81. MATHEWS lEPISCOPALl CHURCH.


IL our last weeks issue we noticed
the fact that meeting of the mem
bers and friends of this Parish was
held on the evening Of Feb. 22d, and
that resolutions were adopted look
ing to an early completion Of their
new Church Building. We now lay
before our readers condensed state
ment of the remarks made at that
meeting in relation to this subject,
and which are interesting to all our
citizens, as well as TIC the members OF
that denomination.
At meeting of the members and
friends of St. Matthews Church held
Feb. 22d, 1876, it was resolved, that
an effort should be made to complete
the new Church Building during the
present year. A statement of the
past history and present condition OF
the new edifice, was made by the
Senior W arden, and on the sugges-
ton of the Right Rev. the Bishop OF
the Diocese, it was resolved, that a
succinct statement should be pub
lished in the newspapers of the city,
for the information Of the public, as
well as those members of the Parish
who were not present on that occa-
sion.
From the commencement of the
work on the new building, it was de-
terrlined by the vestry that no debt
should be contracted which should
remain as an incumbrance on the
property. The liberal subscriptions
made by our citizens before the work
was begun, would. it was thought,
be nearly sufficient to complete it
for occupancy. The original plans,
however, were subsequently modified,
and instead of q plain brick edlfice.
it was determined to erect one of
stone, and of a character, which.
while 1t would better meet the wants
of the Parish, would also be an at
traotive ornament to the conspicuous
position it was to occupy in tie fla

Why They Are in Congress.

Under the heading "a Good Time"
the Atlanta (Ga) Courier of the I'd
inst prints the following: Waterman,

Of his pen. The following is good enough
to be embalmed, and we trust it will be.
At anv rate, we give it start in the di-
rection of Immortality. Referring to the
denunciatory epithet-Confpderate Con-
gress-which, because of the ex Confed-
crates in it, the Radical papers are so
fond of hurling at the body now assem-
bIed at Washington. he makes the fol-
lowing palpahle hit: They are not
there hy their own will; not at all. They
created a neat little government of their
own, which was altogether Confederate

not have been in it to day; and the hate
fml 'Confederates' would not be in your
Congress but for your physical superior
ity. We stayed out as long as we could;
we managed TO put several hundred
thousand. more or less, of yonr best i'm :.
ported Europeans under the daisies
with here and there a few natives; we
fought, and fought until we could fight
no more. Then we, had to go back be-

blame Yourselves. If you do not want
us to mingle with you and have share
in the government. why did You not let

when we went out? We'd have been
happy enough fyou had let us alone.

A Remarkable Tree.

A tree of very remarkable properties,
which grows in the island of New Gale
donia, is at present engaging the atteD-
iion of the French Gov. 1t is
called the niaouli (melaleuca leucoden-
dronl, and is believed TO be the canse
that no form of marsh fever ever prevails
where the tree grows. Another note
worthy thing about it is that it's bark
consisting of a series of thick LAYERS
more or less interwined. resiSts the act
ion of fire. The tree resembles the beech
in the outward appearance of the bark,
in its open branches and in the smallness
of its leaves. 1t grows in great plains
and open places where no other trees
are seen. It f1ourishes quite as we'll on
dry hin sides as in valleys where the
roots are permanently submerged in wa
ter. The leaves diffnse very agreeable
aromatic odor.
The niaonli tree is, however. not so
restricted in its range az some have sup
posed, being in fact found in Australia
as well as in New Caledonia. Its wood
is Of great use in ship-bnilding in the
latter island, furnishing excellent knees
for snch small vessels as they bniId
there The French Government seems
resolved to make an attempt to natural
ize it in Algiers, where it il expected to
rival the eucalyptus as a promoter of
public health. and to be susceptible of
much wider cultivation.

income of twenty-five hundred dollars,
lived at the rate at least of five thousand.
The woman was naturally domestic

small house, if she had been permitted
to live in it with her husband and make
it their home. But, no, he considered it
necessary that they should live in sty

the eclat of living with elegance, with
out incnrring the obligations of showing
hospitality, as no one expects anything
from people who board. But life drag

dinners and clubs; she went out but
rarely, and when she did, felt like a
fraud, for she knew the diamonds and
rich dress which her husband insisted
upon her wearing, were not the fruit of
hope~t living or working. Fifteen years
of this life put her in a mad house,
from which she was transferred to her
grave, her husband mourning her with a
great show of affection, and having a
dozen empty carriages to attend the fun

fool or weak knave- Jennie June.

A Woman who Could Swim.

the following: a. young married woman
Mrs. Jessup. who lives at the Hildredth
crossing of :he Eel river, on the route
between Ukiah and Round Valley, one
day last week got adrift in small boat
which had been fastened TO the shore
and into which she had gotten for mere
Pastime. There were no oars in the boat,
and by the time she was pretty we'll out
in the stream and apparently bound for
a considerable voyage, Mrs Jessup con-
cluded something had to be done, so she
took the rope attached to the bow of the
boat in her mouth, slId or jumped into
the river, swan ashore, going partially
with the current and making trip of
forty yards or 50, reached some willows
or bushes first and then pulled through
to land, towed the craft all the time and
tied it safely. and then walked back to
the honse dripping wet and without any,
body knowing of her excursion until
she herself made her appearance and

A novel operation recently performed
at the Marine General Hospital is thus
described: A patient came there with a
cancerous under-lIp, which quack had
made worse by the use Of caustics. The
patient being placed under the influence
of ether, the lip was cut down and re-
moved, the mouth slit far into the
cheeks on both sides, the flesh turned
down, and the inner membrane and bone
scraped to remove all traces of the can
Ger. Then the cheeks were brought for
ward over the chin, and sewn together
to form new underlip, a new and hand
some mouth was formed by sewing up
the slits and cutting out triangular
notchrs in the corners, and that the new
lip might not lack the natural redness,
the lining membrane was brought out
over the edge and sewn down. A new
face having thus been put upon the pa
tient, he went home rejoicing.
