FIFTY FOURTH ANNIvERsARY OF DIR. BACH-
MAN's-Rev W. ". Hicks, D. D., late elected assis-
tant pastor of the English Lutheran Church, preach
ed most eloquent and appropriate sermon yester-
day. on the fifty. fourth anniversary OF Dr. Bachman g
ministerial services in that church. His text was
taken from tho 18th chapter Of Exodus aud the 11th
verse: "And it came to pass, when Moses held up
his hand. that Israel prevailed; and when he let
down his hand. Amalek prevailed"
We should perhaps de the eloquent divine iDjus'
tice by anything like an attempt to sketch the SER
mon, or even to transfer the most e'oquent and
striking passages to paper To be appreciated IN all
its force and power, it should be heard The occa.
sion was one OF deep interest and impressive solem-
nifty, which was felt and exhibited by all, both
preacher and congregation.
His illusions to the aged pastor who had faith
fully and effectively administered the word Of li.o
to ts people for the last half century, were touch
ing.y pathetic, and brought tears to many an eye
unused to the melting mood. The graveyard Of
memory gave up its dead, and the mind of many
travelled back 10 other times which now lie moulder
,ng beneath the mossy Ln,bstones OF the unfor.
gotten past And there Stood their Moses tottering
and feeble with age, whose hands they had held up
and WHO Ind led them from Bethel to Jericho, and
from Jericho they were approaching Jordan
: The house was densely crowded, and the eloquent
speaker did full justice to the solemn and impress
sve occasion, holding the Iapt attention of his
audience from beginning to end. The battle of
Rephidim between Israel and Amalek was striking
ly portrayed representing the battle between the
church and its enemies Of the present day.
At the close Of the sermon, DR.. Bachman delivered
his ftyfourth anniversary discourse which was re-
plete with touching pahos faithful e1hortation. and
fatherly advice, He spoke of the triumphant march
of us Lutheran Church, until 1t now included o
membership of forty millions, perhaps as many as
all other Protestant denominations combined. In
the recent erection Of a monument to Luther, at
Worms the whole Protestant world sympathized
with the movement and, to great extent, aided In
its accomplishment. In conclusion, he paid merit
ed compliment to the assistant pastor, and said that
he was the man Of his choice. and that the con-
eregation had unanimously confirmed his selection.
It Is no mean honor to b, worthy of the mantle OF
Bacbman and may the assistant pastor be the Elisha
upon whom it may fall.

AnecdOte Of King Louis, Of Bavaria.

The following anecdote is related as
having occurred quite recently. King
Louis, of Bavaria, not only holds the
dramatic art in high esteem, but has a
great liking for the society Of performers.
On the day Madame Cramer completed
her fiftieth year on the stage, the king
gave her benefit, and after the perform
ance, the other actors and actresses enter
tanned her. The king, hearing Of this,
took it into his head to surprise them by
his unexpected presence. Madame Cra-
mer, whose back was turned towards the
door, could not of course see the king en-
ter the room. The king stepped quietly
up to her, and put his hands over her eyes,
and said, "Guess who it isl'
"Ahp said Madame Cramer, "you
again, Monsieur L.? you certainly do
initiate the king most delightfully."-"
go, does he ?" said the somewhat aston
ished king. ~ should rather like to see
the performance. Go on, Monsieur l.,
and let me Judge for myself Of the truth
fulness of the imitation"
IL trust your majesty will excuse me-"
replied the abashed actor.
But the king persisted in his demand,
and after several refusals he added, 81
desire it, and the king commands it."
The actor bowed and took his seat at q
little table, and called out in voice which
was an exact imitation of the kings
"Desire my private councillor, Riedl, to
come to me-"
every good, indeed!" exclaimed the
king.
"What does your majesty want ?''
asked the actor, speaking through his
nose.
"Capital!" exclaimed the king, laugh
ing; "you initiate my councillor even
better than you did me; you are an
excellent comedian, as Madame Cramer
said"
"Riedl," continued the actor, I" be sure
you send to morrow two hundred forins
to Monsieur II he is a deserving
fellow-a better mimic l never heard"
"Scamp!" exclaimed the king, laugh
ing, "enough of that performance you
shall have the two hundred fiorins, but ]
shall take care not to ask you for a repeti
tion of If -
