A stranger appeared at John Gels & Co.'S
bank, the other day. and called for Chicago
draft for S.. Mr.. Gsis informed the fellow
that he had better secure post office order, as
it would be the cheaper plan. The fellow de-
INJURED TO this-said that he would not take
this trouble TO save ten cents-and took the
draft. A few days afterwards Mr. &, is rccciy-
ed notice from Preston, keane & Co, his
bankers and correspondents in Chicago, that
they declined payment OF the draft. as it had
the appearance OF being altered-the draft call
ing.for Sl6l. In the notice of the p. otest APP
peared the Information that the draft had been
endorsed by Geo. p. Marsh the person who
first received i'll. VIM Conner. and Chas. p.
kelleg & Co-elothing merchants in Chicago.
A lew days ago Mr. Gels received letter from
VIM Conner. of Concordia, Kansas. in which
Conner states that he has received protest no
tice and asks information concerning the draft
Messrs Preston, keane & Co. certainly deserve
much credit for the skill displayed in detecting
the forgery.

Charles JennersOn, son OF Dir. w. d. Jen-
ncrson and aged about ii years, Was smothered
to death at the elevator, on last Saturday. He
was found in one of the grain bins, from
which grain was being carried at the time,
buried several feet under the wheat. One of
the workmen heard the cry of the boy and the
machinery was soon stopped, employers and
employees rushing to ascertain what had hap
hened. The boy was nowhere TO be seen and
they very naturally soon formed AN opinion
that he had stumbled from he.patform above
and fallen into the identical wheat bin from
which he was afterwards taken. We under
stand that some 200 bushels bad to be rcmov-
ed before he could be found.% The proprietors
Of the elevator, rs also the employees, were
very prompt IN their efforts to rescue the lite
OF the poor boy, but it was impossible to do it,.
The boy had been working about the elevator
in his spare hours for some months. He was
bright, very smart lad and was noted for his
mechanical ingenuity. lie Was buried in Gyp-
SUN Greek Cemetery last Sunday.

Old Mr. Collamer, one Of the members OF our
church is extremely deni. Last Sunday the
clergyman, during his sermon, had occasion to
Introduce quotation, md. as it tTas quite long,
he brought the volume with him, and when the
time came he picked up tue book and began to
read it. We always sing the Old Hundred Dox-
ology after sermon at our church, and Mr. Col
1Amer. soeing the pastor with the book, thought
the time had como, so, while the minister was
reading. he opened his hy1nn-book nt the place.
Just ~ tie clergyman laid the volume down, the
man sitting next to aIr: Collanor began to yawn,
and Mr. CoIlamer, thinking he was about to sing,
immediately broke out into Old Hundred at the
beginning " Secondly" and as, OF course,
there was perfect silence in the church, the
effect Of M1. Co!1amer's vocifcration WAS very
startling. But the good old man didn1
notice that anything WAS the matter; go he
kept right on mud sang the entire verse
through. When he concluded he observed that
everybody else seemed to be quiet excepting Q
said out loud to the man who yawned, ''What'a
tho matter with this congregation anyhow ?
Why dou't they go homer" The man turned
scarlet, and the perzpiration broke out all over
him, for lie fclt that the eyes Of the copgrega-
ton were upon him, and he knew that he would
have to veil to mako Mr.. Collamar henr. So he
touched his lips with his finger as sign for the
understood tho motion. - Going to sing another
hymn, hoy? All right" md be began to fun
bic his hymn-book again. Then the sexton
sailed up tho aisle, and explained matters cut
loud to Afr. Coilamer, and that gentleman sub
sided, while the minister proceeded With lls DIS
course. The elders have written Mr.. Collamer
noto requesting him in the future not to join
ent upon the ribald boys In the gallery.-3fdz

Some interesting "reminiscences Of famous
family have been unearihetl in Paris. OF which q
correspondent of tho PalI-lfdu Gazette writes ~
follows:
An interesting sale OF autographs has just
taken place here. One Of the most curious let
ters disposed Of was written oY Nine, de Cam
pan in tho year VII. Of tho Rep.blic, to Joseph
Bonapartc. It contained such extraordinary
passages as this: The ctkoyenns Leclerc en-
tered my house Six months ago, and has made
astonishing progress sha can now read and
write" The lady in question was Napo'eon'a
sister Pauline, who first married Con LecleEo,
who perished in st. Domingo, and who was after
yards better known as the lovely and rather
disso1ute Princess Borghese. It is strange to
learn that the Blister Of the first captain Of tho
sge WAS, perhaps, unable to sign her marriage
contract. Another Bonapa1tis: letter waa quite
as we'll worthy Of notice Is tho above, being i'd
dressed by Lucien Eonaparte to big uncle Car
dinal Feach. Tho lnnguage is not such as
Of The Church. The Cardinal, most likely
prompted by Napoleon, had advised Lucien, who
always exhibited m extraordinary amount Of
Independence, to put away his wife, aud 1ucien
replied: II have been outraged BY you once
more in q manner Of which I hardly con-
mamma in details, being willing to suffer
anything from her. AZ for you, cease this
want OF zcapoct. Be consistent and have
some noble feeling; at least have tho good sense
not to asslnllato mo TO jerome tfEthcr OF Inc
present Prince Napoleon), md spare yourself
the shame Of your useless and covardly advice !;
Ia word, leave OF writing to me until religion
and honor, which you tIead under foot, Lave
dissipated your blindness; and. if you arc
destined to remain such es you aprcar in your
letter, ut least hide the baseness OF your senti-
mcnts under the purple, and make yon1 way in
silence along the road Of ambition. These are
my last conusols; they arc worth more than
yours. and I wish you enough honor and juds-
mont to profit By them. YouR NEPHEW

The Origin OF Some Of LOngfc11oW's
Poetry.

