THE GOSPEL'S INSPIRATION

Rev; C. E. Randall's Discourse on Its Effect in Causing People to Sing. Sermons In Citj Churches Yesterday bj Visiting Christian Ministers Eev. Moffet'g Discourse on "Christ's Mission on Earth." A Bomber of the pulpits of the city were occupied by visiting members of the Christian Church yesteHay. Invitations were tendered the convention 07 several other churches which ere not supplied, because the great majority of the delegates present returned to their homes on Friday and Saturday. Iter. Robert Moffett preached at Meridian-street in the morning and Central avenue in the evening. ltev. S. L fravis preached at the First Baptist Church in the morning and Meridian-street at oieht. Rev. J. It. Royal preached at tha Sixth Christian Church morninprand evening. The evening service at Fourth Christian Church was conducted by Rev. John Boggs, Rev. G. I. Brokaw preached there in the mornine and at South Baptist Church in the evening. Rev. J. II. Hammond preached at Seventh-street Church in the morning and at Third Christian Church in the evening. The morning service at Third Christian Church was conducted by Rav. II. B. Hayden. In the morning Rev. C. E. Randall, Christian missionary to Jamaica, preached at Central Christian Church, taking for his text. "From the uttermost parts of the earth have we heard sones," Isaiah xxiv, 16. These words doubtless referred at first to the captive Israelites, who had been carried far away from their own land. On that land God's judgment had been poured forth. In their chief city destruction had overtaken many, but some were 6pared, though few and feeble they appeared to be. The time would eome when those spared should reflect on the majesty of God and begin to cry unto Him. Then would He turn again their captivity and have mercy upon them, and they should be delivered. Again they should be restored to their land, and already, in anticipation of this, the prophet exclaims: "From the uttermost parts of the earth have we heard songs." We may understand also a wider and future reference, said the speaker. The judgments spoken of in this chapter may refer to the last days, when the Lord shall come forth to punish terribly the wicked nations of the earth. But out of those distresses the Lord will .reserve Qis own people. The disasters of others shall be a sign of deliverance to the elect, and they feball be gathered from every part. There is till another sense in which these words may be taken that is, as indicating the resulting joy in every part of the world from the spread of the gospel. Wherever the gospel goes and exerts its power, there songs shall burst forth. Thus, many passages of Scripture speaking of the blessings that shall be bestowed upon the nations through the gospel dispensation speak of singing. It is foretold that Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands to God, and the exhortation is given, "Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord." There are many similar passages. Why should the soread of the gospel cause songs, and of what are tnese songs expressive! First, the gospel causes songs expressive of deliverance. When Israel had escaped from Egypt a-;ross the Red sea, they sang. It was but natural. That deliverance was bat a type of the deliverance of the soul from sin. When the soul that has been enslaved by Satan is set free, when the burden of guilt is removed, when fears have been taken away, and when the darkness of the night of sin is chased away by the light of the snn of righteousness, tnat is felt to be a time of deliverauce iudeed a time, when From bonds of hell He freed our souls And taught our lips to tiLg. Seeond, the gospel causes songs expressive of joy. Joy is attendant on redemption. Tnen is the springtime of the souL The time of the singing ol oirda has come. Have they not reason to rejoice ' Whose sins have been forgiven? - Yon may as well try to stop the earth from looking bright when there are no clouds in the aky as to try to prevent a soul from feeling joyful when the light of God's reconciled countenan re shioes upon it. ' Third, the gospel brines songs of peace to the lips. The first found joy becomes deeper. It may be quieter but none the less real. When the accusings of the law are silenced, when the troubled! conscience is set at rest, when he no longer seeks to establish a righteousness of his