A recurrence of the scenes in Pittsburg
io 1878 seems very probable. Ths late
strikers in Chicago and Cleveland under
took to say that others should not take
their places. Men have a perfect right
to refuse to work at an unsatisfactory
price. They have no right to say that
others shall not work, and if they try to
compel them to stop work they should be
promptly put down. If tho police are
not sufficient, call out th<; military. No
duty of a government is more imperative
than to protect peaceable citizens against
violence.

wero the lowest bidders for the stone
work on the postoffice building at Peoria,
Illinois, Staub & Co., of Buffalo, N. Y.,
protested against thocontract being given
to them because they are contractors for
the Illinois convicts, aud will put con
victs to cutting tho stone. Solicitor Mo-
Co# decided that the government could
not bo expected to dictate tho moans
with which tho contractors should per
form their work. Secretary Manning
sustained him, and Brainerd & Co., got
the contract. The employment of con
vict labor is an important question- Tho
laborers of the country are demanding
that convict labor shall not be employed
in away to compete with free labor. Te

England’s navy is not deteriorating.
She bae just launched a ship that oan de

68 feet 4 inches beam, 37 feel deep, and
has a displacement of 10,000 tons. Iler
engines are 9,503 horse power and will,
it is estimated, give her a speed of 17}

The whipping post is growing in favor.
This method of punishment has been
agitated in several Northern States, for
wife beaters. It showed consiierable
strength even in Massachusetts, and was
not without advocates in Pennsylvania.
At the late meeting of the convention on
prisons and charities, in Washington
City, the report from Delaware, where
tho whipping post is a fixed institution,
was favorable to it as a prevention of
small crimes,
Maryland has adopted this punishment
for wife-beators, and very recently a
wretch was sentenced to this punishment.
Wife-beating is very common among ne
groes, as are potty cria cs, and the cost
to the State is very large and steadily in
creases.
Ueorgia might adopt, then, the whip
ping post with advantage to the criminal
class and the public treasury.
As the Legislature is about to meet, it
may keep out of the mischief that hangs
on idleness, by addressing itself to this
subject.
If the whipping-post is to bo revived,
and it should be for a certain class of of
fenders, the benefits of it should bo ex

