MURDERoUs ASSAULT IN CHURoH.-On
Sunday, October 18th, at the town of Canton,
Ohio, while the congregation was assembling
in the German Reformed Church, most
desperate and deadly assault was made by
Ferdinand Hoffman upon the person Of his
divorced wife, Caroline Yost. Approaching
her in the choir, he demanded few moments
conversation, which being denied, he asked
her TO kiss him, and while in the act of doing
so, he stabbed her with butcher knife
three times in the breast, and eight times In
the abdomen and on the limbs. The scene
was terrible. The heart-rending screams Of
the women, and the shouts OF the men as
the assassin fled from the scene of his assault,
were exciting in the extreme. The murderer,
with the butcheT-knlfe still in his hand,
streaming with the blood Of his victim, at
tempted to reach the railroad, pursued by
maddened and excited crowd, and was ar
rested in his flight by stalwart country
man, who compelled him to surrender. The
excitement at this point was intense, and
the general demand was that the monster
should be lynched on the spot. Prudent
counsels prevailed, and he was marched to
iail. At one point, the agonized mother of
tile unfortunate young woman confronted
the crowd, and, with large sized stick beat
the prlsoner over the head, while, at the
same time, he was beaten indiscuminately
by parties in the crowd, and another demand
was made for his immediate hanging. He
was, however, safely lodged in Jail. The
excitement is still very great, and numerous
threats are made to take the prisoner from
Jail. II is doubtful whether the lady can
recover. Hoffman is a desperate character,
and was released but ten days since from
the State prison. His only regret is that he
did not kill her at once.

RELIGIOUS TROUBLES IN JAPAN.-A cors
respondent of the Friend of China writes
from Nagaskai, July 10, as follows
"There is likely to be some trouble here
in consequence of number of villagers
having petitioned the government to allow
them to embrace the Roman Catholic reli-
gion. This has given great. offence to the
Japanese officials, who have arrested and
imprisoned some sixty or seventy people.
For the last SIX days the officers, with a body
of soldiers, have been searching for those
suspected of being of foreign religion, who,
when found were carried off to prisons
Thus the native town has been In a great state
of excitement for several days. / hope il
will not lead to some foreigner being cut
down by Japanese fanatic when arresting
those who signed the petition. A French
priest, dressed as a Japanese, was discover
ed preaching. Him the soldiers carefully
avoided, well knowing he was Intentionally
in the way, and would for his cause sake
suffer himself to be cut down, so as 10 be
vaunted among the holy army of martyrs.
He, however, was so alarmed that he did
not come home for one night, but slept on
the mountain, thus making fine capital for
his religion. So high was the fear Of being
suspected of the prescribed religion, that
Mr.. Lindon could not prevail upon any of
the Japanese coolies to carry two bags of
rice he gave as a present for the relief Of
some poor children living in the vicinity Of
the Roman Catholic chapel. Doubtless the
trouble has been courted by the priests, SO
as to bring the French consul to take the
matter up. A few French men-of-war may
be expected here shortly, and an explanation
or satisfaction demanded; if not gwen, or
if there should be undue hesitation, then
threatenings, and probably suspension o
trade for few months"

STORIES ABOUT WHITE ANTS.

travellers in the East have told some won =
derlul stories about the ravages committed
by the white ant, but the following from an
English magazine, is the latest
IAN old story is largely credited in India
in regard to the voracity of the white ant.
A gentleman having charge of a chest of
money, placed it on the floor, where it was
speedily attacked by these destructiyes who
soon annihilated the bottom of the box and
the bags containing specie, which fell piece by
piece into the hollows of the termites' burrow
Just underneath the floor where the box was
laid. When the com was demanded Il was
not to be found, but attacks of the ants were
incontestible, and the story got abroad that
their teeth were capable of devouring metal
Some years afterwards when the house waa
undergoing repairs, the whole sum was found
several feet deep in the earth in the midst of
the ant nest. White ants once attacked a
British ship of the line, the Albion. She
was obliged to put into port in consequence,
and had to be broken up.
"Ihese creatures are much relished aslood
by the natives of the interior of India. as

migration of ants, two holes are bored ln
the earth opposite each other; on the lee
ward side pot is placed, which has been
rubbed with aromatic herbs; on the wind
ward side fire is made, the smoke of which
drives the insects into the pots. These cap
tured victims are then carefully fastened in,
dried over the fire, and ground into -four,
and made into pastry which is sold to poor
people, but which, if used abundantly, pro.
duces, dysentery. AT the time of the migra-
tion of the ants in Africa, myliads of them
fall into the water, when the natives skim
off the surface with calabashes, then grill
them in iron cauldrons over large fire, stir
ring them as coffee is stirred. The natives
eat them by hundreds without an accom-
paniment or other preparation, and consider
them very delicious. They are said to re-
semble in taste sugared cream, or sweet
almond paste. The Hottentots eat them
very greedlly when boiled, and grow plump
and fat on the food They also consume the
pup@ of the ants, which they call rice, on
account of its resemblance to that grain.
They cook these in a small quantity of water.
A large nest will sometimes yield bushel
of the pupam.

