IHE CHAMPION CHURCH BEGGAR.--Allud-
ing to the recent dedication of the Rev. Mr..
Ialmadge' S new tabernacle in Brooklyn, and
TO the raising OF money to pay off church in
debtedness, " "Burleigh" writes to the Boston
Journal that the great beggar of the cont-
nent, as he is called, is Rev. L. f. Ives, of
Auburn, New York. He has attended the
dedication of 800 churches, most of which he
has freed from debt. He usually takes several
days in the preparation. Meetings are held,
plans are drawn, leading men consulted, and
the sum agreed upon placed on a list. The
audience see the smooth operation of the work
the machinery, the pues, and the wires are
out OF sight. The time devoted to the coec-
ton Is given up exclusively to Mr. Ives. He
clears the deck like a commodore preparing
tor action. During the two hours and half
OF his work he makes things lively. He is
full OF racy anecdOte, humorous story, illustra-
tlon, and incident. As if in doubt how to pro.
ceed, he suggests that they begin with 81 900
subscriptions, or $500. The men who have
agreed to subscribe these sums are in different
parts OF the house, and ring out the amounts
sonorously. The good work goes on until the
smaller amounts are reached. All the while
the getting of money is interspersed with story
and song, and the mirthfulness of the audience
is kept up to fervid range. All this machinery
was introduced at the tabernacle dedication to
lift subscription of $35, 900. Mr. Ives was
i'll his glory. His sallies brought peals OF
laughter from the mouth as we'll as money
from the pocket He gets we'll paid for this
work; he receives from $3.50 to 81, 900 a
Sunday, according to the amount raised
In his sphere he is supreme. He is in con
slant demand, and is quite at home wherever
| called" "

Congressman Ii. o. Pratt of the IVth Iowa
District, is having hard fight in his attempt
to get a denomination with his back pay in his
pocket. He was elected two years ago with
large majority, but it is thought now that if
he gets the Republican nomination he cannot
be elected. The Republican journals of his
district are bitterly opposed to him. talking in
this way: Mr.. Pratt's most successful move
has been in pocketing the increase of salary,
while voting in favor of the repeal of the sal
ary grab law. This of itself is enough to con-
sign him forever TO political oblivion, and we
must mistake the temper of the people on this
subject if they do not manifest at the polls
their disapprobation of this action"

SELF FMUTILATIoN.- seems Incredible that
any human being will resort to self-mutilatiOn
simply that he may avoid working for iveli

fellow men, yet this is often done in China.
Chinese beggars will main themselves in va
rious ways, cause ulcers to form on their bodies
and actually destroy their eyesight. In short,
the Chinese beggar seems to stop at nothing
which he thinks will have the effect of attract
ing the attention Of the charitable to his for
lorn and miserable condition. In Pekin-a
city in which loathsome cripples of all sorts
are horribly numerous-four men were seen
one day crawling on their hands and knees one

the stumps were thoroughly cicatrized, but

On inquiring into the cause Of this surprising

an accident which occurred at fire, where
their legs had been burned off, 1t was ascer-
talned however, that beggers in the northern
province of Shan-tung were in the habit of re
moving their limbs for the purpose of exciting
sympathy, and that the operation was per-
formed by beggar who made it is profession.
He takes off the leg by first tying piece oil
cord tightly around the calf, and when the
time arrives for so doing, the cord having
gradually cut through the flesh, he saws
