The Discussion,

Ep. BANNER:—I see in your issue of Nov. Ist, an article headed *Accept-~ ed,” written by Elder Winebrenner.— It is in reply to my article of Oct, 18th, in which Elder Corliss and the writer accepted his ichallenge, and by so doing it does not follow that we are under obligations to accept his questions for discussion.. .. !

We reject thequestions simply from the fact they'do not present what we ~ teach, and, consequently do not cover the difference of opinion existing be‘tween us on said points. Had we ac_cepted the questions when we did the ‘challenge we would not have offered some. ' As soon as the questions are ~accepted, the time and place can be easily determined upon. We will not discuss his questions for reasons stat--ed. Space will not perndit me to give the reasons why the questions do not cover the ground. L The writer had an appointment last spring to debate with Elder W.on the Sabbath question. ' Time, place and question agreed upon, but an account of sickness Elder W. could not be present. Now he has an opportunity to discuss with the writer. Am on the ground and there is no necessity of calling Elder Corliss from his ‘ field of labor. ' . g - Yours, in favor of the truth, ki s S. H.

Is the Rome City Dam Secure? Fort Wayne Gazette. ! : Visitors to Rome City can not have failed to notice the evidently precarious and unsafe condition of the reservoir embankments. Last spring, during high water, it was only by the most strenuous efforts of the large force of men employed by the Grand ‘Rapids railway company, who worked night:and day, that the reservoir was saved from being carried away. Unless this matter receives proper attention, nothing is more probable than that the great Fall and Mill rivers disasters of Massachusetts, in which so-many people perished, and millions of dollars’ worth of preperty were lost, will be repeated. Rome City has a deep reservoir, six miles in length, filled several times during the year to its ftmost capacity, bringing a great pressure upon its embankments,which, considering everythiug,cannot be made too secure. = Should the earthworks give away, the lake would empty it- | self into the Elkhart valley and - Bottom lands, which are thickly settled, jeopardizing thousands of lives and destroying property incalculable, 1t is the business of some one to see to this matter, and if the proper parties yill not do it without the interference’ of the people, let them interfere and demand that it be attended to, and that immediately. . pe - True Merit Will Win.

. The True Gentleman, He is above a low act. He'cannot stoop to coramit a fraud. He invades no secret in the keeping of another. He takes selfish advantage of no man’s mistakes. He is ashamed of innuendoes. He uses no ignoble weapons in controversy. He never stabs in the dark, He is notone thing to a man’s face and another to his back. If by accident he comes Into possession of ‘his neighbor’s counsels, he passes them into instant oblivion. He bears sealed packages without tampering with the wax. Papers not meant for his eye, whether they flutter in at his window, or lie open before him in unregarded exposure, are secrets to him. He profanes no -privacy of another, however the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and keys, bonds and securities, notices to trespassers, are not for him. 'He may be trusted out of sight —near the thinnest partition—anywhere. He buys no office, he sells none, intrigues for none. Ile would rather fail of his rights than win them through dishonor. He will.eat honest bread. He tramples on no sensitive feelings. - Heinsults no man. If hohas a rebuke for.another he is straightforward, open, and manly. He cannot descend to scurrility. Billingsgate does not lie on his track. Of woman, and to her, he speaks with decencyand respect. In short, whatever he judges honorable he practices toward every one. He is notalwaysdressed is broadcloth. ‘Some people,’ says a distin‘guished bishop, think a gentleman means a man of independent fortune —a man who fares sumptuously every day; a man who need not, labor for his daily bread. ‘None of these makes a gentleman--not one of them-—nor all of them together. I have known men of the roughest exterior who had been used all their:lives to follow the plow and to look after horses, as thorough gentlemen in heart as any nobleman who ever wore a ducal coronet. I mean, I have known them as unselfish, I have known them as truthful, I have known them as sympathizing; and all these qualities go to make what I understand by the term ‘a gentleman.’” “It is a noble privilege which has been sadly. prostituted; and what I want to tell you is, that the humblest man who has the coarsest work to do, yet, if his heart be tender, and pure, and true, can be, in the most emphatic sense of the word, ‘agentleman.’”— The Christian Statesman. ;

" HuNTERS, TAKE NoTICE!—By referring to page 69 of the acts of the last Legislature, you will find the following law: ; “That any person or persons who shall be guilty of hunting with a dog or dogs, or hunting or. shooting with any kind of fire arms, in inclosed lands, without having first obtained consent of the owner or occupant thereof, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not less than five, nor more than Jifty dollars; provided, that no prosecution ' shall be instituted under the provisions of this act except upon the consent of the owner or occupant of the land entered.” g

“ We direet attention to thislaw, that hunters may be informed ds to their rights. We do not;believe that any man has a-right to go upon the premises of others, running over their crops, knocking down fences, and shooting in fields where stock is being kept,and for such offenses the law assesses a fine of not less than five dollars except consent be first obtained to the person in possession of the premises.

By reducing the army to a basis of 20,000 men the .public expenditures. will be reduced while a sufficient force will remain for the protection of the frontier against the Indians. That is the only purpose for which a regular military establishment is needed.- The people can protect themselves agalnst mob violence whenever it arises to the assault upon the rights of person and property. If ever fhe time arrives.when the people of this country should become so degenerate as to depend on mercenary troops for their protection, their rights and liberties will be no longer worth preserving.— Harrisburg Patriot.

