The friends of Mr.. Moody are now
organizing a movement in Chicago for
the completion Of his church, pending
his return from Europe. The Chicago
Tribune says:
1--WE do not believe that any form
Of testimonial would be so pleasing to
him as the completion of his unsecta-
rian mission church, about which clus-
ter his fondest associations, or that
anything would suit him better than
to resume his labors where he inaugur-
ated them. To do this the more effec-
lively the material should be placed in
his hands complete. The evangelizer
of Great Britain should not be greeted
with the sight OF half-story church,
standing in all its deformity just as it
was when he left here. All the
churches, evangelical and unvangeli-
cal, liberal and dogmatic, should unite
their efforts TO accomplish this result,
and we have no doubt that the uncon-
verted public will also cheerfully lend
a helping hand in so good a cause"

A Triple Calamity.

Through the Lansing papers we
learn the particulars of a terrible ca
lamity that befell a family residing
at Virobua, Wis, resulting in the
death of three little children, all under
six years old. The oldest, a girl about
five, and her younger brother found a
hens nest under the barn. The girl
reached her hand under to get the eggs
aud was bitten twice by huge rattle
snake. With q scream she withdrew
her hand, when the brave little fellow
said he wasn't afraid of the old hens
picking him, and thrust his hand un-
der with the same result. The mother
was attracted by their screaming, and
dropped boiler of water on the floor,
which she had just lifted from the
stove, and fastened out to see what
was the matter, and to her horror she
found both OF her little children had
been fatally bitten by the reptile,
which had taken possession of the
hens nest. She seized her little ones
in her arms, and ran into the house,
and, ON entering, discovered that her
baby had fallen into the boiling water.
In half an hour the three little ones
were relieved of their terrible suffer-
ing by death,-Des Moines (Id.) Reg.

A writer in Scri6ner's tells the fol-
lowing: One of the most pathetic in
stances of pure Orientalism that eves
came to my knowledge is related as a
positive fact While the children of
the Abeih school were playing togesh-
er at recess, two small girls fell into
pleasant dispute about the size of q GER
tain object-plaything perhaps. "Oh,
looked out of the window and heard her
answer, Why, a little wee thing"
Then the other pressed her still furth-
er, "Well, hOiO little ?n to which the
girl replied, unconscious of the poetry
or the pathos of her comparison, "As
little as was the joy of my father on
the day was bornln

A Strange Dream and its Fulfllment
from the Boston Journal

An Amesbury man had a singular
dream, under the following circum-
stances His father and mother had
recently died, within three or four
weeks of each other, and one night in
a dream he saw his mother standing
by his bed, and little distance away
he saw cot bed with a peculiar COW
erlet, on which lay man with his
back turned toward him. His mother
called him by name and said: Here
are seven dollars" He attached no
significance to the dream until, when
he went to the Post-office, he received
a letter stating that his brother, who
was on a Western railroad, had been
badly crushed, and requested his pres
ence Immediately. On arriving at his
brothers. home he was struck with sur
prise when he found him lying on a cot
bed, with the same kind of coveIlet
he had seen in his dream, with his
back turned toward him. The brother
died, and the gentleman Yves still
more astonished when, on settling his
affairs, the first bill presented was Just
81 in amount. Strange as the story
may seem, it is told by the man him
self and he is a gentleman whose We
racity no one would impeach.

Withdrawal From the Episcopal
Church.

The Leesburg (Va.) Mirror states
that on Saturday last the Rev. +. M.
Maury resigned his charge at Middle
burg, Loudon county, and declined
even to otficlate on Sunday. His re-
signation is not merely severance of
his pastoral relations with the Middle
burg parish, but is complete and final
withdrawal from the Episcopal
Church. His reasons for this action,
1t is learned, will be shortly set forth i'm
a letter to the Bishop.

To Cook n Husband.

Many good husbands are spoiled in the
cooking. Some women go about it as if
they were bladders and blow them up /;
others keep them constantly in hot water.
whilst others freeze them by conjugal
GOODNESS; some smother them i'm hatred,
contention and variance, and some keep
them in pickle all their lives. These
women always serve them up with tongue
sauce. Now it can not be supposed that
husbands will be tender and good ifman-
aged in this way; but on the contrary,
very delicious when managed as follows:
Get large jar, called the jar of faith
iulness (Which all good wives keep on
handy, place your husband in it and set
him near the fire of conjugal love; let
the fire be pretty hot, but especially let
it be clear, and above all, let the heat be
constant. Cover him with affection,
kindness and subsection, garnished with
modest, becoming familiarity and spiced
with pleasantly; and if you add kisses
and other confectioneries, let them be
accompanied with sufficient portion of
secrecy, mixed with prudence and mod
Grafton. We would advise all good
wives to try this recipe, and realize what
an admirable dish husband makes when
properly cooked.

Work of DesDeradOes.

