A SCRIPTURE CONCIDENCE.- DIR.
Burt, in his book the Far East, just
published, thus notes a remarkable
Scripture coincidence:
The tourist in Egypt, looking for
Bible illustrations, is likely to be dis
appointed when he finds no bulrush-
es" or reeds" answering to those
spoken of in the history of the infant
Moses. No sign of flag, reed or other
aquatic plant appears, either along the
Nile or elsewhere. Yet there must
have been such plants in former times.
ne mUuumvnuo uUpIOU UnUm III gIcdG
variety--the lotus being a favorite.
And the rolls of papyrus found in the
tombs testify to the existence of such
plants, the papyrus having been made
! from the bark Of the paper reed
How interesting to the Scripture stu
dent to find that the Disappearance of
these plants was specifically predict
ed by the Scripture writers Says
the prophet Isaiah: The reeds and
flags shall wither; the paper reeds by
the brooks,b by the mouth Of the brooks,
and everything sown by the brooks
shall wither, be driven away, and be
no more"
But the question comes aohy do not
aquatic plants now grow in Egypt ?
Are not the physical conditions now
existing in this country the same
which have always prevailed? And
does the divine fat now resist natural
laws, for the fulfillment of prophecy ?
| answer that aquatic plantS,-which,
as HerOdotuS testifies, were extreme
ly valuable,-were reared in the time
Of Egypts prosperity, by artificial
means-involving the preparation Of
reservoir and " brooks" :" Thus, too
by means of ponds" and "sluices
the fish were multiplied. And the
prediction of Isaiah relates the de-
struction of the nice arrangements Of
artificial life, on which depended the
country's high prosperity. And how
entirely natural that the bathing place
of Pharaoh's daughter should be q
cultivated garden bordering the Nile
where seclusion could be had.

AWFUL SUICIDE.-The latest and
most horrible form of suicide is that
chosen by young girl in Daaby, ILL.,,
about 25 miles from Chicago, recent
ly. She threw herself under rail
road train which passed over her, sew
ering her head from the body, and
throwing it several feet away, and
also cutting off her feet and crush
ing one arm. The cause of the ter
rible act is said to be the refusal of
the parents to allow the poor girl to
marry a young man to whom she was
attached. A letter was lOund in the
pocket of her dress, directed to her
lover bidding him an afectionate
goodbye. The suicide was commit
ted after dark, and the girl apparent
ly threw herself under the cars in
stead of before the engine.

A BOYS PRAYER.-More than thir-
ty years ago, a goodly minister, illus
trating the efficacy of pray related
the case of a little boy with a sore
hand which had become so bad, that
the physician decided it must be am
putated to save the boys life. The
day was fixed for the operation. On
hearing this, the boy went to retir-
ed spot in the garden, fell on his
knees,and begged God for Jesus sake,
to save his poor hand. The next
day the physician came and examined
the hand, when, to the astonisbment
of all, it was found to be so much
better, that amputation was unneces
sary. The hand got quite well again
the little boy grew up to be a man
and" continued the minister, hold
ing up his right hand, this hand car
now be shown to you as proof thai
God does indeed answer prayer"

aroused IN the early grey of the morning
by faithful negro servant tthe same who
has since attended his broken foriunes),
who had been awakened by the sound OF
firing in the woods The President had not
laid of his elSthes, aud, in q moment, he
had issued from the tent where he had been
sleeping The woods were hlled with
mounted troops, ill-defDed in the mist OF
the breaking morning, and, noticing that
they were deploying, as if to surround the
camp, he quickly imagined their character
and design, and returned within the tent,
either to alarm Mrs. Davis or there to SUBJ
NIT decently to capture. She besougnt him
20 escape, aad, urging him to an opening in
the tent threw over his shoulders a shawl
which he had been accustomed to wear. His
horse, feet and spirited one, was tied to a
tree at some distance. He was within few
steps of the animal that might have borne
him cut of danger when Federal soldier
halted hiEa aad demanded to know if he
was armed.
In relating the encounter Afterwards, in
his prison at Fortress Monroe. Mr.. Davis re-
ported himself as saying, f" If ! were armed
vou would not be living to ask the question"
If he did say so. it was q sorry bravado-
and, as none of his captors appear to have
recollectAd such words of defiance, We are
permitted to hope that Mr.. Davis memory is
at fault, and that he submitted to his fate
really with more dignity than he claims for
himself While he was parlsying with the
soldier, Colonel PriteAard, commanding the
body of cavalry, rode Hp, and, addressing
hi1a By nane, denaaisd his Surrender He
submitted, walked back to the tent, and, in
the presence Of his wife, asked Colonel
Pritchsrd that che might continue her jour
ney. The reply of the Colonel wssthat his
orde-s were to arrest all the party. Mr.,
Davis rejoined with sarcasm: Then, sir,
what has been said is true, your GoverR-
ment does make war upon womenr' These
were the, only words of displeasure or Of
bitterness in the dialogue of the capture.
The unhappy prisoner, after these words,
wes coldly silent. Asking no questions OF
his fate, not intruded upon by any curiosity
of his captors, conversing only with the
faithful and devoted wife from whom he was
not yet divided, and whose whispers of afec-
tionate solicitude by his side were all to
Tighten the journey he rode moodily IN the
cavalcade back to Macon, where first he
was to learn the extent OF his misery, and to
commence the dread career of the penalties
he had accumulated by four long and bitter
years Of war.