own. or thinks of purchasing heaven ay bis own merit, then be feels a peace that passeth all understanding, and may sing: Blest be niy lot wliate'er befall; What can disturb me, what appall? , While as my strength, my vock, my all; Savior, I cling to thee. , Fourth, the gospet causes songs expressive of comfort. One of the most beautiful and striking of God's titles is "the God of Comfort." This brings Him very near to us in our hours of weakness and trial Not few or light, are the sorrows which the believer is called noon to bear, but when be can realize "I am continually with thee" what true heart's ease it affords. Sweetly the Savior's words come to his mind, "Let not your heart be troubled." Fifth, the gospel causes songs of bop. It is not until God is known that truebope takes possession of the souL All other hope shall fade awav. Like the will-o'-the-wip it deludes the weary traveler with uncertain light and at last vanishes, leaving him disappointed, bewildered lost. Not so the hope given by the gospel, which is as an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast. Under its influence many bear the strongest trials patiently, and even joyfully; and sorrows, persecutions and afflictions which would otherwise be unendurable, become stepping-stones toward heaven. These are the blessings which the gospel brings, and now I would ask of each one here, have you experienced these blessings and been made thus to sing? Some of you have not known much of these sons. I would assure you that the gosoel can give songs when all else will fail. Observe, too, that these sons are being heard from many lands. The go3nl is no experiment. It has been tested for 1800 years. If it could not do what nothing else can, it would have been dead and forgotten long since. In these last days it is producing these blessed effects more widely than ever. No other agency even attempts such rjgults. Armies go forth to conquer, men of commerce to trade, men of science to explore, but missionaries 01 Christ go forth with the leaves of the tree of life, and the wilderness and the solitary place are made glad. Jinny a heathen who in his blindness bad bowed down to wood and stone learns to look up to God as his father and becomes a joint heir with Jesus Cbist to inheritance incorruptible, uodeflled, and that shall never pass away. The speaker then gave instances of some of the most degraded peoples who have been elevated and blessed by the gospel, and exhorted Christians to take part in the work. Christ's Mission on Earth. Rev. Robert Moffett, secretary of tha Christian General Missionary Society, preached at Meridian-street Church in the morning from the text: "Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or elue believe me for the very works" sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do hall he do also; and greater works than these iball he do; because I go unto my Father." John siv, 11 and 12. The speaker classed the works of Christ in three divisions the redemption of the world by His death, the explanation of His mission so that man might accept it. by His words, and convincing mankind cf the divinity of Ilia mission by His life and His miracles. The difference between the teachings of Moses and the prophtts and that of Christ is marked by the express tlaims of the former to teach by the authority f a higher power, while the Savior assumed power himself. Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give fou rest." It was a natural result of this that people ehonld sify "Never man spake as this man." The false miracles of impostors of ancient and modern times are always for show. Christ never performed a miracle for that purpose. There was none that was not called from him by bis compassion for the woes of human beings. lie meets the stricken widow at the gates of Nain and compassionating her loneliness and grief. He gives her back her son. The tears of the sisters of Lazarus touch his heart aud be calls the dead man from his tomb. The shunned leper meets him by the way and greets bim: "Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean." No sight could excite sympathy more than the unhappy man dying by inches cf that dreadful disease. At once be speaks, "I will Be thou tbanr and at the word the scales fall from his skin: the blood pulses in healthful flow through hi arteries; his wasting boues fill out to their