QUESTIONS OF DESION.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's sermon
(28th ult.) was upon the questions of de
sign in creation, and of genera] and special
providence, as th'ey stand related, not
only to scripture tes'imony, but to what
to what we now know of the course cf
natural law in this world. The view of
the famous German scientist Haeckel,
that the world needs no God, that it has
io itself provision for all the phenomena
that have taken place, seemed to Mr,
Beecher not to simplify the problem of
creation, but to make it still more diffi
cult to comprehend.
’’Nothing in human experience furn
ishes a basis for believing in the origin
and progress of the world of its own self,
without any external influence. The be
lief that back of every effect there must
be a cause, has been wrought into the
common sense of mankind; and Hseckel’s
theory leaves the origin of matter unac
counted for. Tha origin of matter, and
the existence of tendencies or laws in mat
ter, seem inconceivable. The same is true
of the origin of the Divine Being, but
confessedly this is removed from human
investigation, which oan take hold only
of that wh ch has some relation to the or
ganization of the mind and body; God
has not. But we gain nothing by exclud
ing divine intelligence, and to include it
smoothes the way of investigation, and is
agreeable to the nature of the human
mind. It is easier to conceive a persona)
God, with will, power, and intelligence,
than to conceive a world of such vast and
varied substances as this, performing all
the functions of will, power, and intelli
gence.
Tho doctrine of evolution seemed at first
to destroy the fact of intelligent design in
creation. So tho agnostic school, which
includes some of the noblest spirits of our
day, sprang up. ‘God may exist, but we
do not know it,’ say they. But this is
what tho Bible says from beginningloend.
It is what philosophy is now beginning to
explain. We cannot understand the di
vine nature, so far exalted above anything
yet developed in us, except it dawns on
us when we are ourselves unfolded, and
rise to such an elevation as does not be
long to (he great mass of the human race.
God is to be seen only by those faculties
that verge on the divine itself; and by
them moral intuition docs come, with a
certainty as great as any that scientific
investigation brings to the senses of men.
The question of design in creation is being
renewed in a grander way. If adaptation
to special uses was an indication of divine
design, how touch more is it ao evidence
of design when we see such adaptations
proceed from a universal plan of develop
ment! Paley’s celebrated argument of
design was illustiated by a man finding a
watch, and inferring, from its adaptation
to the purpose of keeping time, that it is
the work ofan intelligent being. But sup
pose .ho same man should be taken to a
factory where thousands of watches are
turned out by machinery every day, with
out being touched by huninti liaads, ex
cept to put the parta together, would he
not ba still more profoundly impressed by
the evidence of intelligence in the design
er of machinery adapted to such work?
As to special providence, no doctrine
was more explicitly taughtby JesueOhrist
than that of God's personal care and in
spection of individuals and communities.
If science should overthrow this doctrine,
it would make a serious broach in our
f aith, not only in the New Testament, but
in tho divinity of Christ. Men say that
God would not set aside natural law for
the benefit of any favored person, family,
or community. They say God works by
laws of force, and never otherwise! This
is impudence. We don’t know what God
thinks, nor what lie doos. Some parts
of His ways have been let down within
the reach of our observation, but not all;
1 and while we have no right to affirm that
lie dees, we have no right to affirm that
He does not. The popular idea that nat
ural laws are unchangeable, irresistible,
and uncontrollable, is an illusion. Noth
ing is gentler, more pliable, end more us
able, than natural laws. Obey them, and
thjy become your servants. Natural laws
are constantly* checked, directed, made
inoperative - They arc set in conflict one
against another, and mads to compromise
We make wind and water grind for us,
and carry us. Electricity, the groat buf
foon of the north on winter nights, or
flashing about in storms, the pyrotechnics
of the world, in its untouched state was
useless and barren. Now it doctors the
sick, lights our dwellings, plays poMboy,
carries t,ew» in a twinkling round the
world. It has become fruitful, because
man has learned how to use it. By using
natural laws, not abusing or violating
them, men can make of them providences
for the advantage and elevation, not only
of themselves, but of those around
Tho invention of a single machine may
change the industries and the destinies of
nations. Civilization itself is but a wise
subjection ofnatural laws by human intel
ligence and will. And if God cannot cre
ate a providence by using, not violating,
natural laws, then he cannot do what the
meanest creatures on earth can do in
some degree. He oan exert, directly or
indirectly, upon the consciousness of men,
that which will make them the enactors
of his own decree. Some hold that God
takes care of the system only, and dues
not heed incidental results. But I hold
I that there is another teaching in the Bi-
I ble, namely, that all things shall work
I together for good to them that love God.
! In other words, I believe that the laws
which we have learned up to a certain
point are doubtless surmounted by other I
and statelier laws, which have relation, I
not so much to flesh and blood, as to the
mind and spirit of man: aud when men
love God, and live in the attitude of the j
divine nature aud will, they are bealeu .
u; on there by invisible itfl-iences which
are more really natural laws than any of
tho lower and grosser ones that pertain
to the body, and to external conditions.
I find nothing in science that sets thia
doctrine aside, but I find much there that
corroborates it.—Atlanta Journal.

FOR THE FUN OF IT.
There are many people who indulge in
fishing and gunning simply for the fun of
it; not stopping to ask whether or not
it be right to kill a creature for sport
merely. However, this may be, moral
ly considered, the supposed fun of ti e
thing is not unf'rcqaeutly accompanied
by tho keenest feelings of remorse. A
Boston boy, now an inergetic bu«iness
man in a Western city, tells the follow
ing story touching this matter:
I was floating round in my boat in the
lower harbor one bright daj - in June,
when a sea gull, which on the wing is one
of the most graceful of birds, but whose
flesh is not used for food, came sailing
over my head.
“What a splendid shot 1” I said, and
seizing my gun, I fired at him. He fell
near the boat, not dead, but mortally
wounded. As I drew him into the boat,
suffering much agony, he turned his dy
ing eyes upon me, as if 1 e said, “Why
did you shoot me? 1 have done you no
harm. I was enjoying myself floating
in the air, as you on the water in your
boat; why did you shoot me?”
Having done what I had, it would have
been merciful to end his suffering at
once, but I had no mere heart for killing;
and tho minute that passed before he
died seemed as an hour to me.
Tho remorse for that wanton shooting
preyed on my spirits for days; and tho
remembrance of it has most effectually
cured mo of any desire to kill for the fun
of it, any creature that God has made.—

That Dirty Dandruff.
Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in
every way. It soils the clothing contin
ually, and is accompanied by a hardly
less annoying sensation of itching. ' The
scalp is diseased. There is nothing io
the world so thoroughly adapted to this
trouble as Parker's Hair Balsam. It
cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the
falling hair and restores its original soft
ness, gloss and color. Is not oily, highly
perlumed, an elegant dressing. Very
economical, as only a small occasional
application keeps the hair in perfect
condition.

