Just closed a p~rOtracted meeting at the
Fairview Church, which resulted In
thirty-two conversions and twenty
eight -accessiOns to the church. The
church is greatly revived and blessed,
and greatly encouraged to go on. The
meeting at London and Fairview re-
suited in thirty-seven accessions to
the church. The Pastor has been
working andpreaching necessarily for
the last five weeks. He will rest a

Anexchange says: We a always
tell what sort of a woman a man mar
ries by the way he treats the printer.
if he gets a common wife he fOrgets
the printer altogether. If he gets a
tolerable good wife he viii send in a
notice Of the marriage. If he gets a
very good one, he will send the prin-
ter a slice of cake accompanying the
notice. If he gets an extra good one,
be will send a greenback with the no.
tice. And if he gets a glorious,
gelic creature-AIl affection and good
ness-he is sure to send the printer a
gold or silver dollar with the notice of
his happiness. No good wife allows
her husband to owe for his paper, and
If their worst half does not attend to
these things. it is a clear case of de-
ception for the man that won't pay
for his paper will deceive his wife,
and we have u opinion of such.

Associate Justices Of the Suprem,
Court.

The President has nominated as AS
sociate Justices of the Supreme Court,
Hon. Joseph p. Bredley and Judge
William Strong. Both gentlemen are
eminently fitted for the responsible
position for which they have been Sc
lected.
Mr.. Bradley is one of the Oldest and
most learned legal gentlemen of the
New Jersey bar, and will, we feel GER
tain, reflect honor upon himself and
upon his Stale in the discharge Of his
new duties.
Judge Strong is a native of SOmers,
in Pennsylvania, and graduated at
Yale College in 1923. While studying
law he was a teacher and assistant ed
itOr of country paper in Connecticut.
In 1880 he commenced practice at
Reading, Berks county, P~ennsylva-
MIA, where he was very successful at
the bar. In 1916 he was e.ec-
ted to the lower house of Congress,
serving four years, when he declined
a reelection. In 1857 he was elected
Judge of the Supreme Court Of Penn
sylvania, a place that he filled with
great credit until 1868, when he retired
and resumed his practice at the bar.
Originally a Democrat, Judge Strong
has been a Republican since the the
war broke out.

HOWARD GLYNDoN, writing of Bayard
Taylor's home at Kenneth Square, Pennsyl-
vania, says: "Bayard Taylor almost lives
in his library. He sits at n long desk-table,
covered with books, papers and manuscripts,
and writes, writes, writes all day, varying
the occupation from time to time by reading,
n very oftensmOlinga as he reads or writes;
but the cigars Of his smoking are of such an
ETHEREAL sort that you wouldn't know he was
smoking one If you didn't happen to see it
between his lips. The chair in which he sits
is covered over with chimeTas in tapestry,
by fingers which are as deft with the pen as
with the needle. They are the same that
translated "The Story of Kenneth into Ger
man. People Will think of her by-and-bye,
when they read the Marie intercarved with
that of 'Bayard' over the free portals of Ce-
darcroft, long after hest and hostess shall
have passed away from the mansion which
the united head and heart of these two have
rendered happy and harmonious in its APP

Large Bodies of Indians on the Move.

OMAHA, Feb, 1.-The HerdId's let
ter from Fort Larmie, dated January
28th, says: A few days ago four Sioux
Indians came in. They report large
war parties constantly leaving the
village. About two hundred lodges
have arrived from the Missouri Res
ervatiOn, and they are now encamped
on the Little Powder River. Roman
Nose, Red Cloud and several others of
the most prominent Sioux chiefs, with
their tribes, are also encamped there,
in all 800 or 700 lodges. What their
object in leaving their Reservation is,
could not be ascertained.
The Indians that came had $500 in
gold coin and q very fine nugget
which they got at the mouth of Beaver
Creek.

A PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
THE SCRIPTURES.-Nicholas Vain,
though a regular Quaker preacher.
was a great wag, and many are the
good things said by him still current
in certain Philadelphia circles. He
was once travelling on horseback in
the interior of Pennsylvania in COM
pany with two Methodist preachers.
They discussed the points of differ
ence in their respective sects, until
they arrived at the inn where they
were to put up for the night. At
supper, VAIN was seated between
the two Methodists, and before them
was placed a pla:e containing two
trout. Each of the circuit-riders
placed his fork in a fish and trans
ferred it to his plate, after which each
shut his eyes and said an audible
grace before meat. The Quaker
awaited himself of the opportunity to
transfer both of the trout to his own
plate, merely remarking, when the
others opened their eyes, "YOur re-
ligiOn teaches you to pray, but mine
teaches me both to match and pray"

November number of Lippincott's
Magazine.
