Nearly every white man in the county is a Republican, and the appointment has raised a storm of indignation. A vigorous protest from the white Republicans of the county will be forwarded to Washington at once.

A dispatch from Atchison, Kas. Thursday, says: The Sac and Fox Indian reservation in Kansas, on the Nebraska line, just north of Donophan and Brown counties, has become the resort for thugs, thieves, murderers horse thie^ es and desperadoes. They carry on tneir warfare so boldly and successful! against the honest farmers that an effort will be made to have the reservation removed. Farmers and everybody are held up, robbed and sometimes murdered. A few days ago two farmers were held uo and robbed of everything they had. The inhabitants live in mortal terror of these criminals.

The provisions of the United States statutes against the importation of contract laborers are tolerably well understood throughout Europe by this time, and circulars have been dispatched by

the steamship lines to immigration I agents in the interior to instruct prospective passengers as to the answers they must make to impertinent questions propounded by the authorities on their arrival at American ports. It is safe to say that the law will be successfully evaded henceforth. The .lines running to Canadian ports anticipate a largely increased business in the future, and many who were refused a landing at New York and Boston have taken this indirect route to the States. The principal increase to their traffic will, however, come from assisted immigration, which is assuming serious proportions. The undesirable classes sent away from Ireland and England by poor law guardians, and the societies formed for that purpose are directed to Quebec and thence across the line, thus evading any inqniry as to their status.

Boulanger is summoned to appear within ten days for trial upon charges of attempted revolution and embezzlement. The latter charge relates to the purchase of camp bedsteads and other supplies for the troops, and to malversation of the funds of the war ministry. If he does not appear within twenty days he will be declared an outlaw and his property confiscated.

Pope Leo XIII has sent an autograph letter to the authorities of Laval University thanking them and the citizens of Quebec for the resolutions adopted by them at the demonstration on April 28 last in favor of the rest oration of the temporal power of the Pope. His Holiness congratulates them not only upon their prudence, but upon the sagacity of their action, and says it is evident that they well understand how the impunity enjoyed by the enemies of the church is the source of improprieties in human society and of troubles to the State.

SULLIVAN IS ARRESTED.

The Big Slugger Taken into Custody at Nashville. He Makes Ready to Strike a Policeman but Changes His Mind.

When the north bound L. & N. train pulled into Nashville, Tenn., at 10:33 Thursday morning, a crowd of people surged around the car to see John L, Sullivan, who was known to be on board. A rumor soon obtained circulation that a requisition was in the hands of the police, several of whom had boarded the car. Some discussion and finally a struggle was seen in the car, and an officer cached over with handcuff's in his hand, and seizing the slugger's arm pulled him out into the aisle of the car.

Sullivan resisted. Mike Muldoon, who occupied the same seat, put his bead out of the window and cried to the crowd: "Gentlemen, I demand American protection." His patriotic wail was greeted with a variety of responses. Some cheered Sullivan and begged him to "knock the coppers out others cried, "Hurrah for the Nashville police," "Hit him with your club," etc. One youngster who was banging on the outside of the car window, ducked his head behind the sill and informed the crowd that "the cops have out their guns." After a brief struggle, Sullivan waa taken from the car and hurried to a carriage.

In the scuffle he drew back to knock down a policeman, when Chief Clack stuck a pistol in his face and told him if he struck, he, Clack, would kill him. The officers next grabbed Charley Johnson, of Brooklyn, Sullivan's backer, who resisted vigorously, but finallv began to cry with pain. During all this scrimmage Muldoon sat quietly by and was undisturbed. Mike Clearv, Sullivan's other second, hid, in the' excitement, and another named Lynch jumped off the train.

Only Johnson and Sullivan were detained though the others weie wanted. The arrest was made by the authority of a telegram from Governor Lowry, of Mississippi, to tne Nashville police. Sullivan has retained ex-Attorney General W. H. Washington, who says that the officers went beyond their authority and can not hold their men. An immediate attempt will be made to get the narties out on a writ of habeas corpus. Governor Lowry's telegram offers a reward of $1,000, and it is believed that if released on the present charge Sullivan will be re-arrested in order tc secure time for a requisition to be obtained.

