Tlie recent delays in tlie transmission
of the mails from Ualveston to the in-
terior have provoked from a subscriber
the plaintive remark: " To miss a single
venomous meal of yours on poor Coke
grieves us sorely." It grieves us sorely
to be misunderstood with regard to the
temper and purpose of our occasional
strictures on the public policy of the
present Governor of Texas. Of all ep-
ithets which misapprehension or per-
versity might apply to these strictures
"venomous " is about the most inappro-
priate. An impartial review of the
course of the Nmvs during the past
three years will show that we have
sought with unwearied assiduity, in the
distinguishing traits of Gov. Coke's
administration, for grounds of praise
nnd public congratulation. It is not
the fault of the News, but the common
misfortune of Texas, if a melancholy
experience has had to record a plenti-
ful lack of such occasions. The News
has never failed to support the Gov-
ernor in every position that .seemed to
be sound, and in every measure that
seemed to be salutary, and with unre-
mitting solicitude for his executive
success and for the public welfare
It has always been prompt to expose
his fallacies and to warn him of the
pernicious consequences if he did not
abandon liia mistaken courses. The
News has also ever been glad to notice
the strong points and admirable accom-
plishments of his Excellency. As a
lawyer, grounded in Magna Cliarta, he
has arrived at a proficiency that would
have amazed the ancestral " Coke-upon-
Lyttleton." As an orator, his peculiar
graces of manner would have
astounded Demosthenes and driven
Cicero to madness. As a writer,
in able prolixity he may even
defy comparison with Iteavis, the
interminable historian and prophet of
the future great city of the continent.
As a reasoner and controversialist, he
would bw invincible if his piissions were
principles and his prejudices facts. As
a financier, he might have been a splen-
did success had he united with zeal and
presumption some knowledge of the
elementaiy part of financial econ-
omy, one of the first maxims of
which wau lately repeated by
Mr. Tilden in the homely in-
junction, " live within your income."
As a statesman, there has been nothing
to necessitate his failure but his habit
of shutting his eyes to the realities and
imperious exigencies of the situation
and addressing his policy to imaginary
conditions. But enough. Now, as
heretofore, the News is kind and con-
siderate in its judgment of Gov. Coke.
He has merits, beyond question. We
presume that he is a faithful friend.
We know that lie is a good hater. In
Hhort, we take it that a just historian
may sum up the review of his career as
Governor with some modification of
Byron's lines on the reign of Georne III:
*-A better farmer ne'«r brushed dew from
tarn.
a worse kin# never left a realm undone."
Tbe Last Election Law.
The act approved August 28, 1876,
regulating elections, is, by its own
terms, in force from and after its pas-
sage, but has not yet been regularly
published. Some cf its provisions, not
already given in the News, may not be
generally known, though an attempt
has been made to supply the officers of
election with copies of the law. Among
its provisions is the old one allowing
the people to select officers to preside
at the polls in case those who have
been appointed by the County Judge
fail to act; the judges are to be divided
between the two political parties, and
are sworn by the presiding officer. " All
electors shall vote ia the election pre-
cinct of their residence." "The resi-
dence of a married nan, if not separa-
ted from his wife, shall be where his
family resides, and that of a single man
where he boards and sleeps, and should
any single man board in one ward or
precinct and sleep in another, then liis
residence shall be in the ward or pre-
cinct where he sleeps, and he shall not
vote in any other precinct or ward," un-
der a penalty of fine and imprisonment.
Any person who shall vote, or attempt
to vote, more than once is
liable to imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary from two to five years.
The laws of the United States pre-
scribe a long list of regulations, under
pains and penalties, in regard to elec-
tions for President and Congress, such
as debarring freedmen from the right
to vote, intimidation, conspiracy, dis-
guise to intimidate, appointing U. 8.
commissioners of election, duties of
marshals and their deputies at elec-
tions, authorizing commissioners to ap-
point persons to execute process, pen-
alties for obstructing the same, autho-
rizing the employment of land and
naval forces, penalties for unlawful
voting, penalties on officers of election
for neglect of duty, directing U. S.
supervisors of elections to occupy the
best position for scrutinizing election,
penalties for interfering with election
officers, etc., etc.
Here is a little extract from the laws
of Texas, which may be of interest to
some sanguine politicians, whose argu-
ment is a wager: "If any person shall,
whether before or after the happening
