1 Minister with a Tin Hat On.


The Rev. George F. Pentecost, for
merly of Covington, KY, now of Bos-
ton, celebrated mis- tin wedding the
other day. The Boston Globe says:
" At 8 O'Clock the company formed in
procession, headed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Pentecost-the former wearing q
brightly-polished tin hat of the stove
pipe persuasion, and the latest shape,
supporting his faltering footsteps by
the aid of a substantial tin cane, aud
cooling his fevered brow by breezes
evoked by aid of huge tin fan, and
marched to the vestry of the church,
which was already opened and bril-
liantly lighted. Here the congregation
and Sunday school gathered en- n,asse,
and the evening was devoted to the
most innocent and pleasurable jollity.
After reciprocal greetings and few
moments of chat, refreshments, con.
sisting of rolls, cake, and ice cream,
were dispensed with rnsparing impair
tialitY by the fair hands Of the young
ladies', aud the subsequent half hour OF
so was religiously devoted to their dis
cussion. Then followed brief and ap
propriate remarks by the pastor any
several other gentlemen, and the re-
mainder of the evening was pleasant,
passed with music, and tho pleasan,
nmnsements usual on snch occasions.

exhausted after delivering this beauti-
f'll haraneue to which I listened with
blood boiling with rage.

eetful of all rules of caution. I nlanted
a blow full in the bullv,s face that
caused him to reel and stageer, while
the blood spurted forth as sufficient
evidence of the force of nv attack.
With a cry like an enraged bull. he re-
covered himself, and snatched ND q
chair, bringing it down on nv head
with crushing violence.
1t must have rendered me insensi-
ble, for when next was able to think,
act, and see for myself, 1 was living in
my state.room, with a dull, aching SEN
sation in my head. 1 attempted to lift
my hands, but t, my intense indiena-
tion, they were handcuffed. The ras-
cal had put me in irons while lay in
sensible.
A week passed by, during which he
had the effrontery to place me on bread
and water, all of which indignities 1
Immediately resolved should be re-
sented when had the opportunity.
One night I was awakened by the
tramplng of men as they hurried to and
fro, while the oaths of Watson, the
thumps of heavy sea under the coun.
ter, and an occasional pitch and roll of
the Sultan were sufficient Indications
that a gale of wind was blowing. With
caution and considerable mapmuverine.

The heavens were entirely obscured,
not star or ray of light was visible;
except the vivid flashes of lightning
which lit up the dark background with
an intense glare, followed by the low
mutter and growing of the distant
thunder, and darkness ten times more
profound than before the flash. The
sea was rising rapidly, and occasionally
the white crests of an angry billoW
could be seen looming up in the dark
ness as it hissel and frothed alongside.
With an anxious ear I listened to the
howl and rush of the gale as it whistled
through the rigging, and the mournful
creaking of the spanker gaff a. it swung
to windward.
Both officers and men were busy
taking in sail, while the Sultan darted
forward, rushing at mad pace
through the darkness and gloom. As
l half crawled, half reeled back to nv
state-roo1n, I thought with a shudder
of the awful fate which would await
me in case of any accident happening
to the ship. My mind was haunted
with strange forebodlngs as I again
sought my pillow. which the soothing
effect of slumber could scarcely drive
from my brain.
I was suddenly aroused with shock
which threw me with violence from nv
berth, while the crash of falling spars,
mingled with cries of agony and
shrleks for help, penetrated even to

New YoRk, September 3.

The features of Wall street to-day
were an advance in money and leaning
rates of gold, heavy decline in foreign

in good supply on stock exchange
early in the day at 6@7 per cent. Call
loans become firmer during the after
noon, With business at Z per cent cur
rency to 7 per cent gold, although conn
paratively few loans were made at Q
higher figure. Before the close Of bank
hours the demand abated and loans
were made at 4@6 per cent Foreign
exchange was decidedly heavy, and
leading bankers reduced their rates to
l074 !or sixty days sterling and lO7s
for sight, but sales were made as low as
106a@106t for prime bankers sixty
days sterling and 1074@l07s for sight.
Gold was steady at ll5s to 1l65, clos-
ing at lie The loaning rates for gold
advanced early in the day, and at one
time as high as l.l6 per diem was paid
for borrowing. In the afternoon rates
were easier and varied from 10 to 7 per
cent for carrying. The Assistant Treas
urer to-day paid out s9l, 900 on account
OF interest and $l3, 900 in redemption
