APaInTul Church Incident.

The Cincinnati Commercial Of Sat-
urday says: yesterday one of our
churches, which has recently lost its
Pastor, was thrown open for Christ
mas worship, and talented gentle
man from an adjoining city was Sc
lected to conduct the services, includ-
ing communion. Unfortunately, this
gentleman had been induced by some
of his friends to partake of Christmas
egg-nogg. All unused to a beverage
having a spirituOus liquor for one of
its ingredients, the gentleman's head
was somewhat affected by his pOta-
tions. We are not informed that he
had drank deeply. The officiating
gentleman managed to get through
the services with considerable pro-
priety until he commenced the dis
course. His subject was the wild
ow's Mite and his sermon had been
duly prepared. But he wandered sad
ly and talked at random, skipping
from one point to another, until it, was
painfully evident that heswas not in
condition for such a solemn occasion.
At last after he had talked about an
hour, he seemed suddenly to have
made up his mind that it was neces-
sary for him to say something per-
sonal. He commenced to talk about
the liability Of frail human nature to
err, and hinted at the fact that he had
erred. By this time the Wardens of
the church had communicated with
each other quietly, and PASSED the
word around that the people, who
were not many, had better drop out
one By one. This was accomplished
in quiet and dignified way. They
did not leave in a body, with noise,
but simply got up one by one and
passed out, leaving the eloquent man
talking TO empty benches. The ut
most decOrum was preserved, and the
strategy as well as the dignity of the
congregation, placed as it was in
most perplexing situation, is highly
commended"

PIe the Bane Of AmerIcan Home.

The New York Evening Post de-
votes q leader to a philippe against
'pie," and it is calling attention to
a wide spread health destroyer in so
doing. Pie Is the baue of the AIneri-
can household, the lurking devil OF
the cupboard. 1t beguiles childhood
by seductive appeals to the uneducat-
ed palate, and by gradually vitiating
the taste it becomes cherished weak
ness of the adult, in the end, IL ad-
hered to, banishing all the peace and
joy Of the head, heart and stomach.
OF minee-pie close observer has not
inaptly said "Moist .and indigestible
at the bottom, fiaky and indigestible
on top, with untold horrors between. {"
Other pie has the exerueIating char
acteristics Of miDce with 3 difference
in the degree Of horrors deity hidden
between the upper and neither erusts.
And this concentrated dyspepia
is carried everywhere. The poor
children are allowed by thoughtless
parents to take pie to school and
MUNICH it six times a day, thus dark
ening their wAole future. Married
couples become sour and morose, and
at last separate. They pronounce the
cause ineompatibility Of temper.
They are wrong; it is pie. Promis-
ing homes are broken up; the young
man goes out into the world in an
ger, and the old mans curse follows
him. Pie again on both sides. What
an absurdity for a Teformer who car
rIes in his shrunken face the distort-
ing, tell-tale marks OF pie to rave
about narcotics and stimulants
Eradicate the imp of the larder and
there will be one less influence at
work to drive young men to seek the
imp which lies in the bottle. Let Us
have a genuine cookery reform.

From the seaford CDel.) Citizen.l
Three Masked Men Tie q ManlGO . Board
and Throw Him Overheard.

We are furnished with the particu-
river one night abouttwo weeks since,
which we give as follows: 1t seems
that while the sloop Helen James, Of
New Jersey, Capt. Longacre, was ly-
ing at anchor of the mouth OF the
NanticOke River, between l and 2
O'Clock A. NJ, three masked men ap-
preached In a small boat with muffled
oars, and climbing noiselessly on deck,
secured the negro man who was en-
ployed on the sloop, whom they bound
and gagged, and then proceeded to the
cabin, which they entered. The Cap
tain who was in his berth at the time,
was aroused by the noise, but before
he could get up to dispute thei= right
of entrance, a revolver was placed
significantly to his head, and q grufI
voice commanded him to keep quiet.
He was led from the cabin by the
three rufflans, and one OF them pro-
ducing a strong cord, the three bound
him to q board, and cast him over
board. Fortunately, the knot became
loose, and keeping hold Of the board i,
he floated around for some time, when
q Captain Of passing boat, attracted
by his cries, picked him up. He told
the Captain what had trsnspired,
when the latter put his boat about and
went back. The thieves had escaped,
and the first thing they did was to re-
lease the frightened negro. Next they
proceeeed to the cabin, where they
discovered that q watch, q valuable
gun, a suit of clothes, and $50 in
money had been taken: The Captain
has strong suspicious as to who the
parties were, as he believes one Of
them to be the same person who was
present when he received the $50 in
the morning. The negro said they
went away as silently es they came.

