The Philadelphia Ledger, in an ar
ticle on the support of clergymen, tells
very good story, for the truth of
which it vouches. There lived in Phil
adelphia two brothers, one of whom
adhered to the faith of his fathers and
was prominent Quaker, while the
other went among the worlds people
and became connected with church
that employed salaried preachers. The
brothers occasionally y had goo6-natured
discussions on religious matters, in the
course of which the Quaker brother
did not fail to harp upon the subject of
hireling preachers. One day the "hire-
ling" advocate showed his brother a
list of missionaries belonging to his
denomination, with their stipends set
against their names, from $50 up, but
none exceeding $500 per annum, and
few reaching two-fifths of that amount.
"There, brother" he said, "you are al
ways talking of hireling ministery,
what do you think of that listH Do
these men serve for hire?" "I'll tell
thee what / think" said the other,
handing back the paper; "if / pre-
tended to pay preachers at all, l would
pay them better than that"
The Boston Post says: "a piece of
human hair may be seen at II Essex
street, with which is connected most
romantic story. 1t weighs 7 ounces, is
GA inches in length, of dark brown
hue, and as soft as silk. This is, pro-
baby, one of the finest specimens that
has ever been publicly exhibited in
America. 1t is frem the head of a
Swabian peasant girl, of whom it is
said she had two suitors. One was rich,
the other poor. The rich one Ia miller
who owned the cottage in which the
fair one and her mother lived) threat
ened to drive his tenants from the roof
unless he was accepted. They had al
ready paid portion of the price de-
manded, and only desired time to meet
the remainder. A hair merchant, at
this juncture. appeared in the village,
and, being offered an uncommon price,
she determined the part with her flow
ing locks. These were taken to Leip-
sic, and sold at the annual fair for
S175 to an American dealer; and form
thence Lhe magnificent specimen found
its way to this country. 1t is valued
at $500.

ior q lew weeks and spend the time in eniov-

had the pleasure Of spending week in Tho
Ole town OF L., few years since, where a
cousin of mine is living, whom will call
Jack. We would spend our time in different
ways sometimes in fishing aud sometimes in
cunning, just as we happened to feel,
One afternoon as we were strolling through
the woods we came to narrow path which
we had to go through in single file, Jack lead
ing and 1 following. As he went to step over
small clump of bushes saw right under his
lset some kind of an animal apparently asleep.
Before could speak Jack stepped right over
MN hitting him with his boot as he went
over, but not disturbing him in the least. As
soon as could speak cried out, "Jack what
Is ihat?" Jack came back, looking carefully
through the bushes and when he saw the ami
mai ne exclaimed, "why that is porcupine.u
what to do was new the question. Jack pro.
posed that should stay and watch him while
ne went to the house for the gun, but want.
ed him to stay; and as We could not decide
which was to stay we both started for the gun.
Arriving at the house we called Jacks BROTH
er and neighbor that happened to be present
and taking the dog along with us We started
In pursuit OF the porcupine. Creeping along
carefully to the place where we had seen the
porcupine we approached the spot but the
porcupine was not at home. 1t seems he had
stepped out and not a trace of him could be
found, although we looked all around in the
trees and every where that he could have
crawled to but without success. Then came
the laugh at our expense, and we returned
home. But we have never heard the last Of
that porcupine. FEW.

AWoRD ABOUT NoN-EXPLosIvE OILS
From all over the country come accounts of
oil explosions and details of deaths and losses
by lire consequent thereon. Now it is a SER
want using petroleum or its most dangerous
lighter products to light or brighten her fire,
who gets an envelope of fame that necessi-
tates shroud; and again i. is the bursting
of alamp that sets house ON fire, in which
perish men, women and children. Last Tues.
day the Holiday House at Kenosha, Wiscon-
sin, was burned through the explosion of a
lamp containing the so called mon explosive
oiP', and we know certainly of five lives lost
and another missing. And IN Troy, New
York, on Friday afternoon last, some of Dam
forth's "non-explosive" went near to the de-
struction Of Battershall Crary's enameled
ware works. A local paper says: 1T is i'm
possible 10 say what injury the workman
would have sustained had he been in the Of
flee at the time, but he doubtless considers
himself fortunate that business called him out
just as it did.
Coroner Mulligan, of Albany, we notice, Is
doing good thing in the investigation Of a
case of death brought to his official attention.
A Mrs. Scott was burned to death night or
two since by this oil, and the coroner has
placed some of the material in the hands OF
| Professor Porter, who is to make a chemical
| analysis OF the same. So many accidents
| from the use OF Danforth's oil have occurred
recently that we are glad its characters Is to be
| chemically tested and determined"
This Danforth's mon explosive" oil, like all
| that class, is simply mixture of compound
| ing OF two or more of the lighter products Of
petroleum, naptha, benzine, gasoline, etc,
which under certain circumstances may be
exposed TO tests so successful as to catch the
fancy of people unstudied in the phios ophy
of explosions. For instance, the agent will
Introduce fame into the mouth of can or
jar and after tie stuff has caught he will
smother it by putting his hand over the ORR
| fee and shutting off the supply Of air. But
| he won't pour it on fire, for be knows that
| the flame would follow the stream into the
| can and blow him up. Arguments, expert
ments, and theories must give way to the ire
| sistible logic of events, and it is beyond con-
troversy that numbers of lives have been lost
through these dangerous compounds. No oil
should be used that will not stand fire test
of at least 80 degrees of heat. The Utica
way, is the sensible way; customer asks a., ,hs
| grocer "bave you the non explosive OH
"Yes," swell, give me the otner kino'-
Hartford Courant.
Let people be warned. The danger from
mapv so called non-explosive oils is very great.
The Portland oil, however, answers the test
| of the law and is sale oil.