natural' proportions, and the man', clean and whole, goes rejoicing to join his kindred. The death of Christ was unlike that of any other. He was not a martyr, as Stephen, and a host of others, borne helpless to his death. He said, "I lay down my life that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me. but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." In these respects Christ stands oneqnaled and alone. How then can His disciples do greater works thau He? They laid down their lives, but not as He did, for the redemption of the world. They performed miracles, but no miracle of theirs was as great as the miracle of raising Lazarus. We must seek some other field for the fulfillment of this promise of greater works, and that field must be the conversion of the world to Him. At the time of the crucifixion the number of His disciples was not large. Those gathered in the upper room before the day of Pentecost numbered but one hundred and twenty. It mar be said that there were others who were not assembled there. Suppose there were five hundred in all. and we shall have the result of His ministry of three years. How strange this seems compared with the first sermon of Peter, by which three thousand were brought to a knowledge of the truth. In this respect the teaching, of all the apostles and other primitive , teachers were phenomenal. Everywhere men were moved by their preaching to the consciousness of sin and the acceptance of the great Redeemer. Before the lan of those first teachers who received their commissions direct from the lips of the Savior had paused away, the gospel had been preached throughout the then known world. The islands of the sea had heard the call, and heathen nations owned their Lord. Steadily the great work went on, spreading through all classes, ruing higher and bigber in the circles of the world's greatness, bringing to the truth the rich, the wise and the powerful, until at length the rulers of the civilized world acknowledged their submission to the King of Kincs and the despised and persecuted sect was freed for the time from the dangers of violence and crime upon them for conscience sake. FRIENDS OF THE WAIFS. A Branch of the National Youths' Home and Employment Asssociation Organized. Y. M. C A. Hall was fairly filled last evening with citizens who had assembled to complete the permanent organizations of a local branch of the National Youths' Home and Employment Association. The president. Rev. J. S. Jenekes, being detained temporarily elsewhere, the meeting was called to order by Mr. E. W. Halford. The first speaker was Cob Alexander Hogeland, who spoke at some length on the purposes of the movement, detailing the methods of work in bringing the homeless youth under the influence of the society and introducing them into more stable employment as they advanced in age. lie was followed by Mayor Denny in a brief address, giving some incidents which showed the benefits already secured through the Newsboys' Home movement, and promising his aid in any official or personal way for the furtherance of the project. Dr. Jenekes having arrived, then took the chair, and under his management a subscription was taken up, amounting to several hundred dollars. A. A- McKain gAve 625, and pledged $100. Simon Yandes,' A. B. Gates. W. DoM. Hooper, the Model Clothing Company and others, contributed $25 each, and a number of five and ten-dollar subecritions followed.

