Now, there i» about the coolest place of offlc*el stupidity (If it Isn't something worm than stupidity) that T. T. remember* to have aocn for some time. Tho «raod jury passed that resolution. The

Krand jury, whoso business—and whose •duty—It la at each and every session, to take cogniwince of any and all violatlona of law. Tie grind jury that adjourned last Mondaytbo» rmmbers of which •were so afrukl of some saloon keeper getting Into trouble, that tbey passod Abe above resolution as a warning, and made a special request that it be published In all tb* city paper*, which request has now been duly complied with.

What au accommodating grand jury it is, to be MUIV IIow considerate in It *thua to notify the saloon keepers just how long they titay safely coutinuo to openly violate the law, and the exact tirao in which they will be expected to lay low" and confine themselves on Sundays to a quiet back-door taurines^! Mow it must regret that duty and detrHnj compel it occasionally to trouble its dear friend*, eve a in this mild and unobtrusive manner! How it must hate longed to taok au abject apology on |o \ho resolution excopt for an instinctite fear that an outraged public might resort to rotten eggs or soma other oqualjy Htrong expression of its contempt arjd indignation! How tho conscientious members st that Jury must have hastened around to the various bar-rooms to make personal explanations and take tree drinks! How gratifying it must have been to thom as they clinked glasses, to recelvo the assuranco of such gentlemen ns Tom Godsey, and such ladles as Mrs. Ablgal Cunulngnam, that they woald bo on their guard during "the next session, in January, 1878."

T. T. trusts tbat no saloon keeper filled to make proper acknowledgment of his or liar obligation to the grand Jury torUs action In this matter. Ingratitudo Is ono of tho blackout of sins, and ingratitude In a case 11 ko this would be deserving of an indictment. Of course It I* notorious that every saloon in this ci»y, with possibly two or three rare exceptions, violate the liquor, or rome other law, every day of the yoar. Every one of them, with the possible exceptions already mentioned, violate it openly and in the sight of everybody. On Sundays, the front doors are closed, but they arc *eldom locked and tho back doors are always open. Everybody knows this who knows anything about wakxms. The grand Jnry knows it as well as others do—perhaps batter than many—and its loyalty to the saloon interest, under the circumstances and ^considering the oath it takes, Is all the tusre noteworthy. The occasional indictments that It brings In no wand then should not be counted against it. They cannot always be avoided. And then it should be remembered tbat very few of them stick after they sro brought in. A *harp attorney is generally able to have them thrown out ef court on some technical point sr other. The grand Jury jnhows a disposition to dc the best it «n and T. T. doe* not believe that sensible saloon krop*ra are going to complain of it.

In this city of Terrs 11 sate, the IJqtior I AW is a !n»d letter—all except that portion of it requiting the payment of Jlcenae*. If one will only jwy bis 11cenae, h* may do anything else in his saloon that he pleases. He may have gambling, fighting, stealing he may yaeil to (tenors or drunken men be may jkeep a bawdy bouse, a Biro bank—anyiblngt bu* Bene of tbe*« disqualify him for selling liquor and if he will only be cautious while the prand Jnry is in session, be nocd never be Indicted or pay a cent lu the way of finea. And, the grand jnry will warn him when tbete is danger {-warn htm weeks before the time, ao tba« 'f be gets Into trouble. It Is dearly hhi own fruit, and he shonld loot cb*rgo it totbe grand Jniy.

itors take alarm and business stops. The campaign against the cyprians continues until perhaps one-fourth of all the most notorious nee have been "salted and then it stops as suddenly ss It begsn. and peace reigns. It may be that not another arrest will be made for three months. Business at these bou-ws may be resumed with perfect safety, and without present danger of interruption. The regular tribute has been levied and paid. Whether all that was paid has gone into the coffers of the city or not, is a question that nobody discusses. Whether the unfortunate women have purchased immunity for any specified length of time is another mystery. The periodic collection has been taken up and there'll be no other 'till the right time comes round.

It has been about three weoks now since the last general raid was mado, and, in all probability, will be about nine more until the next. At least it seeim to T. T. that they come about three months apart and it is probable tbat tbat is about as often as tboy tn be relied upon to turn out successfully, In a financial point of view. Of coun»3 it is not the intention to suppress such bouses entirely. That would be "killing the goose that laj-s the greenback egg," and would nover do. Feople of an observing tarn of mind will find this matter a curieus and interesting study.

i«, -i it 4 REVIVALS! This is tho yoar of revivals. For some months past there has been throughout the country sn unusual degree of interest in the subject of religion, fhe movement has not been confined to the localities in which Moody and Sanky have boen engaged. Thero have been revival meetings in many places throughout the various States. Almost all the ministers, without regard to do-' nomination, have been preaching on the subject. All the churches have been praying for revivals. An atmosphere of unusual earnestness has been noticeable in the houses of religious worship for many weeks past. Thero has seemed to be a general Impression in the public mind that tho present winter would be characterized as a great revival season. Tho secular newspapers have devoted more apace and attention to religious subjects than thoy commonly do. Whether the result will Justify the confident expectations of the churches or not can not now be foretold. It is certain tbat a more than ordinary religious feeling pervade* the community at tho present time and that we are in, or arc entering upon, a "revival season," whether of greater or smaller magnitude.

The history of these religious awakenings is somewhat peculiar. It has been observed that tbey occur with a certain regularity after times of panic, depression and disa-iter, or of long spiritual torpor. After tho agitation comos repose. The tempest of enthusiasm parses by after lite storm there Is a calm.

Doubtless the general effect of a rellgiooa revival is beneficial. Tho public morals are to some extent improved. Tho minds of the people are directed to the contemplation of higher things. The ordinary employments of life cease to possess such absorbing interest. There is a turning from the temporal to the spiritual. There is, as it wore, a kind of religions atmosphere brooding over the land which Imbues every ore with Its influence.

