THOM AS
OF CHRIST

The people of East Hampton point to
the graves of their early ministers as evil
dence Of the healthfuness of the town.
Mr.. James was the minister in charge for
forty eight years. He was followed by Mr..
Hunting, who preached to the people for
fifty years; and their next minister, DR..
Buel, labored in the village for fifty-two
years. Thus these three preachers filled
out a period of one hundred and fifty -four
years. These were followed by Lyman
Beecher, father of Henry Ward Beecher,
from whose funeral sermon on the death of
DR.. Buel, gather some items of interest
for this article.
The town was settled probably about
1915; but the formal purchase of the land
was not made until 1913, when the Mon
tauks, Shelter Island, Corcholze and Shine
cock Indians conveyed over thirty thous-
and acres to the Governors of New Haven
and Connecticut for $50: 4: 10. Instead
of actual money-payment was made with
twenty coats, twenty -four looking glasses,
twenty four hoes, twenty four hatchets,
twenty -four knives, and one hundred mugs.
The second church built in the village was
standing when was there three years ago,
but it is now torn down, and very cityfied
building, not at all in keeping with the
place, perks its painted head over the plain
houses of the people. Anything modern is
out of place in East Hampton; the stage
driver blows his horn as he goes through
the village,-a carrier, who looks like a
Iineal descendant of Barkis, passes through
to and from Sag lIarbor every day, and he
blows horn. The people who take board
ers never advertise, and yet four five
hundred people every summer find this the
! most delightful place in America for recre-

head, he dreamed he had fallen into the
hands of savages, and that he was under
going the process of being scalped. And
still another instance, more curious than
above, in which both man and wife dream
ed the same thing at the same time: 1t
was during a French invasion into Scot
land, and nearly every man in Edinburg
was a soldier. All things were made ready
and the firing of gun from the castle was
to be indicative of the approach of the
enemy, to be followed by a chain of signals
to notify the country in every direction
They dreamt they heard the gun go off;
the husband went to the front, and while
in action, bosom friend of both fell by
the force of a bullet from the antagonists
gun; both were lamenting sorely over the
loss; when the husband awoke, he aroused
his wife from her dolorous sleep, when she
related her dream which correspondent with
his; the wife remembered having placed a
pair of tongs against a clothes-rack to sup
port it, in the room above, which she sup
posed had fallen and made the noise, in
stead of the gun, which was really the
case.
These cases are easily accounted for
the absence of reason and judgment leaves
Imagination to all the natural workings Of
its spontaneity suggested by these bodily
sensations. If imagination is to decide,
the nibbling of rat on the floor, might as
ha tnly for tbo "a c
chisel, the wrinkled blister, might as
naturally be referred to the operation of
tho scalping knife, as to the real cause,
and the heated pan, to that of volcanic
mountain.
We know the sound produced by fitting
keys to a lock, boring with an auger and
tapping upon chisel, and by the law of
associations the nibbling of rat is not
very dissimilar to the three combined,
when imagination has sway and reason is
in the back ground. The man that dreamt
he was going up Mount Etna, had lately
read Byron's description of that Mount
and once assembled Mount Vesuvius, his
mind was cognzant of just the feeling
that would be experienced in the ascension
and when a similar heat was produced by
the pan, he naturally dreamt of something
his mind previously experienced. And
though DR.. Reid never was scalped, he
perhaps had felt the pain from cut or
read of the sufferings produced by the
operation, and the pain from tho wrinkled
blister might have been similar and led
him to that dream. And that of the man
and wife, their sympathies, thoughts and
associate were enlisted in the same direc-
ton, and as both had heard the report Of Il
gun, the falling of the tongs, producing a
similar noise, excited their imaginations to
reach forth and grasp the same thoughts.

Mr.. Gilsey, worthy citizen of Dan
bury, recently had the misfortune to get
hold of the wrong end of swapping tur-
tie. He had been fishing on Sunday after
noon, and after sitting on the bank for
couple of hours, without catching any,
thing, he was gratified to see, on a fiat
stone in the water, a swapping turtle SUM-
ming itself. The butt-end of the turtle
was toward him, and he thought he would
capture it; but while lie was looking for a
place to STEP the turtle gravely turned
around without his knowledge, and when
he got in reaching distance, and ont down
to take hold Of what nature designed
should be taken hold of while handling a
swapping turtle, that sociable animal just
reachad out and took hold of Mr.. Gilsey's
hand with grasp that left no doubt of its
sincerity. The shrieks of the unfortunate
man aroused some of the neigbors, but
when they arrived it was toe late to be of
any benefit to him or even to themselves,
for they just caught a glimpse of a bare
headed man tearing over the hill, swinging
small carpet-bag in one hand, and they
at once concluded that it was narrow
escape from highway robbery. However,
it was not a carpet-bag he was swinging;
it was that turtle, and it chung to him
until he reached the White street bridge,
when lie let go; but the frightened man
did not slacken his gait until he got home
When he reached the house the ludicrous-
ness of the affair burst upon him, and when
his wife looked at his pale face and bare
head and dust-begrimed clothes, and asked
him what was the matter, he said, "Noth-
ing was the matter, only he was afraid he
would be too late for church," and ap-
peared to be much relieved to find that he
wasn't.

Another cherished belief gone! We
are told, at day certainly ridiculously
late, that the Car of Juggernaut, so for as
the crushing of voluntary victims is con-
cerned, is humbug. DR.. Pringle writes
the London Times that the deaths inflicted
by the Car are entirely due to accident,
though the native priests have no sort of
objection to such accidents, being exceed
ingly glad when they occur. 1t takes q
crowd of 1 300 or 1, 500 devotees to drag the
monstrous Car, with its sixteen huge
spiked wheels, and confused and entangled
in the four or five long ropes which they
hold, many of these poor wrstches natur-
ally fall and are crushed out of life under
those great wheels. Since an English
Commissioner ordered nets to be fixed to
the Car for the protection of the people the
de aths have become fewer.

4 SERIOUS QUESTION.

For some time past the farmers in Ine 'll-
mediate vicinity OF the phosphate manuiac1o'
ries upon Charleston Neck have been sufer-
inc seriously from Injury inflicted upon their
crops by the vapor OF the eulphurlc acid used
in rendering the phosphate soluble. The
vapor condenses and falls in the form OF spray
upon the plants, stuntiDg their growth and
,p,uring them irreparably. A large meeting oil
farmers was held yesterday at Dr.A. B. Roses
farm. near the Racecourse, when circular
letter 10 the presidents of the various phos-
phate companies was drawn up and signed.
The letter sets forth full and clearly the
Grievance under which the farmers have been
suffering, and concludes by asking that the
chemists OF the companies be instructed to
devise some means of preventing perpetua-
tlon of the grievance. The letter also states
that In case the farmers suggestions fall to be
fayorably received by the companies, appllca'
tlop for redress will be made 10 the Legisla'
ture. The subject will also be further consid'
cred at the next meeting OF the executive
