Stolen Property Found at Church.

We extract the following choice NOR
ceau from last Saturdays Episcopal Meth
oGist:
Most of the fashionable churches in
this city are being closed during the warm
weather, while the pastors and focks
have shaken the city dust from their feet
aud gone "rusticatIng," seeking refresh
ment in short vacation. Speaking of
fashionable churches reminds me of an
incident that occurred lately in ons OF the
fashionable Episcopal Churches here
Thinking it might be of interest to some
of your readers, ! will give you the Incl
dent in full
A Southern lady, on visit to this city,
went to worship in one of the uptown
churches. Soon after, an elegantly dress
cd New York lady, of high social stand
ing, entered the same pew and remained
during the service, after which the South
ern lady called her aside into the vestry
room, aud in the presence of the Rector,
with whom she was very we'll acquainted,
thus addressed her: "Madam 1 do not
wish to offend you, but that shawl you
are wearing belongs to me-" (The shawl
was superb one.) The New Yorker
protested, and declared that there must
be some mistake. "If,'' says the South
ern lady, "you will examine certain
corner, you will see my initials worked iu
it, and the Rector knows my name very
we'll" The corner was found as we'll as
the initials. The Southern lady then re-
marked, "that ring you have upon your
fngor is also mine, and if you will take
the trouble to examine the interior you
will see the same initials engraved in the
ring" Similar movements as above de-
scribed took place and with similar re-
suits.
Turning to her again, the Southern la
dy said: "Madam, that bracelet you have
on is mine also, and by pressing spring
on the inside it will uuclasp and show you
my portrait" The Now York lady did
as requested, and there was the lady's
portrait. She promptly returned the ring
and bracelet, as she was convinced beyond
the power to controvert it, that they were
the property of this Southern lady, and
remarked as she did, "they are yours, and
you are welcome to them, but as I wore
the shawl to church, 1 must beg the priv.
ilego of wearing it home again" The
Southern lady acceded, of course, and
they exchanged cards. The shawl came
back in due time, but the New York lady
had probably obtained the articles in such
manner as to render it too unpleasant
to divulge. No more was said about it.
Moral: If Southern ladies want to know
where their articles of missing jewelry
and wardrobe furniture are, let them at.

York church, and if the men want to know
what has become of all their fine horses,

How common it is, in reading book,
to be struck with the similarity of the
views expressed by the writer with those
we had thought original to our mind -
Here We find recorded in imperishable
words what we know was a part of our
intellectual treasure, before we ever dream
ed of seeing it take this form and sub
stance. With US, these ideas were GARY
forms'-"insubstantial pageants''- "the
baseless fabric of our visions.' Here,
however, in this volume, the thoughts
which "wandered through immensity"
have found ga local habitation and a
name" Yes, it is this simple yet difficult
power of expression which makes the
great difference between ordinary people
and men of letters. An authors genius
is not displayed in giving birth to any
"new thing" He shows it most con-
splcuously when he coins out of his men.

those great and lesser truths, which are
recognized by mankind as part of their
vague, underlined knowledge.
The widest dream of the metaphysician,

tic, has had its counterpart. Language
is but the voice of an universal expert
ence, and it never can be made to give
vent to ne,o thing. 1t is the province
of an author-and it is his alone-to adapt
words to the music of this life. Some
must be harsh and discordant; others,
gentle and sweet as the ripple of quiet
stream over its peoples; others must be
like the moaning of the wind over the pine
trees-mournful with the moan of sorrow.

hold upon affection. 1t is speaking to
that note Of sorrow blended into our be-

Did he represent humanity or nature in
some "new' light? Search his plays, in
vain, for anything new. There you shall
find no one character-not even a fairy
form-not one flower, or bird, or "sweet
air." or "twangling instrument" that
speaks not to each heart from the grave
of experience. 1t is the charm of finding
voice given to the shadowy forms which
people our brain, that makes Shakespeare
stand forth with no rival-no equal
Who has not felt, oftentimes, that the
rarest and sweetest music of his being
must ever be to mankind like the wind
signing over Eolan harps? But here,
in these plays, mighty spirit has MASTER

Whale Fishing In Portland Harbor.

