It con- cerns the membery of this ¢hurch very deeply, and no one who has a regard for eternal happi- negs should be absent.” When the benediction was pronounced the handfal of people slowly dispersed, but behold how much good se. a few can scatter! The next Sunda the sacred edifice was packed. There was, indeed, scarcely breathing room when the white-haired sage once more lifted his head above the pulpit cushions, and a silence as of death fell upon the expectant throng. He stood a moment looking upon the unwonted scene, and then his volce in silvery cadences broke the hush of anticipation. ‘Dear friends,” he said, ‘‘the scandal I would reveal to you is this: You will gather in crowds to hear mis- chievous gossip, but you will not listen to ex- Planations of the inspired word. Now, my children, I offer my resignation. I am going to Europe for six months, and I shall pay my own expenses.” But no one of the vast multitude took the lesson to himself; he applied it to his neighvor.—Boston Courier. ——_$§_-o____ Mexican Donkeys.

A Battle Which LastedSix Hours and ‘Then the Victor Beyoured His Luck- » less Victim. From the Denver Tribane.. There was recently received in Denver, for store exhibition, two full-grown tarantulas, one of the brown and the other ofthe black variety. The brown fellow was caged ip a common cigar box, and the black one in a glass jar. As they could not be exhibited to advantage in contriv- ances of this kind, and as they were not very pleasant company to have running about loose, a box almost two feet squaré with a glass top was procured, on the bottom‘of which a layerof samt was spread to make the animals feel at home. The cover was then drawn and the two spiders pitched into it from theirseparate cages. © sooner did the one discover the other's presence than they rushed at each other as viciously as two panthers, and immediately closed in deadly embrace. They came together with a bound. and then twining their long, hairy legs about each other rolled over and over ia the sand, biting each other savage! and then tugging with all the:r might as if en- deavoring to crush each other by sieer muscu- lar power. Incredible as it may seem, this sort of warfare was kept up tor six hours, during most of which time it cc nm that eitlier was gaining the slightest advantage. as neither showed any sign of disposition to end the fight except by the death of his adversary. At last the black one succumbed and rolled over dead on the sand, while the victor immediately proceeded to reap the spoils of his long battle. Seizing his vanquished enemy in his stout horns, or pincers, or whatever contrivance he has for that purpose, he rapidly tore him limb from limb, and coolly proceeded, in true cannibalistic fashion, to make a meal of him. Ina very short tline nothing was lett except a little pile of legs and pieces of shell to mark the spot where one tarantula had fallen and another had dined. ee HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, How Amos Kendall Fought Star Reute Thieves Nearly Fifty Years Ago. Long Branch Cor. Utica Observer. Let us stop for a minute upon the piazza of the “West End” and hear what this group of gentlemen are talking of so excitedly. Poli- ties, of course. Dhe star route cases engage their attention, and some sharp things are said about Dorsey's impudent letter which nobody belleves he ever sent to Garfield. In very olden times it used to be sald that the way of the transgressor is hard. Nowadays there is a party of transgressors who devote themeelyes to making hard the way of the honest_ official, and chief among these have been Dorsey and his crew. The more they attack Garfield, MacVeagh and James the wore they strengthen the reverence for the memory of the one, and the more they endear the other two to the honest public. History repeats itself strangely, and strangely enough has it repeated Itself in the present case. Way back in Jackson’s time, in 1835-37, this star route business was once gone through with. Wm. T. Barry was then Postmaster General, and he had allowed William B. Stokes and R. C. Stockton, two Marylanders, and L. W. Stock- ton and Daniel Moore, two Pennsylvanians, to make charges against’ his department for extra services performed by them incarrying the mail. But when Ainos Kendall succeeded Barry as Postmaster General, he, affording a precedent for Postmaster General James, did not see things in the same light as his predecessor, and the re- sult was the litigation now reported in the books as Kendall vs. the United States, which has bi come famous. Under an act of Congress the auditor of the Treasury was directed to audit the controverted accounts, and Virgil Maxey, who was then the auditor, passed upon and allowed the major part of the contractor's claims. But Kendall was headstrong in his honesty and refused to pay. ‘The contractors and politicians had Congress with them, and Congress came speedily to thelr relief, but with true Jacksonian spirit Kendallstill held out, and was roundly cursed by ail the good old-fashioned Stalwart’s of his day. Congress even went so far as to pass a resolution to the effect “that the Postmaster-General is fully warranted in paying and ought to pay,” ete.. etc., but it was of no use, and the courts were finally asked to intervene, and compel payment by mandamus directed to Kendall. The case went to the Supreme court of the United States, and now