THE Rev. Mr.. Grober of Grass Valley,
California, is a Methodist preacher who has
earned preferment in any church where the
new commandment is preached. He en-
ployed Chinaman to work in his garden.
The officers of the society called him to ac-
count, and voted to withhold his salary un-
til he discharged from his service the man
and brother who had come over the Pacific.
His response to the threat was brief and
prompt. 81 now answer you once for all,
he said, from his pulpit, ''that this China
man shall stay and I shall continues as pastor
of this church until the Conference sees fit
to otherwise direct me, salary or no salary,

The mysterious and certain death of the ne
gro "Fud'' near the city, the ringing peal of
many pistols in the night time, indicating num-
bers engaged, revive thoughts of the Ku-Klux
Klan. That bloody organization which seemed
to rise up out of the ground as weird spirits
summoned by the wall of imperiled civilization
mingled with the soft muttered prayer of
Southern white women, in those moments

The situation, not their inclinations made
them night-riders. They would have loved to
have done their work in the broad daylight,
but that was to imperil the success of their no
BILE cause. Southern men who have joined in
the abuse of the Klan never had q conception
of the dangers of the precipice upon which
they stood, and from which they were rescued
by many a weary night ride of the devoted
Klan, daring prison walls, death, hell and the
devil.

WHY SECTIONAL HATE SHOULD BE STAMPED OUT.


They teach us that there will ever be discon-
tent wherever there are real or fanced wrongs
that 1t should always be the object Of political
parties and public men to work for the welfare Of
all parts Of our Union that this spirit alone can
preserve its life On the other hand changes
from hostility to our Union to It's warm support
are brought about when the wisdom Of our Gov.
emment dihuses prosperity into every section.
Unless the spirit of sectional hate shall be stamp
ed out as a baleiul fire we do not know In what
quarter 1t may break out and involve us In civil
war The part warns us that the spirit Of patriot.
ism or the spirit Of rebellion have no permanent
seats or no fixed forms for their assertion, Kin
ding sectional hate at the North today is more
dangerous to the peace and prosperity of our
country than the eIhaused passions Of rebellion
which have burned To ashes at the South. The
fact that the principles Of dlsunion were first put
forth at the North is no reason why they should
not be put down when acted upon at the South.
But this fact should make US more tolerant and
give us faith that a love Of union can grow up
there as It did in sections where dlsoyalty was
first displayed, and where reasonable sentiments
we're first Matched out, l believe that ctlebra-
tions of victory gained for the flag Of our Union
by Southern men upon Southern soil will not
only promote iraternal feelings, but by contrast
with events elsewhere will teach all the duty of
forbearanee of moderation and Of devotion to the
interests OF every section of our great country.


All that teaches a knowledge Of our history
tells us that other sections of the country have
virtues as well as our own, and that we have er-
rors 10 atone for as well as they. These truths
make US tolerant and disposed to advance the
interests and welfare Of every section OF our
Union. / am truly yours, &c

temptations, paid the following tribute
to his mother: "My mother asked me
never to use tobacco, and | have never
touched it from that time to the present
day; she asked me not to game, and |
have not, and | can not tell who is win
ming or who is losing in games that can
be played. She admonished me, too,
against drinking, and whatever capacity
for endurance L may have at present,
and whatever usefulness l may attain in
life, attribute to having complied with
her pious and correct wishes. When |
was seven years of age she asked me
not to drink, and then | made resolu-
ton Of total abstinence, at time when
L was sole constituent member of my
own body, and that l adhered to it

"A good housekeeper never allows

Keep an old blanket and sheet on

Keep a heavy stone on your pork to
keep it down; in the summer this stone
is an excellent place to keep fresh meat
