Sometimes a laugh will occur in thu
serious-minded congregation of Con-
necticut church, as on recent Sunday.
The clergyman desired to call the atten-
ton of the congregation to the fact that,
it being the last Sunday of the month,
he would administer the rite Of baptism
to children. Previous to his having en-
tered the pulpit be had received from
ono of the elders, who was quite deaf. a
notice to the effect that as the children
would be present that afternoon, and he
had the new Sunday y-sehool song-books
ready for distribution, he would have
them there to sell 10 all who desired them.
After the service the clergyman began
the notice of the bap.ismal service, thus
"All of those having children aud desiring
to have them baptized, will bring them
this afternoon" At this point the deaf
elder, hearing the mention of children
supposed it was something in reference
to his books, and rising, said, And all
of those having none. and desiring them
will be supplied by me for the sum o
twenty-five cents each"

A STARTLING STORY FROM ST.
JOHNS, NEWFOUNDLAND.

Concerning q vessel commanded by
Captain Rideout which was lost on the
French shore of Newfoundland in 1874,
St. Johns paper says: A person from
Bonne Bay related as follows: The Cap
tain had thousand dollars on his per-
son at the time his craft went ashore
near hut occupied by an old hunter
known as Jacks. All of the crew got
ashore and built tent. A certain Bonne
Boy wrecker, with members OF his fami-
ly visited the tent and offered to pilot
the crew to channel. The offer was
accepted, and while the party were cross
ing the pond the members of the crew
were shot, three falling at the first vol
ley. The wreckers cut hole in the ice
and put the bodies down. after robbing
them. Jocks being aware OF the circum-
stances, was brought over: but becoming
sick confessed. The informant also
states that Nova Scotia craft fishing
thers found the remains of the Captain
fearfully mangled under rock on the
shore. The people are confident that
the crew were all murdered by the same
gang Many other vessels and crews be
believes met the same fate. He further
states that people at Port au Port do
little else than plunder, and in his opin-
ion, would not hesitate to use lights to
destroy vessels on shore. The matter
has been placed in the hands of the
Chief of Police of st. Johns to investi-
gate. 1t is said the officers of Her Ma
jesty's steamer Eclipse, now visiting the
shore, will be directed to seek informa-
ton relative to the crimes.

Christ. More of Christ would make
that sad house bright, the waveling soul
steadfast, that mourning heart glad, that
burdened conscience light, would impel
to merciful labors that selfish nature,
and make those who stand apart in
enmity clasp forgiving hands. More of

of the halves are cut off at the ends. The

made of paper of a similar thickness

HOW "TEN BROECK" BEAT TIE

In the pools before the first race, in

events. and looked as fine as silk. His
beautiful name was entwined with red
and yellow ribbons, the colOrs of bis
owner, and there was not soul on the
track but felt he woull win the race if
he did not meet with an accident. Pre-
vious to the start Mr.. Clark requested
the spectators not to cheer the horse as
he passed the stands. as the noise would
interfere with the instructions that
would have to be shouted to the rider.
At last all was ready, and the king of
the turf and st. Louis went back almost
to the eighth post in order to get the
benefit of full running start. They
went off at nice pace at the tap of the
drum, st. Louis keeping right ahead of
his mate. The first quarter was made in
25!, the half-mile in so, the three quar-
tiers in lis, and the mile, under pull, in
1:44}.
Walker had been ordered to make the
first mile in l:45, and now, in obedience
to instructions, he started Ten Brock to |
run for all there vas in him. Necy |
Hale, who now became his competitor,
was full twenty yards ahead of him and
he went after her like a hurricane, lap
ping her on the upper turn, and passing
her at the mile and a quarter, which was
made in 2:O9!. She kept gathering
away at his heels, and was only length
behind at the mile and half, which was
passed in 2:35. He came to the mile and

he can guarantee the payment of Egyp-

and how he can expect that Egypt can
have the rights and privileges of a neu-
