Among other spoils which Alexander the Great
took from Poius, an Indian King, WAS monster
elephant. Those animals wero then, Us now,
held in the highest esteem in that country.
That particular elephant fought so bravely for
his master. that the admiration OF the conqueror
was excited in his favor. He ordered him to be
set free, and allowed to range at pleasure first
naming him Ajax and placing medal securely
to his neck bearing this inscription: "Ae1an-
der, son Of Jupiter. dedicated Ajax to the SUM-"
Three hundred and ffty-four years after the old
fellow WAS rediscoGered, and probably in good
condition, as nothing WAS recorded to the con-
trary. Therefore, it is probable that elephants
may live several centuries before the machinery
of life gives out.
Cuvier, the great French naturalist, saw no
reason why whales should not reach 3 thou
sand years. An eagle died at Vienna that was
known to be 104 years old. Ravens have been
active ut 100 years. A skeleton Of q swan is in
possession Of m English gentleman that died
when 290 years OF age. Tortoses have been
repeatedly found with dates cut into their shells
by ancient hunters, showing they we're over 100,
and yet we're crawling on vigorously with new
markings into a second century.
Scientists cannot fathom this law Of vitality
There is life period to most Of the animals
very satisfactorily determined, but how long a
man might live is still unknown. No death
probably occurs in which the individual falls
short of hundred years that was not referablo
to Tiolation of some law Of nature. Hopeland
was fully persuaded the life limitation OF a man
Was not leBs than two hundred years.

ANNIVERSARY SERMON At EVANSTON.


Evanston is so closely allied to Chicago as tho
heme OF so many Of our business men, that the
Anniversary Sermon preached yesterday morn-
ing by Rev. George T.. Noycs, pastor Of the
Presbyterian Church. will possess q local inter-
est The handsome audience-room carries its
Christmas decorations, which reflect high credit
on the tasto of the congregation, especially upon
George +. purington, Esq. Tho audience, yes-
terday, Was large, and the theme Of tie dis
course makes the sermon happily Illustrative
Of the past year at Evanston.
"Days should speak, and multitude Of years should
teach wisdom. JOB 81: 7.
It is en instructive fact that, OF the various
substances and forces in Nature, each ia made to
serve, not ono purpose merely, but variety Of
purposes Tho atmosphere, for instance, yields
food to all forms Of vegetation. It is necessary
to the life of all animal beings. It is indispen-
sable to the transmission OF light, Of color, and
Of sound. It is homo for the clouds, with
their treasures Of rain, and hail, lnd SNOW It
holds within itself the forces of hcat aud cleo
tricity; and it possesses q power which, in its
gentler manifestations, would not break leaf,
but which, in it's mghtier exhibitions. is able to
ships helplesslv across its troubled surface
Something similar to this variety Of purposes
miuietc1ed to ov each one OF Natures substances
and forces, may be discovered in tho phenomena
Of tho moral world. We may often observe how
one and the same event, if wo carefully consider
its meaning, is made to serve the most varied
sud sometlnes apparently opposite purposes.
or Ill the events that make up our separate his
tories, there is probably not ono which is not
adapted to answer, in the economy OF Gods dis

Any review Of the year which should contain
no commcndatory mention Of the work OF the
connection with the church, would be seriously
defective. This Society, at the beginring of
tho year, undertook to raise four hundred dol

foreign fields, 9 missionary Of their sex. They
made this resolve amid all the depression, un-

fire. I am glad to be able to say that they have
more than fulfilled it, their Treasurer assuring
me that their offerings amount to S330. They
have voted to apply this sum to aid IN purchas-
ing the Woodstock Homo. The Sunday School,
also, have enlisted in the same praiseworthy en-
enterprise, and at their Fair, recently held. roal

The results Of their efforts show clearly tho
great Importance Of organization and system.
Iu tho benevolent work Of the church proper,
We have done less than We might, and less,
probably, than we should have done, If we had
worried Systematically, as we expect to do in the
future. For our congregational needs VIC have
raieed during the year, about $4,000; for the
benevolent work Of the church our contribu-
tions, exclusive Of these already mentioned
amounts to about $3.50.
With plan of making weekly offering, now
fairly inaugurated, We Look forward to the year
upon which VIC are abont to enter with the con-

The FeweIl-CIark Tragedy.

TRIAL OF "RHoDA" PEwELL
The trial of l.. n. Fewell for the murder of
u, 4. Clark, was resumed at Brentsville, Va,
yesterday, and the prayers offered by the pros
ecuton, numbering seven, with those offered
by the defence, numbering eleven, were read
and explained by the court, occupying most of
the day.
MRS. HYsoN's TESTIMONY.
AS Mrs. HysOn was not allowed to testify on
Monday IN court, she appeared before a notary
public and made an affidavit, stating that she
has known both parties to the elopement all OF
her life, and that while she does not know when
they became acquainted, Is inclined To believe
that the introduction did not take place At her
house; she remembers, however, having seen
both at her house at a dancing party given in
the latter part OF the winter OF 1S7l-T2. Miss
Fannie had always been a frequent visitor at
her house, but she does not believe that the
number or frequency of her visits increased
after MT. Clark came TO the village and often
became guest at her husbands house: recol-
lects that Mr.. Clark and Miss Fewell were
members OF fishing party, OF which she was
a., member MGn, OF, that had gone to Mill
and that they cOnversed On that occasion
She states that she nad never encouraged sny
intimacy between them, and had never told
Miss Fannie that she knew Clark was separated
from his wife, and had papers in her possession
to confirm that assertion; that no money nad
ever passed through her hands, either directly
or indirectly, from Clark to Miss Jewell and
that she did not know OF Miss Fewell's having a
sum OF any amount until she was informed OF
that fact bv another to whom il was jntrusted
one day when Miss Fannie took drive with a
Young man; that she had never corresponded
with Mr. Clark under her own name or Gcti-
tious one, and was not known to him by the
nom de plume Lizzie Twyneman; that she had
never inquired at the post office for let
tiers for Lizzie Twyneman, and had never
seen any so addressed on but one occasion. She
never heard Fannie speak in affectiOnate
terms OF Mr.. Clark; she told asfant several
times, both before and after she became
quainted with Mr.. Clark, that she intended to
elope with young man who was then living in
Fredericksburg. Mr.. Clark did not leave his
clothes at her house; he took his meals there
after his wife left, and remained two or three
nights; was invited TO stay much oftener, but
would leave at a late hour on the plea that he
had some writing TO do, and go to his own home;
often visited Mrs. Clark, and thought her hus
band was devoted TO her. A1fiant never knew
of any arrangement between Mr.. Clark and
Fannie to meet at her house; have always had
great deal OF company, and they sometimes
met there, though without any knowledge on
her part of concert between them; have once or
twice heard Mr.. Clark speak IN light terms OF
Miss Jewell, and she always acted when with
her as If his presence was not particularly
agreeable TO her.