DAN DON'T DRINK." How President Cleveland Proved Himself a Good Democrat. St. Lonis Post-Dispatch. Col. Dave Caruth has been telling a good story on President Cleveland, which proves that the President is at heart a sound Bourbon Democrat, with the tastes and inclinations of a Democrat. Colonel Caruth has only told the story to his bosom friends and in the secrecy of the Hendricks Club councils. But it has leaked out, somehow, and is going the rounds. The incident ocenrred on the night of the Hendricks Club parade when the President was standing in the balcony of the Lindell Hotel, reviewing the proceasioo of voters. A stiff, chilling wind was blowing, and the air was raw and damp. . The President shivered several times, and drew his overcoat closely around him. Finally he turned to Colonel Caruth and said: "Colonel, is it necessary to stand here tin til the entire procession passes? It's pretty cold, and I'd like to go inside, if it's possible. You had better stay," was the reply. These fellows are all good Democrats, and they'll take it hard if you don't stay through and let them see you." The President acquiesced but looked blue, and Coionel Caruth, realizing the situation, stepped into the parlor, rung for a bell-boy and ordered four glasses of the best whisky in the house; one for the President, another for Mayor Fra-ncis, another for Dan Lamont, and the fourth for himself. When the whisky arrived Colonel Caruth called to the Mayor and said: 'Francis, here's eome good whisky, go out and ask the President to come and take a drink." What?" said the Major, aghast; "I ask the President to take a drinK of whisky! No, sir, I won't do any thing of the kind." "You don't mean to tell me, Francis," said Caruth in astonishment, "that you've kept the President at your house for two days and have not given him any whisky not even a cocktail or a toddy in the .morning? I am surprised at you for keeping him in suffering this long. I'll go and ask him myself." Colonel Caruth. went on the balcony 'and touching the President's arm gave him one of those meaning winks which are so well understood by good Democrats and Hendricks Club members and. remarked quietly; "Mr. Cleveland, there's a little good whisky inside if you would like to havo a bowl to keep cut the cold." Mr. Cleveland grasped the wink and the remark, and followed the Colonel into the parlor. Caruth waved hi band toward tho four glasses and told the President to help himself. '-There are four glasses here," said he; "who are they for?" "Why. there is one for von. one for me, one for the Mayor and one for Mr. Lamont," was the reply. The President walked to the table, took up a glass, emptied its contents into another and then poured the double measure down his throat at a gulp and without blinking his eyes. "Dan don't drink," he remarked as he put down the glass with a sigh of satisfaction. It was done no neatly and with so much Democratic simplicity that it took away the breath of the other two, but went straight to their hearts. Colonel Caruth said he had a sneaking idea before that Cleveland was a mugwump, but now he knows he is a Democrat. Crane Goes to New York. Boston Special. President John B. Day. of the New York club, and his agent. Pat Powers, ex-manager of the Jersey Citys. of the International League, have been in this city for the past few dava looking after players. They have engaged Ed Crane and M. J. Slattery, late of the Toronto club, the star players of the International League. F. H. Brunell, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and J. T. Fantz. also of the Toronto ciub. were here to engage Crane and Slattery for the Cleveland club. They have returned to their homes vowing vengeance on Mr. Day. Nimlck'a Offer for Anson. Special to the IndiananolU Journal. Pittsburg, Oct 2.1 President Nimick says: "As for the talk which has been going the rounds of the papers about me offering $23,000 for Anson, there is not a grain of truth in it. While I met Mr. Spaulding frequently on my last trip I never even mentioned Anson's name, once. 1 had offered $15,000 for the "Babe" on my previous trip and was then informed emphatically that Auson was not for sale. L however, have options on both Williamson and Pfeffer, and if either of these men is put on the market I have been promised first chance at them." - - ' .