THE MORNING WATCH.
BY JEAN IEaKIow.

And just dropping under;
And every star is gone but three,
And they hang far asundsr;-
There's a sea ghost all In gray,
A tall shape Of wonder.

The night ia not ended;
But look how the sea ghost comes,
With wan skirts extended,
Stealing up in this wtird hour,
When light and dark are blended.

Her happy course she's keeping;

Some were pale with weepingj
Some with their hearthunger sighed;
She's inland they are sleeping.
OF now with faneied greetings blest,
They comfort their long aching;
The sen of sleep bath borne to them
What would not come with waking,
And the dreams shall most be true
In their blissful breaking.
The stars are gone, the rose-bloom comeH--
No blush of maid is swester;
The red sun, half way out of bed,

None tell the news, yet sleepers wake,
And rise, and run to meet her.
Their lost they have, they hold; from pain

How natural is joy, my hearth
How easy after sorrow
For once, the best is come that hope

MAINE is a State that has, for its size,
large amount of valuable water privileges.
1t IS estimated that there is enough water
power in the State, if properly employed, to
support five millions of people. In the
southern part Of the State the water-power
amounts to at least 100000 horse power,
and nearly every town has at least one and
sometimes many mill privileges.

TESTIMONY In court Is very curious thing,
sometimes, and can be made to appear very
differently according TO the aspect in which
it is viewed. In Newark police court, re-
Gently, woman made complaint against her
husband for an assault and battery, and ex-
hibited bunch of hair which she stated he
had pulled from her head. The husband
however, testified that his wife had been
keeping this same bunch of hair for years
and had frequently exhibited il IN court be-
fore to prove similar charges. The cour
dismissed the case.

MY LOVE AND L.


And we sat in the quiet evening,
All alone. my love and I,
And she played on her organ softly,
And listened silently,
For she sang me gay song sweetly,
Like chorus Of wedding chimes,
And oh in the music ringing,
Came the thought Of other times.
In a dream was still beside her,
In the summer woods and dslls,
And led her on iu the sunlight
To the sound of village bells,
And she sang me gay song sadly,
That was soft and sweet aud low,
OF the good books golden promise,
That wine and oil should now.
In dream l was still beside her. ~
And saw yet the same,
Though the promise was for others,
And those good things never came;
Then she sang me an old song softly,
Like Sigh from a dying breath,
And twas only the worlds old story,
OF love and lie and death.
Aud thought as sat beside her,
As heard her gently sing.
That with such sweet thrilling voices
The choirs of angels ring.
So we sat in that quiet evening,
All alone, my lows snd 1,
Aud she played on her organ softly,
And listened silently.

MEETING OF Two BRoTHERs AFTER SIXTY
YEARS SEPARATIoN.-Many of our citizens
know by sight or personally, Mr.. Joshua
Collins, colored citizen, aged now eighty
two years, who has been for nearly twenty
years resident of the city, holding during
that time many positions Of trust, and who
is now employed as an agent for Mr.. George
Johnston, in charge of a coal yard on Water
street
Joshua Collins and his brother Solomon,
the subject of this sketch, were born of slave
parents; Joshua in Fleming county, Ken
lucky, in 1885, and Solomon IN Mason coun-
ty, same State, in 1907. Six weeks after
Solomon's birth, Joshua, who was then
about twenty-five years old, was sold to
parties in Virginia, and bidding adieu to his
'0ld Kentucky home, " and his parents and
brothers and sisters, removed to Virginia,
and thence in 1917 to Knoxville, where he
remained, being sold and resold several
times, till 1649, when he purchased himself
for 5000, and moved to this city in 1850, where
he has since resided, hale, hearty and re-
spected by all who knew him.
Solomon who was a sickly child, aged six
weeks, when his brother Joshua was sold
away, grew up to manhood, and when In
his thlrtieth year ran away from his master
in Kentucky, crossed the Ohio river near
Maysville, Kentucky, came to this city, and
in company with two other refugees, was
placed aboard the through train on the under
ground railroad and was safely landed IN
Canada, where he resided for nearly ten
years, when, in hopes of bettering his con.
dition he cmigrated 10 the West Indies,
settling at Kingston, Jamaica, where he
resided for nearly twenty years, working
on u sugar plantation till last fall, when
the ffosts OF many winters having left
their traces in snowy whiteness on hi:
scanty locks, he turned his steps homeward
to America, now the "land of the free, ,
in the hopes of finding here some of his re
latives. He arrived in New York last May
and working his way westward arrived in
this city on Friday last, and on Sunday
while walking along our streets, the two
brothers, Joshua and Solomon, met for the frs
time in sixty years, and for the first time sine,
Solomon was an infant six weeks old, ant
Joshua was young man of twenty-five.
The meeting on Saturday was purely &c
cidental. AS each was walking along TIL
street, Joshua, with the civility and kindnes
for which he is noted, addressed Solomon
recognizing him as a stranger in the city
