch or gun adhered to the sides of the trunk for distance of 100 feet or more
 "Where the huge trunk was broken squarely off the center seemed transpar: ent and the growth marks showed in beautiful concentric rings. Its natural appearance WAS handsomer than any dressed marble or mosaic [ have ever seen, and we all expressed the opinion that it would make a wonderful beautiful floor and interior finish for some grand building"

A very fine specimen of coal from the San Carlos coal fields was brought to our office on Tuesday. It IS from a claim in the middle of the field owned by $. Henderson, Chas. Rogers, D Edwards, Lemon and others, who are also jointly interested in mum Der of other claims in the same locality. The sample left with us was taken from three foot ledge at a depth of 30 feet, and the quality is as fine as any coal we have seen from the San Carlos fields. There are two par allel lodges on the claim, one above the other and which have considerable dip. The lower ledge. which has not yet been reached in sinking, is wider than the upper one where they crop, and it is be- lieved to be very valuable deposit.- Arizona Silver Belt.

Two Rabbit Opinions.

An Oil City man liberated number of
western hares near that town about two
years ago, and one of them, or one of
their progeny, was recently killed, the
only proof had that the animals have
been able to stand this climate. The same
gentleman proposes to import number
of pairs of Mongolian pheasants. We
approve OF the pheasants, but it is doubt
full if the hares, in case their introduction
into this section proves a success, will
not become a nuisance, as the rabbits
have been for years. Rabbits have de-
stroyed more young fruit trees in this
section than they are worth, twenty times
over, and the additional protection given
by the new game law was a serious blum
der. MeddUiLLe Tribune.
What the Tribune says may fit the
case for Meadville, but in this section the
fruit trees do not suffer from the en-
croachment of the bunnies. 1t is quite
probable a united effort will be made
next summer by the sportsmen of this
vicinity to propagate game of various
kind in this section.-OU city Blizzard.
What the Blizzard says may fit the
case in Oil City, but in this section the
IF'ibune'S conclusions come the closest.
Rabbits are pest to farmers and others
living in the outskirts, not only in grid
ling young apple trees, but in the de-
struction of vegetables of all kinds, and
ought not to receive the protection of the
law.

A Tioga, Pa, county farmer, who had
been picked out as the prospective victim
of three bunco steerers and who, in pur-
suance of their plan, was permitted to
win $3.50, stopped the game at that point,
and when he announced that he was
ready to resume it, held double barreled
shotgun in his hands. The bunco steer
ers decided that they were looking for
another man and left, minus the $3.50.
This is not the usual ending of enterpris-
es such as theirs, but the result is easily
explained: The prospective victim read
newspapers.