Sullivan and party were at once taken before Judge McAllister of the circuit court, on a petition for release on habeas corpus. Arguments were made and the Judge granted the application. The party took the next train for the East The town was his until his train palled oat.

'THE TREE ^RANCHES.

PEACE IS TOLD BY THE OLIVE BRANCH. •S.f

The Pine Tree, tbe Emblem of Health—Palm Denotes Victory Wo-'i. Etc.—Rev. Dr. Talmage'a

Sermon.

Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at the Hampton's last Sunday, Subject: "The Bower of Tree-Branches. Text Jeremiah viii., 15. He said:

Well, now we are to-day to construct a gospel arbor, or gospel booth, and how dhall we construct it? Well, we must ^et all the tree branches and build. According to my text, we must go up into the mount and bring olive brances. W bat doss that mean? The olive tree rows iu warm climates, and it reaches ttirt height of twenty or twenty-two feet, »traigftt stem, and then an offshoot from that stem. And then people come ami tney strip off these breaches some tunes, and when in time of war the General of one army takes ones of these oiive branches and goes out to the General of another army, what does that mean? Why, it means unsaddle the war chargers. It means hang up the taap3acks. It is but a beautiful way of saying, Peace!

N :w, if we are to-day going to succeed in building this gospel arbor, we must go into the Mount of God's blessing, a ad fetch the olive branches, and whatever el3e we must have, we must have at least two olive branches—peace with God aud peace with man. When I say peacd with God, I do not mean to represent God as a bloody cheiftain, having a grudge against us, but I do mean to affirm there ia no more antagonism between a hound and a hare, between a hawk and a pullet, between elephant and swine, than there is hostility between holiness and sin. And if God is ail holiness, and we are all sin, there must be a reconstruction, there must be a treaty, there must be a stretching forth of olive branches. There ia a great lawsuit going on now, aad it is a lawsuit which man is bringing against his Maker that lawsuit is now on the calendar. It the human versus the divine it is iniquity versus the immaculate it is weakness versus omnipotence. Mau began it God did not begin the lawsuit. We began it we assaulted our Maker, and the sooner we end this part of the struggle in which the finite attempts to overthrow the infinite and omnipotent, the sooner we end it the better.

Travelers tell us that there is no 3uch place as Mount Calvary, that it is only a hill, only an insignificant hill but I persist in calling it the mount of God's divine mercy and love, far grander than any other place on earth, grander than the Alps or Himalayas, and there are no other hills as compared with it and I have no iced in every sect where the Cross of Christ is set forth it is planted with olive branches. And all we have to do is to get rid of this war between God and ourselves, of which we are all tired. We want to back out of the war, we want get rid of this hostility. All we have to do is just to get up on the mount of God's blessing and pluck these olive branches and wave them before the throne. Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ!

But then we must have that other olive branch, peace with man. Now it is very easy to get up a quarrel. There are gunpowderly Christians all around us, and one match of provocation will 3et them oft. It is ea3/ enough to get up a quarrel. But, my brother, don't you thine: you had better have your horns sawed offHad you not better make an apology? Had you not better submit to a little humiliation? Oh, you say, until that man takes the first step I will never be at peace with him nothing will he done until he is ready to take the first step. You are a pretty Christian. When would this world be saved if Christ had, not taken the first Btep? We are in the wrong, Christ was in the right—all right and forever right. And yet he took the first step. And instead' of going and getting a knotty scourge with which to whip your antagonist, your enemy, you had better get up on the radiant mount where Christ suffered for his enemies, and just take an olive branch, not stripping off the soft, cool, fragrant leaves but leaving them ail on, and then try on them that gospel switch. It won't hurt them, and it will save you. Peace with God, peace with man. If you can not take those two doctrines you are no Christian.