Romance IG the Ohio PenItenlIary.

COLUMBUS, December ga re-
markable case of true love has come
to light in the Penitentiary that has a
romantic twInge to it. In May, 1873,
Thomas Miles and Anna Mcfarland
were sent to the prison from Licking
County, for burglary, under the same
sentence. Not long since, the woman
asked a guard about Thomas, wanting
to know how soon he would get out.
On inquiry OF her, it was learned that
they were engaged to be married be-
fore coming to the prison, and that
she was not really guilty of burglary,
but pleaded guilty that she might be
allowed to suffer with her lover. She
told the guard that il Thomas was still
true she would marry him when they
got out. Thomas was interviewed,
and he was still true to his Anna. The
prison authorities were moved at the
situation, and allowed them an inter-
view, which is said to have been quite
an affecting scene. Their terms ex-
pire on the same day-Saturday, JAM
uary 81, 1875. 1t has been arranged,
at their request, to hold the ceremony
in the prison chapel on the day of
their discharge. The Chaplain will
perform the ceremony. The twain
will start out with freedom again as
one flesh, after two years confinement
within the same walls, with but one
interview i'm that time. 1t may be
added that both h'ye been exemplary
prisoners. - Victi

of New York, and Is = good illustra-
ton OF the opportunities OF life ia this
country: "Mister, can not you give

not a very desirable candidate for Of
fee work and office running, but the
gentleman said, Come along aud let
US see what you can dO.n The hoy
was taken to the law Office, and the
gentleman suggested that perhaps the
best thing for the boy to do would be
to get a second neither limb, and at
the same time gave him an order
that would as far as possible make
him 8 walking man. The boy did
the errands OF the house, but found
time to read Coke and Blackstone,
and the other day the one-legged lad
was admitted 10 the bar, and he has
an important position ia the law

the little lame boy appealed. We
hope that Mr.. Martin will have many
pleasures in life, but we think no act
Of his will give him more satisfaction
than the result Of that speech !:

HOW TO MAKE DEMOCRATIC VOFEs.
Beautiful Illustrations OF the Election

In almost all the parishes in this
State where the negroes united with

taken by the white citizens to evinee
their respect and good feeling for these
negroes, to protect them and to aid
them in every manner possible.

The October FIOOds in Madras.

The dangerous river floods to which
Madras is always liable after the Oc-
tOber rainfalls, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette, have been more than usually VII
Olent and destructive. During the
greater portion of the year the rivers
of the presidency are mere dried-up
channels, with hardly q trace of wa
ter; but when the wet months ar
rive, the unremitting down-Pour gen.
orally so saturates the surrounding
country that in short time the chan
nels are filled and become swollen
rivers, which hurry along with the
most terrific velocity. About the
middle of October of this year the
rainfall was particularly heavy, and
the rivers began to swell to such
height that fears were felt Cor the
safety of the railway bridges. These
anticipations were soon realized, and
the danger proved to be even greater
than was expected. On the lines be-
tween Madras and Bombay and Cal
cutta six bridges have been complete
ly carried away by the floods, and
large portions of the lines have been
seriously damaged. The severity of
this years floods is said to be due
partly to the fact that the outer or
rainy portion of q cyclone swept the
hills from which the streams flow,
and that this unusual abundance of
water caused several of the tanks
which are formed throughout the
country for the purpose of reserving
water for the artificial irrigation of
the land during the dry season to
burst, and still further augment the
water of the rivers. The destruction
caused by the river Penn2r and its
tributaries, the Chithavarty, the Tau
pugnee and the Cheyar, was especial
ly noticeable, everything that offered
the smallest obstruction to the rapidi-
ty OF the waters being utterly swept
away. All communication between
Madras and Bombay was entirely cut
off, and the mails were delayed for
five or six days In spite of the ef-
forts OF the railway engineers, it can
hardly 0e expected that the lines in
terrupted can be restored for some
time. It is to be hoped that, as the
bridges have to be rebuilt, care will be
taken to make them strong enough
to resist floods and to PROVIDE against
the recurrence OF disasters which,
though on this occasion they do not
appear to have been fatal to any one,
might well have been lamentably de-
structive to human life as well as to
property.