of any public election, held within this
State, wager or bet in any manner
whatever upon the result of any such
election, he shall be fined not less than
twenty five nor more than one thou-
sand dollars." A number of penalties
have recently been recovered for viola-
tions of this law in other counties.
THE NEWS FROM AUSTIN.
The ITIiiiiK'Ipal Enigma.
People who think State and munici-
pal governments should be under the
entire control ot Congress, like the
Territories and the District of Colum-
bia, should make themselves acquaint-
ed with the manner in which the affairs
of the District of Columbia have been
managed since the war. The amouat
of money squandered at the expense of
the general government has been fabu-
lous, while in many cases the property
of the citizens has actually been con-
fiscated and sold to pay taxes and as-
sessments, leaving the owners still in ar-
rears on account of the burdens im-
posed upon them. A Congressional
committee is now engaged in devising
" a new form of government for the
District of Columbia," but between the
rings which infest the city of Washing-
ton and gobble up everything in the
way of government patronage, and the
swarms of negroes and others who
have crowded there without anything
to be taxed, and who vote mainly with
a view to securing some immediate per-
sonal advantage, the committee is em-
barrassed in saying whether the power
should all emanate from the general
government or be mainly given to the
people. The constitution gives Con-
gress the control of the government
of the District, but does not pre-
scribe the manner in which it shall
Vie exercised. The experiment of an
elective territorial government has lieen
tried, and proved disastrous to the pro-
perty owners and good order of the
district. Qualified suffrage is now ad-
vocated by many, confining the vote to
people of intelligence who have an ac-
tual stake in the district, and proposing*
mixed government for it, which shall
be partly olectivc and partly non-elect
ive, partly of executive appointment
and partly of popular choice. liut
whether this would be an improvement
depends a good deal upon the details,
and the character of those intrusted
with carrying them out. As a North-
ern contemporary remarks, "thefunc
tions of municipal government arc less
political in their character than admin
istrative; that is to say, they cull for
very much the same business qualities
as are needed in the administration of
any large private corporation, a univer
sity, u railroad, or any great corporate
enterprise. To secure these qualities
in administration ought to be the prime
object in view, whether in devising a
new form of municipal government, as
is proposed to be done for the District
of Columbia, or in keeping such a gov
eminent in healthful operation, like
any of the cities of the country."
Inquiry relative to recent irregu-
larities of the mails by which the puc-
lic lias suffered serious inconvenience,
lias been made and develops the fact that
the trouble is due mainly to irregulari-
ties in the connections of trains on the
railroads. The successive failures on
the western branch of the Texas Cen-
tral last week were caused by successive
mis-connections at Houston. The
statement is made in justice to post-
masters and postoffice employes, who
usually bear the blame, and who, in
the cases now in mind, have not bee*
at fault. Headers of the News who
have been disappointed in getting their
paper on time, as well as the traveling
public, which has suffered some delays,
can rest assured, it is presumed, that
the delays will be of less frequent oc-
currence, if not avoided, in futuie, as
the attention of the railroad authorities
concerned has been respectfully drawn
to the facts with a request for such re-
dress as they may be able to afford.
ItllEMIAM.
A TreiueiidoiiN Radical Pow.Wow-
Tracy In lil. Element Xrglas
Jonek'a Claim*.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News.}
Breniiam, Nov. 4, 1876.
A Radical mass meeting was held
here to-day and 3000 persons are estima-
ted to have been present. The princi-
pal speech was made by Col. James G.
Tracy, Hadical organizer of the cam-
paign, which put Gov. Davis in office.
He took bold ground in favor of Jones
for Congress, and declared that the sen-
timents about running Davis at the
last moment were pure inventions of
Giddings and friends to deter Demo-
crats from voting for Jones. He
charged that Giddings had procured
tickets printed, with the name of
Davis for Congress, in order to deceive.
Tracy went for Giddings as a re-
former, and said any man with $31,-
000 in his pocket, not properly earned,
could afford to be a reformer. Tracy
was very careful to say nothing of
thieves in his own tottering party.
Wash Jones will close the campaign
here on Monday next. The Radicals
are jubilant and brag that they will
carry the county by a heavy majority.
The Democrats are equally confident of
reducing former Radical majorities
given in this county. Every voter will
be out on Tuesday next, and a very
heavy vote may be expected.

