Senator Blaise Is quoted by the Telegraph at Philadelphia assaying the other day that he looked back upon 17 years of consecutive service In the two Houses of Congress, and during that time there badoccuned in toese b dies some of the roost exciting and mo mentous discussions that had characterized Congress since tbe foundation of the Government, and In all tbe leading events he had more or less taken his part. The Peoria Democrat aaj a: There seems to be a general lee lng among congressmen of ad views on tbe subject that there should be no more flnancl .1 legislation at this sesslrn, and the leeling is shared by the ptople at large. Thefalluieof W aver's 9 00,000 fXO bill In the House on Monday last, It is believed, put an end to all further attempts In that direction. There Is a growing disposition to drop flnancl discussions for tbe present as useless and unprofitable under existing circumstances. 05 of a ship's crew lately In Africa, having become Intoxicated, lay down to sleep, while his companions were making examinations In the neighborhood. Ihe latter, heating an outcry where they had left the Inebriate, hastened thither, and found that he bad been attacked by myriads of large white ants, that were devouring him alive. Seizing him by the arms and legs they dashed him into a stream near by, and then wa4ed into it themselves. The ants were got rid of, but the unfortunate man died.

A PEEP AT KTKKXITY.

A Colored Lass of 16 Summers Journey Through Heaven and Hell, r Philadelphia ItecorJ. A religious revival among the colored people of Bordentown, of t owe weeks' duration, has been so violent in its tendencies of late as to cause a general agitation in that once peaceful place. The colored population have gone absolutely crazy over a girl 16 year s of age, who was m completely overcome with religious emotion that she fell into a stupor from which she.didnot show ?igns of recovering for more than two days. Now, having recovered, phe sincerely believes she bas parsed within the gates of both Heaven and hell, was introduced to the rejoicings of one and the curves of the other and then returned to the flesh that she might furnii-h the solution of humanity's great problem. The transition waa effected in the African M. E. church, w herefrom tbe cries of tb innere have boen disturbing rus tic sleep this many a night. Levi Johnson, the exhorter, was in his l-est lorm about 10 o'clock last Thursday evening, when Abby McCloe, with a about of joy, leaped twice toward heaven and then fell into the aisle ineensibta. She was gathered up and carried, like one dead, to the altar, and subsequently to her home, a block or two away. 1 he sup position wa that she was injured by her lall in the church. Fbvsicians attended, and, finding she had sustained no bodily harm, declared that she had gone away in a trance, and pronounced Ler beyond their ministra tion. The hurabl) household was filled with awe. Colored clergymen flocked to witness this spiritual phenomenon. 4Thev sane and praved for hours,'' said one of the lamily yesterday, "but it didn't pem to do anv goM. De Lord was taking His own time. There was a doctor here who thought she had a fever, but when he felt her puke and found it all right he supposed she'd went away in a trance, too. About noon on Saturday she showed sign of life for tlw first time. Saturday night she drank a glass of water, but eat notbin' until Monday, and all she had that day an egg and a piece of pie. La?t night she made motions that she wanted to go to church, and we carried her there in a chair. That seemed to do her some good, for this morning she talked like horself lor the first time, and said she had been to botli Heaven and tcrment She came down stairs to-day, l-ut had to crawl down, because her feet are so sore ahe can't walk." "Whi t is the cause of her sore feet?" inquired the Record reporter, to whom this statement was addressed. "Walk in' through torment," wa the reply, "It was so hot she burned the bottoms of her feet." By request, the reporter wua shown up to a small bedroom on tbe second floor, where the late tourist, an attractive mulatto girl, was sitting in a eomfortuble rocking chait with ber scorched (.?) and shoeless feet resting on a !tool. When a?ked hor experience while in the transitory state she told this story in all sincerity: Well, I went through Heaven flr?t. There I saw mother, my two sUters, and my brother. I walked by them, but couldn't get in the path they were in. They took me in a room where there were many lights; some were just lit, some part burnt, and others almost out. They took me in another room where there was all littlrt angels sitting around. Then I went to another place up steps, like. There sat a large man writing with blood, and there wa3 another one on his knees praying, 'Father spare me a few days longer.' He had long whifekers and spoke cross and grum. After 1 left tLre everybody seemed to be shouting reioicin.---. I said: Oh. mother, how I wouPd - V w like to stay!' but she said: No, you must go back and tell them how things are here, and prepare.' Here the girl showed signs of her exhaus tion from lone fasting, and after a short rest continued: "Then I started to another place. It seemed like a man who )ead me. It was awful hot, and there was a blazing up and a smoking as x something was boiling, x'eopie were screeching fr water; such screaming I never heard in my life. 1-ittle demons were run ning around with dippers pouring something that looked like hot Jead down their throats; and there was a big black man locked to the floor writing in a book. They had men shoveling hot coals and ashes back on the people as they rolled off. That's where my feet were burned. I did not stay there long, for angeb that were around me all the time soon carried me back to earth.' There must be something supernatural in Bordentown exhortation when it can work such a wonder as this. And Thomas Eclectrio Oil should be applied immediately.

