Parson Newman, late Inspector Of Con
sulates, but once again preacher 10 the
President and the Metropolitan Church
''with the claims attached" and gen
eral political, Republican stock jobbcr.
The parson has taken the lead recently
in meetings of the local clergy and
church officials, TO consult about ex-
tending formal invitation to MOODY
and Sankey 10 take in Washington
when they swing around the circle.
The invitation has been made, and It is
said the Evangelists will ''pitch their
tent on this camp ground" etc, some
time in January. And now---just think
of tia report is going about to this
shocking effect: That Judge Edmunds,
Postmaster and Secretary of the Ma
tional Republican Campaign Commit
tee, etc, ETC., has employed Parson
Newman to engineer his Moody and
Sankey project, to make il a success at
whatever expense, to get up tremen-
dous excitement, in short, 'to make
Rome howl - And for what purpose?
To divert public attention from the in
vestigation proceedings Of Congress
next winter, And the same report says
that the assessment, or, more politely,
the voluntary contributions, which
Judge Edmunds is just now squeezing
from department clerks and Others de-
string a continued Republican ascend
ancy, are TO be used by Parson New
man and his agents in making the
Moody-Sankey proceedings here rival
those Of London and Dublin in the way
of sensation and notoriety. This Is
shrewd move. But there really are per
sons who don't believe word Of this
report sad. GuYoN.

A writer says The Bedouins pride
themselves ON having much more intel
ligence and refinement, romance, and
poetry than the settled Arab races.
They have an especial contempt for the
fellahin. One day Bedouin threw
this in the face of Christian fellah i.
They had some high words about it /,
upon which the Bedouin said; "Well,
thou shalt come to our tents. i will
ask my daughter but three questions ;
we will note her answers. | will ac-
company thee To thy village, and thou
shalt ask thy daughter the same three
questions, and we will compare her Ian
gliage with my daughters. Both are
uneducated. My daughter knows naught
but natures language. Thine may have
seen some of towns, and villages, and
passers-by, and have some advantages
over minc.n
They first went to the camp.

The ground was stony, and she ham,

iron against the stone, but the ground
would not open TO receive her visitor. y
"Change IL, o my daughterln
At dinner her father knew he had rice
on his beard, and that the girl was
ashamed.
"What is it, 0 my daughter?n
"Nly father, the gazelles are feeding
in valley full Of grass"
He understood. and wiped his beard.

ayes, my father. -
She called him: "Nly father, the
light is at hand
allow dost thou know, o my
daughter2n
"The anklets are cold to my feet;
smell the flowers on the river bank and
the sun-bird is singing
Thence they went To the fellah's vii
lage 1t was now his turn:
Fellah-" My daughter!'
Girl-s'What do YOU want, father"
Take cur horses and picket them. y
The ground being hard she hammered
useessly, and, losing her temper,
threw down the stone, crying:
~ have knocked it SO hard, and it
won't 20 in
''Change it then, girl"
At dinner he purposely dropped some
rice on his beard. She pointed at him,
began TO laugh, and said, ''Wipe your
chin, my father"
On going to bed he said: awake us
early, my daughter. =
"Yes, father" she replied.
Father she called at dawn, 'get
up; il is daylight"
allow do You know, my daughter?'
my stomach is empty; | want to

The fellah was obligedto acknowledge
the superiority Of a Bedouin household
over his own.

A Little Mistake.

He took the evening train up from
Cleveland, and in looking through the
ears discovered a female sitting alone
in seat, and it instantly occurred to
him that she might be lonely. A veil
dropped over her face, but there was
no reason To suppose that she was not
good looking. and he gallantly raised
his hat and sat down beside her, re-
marking with lovely smile:
"It's lonely travelling alone
She just murmured reply, but the
accent was captivating, and he was won
ut the start.
He was practised in all the arts Of po-
lite tactics, and spoke to her softly Of
this great, desolate world, with appro-
pirate illusions TO the human heart.
lie told her how he had hungered ami
thirsted after the affection Of n true
heart, and had yearned to feel the
breath of the heavenly flame Of love.
No, hs sighed, he had no wife, no
one To love and caress him, and mend
his suspenders; and when he inquired
if she was treading the path Of life sim
gle and alone, she murmured SO pen
sively and sad that he felt compelled to
put his arm on the back Of the seat lest
she should fall out Of the window
which was closed.
They reached Norwalk, and just ~
the train stopped he heard grating,
Kissing sound close to his ear, and then
the words.
"Y-o-u william; You old hypocritical
SIMMER, I'll make you think you've

flame, YOU old owl =
He looked around just far enough to
get glimpse Of pair Of flashing eyes
and the face Of his wife, who had muir
INJURED 50 fondly to him along the jour
ney. a sudden spasm seized him, but
he managed 10 accompany her from
the train, and as they moved into the
darkness toward home her flashing eyes
lit up his pale face with spectral effect {.

A young lady in Philadelphia has
broken her engagement because her
lover ''made fun of the centennial"
This shows how strong public senli-

Bxperimeutal borings will be made,
and if these result satisfactorily the
main work will be nj once proceeded

prisoners to be held with warrant.
1t is related of a Partisan painter

The latest French ''crisis" has pass

if its determination to carry the pro-
vision for the election of deputies by
the. Scrut1l d reimbursement, 0 by
districts as in this country, instead of
on a general ticket in each depart
ment. The change is favorable to the
conservatives, as it prevents the rad
icals overriding the country constitu-
encies. The change was vehemently
opposed by G~arnhetta and the ex-
IRENE republicans, and was carried
by a small majority. 1t is now an
nounced that the government will
favor a dissolution in December.
There are still some details TO be pro-
vided for, but the settlement of the
main question is looked upon as
strengthening the MacAIahon govern
ment. The country is settling down
to the new state of affairs, and the re-
public is stronger to-day than it has
ever been before.

At last one body has been found Of
the people lost on the City of Waco,
at Galveston, that of Captain Wolfe,
the pilot, who boarded the steamer
and brought her to The anchorage
where she met her fate. Captain
Wolfe is n Mystic man, and his re-
mains will be sent home. The body
had marks which are believed to
have been burns, and there seems lit
tie reason to doubt the correctness Of
the aipWnsition that the entire ships
company vas caught by the burning
oil and that none escaped from the
vessel. The Rev. Peter A. Maelling
of Troy, put his daughter on board
the steamer just before she sailed,
and hetestifes that while he was pres
ent at least forty barrels which appear
ed to contain oil were placed on deck
fore and aft, so filling up the space
that it was with difficulty he could
make his way out. Mr.. Maelling
viii at once bring a suit for damages
for the los of his daughter.
