Hurrah for Northen. While we are not disposed to treat anyone with disrespect or unkindness, neither do we laud such conduct in others, yet the following language, used by Governor Northen in reply to Mayor Hemphill’s invitation to meet the Gould party is a fitting re buke to that oppressive despotism that has characterized the life of Jay Gould. This is .the note as clipped from the Athens Banner without head or signature: • “I recognize with the fullest appre ciation the consideration shown me as the chief executive of the state and 1 beg leave to tender you my thanks for the compliment. I must be allowed to say, however, that I do not recognize Mr, Gould as visiting the slate in any official capacity, but rather in his own interests without regard to the people of the state. 1 may be mistaken in my measure of the man, but I am caudid in saying, that I do not think his methods as prac ticed in other sections where he has had power, would develop our state on the line of the public good. Without in the least criticising the opinions of others, and thanking you most heartily for the compliment in tended in the invitation you so kindly tendered me, I must most respectfully decline. Please understand that what I say refers specially and solely to Mr. Gould, and not any other members of his party.” There is something heroic in this modern movement to rescue the most degraded of the children of nen. Back of it is the grand conception of Christianity which thinks of our bless ed religion not as a luxury suited especially for those “who dwell in kings’ courts, and who live delicately,’ but as the heaven designed remedy for the sick, the source of hope for the prodigals and the harlots, the refuge of those who’have been cast out and trodden under foot of men. Rescue work is not a hopeless under taking. Its results are fairly commen sal-’ ..ith the efforts put forth. Witness Jerry MeAifle.', Die r r - —rtiormed and redeemed drunkards, whom it is possible to find in almostanygreatcity, where rescuing agencies have been in operation any length of time.—Congregationalist. George Kennan finds the greatest possible assistance in his wife The couple have no children, and she is enabled - o devote all her time to her husband’s interests, which she does both willingly and successfully. Each day finds her at work recopying man uscripts, reading proofs, translating some Russian piece, or going over the receipts from his work, and seeing to its investment or deposit. Mrs. Ken nan is a thorough business woman, of considerable business tact, and of a great deal of personal attractiveness. The Interior says: “The New York ministers who are contributing articles tor the Sunday papers, each one ad vocating his own denomination, are contributing their strength to the breaking down of respect for the Sab bath. No man who will devote his Sunday mornings to reading of the contents of the Sunday daily will long have a high idea of the sacredness of the day, or much respect for the sanctuary. When the sacrednss of the Sabbath is gone there is not much of it left.” True, we shall jrass through that river which is named Death; but it is a misnomer; like the Jordan when Isreal passed into Canaan, the Lord hath rebuked it, and it is dried up. YVe shall pass through the valley of the shadow of death, and that is all; and thus we shall reach a higher stage of being, in which we shall be ‘ forever with the Lord.”— Spurgeon. This is what Hurts. The editor of a religious paper who frequently writes against Sabbath desecration, recently received this note from railroad passenger agent: “You often speak about Sunday trains. Here is the great Methodist Episcobal church applying from two points on .our line for Sunday excursion trains; and they not only want to get the people to the conference, but they want to speculate on it, making something for the benefit of churches. What can a soulless corporation do under sueli circumstances?—Xashville Advocate. The Drink Traffie. So far as the conferences are con cerned the sentiment of Methodism on the drink traffic is not ambiguous. It is practically unanimous. It deep ens in intensity. It reveals the ac tion of disappointed hope and blight ed faith. It declares a lofty disdain of parties as such. It affirms undying fealty to prohibition. It has no faith in the principle of licensing or taxing the iniquity. It avers solemnly that the only consistent attitude toward this sin is that of prohibition. It will be voted. All parties do well to note the prediction. They must elect be tween the support of temperance men and whisky men. d’artv ties will consume in the fires of conscience. If you want our votes, deserve them. We ask bread, fish: you have given us stones, serpents. Our children and our homes are of profoumler con cern to us than tariff or free trade or official patronage. The saloon must go.—Western Advocate. The London authorities are think ing about beginning public improve ments on a vast scale in order to fur nish work for the unemployed. No city and no country can afford to have large numbers of its people suf fer when they are willing to work. If relief will come in no other; way the government must take action.—Atlan ta Constitution. The ruler of tiro business world is the man who advertises wisely and largely. If thou art wise thou knowest thine own ignorance, and thou art ignorant if thou knowest not thyself.—Luther. Fam iUivviutea uy ciecuicuy, A writer la a medical paper says he ho had frequently obtained much relief from facial neuralgia by applying an incandescent light to the part affected. He suggested that the lamp could also be used in poulticing advantageously. It could be laid over a flaxseed or other form of poultice, and constant heat could be thus secured.—New York Td egram.