Austin, Nov. 4, 1876.
Street bets have been made on Gid-
dings and Jones, with odds in favor of
Giddings. The sale of pools on the
presidential and Congressional elections
will take place Monday evening.
Hayes's backers here in some instances
show a disposition to hedge. Wash
Jones's most ardent supporters, of
course, keep trying to make a showing,
but the prospect of striped-backed
tickets on Tuesday morning, with a
straight out Radical on them, weakens
his chances with his Democraiic friends.
The dodge won't win. Let the lower
counties do their duty, and the upper
belt will roll up majorities enough to
send Giddings to Congress.
There is nothing new from the fron-
tier. A slow and steady rain has been
falling here all day with wind N. N. E.

Connor is an old Texan. Defendant is
a daughter of B. P. Carter, first captain
of the company from here in Hood's
Texas Brigade. About #20,000 in city
lots is involved.

Joint Dlscutmlon Between Reagan
and Cooper.

Lovelady, Nov. 4, 1876.
A large and enthusiastic crowd as-
sembled here to-day to listen to a joint
discussion between John H. Reagan
and Judge F. W. Cooper, candidates
for Congress from the First Congres-
sional District, respectively of the Dem-
ocratic and Republican parties. The
able and eloquent effort of Mr. Reagan
in the interest of the Democracy and
honest government presented a marked
contrast to the harangue of his oppo-
nent, whose only argument was the
'bloody shirt." Everything passed
off in a quiet and orderly manner, and
all the respectable portion of the assem-
blage returned home more determined
than ever on Tuesday next to reli up
an immense majority for Reagan, Til-
den and Reform.
A private letter from a prominent
Democrat in Wisconsin contains the as-
sertion that the State will go for Tilden
almost to a certainty. Democrats there
are confident of his election.
Wasiunoton, Nov. 4.—W. O'Neil

The Navy Department has no news

opinion that sheencoutered the cyclone
and, being one of the oldest vessels in
the Navy and not very seaworthy, there
is no telling how long her arrival may
be delayed.
The State Department contradicts a
report that it has a statement or confes-
sion made by Tweed.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 26,1876.
By they President of the United States:
a proclamation.
From year to year we have been ac-
customed to pause in our pursuits and
set apart a time to offer our thanks to
Almighty God for the special blessings
He has vouchsafed to us, with our
prayers for a continuance thereof. We
have at this time equal reassn to be
thankful for His continued protection
and for the many material blessings
His bounty has bestowed. In addition
to these favors accorded to us as indi-
viduals, we have especial occasion to
express our hearty thanks to Almighty
God that by His providence and guid-
ance our government, established a cen-
tury ago, has been enabled to fulfill the
purpose of its founders in offering an
asylum to the people of every race, se-
curing civil and religious liberty to all
within its borders, and meting out to
every individual alike justice and
equality before the law. It is, more
over, especially our duty to offer our
humble prayers to the Father of all
mercies for a continuance of Ilis divine
favor to us as a nation and as individ-
uals.
By reason of all these considerations,
I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States, do recommend to the
people of the United States to devote
the 30th day of November next to the
expression of their thanks and prayers
to Almighty God, and laying aside
their daily avocations and all secular
occupations, to assemble in their re-
spective places of worship, and observe
such day as a day of thanksgiving and
rest. , ,
In witness whereof I have nereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
20th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1876 and of the independence of
the United States of America the 101st.

