It will bare careful reading, and on thi subject we shall have more to say in our next issue. Congress assembled thursdav after a vacation of two weeks, and judging from the oeuing day it w ill le a pretty lively session. There are many wrongs to be righted, manv abu.-cs to be looked after and corrected and much solid work to be done. Congressman Orth does not like the manner in which Mr. Keifcr has constituted the committees, and proposes to raise a racket about it. He thinks that somelxxlv has been jdiirhtcd. If the honorable member from the Dth District and his brother members from the State of Indiana would look a little nearer home, it is our opinion that they would discover a slight of much greater ' -' import, and one which if it is not rem edied will surev bear truit.

In the mind of anv sane man there cannot possum ex.1 11 ist a doubt as to the sanity and respou sibility of the egotistical villain, when he fired the shot that placed the civi ized world in mourning and roblieü its grandest nation of a head. Neither CT does there exist in the mind of any hon est man a doubt that such a villain should die die dangling at the end o the hangman's rope; and the sooner the better. Miss Clara Louise Kellogg did a very commendable act at Milan, Tenn., last Wednesday. Miss Kellogg and her con cert troupe enroute for Memphis stoppet at Milan for dinner. The entire troupe accompanied by Miss Kellogg's colore maid entered the refreshment room anc a according to their usual custom, all took seats at the same table. At this junct ure the proprietor of the hotel steppet lorwaru and lniormea the colored man that separate tables were reserved for the accomodation of colored people Miss Kellosrir became indignant at the proprietor's interference, and suggested i i ii .i that it her colored mam could not ikj permitted to cat at the table with her the whole troup wonld leave the hotel. This had the tendency to cool down the proprietor at once, and the colored ruak was served without further delay. Church Prejudice. New York Herald. It is said that the governing author ities of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Maryland have declined to ordain a young colored graduate oi a Northern theological seminary. I ins colored student was anxious to enter into the ministry in a State where there is a large Negro population. No reason is specified for the refusal, but the inference is that the white Episcopal clergymen did not care to have as an associate a member of the colored race. It is not our purpose to dissect the motives which animate anv religious denomination in managing its affairs, but at a time when there is more than usual anxiety among religious people as to the decadence of ' faith, the coldness in ecclesiastical affairs, the want of energy and zeal in the cause of religion, it is not encouraging to see a distinguished body of Christians decline the services of a trained divine leea use of the color of his skin. Lord Maeaulay in one of his essays draws a striking contrast letween the methods employed by the Church of Rome and those of the Church of England in spreading the faith. Rome accepted the services of St. Ignatius and allowed him to do his work in his own wav. His Order even now is a vast and growing power in the Roman Church. The Episcopal Church had a Loyola in the person of Wesley, but

she drove Lim out, and the consequence was the creation of a new Church, knowing not the hierarchy of England. Nothing could be wiser, even in a merely sectarian view, than for Protestant Episcopalians in the South to encourage the education anil ordination of colored men whose hearts are inspired to enter upon the ministry. They could do invaluable work among the large colored population throughout the Southern States in the way of propagandism more efficiently, probablv, than it could

e done bv whites. Any religious sect which refuses to recognize the value of such agencies will surely lehold other sects exclude it from the held. MISSISSIPPI POLITIC. The Bonrbona to be Left in Julet Poaaeaton 9t1jr Orowth of the Indepeudent Movement. (Indianapolis Journal.) Washington. Dec. 5. Ex Senator Bruco who has bovin constantly in receipt of infr. mat ion from his native State of Mississippi Bxt.-d to-day that there would be no atmptson the part of the Independents in r that Si&to to form an txtraordinary Governmont with the hope of recognition by tre Prerident and the United States Government The Greenback element of the Lib eral party bad, pievicus to the election, pledged themselves to take this step if they were counted out, and felt in duty bound to make the effort. The Republicans, however, aa a party, refused to countenanco any kuch movement, and the .Liberal Democrats themselvej were indisposed to it. A number of Independent leaders came to this city some dys ago, and held a consultation with exSenator Bruce on the eubject of their proba ble recognition by the President, and the fcteps they proposed to take. The Kegister opposed tfce movement and told them they ought not to expect the President to consider any such hypothetical proposition as they proposed to ly before them: it would be an embarrassment to him in that there would be no evidence on which to base such recognition, and he would have no direct reason fortu.h Tfc gnition, the Bourbon Govern ment being prima tacie in the riebt, lne Independent leaders, theretore, relinquished the plan ani returned home without ap proaching the President upon tne eubject. Another reason for the failure of the scheme wa the fact that a large number of vouns men in the State who have heretofore worked with the. Bour tons are fjreitly disgusted with their method and with the continued mo nopoly on the p:irt of old men, ex-Confederates, and other.", of all the offices, shutting out all hope of advancement for them, and are ready to join any new movement that presents it-elf. It is said that if the Virginia election had been held four weeks previous to thut in Mississippi, the success of the Ke adjusters would have sent at least 20,000 young voters over to Ben King, the Inde pendent candidate. Any attempt to set up aa extraordinary government, therefore, would result in driving these young men back into the Bjurbcn party, and it i con sidered best to suffer a year or two, with prospects of a substantial victory at last.

