corded were a thousand names re¬
of persons who had no residence here,
and if there were a thousand attempted
fraudulent votes in the best city on the con¬
tinent, what may we expect in cities not so
fortunate? What a grand thing is the law of
registration! Without it elections in thus
country would be a farce There must be a
scrutiny keenest on this subject. The law must have
twist for the neck of repeaters. Some¬
thing more than slight fine and short im¬

to put in a spurious vote. In olden times
when men laid unholy hands on the ark of

bribe often and often in these great cities I
do not say it is in our city, but vou know
again have been and the again throughout the land these
forms of bribe offered. So it
is often the case that bv the time a man cornea

the ballot box does not give any choice to
a man when the nominations are made in the
back part «f a cro-gcry. When the elector
coti.es up he has to choose between two evils.

the square foot. Property
qualification will not do. The oniy way
these evils will be eradicated will* be by
more thorough legal defense of the ballot
box and a more thorough moralizntion
and Christianization of the people. That
ark of the covenant was carried
day into the captivity people hooked to Kirjath-jearim, but one
oxen to a cart, and
they put this ark on the cart, nnd the
cart was taken to Jerusalem—the erk of
the covenant coming with the shouting and
thanksgiving of the people. And though
the American ballot box, the ark of the
American covenant, our sacred chest, has
be-m carried again and again into captivity
by fraud and iniquity and spurious voting. I
believe it will be brought back yet by prayer
and by Christian consecration, and will be
set down in the midst of the temple of
Christian patriotism. Whose responsibility?
Yours and mine.
You have not only a vote, you have a
prayer. The prayer may bo mightier than
the vote. Oh, as citizen's of this beautiful
city, and of this State, and of this nation, let
us do our whole duty. We cannot live under
any other form of government than that
which God has given us in this countrv. The
stars on otir flag are not the stars of a tliick
etu.ng nuht, but the stars sprinkled amid the
bars of morning cloud. We are goiug to
Lave one government on this entire conti¬
nent. Let the despotisms of Asia keep
their feet ofi' the Pacific coast and let the
tyrannies of Europe keep their feet off
the Atlantic coast. We are going to have
0110 government. Mexico will follow Texas
into the l uion. and Christianity aud civili¬
zation will stand side by side in the halls of
the Montezuruas. And if not in our day,
then in the day of our children, Yuca¬
tan ai.-d Central America will come in do¬
minion, while on the north Canada will be
ours, not by conquest—oh, no, American and
English swords may never clash blades—but
w-e w ill woo our fair neighbor of the North,
and then England will say to Canada: “Yon
are old enough for the marriage day,” and
tuen, turning, will say: “Giant of the West,
go take your bribe.” And then from Baffin’s
Bay to tna Carribean there will be one gov¬
ernment under one flag, with one destiny—a
free, undisputed, Christianized American
continent, God save the city of Brooklyn!
God save the commonwealth of Naw York!
God save t he Union!

After the downfall of Napoleon in
1815, the French Government became
liable for the amount of 750 million
francs which was to be naid P over tn
Allies within three years, to reimburse
them for the expense of the campaign.
The payments were to be made in 181ii in
gold, but as the French were unable to
raise the amount in gold, the Allies had
to be satisfied with silver in payment of
the other installment.

instead of turning to the right or to the
left, you continue your way along the
passage to the end, you arrive at the
kitchen, which usually is iu a separate
building. Its floor is of earth. In a
fire-place flickers an uncertain fire of
peat, and over it hangs an iron pot from
a begrimed, crane. Everything is dark and smoke
for much of the smoke does
no t i escape the through the Open chimnev,
an( only light is from the fire. Per
haps an old woman with her black gar
ments and her tasseled hufa bends over
the kettle and st'n its contents. The

Small as is the kitchen fire, it is often
the only one in the house, for fuel in
some parts of the island is exceediugly
scarce, and must be U3ed with the
strictest economy for cooking purposes
alone. It is customary to close the
houses when the cold winter weather
comes on, for then the atmospbhere be¬
comes at least warmer than the outside
air, if not quite so well adapted for
breathing purposes. The houses of the
clergy are often better than those de
scribed in that they have more rooms
or better accommodations; sometimes,
however, they are worse, or the guest
chamber already has been allotted, and in
that case you may retire t0 the neighbor .

My family for the last twelve years have been
using Aixcock’s Porous Plaster*. and have
found them wonderfully efficacious in coughs,
co.ds, and pains in the side and back.
About ten years ago I was thrown from a
wagon and badly bruised. In three days these
plasters entirely removed the pain and sore
ness. Twice they have cured me of severe colds
which threatened pulmonary trouble. They
also cured my son of rheumatism in the shoul¬
ders, from which he had suffered two yeara.
