And it came to pass that the proi prietor of a preparation for extinguishing the festive Moth that doth infest the raiment of the soldiers of the Republic went to Meigs.
And now Meigs was a mighty man of valor, innocent of all deceet and in whom was no guile. He was also Quartermaster General of the army of the Republic.
The name of him who had invented the Moth extinguisher was Webstec whose name was David and he lived at Concord which is in the State of New Hampshire where the price of voters is $50 a head.
He traveled by day and by night from his native hiils to the seat of government, which is at Washington.

And when he reached the capital, he straightway proceeded to the War Department, which is over against the President's palace, aud on the street jcalled Washington, which is broad and straight, like unto a certain other street, wherein many walk, that leadsth to das true i/ion.
And wheu he had come to the WaDepartment, he shook tbe dust fromr his sandals, and entering in asked for Quartermaster General Meigs.
When he came into the presence of that mighty potentate he abased himself, aud being commanded rose to his feet and said '•O Meigs, thou art mighty, thou rulest among the sons of men, and thou art Quartermaster General of the Army of the Republic.
Be it known to thee, O Meigs, that an insect called the moth doth sorely afflict and grieviously devour the raiment of the soldiers, wherewith they arMy themselves for battle and whereio^they enfold themselves at nights, and the tents in which they sleep.
Rehold, O Meig*, I have invented aproparation, which, if you catch the moth, and rub some of it on his face, will sorely distress him and cause his death."
Then there was great ruuning to and fro in the War Department, and many Congressman called on Meigs and commeuded Webster and his moth killer to his consideration.
And it came to pass that Meigs decided tousa tbe moth killer and he said unto David whose sur-name was Webster "What benefit will it be
And David whoso sur-naine was

... -r«. .:

Webster anaweriDg said unto Meigs "l'c will kill your moths.,^ Unto him Meigs said, "And how much will you give me if I put it in general use?"
To him replying on his native tongue, David whose sur-name was Webster said "Notadamcent General" and he returned home.
And behold his moth exterminator was not adopted and has not been until this day, though tho raiment of the soldiers is sorely eaten by them.
And now all this happened in the second year of the second term of Ulysses, first, whose maxim is to lay up treasure on Earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and thieves break through aud steal. Selah.
We do not suppose thatThomas A. Hendricks, would fill the public .offices with rascals, as Grant has, if he were elected President.
We do not suppose he would drivefast horses, or keep a cottage by the sea.
We do not suppose be would be eter" nally pictured with a cigar in his mouth as the one unfailing sign of his identity.
We do not suppose that all of his, and of his wife's relations to the fifth and sixth generation would be quartered upou the country as its wards.
We do not suppose he would take more pleasure in the company of the shoddy aristocracy, grown rich by robbery, than in the society of the honest and reputable people of the land.
We do not suppose he would look upon the Presidency as a reward of merit to be used according to his personal convenience.
We do not suppose the secrets of grand jury rooms would leak from perjured lips into prurient presidential ears.
We do not suppose his private secretary would be indicted for complicity in a gigantic conspiracy for defrauding the revenue.
We do not suppose a session of Congress would be taken up in investigating and inspecting his Cabinet officers.
We do not suppose that every thief in the land would plead in justification of his crime the example of the President.
We do not suppose that at mention of his name every honest cheek would burn with shame.

Quarter-master General Meigs. It is barely possible that about as economicaLa measure as could have been adopted by the War Department -was keeping that eminent patriot' trave)^ ing in foreign lauds at the public expense. Next to besprikling him plentifully with a first class quality of moth extinguisher, keeping him out of the country was the best thing to do in his case.
Our county officers spend ten dollars of our money to every nickel of it spent by the National Government. Let us keep our reason and use our discretion, where our treasures.
It* their individual capacit the people are economizing. It is time theirservants, the office holders were doing the same thing.
If anybody thinks the rate of interest on money is too high our ad vice to him is to go to lending his money.

And so Don Pirate was interested in killing Moths. We had thought him a man of peace.
And so Meigs was the Moth that eat the malt tliat lay in the house that Graut bossed.

