SENsELEss SUPERsTITloN.-In England,
recently, the corpse of drowned man
having been brought to land, a woman
brought to the spot her son, afflicted
with wens upon the neck She obtained
of the Coroner permission that the boy
should draw his hand seven times across
the neck of the deceased This, if fool
ish, was at least harmless. Another re-
cent instance of folly with disastrous re-
suits is recorded A man having died of
typhoid fever, a boy afflicted with wens
was brought to the side Of the body, and
the dead hand placed upon his neck.
He took the disease in consequence, the
malady was communicated to the family,
and spread through the whole neighbor-
hood. The disease was ola violent type,
and many deaths followed Such things,
in the nineteenth century, seem incredi
ble, but this occurrence is vouched for
and no doubt took place. Perhaps, after
all, it is not much more senseless than
many customs which still exists, even in
our own midst. Not being attended
with disastrous consequences, we do not
hear of or note them. Rut the folly is
no less absurd. The superstition which
perpetuates the idolatry Of the pagan ages
defes education and Christianity.

furlong of the road, the putting on steam
on an ascent, or the shutting off on a down
grade, the difference of expansion in the
rails between hot and cold, wet and dry,
and the perpetual risk of life and limb,
and property, are matters unknown to
the people who pay their fare, take their
tickets, and get to their journeys end
All the while their lives have been in the
hands of grimy- looking man at the end

are scientifically educated; but they have
no social position; and their wages are
absolutely inadequate to their RESPONSE

HOPELESS INvALIDs IN SOUTHERN Ho-
TELs.-The Boston Traveller says: A lady
who had been boarding at Southern
hotel, among sick and dying Northern
people, writes Indignantly to her friends
about the cruelty of sending hopeless in
valids away from the convenience and
comforts Of home, to suffer and die among
strangers, without any home comforts and
alIeviations. And yet, physicians are
continually doing that same thing. Hav
ing patient for whom they can d. moth
ing, they send him South, with the delu
sive hope of recovery, when there is moth
ing before him but sad and solitary
death, away from home and friends In
the incipient stages of disease, and when
the patient is we'll enough to take care of
himself, and to bear without great suf-
fering the rough and tumble of "a life
abroad" it may be an excellent prescrip
ton to try a Southern climate but where
disease has got firm hold. the cases are
very few in which the experiment is ad-
visable or safe.

sale of the Deacon estate, at the corner of
Washington and Concord streets. The
house is surrounded by high brick wall.
the gates of which have been closed for
several years, while the place has been
cared for by two old servants, who are
as mysterious as the hoase itself. The
house is fitted upin the most gorgeous
style, and it is said to contain the finest
specimens of medieval furniture in the
country, one of the saloons being furnish
ed entire with the furniture of a room in
the Montmorencl palace, purchased in

those divine lips free as the boun-
teous air, lavish as the all pervading light.
And so we can imagine the proto-martyr
proclaiming not only before the Sanhe-
1rin, but to all the people of Jerusalem,
without money and without price, "How
belt that the Most High dwelleth not in
temples made W it'll hands," There would
be something shocking in our ideas of the
loftiness and elevation maintained by the
early missionaries ofthe Gross to associate
with their preaching such thing as ere

And yet we have these things in our
modern churches There are particular
churches which are recognized as clash

prehend anything that will shock the
most thoroughbred persons. People are
expected to be well-if not elegantly
dressed. The latest bonnet, the most
dazzling silks-select them as the best

these privileges have to be paid for. The

PORTION of the church. People who have
large families and small incomes get pews
near the door, and to the right and left
of the side aisles. People who have no
incomes-they sit In the gallery-or,
most likely, stay at home. 1t is positive

It is matter of some surprise to rs that
some of the most attractive of our city
churches do not set the example of charg-

People who have money are, we take it,
just as wiling to spend it at church as at
the theatre, for tlla same entertainment.
1t would, at all events, be good idea
to combine the two features of rented
pews and tickets for single performances.
Strangers with money, of course) often
want to go to church, and do not wish to
intrude into private box-and such are
perfectly willing to pay seventy five
cents or dollar to hear good music and

There is another recommendation we

We would recommend to them to build
number of rec churches in the plain
quarters of every considerable town, for
the use Of the masses of the people.
There are plenty of people with souls to be
saved who never have chance under the

