AN INcDEET.-A correspondent informs
US of an incident which occurred at the
Congregational church in Westminster, in
this State, last Sabbath. The clergyman,
an aged minister, was preaching from the
text-"I speak unto wise men; understand
ye what l say" He advanced as far as
"thirdly," when he observed that many oI
his hearers, overcome by the heat of the
day, had fallen asleep. Stopping in bis
discourse, and wiping the presperation from
his furrowed brow, he exclaimed:
"My friends, as the day is sultry and op-
pressive, 1 will stop awhile, and request
the choir, in the meantime, to sing the tune
of Coronation commencing, My drowsy
powers, why sleep ye SOP"
The effect was electrical, bringing the
audience to their feet They remained
standing, while the Sabine chorus. from
the combined voices of the choir and con-
gregation, soon filed the house, and effect
ually destroyed the disposition to sleep
The preacher resumed his discourse al
"thirdIy."- Lynn NeVS.

Lieut. Gov. Brown. of the New England
Farmer, having made some inquiries re-
specting the diet Of of the elephant whose
exploits in plowing have been mentioned in
all the papers, the great Snowman replies
in way not likely to encourage the gene
raj introduction of that kind of labor:
"He eats on an average one busbeI of
cats and one hundred pounds of hay per
day, Sundays and all His weight is 4, zoo
pounds. He will accomplish any kind of
work set before him, and uses three times
better judgment than three-fo fourths Of the
help which I am obliged TO employ on
my farm. Above all things he is not an
eye servant. Once set him to work piliug
up wood, picking up stone, or anything
else, and you can leave him without fear
of his playing old soldier in your absence.
Another capital negative quality is, that he
don't pick up his duds and start for home
exactly at O'Clock in the afternoon. as
many other farmers assistants do He is
willing to labor until sundown, and even
later, if work is pressing. On the whole be
is very honorable, industrious, intelligent
and well behaved farmer: nevertheless.

plants as the cheapest workers on farm.
They cannot work in cold weather, and of
course would eat themselves up, trunk and
all, in single winter"

DEATH OF A CoNvIcT IN THE INDIANA
PEN1rsNTIARY AT JEFFERsoNvILLE.--A man
IS years of age died on Friday night last
of an affection of the heart, having perform
ed on the day previous TO his death. his al
loted task in apparent good health. He
leaves a property valued at 100000, and
was incarcerated for period of two years
for the crime of forgery to the amount of
$25! The old chap was misery in the ex-
treme, denying himself the smallest luxury
beyond the prison fare of bread and water
and beefs head broth.
Many anecdotes are related of this old
scamp, which go to mark him as one of the
oddities of his species. AT the time of his
arrest for the alledged forgery he was ten
dered counsel, who pledged themselves to
to clear him for fee of $500. To this the
old man replied, that, eff convicted the
sentence would only be for tlUo years, and
he didn't think he could make his expenses
and two hundred and fifty dollars year
out of the penetentiary, and it would cost
him nothing to live there and be would save
that much anyhowF'

A correspondent of the Charleston Cour.
Ter: relates the following interesting eircum,
stance:
II was present when Gen. Washington
gave his last vote. 1t was in the spring oI
1899, in the town of Alexandria. He died
the IIlh of December following. The
Court House of Fairfax county was then
over the Market House and Immediately
fronting Gadsby's tavern. The entrance
into it was by a slight flight of crazy steps
on the outside. The election was progress
ing-several thousands Of persons in the
Court House yard and immediate neigh
boring streets, and / was standing on Cad
by's steps When the Father of bis country
drove up and Immediately approached the
Court House steps, and when within ayard
or two of them l saw eight or ten good
looking men from different directions, GER
tainly without the least concert spring sim
ultaneously and place themselves in posi-
tions to uphold and support the steps
should they fall in the Generals ascent Of
them. was Immediately at his back, and
in that position entered the Court House
with him-followed in bis wake through a
dense crowd to the polls-heard him vote
returned with him to the outward crowd
heard him cheered by more than two
thousand persons as he entered bis car
riage, and saw his departure. There were
FIVE or six candidates on the bench sitting
and as the General approached them, they
r1se in body and bowed smilingly, and
the saiution having been returned very
gracefully, the General Immediately cast
bis eyes towards the registry of the polls.
when Col. Deneale, 1 think it was said:
well. General, how do you vote?' The
General looked at the candidates and said ::
Gentlemen, vote for measures, not for
men, and turning to the recording table
audibly pronounced his vote, saw it enter
ed, made graceful bow, and retired"

