Much objection was recently made (o
Higgins, appointment clerk in the treas

one good thing. His inquiries have
shown that a young lady clerk, receiving
nominally $62.50 a month, pays half of
the sum to u lady outside, to whom she
promised it to secure her n pcsithn. He
will give her another place, to release

SELECTIONS FROM SAM JONES.
We see God all around us. The moun
tains are God's thoughts upheaved. The
rivers are God’s thoughts in motion,
i The oceans ara God’s thoughts imbed
| tied. The dewdrops are God's thoughts
in pearls.
I believe that the whale swallowed Jo
nah, and the only reason I don’t believe
that Jonah swallowed tho whale is be
cause the Bible don’t say so.
You don’t believe what you don't un
derstand. Do you understand why some
cows havo horns and some arc mu'ey?
You don’t believe what you don’t see.
Did you ever see your backbone?
The hardest thing for me to believe orc
the Ten Commandments and tho sermon
on tho Mount.
Custom is the law of fools, and is ruin
ing this country.
God pity the tnan who can’t run his
homo without a deck of cards. He ought
to have been in hell long before he had
children born unto him.
1 used to dance, but when I wanted a
wife I went to the prayer meeting, and I
beat your sort, too.
If any man don't like what I say let
him com# to me afterward and I'll —for-
give him.
You dance with this world and you’ll
go to hell with this world.
1 have no respect for Mahone’e poli
tics, but I like his answer to the ques
tion how much fie weighed, lie said: "I
weigh 95 pounds, but 90 pounds of that
is backbone.”
Some mon think they havo backbone
but it is nothing but a cotton string run
up their becks.
There is more religion in laughing than
cryir-g. If religion consists in crying, I
have tho best boy in the world.
I photograph yeur own ugliness, and
you sit here and laugh at it. You ought
to be ashamed.
I am a Methodist, and want to be the
best one God ever made.
When St. Peter said add to your
knowledge temperance, ho didn't have
reference to you, old red-nosed Metho
dist. Any tnan who pretends to be a
Christian and drinks whisky is a great
big old humbug—a two-legged hypociitc.
Society is a heartless old wretch, and
if you don’t get out of it you will go to
hell with it.
When tho doctor snys you can’t live
but an hour you’ll want just such a
preacher as is talking to you.
God bores through the top of a man's
head to bis heart and on down to his
pocket.
Ihe lawyer who knows as little about
Blackstone and the Supremo Court re
ports as the average chiistian does about
the Bible, would never have but one
case. The sherifl would be his next
client.
If any of you don't like the way these
services aro going, there aro three doors
—you are cordially asked to leave.
When your little cup is full you can
just back out.
Red liquor and Christianity won’t stay
in tho same hide.
In a Georgia town a number ol girls
married men to reform them, and now
tho town is full of little whippoorwill
widows.
HoW lovely is a patient woman. God
pity the man who has a forked tongued
wife.
Tho matter of church doctrine is an
accident, if my mother and brother
Witherspoon’s mother ha 1 swapped ba
bies he might have been a Methodist
preacher.
The devil is too much of a gentleman
to stay where he is not welcome.
The churches of Nashville furnish
whisky to the surrounding country. Some
of your wholesale liquor dealers belong
to the church.
If brother Barbee would draw the line
where the Lord wants him to draw it,
there would not be a hundred members
left in the cliuteh.
The back door of the church ought to
be opened once a year and give all who
have not lived up to its rules an oppor
tunity to pass out.
Bob Ingersoll (and I never call his
name without feeling the need of a dis
infectant) says whisky is God's worst
enemy and the devil's best friend. He
is good authority on that side.
Whisky is a good thing in its place,
and that place is in hell. If I get there
I will drink all I can get, but I won't do
it hero.
The greatest rascals are those who are
scrupulously honest. If 1 sea a man
walk across town to pay a nickle, 1 watch
him.
If such a crowd as this were to come to
prayer meeting you would scare your
pastor.
When I first started out, I was afraid
I would hurt somebody's feelings. Now
1 am afraid I won't.
You may not like my grammar. lam

HE KAT.
The eyes of the civil zed world are now
directed to Central Asia. Within the
last ten years the Russian armies have
overrun the vast plateau from which is
i sued tbe Aryan race, the same mighty
j breed of men which has from time to
I time repeatedly conquered the rest of the
world. A study of language has proved
that the Hindoo and the European have
cotne from one common stock, whose
birthplace to-day is contro’led by the
forces of the Czar. From its base on the
Caspian Sea the . Russian armies have
marched steadily southward, until now
its outposts aro within striking distances
of Herat. This is one of the most import
ant places on the map of the world. It
was contended for by mighty armies long
before the beginning of recorded history.
This is shown by its defensive works,
which are of great extent and magnitude,
but of the construction of which no record
has come down to ns. When various
waves of Aryan invasion moved south
ward, Herat was first reized, as it was
the key to the military possession of In
dia. Should it fall into the hands of
Russia, that event would mark the be
ginning of the end of British rule over
Hindostan. Weak as she is in a military
sense compared with other nations,
Great Britain would risk a war with any
other power against heavy odds rather
than allow Herat to come into the pos
session of the Muscovite. The war may
be postponed, but coma it will, for Herat
is of vital importance to Russia from a
trade point ot view. That city is now
Ihe gateway through which pours the
commerce of Great Britain with Central
Asia. British goods worth thirty mil
lion dollars are annually distributed to
these parts of the Asiatic continent now
under tho dominion of Russia. This
great trade the Muscovite authorities
would like to secure for their owu manu
facturers. Hence evety consideration of
power and interest impels Russia to ob
tain possession of the gateway to the In
dies. The country about Herat too is
exceedingly fertile, and would support an
army of a hundred thousand men. — Dem

Nervousness.
The moment there is danger of impair
ment of the mind from exessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
shunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, Peruna and
Manalin should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait so long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion;
or in others, certa n powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying com
paratively good health. In all these Pa
ru.va and Manaux should at once be
taken.
