lHE spirit OF self>sscrifcc is one of the
great beauties of holiness. Husband
yielding to wife, vie ts husband; brother
to brother; sister to sister; friend to
friend, in greAt things, but in small
especially. First and foremost, zee that
the spirit is with you at home; then
carry it abroad into the world. II is a
spirit that will sweeten happiness and
brighten troubles; and when the soul is
ready to wing its fight to its eternal
home, it will have the unspeakable con
ISOLATION of knowing that it has not lived
TO itself; that 1t has left the world
happier and better in some degree than
it found it that it mas been faithful to
its earthly mission.

One mean man in a community
can do an immense deal Of mischief,
just as one able-bodied man can tear
down more than twenty can build
up. We hear of one neighborhOod
in Platte county kept in continual
stew by the wilful littleness Of one
man. Nothing of public nature
can take place in the neighborhood
without unwarrantable interference
on his part. The public roads, the
bridges receive large share of his
intermeddling, and i'm slack times
the school teacher comes in for q
portion. There are "bullies" of
different kinds, physical, mental and
moral, so to speak, and they need,
wherever found, a similar treatment,
quiet snub, until they get too
close, and then substantial, COM
plete, square knock-down. 1t is
about the only kind of treatment
they will respect. The physical
bully needs to feel the heavy weight
of better muscle ; the mental bully,
the keen, sharp sword of a brainy
contestant; and the moral bully, the
opening up TO the public gaze, in all
the fullness of its enormity, his
inner, hideous nature. These men
are all sensitive to public opinion,
and good, square Touchdown
puts them in most ludicrous posi-
tion, and breaks the backbone of
their meanncss.

About ten weeks ago a man by
the name of Potts, who lately resid-
ed near David City, in company
with his wife and Mr.. and Mrs.
Warner went into Greeley county
to seek location for homestead.
Mr.. Warner had before selected
a place in Boone Co., where he now
resides. Potts made choice of a
piece of land and with his wife, in a
covered wagon, with a good team of
horses, started for Grand Island to
make entry on the land. He was
TO write to Warner as soon as he
got to Grand Island, but nothing
has been heard from them since and
it is feared that some mishap has
Overtaken them.

Doubtless large and appreciative audi
ence will greet the Secretary of State to-
night and listen eagerly to his speech. Mr..
Evarts has the happy tact not only to stim-
ulate but also to reward the curiosity of
his hearers. His last public address to a
New York audience was on the eve of the
last Presidential election, and he answered
then the inquiries of number of citizens
as to what would happen to tho country in
case Mr.. Tilden were elected. Tonight he
comes to give us all his opinion on the con-
dition of the country and to declare the
purposes of the administration upon the
leading questions of the day.


MIR. Evarts once very emphatically de-
clared these purposes to- be to complete
the resumption OF specie payments. to ma
tionalize the republican party and to liber-
ate the voters of the country from the con-
troll Of the politicians.e It was remarked at
the time by a cynical person that the ad-
ministration had undertaken pretty large
contract ; but this fact serves now only to
add zest to the prospect of the speech we
are promised. Mr.. Evarts, who is the most
charming optimist in the country, will give
an account to New York of how admirably
matters are going on in the best of all pos
sible worlds, and we shall be disappointed
If he does not send his audience home
wondering how it is that any of them ever
grumbled at the hard times or at the wick
edness Of the politicians.

The approach of the storm that swept
over the Atlantic coast and the Middle
and New England States during yes
our columns, and timely warning given
of its course and character. The narrow
ing between the lakes and Florida of
the zone of high barometer during Sun
day last indicated the advance from the
West Indies of a disturbance of consider
able energy. This fact we duly noted, and
as the indications of the storms approach
developed into unmistakable evidence of its
movement toward our coasts we gave notice
Of the danger that threatened. As the
phenomena of storm movements on the
Atlantic coast repeat themselves it is not
difficult to anticipate the changes that will
occur and prepare for them. In this case
it was absolutely certain that the storm
from the West Indies would hug the coast
line, because north and east of its centre an
extensive area Of high barometer presented
q positive barrier to it's movement in a more
northeasterly direction than the one it has
followed. On the other hand, depression

disturbance was moving to meet the cyclone.
and when the union took place between
them the region OF first contact naturally
experienced fierce gales and heavy rainfall.
Our dispatches from the various dis
tricts affected show how damaging was the
storm both inland and on the coasts. The
prostration Of the telegraph wires, however,
limits the area from which reports can be
got, and really cuts off communicate with
all the country south of the lake shore and
New York State. Locally the big blow was
very severe, as our reports will show. If
vessels put to sea on Tuesday in the
face Of our warning their. commanders
certainly took all the risks of shipwreck.
Timely notice of the storms movement was
cabled to our London Bureau on Monday
night, and Immediately telegraphed to
every important port, so that vessels bound
west from Europe, and that left on Tues
day, are informed of the dangers they may
encounter in midocean.

