THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.-The first of
a series of united prayer meetings having ref
erence to the approaching council at Rome
was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Lon:
don, on the 1st inst. The Hon. A. Kinnaird
presided, and among those who took part in
the service were DR.. Cumming. the Hon.
and Rev. Baptist Noel, Rev. Prependiary
Auriot, Mr. Robert Baxter and others.
The Rev. Prebendary Auriot prayed that
all the Vaccinations of Rome might produce
confusion, that truth might be brought out,
and many people rescued. The Rev. DIR.
Cumming prayed that mercy might be shown
to the victims of great and ancient delu-
sion, that people might be led to contrast the
Church in Rome planted by st. Paul with
that presided over by its present chief, and
that the days of Romes anticipated triumph
might prove that of her predicted ruin; that
many might be brought out Of darkness into

Mrs. MAUD GURNEY STANTON has Great
ed another furore in New York, eclipsng
even that produced by her monogram dinuer
party of last season. The Sun calls the occa-
sion christening the Crockery," and details
the affair at length. There were twenty
guests who sat down to breakfast at table
covered with white silk bound with pink sat
in. Every article Of china used at the break
fast was purchased in Dresden by Mrs. Stan
ton, having been made to order at the royal
factories. The principal set comprises 250
pieces of light fawn color, each separate piece
or article being embellished with painting
on a blue ground. The shapes Of the plates,
dishes, cups, and urns are very unique and
NOVELETTE, most delicate, exquisite, and re-
cherche little affairs ever seen in America
The quality of the china is, of course, very
fine and by holding plate or cup to the light
it becomes as clear as amber. The soup plates
are square in shape-the latest foreign style
and decorated in the most elegant manner
Fifteen courses were served, followed by the
inevitable German.

Larry is good-natured, civil fellow who
attends to his business and provides well for
his family, but has one little failing, in this
that when he goes to his home at night, lie is
usually more or less under the influence OF
contraband fluids. One night, little after
dark, he started for home with nice turkey
safely done up in strong wrapping paper, un-
his arm. Larry found the road to his house
uncommonly rough that night. He several
times stumbled and fell over all sorts of OBJ
structions in his path. Each time he fell he
dropped his turkey, but contrived to pick it up
again. On entering his house, he steadied
himselfa as well as he was able, and said to his
wife: "Here, wifey, I've got 'leven turkies for
you.n "EIeyen turkies, Larry! what do you
Mean? There is only one" There must be
'Ieyen turkies, wifey, for fell down 'leven
times, and every time l found turkey.

CHINESE ingenuity is marvellously display
ed in the way OF smuggling opium into this
country. Sometimes they use it for wadding
to their coats, stick it under the instep Of
their boots, and incorporate it into confec-
tionery, cakes and bedding. But decidedly
the most original plan was adopted by pas
senger who recently landed at San Francisco.
He had with him number of large cylin-
drical blocks Of granite, so solid in appear
ance that the most of them were allowed to
be taken away from the wharf. Finally,
lynx-eyed officer thought he could observe
difference in the quality at the ends, and, TAX
ing a hammer, he pounded into the discovery
that several packages of opium were packed
into square chamber in the centre. The
orifice had been closed with granite cement.
so closely resembling the original that it had
passed the inspection of the officers. The
property was confscated, of course.

A "DEAD BEAT" entered restaurant in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, a few days ago, and or
dersd and enjoyed all the substantials and del
icacies of the season, winding up with bottle
of wine and twenty-five cent cigar, after
which he asked the proprietor to put it on
the slate, as he had no filthy lucre about his
clothes. The proprietor demonstrated but to
no avail. In passion he leaped over the
counter, collared and presented revolver at
his head, remarking that he would see wheth-
er he would get off without paying for that
dinner. Eyeing the deadly missile little
suspiciously the free and-easy youth inquired: /:
"What is that you hold in your hand ?" some
thing in the melancholy style of Rip Van
Winkle after awakening from his twenty
years sleep. "That, sir" shouted the irate
restaurateur, "is revolver" "Oh, that's a

