opened his season with unusual
health and spirit. His great lecture

full from week to week. And even
the parIors adjoining have To he
opened To accommodate the thruug.
A great many people attend the FriS
day night meeting from other
churches, who do not hear Mr.
Beecher preach. The Friday night
meeting Ii unique. and unlike any.
thing on the continent. It is crisp,
spPrkliDg and entertaining. The
singing is hearty anu full. Four
hymns are usually sung. There are
no omissions, but the hymnsale sung
straight through. Two brethren are
called upon tn pray between the
singing aud ten men To do all the
praying. One of the ten Is invaria-
bly, called upon year after year.
Why the circle is rot enlarged it IL
difficult TO tell. The scriptures are
NOT read. At the conclusion of the
third hymn Mr.. Beecher gives his
talks" He sits In his chair dur
ing the address, never rises, but IL
very much at his ease. He holds his
hymn book in his shand-throws one
leg over the other-teeters back ia
his chair -shoves tho biblo back and
fourth nervously-changes the po-
sition OF his vase of ilowers-and
twists around from side to side, ap.
parently without the slightest idea
of what he is doing. His talks are
seldom over twenty minutes, when
the meeting is thrown open for
Questions. A few remarks are
sometimes made by the brethren.
and the meeting il then closed with
rousing song of praise. The whole
service seldom exceeds one hour --

The Titusville Herald, describing
new oil well near that city, says
that for nine hours il flowed a
stream of beautiful amber and rose
tinted oil, of sixteen degrees gravity,
as large rs stove.pipe, at the rate of
437 barrels per hour. The oil IL so
heavy that 1t formed a perpendicular
column of six inches in diameter
that would push its way up several
hundred feet into the air, when be-
coming partially melted by the suns
rays and overcome by its weight, il
would break off near the ground and
fall over like an immense tallow
candle struck with club. A cloud
of gas hovered over the derrick
larger than Butler county barn,
and the ground was so slippery for
half mile around that the works
men were Obliged to crawl around on
their hands and knees to collect the
oil, while the noise of escaping gas
could be heard by the short interest
in Pittsburgh. The owners of this
new well are very calm, and instead
of getting drunk, went right off last
evening and procured several corn
cutters and stationed themselves
near the mouth of the well, and a.
fast as the oil forced itself up, cut IL
off In three-foot lengths in sizes,
suitable for stovo~wood.n

CEDAR RAPIDS has had jealous

of that ambitious city, who has a
pretty and sweet young wife, has
for some time been the victim of sus.
picions. He laid plan. He an.

did go. But he came back on the
next train, reaching his home as IL

midnight. If there was anything
wrong he knew be had IL by the ear.
The only light was In his wife's bed-
room. He fingered under the win

voices. He heard il, now his wrath
ragged. With pistol IN one hand and
night-key In the other. he bounded
up the steps and through the outer
doors. Reaching the bedroom door,
It was locked. His wife had heard
the footsteps, and In terror wanted
to know "who was there" He re-
piled that he believed IL was her
husband. She would open the door
in a minute. This was the straw
that made the iiate husband irater.
With, heavy and wrathful foot he
bangfd.s against the door, and the
door yielded, The Observer tells the

Touching Incident.

In the city lives a poor family the
father of which In a Catholic, while
the mother is n Protestant Recent
ly their daughter, beautiful child
OF years, Suddenly sickened and
died, During its sickness 1t was at
tended by physician who was ac-
companied on every visit by his
daughter girl of fifteen years. who
evinced the greatest solicitude for the
| little sufferer. When death came
ith its cold, Icy grasp, this young
lady was there, aud with tender
hands clos;d tue innocent ewes and
arranged the form of the babe who
! had been .called home. The funeral
took place the next day, aud owing
! 10 the conflict of religious opinions
between the parents, neither priest
nor minister was called in. The
| young lady went To the house of
mourning, aud, i'm company with
the grief stricken parents followed
the remains to the cemetery.
/ Arriving there the little body was
placed by the side Of its narrow rests
ing place to allow of u last look at the
sweet face that all loved so well.
| With low wall the mot ler threw
herself down by it, and with passion.
ate kisses sought, as IL were, To recall
life to the poor, motionlrss clay.
Everyone was visibly affected by
this outburst, and when she called
upon the young lady to- offer a
prayer for her poor darling, all rev.
erentially uncovered and knelt to
the ground. The young lady with
out moments hesitation, knelt and
commenced praying. At first her
voice was visibly affected by emo
tion, but rs she proceeded she seem-
ell to forget self and surroundings,
and poured forth such a touchiug APP
peal to the Throne of Grace that
there was not, when she ceased, q
dry eye or an unmoved heart In the
whole assembly. When she had tin-
ished the body was carefully lowered
in the grave, above which now
grows some beautiful flowers, mo-
mentoes of the love of the fair young
lady. Memphis ArdtGnchc.

ChIldren's Clothing.

An exchange sensibly remarks the
clothing Of children should be adapt
ed, on principles of common-sense,
to protect their health, and not made
scant, for the qualification of pa.
rents vanity. The neck and arms
of a child are, indeed, exquisitely
soft and beautiful; yet the delicate
skin, which fond mothers are to dis
play uncovered, is sensitive in the ex,
treme to the action of cold, and
hardly any practice can be worse
than to allow bare necks and limbs
Many child is thus killed by the
folly which exposes parts of the per
son which are carefully protected ir
adults. A little more common-sense
mothers, more sleeves, and sacks
and high dresses, and less vanity anG
fashion, and you will have fewer lit.
tie graves to weep over.

We have heard of many instances
of the impudence and wit of the
legal profession, bat nothing lately
more amusing than the following
from the Cedar Rapids Times:
A few days since an important
case came up for adjudication in Mt.
Vernon, in which leading legal
light from the county seat, and one
from an adjoining county were At
torneys In Chief. Much difficulty
was had In securing jury, owing
to the rejection of most every one
called, when the county seat attor-
ney asked, do you find any fault
with him sir?" No. replied his
antagonist 81 guess he'll do. / don't
think you can buy him. Jump.
ing to his feet like pith ball toy
man with q bullet for ballast, and

most ferociously, the county seat
lawyer Indignantly asked. "Do-
yOu-think-y0u-can-buy--me sir ~
The other. deliberately took out his
wallet, hunted through it carefully,
then searched leisurely through his
pockets, then straightened himself
up with a look of mingled disap-
pointment and disgust, replied
mo sir, / don't think / can to-day
as j have nothing with me smaller
than five cent nickle.' The effect
upon the audience and the man
from the county seat, we leave our
readers to imagine.

of doing honor to the editor Of a local

In red worsted. Now this particular
editor had never worn shirt and
supposed the brilliant specimen
before him to be q banner for an