Washington 1). C, Jan. 2, 1882. Those supposed to be fortunately happy people who roost on the top round of" the social ladder in this city, have been enjoying a delightfully delicious bit of scandal recently, concerning the new British minister to this country. The facts which gave rise to the talk are these: The gentlemen in question, Sir Lionel Sackville-West, is a widower and and the father of three daughters, one of them grown. The gossips had it, and it was so published in some of the news papers, that Sir Lionel though the father 01 an interesting family, was not and had never been married, in short that he belonged to the Sarah Bernhardt sort of heads of families. It is understood the British jroverument was raked fore and aft by hightoned scandalmungers for daring to have the temerity to send such a representative to this coun try; and the gentleman himself was made the target of numlierless bundle of scandal Kirlnxl arrows, aimed bv the very (Vile of American siK'iety. In fact he was absolutely "excoriated" for daring to present himself at our American court, environed (as they thought) with the same character of family relation that encumbered Mile Burnhardt, to see whom they gladly paid the highest theat rical price imposed by managerial harks. It mav be readily imagined that after all the splenetic scandal emit ted, it was a great diapjoiutinent to Washington society to Ik; informed that 8ir Lionel had actually Ihhmi married, 1 1 ! 1 11 ana was a wmower instead 01 a iicrnhardter. Such, however, sad to relate, is the truth. My reasons for mentioning this allair are to encourage all hapless ioople, lloosier, ISuckeye, sucker, or what not, who may Irj weary and cast down by rcasouot wicked, malicious au.l untrutl iul aspersions concerning their virtue aud private rectitude. It b barely pos sible there may be a few such unfortunates on the classic banks of the Wahal or White rivers. If there are, let them take courage bv this incident the his tory of Sir Lionel Sackville-West. Chairman Burrows of the Committee T ii.in.i..!. uu .territories, says mat uaiwota lmssesses every requisite necessary to admis sion into the sisterhood of States. Bills have been introduced in both Senate and House to cflect this end, and Da kota will very likely become one of the States before the adjournment of Con gress. T. 1,1. !., 1 it wouiu ue wen 11 tne young coiorct men of the country would become in fected with the Dakota "fever," am emigrate thither in large numbers. They would find excellent opportunitie to rise to wealth and prominence in the new commonwealth. Uut there shoul be discrimination and method in thi? business of emigrating. The idea of 1 wholesale "exodustiug" of entire com munities, aud in many instances of en tire families, should Ihj abandoned. Suel v migration is abnormal, un-American ami productive in most instances of bac results. The young men of the country are the ones who should emigrate. A t all rememlier Horace Greeley's advice to the aspiring youth of the land, to "go West and grow up with the countrv This was valuable advice to the young men of the country when given by the late philosopher of the Tribune; and it is excellent advice still to the young men of the Negro race in this country. They, and not the old aud decrepit, should be the pioneers of a million or two of Negro Americans who in 20 years should be found located in what are now our territorial divisions. Land is cheap; labor is scarce and wages high, and opportunities to become rich, plentiful. There is need, too, of discrimination to some extent in the kind and character of the young men who should go West. Men of energy, pluck, muscle, determination, and perseverance are the ones who should go. Of course they are the kind who succeed every where, but from the very character of the olSteeles and difficulties to he met and overcome, they are especially the ones who should go to a new country. It is quite probable and doubtless true that young colored men who expect to make their way in the world by their education, will not do quite so well in the West at present as those who depend upon their, muscle, that is, their labor, or those who have money to engage in business. But such young men should not be discouraged from going to the territories, if they realy desire to do so; for, while the South doubtless offers better opportunities to them, just now, yet it will not lie long before their accomplishments will be of value to them in the West. None who have energy, youth and physical ability should be dissuaded from going. It is well for the colored people of the country, too, to get out of the idea that there is but one place in the West to which they can emigrate. In many places in the South, Kansas is the only known section of the West which offers a refuge and opportunities to emigrants while as a matter of fact there are other States and Territories which no doubt offer better advantages than Kansas, or equally as good. There lies buried almost anywhere in the IxMindless West, a mine of wealth to the young man who possesses the courage and perseverance to dig it out.