W1IATjjMEIOS SAYS.
Wtshingtou, /prii 7.—Quartermaster General Meigs testified that the statements'of D. Websier this morning, to ihe effect that he sought an interest in his moth exterminator by suggesting any kind that could be tortured into such a suspicion were absolutely false. He said lie had never tolll Webster that the government was swindled out of luryw sums because the process then in use v/as useless, aud that he had never abked him what benefit the contract, would be to him that he never aiked him how much he would give him (the witness.) He had always considered Webster, like many inventors, crazy on the subject of his preparation for exterminating moths. He had considered him honest, but rather light in the head never inquired into his character. Witness corroborated generally the other statements of Webster from the record, but pronounced his charges false in every respect and the creation of a very active and imaginative brain. Witness was asked whether he was the means of the adoption of George W. Cowlea & Co.'s process for exterminating moths, lie replied ihat he had opposed it even alter the board of army officers had recommended its adoption, but finally yielded to the accumulation of testimonials in its favor. When asked by whuse influence it had been kept in use, he replied that ,„G. W. 3}rega apd Donu Piatt were very active in the matter. Witness said mat Cowlea' process is not now in use.

KOBESON.
Secretary Robeson has formally replied to certain interrogatories of Representative Beebe, chairman of the committee on expenditures in the navy department. He eays that no time bills, drafts, checks, notes or acceptances have bgeu issued, made, or given by or under the navy de-* partment or any of its bureaus or officers, except such draft as has been given from time to time, drawn by paymasters of the navy on foreign sta* tions on order, to supply themselves with funds for the purpose of paying the expenses of the naval service abroad. No time bills, drafts,checks, etc., have to the knowledge of the department, been given in anticipation of, or in advance of appropriations available to meet the same, though it i3. possible that near the end or a fiscal year necessary and extraordinary expenses might be incurred at distant stations of which the department might not be informed, and for which sufficient means might not, therefore, be reserved. No drafts have been drawn upon any officers of the navy department, other than the secretary of the navy, since December 1, 1874, except upon the department's fiscal agents in London, in accordance with an agreement with them. No commission have been allowed or id on the drafts, made by the paymaster, Gen. Bradford, residing in London, or other officers, upon t.he secretary of tho treasury. But drafts drawn by the paymasters, on foreign station or on fiscal agents in London are liable,under the agreement with them, to a commission' cf not exceeding 1 per centum, which is allowed and credited in the settle* ment of their accounts in the treasury, according to the contract with Seligman Bros., which is appended to the secretary's letter. It also appears that they allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum for all moneys and balances of the depart ment, so long as the same shall remain in their hands, aud the department agrees to allow interest at the rate of 5 percent, on all jiciconnts for which the firm are at any time in advance to the department by reasou of the payment of its bills and drafts so long, and to the extent that they shall remain so in advance.

