DURING the whole time of the CON-
munion services Of the Presby ,erian
congregation Of this place, commencing
last Friday evening, Rev. Mr.. Chiches-
ter, of the Second Presby terian Church
of Altoona, did the preaching. All
the sermons preached we're directed to
protesting church members. moro than
to non-professing people, excepting the
sermon on Sabbath evening. 1t was
the last sermon Of the series, and va.
directly addressed to those outside the
fold. The text for this ringing sermon
was founded in
I'd Samuel, 2kh Chapter, all of which
the reverend gentleman read.
The field of the discourse cannot be
more fully stated than by quoting from
the latter clause of the 18th verse of
the chapter just stated, which reads:
Snow advise, and see what answer shall
return TO him that sent me-"
1t was question put to King David
by q prophet, as to which of three
calamities then hanging over him, be
.would choose to have visited on him for
his sins against the Lord. All of the
acts that led to the fearful visitation
upon David were vIvidly drawn out in

and shaped and fashioned in pleasing

the fold is the time to answer.

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!


Dyspepsia is the most perplexing OF all
human ailments. Its symptoms are simost
infinite in their variety, and the forl0rn and
despondent victims OF the disease often
fancy themselves the prey, II turn, Of every
known maiady. This is due, in part, to the
close sympathy which exists between the
stomach and the brain, and in part also to
the fact that any disturbance of the diges-
tive functions necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,

There was an effort made last winter TO
prevent fishing for period of years OF time
in all streams which had been stocked with
fish, and those who desire to angle In Lost
Greek, had better acquaint themselves, as
to whether the bill passed, so that they may
not be caught in the meshes Of the law.

COMPOUNDING WITH CRIME.

The recent of arrest some of the North
amptou Mass. bank robbers has called
public attention to that robbery, by
which some $4,000 in bonds and Sc.
curities We're distracted from the bank
but one of the most gratifying fea-
lures connected with the affair is the
tirmness os William Gaylord, one of the
heaviest losers, who has persistently de-
clined all offers of compromise, though
many were made by the thieves. To
have several; hundreds of thousands of
ones securities within reach,' as it were,
merely upon payment of small per-
centage on the whole amount, and to re-
fuse to treat with the guilty parties,
shows certain loyalty to right and jus
tice which is almost as heroic as the ac-
ton of the martyr cashier whom Mime
sofa and the country at large has so
lately honored. The general safety of
the community is not often enough con-
sidered in the transactions which lead to
the return of tho stolen property; for
keen rogues are often in this way main
tanned, protected, and thus encouraged
in future crimes. Our criminal codes
are worth comparatively little if crimes
are compounded with, and the avarice of
the sufferer which leads to such settle
ment should be unqualifedly condemned
by public opinion. Better that few
Cor many hundred thousand should be
lost than that one rogue should go I'M
punished. The firmness of this man of
capital in Massachusetts is an example
worthy of imitation in all similar cases.

among the more distinguished members
of the musical and dramatic profession.

love so charmingly on the stage. She

She seems to give her Philip too much

which from all accounts she is shortly
about to do. Third on the list comes
the divine Patti, who has applied for a
separation from the Marquis de Caux.
Every one supposed that when Lucca
married baron, Nelson a London
Journalist, and Patti marquis the cups
OF these three charming and sweet-voiced
pets of the public had touched the high
est measure of sparkling fulness. What,

DENSITY OF CHINESE SUPERSTI
IVON.
ter-Ocedra.

An instance of this is the extraordi-
nary "Paperman' mania which spread
over Central China some time ago, and
was attributed to the Vaccinations of
certain conspirators, with view to en-
barrass the officials and create excite
ment and alarm which would facilitate
their own operations if the occasion
came. They succeeded in creating a
panic, which, perhaps from its very in
tensity, worked it's own cure. People
were first of all alarmed for the safety OF
their queues; the word went round that
by some process of necromancy paper
men were employed to cut off the tails
of the lieges, and that those who suffer
ed this loss were sure to be taken i'll and
die within given period. The politi-
cal import seems to have been the re-
moval of the bad e of subsection to the
Tartar but the common people saw only
the necromancy and the portent and
were alarmed in proportion to the alb
surdity of the superstition. But this
gave place to still more intense terror.
The paper sprites were next credited with
descending on people during their sleep
and producing suffocation. Black cats got
somehow mixed upwith paper-men in the
transaction, land while I've latter were cred
tied with necromantic effect, black cats
were the active agents in producing the
sufiocation. The panic was most intense
at Soocho and Waosin, where people were
actually afraid to 60 10 bed at night, and
work was for some days practically sus-
pended. They slept by day and beat
gongs at night to drive away the threat
ening incubi.-AHa Californian

