at the moment when the interests of all
nations are fused together and mutually

CATION.
The petition states that in the year
lS47 there was an incorporated religious
body in the city known as the Emame El
Congregation; and another known as the
Bnai Birth Society; that both congrega-
tions were organized for the purpose of
worshipping God according to the true
principles of Judaism; that in 1852 it
was resolved by them to unite the two
into one body; that the union was formed
on October II, 1852, under the name of
Bnai FL Congregation, and all the pro-
perty was ordered to be transferred to
the trustees of said unincorporated Bnai
Ell Congregation, which was done; that
the Emame FL Congregation, for the
purpose of providing suitable burial
place for its members and their families,
on the Sth of April, lS48, through its
trustees, purchased of Green Erskine
and wife tract of land on Pratte
avenue. That the trustees have re-
fused to perform their duty in
transferring said property to the Bnai Ell
Congregation, and the title has ever since
remained in them as Trustees of the said
Emame Ell Congregation. That John
Fruchte did, on July 30, 1850, convey TO
Daniel Block, Solomon Steiner and
Abraham Steiner, as Trustees for the
Bnai Birth Society, a lot of ground in the
Mackenzie tract, and containing one
acre. That in 1852 the Society ordered
the Trustees to convey said lot to said
Bnai FL Congregation, and that on the
18th of April, 1859, Abraham Steiner and
SolomoR Steiner did make deed to the
Trustees of the said Congregation. That
many of the Trustees and their heirs are
residents of distant places. The petition
prays that the title to the property may
be vested in the plaintiff.

matches in the lower story, took them to

the family discovered the mischief, and
on going to the room found the bed in
flames and the monkey dancing about
the floor in high glee over the fun he was

to enter Germany, the best way for them
was to pass out between Strasburg and
Basle, for there is no fortifcation there;
then to silence the fortifcation of Ras-
tadt with division, and to march on

THE MITRAILLEUR.
The Most Destructive Military
weapon known.

The Mitrailleur, which is as yet untried
in practical warfare, is considered by the
French as the most destructive military
weapon known. Recently three hundred
wretched horses, already condemned to
the poleax, were purchased at the rate OF
four or five francs each, and ranged at a
considerable distance Two mitrailleurs
were brought to play on them, and in
three minutes after two discharges not
one of the animals remained standing.
On a second occasion, FIVE hundred
horses were brought down at single
trial. This formidable weapon is CON
structed as follows:
1t is a light 37-barreled gun, arranged
that its barrels may be discharged stimuli
taneously or consecutively. The 81 cart
ridges, igtapded for one charge, are con-
t.ined In d small boy. A steel plate,
with corresponding holes, is PLACED on
the open box, which is then reversed,
and the cartridges fall points foremost
into their respective holes. They are
prevented froh falling through by the
rims at their bases. The loaded plate is
then introduced into the breech-slot, and
when the breech is closed by a number
of steel pins, pressed by spiral springs,

Henry Ward Beecher ON Prayer.
From the New York Standard

1t seems to me that there is very little
enjoyment in prayer. There are times
when men are driven to God, but ordi-
nary prayer is much of it machine work;
prayers are made acknowledgements
at morning and night because it is morn
ing and night, and they are brought up
to pray at that time. There is no per
son but knows how pleasant it is to be
greeted in the morning. In a loving
family, when the members come down
to breakfast, what royal time they
havel And when they meet after being
separated all day they have another royal
time. Men are good deal like birds,
they sing most night and morning. Now
we should pray as we greet our friends,
not because it is time, but because the
heart overfows. The reason so many
fail in prayer is because they don't know
what liberty is. People commence their
prayers with Inscriptions of praise to God,
and call Him holy and glorious, not be-
cause they feel it, but because that is
the way We ought to pray as we con-
verse with dear friend If ] go home
not in conversational mood, don't talk
to my wife or children. If | go to God
with nothing to say / don't pray. This
used to worry me, but | have learned
better. 1t is a glorious privilege to go
to Christ and say just what we feel, to
meet Him as the disciples did at the
close of day and hold familiar conversa-
ton with him. Written prayers are not
elastic enough; they don't 60 up and
down through all the moods and swells
and tides Of human experience. Most
people are taught to pray with venera-
tion. To be glad in prayer seems shock
ing to them. Laughing in prayer would
seem too dreadful to be thought of; yet
the old Hebrew saints expressed their
Joy in the psalms almost in turbulent
manner. They had better idea of wor-
Shipping God than many an ascetic saint
of today. Many people come to God
only through veneration. | cant come
that way at all. Everything sparkles
when | think of God have a genial,
familisr feeling, as if ] could lay my
hand on the hand of Christ ! want to
speak to God of my arrangements, of the
frolics Of my children. AS God made
the whole soul we should not be afraid
to show Him all its emotions If God is
S-eat He is also our father, and what
children do on earth in the presence of
a tender father, that we may do before
God IF we do not feel like praying we
need not go 10 God with an elaborate
apology, but simply tell Him what is ~
our hearts, whether it is more o. iess.

EngIaaa's Interest in the War.


In urging that every effort should be
made for the maintenance of peace, we
are moved more by moral considerations
than by those of traditional European
policy. We may say a. once that we
care very little about the balance Of
power, which within the last two or three
years has Significantly disappeared from
the preamble to the Mutiny act. A war
between France and Prussia would be a
war for the left bank of the Rhine, and
would no doubt be fought out until the
capacity of the one to conquer or of the
other to defend that debatable land was
fully decided. The military result OF
such a war would affect us but little.
The time has passed when it could mat
ter to England whether any Western
power possessed few square miles more
or less, or the command Of this or that
fortress. Since the last settlement
of Europe, States have come to
maturity in the world which threaten
to dwarf the ordinary members Of
the European system. Russia and the
United States are the powers ghiph tho
next generation will look upon ss the
most formidable. mOltoNtFl iHc inteItsle
and attention Of England are chiefly
concerned with her own growing col
onies, and with the vast population Of
Asia iTheresult Of a Franco-Prussian
war Is Of very little moment to us politi
cally, but we have an interest in com
mon with the whole of Europe, that the
two most advanced nations of the Cont
nent should not plunge into a contest
the effect Of which may be to divide them
for a generation BY an enduring hatred.
How much the real strength Of civiliza-
ton may lose by such a convulsion it is
impossible 70 foretell. We eau only. be
certain that the importance Of Western
Europe, the principal field Of human
progress, will be diminished, perhaps
permanently, by a fratricidal strife.
