! leans writer tells the following story
J There is upon orr long list of acquaint.
ances long, lcan, lank fellow, who
though " . bard 'un to look at" has a
perfect mania Cor playing practical jokes
and little does it concern him whether
they are OF gay or Of a grave character,
and he is equally Indifferent upon the
subject of whether the victim be an ac-
quaintance or an entire stranger.
The devil-may. care acquaintance has
several peculiarities Of PersOnneI by which
his friends readily recognize him, and
they have furnished him with as many
aliases as are possessed by the most no.
torlous travelling professional that ever
had his mug displayed in rogues' gallery.
His left eye is very much italicized, and
this blemish has brought about with him
q habit Of carrying his head over on the
left shoulder, and this habit again has
given him the soubriquct of "Cfooked
nccked Joe"
One Of Joe's latest jokes was played off
upon stranger, who came into the city
by the Jackson train daring the recent
yellow fever scare.
The cars had emptied out their cargo
Of passengers, and one greenish, country
looking chap stood apart from the crowd,
with pet-baS in hand, evidrn ~ as u
loss as to what he should 90 with linn
self. He had not stood long before Joe
went for him
Five feet in ieugth; two feey eleven
across the breast, eighteen inches through"
said Joe, looking the new arrival AS
straight In the face as his crooked nee
would allow, not cracking a smile, and
drawing from his pocket tape line with
which he Was about to verify his estimated
measurement.
What do you mean, sir? ?" eagerly in
CURED the stranger.
why it's all right" said Joe, putting
the tape-line back in his pocket. "You
measure five feet nine, by two feet eleven
by eighteen. I'll be ready for You by
nine o'clock in the morning"
What have you To do with my meas
urement, sir? What is to be ready by
nine O'clock in the morning, sir? What
are you driving at, sir?" inquired the
countryman, excitedly and angrily.
"Why, you See" said Joe, Tn the
city undertaken, and the yellow fever is
killing the strangers off so rapidly that
have to get their measures as they come
into the city I'll didn't you see, sir, the
dead bodies wonld accumulate on my
bands"
AT this all unusual pallor came over
the features Of the country man his
whole body was in a CULVER, and, turning
to tie baggage master, he said Look
here, mister Check my baggage back
up the road. [ goes home by the next
train"

OBERLIN.
From the Cleveland Leader.
OBERLIN, Ohio, November 20.

The National Congregations Council,
the proceedings Of which were SO we'll
and SO fully sketched by the reporter
from the Leader office, is now thing Of
the past. The delegates have dispersed
10 their several homes in all sections Of
the country, invigorated in mind and
spirit. The session was unusually har
monious throughout. Occasionally some
little cloud Of difficulty seemed to threat
Ell for time, bat everything was finally
adjusted to the general satisfaction Of all,
and the result Of the deliberations, and
the measures adopted can hardly fail Of
proving satisfactory to the three thous
and churches represented. Much work
was laid out, large sums of money recon
mended for various benevolent enterpri-
Scs, and additional endowments of $780,
600 each for the Oberlin, Chicago aud
Pacific Theological Summaries. It only
remains Tor the churches to manfully meet
the increased responsibilities laid upon
them by the growing fields Of their activ-
tiles, and contribute Of their means in
the same liberal spirit with which the
work has been devised.
The assembling Of the Council here Las
not been without much good to Oberlin
already, and the indications arc not IN
| certain Of far greatergand grander results
in the future. Many came here with
minds more or less preiudiced from an
ignorance Of the real work that has been
accomplished by the institution, and its
animating spirit. They have departed
with better feeling and warm friend
ship even for the place and its work A
more Just appreciation of It's merits wall
henccfOrtl prevail throughout the coun-
try. AS these men became more acquain
ted with our institution, its history and
its work, from their brief sojourn IN our
midst; as they witnessed the orderly de
pertinent Of the large body OF students,
the sympathy between teachers and pu
pills, and underneath all the quiet vet
mighty influence of the religious spirit
which pervades every department, they
learned to respect and love it. The warm
reception by the citizens and the gener.
Gus hospitality displayed, won their
deepest gratitude.
Another mark OF appreciation was TIE
recommendation Dy the Council 10 the
Churches OF Ohio, and The nation, and to
men OF benovolence and wealth, to gen
crous consideration Of the claims Of the
Theological department, and that $50
600 for the erection of the Theological
building, whose corner stone was laid
during the Council, would be worthy
tribute to the great object of this assem-
bIage. The work on this new hail will
be pushed as rapidly as possible next
spring and summer, and It is to be hoped
that 1t may be completed without long
delay