VICTORIA.
Last Day of tlie Gnlf Fair—Pre-

able Exhibition.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News. ]
Victoria, Nov. 4, 1876.
This was the last day of the Fair; a
light rain fell in the morning. It was
then cloudy until 1 p. m., when a heavy
rain set in, driving every one to hunt
for shelter. This has been the busiest
day of the Fair, and there was a large
number of awards made. Only a few
of the premiums could be come at, as
the secretaries had not the time to copy
them off.
There has been quite an interest
manifested in the Fair to-day and yrster-
day, as there was a large number of
ladies and gentlemen in attendance
from the adjoining counties, and all
expressed themselves well pleased with
the display that was made. L. J.
Bartlett and J. Levy, of Galveston,
gave splendid exhibitions with horses;
took every race they run, something
unusual heretofore, and they were
highly appreciated.
The exhibition of horses and cattle in
the arena attracted much attention.

during the week.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Tlie San Antonio Herald learns, as
coming from the highest official source,
that it is the intention of the Interna-
tional Railroad Company to push their
road to that city in the shortest possi-
ble time.
The Railroad Conductors' Insurance
Convention at Detroit selected Atlanta
as the place of the next meeting, and
elacted the following officers: Presi-
dent, M. 1?. Waters, of tlie Hudson
River road; Vice Presidents, M. Spain
Jay, Harry M. Mounts; Secretary and
Treasurer, J. F. Culbertson, of Colum-
bus; Executive Committee, J. W.
K. J. Snively, and O. N. Merrill.
The daily average number of passen-
gers carried last week by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to the Cen-
tenniul Exhibition was over 35,000.
The people of Panola county already
have $30,000 subscribed in money and
lands, which they will make perfectly
safe and turn over to any railway com-
pany that will build a railroad through
Panola county, provided it passes
through Carthage, the county seat.
The New York Bulletin in noticing
the preliminary meetings of the repre-
sentatives of truck and other railroads,
which were begun in the West, and are
now being continued in New York,
says: " A general advance in rates has
been expected for several weeks, and,
without doubt, it is for the interest alike
of stockholders and shippers that rates
be made which will be sufficiently pro-
fitable to the railroads to ensure their
permanence. The pressure of business
has long warranted higher rates than
have ruled."
The Pottsville Miners' Journal says
that a contractor on the South Moun-
tain Railroad, in Lebanon county, Pa.,
where " Pennsylvania Dutch" do
abound, had some men working for
him in the rural districts. At the end
of each month he usually paid the
board bills and deducted it from their
wages. Some time ago he received the
following bill and letter from a man
who had been furnishing the staff of
life to one of his workmen:

