The papers tell us that Henry.M.
Stanley has taken back to England
with him upwards of $100,000 in
good American equivalents, but we
have yet to hear of his having hunt-
ed up any of hi* comrads in arms to
pay them back their money which
~he decamped with when he deserted
the Confederate service in Arkansas.
It is announced from Washington
that Secretary Foster is about to
turn loose some $5^,000,000 of
small coin which has been accumi-
lating in the treasury* vaults many
years, in ord^r "to aid the business
interest of thte country." When a
man's, roll gives out , he is compelled
to rake together his small change..
Probably this is the trouble with the
government. The republicans have
about depleted the treasury and are
now goihg for the nickels and dimes.
During the progress of' the dis-
trict convention of the W. C. T. U
at Fort Worth a iew days ago,
"The Dignity of Labor" was taken
up for discussion, and it eventuated,
says the Mail, in a concentrated
ptea that some method should be
devised to make the working women
see and «appreciate the dignity of
kitchen labor. It was "deeply de-
plored" that the average girl would
rather earn a living as clerk in a
store to the "honorable position" of
cook for some fine lady., a W. C.
T. U. lady for instance; They
deemed it highly essential to the
success of the propbsed reform that
the-young ladies should be impress-
ed with the idea tl^at men selecting
wives prefer the experienced kitchen
workers, to the genteel girl who has
the business qualification for selling
goods in a dry. goods store. It is
barely possible that when the young
men prefer to court kitchen girls,
the girls will quit the stores and hire
out as cooks, but we would suggest
to the W. C. T. jj. ladies that they
commence mak cooking attrac-
tive to the young ladies by paying
them as good wages tor kitchen ser-
vice as thS dry goods merchants do
for their services as salesladies; and
they might gp a step further and see
to it, that so far as they are con-
cerned their servants in the kitchen
are placed at least on the same
social level as the girls who do duty
behind the counter. Cooking should
be as wo^hy an occupation as sell-
ing dry* goods, and if the girls do
not so consider it it is the fault of
tfie ladies who employ them; But
when these W. C. T. U. ladies say
that yonng women behind the
counter "are subject to insjults of
every character while in the house,
ar.d from low-minded men while
going to and from? labor" the
Gazetteer muit enter its protest.
This is the language attributed "to
them, by the Slail, bnt thereT must
be some mistake. The Gazetteer
cannot believe that the W. C.;T. U.
| ladies would tell a falsehood even
to exalt the calling of doing kitchen
work'over that of measuring ribbon
and tape ; neither does . the Gazet-
teer believe lady clerks are subject
to insults in the stores or on the

Th/ee our worthy commission-
ers, M®ssrs. Haven,* Weems and
Sanders, went to Georgetown, Tex-
as, last week, with a view of in-
specting the record-tooms for fire-
proof protection in that county.
We hope this is the first step toward
a large and commodious record-
room or rooms at ^herman, for the
protection ot our valuable records
from fire; such an irivestment would
certainly meet the approval of Gray-
son county tax-payers.
That we have been singularly
fortunate in the preservation ot
these valuable archives, there is no
question, as we are informed that
there are but three counties in the
State of Texas, viz. Grayson, Col-
, lin and Cass (which have been
■organized for more than fifteen
"years) that have not met with some
accident b^_-wbichTTpart at least of
their records have been destroyed.
Our District and Probate records at
Sherman, which embrace titles to
over one-half of our real estate in
this county, through wills, judg-
ments, decrees and the different
courts of administration, etc/, are
liable to be burned at- any time, thQs1-
entailing a loss on our citizens,
which would be irreparable.
We learn trom Mr. H. Tone that
petitions are now, or were last terrn^
before the legislature from Tarrant
county, begging them to legalize an
abstract which was not entirely com-
plete at the time of the burning of
their records fourteen or fifteen
years ago. Many citizens of our
county will remember jhat at that
time Fort Worth had mariy advan-
tages over Dallas, naturally and
geographically, for the building up
of a large city, but when the fire
destroyed their records, capital be-
ing timid and not wishing to invest
without a perfect titlev tto-tide ot
prosperity drifted eastward tu Dal-
las, where the -records are, and
always have been, the first thought
of the county officials. The result
is that tht difference in assessed
valuation over Tarrant county to-
day is aboit twenty millions pf dol-
lars. While the Gazetteer has
no official power in this matter, vet
it feels thi there should be no delay
in providiig the needed fire protec-
tion. The assessed Valuation of our
.co'finty iY>w is fiftejen millions of
dollars, md any suth ranging from
twenty-fve, td fifty thousand dollars,
would he well spent, if projection
could be secured.

