THE PAST AND PRESENT. '
If Democratic spe&hes for the past
thirty years could be published what a
jumbled mass bf ' contradictions they
-would be; but neyertheless they would
furnish interesting reading matter in
the light of the pretensions of the party
to-day. First on the list would come
the anti-Lincoln orations of 1861 to
1865, in which the great president was
denounced as a buffoon and heartless
joker; then would follow speeches de
scribing the useless expenditure of
money and sacrifice of human lives in
continuing a fratricidal war. : Still
" .
later on would be read addresses on
the imDOSsibilitv of caving the im
mense national debt, which would be
a burden on generations yet unborn
J Then would come the howl for "equic-
able adjustment" and to pay the bond
, holders in currency; and further on
the "rag-baby" craze and the tirade
against resumption of specie payment
These obstruction tactics wonld con
tinue to the present,and would culmin
ate' in the attempt being made to break
down American industries by the ad
vocacy of free-trade. It is a fact well
known to all students of American
history that every national policy pre
servation of the union, the honest ful
fillment of national obligations, recon
struction, resumption of specie pay
ment and protection to American in
dustriesinaugurated by the Repub
lican party since .1861, have been
carried out successfully and have re
suited in great prosperity to the coun
try. Every one of these have been
bitterly opposed by the Democratic
party in its national platforms and on
the stump, and in not one instance
has its predictions of financial disas
ter and ruin been verified by subse
quent events. Every principle advo
cated bythe Republican platform adopt
ed in Minneapolis has been tested by ex
perience, and has been the cause of na
tional prosperity and advancement.
To imagine that the country could
have enjoyed its present progress un-
: der any different policy would be vis
: ' ionary in the extreme, and would in
dicate lunacy or idiocy. This is the
' capital of the Republican party in the
present campaign. The success of the
Republican party during the last quar-
'. ter of a century has been the success of
the nation,-, and the history of the
United States in the past thirty years
has been the history of the patriotism
and economic policy of the ' Republi-
'can party. .
;'' FUSION.
The resignation of Col. R. A. Miller,
' one of the Democratic presidential
electors, for th alleged reason of in
eligibility ' to the office, might have
, been considered the proper thing if it
1 had occurred earlier in the campaign
and if the state central committee had
not appointed Mr. Nathan Pierce, a
Populist elector, to nil ' the vacancy.
As it is, the most obtuse person will
, view it in no other light than a fusion
between the Democrats and. People's
party. The fact was apparent that in
,- Oregon Mr. Cleveland's vote would
fall several thousand below that of
Mr. Harrison's, and Tammany, to save
every member possible in the electoral
' ' college, has issued the edict ordering
a fusion in the western states irre
vocably Republican witl Populists.
Such tactics are not at all surprising
in a party that : has stooped to any-
: thing that would give it an oppor
tunity to thwart the popular will of
the people and elevate it to the
. public offices. This is the same party of
spoils that opposed reconstruction and
' ' howled "equitable adjustment" after
. the war closed, following the same
tricks and schemes for plunder. It must
be recollected that Mr. Pierce was a
; Democrat before he was a Popu
list, and his sympathies are entirely
with the party of his eariler choice.
Republicans voting : for him on the
, Populist ticket should recollect that
they are supporting a bedrock . Demo
' crat, with all the obloquy attaching to
such. It is not ascertained whether
' , Secretary McBride has filed this new
Democratic ticket, and if he refuses
the legality of the Tammany trick1
under the Australian ballot system it
will be tested in the supreme court.
Mrs. Harrison died in Washington
- City early this morning, after an ill
ness of several weeks. As lady of the
White House during President Harri-
.. son's administration she has endeared
herself to the American people, and
her death will cause universal sorrow.
To her husband, in his great affliction,
the nation will extend its tenderest
sympathy. Through the long and
tedious watch by her bedside, Ameri
can citizens have shared with the
president the anxiety regarding her
condition, and, now that the wife and
mother has passed away, all hearts
. will feel the deepest regret. As the
chief lady of the land, and as the lov
( ing help-meet of the executive and
mother of. his children, she is entitled
to lasting respect. . She was an exem
plary woman in all the relations of
