C'l'LLI'lUKA. 1,000 yards of calico, best quality at 8 cents por yard, P. llosaiibeig A Co. What An Iowa Editor Mays. Shenandoah, Iowa Sentinel. The Sentinel has stated repeatedly that we believe in the Alliance principles in the main as taught l>y the Iowa Alliance, of which Bingham Alliance No. 1S20 is a part. In accordance with the teachings of the leaders in the Alliance we have recommended to the republican members of the Alliance to attend the caucuses and conventions of the republican party and to use their influence In the election of delegates and nomination of ?andidates fnvorablo to their interests, and have recommended to democratic members of the Alliance to use their influence in a similar manner upon the democratic party. Saturday evening, June 20, just after the republican caucuses had been held in the various townships of the county, IJinghnin Alliance passed a set of resolutions for publication stating that its membership was composed of twice as many republicans as democrats and that they viewed with suspicion certain candidates proposed. Now, of course, these i;entleinen who passed thoseresolutions know whether they are republicans or not. We shall not question their word. But wo certainly think that as j republicans they railed in their duty in not Utendlng the republican caucuses three) hours before ; and as Alliance men they failid in their du ty in not making their influmicc felt at the caucuses, for we are informed Lhat but one metuhor ol the Alliance attended th<; caucus in Morton township, though Held in the very school house where the .res>1111 ion was passed a few hours later. Men tvlio take as much interest in politics as the nembi'i's of llinghain Alliance and who .Maim to be republicans ought to attend the 'epuhllcan caucuses. 'MIy iheir works ye hall km>w them" Is as true to-day as of old. l'he republican party in this county and in he State has invited these Alliance republicans to come into the councils of the party ind tell who and what they want and have promised t ? urant them almost anything consistent with republicanism. The party draws he line upon these who persistently and reicatedly vote against and work against the ariy. .Such men are not republicans, no natter what tliey claim, and they have no iglit to dictate to or to ask favors of the relublican party. There arc conservative men ii the Itingham Alliance and tiictc are c.\rcmists, republicans, democrats and third iarty men. There are rkai. republicans lid others who claim to be repulicans and at he same time oppose candidates and the ilatforin of the party and vote against il. .'his Is not the best way, in our opinion, to ecure reiorms. The way to do is to attend tie caucuses and the primary elections and lelp sliap the policy of the party and nomilate its di-legates and candidates, in the gricitl tural state like this the Alliance re tllUllCilllS I'llII SITUIU itllj llllllK II1VJ n??>. liat is in linrmouy with republicanism. By <>tin< the democrat ic ticket they will defeat he rtymblican parly: by voting the third >arty tleket they will make success unceraiu; hy working with the republicans they an help make the platform, can name the amiidates for state officers and for the legisative ollicers in four-tilths of the counties, 'he Alliance republicans in most places In he State are doing this ami we regret that lie "two to one republicans" In the Bingham Ulianco did not turn out to the republican aucus in their own lodge room. Had they lone so their resolutions would have had a letter iiilluence. We do not by this article nean to criticise the delegates chosen from ilorton township to the county convention, "hey were uood men, but it would be more live live for men to show their republicansin by attending the caucus than by a resoution immediately after a caucus in which hey took no part.

Tlie Xejjro and the Mule that Made the Perilous Venture ol' Falling Thirty Feet Into the River. Some time a^o Messrs. I^yon, Brown Jt Bradley took a contract to rebuild l'ettigru's bridge. The bridge, besides abutments, cousists of one span o I 120 feet across the stream. It was thought the old timbers would answer the purpose.and they were nut In. The bridge was thirty feet above the water. In a few days niter the brldne was llnishcd, and before It was received by the Commissioners, a negro riding a mule went 011 it, when it fell, mixing bridge timbers, mule and negro in the water. Nobody was hurt, except the contractors. and it is hoped that they are not se rlously injured in the pocket. They urn now rebuilding the bridge with new timbers, under si new contract. When it is finished we trust that the contractors, officers, and tlie travelling public may be sate in person and pocket. QUARTETT OF MEDDLESOME OUTSIDERS. o Will llio.v ?'

