Mionroe, March 23, 1871,
IBffunoas feature of the siege oi
Praris,- was that, after supplies of fuel
And provisions had come into ticfcity
An consequence of the armistice, a much
■fitter number of people were visible
BBlic streets than hail* been seen for
■hs before. Inquiries made upon
showed that the wajorily <>f
SSkad heen lying in bed since Oct o
to keep warm. The lar
MWt pf the population of I’ari - was
H by 7, P. M. during those tiwTng
se'ats lias become
lar business under Radical rule, and n
very lucrative one at that. Those wht>
do not succeed in getting admitted to
Congress, are sure to get pay and mil
eage, consequently the inducements
to engage in the . business are better
than legitimate employment. Forty
thousand dollars were divided among
the pretenders at the close of the -list
Congress.
Flanking the Bayonet Election-
Law.— ln; the New York Senate one
Hardenbergli introduced a bill provid
ing that hereafter the annual election
in that State of the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November, except
the eLeufion for President, Vice Pres
ident, and members of Congress, be
changed to the first Tuesday in Oc
tober of each year, and that all legal
provisions applying to elections shall
apply to the elections under this bill.
Chant Laid on the Shelf.— Spca
king of the Grant-Sumner rupture,
the New York Sun says: “Os course
no sensible Republican dpubts that
this quarrel has destroyed the last ves
tige of a chance for the renomination
of Grant. Accepting this as a foregone
conclusion, the party will now begin to
look-around in earnest for anew can
didate who can harmonize its factions
and enable it to present an unbroken
front to the enemy in the great coutest
of next year.”
A Thick-Ihpped M eusek. —The
Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette, speaking of swearing
in of the new members of Congress,
says: ““The appearance of the new
comers was quite encouraging. The
best-face I saw among the lot of the
few remaining scalawags and carpet
baggers, was that of the negro, whose
lips covered the whole surface of the
lid.of the enormous Bible which ho
kissed with great fervor.”
Nigiio Jurors. —Chief Justice Ma
son,of Nebraska, has delivered an opin
ion against negroes, sitting as jurors
in that State. The principle point
made is that the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments grant rights to ue
grates, but impose no duties upon them,
and that jury service is a burden and
not a privilege; that the State consti
tution can be changed only by the
same power that enacted it; that Con
gress could not confer such authority
to change upon the Legislature.
This is a sensible view of the case.—
We have often argued in these columns
against the absurdity of anybody’s
claiming a right to go to jail after
conviction of crime. Nobody cvei
considered it a right until misebiet
could be made out of its exercise.

The Bid of the Speculators. —New
York speculators arc offering to sell
farmers, next January, as much low
middling cotton as they desire, for 14 e.
This means 11J in this section. The
question is, had we better take the
speculator’s offer than work hard all
the year, and then get 7e for it? Make
plantations self-sustaining and farmers
will get a paying price.

adopted daughter of Col. Cole, a most
lovely 3'oung girl of sixteen summers,
on retiring to bed, concluded to extin
guish the light by closing a book sud
denly over the top of the lamp. The
result proved that the blaze was forced
down the chimney into the oil, produc
ing an instantaneous explosion, set
ting her clothes on fire and causing
her death from snffocstion.
Retarding Peach Blossoms. —There i
is only one way to accomplish this,
and that is, to take an axe and cut it
down and cast it into the fire.
I have tried main- ways to chock the
peach from blooming; all failed. Ice
was tried around the bare mots, and
still the buds expanded and fruit form
ed. “Jack frost” made a dean sweep,
and my fine specimens were gone.—
The next season I took a war attitude
: and prepared for defense. I procured
a Large quantity of sawdust, made
; heaps of it all over the peach orchard,
and when there was anil signs of a kill
ing frost I put fire to the sawdust and
raised a dense smoke throughout the
orchard. By this plan, I have saved
a crop of peaches. Now, as the trees
are commencing to bloom, the sawdust
should be placed thick in small heaps,
covering over with pieces of bark to
prevent it from getting too wet, and
when “Jack frost” advances, charge
' him by double column, front and rear,
' and lie will beat a hasty retreat.

A Subject for tlie Present Time.
Nir. 1.
Editor Aiteal : In tlie present age of
and vaunted progress in every
i ffie.well being of our fallen
i humanity, the introductions of tire forms
• and fashions of the world into associations
■ called Christian, can only he productive of
l evil, producing discord, discontent and con
fusion amongst the membership, if there
should be any Christians amongst them,
and necessarily so, because of its anti-
Christian spirit in the substitution of the}
human for the divine will, anil thereby coil -'
stUnting fallen man, or humanity for GotlJ
inasmuch as he or -it would presume to
teach the Deity, instead ol being taught of
God ; it is, therefore, but tlie intrwhlerisfc
of Paganism or Idoletry, enwbrftslfed and
;dressed in tire iiameof Christianity; it iA
\ the worship of the creture instead of tlie 1
Creator, and because of its anti-Christian
and evil spirit it must necessarily come
from the devil, and to tolerate or sanction,
much less to advocate it, is but to tolerate,
sanction and advocate tlie cause of tlie
world, the flesh and the. devil.
1 Tow then is it possible for the Christian to
do so and be consistent and true to his oath
or vows made when joining the church to
! renounce the devil and his works, the vain
!pomp and glory of the world, with all
: covetous desires of the same, and the carnal
desires of the flesh, so that they will not
■ follow or be led by them, anil in entering
j into tills covenant with God, joining anil
remaining in an association called Chris
tian that tolerates,-sanctions anil advocates’
(lie forms anil fashions of the world in their
public service or worship, does lie not in
doing so stultify himself with falsehood
and in the very act make so
heaven, earth and bell o f the lie; and if
unwittingly, may be excused, but if wit
tingly and persisted in, the court of heaven
will settle the matter, and their proffered
plea for the security of heaven and the en
joj-ment of its rights and privaleges, as
may be given in the 22d verse of the 7th
chapter of Mathew, is answered in tlie fol
lowing, or 2Jd verse. And if it lie true, as
I)r. Jeter says, and as I believe it to be,
“ That instrumental worship is not allow
able in Christian worship, and of instru
mental music, not tlie slightest trace in the
New Testament but to its opposite. Speak
ing to yourselves in Psalms, and hymns,
and spiritual songs, singing and making
melody- in your hearts unto the TxirdyqtH
that Organs, now deemed in many places
essential to the solemnity and respectabili
ty of Christian worship, was' introduced
into the Churches in the eighth and nineth
cento lies from the Theatres, and served to
complete the desecration of church music to
purposes of taste and amusement.” It is
not, then, at all- surprising to find, ag said
by Dr. Way land, in 1857, “That in country
and village churches wc have seen large
assemblies melted into tears by the earnest
singing of familiar hymns to simple plain
tive tunes, but we have yet to see the first
tear shed "and the first devotional excite
ment under the influence of the artistic
choir, aided by the solemn tones of a high I
sounding Organ.” 13. IV. R, I