Among the other visitors to Portland,
drawn by the attractions of the ruins
there, was humpback whale about thir-
ty-fve feet long, which swan into the
inner harbor on Monday, and under two
railroad bridges, where he found himself
in shoal water and narrow quarters. A
veteran whaleman at once launched

exciting chase which lasted six hours,
and attracted an audience of fifteen hum
dred people. The whale occasionally ap-
peared above the surface, but several
times came up in full view. Quite
number of rife balls were fred into him
without visible effect. Once harpoon was
thrust into his side, but he dragged the
boat along a few minutes at the rate Of 20
miles an hour, until the harpoon broke
before the boat could get near enough to
launch another. At last, tired with pur-
suit, the hunters fred the bomb lance

The missile struck in the whales back,

he rushed about more frantioally than

OUTRAGEs IN Missouri AND KEN

Louis Republican, dated st. Joseph, July

last, at Wilber's school house, in d.
Kalb county, in which man named Pope,
of Amazonia, Andrew county, was killed,
and another named Metcalf, was MORALLY
wounded. 1t appears that Raw. Mr..

A SINGULAR CAsE.-Mr. Nathan Bel
den, of this city, who on Sunday morn
ing, July 23d, in a fit of mental aberra-
ton cut his throat with razor, severing
both the trachea and the esophagus, was
supposed by his medical attendants to
have inflicted upon himself injuries from
which he must quickly perish-from
want of food and drink, if from no
other cause, since he could swallow moth
ing. Contrary to expectation, however,
he still lives. Yesterday he was able to
sit up. He takes no food or drink, OBJ
jecting to the method by which it must,
if given at all, BIO introduced-viz., by
stomach tube inserted at the wound in his
throat. Rather than to live this way he
chooses to die. How he Gao continue thus
to live without any nourishment, or even
water, seems to be a problem. That he
might live, and possibly even recover, if
he would consent to the artificial method
of introducing broths, g., into his stom-
aoh, there seems to be little Doubt.

DEAD.
The seasons weave their ancient dance,
The restless ocean Gibbs and flows,
The world rolls on through day and dark,
Regardless Of our joys and woes.
Still up the breezy Western slopes
The reaper girls, like apples brown,
Bend, singing to their gleeful toll,
And sweep the golden harvest down;
Still where the slanting sunlight gilds
The poles of cedar and of pine,
Chants the lone blackbird from the brake
With melancholy voice divine;
Still at about the messy tracks
HUNS at the drag the woodward bee;
Still ftfully the corn crake's note
Comes to me from upland lea;
Still round the forest bower she loved,
The woodbine trails its rich festoons;
The slumbrous peoples burst and fall
Beneath the silent Autumn moons.
Still round her lattice, perched aloof,
In sunny shades of matched caves,
The jasmine clings with yearning pale,
Still round the old familiar porch
Her cherished roses blush and peer,
And fill the sunny air with balm,
And strew their pearls year by year.
Nor here within, one touch of change
The footstool-the embroidered chair
The books-the arras on the wall
The harp-the music-all are there.
No touch of change close my eyes
1t cannot be SHE comes no more
hear tue rustling of her dress;
hear her footstep on the floor.
feel her breath upon my brow
feel her kiss upon my cheek :
Down, phantoms of the buried past
Down, or my heavy heart must break.

OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES AN

OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES AN
HoUR.--A gentleman on last Wednesday
dispatched message from this city to
San Francisco, California, over the lines
of the Western Union Telegraph Oompa-
ny, at about nine o'clock in the forenoon,
and received an answer at about three
o'clock on the afternoon Of the same day.
Allowing an hour and half to elapse be-
tween the time of the receipt of the mes
sage in San Francisco at which the an.
swer was started, the nature of the bust
ness requiring at least that long to attend
to it-four and half hours will be left
as the time in which it was transmitted
both ways. The distance between this
city and San Francisco, on the route of
the telegraph line, is from three thousand
two hundred to three thousand five hun
bred miles.
The difference of time between this city
and San Francisco is about three hours,
consequently a dispatch sent from here at
nine o'clock in the morning will reach
that city at about seven the same morn
ing, or, in other words, about two hours
before it was Embellishments Ec-
