An artist always looks for large ex

KIT WARREN’S EPISTLE
Which Telleth of the Political Kil-
lennium-
Forasmuch as the millennium, which was
prophesied by them of olden time, hath come to
pass, it seemeth meet fur me, who am a witness
thereof, to write conceruiug the same, which
happened in this wise:
There dwelt aforetime, In the land of Wash
ington, tiie sons of Mammon, and likewise the
Levites, wince miuister at the altar.
Aud there was strife betweeu the sous of
Mammon and the Levites, and all tiie |>eople
joined either the one or I he other.
And tiie children of Mammon prevailed, and
lo! they gat hold on tiie high places of the land
and made themselves rulers thereof:
Aud behold, when the children of Mammon
ruled, sin abounded and wickedness prevailed
throughout the land, even unto the borders
thereof.
And the money changers polluted the temple,
and of the children of Mammon there was none
that dpeth good—no, not one.
Aud the people lifted up their eyes and beheld
the wickedness of the Manmiouites; how that
they |K>llut«d the earth and did evil in the sight
of all mankind.
And the people opened their mouths and cried
out with a loud voice, saying:
“Away with the Mammoultes, which eat up
our substance, and for a pretense bring railing
accusations against the laud overshadowing the
Elheopians!
“They be liars and hypocrites. Away with
them I
“Lo! we will call Grover, a just man and a
Levite, to rule over us.”
Now, in those days tiiere dwelt in the moun
tain country of that laud one James, suruamed
Blaine, who claimed to be some great some
body.
Ami James was a Mammonite of tho most
strictest sect who walked in all the statutes
and ordinances of the Mammonites, blameful,

Ye know not what ye do. Ye are bliud lead

Verily, verily I say unto you, tbe children of
Mammon be the salt of the earth, and the
Princes of the house of your Uncle .Samuel,
And behold thy servant, a Maminuuite indeed,
in whom tiiere is no guile. Make me, 1 pray
thee, a ruler over the people;
And behold, I will make the crooked paths
straight, and where sin has abounded, right
eousness shall much more abound;
For now my fan is iu my baud and I will thor
oughly purge my floor.
And the face of James was fair to look upon,
and tiie words of his mouth were sweeter than
honey and the honey Comb.
Aud Jrtnes wot not that the people knew of
the things he had aforetime done, and how that
lie was corrupt from the crown of his head even

tetnjiestuous career as an attorney, I paid out

Amt In the year 1886. and on the fourth day of
the third month of that year. Grover became the
ruler of the people in the land of Washington.
And many turned out to see hint become the
ruler of tiie people, and lo, many were turned
out thereafter;
Yea, many were changed in the twinkling of

mauner of tiie show man.
For the said Grover opened his mouth and

DAVID B. HILL,
Who will Succeed Preside t-Elect
Cleveland as Governor of New York.
The election of Governor Cleveland’ of New
York to tiie Presidency will make Lieutenant-
Governor {David B. Hill Governor of the State,
in the ordinary course of affairs. Governor
Cleveland will resign in December, 1884, and
Lieutenant Governor Hill will assume his office
in January, 1885. The term to be completed by
him will expire January, 1886.
David B. Hill was born at a hamlet in Che
mung county, New York, eighteen or twenty
miles uortb of Elmira. He went to Elmira
about twenty-one years ago, as a young lawyer,
and was weloomed by some of the leading men
of that city. His fame as a jiolitici.in had pre

The Mother Hubbard.
By Annabel B. White.
All hall to the Mother Hubbbard!
Long may it reign!
Men revile it, ridicule it, despise it and cruelly
persecute it, but if they were wise they would
pray—if men ever pray—for its life to last a hun
dred years at least, for-woman's form in its en
veloping folds is at least allowed to develop ac
cording to nature.
As long as the fashion of the Mother Hubbard
Is adhered to, there will be no headaches, no
backaches, no cramped lungs and dia
phragms. no squeezed ribs, compressed
livers aud hearts among femininity. How cau
its lovely flowing folds be called “hideous,
ugly.” by the sterner sex?
A graceful woman is more graceful still habit
ed in this garment, aud an awkward one feels
more at ease.
It is a hygienic garment, productive of bright
eyes, pink clieess, animation, good health and
longevity. Its healthful influence will extend
to unborn generations. Be wise, oh ye men of
weak minds and encourage its wear.
Cling to it. oh ye willful women, and If the
fashion must die, let it die hard.