Letter From Netv York.
Special Correspondence of the News.l
New York, Oct. 28, 1870.
The registration in the city was fin-
ished to-night. I have not the official
figures, but it exceeds.by fully 35,000
any previous registration. Both parties
have made a tremendous effort to get
their last man out, but it is conceded on
all hands that fully two-thirds of the in-
crease are Democrats. It is my opinion
that two-thirds won't quite cover the
Democratic increase. The meaning of
this " excessive registration," as the lie-
publicans call it, is that Tilden is going
to get a regular
old fashioned democratic majority
in New York city. Seymour crossed
the Spuyten Tuyvel in 1808, going
north, with about 05,000 majority.
Tilden will cross that creek with not
less than 85,000. Seymour was beaten
in the west of the State by about 55,000
majority, and yet carried it by exactly
10,000. Seymour had the October elec-
tions all against him, while Tilden has
them all for him. It is the opinion of
the best informed Democrats Lore that
Tilden's majority below Spuyten Tuy-
vel will not be reduced more than 10,-
000, and that would give him the State
by 75,000. Tilden has said from the
beginning of the canvass that his ma-
jority will not be less than 70,000, and
lie is a man who rarely makes mistakes.
I think you can bank upon the State as
sure for Uncle Sam. He commands the
unlimited confidence of all classes, par-
ticularly the great business men and
capitalists, and will carry far more than
the Democratic strength of New York.
Never has a man been more bitterly
assailed than Tilden, an.l never lias one
been so much
helped by nis enemies
as Tilden has been in New York where
they all know him. The Times has
charged him with almost every crime
in the catalogue, and the effect of this
has been to disgust the people and help
Tilden. The Times, though run so
vigorously as now, has hurt itself badly
by this abuse. Brintano, the great
newspaper dealer, says its circulation
has fallen off greatly in New York. It
undertook to rcduce its printers' wages
the other day, which resulted in a gene-
ral strike among its hands. So much
for abusing Uncle Sam| on his native
heath. The Times evidently feels that
it has made a terrible mistake, but it is
all too late to mend it.
Tilden's enemies have also greatly
helped him in this city by the everlast-
ing use they have made of
the bloody siiirt
throughout the North. Blaine's bloody
shirt speech in the Cooper Institute
gave Tilden a big lift. It was nothing
but bloody shirt. I never saw a speech
fall so dead upon an audience, and
when he spoke of seventy Southern
members of Congress as "seventy South-
ern scamps," a large portion of the
crowd responded with hearty groans.
These New Yorkers are the most in-
dividualized and intense Americans I
ever saw. They do not feel themselves
citizens of New York only, but citizens
of the whole great country. Sectional-
ism is a dead rot in this city. They
esteem the South Carolinian and the
Texan as much as they do the Maine
man or the Vermonter. They are all
American to them. They hate tie
bloody shirt with a hatred and disgust
unspeakable. I would as soon enter an
open field filled with Spanish bulls and
shake a red blanket at them as under-
take to walk up Broadway shaking the
bloody shirt. I would expect to be
mobbed by at least 10,000 men every
fifteen minutes. The conduct of the
Republicans in this campaign has only
filled tlie minds of these men with in-
tense disgust, and heated them to red-
hot heat. Perhaps the bloody shirt was
the best thing the Republicans had to
tie to, but certainly it has been a terri-
ble thing to them in New York—driv-
ing thousands of their rank and file
over to Tilden. I wish some of our
confederate bloody-siiirt shakers
in Texas would have heard, as I have
heard, some of these New Y'ork Demo-
crats defending our people from the
falsehoods told upon them by the Re-
publicans, it would "make them hang
their heads in shame. I heard Gen.
Francis Spinola, who commanded a
Federal brigade in Virginia, say on the
stump: "You may call these Southern
men traitors, rebels and assassins, but
there is one thing that you can not for-
get—they are flesh of your llesh, bone
of your bone; they are Americans the
same as you. They are the heirs of the
founders of this country, who have
given to America's fame its bright-
est names in statesmanship and
war." This sentiment was heartily
cheered by an audience of Northern
Democrats. Let the little fellows who
hounded John Hancock out of Con-
gress by pursuing him with the Confed-
erate bloody shirt, read this and blush,
I heard Col. Dugan, another Federal
soldier, while addressing 10,000 North-
ern Democrats, say: " Born within
the sound of the bell of Trinity Church,
and living all my life in New Y'ork, I
am a Northerner. But when the Presi
dent of the United States sends soldiers
into South Carolina to keep that peo-
ple under a barbarous and corrupt State
government, 1 am a Southerner." This
was received by sucli a storm of ap-
plause that the speaker was interrupted
for several minutes.
You see, Messrs. Editors, I have got
to be a furious Democrat up here. But, I
tell you, I found it to be a mighty up-hill
business to be a Democrat in Texas. I
feel proud that I voted a straight Re-
publican ticket in our last State elec-
tion. I did so because I thought the
Republicans were better Democrats
than the Democrats themselves. If the
Democrats could manage to swap off
about 10,000 of their leaders down
there, for 10,000 good Republicans, I
think it would be an excellent exchange.
I have less patience with these bloody
shirt doings, whether Northern or
Southern, than even these New York-
ers. It would be a good thing if the
whole race of them would be converted
into genuine four-legged jackasses, as
they are already jackasses on two legs.
the final result.
At Democratic headquarters here they
calculate with certainty upon 130
Southern electoral votes. This leaves
out South Carolina, which they class
as doubtful. They also claim as certain
for Tilden, New York, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Indiana, Wisconsin, Cali-
fornia and Oregon. This elects Tilden,
with 30 to spare. It would not sur-
prise me if Tilden does much better
than this. It rather looks to me that
the country is on the eve of one of
those great revolutions in politics
which occur now and then.