life, and as such was worthy of the
highest admiration.
We. have seen it . stated in somo
Democratic papers that the principles
of the Republican party to-day are
contrary to those advocated by the
great patriot, Abraham Lincoln, and
that, if he were alive,!' he would be
a Democrat. Such rot would be ridic
ulous if it were not used to dupe men
who exercise the right of - suffrage and
have not the intellectual ability to dis
criminate, and then it becomes malic
iously wicked. . The Republican plat
form of 1860 favored a high protect
ive tariff, and this was the platform on
which Mr. Lincoln was elected. ' Dur
ing that campaign Mr. Blaine made
protection speeches, and they contain
the same arguments which are being
used V.y every Republican orator iu
the present canvass, The great Lin
coln was a Republican of Republicans,
and as such was roundly abused by
every Democratic paper from Maine
to Oregon. But the logic of events
has proved that he was a statesman,
and the policy he pursued was for the
best interests of the nation. Now,
when his . memory is held sacred by
the American people, the chameleon
like Democrats applaud and venerate
him whom they slandered and ma
ligned in his living presence. In an
other quarter of a century, after Pres
ident Harrison has joined his kindred
dust, the Ddmocratj who oppose his
administration to-day will build a
mausoleum over his ashes. They stab
and poison the living.and erect shrines
over their waves when dead. Such is
the history cf the party.
TUB HYBRID TICKET.
When it was apparent that General
Weaver would attract many votes
from the Democratic ticket, the organs
of that party in Oregon were never
tired of warning the people that any
support given him would be the same
as wasted or thrown on the side of the
Republicans; and especially loud were
these warnings after Governor Pen
noyer made his free-silver speech at
Roseburg. But a change has come
pver the dreams of Democrats since
the substitution of Pierce, the Popu
list elector, in place of Colonel Miller,
who has resigned his position on the
electoral ticket It is nothing un
common now to hear old bedrock Dem
ocrats, who heartily endorsed the
mono-metalism theories of Mr. Cleve
land, speaking strongly of the benefit
that would result to the wage-earners
if the Populists' idea were carried out.
and everything made money that bore
the impression of the government
stamp. Some claim that either po
tatoes, corn or wheat would make
good circulating medium, and long for
the halcyon days when coonskins passed
as money. These men are preparing
themselves so that they can swallow
the bitter dose without being nauseated,
and they will be in excellent condition
by the 8th of November to gulp down
Weaver and Pierce. The speeches of
the Populists' leader, in which he
spoke of the Democratic party in very
plain Anglo-Saxon, are now forgotten
and they no longer appear in the edi
torial columns of the organs of that
organization. lammany has mixed the
prescription, and it must be swallowed
with the best grace possible, lieneral
Weaver and the People's party must
be praised since the wedding has taken
place, and the bride and groom must
keep the honeymoon after the most
approved loving style.
Tammany appears to be as enthusi
astic for Cleveland and Stevenson as
it well can be; but its enthusiasm is
of rather a treacherous kind, which
may fail when most needed., Eight
years ago, wnen Air. uieveiana was
elected to the presidency by the mug
wump vote, the motto of the campaign
was: "We respect him for the enemies
he has made." At that time Tam
many knifed him with a fine Italian
hand, and the members of this corrupt
ring were "the enemies" he had made.
How is it now, and will the motto be
changed to "We dishonor him for the
friends he has made" 1 We think not,
for the offices in the gift of the execu
tive are too attractive for Democrats
to give the least attention to integrity
or consistency. ' The object of Democ
racy is securing spoils, and to procure
plunder it would fondle Tammany, eat
and sleep with Populists and pretend
love for its bitterest enemies.
The campaign has been of little in
terest to him who has anxiously
watched by the bedside of his dying
wife 'for weeks, and now spends the
lonely vigils of the night sorrowing
over her lifeless remains. Since its
opening he has exhibited more anxiety
in the condition of Mrs. Harrison than
in the prospects of . bis election, and
the White House will never possess
the same attraction for him as it did
when his loved one presided at his re
ceptions. In the deep grief of the ex
ecutive a nation sympathizes with the
eufferer, and, if he has been debarred
by higher duties from devoting that
time and attention to politics that he
otherwise would have done, yet his
friends will stand true to the gra nd
principles of protection which underlie
our national prosperity.
