VOL. 21—NO. 43. CRAWFORDSYILLE, IND.: JULY 1, 1869. $2 PER YEAR
The Court lloune Snnday School. To the. Editors Crawfordsville Journal:
"Tramp," of tho Review, is disposed to ridicule the attepmt some of our good citizens are making to introduce Christianity and the Bible among the poorer classes of our people. Ite says in his last effusion, "very little good will result from picking up these children and teaching them that their poverty prevents their admission where well-dressed children congregate.''
Now if "Tramp"-had ever taken interest enough in Sunday Schools to ask scholars to attend, he would be aware of tho fact that persons who do solicit scholars among the class of people referred to, are almost always met with the objection that the children have no clothes to wear in which they would like to appear among "well-dressed" children. He does not take into consideration the fact that it is humiliating and embarrassing to children to go among those so much better clad than they, nor I the fact that many of these children groAv up to be eight or nine years old without having learned to read many of them not knowing the alphabet, which even more than their personal appearance makes them feel as if they occupied an inferior social position.
If "Tramp" would study the statis tics of the New York mission schools or could sec Five Points as it was ten years ago, and then see it as it is now or if he would study the statistics of the mission schools scattered all over the country if he could experience the feelings of love and gratitude to God. inspired in scholars and parents, we feel assured that his good sense and education would in future make him refrain from throwing cold water on those who are seeking the greatest good for the greatest number. "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three but the greatest of these is charity."

Three thousand pounds of "fungus" were landed last month in San Francisco, from one ship, hailing from Tahiti. This material is gath ered from trees iu the southern part of the Society Islands, and packed in bags woven from slips of booroa bark, from the wood of which orange crates are made. This fungus is in appearance like very thin and dirty India rubber. It is shipped to China for use in making "soup." The value is about 12^ cents per pound at the Islands, and about 100,000 pounds are produced there annually.
There are over 1,000,000 of people on the .Pacific slope. San Francisco, not 25 years old, has 150,000 inhabitants. Her manufactures amount to $30,000,000. The Pacific slope exports §50,000,000 to .$60,000 of bullion annually. The wheat crop of California and Oregon is 25,000,000 bushels in a year. San Francisco, in one year, loaded 100 vessels for China, and exported $10,000,000 worth of merchandise and minerals to that country.
An old sow tried to eat a little boy seven years old, named Asa Morton, at Princeton, last week. Had not a colored man happened along at the moment he would have been killed. He was down in the gutter and the forocious animal was preparing to fasten her jaws on his neck.
The South Carolina papers report two decees of divorce granted by a court in their State, they being the first divorces ever decreed by a court in South Carolina. In one of these cases the parties resided in Philadelphia the other was between parties native to South Carolina.
The St. Augustine Examiner says: "The orange crop will not be a failure, as was anticipated from the Winter's frost. The trees are loking well, and the fruit seems to be in abundance. We are informed that some of the groves in this county on the St. John's will bear larger crops than last year."
The Mayor of Washington has signed an ordinance of the City Council, requiring proprietors of public houses of amusement to make no distinction between whites and blacks, ander penalty of being fined 810 for each offense.

An exchange gravely says that the President erred in appointing Dunn— a coal-black negro—Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. We had always supposed that Governor Dunn was elected by the people of that State. "What do you think of my sermon on the existence of God said the Bishop of Oxford to a friend. "Very good, Bishop but still I think there is a God, notwithstanding your arguments ."

The most consummate coolness we have heard of was that of a steerage passenger asleep in a raging storm. "Wake up!" cried one of the passengers, "the ship is sinking!" "Well, what is the use of waking, then?" he answered, as he turned over for another nap.
At the Woman's Bureau, in New York, a new society called the "Euna delphce" was formed, and Miss Anna Dickinson elected President. Unadelphse means "a well-disposed sister hood," and it differs from the Sorosis in the point that its members must believe in woman suffrage.
Governor Sprague is at his summer residence at Aiken, S. C., recruiting from the effects of his herculean efforts in the Senate. He will be joined in a few days by his proprietor, Chief Justice Chase, whose daughter he married, who at last accounts had not become President of the United States.
Time has been called the "tomb builder," but it sometimes makes great changes with the living. Ten years ago Robert Toombs arose in the U. S. Senate and boasted that he would call the roll of his slaves under Bunker Hill Monument. Now he asks a glore?l postmaster, one of those same" slaves, for his letters at Macon, Georgia.
A Nebraska editor says: "Hell is treelessand taking that original assertion for a text, he warmly exhorts his readers to plant trees. We fancy the similarity between the two does not stop with the absence of trees. Nevertheless, let them plant trees. It is well to differ in as many points aa possible.

The Attica Ledger tells the following: About a year ago, a couple well known in this town were married. The bride's age, at the time she wedded, showed an even number of days, months and years the groom's, odd numbers. The initials of the two are the same. One year from the marriage day an anniversary party was to be had, when the lady, (a day or two ago,) presented her husband with a fine boy. Now if this case doesn't show exactness,precision and propmtness throughout, we don't know anything about it. It ranks as the world's eighth wonder, and shows a most remarkable harmony of domestic arrangements.