The Indtvidtril SnoU Creating a Sensation nt LouUville The Faith Cure. LoiisviLLK, Ky., Jan. 5. Kev. George 0. Barnes, the Mountain Evangelist of Ken tucky, a modern Lorenzo Dow, has been creating a Sensation in this city during the week bv his fervice at the Chestnut Street BaptM Church, lie is a firm believer In what ia termed the faith cure, and at the conclusions of his service he, culling up the atHicted, anoints them, prays for their recovery, nnd assures them all will be well if they have faith. Mr. Darius cluims that God never damns, but it is the devil who does, and says he makes sickness and disease. God healj every day. We see in the newspaper the lie that it hath plea.-ed God to remove our brother. God didn't remove Lim. It pleased the devil to remove. The Lord gave and the Lurd hath taken away is a lie started by old Job when he was in deep fllll'Ction. There is not a bit of truth in it The Lord giveth, bur the devil taketh away. "God has constituted us," he continued, "that though the devil may lay grief upon us, it toon wears out. lime heals us. 1 he weep ing widow will console Jierself in a year and a half bv marrying another man. Watch and pray. This Divine injunction used to trouhie me a great deal. I couldn t under stand it. I would pray to the Lord and watch the devil, then pray the Lord and w itch the world and Ilesh.and then the devil would slip up behind and catch me, but thank uod I am over that dithculty now. I i ray the Lord, and watch, too.and lie pro tect" me. He will not let me perish so lung as I look to 1 1 im." Mr. Barnes caused the peo ple to loos around at each other in amazenent when lie beheaded the devil.

'So you see, my friends.the devil is mean all the way through, and I don't intend to have anything more to do with him." At the conclusion of each hour's service he invites backsliders and sinners to come forward and Lave their sin-sick souls cured, atter wiuca ne extends an invitation to thealHicted in body to come and be healed. If none come forward he do's not inti.-t. but savs the will do so be fore he is done here, lie does not seem in the least discouraged at the apparent slow progress for good, but feels that he has done his best and leaves the result with God. A Julei Little Transaction Uetween Two ;dlemcu on the Cars in the West. Philadelphia Times.) "Playin' poker is mighty dang'rous bizness, boys." said Jerry Greening the other night as he wme i::to the llliamson House barroom, at Lackawaxen. Some of "the boys" were indulging in a little game of tiraw poker, with a limit, just to pass away the time. Judge Ridgway, the champion sucker hshernian of this region asked Jerry if he would take a hand. ' No, t dankte, said tne veteran yarn spinner as he helped him.elt t a "chaw ' ol Lijs l'elion s tobacco; "1 tont a takin nostock in keeni playin' nowadays.