The campaign in the neighboring
state of . Washington is becoming in
teresting, and the candidates in both
parties are charged with crimes which
should be tried in the courts and not
in the columns of the daily and weekly
press. Two of the Seattle papers have
been sued for $100,000 damages each,
and before the election others may
have occasion to prove their charges
before judges and juries. While the
character of any candidate for office is
in a certain measure a subject of criti
cism, it is advisable to keep politics
free from the contaminating influences
of slander. .
Fusion tactics may not be product
ive of perfect harmony in the ranks
of Democrats and Populists. ' We be
lieve there are honest Democrats who
will support the party ticket only, and
not those Populists placed thereon;
and also that there are men in the
People's party who will not vote for
Democrats. These will not be inclined
to shake hands over the bloody chasm
for the sake of office-seekers. Novem
ber 8th,. we are of the opinion, will
dispel many delusive dreams.
Democrats never tire of reiterating
the old, thread-bare accusation that
protection creates trusts, and the lat
ter make the millionaires. There has
been more wealth accumulated by rail
road magnates than by any other class,
and these do not come' under the list
that could be benefitted or injured by
protection legislation. Jay Gould.
Vanderbilt or Henry Villard care lit
tle what economic policy is pursued
by the. nation.
THE GOSPEL OF BEAUTY.
The pulpit of to-day is a great edu
cator even to . those who do not be
lieve in dogmatic religion, and the les
sons taught are frequently such that
can be reduced to practice in every
day life. This truth was made ap
parent by the thought contained in a
sermon preached in this citj last Sun
day morning in the Congregational
church on the refining influence of ihe
beautiful in nature kud art, and un
doubtedly many who heard the dis
course will shape their lives and
actions after the models presented.
There is no fact so apparent to the
observer as that the average Ameri
can thinks and acts too much in the
line of business and does not introduce
enough of the poetry of smiles and
sunshine in his active and short life.
TT ; tn r.loK ft, rlnIJ
lars, and pays little attention to sun
shine or flowera After he is wealthy
if he is ever so fortunate he will
then build a palatial residence and en
joy th poetry of art and nature. Un
like his neighbor, the German or
Frenchman, picnics have few attrac
tions for him, and what there is of
enjoyment he does not possess the
youthful faculties to appreciate.
The poorest may have pleasant and
betutiful homes, if not gorgeous pal
aces, and the home-builder is generally
the home-lover. Flowers are rays of
sunshine in the life of children and
have a beneficial influence on them.
They go into the struggles of life with
more courage than those who are
reared in the midst of dull and gloomy
surroundings. The bleak and forbid
ding appearance of the Puritan home
made the witch-hangers of the
seventeenth century, while the smiling
scenery of other countries produced a
more buoyant and happier people.
But this has changed, and the resident
of New England to-day is as far dif
ferent from his iron-browed ancestor
as if he were descended from a differ
ent race. Art has had its humanizing
influence, and the songs of Longfellow,
Lowell, Whittir and Holmes has
caused a marked transformation in
the people.
; The poet, the painter, the sculptor
anhe architect fulfill a noble pur
pose in their different callings, and
leave the world much better for hav
ing lived in it.' Every person cannot
uurse the sick or prescribe for diseases;
but very many can illuminate the oth
erwise gloomy pathway of others by
rays of sunlight and beauty. Music
hath charms to soothe other than sav
age breasts, and frequently the song
will continue its melody after the
singer is forgotten.
- But it is not so much the study of
art, as its influence upon human ac
tion, that is of practical benefit. If
the daughter can play the latest opera
in perfect time and tune, and is ankmd
to her father and mother and unjust
to her associates, she lacks the princi
pal part of an education.' Parlor po
liteness is very agreeable and places
one at j ease in society, out it tnis is
simply on the surface a veneering
process to cover gross defects his or
her education is a failure. Culture is
commendable to all classes of society;
but it should go deeper than mere
suavity of demeanor. It should make
one better, kinder and considerate of
the feelings of those with whom he
associates, and the gentleman is more
discernible in these acts than in dia
monds, jewelry or expensive clothing,
There can be no objection to the
exercise of taste in personal attire, if
it does not gravitate to vulgar display;