Individually considered revivals do both good and harm. Many person* are made better in other* physical disorders are engendered from which tlie victlnts never recover. The great revival whirl) began in the Eastern SJito* in U8U seat many deluded people to tin* hospitals and Insane asylums. Tbat revival was, however, characterised by untunud intensity. A host of enthusiasts marched from piano to place with bannera, carrying consternation In their coarse. Ball roams were converted into pieces of prayer and theatres into churches. Unlsttered men preached night and day with the fury of Inspiration while the educated clergy who could not go to the wild extremes of the revivalists were stigmatised aa holding sponges of vinegar to the parcsbed Ups of sinners Instead of offering them the free water of ft#. There is probably no do«M but the revival ten good fruit it la certain that It bora some that waa net g*»od. Oat of tt came the socalled "Pauline (3mrch" and the baneDal doctrine of "afltoltlea.** One of its maxima waa tbat "when a man Is saved the first thing he dose hi to find his para* dia»and hie Kve." Husbands left their wives and srtvaa their heehands la order to form spiritoal marrtagea with their aplritoal counterparts. Tha raralt is femillar to mssy. The gToeeest lewdness was perpetrated in the name of x*» Ngton.

into oonvulsions and catalepsy. I*eop2e have been rendered insensible to pain by religions frensy. The dervishes of Cairo tie prostrato on their feces while the Sbeik rides over them mounted on a horse, they believing tbat the horse is upheld by spiritusl sgency and thus csnnot hurt them. In Franco women have suffered themselves to be crucified, hsving the crown of thorns pressed npon their besds and nails driven through tbeir bands and feet and dedaied that they felt no pain. The Jerkera, Jumpers and Shakers (named*after their peculiar muscular exercises) are given to these nervous disorders. No absurdity, it would seem, can be too gross to sppesr rea*onablo to this religious fanaticism. There is, or used to be, a small body of people In the United States who carried out literally the scriptural injunction to become as little children, by rolling snd tumbling on the tloor, playing with dolls, trundling hoops, imitating the talk of infknts and in every way conducting themselves liko children. These people believe that by such foolish conduct they are serving God.

Tho revival which is now in progress in various parts of tho oountry appears to be character isod by less demonstration and extreme conduct than many of lis predecessors. This is a good symptom. There aro many people who believe nioro in "tho still small voice" than in the tempestuous whirlwind. Roligion should never be divorced from reason. When it is it runs to excesses which are harmfol and dangerous.

Shows Show Pgopl^ 11 The Centennial exhibition of the city schools last Saturday evening was ofto of the most enjoyable entertainments that the teachers and pupils havo ever given, and, without going into details, th.it is saying a great deal, /or our people look back with pride to many interesting exhibitions. The Opera Houko was well filled and tbe proceeds netted over two hundred dollars.

Our people were highly pleased with the artistic performance of the amatenr vocalists of Mattoon, who came over On Tuesday evening snd rendered the Cahtata of Esther at tlie Opera House. The costuming was magnificent and t^e piece was put on the stage in excellent style. On tho whole tho execution was far above the usual amateur perfomanbes, and some of the personations, would havo done crodit to professionals. Mr. Stanley, the leider, made a fine impression with his voice and showod admirable fitness in training and leading amateur vocalists in a mifslcal composition of this character. The audience should have boen much larger yet it was by uo means a small one. Should our Mattoon friends come again at somo nvro favorable season they can rely on a more enthusiastic welcome. Come again.

It was not a largo audience, but a batter pleased one we have seldom seen than that assemble at the Opera House, Thursday evening, on tho occasion of the first visit of Bryant's Mi»stre. Our po«ple soem never to tire of tbe quiet, easy-going Lew Benedict. T. jfl. Ilenglcr, formerly of Delahanly Jt Ilejigler has gotten up a well constructed character change act that might be improved with a little less approach to the skirt lifting can-can. The banjo ducts of Adams and Lee excel anything tn tbat line, and Ooss and Fox in their original sketch were dimply immense.

The Calico Bali to be given for tbe benefit of the family of the lato Michael Rink will take place at Dowling Hall, on Monday evening, the 20th inst. It is scarcely necessary to again remind our read* rs of the peculiar claim this ball has upon public generosity. Every clttzen is familiar with tbe melanclioly events that havo shrouded tbo past three years of Mrs. Rink's life. Stricken down in tho prime of his young manhood by the bullet of a drunken, unprincipled rowdy, she has watched with agony such as few of us will over know, a devoted, loving, and beloved husband die, inch by inch, and kis murderer go free and unpunished. Bereaved, heartbroken, and utterly destitute, she turns away, from ills grave to face the world agaln'and to lake up the battlo of life as best she may. Poor woman! broken down in hoallb, crushed in spirit, the brightness and tbe beauty of life forever extinguished, the cruel winter already at hand—tbe prospect might well appall a stouter heart! Frierda it is our pri vilffge to lift somewhat the weight that is ng upon her—to make the present [era bard to bear! Let us do It In no niggardly spirit, but aa we am able, with a free and willing heart What do you say

Tlie now City Hall will be formally opened to the public, Christmas eve. That well kuowrt and highly popular benevolent society, the Red Men, will do the honors and w« may expect one of the very ni -oU balls that has ever been given in this city. The high character of all tho members of the society la so well known that no one will feel any doubt to what kind of peaple be will meet there. That tha attendance will be just what it ought, may berelkd upon. The entire proceeds of tbe ball will be used in benevolent work among tbe city poor this winter. Tha object is a most worthy one.
