Charlestown, Mass. A lady, who has
suffered lately iron, an Unframed neck,
has been told by her physician that it is
caused by horrid insects called borers,
inhabiting the Hindoo bark braid Of her
chignon. She has cast the chignon from
her aud has her head shaved as smooth
as billiard ball, fearing some Of the vile
insects had taken up their abode in her
natural back hair.

THE CHRISTIANITY OF THE HOUR.

IhG Oi AAiL iiOOs'
From the ~ Y Standard
The May anniversaries which begun with
the celebration of the American Seamans
Friend Society at Association Hall, seem
to point to the present moment as
fitting time to review the Christianity of the
hour. The historian of the future will be
compelled to rely upon the newspapers of the
present for most of his information in regard
to the social and religious condition of the
people of our time. Perhaps the index thus
preserved may point unerringly to the state
of the Christian life and teaching in this era,
but the picture that must be painted from
this reflex of the passing hour will not prove
fiattering one. The quality of the auditory
takes precedence over the words of divine
wisdom which fell upon the ears of the listen
ing multitudes. Everywhere the desire for
sensations in sermoniZing, for music rendered
with almost the elaboration of the lyric stage,
for displays of drapery and dress in rivalry of
an evening at the opera, are sought for and
commented on, and delighted in; while the
worship of the Most High is merely subsi-
! diary matter, retained because it is useful in
| giving to the stage effects of our churches a
more brilliant setting.
In the churches of this city, on Sunday
last, those which are described as fashion
able" are represented as filed to overlooking,
while those which are without fashionable
appointments, and where the worshippers
refrain from mere display of silk attire, are
comparatively empty At the Church OF Oui
saviour the congregation was not over
crowded, nor fashionable, nor yet sparsei
which is not to be wondered at when it is re-

GENERAL FREMONT'S RAILROAD-A
FAIR SHOW FOR THE GREAT PIO-
NEFR


FAIR SHOW FOR THE GREAT PIO-
NEER.
From the NJ Y. Sun
We are glad to learn that the modest re-
quest of General John G. Fremont for the
right of way for his railroad-the Southern
ranscontinental-is likely to be granted by
Congress at its present session.
General Fremont was the great pioneer in
transcontinental travel, already SO important,
and bound within the present generation to
increase q thousand fold. His name is in
separately and imperishably connected with
the very idea of overland communication be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific. And now
he comes before the American Congress and
modestly asks that he may have the right of
way across such of the lands as belong to the
United States Government, for the construc-
tion of railway. He asks no subsidy
though enormous subsidies have been given
to others-but only the right of way, with q
reasonable appropriation of public lands,
which are now uninhabited and worthless.
If distinction was to be made in favor of
any one if a subsidy was to be granted to
anybody it should have been to the great
explorer, who suffered inconceivable hard
ships, privation, want, hunger, thirst, and
cold, and incurred great danger in finding out
the then trackless way from the Eastern to
the Western coast, which he now wishes to
bind together with iron. But General FIRE.
mont makes no request for subsidy, no re-
quest for the money or the bonds of the Gov
ernment, but merely asks for the chance
the room-to construct a great national i'm
provement, together with sufficient grant of
land to enable him to build the road
The right of way-with a munifcent ap-
preparation of land-has already been OBJ
tanned from the great and fertile State of
Texas So it has also from the Territory of
Arizona.
Now what is wanted to complete the route
is only reasonable grant from the United
States of lands still belonging to the Gov
eminent. We hope the grant will promptly
be made. 1t will enure to the wealth of the
nation, and it will be an act of justice to the
great explorer who is the President of the
Company.

HAIL STORMS.
From the N. Y. Times.

From Che M Y. IFIIes.
The great hail storm in Philadelphia on
Sunday was in some respects remarkable, and
did much damage, but it has often been far
exceeded in violence and destructiveness. In
Jackson, La, in 1884, fall of hail not only
beat down houses and trees, but killed num-
bers of cattle, although it lasted for only nine
minutes. During storm in Germany, de-
scribed by the Able Maury, in paper read
before the Royal Society IL 1895, hailstonss
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-05-11