but 'the outward adornment . should
indicate innate refinement
- There should be art, or the effect of
the love of the beautiful in every thing
we do. In cooking it is very neces
sary, and there would be less dyspep
sia and more healthful bloom in the
cheek if some art was displayed in
furnishing the beefsteak for breakfast
or the roast for dinner. We may be
artists in politics, in business, in so
cial intercourse and even in our homes.
Life has not enough poetry and beauty.
and wherever we can throw a streak of
sunshine across the gloomy pathway of
a neighbor, we should not fail to do so.
This is art, and the true object of
culture. . ' i .
The campaign in Oregon on the
part of Republicans is becoming inter
esting enough to suit the desires of our
friends, the enemy. With the facts of
history on which the party stands, its
position is impregnable, and the only
ammunition left to Democrats is sub
terfuge and sophistry. This state is
all right for its former majority for
Harrison, and, after November 8lh,
sha will take her position in the front
rank of the Republican column. All
new commonwealths are attracted to
the party of progress and protection,
as it offers the greatest inducements to
development aid prosperity.
SjiUir Hit! i-i correct in his opin
ion of Wayne Mac Veagh, and every
honest man in both parties will en
dorse the statement that, if Mac Veagh
knew that fraud was committed six
teen years ago in the decision of the
electoral tribunal, he became a party
to the wrong by keeping silent all this
time. Neophytes are always enthusi
astic, and frequently, in their intense
anxiety in upholding new doctrines,
dig the holes in which they fall. Mac
Yeagh has done this, and is no longer
entitled to the respect of Republicans
or Democrats.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Grand Master Workman Powderly
has bat little love for Democracy, and
it is fair to suppose that his followers
have less.
It will be in order, since the fusion
between the Democrats and Populists
in this state, for a general love-feast to
be held, and Gov, Pennoyer and GoL
R. A. Miller to preside.
As the Populists and Democrats
have fused in Oregon, Roork can
make Democratic speeches and Miller
tickle thf People's party ith free-silver
oratioas during the remainder of
the campaign.
Tammany is showing its tricks in
the Democratic campaign this year,
and citizens who delight in honesty
and honor in politics can form a con
ception of the manuer in which affairs
would be managed if that corrupt ring
should dictate the policy of the party
in the future.
We scarcely read an exchange in
this state, since the editorial associa
tion met her?, that has not some kind
word to say about The Dalles and the
necessity of improving the Columbia
river. Our citizens have cast their
bread upon the waters, and it is re
turning to them many fold.
Wayne McVeagh appears to be
doing the principal campaigning for
the Democrats, and his utterances are
published in full in Democratic papers
wnn jauoaiory uumuicms.
it seems
I U fW.A fata nf thaf. nortv nnt. milv t.n
occudv the old camping grounds of
Republicans, but to press into use all
their old worn-out and disgruntled
politicians.
Columbus Day was generally cele
brated throughout the United States
by school children, and on the minds
of those of early years lessons of pat
riotism were inculcated. The republic
will be safe under the management of
the rising generation, and the respect
for the flag and the laws will not be
forgotten when the boys and girls of
to day become men and women.
The saving to the producer since the
state portage has been in operation at
the Cascades has been $2.50 a ton on
wheat and in the same proportion on
other articles. This emphasizes the
importance of the next legislature ap
propriating a sufficient amount for a
portage around the obstructions above
this city, and then the whole of East
ern Oregon would begin to realize the
benefits of an open river.
The fraternity of man has no better
illustration than the messages of con
dolence President Harrison has re
ceived during his great affliction, com
ing as they did from the pope at Rome,
Queen Victoria at Balmoral castle, and
from political opponents at home. It
can almost be said that the dream of
Tennyson in "Lopksley Hall" is being
realized "in the parliament of man and
the federation of the world."
The campaign is becoming. more in
teresting as it nears the end, and Re
publicans are demonstrating the fact
that there is life and activity in the
party when necessary. ' It can point
with pride to its administration of na
tional affairs for the past thirty years,
abd the issues on which it stands dur
ing the present canvas have been dem
onstrated to be sound by many practi
cal tests. Where an organization has
made so much history it is not neces
sary to advocate untried theories.

