BUYING A PEw.-"What'r they doin,

ter, as he passed the church with his box
of :ools on his shoulder. He was about
half full.

"Just what want" said Mr.. Moran,
the carpenter, and he walkedin.

won it. lie paid his money, and then
took off his coat and went TO work. He
had the side Of the pew ripped out before
the people noticed what he was at. Then

his shoulder, and voice wanted to know
what he was doing.

"an' want to put this under the buckle

"But you can't take it out of here"
said Deacon Doolitte.
"Yes, kin. tn go out of that middle

THERE ha. just been made publica fun
ny incident of the recent Ohio election. .-
Mr.. John c. Covert was running for the
Legislature on the Republican ticket,
when it was recalled by the opposition
managers that in June, 1876, he had
written n very sensible article on "Cheap
Living" an article in which he showed,
with the ability of Miss Juliet Carson,
that soup could be made at Il cost of six
cents forpeasc, onion, asparagus, spinach,
and small bcet-b0ne which the butcher
was almost willing to give away, a soup
that was savory and nutritious and would
make n meal fora poor mans family
Mr.. Covert was thereon assaled as "the
soup bone candidate" who thought that
refuse beef bones were good enough for
American workingmen cartoons pres
ented him as ladling out soup u exchange
for workingmcn's votes, or Ks running
down the wOrkingmen, armed with a soup
bone and syringe charged with broth.
The result was that it took the official
count to decide that lie was elected by
some twenty votes, though his District
went Republican by large majority.
This recalls the fact that Tom Corwin
won his first Congressional election in
District hopelessly Opposition, by telling
how his opponent, who did indeed wear
"store Clothes" slept in a night-gown.- -
He intended the story for a joke, but the
freemon of Ohio took it in earnest, and
ralying against the pampered aristocrat,
de eaied lin. a somewhat similar story
is told Of Il Whig candidate in New York,
who, stopping for a dinner at a wayside
inn, ordered his beelsteak to be broiled
and not fried. Whether his alert consti
tuents thought he was relapsing into sa
vagery or putting on airs is not known,
but they promptly made that broiled beef
steak live issue in the campaign, and he
was defeated. Boston Post.

4 FALLEN MINISTER.

Rev Hugh c. Walshe, who has had
charge Of the Congregational Churches
at Fairyiew, Pescadero, and on the San
Gregorio creek, has been guilty of a
crime which is thus described by the San
Mateo gazette;
One day last week Walshe went into
Garretson's store at Pescadero and order
cd a can Of oil. The salesman went into
n rear storeroom to get TIE article and
brought it out. As he emerged into the
store Walshe suddenly jumped up and
rushed out cXcloiming, "This diarrhea
will he the death Of me yet" The clerk
on going to the safe, short time after,
found 5000 in silver gone. The matter
was explained to Garretson, and as there
was no one but Walshe in the store while
the clerk was after the oil, watch was
set over all his motions. In the morning
Walshe took the stage for San Mateo-
Garretson took horse and buggy and
kept the stage company. At San Mateo
Walshe took the train for San Francisco.
Garretson started for the metropolis in
the car, taking "pard along, and tel
egraphed for detective to meet him. On
the arrival Of the party in the city.
Walshe registered at the Russ and was
shown 10 his room. Garretson at once
gained admission to his room, when the
fol IN. 4

said the reverend gentleman, washing his
hands in invisible water.
"Oh, yes, you do. I'm out 5000.
want you TO produce the money. Two
men who were looking through the win
dow saw you take it,"
" Well, that's wonderful, l declare.
have only half the money here, but can
tell you where the rest is"
SO saying, he Gshed $500 out of his
satchcl and informed Garretson that tho
other ha!f of The $500 was concealed un-
der his study table in Pescadero, where
1t was found soon after. The next day
the churches received gentlemanly bus
mess letter from their pastor, giving de-
tailed statement Of their financial and

be critically accurate, and ending with
the simple announcement, IL shall not
go back any more"
1t is believed that, finding himself
alone, after the clerk went for the oil,
and observing the safe open, he took out
the money, and had part fit in his pock-
cts and the rest under his coat when he
ran out trying to hold himself together
in his own embrace, when the clerk came
in. The money was mostly silver, and
bulky.
Walshe has been good worker since
he went to Pescadero. Under his ener-
getic action the church at Fuiryiow was
built, and the congregations there and at
Pescadero kept ina iourishing condition
He appears to DO Il younger brother of a
titled family; to have large income,
and to have wife and family in Ireland.
He was liberal man, ana, while devot-
ing all his energies to his charge, give of
his money when he coLid not afford to-
lie is believed, by those who know him
well, to be partially doranged.
A San Francisco paper adds that on
the 10Th inst. Walshe lett for Australia,
and that $3.50 is reported as lost to one OF
Washes churches by his de.alcation.