Ed. Sunny South: Tiiere Is in the Arkansas
Traveler of the 25th an able argument of Inger-
soll, which should be disproved by the defenders
of the faith. Tiiere are so many who believe
with him that the doctrine of eternal pain is un
just “A man of heart cannot believe in it,” he
says.
A hatred of injustice is implanted in our
natures as a strong principle. We may bear
anything with more patience than that, and sub
missive resignation to it is out of the question.
It is revolting to humanity. There are tinny
who would be glad to believe if they could, but
they are deep thinkers, and they cannot. I be
lieve that Ingersoll himself would gladly believe
in this faith which he attac s, if the ministry
would represent it to him as a consistent whole.
I honestly think that this is what hetswiiling
for and not for notoriety. Tiie ministry should
not meet him with abuse and negative argu
ment but with clear, concise, jwsitive proof.

$15,000 cash iu hand, and the promises of some
of the richest men in . New York for
nearly $300,000 m»re, . the. little coterie
of Blaine managers felt bold and ag
gressive. They immediately determined to get
up Hie biggest torchlight procession of the cam
paign, let the expenses be what they would. It
is related that they bought paraphernalia by the
ton, exacting credit for most of their purchases.
They tionglit complete outfits enough to equip
several regiments of campaigners, spending
thousand^ of dollars for plumed lu-linets, glitter
ing till battle-axes, bearskin hats, banners,
torches, transparencies, etc. All of the prepara
tions for tiie torchlight procession were made on
a lavish, scale. As many thousands will remem
ber, the pageant was a long, varied and attract
ive one. Mr. Blaine reviewed from a flag-
envelotied box on Madisou Square;, and the
following' day, it is alleged, he was jiskfd by
Ills mauagers to prod some of his rich sub
scribers into paying what they had agreed
to. It is said tliat Blaine did so, and with
some success, aliout $25 000 being paid over be
fore he left tiie city. He was then supremely
confident of his election, and told each subscri
ber to tbe fund that lie would sweep all quar
ters. especially front New Jersew, Connecticut
and- Indiana. Tiie committee has no money tit

iromised at the Delmonico dinner have.been

one day when tiie County Judge offered him an
equal partnership with him. The offer was ac.
cepted. and |the connection thus formed
lasted ten years.

These are all facts I am telling you. They

Do von notice the differeno > in the e pro

Very slight an unimportant diffdreuoe, y
say; but the difference of pronunciation was
the differ.. oe between the death of many
people. Two o the Lird’s tribes, Gilead
and - phrai u , got into a fight. The Ephra
im i tea were worsted, and in the r retreat
came to the ords or t"e Jordan to cross.
Orders were given to destroy a 1 the Ephra-
tmi es who attempted to oross; bat ho
-ihonid it be known who were Ephraimites ?
They were det oted by their pronna iation.
Shibboleth wae the word for “river*” It
seemed that the Ephraimites had a peoali
broagae, and that in prononnoing the word
shibboleth they always left ont the soond of
the “h.” As the troops on retreat came to
the Jordan they were asked to prononnoe
the word shibboleth, and if t ey said “cib-
boleth,” they were known immediately as
E hraimites and were destroyed. “Then
said they onto him, ‘Say now shibbo'eth;’
and he said sibbole h, for he oonld not
frame to prononnoe it right. Then they
took him and Blew him at the passages of
Jordan."
What $ small diffsren- e between these
tribes of Gilead and Ephraim, and what in

the difference between the tribes of tbe
Lord in oar time, that is, be
tween one denomination and another, is
often of no more importance. The ehoro
of God is all-divided op into a t altitude of
denominations and seots. Time woald fail
me to speak of the Gelvinieta and the S«b-
batarians, and the Armenians, and the S*e-
’enborgians, and the Bapterians, and the
Dnnkers, and the Shakers, and the Parker-
ites, and tbe Methodists and Bapt eta and
La heraos aud Presbyterians and Spiritna -
mta and aoorea of other denominations of
religionists. S line oft ese denominations
cere established by very good men, some
by very egotistieal meu, some b, very bad
men. Between some of them there is onl»
a differ noe in words; between others a dif
ference as wide as between troth and error,
between lig t and darkness, between heaven
and hell. Some of these beliefs I could in
no wise adopt, and yet so long as I demand
liberty of oonsoienoe for myself, I must
allow liberty of oonsoienoe to every other
m-sh ; for I m st remember that he does not
diffdr more from me than I dtffdr from him.
I shall this morning advocate the largest
liberty in all religions,belief and dti-onsaion.
In art, in social life, in poiitios, in religion,
et there be no moving of the “previous
question,” no int leranoe, no ihntnb screw,
uo gag law, no perseoo ion. Y u all know
that the air and t e water re kept pare by
constant oironlation, and I believ e there is
a tendency in religions ditto-salons t > pori-
tioatio and moral health. Between the
4th oentury and the 16 h oentnry the ohnreh
of God proposed to keep o t error by pro
hibiting all religions disoassion and by a ^

