The Climax Of Prejudice.

The Boston Globe chronicles recent oc-
currence at tine neighboring town OF Lynn,
which demonstrates how far ignorance and a
narrow mind can carry person under the
assumed cover of piety. 1t says:
'sOn the evening of New Years day an en-
tertainment in aid cf the poor of the CITY was
announced to take place at the vestry of the
North Congregational Church, the exercises
OF which were to consist of vocal and instru-
mental music, readings, etc. The idea OF
such an entertainment originated with young
persons, a girl and boy, aged respectively
fourteen and fifteen years, the former being
totally blind, but an excellent vocalist and
musician. The time for the opening exercise
had nearly arrived, when a deacon of the
church in which the entertainment was being
held walked up the aisle, and with uplilted
hands and affected horror, announced that
the entertainment could not proceed as long
as the house of God was desecrated by two
American flags, which had been suspended as
a curtain, and, at the same time, as an orna-
ment. AT this strange announcement of the
deacon, the audience naturally became indig-
nant, and a consultation was held which re-
suited in the members of several churches
proffering the use of their chapels to the
folks. The time having grown so late it was
decided to postpone the entertainment, and
together with their parents, the yonng folks
left the hall thoroughly disguised at the uD-
happy conclusion OF an affair which could not
have failed of success, but for the affected
conduct of an overzealous person. The pro-
posed entertainment will take place at Con-
cert Hall at an early day."

Very MANY causes are assigned for this loss OF lie

BRoNCHo TEAMs.-At one of the stations
l noticed one of the mules in our new
team was blindfolded, and that three men
had firm hold of the others until all was ready
and the driver gave the signal; then the men
stepped aside and drew off the blinds and the
team started
Thls found was no uncommon occurrence,
for many of the mules used on the road are
so untame and vicious that often il is as much
as .hree or four men can do to attach them TO
the stage and keep them still till the signal
for starting is given.
They are tough, wiry creatures, and are
usually called "bronchos." When once start
ed, the driver guides them with wonderful
skill, and never stops to rest or water until
he reaches the next station, however distant.
There is one great Pleasure in riding with
such vicious team. You are never aft aid
the driver will kill his animals by hard driv-
ing. You rather wish he would. When stand
ing they start and are off at the least rattle or
sound that can be construed as an excuse.
/ once saw such a team start from a post
office, make wide sweep on the prairie,
come back TO the spot and stop, eight times,
before the postmaster could succeed in put
ting the mail safely aboard. And yet have
seldom heard Of any casualty resulting from
the use of these "broncho' teams This alb
sence Of casualties must be owing to the gen.
orally level surface Of the country, and the
great practical knowledge of the driver.
The station houses along the route struck
me as lonely places, and not a littl dangerous.
