ACIown's sermon.

The Virginia papers report that during
the exhibition of a travelling menagerie
and circus in a town in that State, where
there was at the time some religious con.
vocation in session, the painted jester Of
the equestrian ring illustrated his own
serious capacity and greatly affected an
audience, in which many church mem
bers were present, by delivering the fol-
lowing homily:
my FRIENDS: We have taken in six
hundred dollars here to-day; more mo-
ney, | venture to say, than any minister
of the gospel in this community would
receive for whole years services. A
large portion of this money was given by
church members, and large portion of
this audience is made up OF members Of
the church. And yet, when your preacher
asks you to aid in supporting the Cos
pei, you are too poor to give anything.
Yet you come here and pay dollars
to hear me talk nonsense. / am a fool
because | am paid for it; make my liv-
ing by it. You profess to be wise, and
yet you support me in my FOLLY. But
perhaps you say you did not come to see
the circus, but the animals If you
came to see the animals, why did you not
simply look at them and leave? Now, is
this not a pretty place fer Christians to
be in? Do you not feel ashamed Of
yourselves2 You ought to blush in such
a place as this"
The sensation following a speech like
this, in such place, from such a
speaker, may be imagined. The local
clergy availed themselves Of the spirit
thus produced, and collection for for
eign missions resulted in four dollars

quite a new phase Of life. The Otoes

coat nor breeches. No whites, except
government officials, are allowed to
hunt, or fish, or lodge, or trade among
them.
Their lodges, dances, games, dress and
general habits, and especially their
burial rites, interested me exceedingly.
But am now unable 10 describe my ex-
perience in these matters.
For years the Quakers have had the
Otoes in hand, and have labOred to ele-
vate them with a zeal worthy Of better
success than has crowned their efforts.
One anecdote told me shows plainly
enough that their zeal has not always
been according 70 knowledge.
Last year news came 10 Philadelphia
Ouakers from their Quaker missionary
among the Otoes, that their squaWs were

ton horrifed the Quakeresses. A sub

were ahead OF him in the road. II being
impossible to turn around, he opened fire
upon the savages who occupied the side
of the road, killing two Of them aud
wonnding another. The remaining
Apaches fled. The horses, which up to
this time appeared to be incapable OF

The news from the Don Carlos reser-

that but one or two small bands have