them see things dtffe enlly by patting an
awl through their eyes. There ia some
thing in tvery man’s oonsoienoe to nnheave
the mountain that you would throw npon it,
aod, unsinged of the nr , out of the fl ime to
make red wings on which the martyr shall
inhnot to glory.
Io that very time nf a hioh I speak, be
tween tbe 4 h and 16 h oentn y, men went
from the charchee of God into the most ap-
p tiling .niquity, and right by the alta s of
Christ fl wed a tide of drunkenness and
•toentiousness that tbe world has never seen
• quallt-d, and the very sewers of perditi
broke loose and delated the ohnroh with
filth and wiokeduess. Then the p inting
press oame f rth ai d broke the shackles of
the ha i an mind. Tnere oame a go d many
bad books, but ight after them there oame
a great m iny healthful books; so that where
• he'ewaso e man t denounce the Chii«-
■ian religion there were twenty men to ad
vooate it. 8 >, my friends. 1 have no ner
vous e -s in regard to this great war going on
between it ut i»n I error. Let the error rnn,
■f jou only let troth ran along with it.
U ged on by skeptics’ shoots and trans-
oeudentalists’ spur, let it ran. God's an
gels of wrath are in hot pursuit, and, quiok
er than eagle’s beak olutohes oat a hawk's
heart, God’s vengenoe shall tear it to pieoea
Let error run, if yon only let troth ran along
with it,
In this great conflict between the right
aod the wrong the right will triumph just as
OTtainly as God is stronger than the devil.
Let os have no fear, then, that the error of
the wot Id is going to overoome the trn h of
the ehoroh. God is rating in the world, and
all shall be well. 1 am very glad that peo
pie do not all think alike in matters of re
ligion. What a stopid world this would be
if all people were Alike. I will never see
throagh yonr eyes. Yon will never hear
through my ears. No man can lord it over
oar ooDSoienoee.
I propose this morning to speak to ynn of
sectarianism—its origin, its evils and its
cures. There are those who would make u»
think that this monster with horus and
hoofs is religion. I shall ohase it to its
hiding plaoe and drag it out of the caverns
of darkuess and rip off its hide. Bat I want
to mike a distinction beween bigotry and
the lawful fondness for peculiar religious
beliefs aud forms of worship. I have no
admiration for a nothingarian. In a world
of such tremendous vicissitude auo temp a
lion, and with a soul that mast after awhile
stand before the throne of insuff irable
brightness, in a day when the rocking of the
mountains and tbe fl tming of the heaveus
and the upheaval of the sea shall be among
tbe'least of the exoitement, to give aoounnt
for every thought, word or notion, prefer
ence and dislike, that man ia mad who has
09 religions preference. Bat oar early ed
ucation, oar physioal temperament, onr
mental constitution, will very much deeide
onr form of wirship. A style of psalmody
that may please ine may displease yon.
Some wooldj like to have a minister in
gown and bauds and snrplioe, and others
prefer to have a minister in plain oitizsu’s
apparel. Some are most impressed wt.en a
little child is presented at the altar, and
Sprinkled of t*<e waters of a holy benedio
ton in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of tl e Holy Ghost, aud others are
more impressd w eu the penitent oome-
np out of the r ver, his garments dripping
with the waters of a bap-iem which signifies
the washing away of sio. Either is right in
his opinion. Let either have his own way.
Oae mao likes no noise in prayer, not a
ord, not a whisper. Another man, just as
good, prefers by gesticulation and exela-
AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints are co insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs-,
none so trilled with by the majority of suffer
ers. Tiie ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AVER’S Cherry Pectoral lias
well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should bo
taaeu in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
“ In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs. I had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. 1 tried Ayer’s CtJERRV Pec
toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest neeessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perma
nent cure was effected. I am now 62 years
old, hale aud hearty, and am satisfied yodl
Ciikkky Pectoral saved me.

Croup.— A Mother’s Tribute.
“While i" the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of tbe family suggested the use
of AVer’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small ami frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said tliat the Cherry Pectoral had
saved my darling’s life. Can you Bonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Emma Geonky."
159 West 128tli St., New York, May 16, 1882.
“i have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
in my family for several years, aud do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs aud colds we have ever
tried. A. .1. CRANE."
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882.
“ i suffered for eight years from Bronchitis,
and after trying many remedies with no suc
cess, 1 was cured by the use of Ayer's Cher
ry Pectoral. Joseph Walden.”
Byhalia, Miss., April 5,1882.
“ I cannot say enough in praise of Aypr’s
Cherry Pectoral, believing as 1 do that
hut for its use I should long since have died
from lung troubles K. Bragdon.”
Palestine, Texas, April 22, 1882.
No ease of an affection of the throat ot
lungs exists which oannot be greatly relieved
by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and it will ahrays cure when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.
