A Joke on Rev. DIR BUSHNELL

q A FEW days ago two young men went
from Massachusetts to Hartford to make a
visit. They were excellent in every way,
and carried little religious cards in their
rockets, with suitable notices, In order to
sow seed by the wayside. They were very
anxious to see DR.. Bushnell, and yet did
not feel bold enough to call on the great
man. The relative whom they were visit
ing was engaged in one Of the banks, and
told them that the Doctor was in the habit
Of dropping in there pretty often, and that,
in fact, he must come In soon, as there
was some money awaiting him. One
morning, while the two were in the bank,
thinking that perhaps the doctor might
happen in, an elderly man with felt hat,
put on rather slOuchly, agrayish black suit,
big oak walking stick, and the air OF
well-to do and bluff, outspoken farmer,
came in as though he belonged there, and
received thick roll Of grssnbacks from
the cashier They had that vile smell
which money much handled gets, and the
old gentleman lit was DR.. BushnelD began,
in bis sharp way, To jerk ont something
about this filthy currency, and to stg
matizc it with terms good deal more
forcible than. elegant The young men
looked at the elderly one with a good deal
of cornmiseration, aud overhauling their re-
ligious cards. picked out one, and approach
ing him, put IL into his band. Iteontain-
ed the words Are your Thoughts pprel"
What the doctor thought can hardly be
imagined, but we can conjecture what the
young men thought VIXEN their friend
came out from behind the coun,sr, uncon-
scious Of what had passed, and introduced
them TO Rev. DIR. Bushnell, Of whose pisty
they had heard 30 much, and whom they
SO greatly desired TO see. History drops
the veil on the scene at just this point

How the News was Sent to Paris.

ATTEMPTS to establish ready communl-
cation between the beleaguercd Inhabitants
Of Paris and their relatives and friends
beyond the German lines have given rise
to many contrivances, which arc not I'm
likely 10 make a new era, in the history
both Of seronautics and photography.
Among them may be mentioned the In
genious device by which the matter Of two
whole pages Of the Times has been trans
mitted from London ID Paris. This has
been accomplished by photography Those
pages of the paper which contained com
munications to relatives In Paris were
photographed with great care by the Lon
don Stereoscopic and Photographic Com
pany on pieces of thin and almost transparent
paper, about an inch and half In length
by an inch in width. On these impress
sions there could be seen by the nnaked
eye only two legible words, The Times, and
six narrow brown bands representing the
six columns Of printed matter forming a
page of the newspaper Under the ma
croscope, however, the brown spaces be-
came legible, and every line Of the news
paper was found to have been distinctly
copied, and with the greatest clearness.
The photographs were sent to Bordeaux,
for the transmission thence by carrier
pigeon to Paris. When received there they
were magnifed, by the aid Of the magic
lantern, TO large siz and thrown upon
screen A staff Of clerks Immediately
transcribed the messages, and sent them
off TO. the places indicated by the adyeTtisr
ers. The success of this expo rimcpt
gives rise to the hope that the new art Of
compressing printed matter into . small
compass will not stop here. IL . page Of
the Times can be compressed into spacs
little larger than that occupied by apostsge
stamp, the matter of an octave volume
might be made to cover not mere than two
Of its own pages, and . library could be
reduced to the dimensions Of the smallest
prayer book. What relief 1t would b
to the learned persons who frequent the
library of the British Museum II, instead
of having TO make fatiguing journeys from
letter A to letter Is of,,the ponderOus
catalogue of books, they had its many
hundred volumes reduced to space >
yard square. over which microscope could

are now occupying the thoughts Of photo

we have entered upon smother year,
pregnant, we hope, with blessings for
us all, Notwithstanding the rold
weather, the holiday was very acccpta-
bic, and we enjoyed it heartily, Santa
Claus did not put anything in our
stocking, and We were too good hu-
mored to grumhie at His neglect. The
Christmas Trees we're resl'lculeDt with
presents Tor the little ones The
Methodist and Episcopal C.inrches bad
one tree each, but the Prcsh, terrain bad
two. 1t would lie difficult to say
which was most attractive.
The Episc pal Church had n cedar
wreath extending entirely around the
room. High up on the walt, in rear OF
the altar. was a star; and under il the
inscription, I'VE have seen his star N
the East, and have come to worship
him" Two small vrc0;hs were Oh
each side Of this, over one % wl,ich was
written, king Of Kings ana over
the other, ''Lori ct Lords" Ga tlic
walls on each side OF the room were
other small wreatls. and with them
the words: Mighty - onQucror-
PRINCE OF observation-disclosures
lor-Jesus Emanuel w nulpriul-
Savior. At the other eud Of the hail,
immediately ove .he door, Was the
single line, "Tie Desire of Nations"
That last inscription recalled to our
mind an incident which happened du-
ring the war, and peihsps Ne had bet
ter relate it. The Colonel OF a Ten
ressee regiment was a member o!
q court. MARTA, which had conS enr,t
sOr the purpose of trying the Captain
Of one of his companies on the charge
Of being an inebriste, and not ple
serving discipline. The Colonel syp.
pathized with him, as he liked a todiy
himself, so he sent for the Captain t.
come to his tent, before the court
martial met. to have u talk. when the
~follo~ing brief dialogue ensu'l:
Captain, what is the matter with
your company"
my company, Colonel? Ny com
pany is a failure! Yes. SIR: the rc.I-
lnent is q failure! The brigade is a
failure! The division is a failure.
The army is a failure! And I'll he
ID il the world isn't Il lailure!'
Morally. socially. and politically. tie
