Isn't that funny ? That party still
seeks to. humiliato us with the negro
and to keep up the strife. We were
hoping that this war would wipe
out all this bitterness, and if it did
it was a war worth fighting but it
looks now like politics is shaping
itself TO continue the sectional strife.
Mr.. Hemphill has been invited up
North to make q speech on fratorna!
union, and maybe he can stop this
agitation and help to give us frater-
nal peace, but / am afraid not. If
it were left to the soldiers we would
have white mans government saol;
as Mr.. Maokintosh desired, but al
ready the contention has begun
whose war is it--who killed cock
robin---what party is to have tho
political benefit of the glory. II
But we shall see what we ehall SEQ.
The smoke ID not cleared away yet.
1t may be that peace is still afar off,
and it the preachers who are writing
about the prophecies are not mis-
taken, the war has just begun. The
fifth vial of St. John is not noar
poured out The preachers amuse
me. When / was young man
Napoleon Bonaparte was proclaimed
as the beast, and his number was six
hundred and sixty and six. They
found the number by giving numori-
cal value to each letter of his name,
and then added them altogether and
actually did make their sum to be
666. But now the Roman Catholic
church is said to be tho beast, and
this war will not end until tho pope
and his church are all annihilated,
and then comes the next vial, which
is to be poured out on Turkey, and
that kingdom is to be annihilated. I
heard preacher say about the time
onr late civil war began that if it
should turn ont that the Lord was
not on our side he would forswear
his religion. But he lived to see his
hopes blasted, and did not forswoar
his religion either. But it humblcd
him and took away his conceit. But
whether the war must go on or not l
pray for peace, for I know that peace
is blessed thing. Peace at home
and peace abroad. We want
no war for glory when it is all mixed
up with tears. Let us stop it just
as soon as possible, prophecy or no
prophecy. Bismarck is dead, and
not long before he died he said "I
take no comfort in anything that l
have done. have provoked ard
fought three wars, in which there
were killed $4,000 men and which
brought rivers of tears. l now be-
lieve these wars could have been
honorably avoided and l have no
pleasure in the memory of them.
But I have made my peace with
God and have his forgiveness"
What an admission for an old
man, a great man, to make. How
different from that of Gladstone.

A Compliment for Maine.

They do some things very well in the
State of Maine. There was Maine regi-
ment in the camp at Chickalnauga that
suffered very seriously from the change of
climate and the perils Of camp life 1t
had lost fourteen men from camp fevers,
had large proportion OF its members in
the hospital, and was losing one man
day. The surgeons said that the best
chance for the sick men was to take them
home. The government gave the invalids
thirty days furlough, and the State Of
Maine hired big engine and seven Pull
man sleeping cars to bring them home.
One hundred and twenty Maine boys sick
with typhoid and malarial feyers and other
diseases, were loaded into that train and
started north. Off they went to Cincin-
natl, to Cleveland to 3utfalo, Albany,
Boston and on to Portland. and the coun-
try of pine trees and granite. Supplies,
ordered by telegraph, were furnished for
them without money or price, chiefly by
the Red Cross. Delayed ten hours at
Cleveland by a break down, their train
was sent to the lake shore, where it cot

soldiers got back to Maine alive and most
Of them improved very decidedly on the

The Elections Returns.

The returns from some parts of the
State come in very slowly, but the figures
received up to Wednesday morning do
not indicate much change in the size Of
the Republican majority announced Tues
day morning as between 25, 900 and 26,-
600.
Our four Congressman are re- elected by
handsome majorities and every county
has been carried. The complexion of the
senate and the House of Representatives
will undoubtedly be solid Republican