THE AMER GREEN IYKCHIRG

What Sheriff Yansnndy Says Concerning Gov. Gray's Letter of Reprimand. Jad?e Gould Will at Once Call a Special Session of the Grand Jarj and Issue Instructions for & Searching Inquiry. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Delphi. Ind., Oct. 23,There is still considerable excitement here over the .lynching of Amer Green, on Friday night, and more in the eastern part of the county, about Burlington and Young America. The coroner t eld a short sitting on Saturday, at Flora, and adjourned until Monday, when he will take np the investigation here. He is preparing to subpoena a large cumber of witnesses, with a view to identifying members of the mob. The Delphi Journal, in an extra issued yesterday morning, stated - that Mr. Mabbitt, father of the missing girl, talked with Amer as the mob was preparing to hang him. Yesterday, before the coroner, Mr. Mabbitt, denied being present. To-morrow the editor of the Journal will be called to testify in the matter. Mr. Mabbitt was the only came mentioned as one of the mob. . A letter published in the Indianapolis Journal of this morning, addreesed to Sheriff Vangundy, charging him with a lack of precaution, by Governor Gray, has been one of the chief topics of discussion here to-day, and the sheriff will evidently come out on top as far as public opinion ia concerned. The Governor is not as well acquainted with the facts and the situation prior to the lynching as he assumes to be, and even those most radically opposed to lynch-law acquit the sheriff of any charge of negligence or dereliction of duty. There was absolutely nothing in the situation prior to Friday to excite suspicion, and the , attack was a surprise to the best informed. "It is strange," people here say, "if tha Governor was familiar with all the facts he assumes to know, that he didn't himself take measures to protect Green." Your correspondent talfced with Sueriff Vangundy and Judge Gould to-day. The sheriff had not yet received the Governor's letter, but expressed himself surprised at what he termed bis audacity. A man from Delphi, who was in Burlington to-day, says there is a general impression that the Governor has detectives at work in the Mabbitt neighborhood. It is aho believed that Green's attorney will press an investigation. Judge Gould said, to-dav, that he would call the grand jury to meet 10 special session to investigate the matter on Wednesday. Owing to the black record of the criminal, there is little regret exoressd over the action of the mob, and it will be difficult to find witnesses who will testify against any of its members. The story told by Green to the effect that Luella Mabbit was in Ft. Worth with Samuel Paine is not believed, as inquiry has failed to discover any person there bytbat name. On Friday afternoon a stranger met a man wearing a G. A. R. badge, and after passing the time of day, remarked that be understood the G. A. K. post was guarding the jail. The member told him they were cot, to his knowledge, whereupon the stranger proposed to bet the cigars that they were. The bet was accepted, and together they went to the armory of the post and counted the guns, finding that they were all in their places. The stranger pulled from his pocket a greeu string, and, wrapping it around his finger, remarked, "M ay be you think I'm a greeny," and took his departure. This is supposed to be only one of many precautions taken by the mob to guard against any interference with their plans, and it has since been learned that early in the evening six men took their stations in the stairway leading to the armory, prepared to repel any effort to obtain means to thwart their plans. Searching for Luella Mabbitt. Fort Worth Special to St. I. ouia Globe-Democrat. Telegrams from several uapers were received here this evening, stating that Amer Green, lynched at Delphi last night, stated that Luella Mabbitt, the girl supposed to be. murdered by him, was alive and living in Fort Worth. Reporters were soon at work on the case, and enlisted the police force and other officers in the search. No one by the name of Sam Payne was found to be living in this place now, but such a man had lived here for several months, leaving Fort Worth early in September. He resided with a woman v. ho, to all appearances, was his wife. She was some twenty years of age. of medium height, and a buxom woman. The couple lived on lower Rusk street, and were good people. A neighbor, Mrs. Orr, stated to a reporter that Mrs. Payne had told her in a friendly conversation that her maiden name was Luella Merritt. Mrs. Orr is positive Mrs. Payne did not say Mabbitt but said Merritt. Mia. Payne faid further that she had. come to Fort Worth from Indianapolis, and had been raised in Indiana. The Paynes have lived here from February of this year. Payne was an expert clock and watch repairer, and visited the little towns through the country working at his trade. Early in September his health began to fail, and Mrs. Payne told her neighbors that they were going to Chicago to live, where Mr. Payne bad a brother in business in a butter-bouse on Wabash avenue. Mrs. Payne bad dark gray eyes, brown hair, fair complexion and, while lady-like seemed to be country bred. None of the neighbors ot the Paynes ever noticed anything that smacked of the mysterious about the couple, and never beard either one allude to the Greens or to any trouble in Indiana. Mrs. Orr, who seems to have been most intimate with Mrs. Luella Payne, says she understood from the lady that her parents were both dead and that she married Payne in Indianapolis. The Greens were both lodged in Fort Worth, while on the way to Delphi, and neither of them at that time made any claim that Luella Mabbitt was alive or lived iu Fort Worth, and the statement made here by the officer was that the body of Luella Mabbitt had been found in a creek near her home. The Emerald Union Reorganized. About thirty gentlemen assembled at the Grand Hotel at 3:39 o'clock yesterday afternoon to diseuss the feasibility of reorganizing St John's Branch, No. 1, of Emerald Beneficial Aseo ciatiou, a Catholic benevolent and literary anion, having free circulating libraries and reading-rooms in nearly every State. For years it flourished in this city. There are now societies in Tinton, Anderson and Richmond. Addresses were made by the Hon. J. A. Goulden, of Pennsylvania, Messrs. Doody, Butler, Deery, Treeter, McUrossan and others. Twenty-five members were initiated, and the following officers elected and installed by Mr. Goulden: President James H. Deery. Vice-president John C. Treeter. Secretary James McCrossan. Treasurer William Sherrid en. Another meeting will be held at 3:30 o'clock p. M. on Sunday next, at the ."New Record" office. Receipts of the Pennant Winners. The total receipts- from the games of the world's championship series np to date are $37,855. of which $7,300 was received at St Louis, t, 750 at Detroit, $2,260 at Pittsburg. 85,725 at Brooklyn, $7,770 at Philadelphia. $4,000 at New York. $3,200 at Boston, $1,000 at Washington and $1,800 at Baltimore.

