THE DISCIPLES OF MESSO.
Interesling Account Of the SECT.


One hundred Russian MennoDites
arrived in New York few days since.
They are denomination Of Baptists
founded by Menno Simonis, in Holland.
They were at first taken under the pat
ronage OF William OF Orange, and pros
pered, aud during the seventeenth CEN
iury became quite numerous in the cen
trail countries Of Europe. In the
eighteenth century they were. however,
subjected 10 severe prosecutions, aud
their condition has never been satisfac-
tory IN oi;her Holland, Hanover, or
Germany. Consequently in the begin
ming of this century colony Of these
dissatisfied religionists were gathered
together from Prussia, Wurtemburg and
Bavaria, and emigrated to 'Feodessa, in
Russia, where they we're permitted to es-
tablish colony and enjoy their relig'
ious and social tenets. They we're sub.
jected to no other conditions than pay
ing land tax, thereby having privileges
not enjoyed by the natives However,
lately the Russian authorities sought to
incorporate the numerous and import
ant colony among the subjects of the
government, in defiance of the stipula-
ton which the Emperor Paul made to
them on their going to Feodessa. The
present Gear resolved TO bring the Men
nonites. as we'll as the Poles and Lithu-
anians and other nationalities, into
homogeneous Russian mass. Much dif.
fculty was encountered in obtaining
permission to emigrate, and this obsta-
Gle is not altogether removed yet, as
there are some 10000 still behind who
have not commenced to dispose Of their
lands. Those who have arrived here fed
on hearing that the Minis
ter Of State refused to interfere in their
behalf. They consider the action of the
Gar as religious persecution, and will

A Young Iowan named Brown IS puz-
zling the people of Chicago by his sue
cess as mind reader. The discovery
of his powers was made accidentally
about eight years ago, when be was
mere boy. A playfellow casually touched
his forehead, causing sparks to emit
therefrom, and producing sensations
which first led him to believe that he
could read the thoughts of others. The
first public exhibition Of young Brown s
powers as o mind reader was given in
the Union Park Congregational Church
in Chicago. The first test was that OF
finding an article hidden outside of the
room. Young Brown took the left hand
of the gentleman who had hidden it,
placed his hand on his forehead, letting
il rest there for a few minutes. Then
he took the gentleman's hand and held
it TO his own forehead Pausing but for
a moment he led the gentleman rapidly
out of the back door OF the church. de
soon returned, his companion tWirling
small locket in his hand which he had
hidden in the basement. Though blind
folded, Brown led him as straight as he
could have gone himself. Then he led
a gentleman to the tip Of chandelier
Of which he was thinking, then found a
silver quarter hidden under table, and
wound up the FIRST series Of tests by
pulling q watch key out Of the testers
mouth. Afterward he spelled out on an
alphabet placed on the wall the names
Of places in the minds Of two gentle
men. and finally located q pain in a
man head by putting his hand on the
exact spot where the trouble lay. Mr.
Kelly. young Browns mentor, says his
proteges powers we're like that OF q
magnet, in that they we're stronger in
cold weather and increased in strength
the more they were exercised. he
added that persons whose left arms
we're broken or Who we're partially in
toKioaied could not have their minds
-sad.

AnInterrupted wedding.

The Budget, an English paper pub
lished in Shanghai, China, gives the fol-
lowing description of an occurrence
which recently took place there; " Some
people sitting gossipping in the usual
way in tea.shop near the Maloo, it was
incidentally mentioned that in house
close to the Louza Police Station a mar
riage was going forward. By.and-by the
party broke up, and as some of those
who composed it lived in the Louza d.
rection, they thought as they passed the
house where the noise Of crackers aud the
sounds of music and other accompani-.
ments of festivity gave evidence of a
marriage, that they would go in and
have look at the fun. Accordingly,
with the freedom which Chinese custom
permits, they pushed into the little court
yard in front OF the reception room
where the marriage guests were assem-
bled with the bridegroom and bride max
ing merry over the marriage feast. But
no sooner did one of the teashop gossips
set eyes on the bride than he gave an
unearthly yell and other tokens Of sud-
den and intense excitement. When the
tumult of his feelings had so far
found an equilibrium as to make utter
ance possible, he declared that the bride
was no other than his wife, whom he had
supposed to be quietly attending to her
domestic duties at home, as he had left
her not many hours previous. OF course,
the most intense sensation was pro-
duced by this announcement, and the
husband rushed off to Louza for assist.
ance. A native constable went with him,
and on questioning the bride she admit
ted without hesitation that she was the
wife of the claimant, had been so for
four years, and had by him daughter
two years old. On this stop was put
to the marriage ceremonies, and in due
course the parties were brought before
the magistrate of the Mixed Court. 1t
then appeared that the disposal of his
daughter in marriage, for a considera-
ton, was faVorite method of raising
the wind with the old man, her father.
The bridegroom in the above scene, a
coolie in foreign hong, being in want
of a wife, was told by the father that he
had marriageable daughter, and though
he had never seen her, the coolle paid
$40 to the father, and arrangements were
forthwith made for the marriage which
had been so seasonably-or unseasona-
bly-interruptedj the ooolie all the while
not having the dimmest suspicion that
his fianoee was already the wife of an
other. The daughter considered she
ought to do what her father told her. 1t
turned out, indesd, that he had since his
marriage been once in treaty with an
ether man for her, but that swain heard
the real state of things at an earlier
stage of the proceedings than did No. 3.
The old matrimonial speculator did not
attempt to deny that the above allega-
tions were true, and he was removed in
custody till formal proceedings could be
taken against him.