But my text goes further. It says: Go up into the mountain and fetch olive branches and pine branches. Now what is suggested by the pine branches? The pine tree is healthy it is aromatic it is evergreen. How often the physician savs to his invalid patients: "Go and have a breath of the pines! That will invigorate you." Why do such thousands of people go south every year? It is not merely to get to a warmer climate, but it is to get the influence of the pines, There is health in it, and this pine branch of the text suggests the healthfulness of our holy religion it is full of health, health for all, health for the mind, health for the soul. But this pine branch of my text also suggests the simple fact that it is an evergreen. What does this pine branch care for the snow on its brow? It is only a crown of glory. The winter can not freeze it out. T*hi3 evergreen tree branch is as beautiful in winter as it is in the su nmer. And that is the characteristic of our holy religion in the sharpest, coldest winter of misfortune and disaster it is as good a religion as it is in the brightest sunshine. Well, now that is a practical truth, For if I should go up and down these aisles I would not find in this house fifty people who had had no trouble. But there are some of you who have especial trouble. God oniy knows what yon go through with. Oh, how many bereavements, how many poverties, now many persecutions! How many misrepresentations! Aud now, my brother, you have tried everything else, why don't you try this evergreen religion? It is just ts good for you now as it was in the days of your prosperity.

You may have had accumulation sorrow ana misfortune. They come in flocks, they come in herds upon your soul and yet I have to tell you that this religion can console you. That it can help you, that it can deliver you if nothing else will. Do you tell me that t! riches and the gain of this world cm: console you? How was it with the ma. who had such a fondness for morie that when he was sick he ordered oasin of go'.d pieces to be brought tu him, and he nut his gouty hands dow

among the gold pieces, cooling his hands off in them, aud the rattle and ro'ling of these gold pieces were his amusement aad entertainment. Ah, the gold and silver, the honors, the emoluments of thiB world area poor solace for a perturbed spirit.

Bat my text takes a further step and it says: "Go into the mountain, and fetch olive branches and pine branches and palm branches." Now. the palmtree was very much honored by the ancients. It had 360 different use3. The fruit was conserved the sap was a beverage the stems were ground up for food for camels the base was turned into hats and mats and baskets, and the leaves were carried in victorious processions, and from the root to the top of the highest leaf there was usefulness. The tree grew eighty-five feet in height sometime*, and it spread broad leaves four and five yards long it meant usefulness, and it meant victory—usefulness for what it produced, victory because it was brought into celebrations of triumph.

And, ho, how much we want the palm branches in the Churches of Jesus Christ at this time! A great many Christain's don't amount to anything. You have to shove them out of the way when the Lord's chariots come along. We don't want any more of that kind of Christains in the church.

Uo. fulness is typified bv the palmtree. Ah, we don't want in the church any more people that are merely weeping willows, Eighing into the water, standing and admiring their long lashes in the glassy spring. No wild cherry, dropping bitter fruit. We want palmtrees, holding something for God, something for angels, something for man. I am tired and sick of this flat, tame, ininsipid, satin-slippered, namby-pamby, highty-tighty religion! It is worth nothing for this work', and it is destruction for eternity.

Give me 500 men and women fully consecrated to Christ, and we will take any city for God in three years. Give me 10,000 men and women fully up to theChristain standard in ten years 10,000 of them would take the whoie earth for God. But when are we going to begin? Oh, that you have the decision to say "To-day, novs!" Go now into the nouat and gather the palm branches, tint the palm branches aiso means victory. We are by nature the servants ot Satan. Jle stole us. he has his eye on us, he want3 to keep us.

The words comes irom our Father that if we will try to break loose from this doing of wrong, our Father will help us, and some day we rouse up, and we look the black tyrant in the face,and we fly at him, and we wrestle him down, and we put our heel on his neck, and we grind him in the dust, and we say, Victory, victory,through our Lord Jesus Christ! Oh, what a grand thing it is to have sin under foot and a waisted lire behind our back.

Don't you think we hail better begin now to celebrate the coming victory? In the oid meeting house at Summerville, my father used to lead the singing, and he had the old fashioned tuning fork, and he would strike it upon his knee, and then put the tuning fork to his ear to catch the right pitch and start the hymn. But, friend, don't you think we had «etter be catching the pitch of the everlasting song, the song of victory when we shall be more than conquerors? dad we not better begin the rehearsal on earth?