The cases of tt ese three ladies, all
beautiful, popular, and at the head OF
their profession, are by no means slngu-
lar. Indeed, it would appear that mar
riages for title, position, wealth, or even
love. outside Of the profession seldom
turn out satisfactorily. The true artist
is in reality the slave of her art. she
cannot serve two masters. II she serves
the public and waits upon its smiles
she can scarcely hope to please the exact
ing taste of man whose prejudices and
ideas of domestic life are entirely antag-
onistic to her own. Cases there have
been of actresses marrying noblemen,
bidding adieu to the stage, and adjoining
the new sphere into which fate had called
them; but these are rare. Judging from
the general experiences of the theatrical
world. artists have the best chance OF
happiness who wed either with some one
in their own particular line, or connect
ed directly or indirectly with the dra-
matte or musical profession. This may
not be the true solution of problem
which has often caused the public con-
siderable speculation, but it is the only
one we can hit upon just now, and is not
unworthy of consideration.--C Chicago In

THERE appears to be much difficulty
in finding the right man for leading the
Russians on to Constantinople, the
Grand Duke Nicholas, even if his health
were robust, not being considered suffi-
cicntly eminent as general. 1t is,
however, more than probable that Gen.
Kaufman, the vanquisher of the Tur-
Romans, will assume command when hos

A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Performance OF the Great
Metropolitan Olympiad
in this City.

The Great Metropolitan Olympiad Con-
grcss of Educated Horses ana Trained An
imal Exposition. \ rare combination OF
lirst-cla,s artists and performers gave two
OF their inimitablc performances in thi,
city yesterday afternoon and night, and AT
the eight O'Clock performance especially
there Was an immense gathering Of per
sons, comprising in part some OF the mOSl
influential and leading citizens of Knox
| vile, gentlemen and ladies, in fact til,
elite OF the city was fully represented, an,
| the crowd was so great that the canvas,
was crowded TO its utmost capacity, and a
large number had to be turned away, there
being no room fer their accommodation.
And is was plainly manifest at different
stages in the performance. every one Was
Dountifully repaid for the amount INVEST
ed, and were treated to rare evening
Cntcrtainn cnt.
They are certainly deserving of great
success. 1t was the intention OF Mr.. j.
II. Mack, the Manager and General Direc-
tor, who though quite young. isa veteran
in the show business. having been connec-
ted with number of distinguished
troupes tor some years, to make this some
thing new under the sun, and to bring it
above the level of Il common circus, anu we
are happy to see that lac has so well sue
creied. The entertainment is entirely
different from anything we have had
through this country, and nothing is Sid
or done to offend the most moral or fastid-
ious, which secures for it the patronage of
the elite of all communities where it OK @.
hibits. Besides, it was subject of gem
cra remark rs to the good behavior, etc,
obscN ed among the attaches.
Besides all this, it is u grand combna-
ton of wonders and attractions. The
principal feature of the performance is the
wonderful feats of the herd of wild Bron-
chO horses, which have been so trained as
to equal human beings in their tricks and
acts. and it is really marvellous to witness
the amount OF sense they display, and all
entirely free from bride or bit.
"Nettle.' the champion leapine horse,
may be truly termed one of the wonders
of the world, and his equal cannot be
found.
Other features of the entertainment are
the thrilling trapcZc performances of the
daring Lola" and the Dcnz-r sisters,
whose astounding icats, especially those OF
Lola" are not to be surpassed by any
living being. also the wonderful evUlu
lions of the DenZer sisters on slack wires.
The inimitable and astounding featS of
the celebrated LaRuc family in their aci o.
