A Revival Traced.

A pastor, since an eminent preacher and
teacher of theology, came to feel so deeply the
condition of his charge that he could not bear
it alone He had thought, wept, and prayed
over it in his closet, and had preached the
great truths of the Gospel with all the energy
he could command, but saw no evidence of a
response from his audience. He now invited
his four deacons to spend an evening with him
in his study. To them he opened his whole
heart They talked and prayed together, and
their feelings were deeply moved. As they
were about to separate, the young pastor re-
quested each deacon to come again week
from that evening, and bring with him one
brother, being careful to select one who would
be most likely to sympathize with them in their
present feelings and purposes. The expected
eight met the pastor at the second meeting,
and the evening was spent very much in the
same way as the first and at the close Of this
interview the same request was made Of the
eight as had been previously made of the four
deacons. At the third meeting, sixteen were
present. Once more, in this way, the meet
ing was doubled at the pastors study; and so
profound were the feelings Of all present, and
so encouraging were the indications of Divine
presence, that public notice was given of the
next meeting, which was held in the chapel
the feeling deepening and extending from
meeting to meeting, until the great congrega
ton was moved, and very large number were
hopefully converted. This great and good
man always traced the beginning of that won-
derful revival to that first meeting with his
deacons. The deacons would pobably have
gone one step farther back, namely, to that
wrestling, and praying, and fresh amounting of
their pastor, alone in his closet, before he met
his deacons.

Hops and Thirty Thousand Hop Pickers in
m Wisconsin,

The Kilbourn City Mirror thinks it has
heretofore estimated the yield Of the hops in
that region too high. It now, since hop
picking began, lowers its estimate to from
%, 900 to 10000 bales, and puts the yield
of the whole State at 40, 900 bales 1t says
of the immense army of op-pickers that
rendezvous in that vicinity:
Probably in all the history of hop pick
ing, since yeast and lager were invented,
there has been nothing to compare with the
scenes that have been going on in this region,
and in Kilbourn City especially, for the last
six or eight days. For two or three weeks
the hop growers have been gathering their
supplies; and the merchants and traders Of
this place, Baraboo and Reedsburg, have
been upon the jump waiting upon their GUS
toners. The first of last week the pickers
began to come in and this week there must
be at least 10000 lively at work, picking
the hops of the region that ships them at this
depot. Of this 10000 at least 10, 900 pass
through this village. Wagon loads of from
eight to fifteen have been almost constantly
passing through town for the last eight days,
generally coming from the north and east,
and crossing the river into Sank County
Of the 10, 600 that pass through this village,
about 5000 come on the railroad from the
east, and stop here"
The Sparta Eagle says there are 1900
acres Of hops to pick in Monroe County
Picking began last week.

A SINGULAR BIRD KILLED IN KENTUCKY.
james Henry, of Mound City, Illinois, on
Sunday week, shot new and mparatively
unknown bird, on the Kentucky shore oppo-
site that city, which is thus described by the
Cairo Democrat:
It is larger than the ostrich, and weighs
104 pounds. The body of this wonderful
bird is covered with snow white down, and
its head is of a fiery red. The wings, of
deep black, measure Is feet from tip to tip,
and the bill, of yellow color, "a inches
Its legs are slender and sinewy, pea green
in color, and measure 4S inches in length.
One of the feet resembles that Of a duck, and
the other that of turkey. Mr.. Henry shot
it at distance of one hundred yards, from
the topmost branch of dead tree, where it
was perched, preying upon full-slzed sheep
that it had carried from the ground. This
strange species of bird, which is said to have
existed extensively during the days OF the
mastodon, is almost entirely extinct-the
last one having been seen in the State Of
New York during the year 1872. Potter
has it on exhibition in his office at Mound
City. Its flight across the town and river
was witnessed by hundreds Of citizens.

Romantic Experience OF a Man with Five
SWGethearts.

In this city certain drug house employs
among its clerks, "a nice young man p
Among his circle of intimate friends, he en-
joyed distinction which though not as en-
viable as less festive youths might covet,
serves nevertheless as wholesale warning
to other rash Adventures in the lists of love,
whose ambitious aspirations cannot be con-
fined to single victory over the affections
Of susceptible femininity, but are ever strain
ed toward other conquests. He brought
his destinations successfully to bear on five
fair damsels of our city. Five several times
did he plight his faith, i've several times
promise his precious hand and heart in mar
riage to five but too eager and too credulous
expectants. The lovely quintette were mu-
tual confdants. One unlucky day, when
taking notes of each others feelings, and di-
vulging the name of the happy gallant who
had extorted the promise Of marriage from
each, they made the startling discovery that
each claimed the man of rhubarb and squills.
How to punish the male coquette The in
genuity of the mother of No. S was not long
at fault Young Bluebeard was politely in
vited to tea He fell into snare. While
enjoying tete-a-tete with No 4, ten min
utes later appeared No. 3, and at similar
intervals the remaining victims. There was
no escape for the terror stricken youth, and
he quai.ed before the anger that flashed
from five pairs of the brightest eyes that
ever pierced a susceptible heart. He did
what drawer men would have done, acknowl-
edge the corn. In extenuation, he pleaded
that his feelings changed in spite of himself;
that he didn't mean to be tickle, but that he
always loved the pretty girl he had hap
pened to see last Of course such logic had
anything but a soothing effect on that awful
council Of uninjured loneliness. Humble,
repentant, crestfallen, and bearing himself
like man with several feas in his ears he
left that cozy parlor sadder and we hope
wiser man There are hints that a sugges-
ton was made by one of the fair tribunal
looking to the application Of a twisted piece
of untanned bovine epidermis to his shoul-
ders, but the prudent Judgment of the dig
nifed matron forbade the infiction of addi-
tional modification Nashville Tenn Ban
