The following anecdote from the Coun-
tess of Huntingdon's Life and Times, is
well worthy the attention Of Clergymen,
some of whom we doubt not occasionally
lay themselves open to rebuke, similar
to the one given by the British Roscius:
Garrick and DR.. &onhouse.--Dr. Ston-
house is said to have been one Of the most
correct and elegant preachers in the king
dom. When he entered into holy orders
he took, occasion to profit by his acq,lain-
lance with Garrick, to procure from him
some valuable instructions in elocution.-
Being once engaged to read prayers and to
preach at church in the city, he prevail
Cd upon Garrick 70 go with him. After
the service, the British Roscius asked the
Doctor what particular business he had to
do when the dtuy was over? "None, -
said the other. 81 thought you had, (said
Garrick) on seeing you enter the reading
desk in such hurry" ..Nothing added
he) can be more indecent than to see a
clergyman set about sacred business as if
he were tradesman, and GO into the
church as if he wanted to get out of it as
soon as possible" He next asked the
Doctor '.What books he had in the desk
before him!'' "Onky the Bible and Prayer
book .'Onlythe Bible Prayer-book re-
Piled the player, why you toss them back
wards and forwards, and turned the leaves
as carelessly as if they were those of a
day-book and ledger" The Doctor was
wise enough to see the force of these OBJ
servations, and ever after avoided the
faults they were designed to reprove."
EXTRAORDINARY SEIZURE OF Four
TEEN PERFORMERS AND Forty OF THE AU-
D1ENcE.-Last night, between nine and
ten o'clock, an extraordinary sensasion
was created in Parker street, Drury Lane,
in consequence of the seizure Of fourteen
performers and forty of the audience at
that den of infamy, thetwo-penny theatre,
in the above named street. The perform
ers are all in their dresses, and with their
companions, snugly lodged in Bow street
station; the lock-ups are crammed; the APP
pearance of the motley group will create a
scene which would puzzle Cruikshank
himself to portray. The seizure is made
under a clause in the new police act
London paper, Sept. 6.
The annual report of the American Tenn
perance Union states that in Massachusetts
from Is to 10000 persons, nave, within
the last year, signed the pledge 10 abstain
from all intoxicating liquors. In New
York city more than 10, 600. In Phila-
delphia more than 1000. The New York
Seamen's Temperance Society, reports
900 captains and 1000 seamell, as regular
and consistent members.
The amount of domestic spirit inspect
ed at the public Office in New York in
1888, was but little more than half az great
as that inspected in 1897. In the same
year there was decrease Of imported