His favorite mania was for locks of hair. He had a way about him. Hang those fellows who have "ways" atout them. You may bo clever, learned, bright, beautiful, good, handsome: but the fellow who has a "way about him' gets the best of you all the time. Whenever I hear a girl say: "He's pot very good looking, you know, and he's rather soft, but he's got a way about him," I know he's very dangerous. Yes. I would rather have a way about me than be a millionaire, and that's saying a great deaL That's really the only chance a poor fellow has got. This fellow of whom I write had a "way" of getting locks of hair. I don't know what there is about locks of hair, but there's something. I guess it must be a "way." He could inveigle a girl into cutting off "that lock he had touched or put his lips to. or that was otherwise especially dear to bim." He had quite a collection, and when one of the fair ones was going to get married, she wrote to him to send her back the lock she bad given him, he wrote ber a long letter reproaching hr and saying he bad no objection . to returning her unredeemed pledge. "It is the only pledge of the kind I ever asked from a woman. I thought it meant something; but yon can take it and burn it" She wrote back: "I sand you back the lock of bair. I do not

CURRENT LITERATURE. - "The Count of the Saxon Shore.' by Rev. Alfred J. Church is an historical novel of very eocsiderable merit. It is a tale of the departure of the Romans from Britain, the scene being laid during the last year of their occupation. Their final withdrawal is commonly assigned to the year 410. The real history of the period is so vague that the novelist is. quite unfettered in the use of materials. The author has. however, followed the line of general facts pretty closely and by judicious drafts on bis imagination constructed a very interesting story. The historical parts have evidently been carefully studied. The book contains a cumber of handsome illustrations. New York: G. P. Putnam's r Sons. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. Few books have created more of a sensation on their first appearance than 'A Fool's Errand," by Judge Albion Tourgee, and it had genuine merit Subsequent literary efforts by the same author were cot so well received. Now he appears with a new novel, "Batton's Inn." The scene is laid in the Chautauqua hills region, not far from Lake Erie, and the story deals with the period and events connected with the . rise of Mormonism. The principal characters are a country tavern-keeper, proprietor of Button's Inn, his wife, son daughter and her two lovers. The tavern has the reputation of being haunted, and the locality abounds in neighborhood traditions and legends. Out of these commonplace materials the author has constructed a novel that is not commonplace; it is, in fact, a decidedly original and interesting story, and displays some of the best characteristics of the author's first and most striking novel. Cloth. $1.25. New York: Roberts Brothers. Indianapolis: The Bo wen-Merrill Company. Of books on Beecher it may be said "the cry is. still they come." The latest is entitled, "Beecher as a Humorist," it being selections from his published works compiled by Eleanor Kirk. All such books composed of short extracts are more or less scrappy, but where every scrap contains a rich thought or valuable idea, happily expressed, the criticism does not hold. Mr. Beecher never wrote or spoke without saying something and many of bis weightiest utterances also sparkle with humor. This book bristles with good things.

"Modern Cities and their Religious Problems," by Samuel Lane Loomis, is a collection of lectures delivered at Andover Theological Seminary in 1886. They treat in its different aepeets and phases of the irrepressible conflict between the forces of good and evil in large cities, with speeial reference to church work. The work shows great care in its preparation and is full of thoughtful and suggestive matter for ehurcb workers and moral reformers in cities. New York: The Baker & Taylor Company. 9 Bond street Indianapolis: The BowenMerrill Company. "Decisive Battles Since Waterloo" is the title of a new work by that industrious and entertaining writer. Col. T. W. Knox. Most of his books have been for boys. This one is equally, perhaps better, adapted for elder readers. It treats of all the decisive battles from 1815 to 1887 including, of course, those of the Mexican and civil war and of recent wars in Europe. It is an exceedingly interesting and instructive book, and the text is materially aided by maps and illustrations. New York: G. P. Putnam' s Sons. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Cornpan y. Mr. W. D. Howells has turned aside from the field of fiction long enough to produce a work of more solid character, entitled "Modern Italian Poets." It is the result of his studies begun in Italy many years ago, and embracing pretty much the entire field of modern Italian poetry. The essays are partly biographical and partly critical. Many of the poets treated of are but little known to American readers, but Mr. Howells gives them a very agreeable introduction. The book is embellished with numerous portraits. New York: Harper & Brothers. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. Under the title of "Knickerbocker Nuggets" G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, have commenced the publication of a series of English classics, of which "Headlong Hall and Nightmare Abbey," by Thomas Love Peacock, is one.

The author is Mr. Henry Norman, and roost of the work appeared first in the Pall Mall Gazette, the author being a special correspondent of that paper. It was published in the form of letters describing actual occurrences and abounding with interesting facta touching Irish landlordism, the persecution of Irish tenants at Bodyke, etc. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. "Daring and Suffering' is the title of a cew work which is further designated as "a history of the Andrews railroad raid into G eorgia in 18G2, embracing a full and accurate account of the secret journey to the heart of the Confederacy, the capture of a railway train in a confederate camp, the terrible chase that followed, and the subsequent fortunes of the leader and his party." By William Pittinger, a member of the expedition. It is claimed that now. for the first time, is the history of this very remarkable expedition fully and authentically told. In April, 1862, a score of Federal soldiers in disguise penetrated two hundred miles from their own linea to the heart of the Confederacy, and seized a crowded railway train within the lines of the enemy's camp. Their intention was to burn the railroad bridges oa an important line, and their success would have dealt a deadly blow to the confederate cause. Only the unexpected encountering of two extra trains as they flew northward prevented their accomplishing all they proposed, and this obstruction gave rise to a thrilling chase on the railroad. When obliged to abandon the captured train the party dispersed in the woods, were hunted doarn with dogs, suffered a terrible imprisonment, and onethird of their cumber perished on the scaffold. Of the remainder, eight escaped and six were exchanged a year after leaving their own camp. They received medals and commissions as rewards for their bravery, and the whole exploit has usually been considered the most daring of the whole war. The narrative of the expedition as contained in this volume is one of surpassing interest. The author, a member of the expedition, has also consulted all living witnesses and contemporaneous acconnts and government archives at Washington to insure accuracy of statement and the book bears internal evidence of truthfulness. It is a work of peculiar interest and a valuable contribution to war history. New York: The War Publishing Company. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. Nothing prettier has been seen in the way of dainty and attractive binding than that of "Gulliver's Travels," issued in two volumes by G. P. Putnam's Sons, .