Lecture on "A Religion Founded Upon
Moral Science."
^ Mangasar Mangasarian, professor
of ethics in Felix Adier's Ethical
Society, New York gave the second
lecture in the "Religious Progress"
course at Horticultural Hall, yester-
day afternoon.
Prof. Mangasarian is a great fa-
vorite in New York, and fills Chick-
ering Hall whenever he >is advertis-
ed to speak. His theme. yesterday
"A Religion Founded LTpon Moral
Scieuce," and his discussion of it
realized all that his fame had prom-
ised.'He is not an Americah by birth,
nut speaks English ' perfectly, his
slight Oriental^ accents being rather
attractive than otherwise. His pol-
ished and scholarly address was
rendered doubly effective by its
graceful delivery.
"To many ears," he saidV'relig-
ion has an unwelcome sound." I
is made to- cover a multitude of
crude ideas and barbarous pr«ctices.
Many have' lost their respect for the
institution Because it has been a hot-
bed of superstition. They look up-
on religion as a snare aujd a delu-
sion. !
"But if we rise above superstition
we will find that religion is a thing
of beauty. It is true that, in some
minds, religion has stood for intoler-
ance and dogma, but to others it
has stood for reverence, love, devo-
tion to the good of mankind. The
fetich of the African, the idol of the
Hindoo, the' Christ of the Christain,
the deity of the theist, are
ali. types q>k a cenerai
Religion gives birth to morality,
and morality in full bloom is re-
ligion.j
"The theological foundations of
religion are passing away. The
disintegration has commenced. In
France the peasants believe as little
as the philosophers in the old-time
faiths; in Germany the bonds ot old
creeds are loosening; in England
and America men are demanding
better things; even Calvinism, the
most logical ot all creeds, is sofl>
erting under the rising sun or a new
religious era.
"This is par excel|ence,;the scien-
tific, age. The aim of science is to
tell the truth ; the aim of theology to
formulate a dogma. Science is dis-
interested ; it does not care whether
its views are accepted or not. The-
ology is interested to have men adopt
its faith ; it sends men to the ends of
the earth to win pien to its position.
Science is impersonal; no one cab
tell from the law of gravitation what
kind of a man Newton was. But
theology is the mirror of the mind
that formulates its creeds. Science
is willing to change its views; it does
not worship the past. Theology
worships the past and . holds to its
utterances ift face of facts to the con-
trary. Science can say 'I guess,'
'I have nqt yet found out,' 'I hope.'
Theology ijs always absolutely cer-
taian of its utterance, and it places
what it. knows and what it nope* in
the same category. There is more
real religion ih honest doubt than in
blind credulity.
About 20 yjears ago the Vatican
council declarjed that he who be-
lieves a cre^d does so be | be-
cause devine authority has
declared it to be true. The Jesuit
who went to India to preach to
the Hindoo wjas asked to show his
proofs. He replied: You should
know what pleisure it is to believe a
thing that is ^btftrd.
The speake|- related now, when a
youth, he wasjonce terrified in Lon-
don by receiving a tract headed.
"turn or rl'rs."
It was written by Rev. Mr. Spur-
geon. He would now say to the
eminent preachers. ' How can I
believe ? I do nof disbelieve be-
cause I want to be wicked, but be-
cause 1 cannot accept what I do not
understand." W
"Dogma," he contmued, "always
makes men intolerant. If I were
sure that I were! right and that all
the rest of mankind were wrong,
what would I not do to bring men
to my way'of thinking?" How can a
Catholic let his child read the Pro-
testant Bible when he teels that the
act displeases God? How can a
Protestant allow his child to read
the wo^ks of Voltaire, when he be-
lieves they will corrupt his mind?
"The onl^ reason the modern
church is mor!e tolerant than that of
the middle aets is because it is honey-
combed by scientific teaching. The
nioment a religion begins to be tol-
erant, it begihs to die. Science has
made religion more tolerant, less
dogmatic, lesls proud, less arrogant.
"Science, 4p the last place, has
--taught the va|ue ot an upright life.
Religion mu^t make its peace with-
-fnoriality. If; we do not extend the
clenched hanid in menace tp those
who disagree with us, it is because
science has taught us. to extend-4he
japen pafrh of friendship. If we do
less forjbe gtary of God, it is be-
cause ^emUst do more for the hap-
piness oTj5)en. If we do not sing
jbngjiyains,; it is because we must
lift up trie head of the sorrowful and
moisten the hps of the suffering.
"Make vour own religion founded
on moral science. Fashion it to

