Governor Frank w. Rollins Of
New Hampshire, in his proclamation
of few Gay S ago, says that religion
ia his State and other New England
States is oD the decline and draws a
very dark picture. He says "there
are towns where no church bell sends
forth its solemn call from January to
January; there are villages where
children grow to manhood unchrist-
ened: there are communities where
the dead are laid away without the
benson of the name of Christ, and
where marriages are solemnized only
by justices Of the peace. This Is q
matter worthy of your thoughtful
consideration, citizens of New Hamp-
shire. Ii does not augur well for the
FUTURE Still we have foreign mis-.
sions, and light at home it looks like
they are needed.

The trial of Mrs. George for the
killing of George d. Saxton, brother
of Mrs. Mckinley, is now going on
at Canton, Ohio, and it is to be hoped
that this woman will be acquitted.
Saxton was brute of the deepest
dye, having ruined several woman
under the pretense of marriage. He
was summed by the respectable peo-
ple of Canton and no society would
admit him. When ladies, who knew
him, would sec this man coming, they
would either go into a store, take

to avoid meeting this man, who was
ostracized by all decent people.

A BOOK ON OUR LEEvEEs.

Under the abover caption our readers
will find spledid endorsement OF a
proposed litcrerary and statistical
work by Mr.. Frank I'll. Tompkins from
the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The array of names of Presidents OF
fiscal and commercial bodies is truly
inspiring and demonstrates that these
gentlemen. so prominently identified
with the valley, appreciate all oppor-
tunity to advance before Congress the
cause of levers and the improvement
of the Mississippi river.
Mr.. Temp kins' connection with the
rivers cause dates back to 1891. when
the people of the valley through the
then recently organized Levee Asso-
citation were making strenuous efforts
to assist our able delegation from the