J "I'll kill you in two minutes if you will only take these chains and bracelets off me," said James lUirke, an insane inmate of the Alms House, to Dr. Richardson yesterday. This kind offer the physician llatly refused to take advantage of, and he remarked: "Jimmy, I guess you had better keep them on, because you might hurt yourself if you get loose." Burke laughed in a fiendish sort of manner at this, and walked off to have a talk with some of his half-witted companions. As he proceeded across the room his chains rattled and clanked, and the unfortunate nun seemed to enjoy the noise, for he made every effort to move them. For fifteen years Bur.:e has been handcuffed. He wears a stout chain about his waist, with two short ones reaching to his elbows. These are attached to a set of the usual sort of biacelets used for cuffs. Although the man has worn them for so many years yet the skin is not rubbed off. and he does not seem to suffer. The bracelets are as bright as if they were nickelplated, and with a shrewdness worthy of a man in his right mind Burke has made himself a leather covering for the inside, which protects the skin and bones from the wear. "That is one of the most remarkable cases in the institution," said Dr. Richardson to the Record reporter. "Everything he does is by appointment. If he tries to 1 ill you he will tell you that he had an appointment to do so, and he considers it his duty to carry this out. Burke came hereagood many years ago from the Penitentiary, where he was serving a sentence for highway robbery. The man was considered a harmless lunatic, and the homicidal mania which afterward developed itself was not apparent. He was used as a helper in the cook bouse. One day in 1859, while he was cutting meat, he turned to the head cook, and said: 'Jimmy, did you say so and so?' at the same time making an obscene remark. 'No,' replied the cook. 'Well, you never will say it,' quickly replied Burke, and turning around he split the cook's head open with the cleaver. Then he ran after the assistant cook, a woman; he chopped her head so badly that she died the next day, and he pursued the housekeeper with the idea of making mince-meat of her. She escaped, and Burke went back to the cook house. He submitted to capture, informed the officers that he had done the murderous deed by appointment and only regretted that the housekeeper had escaped. lie was locked up then for some years, and while in his room tried to kill himself, but he never succeeded. One day Mr. Whitall, who was President of the Guardians, asked me if I could not lettheman out togetsome fresh air and sunlight. I told him it was dangerous. 'Well,' said Mr. Whitall, 'you can conjure up some method of restraint for this poor creature So I had these chains and bracelets made for him, and for fifteen years, night and day, he has worn them. Every now and then he has an 'appointment.' He ttied to kill a number of the inmates, and one day attacked a nurse named Weiler, whom he pummeled badly. "I was considerably amused one day when I met Burke with a magnificent black eve. 'How did you get that?' I asked. 'Oh, Jimmy Galligher hit me yesterdsy.' Burke answered. 'Well, did you pound him for it?' I asked. 'No; it was by appointment,' replied the insane man; "'it's all right.' 'And you stood up and let him black your eye?' I repeated. 'Didn't I tell you it was by appointment?' said Burke. It was selfevident that Gallieher, who was another crazy man, had punched Burke jvell. and 1 afterward learned that the latter stood up like a sand-ba; and never flinched until one of the nurses came and stopped the sport. If Burke had not been chained there would have been a dead Galligher, certain. "öieakiug of this case," said the Doctor, ''reminds me of a woman we had here once, but whom ac sent to the Norristown Asylum. She h id a mission on earth to kill babies so as to make angels of thorn. Just as Burke had an appointment, so this female had amission. It is the same species of insanity, only a use of different words. The woman was caught by her husband one day just as she was about to push a pau into the oven containing their youngest child. She intended to hake it. Roasted angel may be very good in the Feejee Islands, but it is not fashionable here. This same woman threw two of her daughters' babies out of a second-story window, and fortunately they landed on a shed. But at lat she made a real angel out of a baby, which she tossed from a thirdstory window, and which, much to her stirprise, instead of sailing up to the heavens. fell Hat to the ground and had the breath knocked out of it. That woman tried to kill herself when she was brought here. Jt is a noteworthy fact that persons of homicidal tendencies also show a disposition to commit suicide. I recall another case, that of a youug man named George Welsh, who shot and killed his mother. One day he told me he shot his mother because whenever he ate anything she would not let his food 'regest' he meant digest. Then he added: 'Xow that she is dead I can eat, and feel tmt-rate.' He was one of the dumbest men I ever saw, and in a short time after admission became a victim of dementia." Life.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.

