The Reconstruction Committee has con-
cluded the examination Of the Republican
committee from Mississippi, who produced
data and arguments to show fraud and If

We hope honest ministers are not rare,
yet we sometimes wonder how it is that
many of them reconcile with truth their
deceptive forms of expressions, which are
in the face of obvious facts. For instance,
there is g sanctuary in which quartette
monopolizes the singing, and the minister
rises, hymn book in hand. looks the con-
gregation unblushingly in the face, and
says, $" Let US sing the 173d hymn" The
only honest announcement made in such a
case, which has come to our knowledge, was
in our own hearing, few Sabbaths since,
in the Pearl-street church, Hartford, CT.
The pastor, to our equal astonishment and
delight, announced, +" We ,oiU no,o listen to
the singing of the 361st hymn" And
"listen" We all did, for not soul out of
the choir-loft peeped or muttered. We
commend this new outbreak Of honesty to
all similarly situated, whose consciences
may be troubled by the customary FORM

The Church Monthly, an organ of the

AN EARTHQUAKE VICTIM - SINGULAR
ESCAPES AND DEATH.-On the 10th of No.
yember, died, in Valparaiso, Mrs. Davidson,
one of the sufferers by the terrible earth
Quake of the 18th of August. She was q
widow, and was living at africa with her son
when this catastrophe occurred, he finding
her after the first heavy shock partially
buried under the ruins OF their house
With some assistance she was got out, but
80 badly bruised that she could not sit up.
While they sought further help she was car
ried away by the sea, which began to in
wade the town few minutes before 6. She,
however, had managed to get her arms
through o broken door, and that kept her
atioat. She was washed on to small island
hard by, but the waters left her there
only fifteen minutes. A boat was dispatched
to her rescue by the Peruvian corvette
America it was half full of water by the
time it picked her up, and she had been in
the sea eight and three-quarter hours. The
turbulent state of the waters baf1ed all
efforts to return to the ship; so the men put
their boat out to sea to wait till daylight,
and reached the shore about O'Clock on
the following morning. For three days she
lay exposed to the scorehing rays of the
sun and the cold night dews without any
other shelter than that afforded by COM
mon blanket that her son was able to get.
After an unavailing effort to get to Yalpa-
raise by the mail steamer she reached there
by the Esmeralda on the 9th of Septem-
Der. Every care was taken OF the unfor-
tunate lady, but the shock and attendant
suffering had been too severe for her to bear,
and she died as above stated. yr-----

SHOCKING Academia MAN ROASTED
TO DEATH.-John Britt came to his death
on Saturday night under the most horrible
circumstances, having been literally roasted
alive.
He was workman at J. Y. Rice & Co.'S
iron foundry, where he has been employed
seven or eight years. He has been steady,
industrious man, and not much addicted to
drink, except that he would occasionally 20
on spree on Saturday nights. He had
charge of the stable and of the foundry,
carrying the keys.
On Saturday night number of men
were employed about the foundry later
than usual getting off some work that had
to be finished that night. At about quarter
before 10 o'clock Britt started with the wa
gon to take some castings down to the Dia-
mond State rolling mill. He had been
drinking, and man who went with him
testified that they took drink together
there.
That was the last those about the foun-
dry saw of deceased, but he must have re-
turned and put away the team, as it was
found all right next morning. at about
quarter before ii deceased went to Robin
sons restaurant, near the foundry, where
he got something to eat. He staid there
until about quarter past II, and then went
out with man, to whom he stood talking
until Y o'clock; he remarked that he
thought he saw light in the foundry, and
would go and see what it was.
That was the last that was seen of him
until his children went into the foundry on
Sunday morning to hunt him, and found
his burning body; they ran for the fore
man, who went down to the foundry imme-
diatcly and found Britt's body lying in the
trench, and against red-hot casting, the
body in blaze, and one leg partly burned
off, so that there was no sign whatever OF
the lower part of it except the sole of his
boot.
This trench had been dug the night be-
fore around the rim of large fy-wheel
just cast, SO as TO expose it to the air and
let it cool fast. Deceased knew the wheel
was there, and saw the trench being dug, and
how he ever got into the trench with one
side pressed up against the red-hot iron is
mystery. Though he had been drinking
he does not appear to have been so drunk as
to be unable to control his movements
while he was 80 familiar with the foundry
that he could 60 about it at night without o
lamp. The affair is as mysterious as it is
horrible Wilmington (Del.) Commercial
