After the preliminary devotional exerci-
ses, the pastor called upon his deacons
to "speak to the question" One i'm
mediately arose and began to describe
the personal appearance Of the Apostle
to the Gentiles. He said Paul was a
tall. rather spare man, with black
hair and eyes, dark complexion, bilious
temperament. etc. His, picture of st.
Faul was faithful portrait of himself.
He sat down. and another pillar of the
church arose and said: II think the
brother preceding me has read, the
Scriptures to little purpose if his de-
scription of st. Paul is sample of his
biblical knowledge. st. Paul was. as
understand it,, rather short. thick-set
man. with sandy hair. gray eyes, forid
complexion. and nervous. sanguine
temperament" giving. like his prede-
cessor, an accurate picture of himself.
He sat down. and then another brother
rose to his feet. He had keen sense
Of the ludicrous, and was withal an
inveterate stammerer. He spoke about az
follows: my bro-bro-brethreu, I never
fo-found in my Bi-bible much aba.
about the p-per-personal appearance of
st. P-P-Paul. But one thing is GER
tainly established. and tina. that is, st.
P-P-Paul had an im-p-p-pediment in
his speech" The effect can be imag-
insd. A ''tidal wave'' of audible smiles
swept over the congregation, the good
clergyman taking his full quota. He
Immediately rose and dismissed the

WHAT TO Do.-There are persons in
the full vigor of health and manhood,
in this city, who pretend that they can
find nothing 10 do. One man, at least.
has furnished an example which others
would do well to initiate. Mr.. T. H.
Stringham, baker and grocer, failed
in business in this and in settling with
his creditors retained nothing for him
self. One year ago this month he made
. settlement in the timber, about half
way between the bay and Lake Wash
ington, with no other assistance than
the labor of his own hands and that of
his wife and boy IS years of age. He
has now a comfortable house, over 800
choice fruit trees growing. over one
hundred Of which will bear fruit the
present year; half an acre in strawber-
ries and half an acre in blackberlies,
raspberries and grapes, with all kinds
of vegetables in abundance for family
and fine large door-yard filed with
strawberries and flowers; and, in short.
the making of beautiful home. In q
year or two the fruit and other products
of this place will bring in an increase
sufficient for the support of the family.
Mr.. Stringham has, in the meantime,
worked in the city nearly every day at
painting. and he has employed no extra
help on his place. The opportunities
are abundant for others to do likewise.

ARsoN.--The Salem papers giveI an
account of the arrest Of two young men
at that place on the charge of arson
Their names are Parrot and Hincklin,
and one of them has confessed that he
and others have fired several of the
buildings burned in that town within
the past year or two. We understand
that they were both held to answer the
charge. and uLtil the matter is investi-
gated we do not deem it best to preju-
dice their case by giving some ugly ru-
mors that are afloat. From the reports
published it seems that the proof Of
their having fred the old tannery bull
ding in East Salem recently is quite
clear. Their action seems also to have
been prompted by some wantonness.
The Record of last Saturday says that
young Hermas Hicklin or Hencklin, was
up before the Recorder this morning,
and waived examination. He was held
to answer at next term of circuit court
in $4,000 bonds. 1t is the opinion of
all that his fall is the result of bad in
as he stands very we'll at the
University, and seems to have the re-
spect of all who know him. He was
doubtless made to believe that it lwould
be great fun to burn down an old de-
serted building like the tannery.

T The attempt to lobby through
the New York Legislature bill to
change the laws of evidence fer the spe>
cial benefit of the defence in the Beech
er-Tilton case, was . 'reprehensibte
thing, and it is gratifying to see that it
has at last failed. Both paaties would
come off with less discredit, in the end,
by contenting themselves with that mea-
sure of uncleanness which the estab>
lished rules of law enables them to pour
on the world, and should refrain from
adding the indecencies Of legislative
lobby to the case. Itis to be hoped the
result of this first effort of the kind will
admonish others not to try it, or that
al subsequent efforts will prosper in
the same way as this one.

GRADING OF FOOLS.
AN immense CROWD!
MANY OF THE CITIZENS OF Sc
ATTLE EXCLUDED FROM
THE MEETING!

In accordance with call, the great
need of which had for some time been
very generally felt, meeting was held
at Hooelum Hall in this city. for the
purpose of grading or classifying that
large number of persons. with slight
mental DEFICIENCIES, commonly called
fools. The call having been general
and the Importance of the meeting being
recognized as very great, the crowd in
attendance was beyond precedent in this
city. At an early hour an attempt was
made to call the meeting to order, but
the jam and confusion was SO great as
to render the transaction of busiaess i'm
possible; whereupon the announcement
was made that all liars, gossips and fools
should withdraw, and that any refusing
to comply with this order. should be in
stantly arrested and dumped of the end
of Yesler's wharf; upon which there was
such q sudden and extensive thinning
out, that for time fears were enter
tanned that a quorum would not be left;
but at length, quiet being secured. the
following classification was unanimously
agreed upon:
l. IRRESPONSIBLE Fools:
All persons haqing SO little sense as
to talk of laboring men and women as
their social interiors. Also those per-
sons so deficient in native dignity as to
desire the establishment of social lines

lion.
2. COMMON Fools:
AL those persons occupied in gather
ing up and retailing the sayings of the
Irresponsibles.
8. B1GGEsr Fools OF ALL:
All those persons foolish enough to
expect that by attending to their own
business. paying their debts, and treat
ing all persons civilIy, they will escape
the attacks of the liars and gossips.
The meeting then adjourned.

al will not result in q verdict against
Beecher. The jury will disagree, from
absolute disgust at the whole story, and
from a conviction that the trial, instead

world q lot of characters which are proof
against slander-so bad, to begin with,
that what Tilton or anybody else has
said about them cannot possibly make
them worse. Beecher, the great preach.
