very large and fat bird has been bagged by
the hunters and roasted on the gridiron. It
is a very pretty case as it stands, and well
illustrates the game of mining and counter-
mining whlch characterizes the underground
corruptions of our present-politics. But the
day of reckoning for such villainies comes
sooner or later. It is said that Pomeroy,
just returned to Washington, is utterly for-
saken by his friends, and cowers before the
withering of the public contempt. Might
it not be as well for 'our politicians to con
sider that there is such a thing as conscience,
which is a very disturbing force in human
ammo; and such a. thing as honesty which
sometimes, at least, proves to he the best
policy.
The unanimous nomination of Henry P.
Haven for Governor by the Republican Con-
vention, after a more than two-thirds vote
on the first informal ballot, was a surprise
even to his friends. It showed an enthusi-
asm in his favor which wu very gratifying
to them. It was also remarked that his sup-
porters were not confined to any one locality,
but were generally distributed throughout
the State. It cannot be doubted that two
things have contributed to his popularity
and secured his nomination. One is the fact
that he has not been much mixed up with
politics or political rings, and so comes be-
fore the people with an untmnished record.
The late development of corruption in high
places makes the people rather shy of the
politicians. And the other consideration is
that Mr. Haven has been known in the State
as an interprising and Straightforward busi-
ness 1112111. and also as 1111 cfiicicnt worker for
the religious and benevolent institutions of
the State. “'0 see that sortie of the papers

religious matters just now at the M. E.

pastor. On each Sunday evening the church
is crowded with devout hearers, many of
whom have been, through the good influen-
ces exerted,hopefully converted. On stated
evenings during the week meetings for pray-
er and exhortation are held, and already
there are signs of an abundant harvest of
good results.
Last Sunday morning Rev. Dr. Spencer
preached an interesting sermon at Trinity
church, on the para bio of the " Laborers in
the Vineyard." In the evening his subject
was “ Faith in Christ." The Doctor has be-

series of lectures on the Beatitudes.
Rev. B. N. Dunning preached a sermon
last Sunday evening, at the Congregational
church, from these words in the Old Testa-
ment: “ I will remember the years of the
right hand of the Most High,” the subject
being “ Revival Memories," and “ the char-
acteristics of true revivings in religion.”
The sermon was thrown into impressive
form ,by the use of facts and incidents de-
rived from his own pastoral experience, in
illustration of the points. He said many
people are prejudiced against revivals, from
false ideas of what they are, and set forth
their characteristics as follows: lst, Religion
must be felt to bc a reality. 211, A strong
religious yearning on the part of the church
was needed for a higher spiritual life. 31!
A proper sense of dependence on Divine
help. 4111. A revolt against worldliness and

The doctors are not quite sure whether a

Trunks covered with India-rubber are
highly recommended by a Western inventor,
not only for the convenience of the travel-
ing public but for that of railway em-
ployees. It is said that with a little prac-
licc one of these trunks can be made to
bounce into a baggage-car without using
any more force than is expended on the in-
elastic articles How in use.
The last. sensation in Chicago is a trunk

A Philadelphia party is now calling the
attt-ution of the Boston banks to a newly

restore the original writing where a check
has been tampered with.
The \Vasliington correspondent of the
New York Times says: “ The enormity of
the traffic in obscnc literature has been
made so apparent to members of Congress
lately, that many of them express a willing
ncss to vote for any measure that. will put a
stop to it, even to the stretching of a con-
stitutional point, if necessary.”
Rev. Henry “’nrd Beecher takes this
shrewd view of the Mobilicr scandal. Of
the erring Congressmen he says: “ Instead
of uvowing the simple trutl1,as they should
have done, and claiming the right. as much
as any other men, to deal in public securi-
ties. they, with one or two exceptions, equiv-
ocated, seeking to leave upon the public
mind an impression that the charge was
false. The investigation now going on has
exposed these subterfuges.

hausted, bade him place his hands on her
shoulders, and in that Way swam ashore
with him. The other man clung to the
boat and was rescued.
