Church Applause

In Mr.. Beechcr's church applause
has SO often been given that it has
ceased to be novelty. But we
hear it now in many other places.
The other Sunday afternoon, in
preaching at the dcdicatory services
Of st. Johns Methodist Episcopal
church, in this city, Rev. DR.. Fowl
er, of Chicago, in his most eloquent
vein denounced the enroachments
Of Romanism, and he was twice APP
plauded by clapping of hands and
stamping of feet, in spite of the sh-
sh-ing of conservative brethren
In the evening Of the same day,
Rev. DR.. Joseph Z. Thompson hap
pened to allude to the same question,
and, of course, spoke strongly and
grandly upon it. His eloquencc
was too much for the dccorous dis
position of the Tabernacle congrc-
CATION, and they manifested their
approval by the most decided ap-
plausc. We do not know why ap-
plausc shonld be forbidden in
church. In ancient times they
said Amen, which is nothing but 4
cheer Why not let Englishmen
say, clear, Hear" in church? Why
not let dcmonstrativc and inarticu-
late Americans say Amen with the
hands and feet? We doubt not
many a minister would preach bet
ter if he had the stimulus of such

Geological.

We know it is beneath the digni-
ty appropriate to these editorial
columns to tell dog story in them
a dog story with not even moral
attached. But after graphing with
a six-column article in the vain at
tempt to get its pith into half-col-
umn (thc fruit of which labor is de-
layed by an accident until next
week), we are going to refresh our
minds, if not our readers, by telling
a dog story pure and simple. We
protest in advance against any at
tempt by Mr.. Darwin, his friends
or his foes, to deducc that dogs can
or cannot reason, or to prove any
thing whatever. Now for the dogs
as TO the veracity of the tale we
personally youch.
a narrow log lay as a bridge over
a ravine. From the opposite ends
Of the log, at the same moment,
there started to cross it big New
foundland and little Italian grey
hound. Of course they met in the
middle; Of course there was not
room for them to pass; neither could
they go back. The height was a
dangerous one for the greyhound,
and to the water at the bottom he
was extremely averse. The New
toundland could have taken the leap
with safety, but evidently did not
want to. There was fix. The
little dog sat down on his launches,
stuck his nose straight up in the air,
and howled. The Newfoundland
stood intent, his face solemn with
inward workings. Presently he
gave nudge with his nose to the
bowling grcyEound-as if to say
''Be still, youngster, and listen"
Then there was a silence and SEEM
ing confabulation for a second or
two. Immediately the big dog
spread his legs wide apart like
COLOSSUS, bestriding the log on its
extreme outer edges, and balancing
himself carefully. The little dog
sprang through the opening like
flash. When they reached the op-
posite shores the greyhound broke
into frantic gambols Of delight; and
the Newfoundland, after his more
sedatc fashion, expressed great
complacency in his achievement
as he surely had right to do =

From the New York World
A New Version Of Betsy and are
nufS

Go tend the door, there, Bridget, and mind what
you're about,
For Betsy's mothers comm, and Betsy and are
out;
I've stood the dear old lady as long as ever can,
And the more I've tried to stan it, the more I've
had to stan.
Since first we two got married, and came down
She's had end of orders and free advice to give
There's nothin' hand is put to, outside Of the
house or in,
But she has say about it that's always sure to
win.
From nursin' babies to clcanin', from hayin' to
milkin cows,
We give her her way entirely, as much as the law
allows;
There's hardly child or critter, field, or fence,
or stone,
She hasn't fault to find with, or ever can leave
alone.
Perhaps l should STAN that much, if Betsy SO
should bid,
And let the old lady boss it the same as she always
did;
But now that her tongue has taken to Vaughn an.
other course,
I've got to be up an dom, or look for cheap
If l but say she's a-meddlin', she tells my wife l
drink;
If ever look at woman, she gives my wife the
wirk;
And comm from meetn', Sunday, when Betsy
was taken ill,
She said. for half the symptoms, woman could
file Bill.
So tend the DIOR, there, Rridget, and keep your
wits about,
And tell the dear old lady that Betsy and l are
Out;
And then--in case she threatens to come some
other day
just add to the statement Bridget, that Out we
intend to stay!