Evening Pout The episodes of misery, defalcation and aeatn tnat nave succeeded eacn otner in so - y r apid succession in various parts of the coun try almost uniformly confirm the observa tion3 often made in these columns relative to current habits of costly living and the exten sive embarrassment to which those habits have given birth. The downfall of this ur that unhaDDV rerson mav be commonlv im puted to speculation, or misfortune in busi ness, or toother causes; but the origin of the great bulk of these disasters, if carefully sought out and verified, will be found we believe in extravagant expenditure in every dav life. rhe financial storm that during the last 10 years has swept over this country has brought about these calamaties, but in strictness it has not cauesd them. As with houses built on Rand, the weakness already existed and awaited but the strain of the tempest to become deplora bly manifest. The custom, to pursue the metaphor, was to build as if no storm was ever to be expected. But the only sate cus tom is to build as if the storm was imminent" and inevitable. Had our various social edi flce3 been constructed on the solid rock of prudence and far-sighted accumulation tbe hurricane might have burst as it would, and all would have been staunch and strong; or at least many a home would have stood fast and firm that has fallen in desolation and ruin. American women have a task set before them to which they should forthwith put an earnest and willing hand. It is to return so far a3 may be to the old and frugal ways, the forehanded and sagacious domestic management of their grandmothers. By example, no less than actual saving, they may by this means do a world of good. Let them show their husbands and fathers that they are determined to opposo wasteful and unseemly outlay as a matter of principle. The family may be able to "afford" such outlay to-day but "may not be able to afford it to morrow. A useful lesson is to be had here from the king who insisted that his children should be taught a trade, and this applies to girls as well as boys. 'o one can positively tell what his future circumstances may be. Some of the richest noblemen in England are the poorest because of the constantly increased demand upon their resources. Poor Richard may not be the best guide in the world in everything, but he is certainly a Bafe one in domestic economy. There is no earthly need for doing always what other people do, or thinking always what other people will say. Sterne, by the way of laughing at conventions, made some of the chapters of "Tristram Shandy" consist of but three lines, and even has several chap-

ters in succession -that contain neither line

nor word but stars only as the shadows or substitutes of w hat mieht have been. If American, women will but dare in this special sense also to dlsregaid.conveniions. to in sist on becoming housewives of the good old stamp, 01 regulating their homes not of ne cessity as others do, but a3 their own sense of right and length of purse justify, with an eye to the future as well as the present, there will be lewer breaches of trust and broken fortunes in the business world hereafter than in thtse 10 sad years there have been, as well 83 a much sounder brause much safer en joyment of life among business men. The Age uf Unbelief. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in the Unitarian, thus describes the state of a world without faith: "There is ro fuith left. "We laugh and oi?s, pleased with our power in making Heaven and earth a howling wilderness. Unlovely, nay, frightful, is the solitude of te scul which is without God in the world, To.wander all day in the eunüght among the tribes of animals, unrelated to anything better; to behold the horse, cow, and. bird, and to foreee an equal and speedy end to him and them; no, the Mrd, as it hurried by with its bold and perfect flight, would disclaim his eympathj, and declare bim an outcast. To see men pursuing in faith their varied action, warm-hearted, providing for their children, loving their friends, performing their promises what are they to this chill, houseless, fatherless, aimless Cain, the man who bears on lv the sound of hia own foot steps in Ood's resplendent creation; to him, these fair creatures are halpleäs spectres; he knows not what. to tnake of it. To him, Heaven and earth have lost their beauty. How gloomy is the day, and upon yonder shining pond what melancholy lightl I can not keep the sun m Heaven if you take away the purpose that animates him. The ball. indeed, is there, but his power to cheer, to illuminate the heart a? well as the atmosphere, is gone iorev?r. it na lamp-wick lor mean t t purpoos. The words 'great,' venerable, have lost thrir meaning; every thought loes all its depth, and has become mere surface. A call.

We thank Thee for the tri umphs which attend that name of Jesus for the dear blessedness which his life has bestowed upon us, smoothing tbe pathway of toil, so.tening the pillow of distress, and brightening the way whereon truth comes down from Thee, and life to Thee kos ever ascending up. Father, we thank Thee for the blessings, which this great, noble soul has widely scattered throughout the world; and most of all for this that his spark of fire has revealed to us Thine cwn divinity, enlivening this mortal human clod and prophesying such noble future of achievement bere on earth nd in Thine own k:nj:dom of Heaven with Thee.

Address of the Immigrant Belief Board to the Public At a mass meeting of the colored citizens of Indianapolis, held in Betl J el A. M. B church, on Monday evening, tho 24th of November, the undersigned were appointed acomnitteo to devise ways and means of caring forany destitute imnvgran 8 who may come to our Stato from the South Wo do not stop now to discuss the causes that have led to this exodus of our people from tho South. We simply say that' no reasonable man who mingles and converses with these people can doubt that in the South they are defrauded, persecuted, proscribed, denied their political rights, and treated in general with the most inhuman barbarity. They leave their homes to cscapo outrages to which no freeman should be subjected in a free country. They come to Indiana because they expect to find a nobler civilization, humane treatment, and protection in their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness In this expectation they will not be disappointed. m y These people are our kindred bound to us by the strongest ties that bind men together, hence we feci it an imperative duty to mike provision for the temporary relief of any

who may bo in need. "We accord

ingly appeal to the generous people of Indiana to aid us in this benevolent work by contributions of money, clothing and other necessaries Contributions may be given to any of the committee, or left with llev.
