Detroit Free Press.

Tribune A farmer in Washington, Iowa, own- ing property worm zu,wu, was possessed about ten years ago with the idea that he had been commissioned to open a hotel near Jerusalem, and thus become a pioneer in toe work of restoring the Holy City tio its an cient splendor. He claimed to' have had a vision in which the restored city aDPeared to him. -But his wife oppos ed the notion of his going, and when at last he resolved' to depart, they de termined to remain on the farm. He gave them one-half his property, and with $10,UUU startea on nis journey two years ago. In good time he reach ed the Holy Land, and at a point two miles east of the city purchased seve ral acres of land, and there built his hotel, which soon became a popular resort of tourists.

George Alfred Townsend in Cincinnati Enquirer.l Frank Alfriend, who wrote the only life of Jefferson Davis (though Jeff is now writing his own, or his part in the confederacy) said to me to-day. You are mistaken m supposing Judge Thurman can be nominated." Well, ' said 1, "correct the mistake. Who will be ?" "I can show you in two minutes that it must be either Tilden or Hendricks. First, the State of New York Tilden has a sure thing on that to begin' with. He will get all the rotten boroughs that is the anti-Democratic states, New England and the northwest. Bar- num will give him Connecticut again. Kobert McLean and that same old crowd will give him Maryland. Ran som and Vance like him as well aa ever, and can help him in North Caro lina. Harry Watterson will get him Kentucky. He has the very beet pro babilities of securing Mississippi and Alabama, and the same machinery will work the same results. Now, Hendricks is an idol in Tennessee, which went solid for him at tSt Louis. He can carry his own State, Indiana, and work in Pennsylvania with Wal lace's help. There you have it. If Tilden doesn't get enough votes he isn't going to throw the nomination to to any body else except a sufferer in his first campaign Hendricks. His emissaries are already out and doing work." "But," said I, "Thurman is the par ty top, its leader in the Senate, and there he will be surrounded by the men who giye away States." "Now," said Alfriend, "a good many of those Senators call him an old rag. Look at Thompson and the personal squad he has. They say he snuff and sleeps, and has got no get up in him. He's a purer man than Tilden, but that doesn't count in getting delega tions together. I hear," conc'uded Alfriend, "that Bayard considers himself out of the race. George Pendle ton might be brought forward again with advantage; there's nobody ele left." The Fever as a Punishment for Sin. Louisville Courier-Journal It seems strange that the Christians who are now praying for the suffering South, and who almost iavariably refer to the scourge aa a visitation of Di vine wrath, on account of their sins, should never once ?ecall to miud the long train of heavy misfortunes which were visited upon Job, prince of a wealthy people, "who, in all, sinned not, nor charged God loolishly Where is it said that the uprigbt,v be cause of his obedience, shall be ex empt from any of the ills the flesh-is heir to ? .References are made to the wickedness of New Orleans and Mem phis. A daily study of the priminal record of each city would soon' con vince one of the much greater preva lence of crime in other cities. If the scourge had been sent as a punishment for sin, it would never have shown any regard for the isothermal line, but would have swept the whole country. Those who mingle blame so freely with their rjravera for the suffering Sonth but illustrate certain characteristics of human nature so ably set torth in the scriptural account of Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar'Job's comforters, of whom it wassaid : "Oh, that ye would alto gether hold your peace, and it should be your wisdom." The ways of the Eternal are past finding out. "He de stroyed the perfect and the wicked. If the scourge slay quickly he will laugltafe the trial of the innocent." Let us try, if possible, to extend to the af flicted our pity, unmingled with fault finding or reproof. . The Last of the Staff, New York Sun.J Landeum In Memphis, Tenn, Sept 12, Henry Landrum, local editor of the Avalanche, the last of the staff. "The last "of the staff." What a sto ry is toW in those five words I Young Landrum we believe he was little more than a boy saw his associates fall, one by one, by his side ; but still he stood at his post, as true a herd- as any soldier who ever joined in a "forr lorn hope" charge -upon the enemy's batteries. He was worthy of his editor-in-chief; the lamented Thompson, who, knowing that the fever was upon him, insisted that no word should be sent to his wife whom he had hurried to a place of safety, and faced death alone rather than risk a life dearer to him than his own. The courage and devo tion shown by. clergymen, the sisters of the religious orders, physicians and nurses in the feverrstricken cities are above all praise ; but many an obscure newspaper man and many an under paid telegraph operator have shown themselves equally courageous and de voted. The Ungrateful Tramp. From the Eastman (3a) Times. It was a widow of sixty in an adjoin ing county who allowed a tramp to stop over for the night. During the evening the tramp became desperate ly smitten, courted, and finally address ed the widow. She consented to mar ry him, and it was arranged j that the two, should proceed ,to. the parson's, who lived but a short distance, the next morning, which they did. They had no license, .nor did they dream that such ah instrument was necessary until they were so informed by the parson. The lady loaned her betrothed a horse, $2 or $3 in cash, and gave him a $15 order to a merchant with which to buy some clothes, and off he goes to tmn fWr the Hnenae. having, borrowed a saddle and perhaps a bridle from the minister.