thither the whole company follow
ed, where the services were to be
more protracted. The dogs went
too, and soon after the minister took
his place in the pulpit they began
to skirmish around his coat-pockets.
If it had been anywhere except in
church, or on any occasion but 4 flu
neral, the dogs would have been
cudgeled and sent bowling away;
but as it was, no one wished to dis
turb the quiet sanctity Of the place
by the yelping of dogs. They seem
ed to comprehend the situation, and
made the most OF it. They went up
into the pulpit-a single one at
timc-two and three at time.
Sometimes two companions would
meet coming from opposite sides Of
the pulpit, but all centering behind
the minister, whose only means of
defense was in kicking out behind
at them, by guess; but the dogs were
wary, good at lodging, and none
got hit.
Thus the service went on. The
mental anguish Of the good minis
ter cannot be described; but there
was no alterative-he must proceed
as best he could. At last to his
great reliet, he was about to close
his part of the service by pronoun-
cling the benediction-had already
closed his eyes and raised his hands
for this purpose-when worthy
deacon of the Baptist Church wish
ed to have the minister read q no
tice. The deacon was man of
rather diminutive size, and walked
as lightly as a cat. He had ap-
preached the pulpit with the notice
in his hand, unperccived by the
minister, and was on the stairs,
within reach, when the minister
raised his hands. The deacon, to
attract his attention, twiggled his
coat-tail. OF course the minister
thought it was dog, and that it
was necessary for him to kick once
more, which he did. The deacon,
not on the lookout, like the dogs,
received the minister's foot in his
side, and tumbled headlong down
the stairs.
There was q scream, a rush of the
deacon's family, general uprising
Of the whole congregation, and exit
dogs. In the midst of this confu-
sion, the minister waved his hand
to restore order. After the people
were seated and quiet again reign
ed, he told the people the story of
the sausages in all its particulars,
which seemed satisfactory explain
alton, and the funeral proceeded;
but the minister was never known
to carry sausages in his coat pock-
cts again.

THE STEAM WAGON.
An Iron Giant--How it Goes--The
Master Piece Of LocO1notion.

From the Corinne Reporter, June 10.
Colonel Hyde's grand triumph,
the steam wagon or road locomotive,
was all around town to-day. At
eleven o'clock it started across the
track, bounding over ties and
bitches, then up on the north side,
where it was guided over toward
the waterworks to drink. Several
hundred gallons Of Hiram's tank
sufficed to slack the monsters thirst,
and away it went again. We have
described this consolidation Of mule,
horse and OK teams before, but did
not see its capering movements un-
til this morning. Why it appears
to swing around in the road, at COM
mand Of the steering apparatus,
easier than man could turn a
wheelbarrow on a matched floor!
This great engine will draw it's thir-
ty or forty tons Of freight in trailed
vans or wagons as readily as it
moves unloaded. Mr.. Hanscom,
builder OF the car, acted as pilot to-
day, and surely his pride as me-
chanic must have been fully satisfi-
ed in the wonderful work Of the
Overland Steamer. 1t is the king
of the road in every way. In twen-
ty feet it turns completely around
going at its speed, stops with the
touch OF a valve, and when desired
to move on takes up its march with
4 step that ordinary distractions
cannot retard. On the next trip of
the steamer, this steam wagon is to
be taken across the lake by Colonel
Hyde, and there put to work haul
ing ores and freights to and from
the mines to the landing. We re-
joice at its great success to-day, and
while seated on its steady front,
close by Mr.. Hanscom, wished the
glory of inventing or manufacturing
so useful a machine would some
time be ours.

An ingenious author asserts that
the length Of u mans life may be
estimated by the number of pulsa-
tons he has the strength to per-
form. Thus, allowing seventy for
the common age of man, and sixty
pulses in minute for the common
measure Of pulses in temperate
person, the number Of pulsations in
the whole life would amount to 49,
2o7, 100000; but if, by intemper-
ance, he forces his blood into a more
rapid motion, 50 rs to give seventy
five pulses in minute, the same
number of pulses would be complet-
ed in tifty-six years; consequently,
his life would be reduced fourteen
years.

Public Printing.

Mr.. W. III. Scanland, who has
been doing work under the Act re
lative to public printing, and in a
parish where there was no other
paper, therefore interfering with
the interests of no other publisher,
has been continually annoyed by
"rampageous' Democratic papers
in other parishes. He disposes OF
the case thus:
As regards my " soiling my hands
with Republican printing contracts,
can inform the editors of the South
Western. in all kindness, that my
hands are as clean in this respect as
theirs, and will surely remain above
reproach. 1t is true, | published d
few State laws i'll the Times under
Messrs. Devices & Twitchelfs con
tract, but did the work IS would
perform any other job work, and
without favor or attection.'
[ have suffered as severely by the
operations of the Printing Law as
any other editor in the State, and am
as anxious for it's repeal as any one,
but Iseeno great treason Ill "llvln9
by it-Wder protest.
Some men mistake "pOtatoes for
"principles.' 1t is all very proper
and consistent" for editors backed
and literally sustained by the pa
tronagcof large Democratic CONNER
cial communities, to hurl defiance
after defiance in the teeth OF their
political adversaries, but it is rather
a more difficult thing for a poor
country editor to do it for any length
of time successfully. His hands must
be held up while he flights the
good fight" else he "~starycs out.
According to my humble ability,
| feel that | have made as many
sacrifices for my party and people as
any other editor i'll this State, and
would "risc to EXPLAIN" for the
benefit of a few "rampageous" so,
| called Democratic editors, (no allu-
sion to the South Westerly chat |
have never yetran a muzzled press
with the exception Of the time when
the chest Government" saw proper
to place L. $. guard over my press,
At that time the innocence OF these
"rampageous" characters protected
them. | was the only editor i'll the
State served thus.
In conclusion, if thismatterat1ords
~splenctic editors any chance to dis
| play their otherwise torpid patriot
ism, they are welcome to make all
the capital out of it they can-as it
may serve them in the hour of need.
AS for myself, am done with the
affair. W. II. SCANLAND.