THE EASTERN OUESTION.
London, Nov. 4.—Montenegro ac-
cepts the armistice on tlie same terms
as Servia. It is stated that the Austrian
ambassador at St. Petersburg has been
ordered to go to Lividia, and it is ru-
mored that the Turkish Grand Vizier
will go there also on a confidential mis-
sion.
A dispatch from Belgrade to the Times
confirms the statement that the armis-
tice as accepted by the Porte is uncon-
ditional.
Tlie official announcement is that the
armistice is for two months from No-
vember 1st, hostilities to cease imme-
diately, both armies retaining the posi-
tions occupied upon receiving notice.
It is understood that there are no other
conditions attached, and that Montene-
gro has also accepted the armistice.
Constantinople, Nov. 4.—The for-
eign ambassadors met at the residence
of Sir Henry Elliott, British Ambassa-
dor, yesterday, to settle upon a method
of determining a demarcation line be-
tween the belligerent armies.
New York, Nov. 4.—A Herald Lon-
don special says a rumor prevails that
Russia will demand withdrawal of
Turkish troops from Servia, which Tur-
key can not assent to, and thus a con-
flict will ensue.
London, Nov. 4.—There has been
much fluctuation in the Stock Exchange
during the week, which, in the early
part, was of an unfavorable tendency,
in consequence of Eastern affairs. The
conclusion of an armistice produced
great improvement. An important ad-
vance in prices occurred, and the ma-
jority of stocks attained their best point
for some weeks. The continental
bourses during the last three days have
also been very buoyant.
New Y'ork, Nov. 4.—Aritisie Bey,
Turkish Minister at Washington, has
received from Constantinople the fol-
lowing information: Tlie extraordinary
commission sent to Bulgaria by the
Sublime Porte was intruded to ascer-
tain the truth relating to facts, which
had been reported, and punish the au-
thors thereof in an exemplary maner
and give full satisfaction due to suffer-
ers. Moreover, the Imperial govern-
ment has lately placed at the disposal
of the commission the sum of £18,000,
nearly $100,000, as the first installment
to relieve the most pressing wants of
the sufferers of the iusurrection. Meas-
ures have also been taken for rebuild-
ing, as promptly as possible, the burned
villages, independently of aid of every
kind, which the government has given
for that purpose. Timber and other
materials have been furnished by both
Christian and Mussulman residents in
the vicinity.
Fastest Ocean Voyage on Record.
New Y'ork, Nov. 4.—The White Star
steamer Brittanic anchored on the bar
at 1 a. m. to-day, after having completed
the fastest passage on record—seven
days, thirteen hours and eleven min-
utes—from Qucenstown to New York.
ITIonlton vs. Beecher.
New York, Nov. 4.—Judge Lari-
more, sitting in Supreme Court Cham-
bers, has granted an order extending
the time of Henry Ward Beecher to
answer the amended complaint of Fran-
cis D. Moulton twenty days.
Fatal Fight In a Saloon.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 4.—George
Stakert, in a fight this morning in a
saloon, killed one and fatally wounded
another. Several others hurt. He
claims that he acted in self-defense.
The Centennial.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—Fifty cent
admissions to the Centennial Exhibi-
tion continue till November 18.
PERSONAL.
A man must be pretty drunk to go
along the streets holding fast to his
coat collar with both hands to prevent
falling down.
Mr. Lucifer was among the guests at
a recent social gathering in Boston.
The young ladies seemed to think he
was an eligible match.
A white boy met a colored lad the
other day and asked him what he had