From Bnenoa Ay res.
New YORK, Oct. 25. The Herald's cor
respondent at Buenos Ayrcs telegraphs that,
at Santiago del Estro, Colonel Turbas, with
force, attacked the governor's house, intend
ing to rescue the Rojas. The chiefs -of the
revolution would not allow the Rojas to be
taken from the house. - They disown any re
sponsibility for the governor's life if the fed
eral government should reinstate him. The
national guard is being assembled, and the
Koquistas are gathering lorces in the states
of Cordova, Entre Louis and Santa Fe, with
the avowed puspose to maintain the Rojas
in office. There is intense excitement, and
bloodshed is feared. Congress refuses to in
terfere as proposed by the executive, and will
do so only if the government maintains the
Rojas in position. This is regarded as a
triumph for the Roca party The situation
is complicated between congress and the cab

but in that case the revolters will kill the Ro

has extended to the province of Corrientes,
where five departments are in revolt Col
onel Moritan, with the Third regiment has
gone to the scene. It is reported at Santiago
del Estro that the revolutionists have received
acquisitions, and had a fight with the national
guards. The result is not known.
The Herald?! correspondent at Ascencion

Attempt to Itestroy a nine.
Boise City, Idaho, Oct. 25. Tim Regan,
the well-known mining man, arrived in Boise
late to-night with a story that will create con
siderable of a sensation in mining circles.
Regan owns a large interest in the Stoddard
mine, one of the famous DeLamar group, the
Stoddard being : located on the apex of the
famous DeLamar lode, that , yields about
$4000 per month. Yesterday morning, five
armed men went into the Stoddard tunnel and
dynamited the - lower workings of the mine.
Regan caught the men in the act and forced
the leader to tell who ordered the dastardly
work performed. ' The man declared that
Captain Plummer, manager of the DeLamar
mine, was the guilty party. Regan . has left
the Stoddard mine in charge of armed send
nels. He will swear .out warrants of arrest
for Plummer and half a dozen others to-night.
The property involved is worth 1,000,000.

GOLDENDALE. Wash.. Oct 25. C R.
Smith, of Kennewick, an engineer of the irri

exploring the headwaters of the Big Klickitat
and elevations at different points, in view of
taking water by the ditch across the Simcoe
mountains to ungate thousands ot acres in
the great Horse Heaven country. 1 he ditch
would have to be about 60 miles long. If the
projectors decide to push the enterprise to
cempletion, it will undoubtedly be one of the
greatest irrigation enterprises in Washington,
and the idle dream of the old settler who used
to herd his drove upon the great domain of
bunchgrass in the Horse Heaven country.