The hull is secured by being strapped
with three quarter inch iron crossing

A LITTLE ROMANCE.-The following
story, the facts Of which are furnished by
the Nashville Bulletin, is romantic, and,
as it is true. remarkabl During the
rebellion an old gentleman named Tomp-
kins lived with his daughter within
few miles of Lebanon He was a prag-
matte old man and set his heart on the
marriage of his daughter with young
man named Harry Hunt, when she did
not love; while as for her, she had set
hel heart on Mr. Hamilton. But like the
savage parent in the old ballad, Mr..
Tompkins said:
" And now thou knowest thy fathers will;
Tis all thy sex hath need to know"
and clinched his mandate by saying that
if she should disobey him she should
never have $4,000 which he had buried
in the ground. in place known only to
himself. So Miss Tompkins took that
better part and married Mr. Hunt Her
father died st length, and told the pair
where the hidden treasure was But Mrs.
Hunts heart was another's, and she re-
fused TO waste by a slow and hopeless
decline, and at length sink into the
grave the victim of broken heart; she
determined TO go after her affections.
BY playing on her husbands fears of
robbery, she got him to dig mp the $40
600 and put it in her trunk for safe keep
ing. Mr. Hunt put her and her trunk on
a railway tram, jumped aboard himself
and went to Nashville. where the lady
left him, and eloped with her old lover
Hamilton. Mr.. Hunt didn't care so
much for his wife, but is looking vainly,
though diligently, for what her trunk
contained.

CoTsWoLD SHEEP.-This breed of
sheep took its name from the Cotswold
district of Worcestershire, England, call
ed SO from the sheds or cots for shelter
ing the sheep during the night or perma-
nently In winter, and the wolds, or open
billy grounds which served as pasturage
In summer. In the earliest records of do
mesticated animals, mention is made of a
kind of sheep in that district, valued for
bulk of carcass and heavy fleece and of
long wool. They are described as tall,
and long and full in the hind quarters
They are of the larger class of British
sheep, belonging to the rich low-lands.
Whether they had always occupied that
country or were introduced at the period
Of improved cultivation, is uncertain, says
late English writer. The Cotswod was
crossed with the Leicester breed, which
decreased the size and diminished the
product of wool This displeased the Cots
void breeders, and they reverted to, and
selected from, the native stock for breed
ing.
In size the Cotswold exceeds the Lei
cester, and the wool is closer on the body,
the fleece weighing from to s lbs per
sheep, with a length of wool from to 8
inches the quality is mellow, color good,
and fiber strong, though rather coarse.
Constitution.soun and hardy, females
prolific and good nurses. The medium
weight of fattened Cotswolds, of two
years DID, ranges from 90 to 80 lbs. a
quarter from IL to Is months old, from
16 to q lbs. a quarter. The new Leices-
ter breed encroached upon the domain of
Cotswold, as upon other long wooded
breeds, but within the last twenty. five
years the Cotswold breed has attracted
general attention. and is contesting the
ground with the improved breeds in
many parts Of Great Britain The rea
sons for this are hardness, and the quail
ty of thriving under common treatment,
and the prolific and nursing qualities of
the females The most eminent breeders
in England are VIM Lane of Broadields

A Coal FIT ON FIRE FOR HUNDRED
YEARs-One of the most curious phe-
nomena in connection with coal mining
is exhibited at the Bank Collery, near
Rethorham, the property of Earl Fitz-
William. This pit caught fire one hun.
dred years ago. and all the efforts of the
workmen at the time, and subsequently,
have been quite Intellectual to extinguish
it, A short time ago it was ascertained
that the flames were approaching the
bottom of the shaft, and it was then
resolved, ifpossible, to stay their progress,
so that they might not extend to other
parts of the workings. At length the
superintendent of the collleries, Mr. T.
Cooper, conceived the idea of building q
wall to shut in the fire, and in order to
ascertain the best site for this wall, sew
eral of the officials crept on their hands
and knees, through the dense sitting
smoke, as far as possible into the work
ings. Their efforts were successful; and
a wall is now completed nearly 1000
yards in length, and varying from 8
inches to feet in thickness. At distan-
ces varying from 80 to so yards metal
pipes lave been inserted in this wall,
which are securely plugged at the end, so
that at any time, by removing the plugs,
the state of the air on the side of the fire,
and even the position of the fire itself,
can be ascertained. So intense is the
beat arising from this fire, that the peo-
pie possessing gardens above the colliery
declare that the growth of plants is ma
terially affected, and that they are cna-
bled to obtain two and three crops every
year-Londoqa Ne,os.

trouble of keeping that room in nearly
the same condition that II was when he
died; these we're triiles The whole
brood of curiosity-hunters came down
upon him. They tore up his stables for
walking-canes; they made. rings OF bis
fence they transformed his front
steps into charms they made par

his front door was whitfield up and
spirited away; his whole family stood
guard over his property, and even then
were unable to save it. In this emer-
gency poor Peterson incontinently re-
treats and throws up the sponge. He
says, there, take the bed and blood
stained linen, too" Possibly few of
these sheets he has manufactured for the
occasion. He would be more than hui
man if he resisted the temptation. In
these days when relics of the Chicago
FIRE find ready sale, and the bullets
shot from innocent revolyers in our own
country bring tremendous price as me
mentoes of the Paris siege, it is won
der to us that Peterson has been con-
tented to stay in the background with
his cargo SO long as he has. Mrs. Lin
coin rushed into the market with her
wares long time ago. Instead of re-
preaching the unfortunate Peterson fam
lily for wishing to close up the relics bust
ness and retire from the trade, We think
they show uncommon good sense. If

prosecutors, in the name Of charity let
