MEANNEsS TO MINISTER'S.
Three Clerical Sufferers

The Cincinnati Gazette says;
General Moody, whose wit is as I'M
failing as his wisdom, was once called to
preach on Sunday morning to con-
rregation ten miles from his own charge.
Sermon over, everybody pressed toward
the door, leaving to the tired preacher
the prospect of riding home hungry as
well as iatigued. Colonel Moody was
not the man to be so baked. The laborer
was worthy Of his grub, if of no other
hire, and so, with that voice with which
he has so often directed brigades, he
called halt and 'right-about face,
and when the retiring crowd had come
to a dead stand still, he cried out:
Brethren and sisters, invite you, one
and all, to go home with me to my house
to dinner to-day. !.
THAT mild and gentle hint brought
the profer of more dinners than our
stalwart friend, with his gigantic corpo-
rosity, could comfortably dispose Of.
The above, for which we are indebted
to valued contributor, brings to mind
two occurrences that deserve to be re-
corded: The first to be mentioned is
the case Of Presbyterian congregation
in Indiana, whose pastor was untortu-
nately confined to his house by sickness
four weeks. His salary was = small one,
and he found it difficult to support his
wife and children. When, however, the
trustees we're called upon for the starv-
ing salary, they deducted for the four
weeks absence ON account of sickness.
As an act of meanness, this was equaled
almost by the second case to which we
refer. 1t occurred in Ohio, in a rich
and growing city Of the second class.
There was vacant church ia the place
(Presbyterian), and the session invited
a Young man, recently graduated, to
preach for them. The minister started
from home with twenty-five dollars in his
pocket, fifteen Of which was invested in
railroad tickets for the round trip. He
staid two Sabbaths with the congregation,
preaching four times. When he came
to take his departure he kept his hand
ready to receive the expected envelope;
but he looked fer it in vain. On the way
TO the depot, however, a friendly door
opened, and he was invited in. The
lady of the house thereupon presented
him small package, which he was re-
quested to accept as q small token from
the ladies OF the congregation. He &C
cepted it with thanks, felt good, and de-
posted the precious package in his car
pet-sack. Upon entering the car he
took a back seat, and as soon as the
train moved out of the depot he pro.
ceeded to examine the package, and
upon opening it carefully he discovered
a cotton shirt with cotton bosom, and
old fashioned collar attached. This was
the present from the ladies Of the con.
gregation, and this was all he received
for two weeks services, and the expendi-
ture of fifteen dollars for railroad fares.
He returned to his home sad young
man. He is still comparatively young
man, but he occupies high position in
the Presbyterian church in Ohio, and
commands n liberal salary.

A New Orleans lady is in sore trouble.
She feels that all her long-cherished
homes of matrimonial happiness are
blighted, and her life must henceforth be
blank. Her name is Simkins, and one
unlucky night recently, as she was SIT
ting in the parlor entertaining her idol,
she discovered some insect was down
her back. She distinctly felt it crawl.
She knew it was big bug, and probably
deadly poison; but as the idol was on
the verge Of proposal, she stood it. II
rested little while and she felt reliev-
ed it moved just little though, once,
when she tried to touch it with the end
of her fan outside Of her dress; but in
little while she could feel it sticking the
sharp sting into her flesh. Oil" she
almost shuddered. My dear, said the
idol. She paused. my dear miss
what makes you so restless2" "Oh,
nothing" and she brushed at the bug.
The idol turned partially and touched
her hand. Agony the bug stung her;
it was burying itself in her flesh. She
rushed from the room and found-that it
was pin which had slipped out of her
dress. She returned, but the idol was
gone, and has never been to see her
since.

