\ CHEW OF TOBACCO,
the eccentric reviyalist. Burchard, whose
peculiar and aggressive style of preaching
the kingdom coming created such an ex.
eitement in various parts of the country
years ago, many anecdotes have been told,
and scores of others might be related.
We are informed at an inquiry meeting
one evening, man seemed powerfully
affected by the prevailing spirit, and rose
to speak, but stood irresolute for mo-
meut.
$50 on, brother"' shouted Burchard.
Some one explained that he wished to
sreak but though he understood Eng
lish, he could only communicate his ideas
in German.
! "Well, go on y Burchard shouted
again. ''I'll warrant you the Lord can
understand your Dutch lingo, if we
can't
Burchard was man of great readi-
ness, and would not take rebuff, if he
could help it. TO keep himself even with
class of 'sfellows OF the baser sort" who
came to his meeting to scoff, he often
used their own weapons. One night he
observed notorious reprobate sitting
back near the wall, chewing tobacco
He was one of the hard cases of the vii
| ia-c, and drank more drains and swore
more oaths than any other two in it.
Burehard had no hope that he came for
any good purpose but, as was his wont,
he made directly for him.
''Glad to see you here, Brother D.
he exclaimed, heartily. Coming out on
the Lords side to>uight ?"
''No."
90, don't say that" Burchard urged
1.-The Lord has need Tor you. Won't you
come ~
'.Not by d--d sight !"
The surrounding scalawags chuckled
at this bold shot; but Burchard, not a
bit dashed, asked again
"What-won't join with those who
love your soul p
..See here, old fellow, don't you both,
er me any more was the rude retort
Eve told you mo- plain enough,
hain't :"
"Well, then, Brother D. said Bur.
chard, smiling, and lowering his voice to
a confidential tone, just give me chaw
of tobacco, will you?'
A hot fight for quarter of million
of dollars is being waged in Westchestet
county, between a brother and two sisters
We suppose they have forgotten the old
saw:
"Whatever brawls disturb the street,
There should be peace at home;
Where sisters dwell and brothers meet,
QuaIrels should never come
But then $3.50, 900 furnish an excuse for
an exception to the rule. John Bussipe
the father of these children, was wet

in the town of Yonkers, possessing q
fortune of $250,0oo During twenty
two years previous to his death he was

lia It is alleged that his son, j. Bussing
Jr, meanwhile, by threats, induced his
father to make will, in which the
greater part of his immense fortune wa.
given to Bussing, Jr., and the tive
daughters were cut off with a mere pit

real estate to himself, executed by the

senior Bussing. the daughters have instit

but the testimony already elected look
badly for Busssing, Jr., who undoubted
