An amusing incident occurred in one Of
the New Orleans churches on Sunday of last
week. The pastor and congrc .tion are
Germans, and their mutual relations have
always been of an amicable nature but at
the evening service he took some theological
stand which displeased a portion Of his con-
gregation, and they openly commented upon
it in an unfavoraDle manner. Rev. Mr..
Pressly stopped in his discourse and gazed
upon his flock in astonishmcnt. Could it be
possible that the faithful would differ from
him on n subject which he had made the
study of his lifetime Again he thundered
forth his position in tones that should have
stubborn congregation again differed from
him, and several told him from their seats
that he was entirely mistaken. ...
His professional character was at stake; so
down he marched from his pulpit, through
the middle aisle and out Of the front door.
The members of the congregation looked
around at each other with blank faces, con-
vinced that their pastor had resigned his
post rather than any OF them should be dis
satisfied with their spiritual counsellor, but
they were much mistaken in his character and
intention, for in n moment more he marched
in again, and with a policeman at his heels.
"Arrest him, and him, and him." said
he to the officer, until he had pointed out
between twelve and fifteen of the congrega-
ton, Sand take them to the lookup;
charge them with disturbing the peace Of my
church." .'ey 10 IT," 80 . -
Quite coolly the reverend gentleman re-
nscended his pulpit, and took up the thread
of his diccourse from where it had been bro
ken, after having first repeated the .objec-
tionable passage in an emphatic and triumph
ant manner. For the balance OF the even
ing the congregation kept quiet.-L.otisiona

COMICAL SCENE WITH AN AFRICAN
LADY.

Various amusing anecdotes are related
of the poor Africans during their sojourn
in the port Of Charleston. The following
is said to have been most comical scene:
Among the Echo's living cargo, each and
all Of whom be it remembered, were in the
condition in which they came into the world,
and under no obligations to the tailor or
maEtuamaker's art. was n woman who was
distinguished from the rest by her evident
natural brightness and superior looks
Moreover, she was dressed-not probably
after the fashion Of our Broadway bellies
but dressed different from her companions,
nevertheless; and like all true women in
such q condition she felt and evinced her
superiority. She actually had on ''pair
of gloves" which she wore ut all hours,
with evident pride in her costume,'' and felt
that she was in '.full togs." She WAS call
cd par excellence "the Queen;" and her
story getting abroad at Charleston, some
ladies requested and obtained permission for
her to visit them. A laose dress was accor-
dingly furnished her to cover her other de-
iciencies of the article Of clothing, and she
was landed from one of the boats and con-
veycd to the house of prominent resident Of
Charleston. There servants were ordered to
dress the Queen in hoops broad enough for
n dame of.,upper tendon, and Haunting gay
dress. She was much astonished and pleas
ed with the dress, but more with the hoops,
which she would endeavor to catch as she
turned around and uttering outlandish cries.
She also exhibited some inclination constant
ly to examine more closly into the material
beneath her outer dress, but as a gcntlc,uau
was present she was prudently prevented
from gratifying this natural curiosity. AT.
ter spending some hours ashore, she was
conveyed to the beach by number Of he,
entertainers. -. O., -a3s -slz.z

WHAT oREAr HEART paD.

saw Great Heart one day in a railway
train. He was well dressed, and appeared to
be re .ding ,through:his spectacles the M.orsiAg
paper. A poor woman sat opposite with SIX
children, the eldest, scarcely n dozen Years
old. The husband was stupid, hard hearted
wretch, and administered blows unsparipS-
ly to wcaried little thing who expressed
its discomfort by crying and fretting as the
hot, dusty air swept over his flushed face.
The mothers countenance wore n look of
patientc despair and continual anxiety, rs
the little company sat crowded together in
the loaded car. Not one Of them looked
shabby nor untidy, though very plainly
dressed. When the engine stopped for fuel
the poor woman took out from basket
some bread and cheese, which she distribu
ted sparingly among the little group
Great Heart had watched their movements
all the morning, and boy approached the
carriage with basket full Of berries, he
bought up boxes enough to 90 round, and
gave them to the hungry children, whose
eyes glistencd as they saw such II rnre des-
sert spread before them. One little girl,
perhaps five years old, was nearly sick, and
tried to rest in her mothers lap /; but the
tired infant disputed vigorously her right,
and she was obliged to yield the claim.-
Great Heart had been gravcly considering
the company, and he did not hesitate to take
the poor child tenderly in his arms, lay her
carefully down in the seat beside him, with
her head in his lap, and gently famed her
with his paper until she sank into deep,
peaceful slumber. When we stopped for
our dinner we saw them all seated by
bountiful table, loaded with lux"ries to
which they seemed almost strangers, yet
which they knew very we'll how to appreciate.
We knew it was Great Hearts, and we
mentally blessed the kind, generous nature
that had thus shed sunshine on the hard
pathway of the humble strangers. Chris
tian reader, in caring for the soul Of the
poor, do not forget their bodies.

A HOAX.

HOAX.
Chambers Edinburgh Journal contains 9
sketch of the life of Antoine Galland, q
French author, who died in 1915. We are
indebted to this sketch for the following
anecdote
Though the author of many learned and
important works, that which has made him
popular is q Thousand and One Nights
On the appearance Of the first volumes Of
this work, a singular hoax was played of
on the author. One very cold night, in the
middle Of winter, Antoine Galland was sud
denly awakened by several knocks at the
street door. He got up, threw his dressing
gown hastily over him, ran to the window,
opened it, and, in spite Of the darkness,
perceived several persons assembled at his
door.
'Who is there said he.
Several voices instantly answered, lis this
Monsieur Guliand's:'
'Yes.'
'Are you sure .
'Quite sure = said Galland.
'THke notice. said one Of the persons be-
low, that what we have got to say can only
be said to himself.'
'Then you may speak freely, for am
Antoine Galland; but speak quickly for the
wind is blowing in my face in no very agree
able manner
'Do you speak, said one Of the interlo-
cutors to his neighbor.
Speak YOURSELF rejoined he.
'No, must speak, said third.
:'Ah, gentlemen you must let me have Il
word,' exclaimed u fourth.
'For the love of heaven, gentlemen said
Galand, who was perishing with cold, make
haste: am freczing.' z.-..
The same. colloquy recommended, and
Galland, who had been listening with Won
derous patience, again exclaimed, still shiv-
ering, 'For the love of heaven, gentlemen,
make haste, for the cold is piercing
At last all the young people, who had
disturbed the sleep Of the Orientalst join in
one chorus, 'Ah, Monsieur Galland, if you
are not asleep, tell US one of those stories
you tell so wcll.'
This was an ullusion to the two first vol
umes of the Thousand and One Nights, in
which every chapter begins thus: My dear
Sister, if you are not asleep, tell US one Of
the stories which YOU tell 50 WELL
Antoine Galand had too much sense to
be angry at this sally; he began to laugh,
and replying, 'Gcntlemcn, du reroir = he
closed the window, and returned to bed,
where he was not long before he resamcd
some of the caioric he had lost at the win
dow. lie, however, profited by the lesson, ,
and published all his other volumes With
out this exordium.