fills 120 pages of Peter’s Reports. Kendall won, and Chief Justice Taney stood by the Postmaster General in his fight against dishonesty. But Kendall was thoroughly Hated and roundly damned by the politiclans—and there were poli- ticlans In those days. Von Holst speaks of them as a “guild of professional politicians,"as I remember him, and they strongly resembled the “machines” of to-day. They swore to hound Kendall to his graye and took every means of damaging him, just as the star route tribe now resort to all sorts of devices against MacVeagh and James, but Kendall won, and so will Post- master General James. Iam told that one of the parties to the fight Js still alive, old Extra Billy Smith, who was one of tke contractors in a like plight with Stokes and the Stocktons and who was subsequently elected to Congress. sasemt [yesbintahid aati The “Aristocracy” at Newport. Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer. By far the most beautiful girl in all Newport at present is a Boston hair-dresser. About all the male admiration in the entire Casino yes- terday afternoon was bestowed upon her, and she received it with the unconscious grace and dignity of an ideal duchess. Her father was a bricklayer, I am told, her mother a washer- woman, and she herself ended her school days at the age of thirteen to earn her own living. And here she is, a bright-skinned orunette, with big, melting black eyes, abundant jetty hair, regular features. a tall, shapely, well-carried figure, and perfectly ladylike manners. She works busily and quite profitably at home, but isnow out for a holiday, and when a woman loftily sent for her to come and dress her hair, meaning an insult, she wrote back: “I regret to say that it is impossible. I did not leave my shop as long ago as you did your slaughter- house, but I am for the time being quite as far away from it.” The fact was that the woman had, more than twenty years ago, been a practical worker in the Boston pork-packing house in which her hus- band founded his fortuns Crime in France. The annual report of the Minister of Justice as to the state of crime in France gives some in- teresting figures. The most curious fact de- monstrated by the tables is, perhaps, that jury trials have largely diminished in France since 1856. From 1826 to 1855 the quinquennial num- ber of jury trials varied between 5,200 and 5,700. From 1856 to 1860 the number was 4,155, and since then it has descended to between 3,400, as Irom 1876 to 1830, and 3,800, as from 1871 to 1875. This change is attributed, not toa de- crease in the amount of crime, but to a habit acquired of late years by the examining magistrates of ignoring aggravating cir- cumstances wherever it 1s | possible and reducing crimes to the diménsions of of- fences within the jurisdiction of the tri- bunals of CorrectionalsPolied. Of the differ- ent years those which slow-the largest number of crimes dealt with byJurles'down to 1856 are 1840, 1847 and 1854, when the price of wheat w exceptionally high. Crimes @gainst ‘morals, as they are styled in the report—viz., bigamy. abduction, rape and indecenc¥—have increase: from the first IN aly Period, 1826 to 1830, to the last, 1876 to 1880. from to 982. Murders, which in the first period numbered 426, in the last numbered 340. The change, however, has been chiéfly due to a new classi- fication, and the number remained, on the whole, stationary. Murder is most rife in the southern departments, where one murder is committed to 8,285 inhabitants, and least rife Es the central d ae ie ae oe roportion is one m , a rants. Of the other parts of France, in the southeastern departments, the proportion is one to 15,700 inhabitants; In the northern, one to 16,200; in the north rh, oneto 16,400; in the southwestern, one to 18,200; and in the pie agtd one to eA: To Ae turn to crimes in general, as sex, the pro m of male to female remained almost stationary—viz., about 84 per cent males to 16 females. ‘the proportion of criminals able to read and write, to those unable to do so, has, of course, with the dissemination of education Prising extent, "in the frat gulaguendial pored Pp extent.

RR OO TA Among the ancient oaks of England, few are er 3 Y yt k more interesting than the gigantic ruin now Bo, ¥ ook I standing in an arable field on the banks of the Severn, near Shrewsbury. It is the sole remain- ing tree of those vast forests which gave Shrews- burr its Saxon name of Schobbesburgh. The Saxons seized this part of the country A. D. 577, when they burnt the Roman city of Uricontum, where Wroxeter now stands, four miles from the village of Cressage; and underneath this now decre;.it Cotard it is said that the earliest Christian misstonaries of those times—and pos- sibly St. Chad himself—preached to the heathen before churches had been built. The Cressage Oak—called by the Saxons Criste-ache (Christ's Oak)—Is probably not less than fourteen cen- turies old. The circumference of the trunk was about thirty feet, measured fairly at a height of five feet from the ground; but only about one- half of the shell of the hollow trunk now re- mains. It still bears fifteen living branches, each fifteen feet or sixteen feet in length. A young oak grows from the center of the hollow. The noted oaks of England, thanks to those who have preserved them, thanks to the un versal veneration for timber and toa stirring and lengthened history, are innumerable.