Tlie Unusual Experience or n. Xx"inlii 011 1; 3Iu 11 Made lulllc. The following article from the Democrat and Chronicle, of Rochester, X. Y , is of so striking a nature, and emanates from so reliable a source, ihat it is herewith re-published entire. In addition to the valuable matter it contains, it will be found exceedingly interesting. To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle: Sir: My motives for the publication of the most unusual statements which follow are, first, gratitude for the fact that I have been saved from a most horrible death, and secondly, a desire to warn all who read this statement against some of the most deceptive influences by which thev have beensurrounded. It is a fact todav thousands of lieonle are within a foot of the grave aud they do not know it. To tell how I was caught away from just this position and to warn others against Hearing it, are the objects in this communication. On the first day of June 1881, 1 lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting lor death. Heaven ouly knows the agony 1 then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet if a few years previous, any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a dis ease, I should have scofled at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy had weighed 200 Hi and hardly knew, in my own exjerience, what paiu orsickness were Yen- inanv people who will read this state ment realize at titnts that thev are unusuallv tired and cannot account for it. Thev feci dull and indefinite pains in different parts of the btnlv and do not understand it. Or thev are exceedingly hungry one dav and entire ly without appetite the next. 1 his was iut the way I felt when the relentless malady which had Listened itself nton me first began Still I thought it was nothing; that probably l liad taken a cold winch would soon pass awav. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at times neuralgic, pain in my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, 1 paid hut little attention to it. However, my stomach was out of order and my e . i . i t i i a ! uxwi oiicn laneo to tilgest, causing at times gr,at inconvenience. Yet 1 had no idea, even thing serious or that a monstrous disease was becoming lixed upon me. Caudidlv, I thought i was suffering from malaria and w doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a licculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing also that there were large quantities one dav and verv little the next, and that a tw distent froth orscum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment sUtled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize uiy danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, 1 finally ccame av customed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the atk-cted organs or m their vicinity. hv I should have been so blind I cannot understand. There is a terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger usuallv brings a person to his senses even though it may then be too late. I realized at last, my critical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, Oh! how hard 1 tried! I consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs in America, and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. Xo two physlcians agreed as to my malady. One said 1 was troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostration; another, malaria: another, dysjRpsia; another, heart disease; another general debi lit v; another congestion of the base of the brain: and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of all of which I really had. In this way se veral years passed, during all of which time I was steadily growing worse. Mv condition had really become pitiable, ihe slight symploms l at nrst experienced were developed nuo icrriuie anu constant uisoruers tne little twigs ot pain had grown to oaks of agony. .My weight had been reduced from 20i to 130 pounds. My life was a torture to myself and friends. 1 could retain no food upou my Momacu, auu meu wnoiiy uy injections, 1 was a living mass ot pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I trequently fell upon the floor, clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six davg and nights 1 had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys in its last stages. While suffering thus 1 received a call from my pastor, the Kev. Dr. Foote, rector of St. Paul's Church, of this citv. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation he mentioned a remedy of which I had heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it. As a practicing physician and a grad uate of the schools, 1 cherished the preju dice both natural and common with all reg ular practitioners, and derided the idea of anv medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitous how ever was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised that I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June and lOOK 11 accoruiug 10 uirccuons. nrst it sickened mc; but this I thought was a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it: the sickening sensation departed and I was able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a de cided change for the better as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased anil I experienced less pain than formerly was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few days before was my dving bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures in ihe Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, stating in full the symptoms and almost hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe I'owe my life and present condition wholy to "Warners &afe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly investigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths develoed arc astounding. I therefore state deliberately and as r physician, tint I believe more than one-half the deaths which (xxtr in America are caused ry Brwht's Disease of the Kidxevs. This may sound like a rash statement but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's Disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own, (indeed it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity,) hut has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized bv a physician's certificate of "Heart Disease,"" "AMplexv." "Paralysis," ' Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia," and other common complaints, when in reality it was Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into the gvttew like a thief, manifests its presence by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, cjuite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Inktead of common symptoms it often shows

none whatever, but brings death suddenly, and such is usually supposed to he heartdisease. As one who has suffered and knows by bitter exwrience what he hays, I implore

overy one who reads these words not to neg lect the slightest symptom of Kidnev dillicultv. Certain agony and possible death will be the sure result of such neglect, and no one can afford to hazard such chances. 1 am aware that such an unqualified state ment as this, coming from me, known as I am througout the entm land as s practition er and lecturer, will arouse the surprise and possible animosity of the nudical profusion and astonish all with whom I am acquainted, but I make the foegoing statements based ujKn facts which 1 am prepared to produce and truths which I can substantiate to Unlet ter. The welfare of those who may jms bly be sufferers such as 1 was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and if I can succtssfullv warn others from the dangerous path in w hich I once walked, 1 am willing to endure ail professional and personal consequence.

A Pretty Western Rpintore. llavenport Democrat.J A brother and sitter have met after a separation of twenty years, and the meeting ha been brought about in Davcr.port by the little son ot the sister in a most peculiar way. One week ago yesterday the raft steamer Clyda went into Daverjpi rt on her way North, and Captain Douglass tied up his boat ft r awhile in order to Drra't pome of the crew to go ahote and make purchase. Among others who went ashore was Aaron Carter, a raf.smar. The weather was vrv cold, with a keen, northwest wind. While going ah ng the street Carter met a poorly clad little bey, who was running along, crying bitterly. Carter atked him what was the matter, and the little lad sobbed out: "I'm co!d." 'Come with me," raid Carter, and, taking the boy to a clothing store, be bouerr, him a suit of clothes and a pair of mittens. He then asked the boy his name Aaron Dunlap,' was the reply. Carter was thunderstruck. "Aaron Dan lap, he cried. " Where- are your father ar.d mother?" Futhe.-is dead," the boy replied. "Well, take me to our mother, then, m ou;eklv as yCu can,'' säid Carter. The hoy took him to hia humble home, and when Carter entered the house the boy's mother ruhed , into his aims with a ihhek that made all the other occupants of the tenement bouse rush into the hall to see what was the matter. Carter had found a rister whom he Lad net eeen since the year 18G2, when he went to war with a Maine regiment. Violent excitement exhausts the mind and haves it withered and sterile. Fetelon.