The runaway in Central Park. which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. Patrick Butler,
and, later, Of his.wife, was only one of
have become too common to escape serious
apprehension. On Tuesday Mme Modjeska
narrowly escaped injury by runaway
horse; recently dangerous upset occurred
in Brooklyn, while accidents more or
less dangerous happen every day in our
city streets. Some of them are due to fast
driving, which is practised at Central Park,
on the avenues and on whatever streets
have good surface, although there are
ordinances known to the police forbidding
any rate Of speed that is at all dangerous.
Why do not the police do their duty
Are they afraid to stop reckless drivers, or
do they compromise such cases instead of
reporting them SO that they may be brought
to justice? And what are the police
in the Park doing that they can
not prevent accidents like that which
befell Mr.. and Mrs. Butler and Nine.
Modjeska? The pedestrians in the Park
need no watching; the attention of tho

driveways, so that they may be ready
either to warn or to rescue. Outside the
Park the dangers of carriage riding are
more attributable to the condition of the
streets than to anything else. 1t is almost
impossible to find a street of any length
which is not dangerous in some way to
wheeled vehicles. Some of them have de-
fective pavements, full Of ruts and holes !;
in others repairs are going on, and driver
turns suddenly from street or avenue to
find blockade of cross bars or stone heaps,
while the distractions which builders are
allowed to accumulate are too numerous
and varied to be- specified. The certainty
of safety can be found only in slow driving
and the closest police supervision Of every
public driveway, and those who are too
reckless to be cautious or to respect the
city ordinances upon driving should be
brought to justice, in spite of their wealth,
social position or any other seeming pallia-
tion Of their offences.

THE FUNERAL CEREMONIES at Orleans yester-
day over the remains of Archbishop Dupanloup
were in their pomp and solemnity worthy of
the great and upright French cleric who loved
his country too well to make it politically q

churchman of the severest stripe. In all the
bishops and dignitares around his coffin not one
was his peer. Had. his sagacity led him a step

The CHEYENNEs HAVE CROSSED the Missouri
River and are well on their way to Sitting Bulls
camp. 1t appears that these hostiles crossed
the Yellowstone n week ago, and came upon
General Miles without warning from General
Gibbon. 1t is remarkable fact that our Off
GERS pay more attention to their own quarrels
and jealousies than to the important duty
assigned them in watching the red men. At
least that is the inference to be drawn from the
statements made in our Bismarck despatch.

The WEATHER.-The movement of the cy-
slonic storm along the Atlantic coast has been
very rapid and attended with unusually heavy
rains and violent gales. The storm over
The land was largely increased by the move
ment eastward of a considerable depression
from the region of the lakes. When the cyclone
margin reached that of the depression the two
areas of low pressure united and formed
IN elongated trough which extended
nearly north and south from the Caro-
linas far into Upper Canada. In the
rearrangement Of the pressures the violent local
gales were experienced over Pennsylvania,
New York and generally along the Atlantic
coast from Cape Hattcras to Cape Cod. Vest
ward Of the storm centre the pressure rises
briskly, except in the upper Mississippi Valley,
and is high over the Rocky Mountain region
southwark of Montana Territory. Another de-
preston has moved into the region north of
Lake Superior and will probably merge with
that now In Upper Canada. tho whole forming
m area of disturbance unusually extensive.
The pressure is also high over Newfound-
land and southoastward from that island.
This insurcs continuance of the gales
and heavy winds for several days along
the New England, New Brunswick and New
foundand coasts When the storm moves into
the Atlantic its energy may be reduced tem-
,orarily. but it will not lose its dangerous
character. The temperature in the Northwest
y low. Elsewhere it is very uniform. The
weather in New York and it's vicinity to-day
will be colder and cloudy, or partly cloudy,
with moderate southwest to strong northwest
winds and, possibly, occasional light rains. To-
morrow it will be cool and clearing, with strong
northwcsterly winds.

1t seems to us as though those church
people ut Austin are going Il good ways,
and resorting to rather mean ends, to
get Old Hotch out Of church, Judging
from their specifications and Charges
against him. 1t would seem rs though
the church had perched itself upon 4:

get rid of the old veteran because he
owns his mouth and tells great many
true stories. We don't like Hotch's
course in che least, but we think less Of
the way the church is handling him.
Windom Reporter.


We have read the specifications
against the editor of the Republican
upon which lie was suspended from the
Congregational Union Church of Aus
tin and they are to this effect, viz: that
lie used strong language, but not bud
language, in opposing the bond propo-
sition and the Mower County Ring.
lie is not charged with immortality.
lie has been suspended for daring to
conduct his paper Independently.
The church was controlled by ring
politicians who took this method to
punish the editor for h,s independence.


In every respect this case is almost
an exact parallel to what occurred here
in Worthington. There it was the
Congregational Union Church. Here
it was the Union Congregational
Church. There the county Ring and
their editor kept complaining to the
church. Here they did the same.
There the church, caring more for pol
icy and popularity than for religion
and right, yielded to the tl+mal ds of
corrupt politicians. Here the church,
governed by policy and seeking popu-
larity more than religion and right, al.
50 yielded to the politicians.

Ravel out the suspected cotton fiber
from the wool and apply flame. The
cotton will burn with flash, the wool
will curl up, carbonize, and emit a
burned, disagreeable smell. Even to
the naked eye the cotton is noticeably
different from the flaments of wool,
and under the microscope this differ
ence comes out strongly. The cotton
is fattened, more OF less twisted band,
having very striking resemblance to
hair. which, in reality it is; since, in
the condition Of elongated cells, it lines
the inner surface Of the pod. The wool
may be recognized at once by the zig
gag transverse markings on lis fibers.
The surface of wool is cover d with
these fuTTowed and twisted fine cross
lines, Of which there are 1000 to 1900
in an inch. On this structure depends
its felting property. Finally, simple
and very striking chemical test may be
applied. The mixed goods are Un-
ravelied, a little of the cotton fiber put
into one dish and the wool into anOth.
er, and a drop Of strong nitric acid
added. The cotton will be little or not
at all affected; the wool, on the con-
trary, will lie changed to a bright yell
low. The color is due to the develop
ment Of a Ficrate.-youHalO Of Chemistry.