A VIRGINIA farmer has reported rather an odd little incident that he has seen on his farm. He planted some weeks ago timothy seed with his wheat.

' Hayes’ Dilemma. = . WASHINGTON, Nov. 12th.—Tt Jooks very much as though the entire issue between Hayes and his party was narrowed for the present to the admission of'the Louisiana Sénators. Ellis saw Hayes on Saturday night after thecaucus of Senators, and put the matter very frankly and directly before him. If the Administration will use the three votes over which it appears to have some control—Christiancy, Matthews and Dawes—to seat the Louisiana Senators, and Butler, the Democrats will give Hayes a working majority in the Senate upon any nomination he chooses to make. If not, not. Manifestly, if he takes this course he surrenders the control of the .upper branch into Democratic hands. He hesitates to assume such a responsibility, and a technical case in Kellogg’s favor has been prepared of sufficient ingenuity to carry over a doubuful Senator. Between these two steps Hayes wavers. The great Wity ot the democratic Senators hav® no hesitation in expressing their decided determination to leave Hayes to the tender mercies of his party friends, if he declines now to exert his influence to seat the three democratic contestants. If he doesthat, and Conkling and Edmunds can prove that he did, the future for them is clear. So it would be for Hayes. He would be outside and they inside of the party which put Hayes in the Presidential office. :

.. Pushing Candidates. Huntington Democrat., i - We see that many of the country papers throughout the State have already commenced the business of making nominations for the different State offcers. It must be yery gratifying indeed, to men who are qualified to discharge the duties devolving uponan officer of the State, to have some county paper- writing his biography and setting up pins to be knocked down, and making a fool of things generally. 'We would love to see the day when men who desire office would have the courage to let the people know’it, and when the country press would cease such foolishness as nominating men for office a twelve month | preceeding an election. ¢

The Philadelphia Press handles.the silver question thus: *“As legislation can. demonetize silver, it ean demonetize gold. Should we take the diamond as a standard, we .would be worse off than now, because the gems are too rare for commercial purposes. In the same way are we affected by the nate ural scarcity of gold and the unnatur= al debasement of silver.”

A METHODIST preacher in Georgia advances the theory that Judas sold Christ for thirty, pieces of silver merely as a speculation, expecting the Lord would save himself by His mira&ulous power. We venture to say that this is the first time since Christ was crucified ‘that any living being has attempted a defense of Judas Iscariot. i ! ——— e L IT is said that diphtheria was introduced into New England in a virulent form by the exhumation of remains in New Haven.

THE ““ LITTLE GIANT» CATHARTIC, or Multum in Parvo Physiec. . The novelty of modern Medical; Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Science. . No use of any lon;ier ‘taking the lar%e, repulsive, and nausedus pills, composed of cheap, crude, and bulkly ingredients, when we can, by a careful application of chemical science, extract all the cathartic and other medicinal properties from the most valuable roots and herbs, and concentrate them into a minute Granule, scarcely larger than a mustard seed,that can be readily swallowed by those ef the most sensitive stomachs and fastidious tastes. lach little Purgative Pcllet represents, in a most concentrated form, as much cathartic power as is embodied in any of the large pills found for sale in drug-shops. From their wonderful cathartic power, in comparison to their size, people who have not tried them are ag_t to suppose that theg' are harsh or drastic in eflect: but such is not atall the case, the different active medicinal principles of which they are composed being so harmonized and modified, one by the others,.as to produce a most searchinf and thorough, vet §enuy and kindly operating, cathartic. [ ?500 Reward is hereby offered by the proetor of these Pellets, to any chemist who, : ,ll}ion-anmysxs, will find in them any calomel or other forms of mercury, mineral poison, or inJuzious drug. Reing entirely vegetable, no particular care is required while ;usini them. They oiaer‘Bte witholit disturbance to the constitution, diet, or occuimtion. For Jaundice, Headache, Const pgtlonl, Impure lilood, Pain in the Shoulders, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations from the Stomach, Bad taste in the mouth, Bilious attacks, Pain in re= E’lon of Kidneys, Internal Fever, loated feeling about Stomach,Rush of Blood to Head, Hlfih-colorod Urine, Unscciability an Gloomy l‘orebodlngs, take Dr. Pierce’s Please aut Pm(-fiat ve Pellets. In explanation of the remedial power of my Purgatlive Pellets over'so great a variety of diseases, I wish to say that their action upon the animal economy is universal, not a gland or tissue esca(Ping their sanative imFress. Age does not impair the progertles of hese Pellets. They are sugar-coated and inclosed in glass bottles, their virtues being thereby preserved unimpaired for any length of time, in any climate,.so that they are alwavs fresh and reliable. This is not the case with those pills which are put up in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes. Recollect that for all disa eases where a Laxative, Alterative, orf Purgative, is indicaled, these little Pellets will f;ive ‘the most perfect satisfaction to all who use them, : They are sold by all BDruggists at 25 cents a bottle.
