RxPEHImESrs WITH RATs WATER.

The Lowell Massachusetts, Courier
says that on the 4th of June, 1898, Mr.
James V. Atkinson, of that city, caught
some rain water from the roof of the
house, put it in the pans and let it settle
for twentySfour hours, and then corked it
up in two gallon dem1ohns. The water
was occasionally tested, and in 1882,
when President Jackson paid visit to
Lowell, Mr.. Atkinson carried some Of the
water to the Merrimae House. and
Gen. Jackson, Secretaries Van Buren
und Woodbury., and other dignitaries
then present, tasted of the water, which
they pronounced equal to any spring
water for purity and sweetness. In
1850 Mr. Atkinson carried some
Of the same. water to Montreal
and Quebec. The Mayor of the last
named city, and prominent men Of both
places, tasted the water and found it per.
fectly palatable. The following year
(1S29) Mr.. Atkinson, about the same
time in June caught water in the same
manner in two hogsheads One of them
an oil hogshead, was not disturbed during
the summer, but was covered up with
rough boards. A film Of oil rose to the
top of the water; and in September, on
opening the hogshead, the water beneath
tie oil was found perfectly sweet The
point made is, that water caught before
the second week in June, will keep q
long time perfectly pure and sweet. Ex-
periments performed since show thai
water caught later viii inYariable grow

Debate ON Ghe Irish Church Question
Its Probable Fate.


Its Probable Fate. ID.
LONDON, June 19.-The debate in the
House of Lords on the Irish Church ques-
ition, creates intense interest. There is a
determination to force division, but il is
not expected before II o'clock in the morn
ing. The chambers are crowded with
spectators. Among those present are the
Price of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge,
and il is apparently their intention to sit
ont the debate. The best calculation
reckoned on the passage of the bill TO Its
second reading by from II to % m,iority.
The general belief is that the II use oi
Lords will strip the bill of its disendow-
ment features and leave disestablishment
only. This is likely to prove more en-
bsrrassing TO 'he ministry than the direct
rejection of the bill.
Rumors are received here of an attempt
TO drive John Bright from the cabinet.
After considerable discussion on the bill
for the disestsblishment of the Irish
Church, the House of Lords att three
o'clock, amid the widest excitement, pro
ceeded to divide on the question, "Shsll
the bill be read the second time" The
result was announced as follows: For 179;
against lac. Majority for 3S. The Wild
est cheering from the Liberal benches
greeted the announcement, which was ta-

On Saturday last, says the Athens,
(Ala.) Post, Mr.. NJ. c. Smyth, of Moores
vile, lost tifty-fye dellars, in small bills,
on the street, and as the town was very
much crowded with American citizens
of African descent" he was fearful OF
never finding it. In the meantime, Rob~
ert Bibb's. Newfoundland dog, "Tasso,'
was missing, and soon he was seen com>
ing down the street with something in
his mouth, which he carried to Mr.. Bib,
who was busy in Mr.. Tisdale's store, and
upon examination, it proved to be the losl
money. But the most remarkable thing
is, the money was not secured in any
thing, but scattered about promiscuously
as the condition Of it showed.

of the conciliatory policy alone re-
mains; and that is the chance aris-
ing from apathy on the part of
white citizens, or the disgust which
some affect because clauses to which
they object are not to be submitted
separately at the election. The ex-
tent to which this contingency af-
fects the position of parties will be
known when the registration, now
in progress shall be completed. If
it proves formidable reality it
will be another instance Of the
power of prejudice and passion,
and of the folly which impels men
to throw away a substantial good
because it does not quite come up
10 their standard of perfection.