A desperate attempt was made a few nights
ago, thirty miles west of Terre Haute, to rob
the express car of train No. 5, on the Van
dalia route.
The train was the st. Louis and Cincinnati
Express, which is due at Long Point, water
ing station, at half.past twelve a. m. When
the train drew up to this place, a cherries
one, and stopped at the tank, a party of six
or eight masked men emerged from their
concealment, and dividing their forces,
three of them boarded the engine, while the
others devoted their attention to cutting the
baggage car and passenger coaches loose from
the rest of the train.
Although the engineer offered q courage
Gus resistance he could not stand against his
antagonists who held their revOlvers mt his
head, determined to make him run the
engine and express car some distance from
the tank.
He manfully held his post, however, in
spite OF the number of the robbers and their
threats to kill him, and refusing to run the
engine further, was instantly killed by be-
ing riddled with pistol balls.
The robbers then joined these fellows in
their attack on the express car, the door of
which Messenger Burke, in the meantime had
succeeded in barricading. From this for
tilted place, Burke kept the attacking party
at bay until help arrived, when the robbers
scattered in all directions, seeking safety in
the woods.
Six shots were fred at Burke, but his bar
ricade, from which he showed, in return
shots, as great desperation in protecting
property, as his assailants did in their attempt
to steal it, rendered them Intellectual.
AS the car and engine were run out more
than quarter of q mile from the rest of the
train, the passengers at the first alarm hnr-
ried to the assistance of the messenger. Had
it not been for this ready aid the robbers
would have no doubt succeeded in carrying
off the large amount of money which was in
the messengers safes.
When these desperadoes saw their attempt
to be a fruitless one, inasmuch as help was
coming to the beseged Burke, they ran into
the woods. The trainmen and passengers
followed in pursuit.
After lively chase, one of the robbers
was captured. President McKeen, of the
Vandalia road, on being informed of the oc-
cnrrence, Immediately sent three good of
ficers to the place of the attack.

Feminine Matters.

They call the new bonnet fashions
bower" There are great many of it,
but as it is the latest style, it is the
right bower"
The new style of walking for ladies is
borrowed from the crab.
1t is the mode now to wear a stocking
OR rather two stockings-that match
the dress.
Jackets are made quite loose in front
and cut away to show the waist under
meath, which resembles vest.
Jennie June says no bustlcs are worn
now, but skirts of stffmuslin are hounced
at the back, SO as to produce q graceful
tOurnure.
For summer silks in light checked or
striped patterns the trimming is rows of
knife pleating of solid color OF the shade
prevalent in the striped or checked.
Tall ladies like the triple apron be-
cause the horizontal trimming breaks
their appearance of too great height.
The rage in Paris for plaid stufs still
lasts, but it will not survive the sum-
mer.
Bonnets with wide brims, trimmed
with strings of black or light tule, ac-
cording as the bonnet is dark or light,
are universally worn.
A fashion which will take, and which
is beginning to be adopted, is that of
trimming bOnnets with thread lace.
The color most worn just now is cream
white or that of yellowish tinge. Silks,
flowers, feathers and ribbons are all of
this tint.

At Warwick Castle.

Writing of Warwick Castle, a cores
pendent of the Boston transcript says
AT the pOrter's lodge we were detained
tC look at an enormous bowl, about the
size of an ordinary domestic copper,
which, we were told, was the porridge-
pot of the celebrated Guy, Earl of War
wick, with the spear and other warlike
weapons of that renowned champion. A
long, winding way cut through the solid
rock and trellised with rich, luxuriant
ivy, conducted us to the gateway, fhnked
by two towers, which open into the inner
court. The entrance hall is an immense
apartment, extending seventy feet in
length, with richly carved oak ceiling.
The walls are hung with curious ancient
armor, and other relics Of a warlikc age.
In two suits of apartments on both sides
of this hall is arranged Il choice colec-
ton of pictures of the old masters. A fire
occurred here about two years ago,
which destroyed number of these paint
ings, together with a library as extensive
as it was valuable. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to describe the immense collections
of objects of art scattered in great pro-
fusion throughout the apartments, COM
prising costly gardc robes, cabinets,
tables of buhl and marqueterie, vases and
bronzes, with many veritable antiques.
One object of much interest is the War
der's Horn, and its history is told by the
following inscription: "Phil. Thorn
massinus fes. ct exclude. cum privil.
SUNNI. pontificis ct superior. Licentia
Rome. Hermit $685." 1t measures two
feet two inches across, and nearly four
inches diameter at the mouth. a COM
plete series of ancient bows also adorn
the armOry. In the grounds, in the CEN
ter of large conservatory, stands IA
nous vase called the Warwick Vase. 1t
is mounted on a tolerably high pedestal.
The effect of this vase, which is executed
in the finest white marble and is six feet
eleven inches diameter, is very astonish-
ing ; in magnitude, form, and beauty of
workmanship, / believe it is the most re-
markable vessel of antiquity in England.
We had u delightful walk through the
park and grounds, the eye being en-
livened by the bright green of the trees,
while the Irregularities of the ground af-
ford the most varied views of the gigan-
tic castle, which towers majestically
above the wood. There is magnificent
cluster of cedars of Lebanon, and near
them is an oak tree planted by the hand
of Queen Victoria while on visit here

UsefnI Inflammation.

In taking the plants out of the pots
do not cut around the rim of the pot
with an old case knife to loosen the
roots, for nothing can be more injurious,
as the fine fibrous roots are thickest
around the outside, and by this cutting
they are sure to be mutilated or killed
The right method is to invcrt the pot
and plant, and by rapping the bottom of
the pot sharply, the ball of earth and
roots will dropinto the hand, and SO be
transplanted without disturbing the
growth of the plant in the least.
A WRITER in the Chicago Tribune
says: The carbon contained in the
vegetable organism of which the coal is
composed, and the bituminous m after
also, together with the sulphur, lime,
and other mineral matter composing the
coal, furnish substances which swine
seem to need. We for several years
kept 500 hogs on the refuse of city ho-
tells, and had no cholera or other serious
disease among them. They were allowed
ed all the soft coal and rotton wood they
would consume. Sometimes they would
eat largely of it, and then again it
would be left untouched for days at a
time. We should not hesitate to allow
hogs all the soft coal they wanted.

LAwEs and Gilbert, after very dry
time, as soon as heavy rains commenced,
observed that no water ran from the tile

capillary absorption on the MANFRED
lend, while it passed directly through
the drains in the unmanured land.

plentifully with salt and pepper, and