such a short nose for. " I 'sDect so it
won't poke itself into other people's
business."
Scene in a New Y'ork police court—
Judge—" Prisoner, I find you guilty of
intoxication in the public streets. The
punishment is ten dollars or ten days;
which will you take?" Prisoner— I
will take the ten dollars, your Honor."
These Mennonite emigrants are
quietly working an immense develop-
ment in our Western wilds. One of
them anvertises in a Kansas paper for
25,000 continuous acres of uncultivated
territory, with a view to purchase.
A man who for the last six months
has been daily drinking a quart or two
of the "Universal Blood Purifier,"
still thanks bis Maker that it doesn't re-
quire the prophetic genius of Leverrier
to tell where the next boil is going to
break out.
A porcupine was in a slatted box in
a Sacramento railroad depot. An un-
suspecting man sat on the box.
Another man stirred up the porcupine.
Then the first man suddeniy arose, and
acted like a man who had been punc-
tured by~a hundred hot pins.
A Chinaman, arrested in San Francis-
co the other day, was found to have on
a coat of mail made of cloth, cotton
batting and paper, thick enough to
turn a knife or a bullet. It also had
pockets for knives and hatchets, and
rings to hang an iron bar on. John
has more true inwarni-ess than he gets
Jredit for.
A prayer meeting is held in connec-
tion with the Vermont Legislature
every morning, and the members attend
in large numbers, and show great de-
voutness. The Montpelier Journal
says: "Among those attending and
deeply interested in the meeting are
some who have never attended prayer
meetings at their homes. The singing
is inspiring, the spirit of the meeting is
excellent, the prayers are fervent, and
the addresses are convincing and some-
times truly touching."
At a recent scrvice in St. George's
Church, Portsea, England, Archdeacon
Wright, who was to preach the annual
sermon, promised the rector, the Rev.
B. Curtis, that he would wear a black
gown, but forgetting his promise, as-
cended the pulpit in his surplice, where-
upon the Rev. Mr. Curtis left the
church in a towering rage. At a public
dinner in the evening the Archdeacon
remarked that he would willingly
preach in his shirt sleeves if he supposed
it would do good to his hearers.
Last Sunday evening, at the conclu
sion of Dr. Guard's lecture, Mr. Twiggs,
a pretentious rather than a profound
father, sought him and said: "Doctor,
why don't you talk louder? I sat near
the door of the church, and could
scarcely hear a word you said. Didn't
you see me?" " Yres, sir, I did." "Well,
didn't you observe the way I held my
hands up to catch the sound?" " Your
hands, Mr. Twiggs, why, I thought
those were yapr cars!"
blaine's war record.
I saved the nation from the South,'1
Quoth war-scarred Jimmy Blaine.
" My weapen was my naked mouth.
My battle-field in Maine.
■' And at the sound of Sumter's gun
I scorned to stop at trifles.
But bravely marched to Washington
And jobbed in Spencer rifles.
tl When Lincoln loudly called for men
For rebel guns to shoot.
'Twas I bled more than all the rest—
To pay my substitute.
"I've never blanched with fear or fled
The tongue of mortal man;
I've never bent the servile knee.
Save once—to Mulligan."

Oil, feel fully satisfied that it is a production
of great care, and that it can be used with
absolute safety in any Kerosene or Coal Oil

mending Insurance Oil to all who desire a safe
artificial light.
We would, however, caution consumers to
look well to the " Trade Mark" and see that
they get the genuine article, believing that if
they do, it will be the means of greatly de-
creasing the number of Lamp fires, and the
saving of many lives from Kerosene or Coal