My text brings up one step further. It says, go fortn into the mount and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees. No v, you know very well that a booth or arbor made of light branches would not Btand. The first blast oi tbe tempt-si would prostrate it. So then the booth or arbor must have four stout poles to hold up the arbor or booth and hence for the building of the arbor for this world we must have stout branches of thick trees. And so it is in the gospel arbor. Blessed be God that we have a brawny Christianity, not one easily upset." The storm of life will come upon us, and we want strong doctrine not only love, but justica not only invitation but warnini. it is a mighty gospel it is an omnipotent gospel. There »re the stout branches of thick trees. Oh, it is a mighty gospel not only an invitation, but a warning, an omnipotent truth, stout branches of thick trees. Well, my friends, I have shown you here is the olive branch of peace, here is the pine branch of evergreen gospel couto ation, here the palm tree branch of usefulness and victory, and here are the stout branches of thick trees. The go?vol arbor is done. The air is aromatic of heaven. The leaves rustle with the gladness of God. Come into the arbor.

A MODERN CHRIST.

His Success in Gulling Negroes and Inducing Tliem to Pay 85 a Pair for Angel Wings.

Liberty county, Ga., is greatly excited over the proceedings of a man calling himself Dupont Ball, who claims to be the new Messiah, and hails from Circleville, 0. He is a tall, sallow individual, with long, black hair, and has succeeded in working the negroes of that section up to such a point that white people are afraid of serious trouble. Senator Bradwell, who lives at Hinesville, has been kept informed as to the latest develop-, ments in the case. "This man Bell," he said, "appearedsuddenly in Liberty county six weeks ago. He proclaimed himself to be the Son of God, and the negroes at once went mad over him. They deserted their fields to follow him, and to listens to his ranting?, and now things are so bad that it is impossible to get hands on.... the plantations near Riceborough, and some of the crops are being ruined. The negroes kneel before him, and struggle with each other for the privilege of kissing his feet. He has told them that the judgment will be here the 16th of August, He says that the white people have enjoyed their paradise on earth for the past eighteen centuries, and now it will be the black man's turn. On the eagerly-looked-for 16th every white man will be turned black and every black man will become white. This prospect can not be cheering to Bel], whose skin is white. He says his body was born thirty years ago in Ohio, but his soul has lived since the world began, On the 28th of June he was arrested on the charge of vagrancy, but it was impossible to hold him on such a charge, as he had a quantity of money in his possession."

His schemes for raising money are varied and peculiar. The last effort of his genius was to declare that he bad sent to his august father for a consignment of wings, which the negroes will need on and after the 16th of August. There wa3 a corner on wings when bis requisition reached heaven aud the Almighty was only able to send him SG0 pairs. These, he claimed, would be delivered on the judgment day, and in the meantime he would sell them at $5 a pair. Every pair has oeen bought and paid for, and now the lucky ones are practicing the flying motions. Hethinks his father may be able to send him a few more pairs before tbe great day.

WOMEN FOR WAR.

Legitime Recruiting Women and Thereby Inert asing His Army—Yellow l't ver.

A correspondent at Port-au-Prince, under date of June 29, tends the following in regard to the Haytian affairs, which was received Thursday. Matters are going to an extreme in Hayti, for Legitime is aiming women and placing them in the ranks. He is resorting to everything possible to strengthen his" position, which is far stronger than currently reported. Yellow fever is pre- yvailing, though not to an alarming extent. It is even said that many of the supposed cases are not contagious. People, however, are dying in all1 sorts of out of-the-wav places, and daily rounds of men are sent out with carts to find the dead. The bodies gathered in the day are all buried in the same hole, no semblance of a funeral service being given. Fort-au-Prince presents just" now a filthy appearance. The concentration of Legitime's forces in the place is partly the cause of this. No attention appears to be paid to the dumping of garbage, the piles oi which in some parts oi the streets emit a most sicken-ing-stench. The ships in the offing get the full benefit of it when the land breezes begin to blow at night. About the guard-house old men may be seen hobbling at nearly all times of the day. They come to encourage the sons and have it appear that the fathers of the lads do not lack for patriotism.

Legitime's army is made up of troops ranging in ages all the way from fourteen to forty-five. All the available male«

population appears to be doing service, and in consequence the heme work is almost entirely neglected. Hippolyte, I on the contrary, is leaving at home as many of the men as he can possible spare, and in this way assures the continuance of work on the farms and in the town. The women serving in the ranks of Legitime's troops can be readily picked out by a close observer, as their faces do not possess the hardened features of the men.
