On Saturday afternoon, the 18th of May,
Donaldson, the aeronaut, made an ascension
from Reading in paper balloon. He rose to
considerable height, and aftersailing through
the air for about half an hour succeeded in
landing without any great difficulty in field
ten miles from the place of starting. This,
from the frail character of the balloon, is
rather dangerous experiment. 1t is said to
be the first paper balloon ascension on record.

~ Our old friend Mr.. Isaac B. Conover,
of Pennington, sent us quite curiosity few
days since. This is an egg, laid by one of his
hens, on one end of which is a well-formed
letter G. The &C." of course stands fol
Conover, and shows that the hen knows to
whom she belongs but we do not think she
is in the habit of laying all her eggs marked
with her owners initials, and probably per-
formed this feat to show that she knows her
letters. "-Husterdon Democrat.

and that this army of travellers will spend not
less than $25, 900, 000-for this is the amount

the money market is source Of continual CON-

QUARTERLY MEETING IN New Horizon
last Sunday morning, the Rev. VIM. B. Wood
Presiding Elder of the Lehigh District, preach
ed in the New Hope NJ. E. Church. The oc-
casion was one of peculiar interest from two
or three causes, viz This was the first visit
from the new Elder and the first official vista
ton after the creation by the late Philadelphia
church is now included. Twenty three years
ago, the new Elder took his first charge on
the "Newtown Circuit" in which New Hope
was included, and was, therefore, pastor of
this church for one year; and, we understand,
had never since then, until the present, visited
the congregation.
On this occasion his sermon was one of I'M
usual force and quite eloquent. His text was
from John ID: IL eff ye know these things,
happy are ye if ye do them. :" The sermon
was divided under two heads-Knowledge and
Obedience. True religion, he contended, con-
sisted in htsoaoing and doing, and the result,
happiness. LIST. KNOWLEDGE. We must
know God as revealed in His Word. Cd ODE
DIENoE. Knowing God, we must obey Him.
Some very beautiful illustrations were given
under these heads, and the attention OF
the large congregation was held to the close
The quarterly collection taken was the
largest for several years past.
The Quarterly Conference, on Saturday eve
ning was a meeting of unusual interest, and
the Elder and members INDUCED in many
"reminiscences of the years long gone.

SENDING MONEY BY MAIL.-The frequent
complaints of the loss of money in the
mails would almost entirely cease were
those who use the mails for such 8 purpose
to avail themselves of the money order
and registered letter sy stems. The first is
absolutely safe, and the other is as nearly
so as any business of similar extent can
we'll be made. There are now established
and in active operation 2076 money order
offices, embracing nearly all the important
Offices in this country. The system is ex-
tremely simple. The sender delivers the
money at his own post office, writing out,
upon a circular furnished at tho Office, the
amount, the name and address of the
person for whom it is intended. The post
master then gives the sender an order on
the postmaster of the place indicated by
the circular to pay the person named in
his letter of that date the amount also
thus communicated. The sender then sends
person receiving it then presents it at the
post Office named in the order, satisfies the
postmaster that he is the person for whom
the money is intended and receives it. For
this convenience and security the sender
pays q small fee-ten cents on small sums.
Where very considerable sum is to be
'forwarded it ia, of course, much less ex-
pensive to send bank check or certificate
of deposit. During the last fiscal year the
number of money orders issued was 1, GIL, =
253, of which the aggregate value was S34,
654, lS4, II. Should the party to whom
the money order is sent fail to receive or
present it, and it is returned to tie sender,
the latter can have the amount rrmitte, Il
upon applying to the "tiitv ,~~n,ng the
order.

The General of the Jesuits.
FATHER BECKX, s. J. INTERVIEWED BY A
GERMAN CORRESPONDENT.
From the Pail Mall GazetteI.

from the Pail Mall GazetteI.
Father Beckx, the General of the Order
of the Jesuits, has it appears, been "inter-
viewed" at Rome, by a correspondent OF
the Vienna Presse. The correspondent
describes him as short, narrow shouldered
mao of 20, with pale and tranquil coun.
tenance, "whose life seemed to concentrate
itself in his expressive grey eyes, shaded
by long black lashes, and always bent to
the ground, except when he is addressing
you" He was dressed in long loose
robe, which he held together over his chest
with his left hand. "The generals head
is long and narrow, and it's badness is con-
hair, inierspersed here and there with a
thread of silver, is brushed back from his
temples behind his ears, and q sharp pro-
minent nose and thin bloodless lips com.
plete this very characteristic but uuattrac-
tive countenence." The Father speaks
though his native language is French. 81
left Belgium" he said, "where I was born,
in 1919, and resided for some time in Ger.
many. In 1880 I went to Vienna, and
lived in Austria till 1850. He complained
bitterly of the persecution suffered by the
brethren of his Order, "who are now SO
hunted about from place to place that, al
though most of them can speak French,
Italian, and German, they now find them
selves in countries where they ere unable to
make themselves understood. ""Soon," he
said, "they will have to learn Spanish;
perhaps Magyar" After asking great
many questions about the public feeling in
Austria and France, Father Beckx alluded
to the approaching visit of the Emperor OF
Russia to the Vienna Exhibition. "Russia''
he observed, "has been reduced by her
incensiderate policy in religious matters to
the position of an Asiatic State. Even in
Asia our missions have been very success
full, and new and powerful races are dew
clipping themselves under the benefcent
influences of the civilization introduced by
our priests I; yet in Russia every day brings
new sufferings to the Church and the peo-
Pile. Until lately the Government did
not attempt to abolish the United Church,
but only to Russify it. 1t ordered Russian
prayer-books to be always used in the
churches, and though the Polish peasant
had to mutter his prayers in n language
unknown to him, he yet knew the mean
ing of what lie said, Now, however, the
people are driven by main force into the
Russian churches, and Russian popes have
taken the place of the local clergy" To
wards the close of the interview the father
pointed towards large and handsome build
ing which was visible from the window :
'There," he said, was formerly the finest
portion of our college now it is occupied
by Government Offices. The Government,
which wants much, and desires even more,
has reduced US by this annexation to very
moderate proportions. You are aware
that it now proposes to obtain a law sane
tioniDg all it has done and yet pro-
poses to do. This they call expropria-
ton but there are many fine words
which do not express their right mean
ing"
