CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING AT LONG
BRANcH.-At about half-past four o'clock
Tuesday afternoon of last week, during the
prevalence Of the severe thunder shower up
on us at that time, the spire Of the Centenary
NJ. e. Church was struck by the electric fluid
and badly damaged. The bolt struck the apex
Of the steeple, passing down on the west side,
winding slightly In its course, which is mark
ed by a large seam in the Enclosure, at least a
foot wide near the top. Following down the
timber for about thirty feet, it came in CON-
tact with the stirrup az the foot of the timber.
Leaving this it jumped across to another raft
er upon the other side Of the spire, aud after
several of these lodges, 1t reached the roof,
which being Of tin and covered with the fall
ing rain, no doubt dissipated the fluid, for no
trace of it can be seen after reaching this
point. Several of the main timbers are so
shattered as to greatly weaken the structure
so much so that it Is unsafe to allow it to re-
main long in. its present condition, for we
doubt II Il would now be able to Withstand
such high winds as we have recently had. The
damage cannot be repaired at less cost than
five hundred dollars, while builders say that
the spire can be taken down and its place sup
piled by q dome at a cost of two hundred dol
lars.-Lons Branch Daily Nsws.

New RAILROAD ORDER.--A new order, re-
quiring the conductors on the Pennsylvania
Railroad to wear satchels in which all the
company's property in possession of the con-
ductor is to be carried about while he Is on
duty, went into effect Wednesday. The
satchel Is suspended on the right hip, over the
clothing, by . broad band passing over the
left shoulder. As might be supposed this new
arrangements meets with great disfavor among
the conductors, who consider that it implies
dishonesty on their part, yet it is not pre-
ventive, n such was the case The satchels
viii, no donbt, be very uncomfortable things
to carry this hot weather. Accompanying
the satchel are very explicit orders, one Of
which is that all the tickets taken up are to
be dropped through an aperture just large
enough to admit them into compartment
which is locked, and the key kept at each end
of the road to unlock it,. We understand also
that the conductors will be required to wear
UNIFORM in which there are not any pockets
whatever.

The great rains in the West appear TO have

destruction has been great, but as the water
passes away it becomes evident that the de-

On the uplands and prairies, which form the
bulk of the country, the chief trouble has been
the saturation Of the earth and the soaking of

corn has undergone bet little injury. There

The philosophers and theorists are puzzling
their brains to account for the unusual preva-
lence of food and storm just at this season.
Astronomers say the planet Jupiter presents a
very strange and extraordinary appearance
and pretend to discover some remote connec-
ton between his troubles and ours. The re-
lation is not apparent to ordinary minds, even
though Jupiter Pluvius is undoubtedly the
source of the trouble. We like the explana-
ton of the Signal Service officers better.
They explain that an unusual evaporation Of
the SHOWS on the Pacific slope together with
a series OF Westerly winds has carried more
than necessary moisture over the East where
it has been gradually precipitated in the form
of rain. This is ingenious and probably true.

Fruit in Ceylon.

A CEYLON correspondent of the Boston
TRANSCRIPT writes: "All vegetable life
seems to flourish here most luXuriantly.
The cocoa palm we see everywhere along
the coast, and it, with the breadfruit

and then teak or cottonwood tree,
make up a great part of the woody
growth. forgot to add the areca palm,
from which the betel nut is obtained

cooked tastes like a sweet potato, but
not so sweet. The mango is about the
size of an orange, has green, thick skin
and large stone in the center. The
flowers here are very beautiful and in
great variety. The cocoanut tree seems
to be even more useful to these people
than the bamboo is to the Japanese. The
nut is used for food and drink, the shell
for dishes. The outside envelope is put
into water and rotted; then dried,
pounded, and the strong fiber is woven
into ropes and mating. The meat is
also pressed for the OIL The leaves of
the tree are used for roofs, fences, and
to make rough baskets. The sap affords
toby and sugar. The wood also serves
good purposes. The palm leaf is used
to protect the cocoanuts from thieves. 1t
is held vertically against the trunk, and
the ends of the leaflets are tied together on
the other side of the trunk. This is done
before the nuts are ripe; it afterward
becomes dry and if anyone attempts to
climb the tree he cannot avoid rafting
this crisp leaf, which warns the owner.
The banana is twelve or fifteen feet high.

by a new shoot. Sometimes stone is

Absence of Mind.

SOME funny stories are told about
Foucher, the well-known journalist, who
recently died in Paris He was broth
er-in-law of Victor Hugo, and was about
slXty-five years of age at the time of his
death. A short time since Foucher at
tended the bah given by the Turkish Am
bassador in Paris, and when he was pre-
pairing to leave could not find the tag
giving the number of his overcoat; his
hat, being of the opera pattern, was un-
der his arm. He searched all his pockets
IN vain. At last, finding a Turk who
knew him, he went to the cloak-room,
but the servant could not find the over
coat anywhere. So Foucher went home
without it. On arriving at his rooms he
found it hanging in the usual place; the
fact was he went to the ball in his dress
coat only.
A short time since Foucher sat down
to write an editorial, but not being able
to find his eyeglasses was obliged to
postpone the matter. He fastened out
to the store of M. Cam, optician, Rue de
la Paix, No. "a, and asked for pair.
"Let me see monsieur's number" said
the shop-keeper.
81 don't know the number of the
glasses / wear" was the reply.
Twill see, if you will hand me the
pair you are wearing" said the optician
"Wearing-wearing?" said Foucher
putting his hand up to his eyes. "Good
gracious! and had them on my nose all
the while" said the Journalist, heartily
ashamed of his abstraction.
Foucher wishing for cigar the other
day, and seeing an omnibus passing with
| a red light, the same as the tobacconists
show in their lanterns outside the store,
chased the vehicle up The boulevard until
he stopped it, and then discovered his
mistake, chagrlned enough.
So, gace gersa, wishing to go up to the
Place de Bastile, where the red-Hght ON
nibuses run, he saw that colored light on
shop front, went in, sat down in q
chair, waiting impatiently for the shop
to start He discovered his mistake
when the tobacconist asked what brand
monsieur would please to have.
The most serious experience which
Foucher met with happened during the
past winter. He had ridden in a cab to
a theater, and, opening his purse, took
out franc and half to pay the driver,
but put the change in his own pocket
and gave coachee his purse. The fellow
drove away, laughing in his sleeve, nc
doubt, but poor Foucher was about ter
louis FORTY dollars) out of pocket by the
operation.
