The Largest Church in America.

Says a Richmond correspondent
The First African Baptist Church in
this city is the largest in the world save
Surgeons. It numbers 5000. I at
tended a baptismal occasion when 1876
were baprized. The ordinance was be-
comingly administered there was no
undue haste, and yet the baptisms were
125 in an hour. At the same rate the
5000 baptized on the day of Pentecost
could have been baptized by immersion
by the twelve apostles in two hours.
The pastor of this church. the Rev.
Mr.. Holmes, is born leader. He was
a slave till the close of the war. The
church is not, as [ suspected it might
be, mob. It is thoroughly organized.
1t has thirty deacons. The discipline
is strict. If there is anything that the
colored race delight in it is circuses
and balls. But these are strictly pro-
hibited. A short time ago seventeen
of the members engaged in dance.
Whether they danced "round' or
"square," we did not learn, neither did
the church stop to inquire, but exclud-
ed them at once. The very next month
the whole seventeen came back full of
pentinence and promises. They were
restored. The reception of members is
well guarded.

The Ring Finger.

We have already noticed the mode of
procedure adopted by bridegrooms in
placing the ring upon the fourth finger
of the left hand. Though it was
reached simultaneously with the con-
Guiding ''Amen, a far weightier reason
prevailed with many of our forefathers
for selecting this finger to bear the
matrimonial token. ''The finger on
which the ring is to be worn is the
fourth finger Of the left hand, next to
the little finger; because by the re-
ceived opinion of the learned and OK
perienced in ripping up and anatomiz-
ing mems bodies, there is vein of
blood which passeth from the fourth
finger into the heart, called vena
amoris, loves vein; and 50 the wearing
Of the ring on that finger. signifeth
that the love should not be vain or
famed, but that as they did give hands
each to the other, SO likewise they
should give hearts also, whereunto that
vein extended. "-SaUiaabmne's Treatise
Of Spousazs. This idea seems to have
arisen IN Egypt as early as the second
century. Appian, an Alexandrian his
torian, says that in the opinion of the
anatomists of Egypt, ca certain most
delicate nerve passed from the ring
finger to the heart. But the staunchest
uphOlder of this theory was Lavinus
Lemnius, celebrated sage of Zealand,
who lived in the sixteenth century. In
his medical practice he had often taken
advantage Of this connecting artery to
restore fainting women to conscious
ness. "The small artery is stretched
forth from the heart unto this finger,
the motion whereof you may perceive
evidently in all that affects the heart in
women, by the touch Of your fore
finger. I used to raise such as are
fallen into swoon by pinching this
joint, and by rubbing the ring Of gold
with little saffron; for, by this, re-
storing force that is in it passeth to the
heart, and refresheth the fountain of
life, unto which this finger is joined
Wherefore antiquity thought fit to
compass it about with gold" He also
states that this finger was termed
''medicus," since, if any venom entered
it, notice was given to the heart before
it was too late to use an antidote The
govt, also, never afflicted this finger
until the attack had assumed fatal
character This he had observed in
Gallia Belgica, the land par excellence
of podagral sufferers, no Belgian, how
ever long his experience Of govt may
have been, ever suffering in this finger
till death was nigh at hand. -. FL.

as much as possible. If you are afraid

just far enough apart SO that the pan
will sit upon them without tipping.
The latter method will take less lumber

MMkeys in Ladies' Ears.
From the Continental Herald, Geneva

There s one item of the present style
of fashion which [ must notice, Whites
a Paris correspondent, and that is the
extraordinary mania that now exists of
wearing earrings that represent animals
and inn dement's. Thus, you see pend
ing from lady's ear, monkeys, Guinea
pigs, lizards, chandeliers, with candles
in then bird-cages, filed with birds :;
tortoisss, turtles, shovels. tongs, and
who knows what Gold stirrups in the
ears are also very popular, and if the
lady's husband be a soldier she wears
his /" sword and epaulettes' in her ears.
This is not pretty, and no fashion can
make it so. The French, who justly
pride themselves on their taste, say
that these eccentricities come from
over the seas To you they will say
that the Americans introduced them
into Paris to Americans, however, they
say twas the English. 1t may beany one,
in fact, but the French. For my own
part, I can confidently aver that it was
neither Americans nor English who
first wore such atrocities. The new
styles of head-dress for ladies resembles
pig-tail. It is an English innovation,
and I remember of having seen it two
years ago, when on flying visit to
London. All the hair is tied at the
top OF the head, and then it is either
turned loosely back, or it is plated, but
in either case it falls on the neck, and
the ends are tied together with color
ed ribbon. Jet embroidery has become
quite furore. One sees women clad
from head to foot in black, and yet SO
dazzling from the quantity of jet beads
they carry, that one can scarcely look at
them without winking.

Oatmeal as Pre- ventiye of SunstrOke

Sunstroke may be prevented by mix
ing oatmeal with the drinking water of
persons employed in outdoor labor or
in heated exposures, and corn meal with
the drinking water of horses. In New
York city these simple preventives are
used on all the public works and by
most, if not all, Of the street railroad
companies. The meal-water soon be-
comes very palatable. Both man and
beast will go through a hot days work
with more strength and comfort than
by the use of simple cold water, the
imprudent use of which so often causes
sickness and death. Contractors would
find it paying investment to furnish
their workmen with oatmeal water, and
the same may be said Of street railroad
companies in regard to their poor over
worked horses. Oatmeal water will add
very much to their capacity Of endurance
and save many a horse from dropping
off prematurely. alqs

A Notable Trio.

Lucy H. Hooper writes to the Phila-
delphia Press: There was a grand
fete at Mablle, the other night, at
which, I am told, three of the reigning
queens of the denainaoode were present
Cora Pearl, Mrs. Blackford, and
Josephine Mansfield. Cora Pearl,
who is red haired and passe, found her
sell no longer the star of the occasion,
and she consequently retired, leaving
the field open to Mrs. Blackford, who
was superbly attired, and blazing with
diamonds. Her gold-embroidered opera
cloak was gorgeous to behold, and the
plume in her hat was clasped with a
diamond buckle, while her solitaire
earrings have been estimated to be
worth at least $4,000. I have never
seen her myself, but a gentleman who
was present at that tete described her
to me, and says that apart from her
eyes and herfgure, she is not beautiful,
but she is singularly fascinating,
which last criticism her past history
abundantly proves to have been cor
rect.