We venture the statement that hut comparatively few people, including Christians, are capable of estimating the extent of tiie deeeitfulness of sin. Those who make the nearest approach to such an estimate'are not only deeply spiritual Christians, but have had a long experience in the war are between sin and holiness as waged in their own hearts, and alsob?.ve a profound and extensive knowledge of hu111:111 nature, particularly human nature as it resides in themselves. Unless a person has a very minute and accurate knowledge of himself under every variety of conditions and eirr*nmstnnpp?. he is iioorlv aualified to judge of the deceitful ness of sin. This thorough self-knowledge cannot be had in early life; nor can it be had when one lias been a genuine Christian five years, unless he was not converted till lie reached middle age: and it is very doubtful if he have it even ! (hen. Of course it largely depends ' upun the depth and strength of his inward vision, and the degree of his self-honesty. Hut in every case it requires years of thorough and selfserutini/.ing experience if one would know how deceitful sin is. Many a man nus been warning others of their immediate danger being fatally stricken by a certain contagious disease, little dreaming that he himself was in the subtle grasp of the same sickness while in the very act of signaling to others. The seeds of the disease were already within him, and yet he knew it not. When we are elated with the idea that we are uu? > 1 ..u h.wl I I'WJllllMJli iy uuuu, itb no uw h uiv. what we call personal goodness be but ! 1 ittlo better than a self-satisfying hallucination which is produced by the deceit I'u In ess of some phase of sin. "Let him that thinketh lie standeth take heed lest he fall!" When we showed Cardinal Gibbons the Constitution of the Christian Arbitration and Peace Society he refused to sign it, because he said if he did he could not give the soldiers absolution. Now if war is right why should not Catholic priests make as good soldiers as any one else? The French Government have come to this conclusion, and have lately so changed their laws that all thestudents of the Ecclesiastical Seminaries have to do military service. The Roman Catholic Church has, till now, been bought oil' by not having its students to serve, but that day is over. Kcv. Mr. Mcliale has returned to ISaltimore after a summer trip, and, says The lialtimorc American reporter : What struck him forcibly in France) ' u- *1.^1 was llie injustice uuu cruelty ui mc now military law, which imposed a service in the barracks like all the other ordinary soldiers on students in j ihe ecclesiastical seminaries. It was a | frightfully demoralizing experience for these young men, but no doubt they would also be given extraordinary graces to oll'set it. To an American eye it seemed a most wanton and unnecessary curbing of the liberty of the church and the citizen. Now is a Cotholic student any better than a watchmaker's son, or a farmer's son, or the only son of a widow, or the sons of thousands ? Yet these "sons" have to go oil' for service, and bo subject to the horrible temptations of camp life, which are ruining the whole French nation, and the Catholic priests don't raise a single voice against itas a Church. God grant ! that all the Christians shall be made J to feel the whip of this sin till they are willing to cry out against it, and | testify that it is all contrary to Christ, teaching. There is no reason that the (students at a Catholic college should I be exempt. They uphold war, and should fully understand it from experience. Cynicism is n false witness ; and if it does not greatly wrong any one of our fellownien, it injures both society and the cynic. If he is of a coarse fiber, it excuses him to himself in becoming the hard and unloving creature which lie fancies that all men are. If he is too proud or too self-respecting to yield to this temptation, it isolates him, it chills and withers his sympathies for people quite as good as himself, whom he thinks of as the herd. As for the more flagrant sins, so for this, the remedy is love. Love sympathizes, makes allowance for frailty, discovers the germs of good, "hopeth all things," taketh not account of evil. One of the most valuable secrets of successful lif:j is the ability to work without worry. "J)o the very best you can and leave the rest to Providence," is given as the motto of one man who has risen to great prominence and power in our country. This is not a la/.y man's motto; it means that we shall put all the disciplined energy of our life into whatever wo are doing for the moment, deciding promptly, working swiftly, then fretting, even if it appears later thai our decision was not the wisest that migil have been made.?Westminister Teacher. The reason some people "love at lir.-t sight" is because they don't know each other then. A minister used to preaen me same senuon (on (lie "Ten Virgins") .year after year. An old clerical friend nave him a pretty strong hint to ehoose :t fresh subject by expressing his li-*lit I" that "his ten virgins must now he pretty aulil maids!" A good man is a man who is good to lis, and u bad man i> a man who doesn't do what we want him to. 'When I was a yoismr man I was sure of everything; I mi t in a few years, finding myself mistaken in a t hoii<ami instances, I became not half so sure of most things as before. The world breaks the hearts of its best benefactors, and then, after many (lays, builds them sepulchres.

In the fall the Father purposed salvation as indicated in his sentence on the serpent in the garden : "It," the seed of the woman, "shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." this purpose was the "mystery" of the age until it was revealed by the Father sending "forth his Son" who "came into the world to save sinners."

The leather "so loved the world that he gave ins only begotten hon, tnat wnosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." "Thus it is written, anil thus it behooved Christ to sutler, and to rise from the dead the third day : and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Christ having accomplished his mission and liaviug ascended to the right hand of the Majesty on high, was invested with all power in heaven and in earth, the formal ceremony being declared by the Father : "Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy foot stool." According to his own promise Christ sent the Comforter to reprove the world of din, and of righteousness, and of judgment, also to change and purify the heart of every one that manifests repentance toward God and exercises, faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ, and to give peace. Thus is salvation in its devisement l>y the Father, in its execution bv the Sod, in its readiness of application by the Spirit freely given, on condition that "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Jiut to call on the name of the Lord nccrsmrity implies belief in him 011 whom they call; and belief in liim on whom they cull neccxmrily implies that they have heard of him in whom they believe; and (o hear of him in whom they believe they must necessarily have some one to tench them? a speaker, or "preacher," vho shall speak to them the word of God, and thushave faith to "come" to them that hear. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Teaching, hearing, believing, calling, Salvation. Aii Editor Murdered. Mr. J. J).