From Lertn7e By James r. ]1t1d..
It is always Interesting to know under what
circumstances l. poet has framed an immortal
poem, or sonnet, OK song. As happen to know
something of tho origin and birth Of many Of
Longfellow's poems, let me diyulee few secrets
in regard to them. Tho - Psalm OF Life came
into existence on bright summer morning in
July, 1888. in Cambridge, as the poet eat between
hie chamber. It WAS voice from his inrnost
heart and he kept 1t some time in manuscript,
unwilling to part with it. It expressed bis own
feelings at that time, whom he Vas rallying from
the depression. OF deep affection, and he h1d
the poem in his own heart for many months
BE was accused OF taking the famous Terse,
t.Art is long and time is deetins," from
Bishops poem, but I happen to know
that was not In bis mind, and that
the thought came to him With Al much freshness
and originality as If nothing had been written
before. " There is reaper whose name is
death c-;stalized at once without effort, in the
poets mind and be wrote 1t rapidly down, With
tears filing his eyes as he composed it. The
looked out upon calm and beautiful summer
evening, exactly suggestive Of the poem The
moon. q little strip Of silver, was just setting
behind Mount Auburn. and Mars vas blazing in
the South. That fine ballad, Tho W1ocs Of
The Hesperus,'' was written in 1889. A violent
storm had occurred the night before. and az the
poet sat smoking his pipe about midnight by the
ire the wrecked HespeIus came sailing into his
mind. He vcnt to bed, but the poem hnd seized
him, and ho could not tleop. He got up and
wrote the celebrated verses. 1.-The clock vas
striking 81 he said, ''rhen I finished tha last
ssanz.." It did not come into his mind by lines.
but by ohole stanzar, hardly oausing him An Of
fort, but flowing without let or hindrance.
One Of the best kuown Of all Longfelo"'s g
shorter poems is "E1celsior." Tho word hap
pened to catch his eye late one autumn evening
in 1S41 on a torn piece Of newspaper, and
straightway his imagination took dro at il.
Taking the frEt piece Of paper at hand, Which
happened to be the back OF letter received
that night from Chnrles Sumner, Lonsfellow
crowded it with verses. As first written down,
"Excelsior" differs from the perfected and pub

The following story comes from Ireland: Two
men bad quarrel in liquor-Bhop. They ad
iourned outside to settle the dispute. The first
1aan, being from Connauglt, Immediately seized
& lump OF stone and let fly at the head OF hls
opponent who dipped h's head and missed the
glass window, and did much damage. A Magis-
trate was culled upon next morning to determine
which OF the two sonld pay the cost. The evi.
dence clearly showed that the aim Was good
one, and that if the second man had not dipped
his head he would hayc been struck. ''There-
foro," said the Magistrate, " he must pay the
damages, as it ia certain tho first man didn't in
tend to injure the window, aud the window
would not have been injured if it had not been
for the act OF the second man."

The hitherto unpublished memorandum book
in which Gen. Kleber daily wrote the thoughts
and reflections which arose in his mind during
the expedition to Egypt is appearing in the cot
umns Of q French newspaper: Eonaparte is not
fortunate successor in Egypt. is B. loved:"
says Keber. ''How could he he? He loves no
body. He does not know how to organize or
manage; and, nevertheless, wishing to do every
thing, he organizes and manages. Hence con-
fusion and waste, which reduce us to absolute
want in the midst Of plenty. He has never any
fixed plan; all goes BY skpa and Jumps; the day

BHUFELDT.
ihe testimony Of A1r. 6hufelds established
the "tree " were broken OF, whether they rep
resented any OF the pointa Of Oalviniam WAS .
matter OF doubt.
One thing VAS to be regretted Between the
opening Of the discussion In the Interior and
bringing Of the charges, the prosecutor did not
go to Prof. Swing and try to bring about fra
ternA and doct1inal agreement. He had not
even felt moved to seek conference with the
elders OF his church when he found himself
wrestling with doubts as to Prof. SWINGS o1tlo-
do1y, OF at later day when he found his heart
burdened With the fear that this, loved pastor
(svinE) was at heart an unbe1iever in erangel-
ical doctrines and dangerous teacher Every
means Of private mediation should have been
tried and exhausted before such prosecution
was entered upon.
THE PROSECUTORS ARGUMENT.
Mr. Noyes then touched the prosecutors a.
Eunent, saying it WAS supported BY asgump-
tlons and not by facts, and did not challenge
yery serious consideration. Tho sermons Of
Prof. Swing naturally and readily admitted Of
n q evangehca! meaning, and they we're full OF
other than an evangelical meaning, except by
torturing and pereerting the language.
There vas not minister in that or my other
Presbytery who would stand for moment the
test to which the prosecutor had subjected Prof
Swing; not one Of them who had not time and
time again uttered paragraphs substantially tho
same IN phraseology AZ those which any Unita-
rian, or any person rho held to the Darwinian
or spencerian theory Of development, might ut
ter. Prof. Patton said he believed tho Gospel
The Free Kcligionist said tue same. Wero they
therefore alike? God Forbid And yet they
we're, II Using the same terms made men alike.
It was asserted that Prof. Swing used equivocal
and ambiguous language. Strange. in all but
one or two instances. the prosecutor knew what
he lSwing) meant! [Lauglter.I
