The summer rose the s on has lushed
With crimson glory m. V be sweet;
'TIs sweeter when the le; wes are crushed
Beneath the winds and tempest's feet
The rose that waves upon i'ts tree
In life sheds perfume all wound;
More sweet the perfume floa.'s to me

The waving rose with every breath
Scents carelessly the summer 'air;
The wounded rose breathes forth Its death
Its sweetness far more rich and rare.
It Is a truth beyond our ken.
And yet a truth which all may read
It Is with roses as with men,
The sweetest hearts are those that bleed.
The flower which Bethlehem saw bloom
Out of a heart all full of grace,
Gave never forth its full perfume
Until the cross became its base.

An Unconverted ministry.
Tannage's Sunday Sermon.
Having traced the ruined life of the
brilliant Aaron Burr from his turning
aside from religious truth in his
collegiate days, the preacher said that
after all the greatest obstacle to revi
vals throughout Christendom is an un
converted ministry. Many preachers
of the Gospel, he averred, had confessed
that their hearts had not been changed,
and how they got into the ministry he
could not conjecture. Perhaps they
fancied it to be a respectable business.
Then he went on to say that with the
existing ministry ministers quarrell
ing and ministers trying to pull each
other down we shall have no revivals.
I could prove arithmetically the as
tounding proposition that without revi
vals Christianity would ere long be
come extinct. We talk a greatjfleal
about the world's redemption. One
man says it may be effected in fifty
years. Do you propose to let two gen
erations pass off the earth unredeemed ?
The Church of Jesus Christ cannot con
sent to it. If every Christian would
bring another, the whole world could
be saved in ten years. The hook and
line plan, catching one here and an
other there, won't do it. It must be
done by the great net. Dr. Talmage
said, in closing, that it seemed to him
that God is preparing the world for
some great event. A celebrated elec
trician recently showed him a map of
the telegraph a network of wires all
converging in London and New York.
The telegraph was not invented merely
to give us the latest quotations for flour
or to tell us which horse won the Der
by. Morse, Field and Orton
were old-fashioned Christians.
Their telegraph was' invented to bring
the world to God ; and what beqpmes
of the world after that I care not. It
will have suffered and achieved enough
for one world. Lay it up in the dry
docks of eternity like ian old man-of-war
gone out of service, or fit it up like
the Constellation to carry bread of re
lief to some other suffering planet. Or
let it be demolished. Farewell, dear
old world, that began with paradise
and ended with judgment, conflagra
tion! Keogh's Ca,lculation
Washington Letter.
As I met the Hon. Tom Keogh, secre
tary of the national committee, I asked
him : "When will you set up your shop
for the campaign ?
"I go to Chicago next week, and will
open an office there, where we will run
the campaign till after the convention.
Then I will go to New York and open
the headquarters. The office is always
there, you know, during the presidential
campaign."
"Well, how does the contest look to
you?"
"I think that Grant will be nominat
ed beyond the possibility of a doubt."
"You are daily associated with Don
Cameron. What are his opinions ?"
"He has never doubted but that Grant
would be nominated by acclamation." .
"What figures have you for first bal
lot?" "I do not give Grant any in New
England ; then out of that section I
give him over 430 New York 70, Penn
sylvania 58, Illinois 42, Missouri 30,
Kentucky 24, Tennessee 16, North Caro
lina 18, Virginia 22, South Carolina 14,
Florida 4, Georgia 12, Alabama 10, Mis
sissippi 10, Arkansas 12, New Jersey 6,
Delaware 6, Maryland 4, Nevada, 6.
Colorado 6, Nebraska 6, Wisconsin 8,
Texas 16, and some 30 scattering votes
drawn from Indiana, Michigan and the
Pacific coast."
"Are these figures relied on by the
Grant leaders ?"
"They are, and they are substantially
correct. Ob, Grant cannot be defeat
ed." "But will the unit rule be broken ?"
"Don Cameron says that in Pennsyl
vania it will not be, and as that is the
worst State we have to deal with, I rea
son that there will not be much trouble
about it."
A Pennsylvania Prize Fight.
A brutal prize fight took place Fri
day, near Scranton, Pa., between two
young nen of that city, Dave Richards
and Tom Thomas. The third round was
fiercely fought, and ended in both fall
ing heavily to the ground and pummel
ing each other vigorously where they
lay until picked up by their seconds.
Their faces were badly disfigured on
coming to the scratch for the next
round. At this stage the wife of
Richards appeared upon the scene with
her sleeves rolled high up on her arms,
and, breaking through the crowd, 8he
forced her way Into the ring and ex
claimed, "Go for him, Dave, my boy !"
The result of this encouraging word
was that Dave's antagonist fell, with
the blood gushing from his mouth
At the end of the twenty seventh round
the combatants, who were scarcely able
to stand, were seperated by their friends
in the crowd. Richards appeared to
have the best of it, althought it was
declared a drawn battle and will have
to be fought out again at an early date.
The stakes were said to be 3100 a side.
The fight was witnessed by one;
thousand spectators, including men
bers of the police and select coun
cil. .