ment; he is, however, considered out oil

dition; he suffers very much and is very
weak. but the doctors do not yet an
pounce his ultimate recovery improba'
HE. Several theories are current re-
speeding the motives for the shooting.
steinheart denies that there was any
previous difficulty between the parties,
and il is said his defense will be insanity,
in case he should recover and be brought
10 trial. 1t is said there have been sew
eral cases Of insanity in his family, and
that his sister committed suicide two
wears ago, by taking Paris-green, and
that his aunt, residing in Louisville. had
also committed suicide. Steinhearts
father is very sick, and has not yet been
able to see his injured son.
A severe storm had been gathering on
the Atlantic coast and reached its cut
minating point, apparently, on Wednes-
day. when the center of the disturbance
moved from Pennsylvania to New Jersey
and New York. Various reports so far
show the greatest amount Of damage to
have been done in Pennsylvania, the
city Of Philadelphia and suburbs having
suffered materially. In the immediate
vicinity of this city there has been no
great destruction of property. All along
the New Jersey coast the tide has been
unusually high and the gale violent. AT
Jersey City the cellars and ship yards
were flooded, while at Long Branch the
beach was broken up, and some OF the
bathing boxes were destroyed. In this
city the rain fell in torrents, aecompa-
MED at times with high winds. The

nrpMAN EMIGRATION.

The emigration Of the German popu
lation to foreign lands has inspired Bis
marck and the German government with
the idea that foreign possessions are
needed in order to stop the tide of emf
grafton which flowed toward the United
States. The imperial government, and
indeed all local governments OF Ger
many, are well known to be openly hos
tile and unfriendly to emigration. Not
long ago it was reported that Bismarck
was anxious that the German govern
ment should acquire some extensive ter
ritorial possession in Africa, Asia, or
elsewhere, for colonizing purposes. At
ter its acquisition the German authori-
ties would use their influence to turn the
German emigration there. The emf
grants, it was supposed, would build up
a great German colony. This colony
would be advantageous to Germany in
commercial way. 1t would enable Ger
many to conserve, for her own benefit,
the valuable Germanic forces which
are now getting scattered over the
world, and which 90 to the
strengthening of other countries.
1t is not in the power of Germany to
turn aside this great outflow of muscle
and brains from a densely populated
land. where labor is not remunerative,
and where the best part of mans life is
spent in the military service. The peo-
pie have no interest in wars or armies
these are the surroundings Of Kings and
Emperors, who play the game of war as
an amusement. What the peasant and
the artisan want are peace and employ
ment domestic happiness and remune'
rative wages; hence, the German emf
CRATES TO the Western land Of liberty, and
bids farewell to the Rhine forever.
This is not the only county into which
Germany is sending her multitudinous
emigration. During the last dozen years
there has been large German emigra-
ton to South America. Germans have
migrated in considerable numbers to the
British colonies in Australasia. Within
recent years thousands of them have
gone to the gold regions Of South Africa;
and not few of them are to be found
in the British East Indies In fact,
wherever labor is wanted, or land is to
had swarms of Germans are always
ready to show themselves.

The pastor Of the Slawson Church
sends us the following item: The
church, as will be remembered, is hold
ing a series Of revival meetings, which
are largely attended. Prominent among
the speakers is the Rev. Mr.. Chatiee, Of
Illinois. Last Friday evening the build
Jog was crowded, and Mr.. Chafiee was
considerably animated. He was sitting
in chair at the front, his wonderfully
long legs crossed, and his voice sending
forth volume of song. The upper leg
was swinging majestically, the motion
increasing as the singing advanced.
They had just reached the part OF the
hymn where it says, Then l can safely
reach my home, my God, my heaven, my
all, and Mr.. Chaffee was doing his level
best and had just got out-'Then can
safely reach my home, when the oscil-
lating limb came suddenly in contact
with miserable dog that had in some
way got into the house, and sent it flying
and bowling under one of the benches.
OF course Mr.. Chaffee was surprised, but
when little woman popped up in the
gallery and shook an ominous looking
umbrella at him, and cried in voice OF
passion, You kick that dog again, you
Illinoy giraffe, and you won't safely reach
home he fairly macadamized. He sub
sequently told our informant that he
never before was so completely aabber-
gasted so thoroughly circumbobolated,
whatever that means. Ddnbury NelcS.