Hints on Cooking, etc.


Breakfast Corn Cake--Put cups OF
+ Indian meal Tor l of Rye and one OF lndi-
am, cup Of -four, and I cup of sugar into
dish, and add good sized teaspoonful OF
saleratus. Stir them together a little, then
stir in cups of sour milk, the sou-er the
better, and bake in shallow tin, or ore two
inches deep. AS no eggs or shortening are
used this is very economical, snd, when
rightly made, it Is also very nice cake.
Pudding Sauce: Cheap and Go0d-At
this time, when butter is scarce, or at least
a high priced commodity with US 60 to 10
cents pound for the bsst), pudding sauces
and the like, requiring much butter, are ex-
pensIVe luxuries. 4 lady at our request fur
nished for the AgricuLttr-ist a recipe for
making an economical sauce, which is GER
tainly a good one when made by her. To .
pint of hcC water add one teacupful OF
sugar, butter the size of a vain ut, aud q lis
tie -four thickening previously beaten with
the ycik of an egg. Boil, stirri nIg well, and
while still hot pour into a dish In which the
white of the egg has been beaten to q froth,
stirring thoroughly together; ia vOT to the
taste 1t will be found of very lig httextures
and agreeable taste, superior to ttlaf Eaads.
with the use of much larger gu; IAEity OF
butter, and of course q good deal cheaper
and more easily digested.
Goldfish BaILs-Soak and boil th Q fish,
for ordinary fish cakes This is to be done
over night In the morning boil and mash
potatoes, and while warm mix well with the
fish, and mix into balls. In the mean tirae-
have lard heating in frying pan, and when,
this is boiling hot drop in the fish balls, and
cook to light brown. The balls should be.
as hot as possible, or they will cool and thens
absorb the fat, which will spoil them. There
should be sufficient lard for the balls to swim
IL.
Potato Yeost-Contribute by a lady who
says she lean safely recommend it, as she
never uses saleratus for raising bread, nor
has any sour" To z of cup Of hops, add
quart of water; when boiling, pour it on
one cup of raw potato, grated; to that add
cup of sugar, cup of SALT and when cool
add cup of yeast to raise it. The salt in the
yeast seasons the bread enough.
Picking for Hams or Beef-For each
100 lbs coarse salt, lbs. brown sugar, 2
ounces saltpetre, ounce soda or saleratns,
and 4 gallons water. Boil and skim the
mixture, let it cool, and when cold pour it
upon the meat, which should be weighted to-
keep it down. Leave common sized hams
ia pickle to 5 weeks.
Floating LsLaTd.-Beat the whites only OF
five eggs, until they form stiff froth, then
add little at time, four spoonfuls of pow
dered loaf sugar, and currsnt jelly, or
syrup of any kind of preserves. Put rich
milk or a custard with the yolks in the bot
tom of glass or china bowl and put the
float on top.
gar, l cup sweet milk, butter the size of an
egg, 2 teaspoonsful cream of tartar, / of So
da, little nutmeg, and -four enough to roll

each, then drop them into hot fat and fry to
q light brown.

Debate in the English House of Lords.
By Atlantic Gable.
Continuation of debate in the House of Lords,
published on one of our inside pages.-ED.
EVE. TEL.
LONDON, June 1S.-Earl Kimberly defended
the principle and details of the bill, and believed
the concurrent endowment inexpedient and inn
possible. Total disestablishment and disendow-
ment was the only measure which could remove
the grievances complained of. The opposition
contended that land and not the Church was the
real grievance. Was it unfair to remove one
grievance because another existed which might
hereafter be legislated upon.
The Bishop of Ripon opposed the BILL and the
Duke of Cleveland supported it if amendments
could be made.
Lord Redesdale opposed the bill, especially the
clause depriving Irish Bishops of their seats in
the House of Lords Rather than reject them,
the Episcopal Bench would consent to admit
Romish prelates to sit with them.
The Duke of DevOnshire favored the bill, and
the Marquis of Salisbury said that while he in-
tended to v0te for the second reading of the bill
he did not wish to commit himself to all the de-
tails of the measure. He strongly objected to
the attitude Of the House with respect to the
motion. The nation deemed the assertion that
the Lords in asserting to the will of the nation
express subordination to the Commons as false.
If that were the fact, it would be better for
the House of Lords to disappear as q co-ordi-
nate branch of the Government The object of
second house was to supply omissions and rec
tify the defects of the first. In many cases the
House of Commons only represents the nation
n theory In a majority of cases the Lords
must decide for themselves, butwhen the House
of Commons and the nation agreed on q given
point, the functions of the House of Lords passed
away, and the responsibility deyolves on the
nation and house.
We might fairly accept this decision without
abnegation of duty. Opposition to the decided
opinion of the nation could only delay the in
evitable issue, and create period of disturbance
and discomfort He thought the bill under dis
cussIon illiberal and injurious, and he did not
believe the amendment would be 0ontemptuously
disregarded by the House of Commons, as has
been intimated. He thought governments of a
large majority gave prospect of unpre-
cedented success, but the nation would
soon turn against Ministry displaying domi-
neering spirit. Admitting any amount of arro-
gance in Mr.. Gladstone, the House of Commons
might consider its own present position as COM
pared with its ossible position if the bill was
rejected. Nothing would be more fatal than
such policy. The contest would then be car
ried on under disadvantage, and the House OF
Lords would fiji ally have to give way.