A PASSAGE occurs in Lieut.. Maurey's
Physical Geography of the Sea in which
he computes the effect of single drop oi
rain falling upon the Atlantic Ocean: The
Atlantic includes an area of twenty-five mil
lions of square miles. Suppose an inch ol
rain to fall upon only one fifth of this vast
expnnse. 1t would weigh, says our author,
three hundred and sixty millions of tuns
and the salt which as water, it held in So
luton in the sea, and which, when that wa
ter was taken up as vapor, was left behind
TO disturb equilibrium, weighed sixteen
million more of tuns, or nearly twice as
much as all the ships in the world would
carry at a cargo each. 1t might fall in an
hour, or it might fall in day; but occupy
what time it might in falling, this rain is
calculated to exert so much force-which
is SO inconceivably great-in disturbing the
equilibrium of the ocean. If all the water
discharged by the Mississippi river during
the past year we're taken up in one mighty
measure and cast into the ocean at one NIGH
ty effort. it would not make greater dis
turbance in the equilibrium of the sea, than
the fall of rain supposed And yet so gen.
tie are the operations of nature, that move
ments SO vast are unperceived.

FINAL Testimony OF John Davis.


Mr., I. w. Higginson, in an anti slavery
speech during Anniyersiiy week. related an
impressive anccdote Of the late Senator
Davis-a man whose sober and unpretcnd-
ing public career exhibited a larger share of
New England manhood than is often deysl,
oped in public life:
1t was the last night Of Mr.. DAVIS Con-
gressionalcareer. The clock was approach
leg the hour oftweIye, and the old man sat
quietly in his seat, waiting for the end OF
bis long public life. Senators Who bad
known h'm for 50 many years stood by
watching him TO see if they could mark any
change 10 bis quiet face. They saw none.
The clock struck twelve at last, and the old
man arose from bis seat with the last stroke
and took his place outside the railing, no
more Senator, but an humble private
man. His successor had not been appoint
ed; there was no reason why he should re-
sign his seat; his friends srged him to re-
tain it, simply -Gem courtesy, if nothing
more; but he said: "No, my public life is
en5ud;" and went home to his hotel. Mr..
Sumner followed him, wishing to present
his compliments and respects on the concIu-
sion of his long term Of service. AS he en-
tered the door of Mr.. Davis parlOr he found
the old man sitting with his elbows on the
table, and his face buried in his hands, ab.
sorbed IN deep thought Said Mr. Davis:
"Would you like TO hear what are the
thoughts passing through my mind at the
end Of this. my long experience?" ayes
certainly" was the reply; 'Ghe thoughts Of
such a man at such time, must be deeply
interesting" "Well, sir," said the veteran,
drawing himselfup "this the contamination
of the whole. Here iE our National Gov
ernment slavery rules everything, Mr.Sum.

YOUTHFUL Philanthropy AND IT5 Re.
wARD.-About four weeks ago an elderly
and respectfully dressed gentleman was OBJ
served lying on the sidewalk on Fourth
stree. nearly opposite the office Of the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad. A crowd gather
ed around, some whom pronounced him in
fit, while others attributed his malady TO
another cause. Among them was lit
tie girl about twelve years of age, and who,
kneeliDg down, gently lifted his head upon
her lap, while she wi ped away the clammy
perspiration from his forehead with her
shawl. In short time the object of her So
Iicitude revived sufficiently to ask for water
and, il being administered, be asked for a
coach, which, being brought up. he was lift
ed into when he motioned for the little girl
to accompany him. 1t was case of para
lysis; the gentleman's name was Brothers;
be is retired merehan: from New Orleans
but lately arrived in this city. His place
of residence is on Fourth, near Park-stree:.
The little giIl, who acted the part of the
good Samaritan in her sympathy with, and
administering to the afflicted, is the daugh-
ter of poor widow woman named Perkins
who resides near the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad Depot, and every morning during
bis sickness she might have been seen at
the residence of the afflicted genilemantim-
idly inquiring after his health.
The most grateful phase of the incidens
| is that the invalid, who is so far recovered
that he can ride out, drove on Monday to
the residence of the mother of the child.
and, presenting her with check for 5000,
hung handsome gold chain around the
neck CT his little ministering angel, to which
was suspended a plain but costly gold
watch, upon the case Of which was the fol-
lowing inscription: presented to Mary
Cordelia Perkins by her friend, William
