A PATRIOTIC MINIsrER-The Rev. Dr.
Murray, Of Elizabethtown, n j., has furn-
ished to the New Jersey Historical Society
Il highly interesting account of the Rev.
James Caldwell, whose active and energetic
cooperation with the patriots Of the revolu-
ton intimately associate him with the coun-
try and its interests. High rewards were
offered for his capture, and for years he
walked about armed. On the attack on
Springfield, June 25, 1880, he was present
every way encouraging the troops. 1t is said
that during the conflict, the wadding of a
company of soldiers failed. He few to a
neighboring Presbyterian church, and filing
his pockets and arms with Watts Psalms
and. Hymns, rode back to the company, and
distributing the books among them, cried
out, as he flung one here, and another there,
"INolU put Watts into them bOys."

THoLUcK AND CHALMERS s.--Tholuck' the
German theologist, visited Chalmers at Ed
inburgh, in 1916, and the two celebrities
enjoyed much friendly intercourse, but the
concluding interview surpassed the whole
The day before Tholuck' S departure Chal-
mers called. He sat with him only a few
minutes, and said little, but looked at him
constantly, with an expression Of earnest
interest and affection. He rose to take
leave and instead of taking him by the
hand, he threw his arms around his neck
and kissed him, while 'Gcd bless you, my
dear friend,' broke with apparent difficulty
from his over-charged heart. After Chal-
mers left, it was noticed that tear had
gathered in the eye of him who had receiv-
ed the apostolic benediction and seal of
brotherhood from one whom he loved and
venerated so much. His only observation
was "a half-muttered. halfspoken, "eben ei,,

SPIRIT RApp1NG--The main fallacy,
through which the dupes of The spirit rap
pers are taken in, consists in the assumption
that the phenomena must be supernatural,
or the real work of spirits Of the dead, if
the spectators cannot detect the cheat. and
explain the process by which the seeming
results are produced. This methed of rea-
soning if sound, would apply as well to pro-
fcssed jugglers. These miserable "medi-
ums' have not begun to equal the wonders
wrought by Signor Blitz, and why should
their unaccountable freaks-supposing them
to be unaccountablc-be dignitied with the
name of miracles sooner than his! -.....s

An Awful Tragedy.

a most revolving tragedy took place at
Brownstown, Pa, a few days since 1t ap-
pears that two brothers, named Hiram and
Warren Francisco, who were engaged in
clock peddling, agreed to meet at public
house IN the vicinity of Brownstown. One
Of the brothers reached the tavern about
3 o'clock in the evening, and inquired if his
brother had arrived, and was informed by
the landlord that he had not. The Cincin.

lars.
After eating his supper he called for
light, and asked to be shown to bed. The
landlord informed him that he had no can.

him he would take him to bed. Francisco
followed the landlord into dark room. and
undressed himself and retired to rest
The bed seemed to be wet and having some
matches about him, he struck a lirht. In
on examining the bed he found it was wet
with blood Discovering a candle on the
table near by, he lit it, and, looking under
the table, saw the body Of his brother, with
his throat cut from ear TO ear, and perfectly

he proceeded to load revolver which he had,
but before he could do SO there was an effort

Pretending not to be alarmed, he asked
them to wait until he dressed himself. As

opened the door and the landlord and two

Almost a. Prophecy.

In the year 17S1, the celebrated DR.. Rush
wrote long letter to Board of Trustees
or Visitors who had the oversight of the
Young Ladies Academy in Philadelphia
from which letter the following is an extract:
Il am not enthusiastical upon the subject
of education In the ordinary course of
human affairs, we shall probably too soon
follow the footsteps of the nations of Europe
In manners and vices. The first we shall
perceive Of our declcnsion will appear among
our women. Their idieness, ignorance and
profgacy will be the harbingers of our ru.
in. Then will the character and perform
ance Of a buffoon in the theatre be the SUBJ
Ject of more conversation and praise than
the patriot or minister of the gospel
Then will our language and pronunciation
be enfeebled and corrupted by flood of
French and Italian words then will the
history of romantic amours be preferred to
the immortal writings of Addison, Hawkes.
worth and johnson then will our churches
be neglected and the name of the Supreme
Being never be called upon but in profane
exclalnations; then will our Sundays be ap-
propriated to feasts and concerts and then
will begin all that food of domestic and po-
litical calamitos | forbear."
Reader-go back and read that again.
Ponder it well-rccollect it was written six
ty-five years ago, by an American citizen,
distinguished alike for his patriotism, learn
ing and piety. Does it not look like pro-
phecy when you compare the statements with

THE AsTATIc CHoLERA-The London
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American, in his letter of the 9th ultimo.
TINS notices the approach of this fatal dis
ease:
"That terrible scourge the Asiatic chol-
era, is steadily moving from east to west, as
in 1885 and 1917 and is more fatal to the
population that it was in those years. In
Central Europe it is sweeping away its thou
sands. From Persia, the cholera has spread
through Turkey, Poland, and Prussia. 1t
has proved very fatal at Warsaw. and also
at Dantzic. Accounts received from Poscn
state that the proportion of deaths to the
number Of persons attacked continues a.
armingly higb-out of sixty-eight new cases
ffty-eight are fatal In most places there
was such general panic that the courts
were adjourned.
at is feared in England that the cholera
will 60 over the same track this year-that
after reaching the western ports of the con-
tinent it will first appear on the eastern
coast of England, and from this country it
| will pursue its course westward to the Uni
ted States 1t is well, therefore, for our
countrymen to be warned in time that their
cities and towns may be thoroughly cleans,

by competent persons. Some preliminary
action in this respect may be the means of.

New Charges Against Bishop
DOane,

The Newark Advertiser" says that Bish-
op Doane has issued another letter to his
Diocese, which states that on the 9th inst.
at 10 1-2 p. NJ, a paper in the nature Of a
presentment, making some alteration in the
previous charges, and containing four new
specifications, was left at his house purport-
ing to be from the three Bishops who made
the former prescntment The Bishop says
this presentment comes to him only thirty
days before the day appointed for the trial,
and as the Canon of the Diocese requires
four weeks for the call of special convention
he is precluded by the delay of the three
Bishops in making out their new present
ment from the possibility of discharging his
duty to the Convention of the Diocese, and
enabling it to consider its duty towards itself
and him
The new specifications consist, in sub
stance, of two charges of failure to pay notes
to the Camden Bank one of which, for
$3.50, was given by the Bishop as par pay
ment of a note of his, endorsed bv Michael
Hayes, of $1,000, the remaining S150 being
satisfied out of a udgment which the bank
held against Hayes; the other note of 800
endorsed by Hayes not being protested on
account of the Bishops request, and his
promise to give new note which he never
fulfilled. The other two charges are, that
the Bishop was in the habit of running in
debt for large supplies of liquor, and that
he was unduly excited by it on the steam
boat Trenton, in November, 1851, and at
Bordertown in November, 1917; and that
he caused Jos Deacon to drink cider brandy
that he might be able to persuade him to
endorse certain notes. All these charges
the Bishop declares to be false, or capable
of all crime of immortality

About a month ago an anonymous writer
in the Richmond Enquirer, said that some
years ago he knew a man named Foss, sent
to the penitentiary for horse stealing, and he
asked whether the Foss, that reported Gen.

Upon the strength of this, several of the Loco
foco editors have actually stated as fact
that the reporter of Gen. Pierce's speech
is penitentiary convict! Isn't ita misera-