fell that weighed eight pounds and there
seems good evidence that in the storm of
July "a, 1882, at Tussi, a single hail-stone
was found that weighed fourteen pounds, and
that one at least passed through the roof of a
iS"1 house hU;y heynss mes grave statement
during the reign Of Tippoo that was of the
size Of an elephant, is incredible, but that
there have been many hail-stones large
enough to destroy the life of either men or
animals is certain. During the early days OF
California there was a story of q hail-storm
having killed every person In little mining
camp in the mountains save one poor fellow,
who escaped, much bruised and hurt, to tell
the tale. Some meteerologists have supposed
that ships have been sunk by the sudden
weight of these frozen missiles, and that
catastrophes attributed to contact with noun
tains of ice have indeed been caused by that
substance, but coming from vertical rather
than o lateral direction.
Fortunately for mankind, hail-storms are
commonly not only limited in duration, but
confined to very moderate areas. That which
visited Philadelphia does not seem to have
been heard of elsewhere. The great French
storm OF 1888, considered, we believe, the
most severe on record, extended in two
parallel hnes-one of five hundred, the other
Of six hundred miles in length; but the mean
breadth of each was only nine miles, and
this instance is accounted altogether unusual
and phenomenal. Sudden changes of weather,
it would appear, ought, philosophically speak
ing, to produce these storms, since they are
occasioned by the rapid freezing of the water
held In suspension in q warm cur
rent of air on contact with a cold
current in q higher region. Still, although
our climate is 80 changeable and the ther-
mometer so swiftly capricious, especially in
the spring-and although the hail-storms are
in general more frequent in temperate than
In tropical regions-we seem to escape with
very small proportion of them. Other regions
where the temperature is much more equable,
the south of France for instance, are on the
other hand much oftener exposed to these
visitations. Our comparative immunity on
the Atlantic coast is perhaps due to the alb
sence of lofty mountains, which are found to
be strongly conducive to the formation of
hail.

condition we can justly claim the title of
great nation, but that can only be when we
have the necessary fighting power afloat.

HUMOROUS ANEcDoTE ON Col. Tom
BENToN.-It was the opinion of the late
Thos. II. Benton that Solon Robinson's
chief merit, like that of Samson, lay in
his hair. "Fellow citizens" said Col.
Benton once in speech at st. Louis,
the editor Of the New York Tribune,
Horace Greeley, is the whitest man l
ever saw. His hat is white, his coat is
white, his pantaloons are white; he has
white hair and white face, and / think
you will find that his liver is about the
whitest thing about him. The assistant
editor of the Tribune, fellow citizens, is
Solon Robinson. Solon Robinson is an
Irishman, and everything about him is
red. He has red face and red head,
and
Just here the speaker caught sight of
a couple of double-fsted, red-headed
Irishmen standing near, who looked
pretty much as if they would little
rather swallow him whole than not.
"But, fellow citizens" he continued,
II mean no disrespect to my Irish friends
by speaking of red-headed Irishman.
Indeed, l may say as complimented
any such who may chance to be here to
day that / never saw a red-headed wo-
man in my life that wasn't virtuous, nor
a red-headed man, with single excep-
ton, that wasn't honest and it is my
deliberate conviction, fellow citizens,
that If 1t hadn't been for Solon Robin
sons red head he would have been hang
ed long ago.

A HARD WISTER.-The winter Of
1740 is described in an old book quoted
by German paper as very TERRIBLE
This work, Brockes' Contentment in
God," thus speaks Of it: San unheard
of frost seized with extraordinary sever
ity on the world and the elements, so
that it is scarcely possible to number or
relate the many strange occurrences that
took place through its violence. Men
felt SO oppressed that days passed by un-
needed. One would and could hardly
speak; one sat and thought, yet could
not think; if any one spoke word it
was with hard set face. Many hens,
and ducks, even the cattle in the stalls,
died of cold; the trees split asunder. Not
only beer but wine cellars froze. Deep
lysunken wells were covered with impen-
etrable ice. Crows and other birds fell
to the ground frozen in their fight. No
bread was eatable for it was as cold and
as hard as stone." Broke further re-
lates that this extraordinary winter was
followed by anequally uncommon spring.
In May no sign Of verdure was yet to be
seen; it was still cold in July. and veg
citation was then still further hindered
by drought. The harvest was not over
till late in the autumn, and by the mid
die of October the frost returned before
the fruit in the gardens had had time to
ripen.