Special Despatch 70 The BUeninq Telegraph
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-It is understood here
that the Attorney-General endorses the action of
United States District Attorney Pierpont and
Marshal Barlow in arresting the Cuban Junta in
New York. When asked to-day by gentlemen
what he thought of the matter, he replied that
the Cubans should have been arrested long ago
that they were guilty of an open breach of
neutrality laws and that if allowed to go on
they would eventually get us into trouble with
Spain.
The Celebrated McCsarryhan Claim
was argued this morning before the Attorney
General by General Tom Ewing and Judge
Dent for the McGanayhan case, it having been
referred to the Attorney General for an opinion.
1t is thought he will decide against McGanayhan.
Commissioner Delano
is considering the propriety of adopting new
stamps for tobacco, and also new method of

The Arrested Cubaus.
The agent of the Cubans here, Mr.. Ruiz, after

night relative to the arrest of the Cuban Junta in
New York, left this morning for New York. 1t
is understood that Secretary Fish positively re-
fused to interfere in the matter.

prove fatal cuts in the neck and side. medical a.
tendance was Immediately rendered, puI MS condl-
ton was such this morning that ms recovery is
deemed improbable, From all the particulars which
can be obtained it seems that Dugan was with
party Of men who were standing on South street,
below Seventh about a quarter OF III O'Clock. JohG
Gillespie, in company with three women, was pass
ing down South street, and when he reached this
crowd an atercation ensued. Gillespie states that
the women were insulted, when he attempted TO re-
sent it, and was then set upon and beaten. The
women screamed murder, and their cries had the
effect OF attracting large number OF people.
Policeman Nixon, OF the Third district, was soon
on hand, and from representations made that Gil
espie had been OF the crowd, took him into GUS
tody. At this time High Constable Curley came
along and took charge of the prisoner The feeling
against Gillespie very bitter and the crowd as
sembled around him with drawn pistols and knives
one of the pistols was discharged. High Constable
Curley, after allaying the excitement, wanted TO
know what Gillespie had done, to which he received
the reply that he had beaten man. The officer then
wanted some one TO appear against him, when Thos.
Doyle, the keeper of tavern in that vicinity, re-
sponded that hs would make the charge Not know
ing that Dugan had been stabbed, Curley took Gill
lespe before Alderman Dewitt, where bail was en-
tered in 5000 for his appearance at O'Clock this
morning. Subsequently Dugan was picked up from
the sidewalk the blood pouring freely from wounds
in the neck and side and taken to the hospital.
Gillespie did not make his appearance at the
appointed time this morning. Warrants were then
procured and placed in the hands OF the detectives
who are now engaged in hunting him up. When
arrested last night Gillespie was not searched, so
that it is impossible at present. TO say that he did
the deed. The wounded man is lying In very pre-
carous state at the Hospital and no one Is allowed
10 see him, The attending physicians think that he
cannot live through the day.

HOWELL FINN a. Co. IN THEIR NEW QUARTERS.-
Our readers well remember the occasion OF the dis
astrous conhagration at the handsome white marble
buildings at the southwest corner OF Ninth and
Chestnut Streets few months ago, at which several
lives were lost. The origin OF this fire. which led TO
a scientific investigation, is as much involved in
mystery as on the night Of It's occurrence BY this
confaglation, the firms OF Howell, Brothers & Co.
and }. E. Caldwell Co. were heavy losers, nothing
being left OF their buildings save the walls, which
were IN SO tottering condition that they We're I'M
IAedlaIely pronounced dangerous The firm OF

ing thelr structure, and in few hours scores OF

commenced. Ihis was dificult task, but by the
ad OF modern appliances the laborers, who were at
WORK nlght ana day, had the walls soon on level
with the second moor. The re-erecting was then
begun, and so rapidly the labor performed that
the firm OF Howell, Finn Co. enabled to tak ke
possession OF their new quarters couple of weeks
since. Their business was scarcely interrupted a
day, for with that spirit OF progressiveness which
has ever marked their career, they secured other
quarters and thus able to supply the extensive
demand for their goods The feat OF reconstructing
the destroyed buildings In so short time is one OF
which Philadelphia artisans may well feel proud,
and reflects credit well upon the hrm OF Howell,
Finn Co., who have been the means OF adding
another TO the already many handsome business
structures which adorn philadelphia Thelr entire
building Is now completed, and every department OF
their extensive business IL in ful working order
Messrs Caldwell Co. will take possession OF theii