TU BILLING SCENE IN A THEATRE
A Alanine Rushes Upon the St&fe,
Kill a man with a Hatchet and ia
Himself Shot to Death.
London Telegraph.
A terrible scene took place in the Tea
trodelCirco, at Madrid, a few days
ago. DurinJthe performance a mad
man forcedjjas way into the house,
armed withja, hatchet, and contrived to
climb from the auditorium upon the
stage, wliere, bradishing his Weapon
furiously, be announced himself to the
terrified audience as "the Avenger of
Mankind." lpon one of theattendants
approaching him with the object of per
suading him to withdraw from the
stage, be smote the unfortunate man
to the earth with one deadly blow ; and
he managed to keep the police, off, when
they attempted to arrest him, by whirl
ing his hatchet round his head with
such force and swiftness that none of
the aerents of authority dared to rush in
upon him. Presently, however, a party
oiBoldiers made their appearance in
the threatre, under the command of an
officer, who summoned the raging
aaniae to give up his weapon and sur
render himself, but in vain ; whereupon
the detachment received orders to fire
at him with blank cartridge, in 'the
hope of frightening him into submis
sion. All this while, he was yelling at
the top of his voice, flourishing his
hatchet, and threatening to kill any
body who should approach him. Re
cognizing the impossibility of over
powering him without risking Uic sol
diers' lives, the officer in command gaye
the order to load with ball and fire ui.
on hijn. A minute later the wretcht d
man lay a corpse upon the stage, three
bullets having passed through his head,
and this highly sensational dramatic
episode having been thus brought to a
close the audience returned to their
places, from which they had fled-in ter
ror when the madman made his first
and last appearance upon the stage,
and the evening's performances were
resumed at the point at which they had
been interrupted by "Mankind's Aven
ger." A Quaker iriarrlag-t: An Interesting'
Ceremony.
O.eensboro Fat lot.
A marriage took place at New Gar
den, Friends meeting house, in this
county on last Wadnesday between
Rev. Ruius R. King, of Spiceland, Indi
ana, and Miss Alice R. Carr, of Guilford
county. As many of our readers have
never witnessed such ceremonies we
will give an account of their proceed
ure. It is known to most people that
the Friends hold two religious services
each week ; one on Sunday at or about
11 o'clock, a. m., the other in mid-week
at the same time of day. At these mid
week meetings twice a month they
transact the business of their respec
tive churches ; one is called "Prepara
tive Meeting," which is held one week
in advance of the other, which is called
"Monthly Meeting."
The paities desiring to proceed in
marriage inform the Preparative Meet
ing, of which the woman is a member,
which shall forward the proposition to
the ensuing Monthly Meeting, and if no
obstruction appears, the parties are left
at liberty to accomplish their marriage,
according to the rules of the Society.
This all having been gone through
with, last Wednesday quite a large au
dinence met to witness the marriage.
Meeting convened at the usual hour ;
the first seat in front of where the Min
isters and Elders usually sat was left
vacant. After a very impressive sermon
was delivered by James Jones and the
usual hour for worship had half expir
ed, the bride and groom and four atten
dants entered the church and occupied
the reserved seat facing the audience.
After a few minutes silence, the over
seer of the meeting announced that it
was now the proper time for the solem
nization of the marriage, when the
couple and their attendants stood up
and taking each other by the right hand,
Mr. King plainly and distinctly said:
"In the presence of the Lord, and before
this assembly, I take Alice R. Carr to
be my wife ; promising, with Divine as
sistance, to be unto her a loving and
faithful husband, until death shall sep
erate us." Miss Carr then repeated the
same, and all were seated. The clerk
of the monthly meeting then arose and
read the marriage certificate, to which
the bride and groom affixed their names.
After the close of the meeting the near
friends and relatives signed the certifi
cate as witnesses.
Snperrikon of Election.
Cor. Baltimore Sun.
Washington, May 10 A bill in re
ference to the term of office of chief
supervisors of election is now on the
calendar of the Senate and will be call
ed up at the first convenient opportuni
ty. Under the existing statutes the
chief supervisors have a permanent ten
ure, and it is considered that this is
not a wholesome provision. The bill
vacates the term of each supervisor,
and provides that hereafter they shall
serve for two years. It also takes the
appointment from the United States
circuit judges and vests it in the Presi
dent; subject to confirmation by the
Senate. The effect of the bill will be to
terminate the functions of such un
scrupulous and. dishonest partisans as
Johnny Davenport, in New York, and
to put all supervisors on their good be
havior by the conciousness that they
will be subject to removal at the end of
every two years. !
The First Colored Juror Cor the City of
Baltimore
Baltimore, May 12. Among the
jurors selected yesterday for the May
term of the city and State courts were
two colored men, being the first time
that men of color have been put on
juries in the city courts. One, James
A. Harris, was drawn on the' petit jury
of the criminal court, and the other,
Wm. L. Vessells, on the city court jury.
Harris is a well-known caterer, and
Vessells a porter in a store. The latter,
on being accepted as a juryman, re
marked that he felt a pride in being the
first man of his race to serve on a jury
in that court, and that he would pre
serve the summons to hand down to his
children. In the United States courts
in the city colored men have served on
the juries for several years.
A Dead Give-Away.
Mr. Gladstone's., spoils of war by his
late victory are enough to make an

The: lord-lieutenant of Ireland gets
$100,000 a year, the lord chancellor $50,

there are eleven Other offices, the salary;
of which exceeds $20,000 each. SevetttJ

and sixteen between $5,000 and $10,00D4
The minor offices range ;frdrri$4Vr75 to