PENTECOST
What was it, and when was il? Tbe Jewisn nation observed three great national feasts: The Passover was associated with an event in nature, an incident in history, and a promise of prophecy. In history it was associated with the deliverance from the bondage of Egypt and the blood-stained lintels and the sparing of tha firstborn. In prophecy it took hold-upon ihe expiator sacrifice of a coming Messiah.
Next to the PaSsover feast in yearly order came Pentecost. Tbe Passover occurred on .. the 14th of the Hebrew month Nisan (March or April) countiug fifty days rorward wefind the date for Pentc cost Then the harvest was ovar. Then grain was gathered. Hence Pentecost is called the feast of harvest in the Old Testament, and the "day of first fruits" in the New Testament. The principal ceremony consisted in offering two loaves with a lamb for a peace offering.
As the Passover and Trumpets have each a natural, historic and prophetic implication, it is at first singular to find that Pentecost only connects itself with a natural event (thecloseof harvest), and not with any historica incident. More critical scholars insjst that is not thus different from its fellow faasts and
terenc trom its renow iaasis auu torrgue from the Talmud they show that
Pantecost falls on the same day of year as that on which Moses received the law from Sinai, Thus we may make a little table, which shows these Jewish feasts to be "not merely arbitrary institutions, but connected with important events and penetrating all history." Each has a natural, an historic and a spiritual signification or association:
fassovcr. -j —historical incident. The blood olthe latnb—sal[vation, or spiritual import.
The end of harvest—natural event. The giving of the law-
Pentecost historical incident. Tha descent of the Spirit—
1
^salvation, spiritual import.
PENTECOST AND THE SPIRIT'S OUTPOURING CAitfE TOGETHEIt. 1. This seoured a crowd. The crucifizien of Christ occured at the time of Passover, Then Jerusalem was jammed and ovefiowing with strangers. The story of the fall of the great reformer—as they thought impostor, but us we know Redeemer was commuicated by the dispersing crowd to the outskirt of civilization. They had come there from all quarters. They were curious eager, gossiping, greedy to get news, and impatient to spread tidings, They nad a fine story to take home with them. The Nazarene was no more.,MlThe big pretense had been punctured and had collapsed." Fifty days and the crowd is back again to observe another feast. Pentecost occured at a. time when, the work of harvest being over the crowd would.be its largest. They were there from evry nation under heaven. (Varse 5.)

The crowd were in a state of mind to receive a blessing such as cam e.
We showed how Pentecost is associated in history with the given of the law of Moses, The period just preceding the giving of the law was one of darkness and depression and dismay. They dwelt at the base of about a year. After the lav/ the nation rose up and went forward. Perhaps it was iu commemoration cf this that the Jews, up to the lime of Christ, regarded the fifty days between the Passover and Pentecost as days of evil omen. Tbey had a dread of sudden death during those fifty days. They anticipated the prevalence and power of evil spirits. They avoided riding, would not go on the water "would not whistle in the evening lest it should bring ill luck." They scrupulously avoided marriage till Pentecost "they grew gladsome. Danger was over. Tomorrow would commemorate the giving of tho law. So they adorned their houses with flowers, wore wreaths of flowers, and fed on milkmade diet, indicative ofthepuritv of the law.
"And there appeared." (Verse 3.) These words being in ".he passive voice would be better understood by us if read "there were sen by them cloven tongues," etc. Spn after the alarming sound, as of wild, came the lambent sign, luminous as flame,, "like as of fire as if the had been made of fire. This comparative form of speech is quite commo: to Luke, he used it iu the second^erse and now in the third. He al» uses it in his gospel. He does nos say it was wind, but "as if it werewind. He does not say they wentojigues of fire, but as if made of firi And yet all eminent authorities uree that they may have been botf'eaJ wind and real fire. 1 2. Upon whom did thejfalJ? By common consent, they defnded upon all. This appears frond two considerations. It is not sakbe twelve alone were touched. Fra therec* ord we think they may ave been about 150 in the upper pm at the time, and it says all receild the divine touch. The word"cloven" means something disttjeii. All the company were eniiaed with the heavenly efilatus*. 3. For what purposerere these tongues given Not n*eiy to facilitate the work of gprdhlng, because the very general kwledge of the Greek language thrpliout the Roman Empire at thame made such a provision unnesary. It was, doubtles?, to induce the Divine Spirit's dipensoa with an overpowering mile. Man cannot believe in a relih beiug divine unless it is attesteay miracles.

Such was the state of the mind of thepeop!e, just coming oat, of the fifty days of dark dread, upon which
THE HOLY GHOST CAME DOWN.
1. The forerunner was a furious wind. "Mighty wind" means violent wind. (Lesson, verse 3) It came from heaven that is it was not an ordinary sound. It was something awful, appalling, august, heavenly, "from heaven." This of itself finishes the argument cf thote whosavit was only a grear storm. Many passages might be assigned to show that a miraculous noise is always meant by such word3 as these in the original. "It filled the house." The grammatical agreement makes it clear that it was the^noise and not the wind that filled tbe house. It was not a notion of some nervous apostle who trembled at the falling of a foot. The noise startled every ear, all the house.
