A NEW YORKER AT SEvAsToPoL.-
The Express Messenger publishes let
ter from R. c. McCormic, Jr., of New
York, dated at Balaklava on Dec. 90,
from which we take the subjoined in
teresting paragraphs:
ARRIVAL IN THE CRIMEA.-We (the
British steamer Medway) brought an
assorted cargo--a little of everything
camp stoves and stove pipe in any guam
tity, and no less than / 400 bags of
charcoal; rum, plenty of it; soldiers,
sheep, horses and wheel barrows; sur
geons, civil engineers, and a world of
large and small, round. square, and tri-
angular boxes, bales and parcels of
every imaginable species of goods,
mainly for the use of the army, no.
ticed many neatly prepared packages,
delicately marked, evidently tokens of
the kind remembrance of mothers and
sisters at home-those dear ones whose
affection follows the husband, the son,
the brother, wherever he may roam.-
Many poor fellows heart was made
glad by the arrival of our heavily laden
ship. 1 heard one gallant officer say,
the receipt of small parcel of good
things Clothing and provisions from
home, cheered him more than the arri-
val of a reinforcement of 10000 men.
As soon as we had anchored, army
and navy oficers-men worth thou
sands of pounds-rushed on board,
anxiously seeking an interview with the
steward. One went away with keg Of
butter, another took off a turkey, an
other went, laughing, away with head
of cabbage; while another carried a
basket of bread; and still another walk
ed off with sheepl and seldom have l
seen men more. thoroughly delighted
with their purchases. Many inquiries
were made for long-legged boots, and
several of our passengers, who had
brought up few pairs on speculation,
made speedy and profitable disposal of
their stock.
BALAKLAvA.-The harbor of Bala-
klaya deserves mention for it ssingulari-
ty if for nothing else. The eentrance from
the Black Sea can be discerned but at
very short distance. l stood on the for
ward deck of the Midway for an hour
or two seeking for it, as she appeared
to be steering directly into ledge of
rocks, One might sail by hundred
times and never discover the curious
opening. Those captains who had not
beenihere before have to 'come too
outside, and send small boat to pick
the way. Once in the harbor, YOU are
eneircled by lofty mountains, protecting
yon entirely from the sea, and, in fact,
hiding the vessel as completely as tho
locked up in the Atlantic docks. There
is an open plain to the north side of the
harbor, from which the roads to Sevas-
topol all diverge. Balaklava has its
shops, and they are remarkable estab-
lishments. Along the main lane, l

ty of appearance exhibited by the wei
bred Indian. Had they been observing
me at that moment, they must have no
ticed the sudden start which the cap
tain's question caused me, but they
paid no attention to me. Mr.. Merwin
replied, that he should be very happy
to know what had become of him.
He ought to have been here long ago.
"Perhaps," says the captain, che has
started home and got shipwrecked or
scalped." eff he has, remarked Mer-
win, 'then 1 am a ruined man. We
have depended on the money he was to
get at Green Bay, to use where money
is badly wanted, if he fails fail too. %
Presently the matter was dropped: Mr..
Merwin turned to me, ''Indian," says
he, "want some supper?" 1 got up,
and followed him into the dining
room, where he requested Mrs. NJ. to
give me something to eat, and retired.
1t appeared that the rest of the family
had eaten their suppers before 1 came:
when l entered the dining room, can
dies were lighted. The kind hearted
lady set on more and better victuals
than some folks would, seeing it was
for nobody but an Indian. You will
remember, gentlemen, that it had been
sometime since l had sat at a well fur
nished table, and will make due allow
ance for the strength of my appetite
Mrs. Merwin, in attending to matters
about the room, observed that | used
the table furniture with more dexterity
than red men usually did. Woman's
wit discovered what they could not
After watching me a short time, she
came up, took me by the arm with one
hand, pushed back the hair on my fore
head with the other, and addressed me
by name. need not tell you that the
room was full of familiar faces in less
than five minutes.
"That is the history, gentlemen"
remarked Mr.. G. in conclusion, "of
my travels by land from Green Bay to
in 1898"
And thus, Mr. Editor, l have told
you the story. The narrator gave
many interesting particulars, and ex-
planatory remarks, in reply to questions
and observations by the company,
which / have not written out here. He |
also gave the name in full OF the COM
at Chicago. 1t has escaped
ny memory. am quite confident,
however, that the name commenced
With a W.
1 remarked at the outset, that the
gentleman was still living. 1 add, that

1t one of those noble gatherings, "The
Ohio State Fair" held at the city which

CHURcH DIFFIcULTIEs.-Spending q
night in certain neighborhood of A,
we inquired of our host, fair, Chris
tian man, how the church got on, for
we had passed neglected frame chapel
at the cross roads.
%, poorly said he, poorly enough
why, what's to pay? You are in q

to keep up congregation and support

Just so, sighed be, but one trouble
some man has broken up the society,
and keeps it broke up. 1t was an un-
lucky day for the church when be
moved here; there has been no peace
since. Yet he is, person of good
parts. and has an interesting family
Before he came here he had troubles In
the same way
We suggested that perhaps the
troublesome mans peculiarities were not
consulted; indulge him little. May
be he wants to lead.
%, as to that, we've tried him in the
lead, and every way. He is not salts
fed with leading, but turns round and
butts the wheel horse
We gave it up. Our host was a
farmer, and the illustration cut like an
argument. David had few of this
sort in his mind when be wrote the 12Oth
Psalm.
Some persons says an exchange,
"seem to act upon the principle that the
church is to be militant, in a different
sense from. that Of wsging a warfare
against the enemies Of Christ and the
souls of men. They would make indi-
yidual bodies of protesting Christians
so many warriors, engaged in strife. not
with common foe, but with each other.
In the language Of the Apostle, they
bite and deyour one another Some,
unhappily, have peculiar aptness for
strife. Let them be sur
rounded with ever SO peaceful a brother
hood, they can somehow or other bring
1ut bone of contention; let them re-
move their membership into ever so
many congregations, their trail may be
traced by the noise and dust of war.