be the result of the transformation.
An Unpleasant Indian.
ROCKFORD, Oct. 25. In a quarrel here
this afternoon, an Indian named Augusta shot
James Watson, a white man, through the left
hand, inflicting a very painful wound. Au-
eusta owed Watson f i? tor digging a well
and came to town this morning with a load of
wheat, saying that he would pay him as soon
as he sold the wheat. Alter selling the grain
he refused to pay over the money unless Wat
son would get him a bottle of whisky, which
he refused to do, wereupon Augusta commen

Colonel Dodds, the French commander, sta

Walla Walla, Wash., Oct. 25 The
commission appointed under the act of
the last congress to examine and report
on the obstructions to navigation in the
Columbia river between Three-mile
rapids and Celilo falls, met in this city
this morning and held a conference with
leadiog citizens. Among others address
ing the commission was Senator Allen.
He was of the opinion that not only
speed should be considered, but also per
oianency. He said that the work should be
of the moit substantial character. Col.
Mendell made minute inquiries in regard
to rights of way that had been secured
by the Columbia River Navigation Com
pany, but nothing definite could be
learned. In answer to a question as to
how long it would take to complete the
work at the Cascades, Lieutenant fturr
stated that it would take two working
seasons, providing the appropriations
were sufficient to keep everything moy

Buffalo, Oct. 25 The switchmen of
tbe country are preparing for a monster
strike next May, expecting to cripple the
world's lair business of tbe railroads, and
to force them to conce de to the demands
of their employes. Secretary Joseph Hei-
merle, of the switchmen's union, said that
it would be a strike tbe like of which

The Democratic party, and certainly
sound Democrats, do not need a set of

from McPberson,' Emporia and Troy to
Robert Swivell, at Harper, after unfold
ing tbe plan to "plug" Simpson, offered
Swivell $3000 to do tbe job, Swivel! is

Salvation Army Wants Honey.
London, Oct 23 A committee, beaded
by tbe Earl of Onslow, to investigate tbe
receipts an J expenditures of the Salva
tion Army, held its first sitting yesterday.
General Booth, bead of tbe Army, has
appealed for. 60,000, to enable him to
continue his "darkest England" work.
He insists that unless this sum is received
before Christmas be will be placed in
position of extreme difficulty, and tbe
further development of bis scheme be
impossible. He asks that all newspapers
publish leaders appealing to tbe public
lor money, as he gava It will be almoit
impossible for the committee to issue a
report for some time, and it is practically
certutu that money will be withheld
pending the report. : It appears from the
appeal that Booth desires to escape from
a dilemma and to abandon bis "darkest

Idtboaehere the Americans.
London, Oct. 26 Iu Trutb, Labou-
cbere expresses himself as thinking it
doubtful whether many Europeans will
visit tbe Chicago fair, end that people of
the leisure class will prefer to visit a
country where no fair is being held. He
says: ''It is certain, however, at the
present moment America in tbe most
prosperous country in tbe worid, despite
our assertions that protection is ruinous.
If I bad been nn American myself, I
should have advocated protection. Tbe
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Tbu protection pudding has proved a
more plentiful meal tor tbe Americans
than free trade provides for us."