There is hope yet that Coy and the ringleaders in his gang will be sent to the penitentiary where they should be now. The Tour of Conquest, Richmond Palladium. We doubt whether Mr. Cleveland has gained anything by the trip; he has always run better as a candidate where he was least known, and the greater acquaintance the people of the West have gained of him may lessen his vote in this section. - A Long-Felt Want London Truth. Apropos of the structural defects of churches, which, I am glad to see, are attracting some attention just now, it is an astonishing thing that it has never occurred to any one to provide cloak-room accommodation at places of worship. I always feel a difficulty mvself about goioc to

church on wet Sundays, because I do not know how. when I get there, I shall dispose of my umbrella and mackintosh with comfort to myself and without annoying others. No doubt many sensitive persons feel the same. Then, again, look at the hat difficulty. Few men can afford a new bat a week; yet no man can respect himself in a hat that has once been under the seat during a whole service. And how, I ask. can an average Christian perform his devotions in an acceptable spirit with the knowledge that, as he kneels, he is putting bis foot through the crown of his "Lincoln & Bennett"!

A Sharp Literary Trick. New York Letter. The newspaper men who purchased from a syndicate the right to produce Rev. E. P. Roe's story, "The Earth Trembled," are wrathful over a shabby trick that they allege be has served them. They bought the story in good faith, with the understanding that it was not to be produced in book form until they would publish it as a serial. But five or six weeks before they were through with it the book came out, and, of eourse, measurably spoiled their market They are the more incensed becanse, as they state, he said at the outset that he was sick, and they must cot print more than one chapter at a time, so as to give him the chance to finish it op at bis leisure. This they refused to do; and bad they acceded they would have been three months in arrears. Whether the fault is with Roe or with the syndicate cannot be said with certainty: but no serial of his is likely to be sought after in the future by newspaper men. A large price was paid for the story in installments, and Mr. Roe certainly has no reason to complain of his harvest A Frospeions T vvn. Noblesville T.edeer.

Catarrh to Consumption. Catarrh, in its destructive force, stands next to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption.. It is. therefore, singular that those afflicted with thi3 fearful disease should not make it the object of their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies, concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge, have weakened the confidence of the great majority of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to a life of misery rather than torture .. themselves with doubtful palliatives. But this will never do. Catarrh must be "met at every stage and combated with all our' mfghfc. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so inflamed and irritated as to produce a constant and distressing cough. Sanf ord's Radical Cure meets every plse of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and constitutional.

jBnsiness Men Or professional men, who do mental or office work, frequently ret into the condition described in tbe following letter, which ahows how well Hood's Sarsaparilla is adapted for such eases, and how speedily relief may be had by taking this medicine: "I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla, and have gained forty pounds in three months. My stomach refused to do its duty. My liver and kidneys pained me; my hands and feet were cold. I had that tired feeling, could do no mental work in the office, and in the evening was scarcely able to walk home without stopping to rest several times. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla about a week before I noticed any change. The first benefit I noticed was the gradual regulation of my bowels, then that heaviness in my stomach left; the dullness in my head and the gloomy, despondent feeling disappeared, I began to set stronger, my blood gained better circulation, the coldness in my hands and feet left me, and my kidneys do not bother me any during the night as before."
