A Heroic Clergyman.

The London correspondent of the
Brighton Daily Ne,cs writes: On Sunday
morning Mr.. Moncure Conway, preaching
his usual sermon in his chapel in Fins
burg, made strong attack upon the
National Church, but subsequently
modified it so far as to admit that it was
possible for some clergymen of the church
to be of use in their day and generation,
and he referred especially to the rector
of neighboring parish, whom he did not
name, hut who was evidently Mr..
Septimus Hazard, Rector of Bethnal
Green, who is now lying dangerously i'll
of scarlet fever. This is the third perilous
illness he has had since he has been in his
parish; each time he was caught while
visiting his sick poor. On one occasion
he fell down suddenly. ill in his pulpit.
It was found that he was suffering from
smallpox, and he at once said he would
go to hospital. A cab was brought to
take him there, but he refused to enter
it, lest he should be the means Of infect
ing other persons; and, a hearse happen
ing to pass he declared he would go in
that, and in it he went TO the hospital
rare instance this of pluck and SELF
devotion. His next illness was typhus
fever and now, as have said, he is sut-
feripc from a disease-mo terrible still.
Five hundred year (and two curates to
pay out of it) is scarcely, excessive pay
ment for such life as that. 4'f

Our Burglar Interviewed.

Constant practice is improving our
burglar, and he really bids fair to make
his mark sometime in the profession of
his choice. An odd job of his recently
was bit of fine art He called casually
at the residence of Mrs. Nancy Poole,
Just north of the Hooker scbool-house,
and after chatting pleasantly with the
inmates of the house, and rummaging
around to his hearts content, took his
departure without doing any damage
He did this because there wasn't any
thing valuable enough to lug off in the
house. He entered by cellar window,
and first went into the second story,
which was occupied by three boarders.
He entered the room of one of the men,
who, thinking that it was a mate of his,
said: "Is that you, Bill p to which the
burglar pleasantly said, eyes" Then
our burglar went down stairs, and taking
box of letters, etc., from the bureau in
Mrs. Poole's room, carried it into the
kitchen and looked it over leisurely by
his dark lantern. The lady heard him,
and supposing it was one of the boarders
who intended to start of early, asked
what time it was, and the man replied,
"Three o'clock" He continued to STUN
BILE around the room adjoining her cham
Der until Mrs. Poole's suspicious were
aroused, but he told her in answer to hel
Inquiries that he was "Bill." He ther
coolly went up to the room which he had
first entered, got bunch of keys from
the pocket of some clothes OH a chair
opened a chest, and examined its con
tents, looked in valise and scrutinizet
a closet. The man in bed suggested tt
him, when he was about half through
still thinking it was one of the othel
boarders, that the burglar had bette
light the lamp, which the visitant did
and continued his search. Finally HI
went down stairs in disgust at finding m
booty, and out by the cellar which he en-
tered. And the boarders know that ]
was our burglar, for there are tracks II

DIR. JASPER MAIN, who lived in the
reign OF James ], of England, was cele-
brated as a scholar and a wit. He dis
PLAYED through life strong propensity
for innocent raillery and practical jokes.
Just before he died he told his servant,
who was sadly addicted to intemperance,
that he had left him something that
would make him drink. The servant,
as soon as his master was dead, impa-
tiently opened the legacy, expecting OF
course, to find q heap of treasure; but,
alas his disappointment was great on
finding nothing but a red herringl

just now appeared quite tempting 10

"and was thinking of turning my back

lie quickened his steps, for it was in
tensely cold, but before he had gone far,
he saw, long way off, little group turn
the corner of the street, to come towards
him. 81 wonder where they're off to-"
he said, "and Polly, too, ] declare! I'll
just step out of sight, and follow them
when they pass by" So he stepped up
a passage close athand, and stayed there,
hoping he would not be noticed. In a
few minutes his children passed-Arthur
and Willie, and Polly, and Susie-all SO
well wrapped up and so chatty and
merry, that he thought surely they must
be out on some happy errand. Before we
follow after them with the father, we will
learn what took place before they started
out.

The first persons who entered into the
business in the city of Lon
don, England, were two brothers, who
came there from Lombardy, and, as a
trade sign, they adopted that of three
balls, which was their family crest at
home. The sign has since been used by
the trade generally. This is said to be
the actual origin Of the three balls,

GrovelIl1g in the Dust.

The Rock Island Union, pretending to
speak for the Republicans of this county,
in regard to the unparalleled outrage COM
mitted by Grant and Sheridan, in Louisiana,
says:
They don't believe that anything was done that
was not essential 10 the preservation of the state
government and of peace
What was done was destructive of the
state and of peace, and was done only to
keep the usurpcr Kellogg and his plumber
ers in power. If the Republicans of Rock
Island county approve it they are either
ignorant of the facts, ignorant Of the prin
ciples of republican liberty, or else they
are the willing and abect slaves of cor
rupt military regime whose object is tie
destruction of republieanlsm and the con-
centration of all power in an autocrat at
Washington change of government, ex-
cept only in name, to centralized military
dictatorship.