MIR. INGERsoLL's LEGAL TENDER BILL,
The Boston Advertiser Washington CORE.
spondent says the disposition of Mr. Inger-
soils bill proposing an issue of S44,OOO,oOO
more oflegal tenders is indicative of its sure
defeat. The vote on sending it to the bank
ing committee instead of to the committee of
ways and means was 90 to 81, and as every
body understands that this committee is
against initiation, these 80 might as well have
voted directly to kill tie bill. Not much can
be made, in party point of view, out of the
vote, for Democrats and Republicans were
much divided on every call of the yeas and
nays. The eastern members almost to man
voted for sending the bill to the committee on
banking, while its friends all wanted it to go
to the committee on ways and means.

third, who was hanging in the same manner
as the first at distance Of about eight feet.
In attempting this perilous swing from one so
the other, the "fying man" failed to connect
securely at the end, and fell to the stage,
about fifteen feet.
Instantly there was some intense excite
ment, women screaming and fainting, and
men almost beside themselves with the ex-
citement of anxiety, making scene of uttel
CONFUSION. The unlucky gymnast was taker
behind the scenes inert and apparently un
conscious, but soon the audience was inform

A KIDNAPPED CHILD.-Lately an adver-
tisement appeared in the Boston papers offer
ing reward of $1,000 for the recovery Of a
little girl seven years old, kidnapped from the
st. James Hotel in Boston. A Boston cor
respondent of an inland paper explains the
advertisement by the following painful story:
About nine years ago "sweet sixteener,"
and enjoying an immense income, became in
fatuated with poor handsome young man
named Lewis, whom she married. The fel-
low turned out to be a tirst-class scoundrel.-
Almost from the very day that the matrmo-
nial knot was tied, he acted coldly toward his
wife, but she, loving him With an intense ar
dor, overlooked this GOODNESS with other fail
in2s, and squandered her money on him with
out STINT But the ungrateful dog turned up.
on her. He maligned, insulted and i'll
treated her with a deviish spirit, until she
found herself forty thousand out pocket,
exclusive OF twenty thousand which she had
invested in first-class house in Dorchester,
to please him, and which the couple never oc-
cupied, on account of the eccentrcities of the
man. Her nine years of married life were
years of continued struggle and unhappiness.
The high position the lady held in society
forbade her from making an expose of her
situation, for her pride had already been
wounded. But "forbearance ceased to be a
virtue" and she filed libel for divorce.
About two years ago she refused to squander
any more money on her husband, and he was
too lazy and wickedly inclined to practice his
profession, that of administering pills and ap-
plying plasters. Lewis's sudden transition
from poverty to riches from an humble posi-
tion to one on the top notch of fashionable
society" dizzied him. He played the role of
the millionaire, and, for several years, made
decided sensation. Leaving his wife, he visit
ed Long Branch last season and succeeded in
making the marriageable bellies and girls
there believe that he was Handsome young
bachelor" from Boston. He rode in the finest
turn-outs that the place could afford, and, in
fine, succeeded in turning the heads OF all
shoddy and japonicardum. The parties re-
sided at the st. James Hotel in Boston. The
character of his conduct was not OWNED un-
til it became notorious and scandalous. A
complete gentleman in his appearance, he had
winning ways, and remarkable influence
over the softer seX-so much so that he had
often persuaded his wife out of the notion of
separating from him, which she had time and
time again threatened to do unless he reform
ed. The suit for divorce from him is now
pending. His object in kidnapping the child
was to compel the mother to compromise the
difficulty with him. The unprincipled
scoundrel lett Boston with the child and
many debts behind him. The most serious
charge against him is that Of adultery.

Treachery Defeated

1t will be remembered that before the
Democratic members of the Indiana Leg.
islature would consent to qualify at
the present session, the Republicans
pledged themselves not to bring up the
Fifteenth Amendment until all the leg
islation to carry on the Government
was completed. Al effort was made in
the Senate on Tuesday to evade this ar
rangement by the passage of joint res
olution providing for a joint Conven'
tion of both Houses on May 11th, for the
consideration of the Amendment. This
would have virtually accomplished the
ratification of the Amendment, for the
three fifths quorum required in a sep
arate session would not be needed in
joint Convention. The Democrats pro-
tested, recited the agreement and re-
solved to resign if the resolution was
pushed. Senator RICE, Republican,
regarded the measure as violation OF
the pledges given aud insisted that it
should not be pressed. Seeing that the
Democrats were determined to resign
rather than submit to such treachery,
the friends of the motion finally aban.