LOVE IN THE WIREGRASS.
There is any amount of fun in courting
a young girl who has not been used to it.
She swallows all the soft things a fellow
says, but when it comes to popping the
question, or something of that kind.jshe
gets frightened more or less, and wants
time to consider until there* are enough
loop holes for her lover to slip out
though without the least trouble, if he
happens to see some one he thinks he
could love a shade or two better. Young
girls are timid and shy in earnest, and if
a fellow is not pretty certain be has found
precisely the angel he is looking for, be
can manage so as to have the refusal of
her for a year or more, and at the same
time manage to keep his neck out of the
reach of a breach of promise suit when he
happens to meet some other sweet-faced
angel that seems to him to be better
suited to his taste.
It is different with a widow. She gets
rid of all her shyness at the earliest con
venient opportunity, and finds out the
principal things she desires to know of
him before she allows him to get ac
quainted. The school girl of sixteen en
trusts herself to any young fellow on
sixty or ninety days’ sight without|~ecuri
ty, but the widow, like a thrifty whole
sale house, goes out and examines the
mercantile reports concerning him, and
then sells to him on her own terms for
cash. She has him sized up before he
comes to market, and when she looks
as if she were a very artless creature,
and fights shy of him whenever he hap
pens to set up a little close to her on the
sofa, there are ten chances to one that he
will never look any further, but will
buckle right up to her and put the ques
tion fairly and squarely, and when he has
done so she is not going to tremble and
blush and ask for a week or month in
which to make up her mind. She will
just wind her arms around his neck and
look up into his face without one of Ella
Wheeler’s fiery yearns, and before he has
' any time to catch his breath he will find
i himself nailed to the cross with a “yes”’
that piorces him to the very soul.—

COARSENESS IN THE PULPIT.
r ——
We believo that Mr- Jones is a good
man, and that he is really trying to do
p good in the world. We would not say a
, word that would diminish his usefulness,
( but we believe he would increase it by
j curbing his coarse utterances. And fur
, thermore we believe that Mr. Jones, like
f
the rest of us, can study with much profit
a certain chapter in the Bible beginning:
“Though I speak with the tongues of men
and of angels, and have not charity, I am
’ become as sounding brass, or a tiokliog
r cymbal ”
Mr. Jones does not speak with the
’ tongues of angels, and though he must
have some charity, he is lunch in need of
more. If he corrects the faults we have
noted, his present reputation will be suc
ceeded by one much more lasting, and his
’ usefulness greatly increased. As it is at
• present, we fear that many go to hear bim
’ simply from curiosity, hoping to hear
something to produce laughter, and that
“fools who go to scoff” Uo not often "re
main to pray.”
i There is an earnestness about Mr. Jones
I which is to be admired, as should also be
the courage with which he reproves sin
and wickedness; but what shall we say of
• language like the following: “You can’t
: reform a state till you send good men to
I the legislature. Some men come to every
legislature that meets in Georgia who are
i not fit to go to the chain-gang.” This
■ was in a temperance address. Mr. Jones
should be temperate, not only in life, as
i we have no doubt he is, but temperate
in language.— Mobile Register.

Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, ’.vrites.
M Dr. S. B. Hartman Co , Columbus,
Ohio: I commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERUNA this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. I
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was ju«t giving up in despair
when I got one of your books. “ The 111 *
of Life. I was in bed at the time. I
read and re-read your book and feit like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying any thing more.
I was too far gone, and might as weil
make up my mind to die. I told them
PERUN A was the medicine I need /d. and
I intended to try a bottle. It proved a suc
cess in breaking the chills, an 1 if it had
not done one thing more, I would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
I ftfeel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me locking
to weil, as they ail thought I wagtdving
with consumption,and now my own folks
have as much to say for the FerUNA as
I. I recommend it to everybody I see.
There were two of our neighbors ia yes
terday inquiring about the PERCNA. I
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as I prized it very high
ly. The other got the name of the Pe
rcna to send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Ingrains,
though nothing compared to being so bad.
There was a lump raised on my colkrr
bone, and it was a long time before it
looked like opening. 3 lie doctor said he
would have to lance it in a few days, but
I thought I would attend to that myself*
bo I put a little fly blister on it and it
opened; then I put a poultice on and then
salve, and kept t.ie salve on all the time.
It got bad and spread upon nry left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
hack of iny ear that was j i t d-eadful.
No tongue can tell what I suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes. I thought
I was going crazy. Since 1 have used
the PEKt’NA (I don’t use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. I feel like letting everybody
know all about it.”
John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa., writes:
“ Your PERUNA is a good medicine, and
we sell lots of it. Will you please send