This editor may not be as careful in the matter of credits as some would like. We read some years ago of a man who was so punctilious about giving credit, that in "saying grace" at the table 011 a certain occasion he so framed the ceremony as to include, "according to a recent issue of the Westminister Keview." What went before the the "credit" or what followed we have forgotten. A book compled from the "Grains" in the several copies of the Christian Neighbor would be a good book for the "common people."

BY JOHN HEMMEKWAY. It is said by the admirers of Shakspeare, "he pictures nature as it is." Alas for poor fallen human natnre! the fewer pictures we have of it in its degraded condition the better. What person of pure delicate moral perceptions, wishes to see portrayed, though it ue none wiui wuiiuiuua ui description, scenes of low, coarse vulgarity, profanity, blasphemy, lewdness, adultery, drunken revelry, treachery, murder, and all other forms of crime, sin and folly, in all their disgusting and horrid varietiesfor the opportunity of gazing on vile human nature as it is. There is but one infallible standard of honesty in trade and that is the Christian standard as taught by Christ "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Samson the man of vengeance. Stephen the man of forgiveness. The fewer Samsons and the oiore Stephens the world has the better. One peaceful, non-resisting Stephen is worth more for the honor of Christianity than a million fighting Samsons. All will go well with tlie Christian from clay to day, inwardly, if not outwardly, if he keeps, by the help of God, a watchful, prayerful spirit. If the wicked Ahab had sinned such sins as David did, "in the matter of Uriah," he would have been a little sinner in comparison with David?the greater the saint the greater the sinner. There is great reason to believe that the reason why there is so little interest among professed Christians in general throughout the world, to prevent war, is because they have so little of the peaceable and meek spirit of Christ, as the Prince of Peace, as a living power in their own souls. There are many bad omissions in this world among mankind, but the worst of all omissions is to omit to do good. Admiration of the character of God, in His wisdom, power, greatness and glory is not love to Him.

(New York Christian Advocate.) 1 A JUDICIOUS WARMING.?The Critio 1 warns young men who take up the *ja| profession of authorship with serious ' ^ intent to be careful how they cultivate the friendship of writers for the press. Injudicious paragraphing does incalculable harm. "It gives the person J paragraphed an overweening estimate fl of his own importance, and it prejudices conservative editors and publishers againest him. J This is a much-needed admonition. J Any criticism from a responsible Wlvi source is not more to be dreaded than fnlanmo nr?Qicn Tl^ aomo la frilA of ministers; the young minister who has ^ not learned to estimate newspaper praise at its real worth is delighted -2^ when he sees his name in print, his eloquence praised, and even his j personal appearance and voice made the subject of flattery. From that time, unless he is more sagacious than many, ; he will be unable to preach without j thinking how his sentences would '<&& read in a report. If he is not mentioned again for several months he will be disappointed, and likely to seek by '?s| sensational methods to get himself referred to once more. He may take to j denouncing the Church, speak slightingly of ministers, or insinuate doctrines contrary to those of the Church /|| in which he is connected, in order to Jig attract notice.

You may usually judge of the ^ fairness and fineness of a man's character by noticing the way ia ;"||1 which he estimates the labors of his fellow-men.

''$ig Some people can trust God as long as they have plenty of money, but when the bank breaks their all goes with it. 4 It is harder than he who has never made the effort might imagine silently ~; to return with love the hatred with which our love has been required. When we do any thing for God, the very least thing, we never know where it will end, nor what amount of work it will do for him. Manners are the shadows of virtues, the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow-creatures love and respect. God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please, you can never have both. It is often better to have a great deal 1.3 of harm to happen to one thau a little; a great deal may arouse you to remove what a little will only accustom you to endure. A lady wrote to an editor for a receipt for pies, and the editor replied that fie would send the receipt as soon as he received the pies. Perhaps to suffer is nothing else than tn Invp more deenlv. Love and sorrow are the two conditions of a profound life. One of the saddest things about hu man nature is, that a man may guide others in the way of life without walking in it himself; that he may be a pilot and yet a castaway. Repentauce of a general sort is not 3 worth the while. If you will regret your sins, brag out your own particular wrong-doing and look at it.

What comfort there^sin the thought that, although God could not depend on us, we can always depend on Him, and that, although He could always get on without us, He is willing to make use of us when we are ready to stand in His strength, and that he does not dispear of us, even when we despair of Him ! It was because Christ humbled himself in taking human nature, and being obedient to the death of the cross, that "God highly exalted him, and gave unto him a name which is above every name." The greatest man, the noblest man is he who is most of a servant. One must not be too proud to accept helpful service of the liumblest. There is a general impression among farmers that corn is the very best feed a nog can nave, particularly ior rattening purposes. But there can be too much of a good thing, corn as well as anything else. A hog will be true to name, and any member of the swine herd will eat more corn or corn meal (if he can get it) than will be digested. It is an erroneous idea that a hog should be fed exclusively on corn, even when fattening. Succulent food is also necessary. If a hog has a good pasture it will be ready for the scalding tub just as soon, and half the corn commonly fed will suffice. It is i high time the old style of fat pork were done away with. It is neither profitable nor healthful. Nice, juicy muscle or lean meat is altogether the most desirable.
