A monEL ntTCH VILLAGE.

Charles D. Warner, in his "Saunterings,"
thus ventilates one of the stock ''sights" Of
Holland: ave drove five miles TO Brock,
the clean village; across the Y, up the canal,
over fatness fattened. Brock is a hum
bug, as almost all show places are. A
wooden little village, on stsgnant canal,
into which carriages do not drive, and where
the front door of the houses are never
opened; dead, uninteresting place, neat,
but not especially pretty, where you are
chovn into one house got up for the pur-
pose, which LOOKS inside like a crockery
shop, and has a still little garden with sbox
trained shapes of animals and Furniture
A roomy-breeched young Dutchman,
whose trousers went up to bis neck, and
his hat 10 a peak, walked before US in
slow and coW-like fashion, and showed us
the place, especially some horrid pleasure
grounds, with an image Of an old man read
ing in a summer-house, and an old couple
in cottage, who sat at table and worked,
or ate, / forgot which, by pclock-Work,
while dog barked by the same means. In
a pond was a wooden swan sitting on
stick, the water having reeeded and left it
high and dry. Yet the trip is worth while
for the view of the country
and the people on the way; men
and women towing boats on the
canals; the red tiled house painted green,
and in the distance the villages, with their
spires and pleasing mixture of brown, green
and red tints, are very picturesque. The
best thing that saw, however, was a ira
ditional Dutchman walking on the high
bank of a canal, with soft hat, short pipe,
and breaches that came to the armpits
above and little below the knees, and
were broad enough about the seat and
thigh to carry his, no doubt, numerous fam
lily. BE made fine figure against the

A Small Imitation of BOutweII's
Treasury.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-Yesterday after
noon the special committee appointed by
the General Conference to investigate the
charges against the Methodist Book Con-
cern held a meeting, at which reports of
subcommittee were presented.
The chairman Of the subcommittee to
investigate affairs of the bindery department
reported the accounts we're In most dis.
graceful state. In one case there was a
blunder of twenty thousand dollars against
the bindery, made in footing up column;
said Hoffman concealed this by carrying over
$4,000 from the previous year, and putting
in $4,000 which appears TO have come from
nowhere in particular, No statement can
can be found showing that a balance sheet
has been taken in twenty years. There
are many things in the accounts unex-
planned. Reports made to the Annual
Conferences were not made from the ledger
nor did they correspond with the ledger.
Judge Cooley, chairman of the sub-com-
uittee on leather, reported that the ques-
ton had been submitted to three master
binders as to the amount of leather would
be required to produce the amount of fin
ished work turned out by the book concern
an q months, and the average estimate
placed it at more than $4,000 pounds less
than Hoffman charged the concern. It
was also shown that Hoffman has been in
the habit of selling the leather of the con-
Germ. There was a discrepancy in bis pay &C
count. Dr. Carlton, ST., agent, he had re-
lied on HOffman's honesty, consequently he
was not responsible.

THE CRY.


a sEort time since while parties were en-
gagged in boring well on the Allen Cotton
plantation, about seven miles from the city
on the Granny White pike, they struck a
liquid which proved to be stream of strong
and excellent sulphur water. They had
bored TO the distance of one hundred and
fifty feet before drop Of water was found,
but striking this vein there was an abund-
ant flow. Several demijohns of this water
were brought to the city yesterday, and it
was tasted By number of our citizens who
pronounced it equal to the best. In taste,
it is very much like the water from our sui
phur spring, but great deal stronger. An
analysis Of this water yesterday showed
that it continued sulphurett4d hydrogen,

CHICAGO.
Cheney in Chancery.

E CHICAGO, May 2S.-In the Circuit
Court Of Cook county this morning, G.
Judd as counsel for certain members of
Christ Episcopal Church, fled "a bill in
chancery against Rev. Chas. E. Cheney,
pastor, and the trustees of said church,
praying for an injunction restraining the
further diversion of the property and rev.
enues Of the parish to the support of
pastor who has been degraded from his
office in the church by an Episcopal court.
The object of the appl cation is said to
be not for the purpose of Selling the prop
erty but to obtain decision from the court
as to whether or not the property belongs
to the Protestant Episcopal Church.
NJ. W. Fuller, as counsel for the defend
ants, asked for pOstponement of the case
that the defense might have time TO prepare
an answer or demurrer to the bill, and the
preliminary hearing was finally deferred
till June Is. Meantime the court declined
to grant temporary injunction,

ON CIVILIZATIONS.

Abundant evidences are still extant to
prove, if proofs were demanded, that adj
yances in architecture and Ornamentation
had made astonishing progress at several
points on this continent long before Column
bus or any other European Voyagers made
their appearance here. No one can fix
upon probable period when these works
were constructed which are monuments Of
a former civilization.
There was a ciVi izatiOn and regularly
constituted government and all the ma
chinery of well-ordered kingdom in Syria,
east of Jordan, before the Jewish nation
was born. The Moabitish stone, which is
now considered the Oldest Inscription in ex-
istence, testifies to the triumphant success
of the Moabitei against what they consider
cd barbarian invasion of their territory,
of which no knowledge was extant till
the discovery Of that remarkable inscrip-
ton.
No doubt many other historical memo
rails will be recovered by explorers over
those long neglected regions of the Orient,
where whole streets of stone houses, with
doors on their hinges, have been vacated all
of three thousand years. The future is
rich in archaeological expectations.

long as to be given up for lost. The crews
of vessels known to be destroyed were all

THE latest invention comes from Della
ware. A man down there, having heard
thai the earth revolves at the rate of 1000
miles an hour, has arranged plan of going
up in balloon and remaining stationary
while the earth is permitted to slide away
beneath. He thinks that by this means he
can reach California in couple of hours
merely by shooting up from Wilmington in
balloon, and then dropping down again as
soon as the Rocky Mountains are observed
to go past. He has the whole thing ar
ranged now in perfect order-the balloon,
and the place to start from, and so forth
so that the scheme cannot possibly fail and
all he wants to make things complete is
something to tie the b | Don to, in order to
hold it still while up in the air.