SEED Corn AND BIRDs.-The late r.
L. Allen, in his American Farm Book, .
says, repeated experiments have dem
onstrated the great utility of stepping
seed corn for one or two days before
planting, in solution Of saltpetre. This
accelerates the growth of the plant, and
is protection against birds, squirrels
and mice, and for while it will keep Of
worms. An effectual remedy against
these depredations, is to add half pint
of boiling tar to peck of seed, stirring
the corn briskly for several minutes, as
the tar is added, till every kernel is thin
ly coated with it. This supersedes the
worse then absurd practice Of scare
crows"
l have successfully practiced the above
method of preparing seed-corn. Some
times the crows have plucked up few
plants, but they did not seem to relish
the taste or smell of tar, and left the
field in disgust. In several instances, l
have known farmers to apply so large a
coating of tar as to prevent the germina-
ton of the corn, thereby causing the dis
agreeable necessity of replanting. To
separate the kernals after being tarred, I
have finely ground plaster-for lack of
that, have made use of Indian meal as a
division.

A Hindoo Sacrifice.

The following anecdote was related by
the Captain of a British regiments
"When in India with my regiment,
we were at one time quartered at place
where there was missionary station
Some of the officers Gas was frequently
the case) having much leisure, and be-
ing so disposed, gave lay assistance to
the clergyman in his endeavors to instruct
the native population. Upon one occa-
sion attended a special service which
had been appointed to precede the cele-
bration of the Lords supper, of which
three advanced proselytes desired to par
take. Upon this occasion the mission
AIRY preached a short sermon upon faith,
the foundation of Christianity, taking
his text from Roman iv. 3-Abraham
believed God, and it was counted unto
him for righteousness" He treated the
subject in plain way, suitable to the
capacity of his hearers, and expounded
the narrative of Genesis xxi. A native
Hindoo had been observed at the service
who, although he had not previously at
tended the instruction of the missionary
was extremely attentive to the sermon.
On the evening of the same day and
brother officer rode some six or seven
miles toward a native village, whence
most of the converts came. Nearing it,
our attention was attracted to crowd of
natives, in the midst of which a large
pile of wood was blazing; and the mo-
notonous tum-tum of the Indian drum
and low, croning wall were audible.
But few words are necessary to describe
the difficulty of teaching Christianity to
race of ignorant people whose minds
are SO governed by external pressons,
and who are so matter-of-fact in prac-
tiee; and still fewer words to describe
the horror we felt when we found that
the strange and attentive native had re-
turned home and literally carried out
the command given to Abraham He
had slaughtered his son, and was now Of
fering him to the big God" as sacri-
fce!'

How MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT.-t'rom
the chapter on menageries, in Olive Lo-
gan's volume, "before the Footlights and
Behind the Scenes we make the follow
ing extract:
Monkeys are such cunning creatures
one would suppose them much more diff
ficult to catch than any other wild ami
mails. Pitfalls will take lion, and the
famished monarch of the desert will af-
ter few days of starvation, dart into
cage containing food, and thus be secur-
ed. But how are the monkeys The
ape family resembles man. Their vices
are human. They love liquor and fall.
In Darfour and Sahaar, the natives
make fermented beer, of which the mon
keys are very fond. Aware of this the
natives 60 to the parts of the forests fre-
quented by the monkeys, and set on the
ground calabashes full of the enticing
LIQUOR. As soon as the monkey sees and
tastes it, he utters loud cries of joy, that
soon attracts his comrades. Then an or
gis begins and in a short time the beasts
show all degrees of intoxication. Then
the negroes appear. The drinkers are
too far gone to dis.rust them for larger
species than their own genus. The ne
groes take them up and theseimmediate-
" begin to weep and cover them with
kisses. When negro takes one by the
hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey
will cling to the one who thus finds
support, and endeavors to go off ALSO

BEEcHER's FIRST SHoT.-Did you

year old, while he hunted through the
fields. How my nerves screwed up when
he took aim and what a crash in my

always painful, and always an irresisti-
BILE fascination. And so, one day, re-
turning home, out ran bold chipmonk,
and coursed along the wall with trailing
tail, then mounting stone, tail cooked
up, he said :-"Hit me, hit me, hit me,
he, he !" F." Here Henry, do you want to
shoot "Yes, sir-no-yes I do"
SECT behind me-let the gun rest on my
shoulder-now take aim-come, pull the
trigger or he'll be off.

or seven squirrels whirling round in the
air. l took aim, but it would not stay

stone wall, great mullen stalk, the
squirrel, and twenty other things all in

ree-ree" went the squirrel as he dived
down, laughing, into a hole.

the same thing with sermon, and feel
as satisfied as | did, To be sure, had
not hit anything, but ! had made a
splendid noise.