, The Gazettrkr would remind the
Whitesboro News that the question of the
legality of a city ordinance providing for
the punishment of boys tor indulging-in
the pastime of playing maibl^s or even
ball on Sundays is a question of law,-not
religious sentiment, and its volunteered
information that this paper "believes in
the abolition of churches, closed saloons
and hell fire," has no application to the
case, although we' don't remember to
have ever advocated the abolition of the
churches, or ot the closed saloons. It the.
churches are ever abolished it will be tor
want of patrons, and the closed saloons
will not harm anyone if left closed. Con-'
ceding there is a hell of fire we leave to
the editor of the News the distinguished
honor ot being opposed to its extinguish-
ment.
This paper may not know as much
about the Revised Statutes as it does
about Ingersoll and the mistaftfcs of
Moses, as this sapient editor insinuates,
,but it knows this, that there is no law on
the statute.books, stnd no legal authority "niodate
tor a city to make a law, to punish a lad
for indulging in such a harmless amuse-
ment as playing marbles or ball on any
day of the week. Most certainly the
Gazetteer is not "aware of the fact that
cities have the po^yer to make many
things unlawful that iare not prohibited
by state law," when, those things so made
unlawful infringe 'upon the "personal
rights'" of the citizen. If the editor ot

THE PR0P08ED 8UB-WAY.
The latest suh-way proposition to
relieve the Main street crossing, is
to build it under the tracks at the
foot of Woodard street. To do this
would require, an excavation under
the McDougall hotel, which would
be a vety expensive piece of work.
Even then the sub-way would inter-
fere with the Central yard. That
location would also neces'sitate the
construction of a sewer for a long
distance to draw off the water
which would collect in the sub-way.
The expense of constructing this
passageway under the tracks as pro-
posed would be enormous, and will
probably be decided impracticable
after the engineer has furnished plans
and estimates^/^The b^t place for a
sub-way, ana where it will accom-

ness men generally cut down space,

young men began business in Dent-

through close attehtion, strict
economy, . nd a deVire to serve the
trade t§ the very best of their ability,
they soon found that half a room
was not enough. ^

moved, and now the firea-i*occupy-
ing the entire building, and their
cu$omers are supplied with grocer-
ies from a large, clean room, and
vegetables fresh from a handsome
wire spray'vegetable stand. In its
new and enlarged quarters the Mc-
Millin grocery hss no superior in

and the ga/kttekr takes great
pleasure in noting his prosperity.
He is quite a young man, but one of
Denison's oldest citizens, and it is
but doing him justice to state that he
rightly.deserves all his prosperity.
