finds its water-brook there.
But sometimes the hart pants too much for
public endurance and the chairman tries to
shut of the water brook. An incident like this
happened only the other day. worshipper,
endowed to an unusual extent with the power of
praying, pumped down on his knees, and heed
less of the flve-mipute signal (meant to restrict
the loDg-winded), went praying without
giving any evidence Of letting up, The more
he prayed the more he perspired, aud the wrest-
lings of his spirit were evident in the purple of
his complexion and the working of his fingers.
In vain the leader of the meeting tinkled his
bell, and finally in despair gave out the first two
lines OF popular hymn; In vain the congrega-
ton started the tune, and sang the hymn to its
conclusion. The pleader prayed on, and at
length dim murmurs of 'put him out" (such as
you hear at theatre when some one In the
gallery bursts into horse-laugh at the wrong
ime) began to spread over the house. Even
his did not affect the man upon his knees
piritually speaking, he remained unput out
nd the only remaining remedy was to phys

ccomplished, and two policemen of serious
urn of mind stood at the door to prevent his
eturn.

of theft against Broadway jeweller. In some
respects this is one of the most remarkable cases
ever brought before a New York court. It is
rendered so by the publicity attaching to the
name of ber husband as being the manager of
the Bowery Theatre, and by the extreme candor
which characlerizes the lady's confessions. o

of his vests are made of black satin to the latest
charge upon which he made his appearance In
court II Is therefore interesting to learn that a
person named George w. Pierce has been trying
to blackmail him in the sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars The plan he took was to send
anonymous letters and to threaten Eries life If
the sum is not forthcoming. Damocles jack

Mr.. Fosters Thirteenth Temptation.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Joseph G. Foster came
to this city from Philadelphia, accompanied by
his daughter, and took board and lodging with
Mrs. Tisdale, in Brooklyn. His ostensible
reason for leaving Philadelphia-that paradise
of separate homes where they call rubbers
''gums," and indulge in other one-syllable mon
strosities-was the superintendence of and the
produStion of that spectacular chef d'eaore, The
T,oe,pe Temptations at the Grau Opera House.
According to Mrs. Tisdale's affidavit, Mr.. Fos-
ter, while causing the pubkc to succumb to his
Tsoelue Temptations, succumbed himself to
a thirteenth one, and that was not to pay his
board. She therefore procured an order
for the attachment of his portion Of
the property connected with the theatre, such
as scenery and wardrobe, and also of his share
of the proceeds of the piece. don't pretend to
know the merits of the case, and can only say
that when they have New York or Brooklyn
landladies to deal with, Philadelphians who are
not lawyers ought to borrow portion of that
sharpness which is generally supposed to attach
to members of the legal profession hailing from
the City of Brotherly Love- Mr.. Foster, If
remember Alright, used to be one OF the healthy,
heavy old men who did the "bless- s-ye-be-happy
business at the Chestnut Street Theatre He
ought to have made money out OF the Ttceloe
Temptations will not say for Mrs. Tisdale'a
sake, but for his own.

The ArIon Chorus.
On one or two occasions have remarked thai
Parepa- Rosa, although ineomparably great as Q
concert singer, was much more of business
woman than an operate artist. Without being
exactly her own treasurer, she knows precisely
how much money comes in and how much goe
out. Her recent expedition to this city, from
Baltimore In order to sing at an entertainment
given by the AriOn Society, provoked On admir-
ing paragraph from almost every newspaper IL

ton, and II attention to ones private bushes
deserves public commendation, then was Euph
raosyne most praiseworthy. She simply sang TO
the Arion Society, on condition that the Ariol
Chorus should sing for her during her approach