Terrible glanahter.
El Paso, Tex., Oct. 37. News of the
annihilation of the Temochian9, a people
who inhabit tbe viliage of Temochic
and who are nearly pure Aztecs, was re
ceived here last evening. Temochic is
on a direct road to Guerrero and Jesus
Maria, in tbe mountains of Southeastern
Cbibuahua, Mexico, and has been in
open rebellion against the state and fed
eral governments more th&o a year on ac
count of the excessive taxation extorted
by government officials and government
interference in their religious belief.
Two months ago the government sent tbe
Eleventh battalion, in command of Gen
eral ( Ranjel, to make the people pay
tbe tax required and accept tbe govern
ment, tbe officials to take charge or kill
every one of tbem. This alternative was
openly boasted of by tbe officers in Chih
uahua beforo tbe troops started for the
town, and when I lie Temochians beard 01
it tbey decided to tight it out, as they
knew, even should tbey receive tbe sol-
diets peaceably, tbey would be shot on
tbe slightest preicnse. When the soldiers
made a descent on tbe village they were
me: and driven off, with two officers and
14 men killed. Two officers and 45 men
were taken prisoners aud placed on top
ot an adobe cburcb. General Kanjel was
the only officer who escaped. vVben tbe
news of this affair reached here, President
Diaz decided to annihilate tbe village.
and when tbe people were notified, tbey
answered : "God la with ns and we can
not be taken." Soldiers left Cbibuahua
two weeks ago and formed a junction
witb others from Pinos Altos and Guer
rero to the number of 1200. Monday an
attack was made 00 all aides Tbe Tem
ochians with their families took refuge
in a church, awaiting tbe attack. It was
made ou all sides and the slaughter was
terrrible. At dusk tbe soldier gained
an entrance to tbe cburcb, and a terrible
band-to-band fight took place. Tbe sol'
diers completed tbe massacre witb 868 of
their nnmber killed and many wounded.
Ihe village tbe next day presented an
awful view. The streets leading to tbe
church were filled with bodies, and blood
seemed to How 10 torrents. Not a man
of tbe Temochians was left, except those
who happened to be out in the moun
tains, but tbe government bad paid
dearly for its victory. Tbe Temochians
were, some time ago, a very wealthy peo
ple in cattle and farms, but lack ot raia
and . failure of their crops bad brought
them to poverty, and tbey were unable
to exist under tbe extortions of tbe gov
ernment and its petty officials, and were
brought near to starvation. Tbey were
very hospitable, and several weeks ago,
when several parties of Americans passed
through from Guerrero to Cbihuabua,
tbey were treated kindly and well cared
for. though tbe government officials ob
jected' to their going, tbey saying tbe
Temochians were bandits. Tbe feeling
against tbe government is very strong,
and tbe incident has been called tbe sec
ond Alamo, which will bring light and
liberty to the Mexican people, as it did
to those ot Texas.
Sews of the franklin Expedition.
Winnipeg, Oct. 27. Kev. E. Young,
Methodist missionary in tbe far north
many years, states be was sent for by an
aged dying Indian some time ago, who
confessed that he accompanied one of tbe
Sir John Franklin reliet expeditious to
the Northern seas. Supplies became
very low, and there was danger of star
vation; Before Dr. Iding returned the
commander sent this Indian and another
across an island to look on tbe other side.
Tbey crossed, and discovered in tbe dis
tance three masts' rising out of the ice
Tbey wete nearly exhausted, .and know
ing that it they told tbe commander ot
their discovery be would go to the place,
decided that it would be better not to
tell bim, for tbey feared tbe starvation of
tbe entire party in tbe event of tbe delay
Accordingly tbey returned and reported
having tound nothing. The next day tbe
expedition started to return.' Tbe Indian
is certain that tbe masts belonged to one
of Franklin s vessels.

CritleiMlng the Parson.
New York Christian Advocate.
A minister of the gospul must be pre
pared to submit to all kinds ot criticisms
from tbe most competent pi-rsons. Com
mittees may at any time appear to con
sider his case. Instances of the compe
tency of two men, both of v;c!th sod in-
fluence, "Shading mi-n," tu determine,
may stir up ministers to greater diligence
and zeal. Oae criticised the minister for
raying, "When A. lam was born," and re
marked to a friend: "Any mn who will
say 'When Adam was born' instead of
'When Adam was crtated' is unfit for bis
position. I call such a remark an t-greg
rious blunder." A committee went to a
distant city to hear a minister, aud when
they returned, in conversing with the
person who bad recommended the afore
said mininer to their notice, one of them
said: "He preached a splendid sermon,
and we were very much pleased witb biiu.
It he only had your physic we should
certainly give him a call." Ministers
will do well to take a hint, and witb all
their getting in the way of understanding,
eloquence, tact and piety, let them get a
good "physic."
