THE NEWBURG DEACON.

A Newburg Deacon recently lured a
sharp and angular woman with two
small boys iuto his private pew. The
Deacon, as became his rank, sat next to
| the pew door. Immediately at his left
hand he placed the two small boys, aud
close beside the further boy sat, with
her face intently fXedupou the preacher,
and one OF her sharpest edges turned
toward the Deacon, the angular mother.
The Deacon was not only good, but
genial; the precise kind Of Deacon who,
If he were selling horse blind OF both
eyes, would frankly mention that the
anima's left eye was not quite sound,
and would offer to make deduction
from its price iu consequence thereof.
He smiled sweetly upon the two small
boys, and then gave his whole mind to
the sermon, which, as betiLted cold
Sunday, was full OF genuine Cal
Vinism and extremely satisfactory
to the Deacon's orthodox tastes.
Presently. the preacher ex-
pounded with remarkable eloquence and
feeling the grand doctrine o. the total
depravity OF infants, the good Deacon
stretched out his lett arm a!oug the
back Of the pew, in order TO enjoy his
favorite theology at his ease. Now, it
happened thai this outstreLched arm
hand came gently in collision with an
other and much smaller hand. The
Deacon Thought that the latter hand be-
longed to one OF the small boys, and in
the overfiowing goouness OF his heart ne
took the hand In his, and gently and al
fectionately squeezed it.
There was sudden shrek that ST.
fenced the preacher and appalled, the
congregation, most OF whom thought
that meb0dy had set down upon a
crooked pin, while others feared that
the meeting-house had taken fire. The
true state of the case was. however,
soon made manifest. The angular f.
male rose up, and, decorating the in-
pans, smote the astonished Deacon
in the face, while she
loudly exclaimed. "squeeze my hand,
will you! Pll let you know, you old
sinner!" There arose chuckling
among the youth of the congregation.
Tue elder male members felt that their
Deacon had brought ruin upon himself,
and the female members wondered what
he could possibly have seen in that ugly
creature to lead him into temptation.
AS the angular woman showed an un-
mistakaDle determination 10 renew her
attack, the Deacon felt that flight was
his only resource. He seized
his hat and fed towards the
door. 1t opened before him, and closed
upon his vanished form. From that day
to this no Newburg eyes have rested
upon that ruined man, and the susp-
cion is gaining ground that he has either
committed suicide or become book
agent.
The moral of this affecting tale is not,
perhaps, as clear as coulu be wished.
1t seems, however, to teach the folly OF
any Deacon who tries to conciliate
small boys, and the danger of proxIm-
ity to angular females. Persons de-
string other and further morals are at
perfect liberty to mix them to their sew
eral tastes New York Times.

CHINESE COUSINS.

In the course of the evidence of Chi
nese interpreter in the Ah Moon murder
trial to-day, the witness was asked what
WAS the application of the term 'tcous-
ins," as used by the Chinese, or, in other
words, what was the relations existing
between Chinese calling each other
cousins. He replied that all Chinese
having the same surname were cousins
under the social laws Of China; that it
made no difference from what State
or part OF China they hailed from,
they called each other cousins, and
that this applied to the Chinese all
over the world. The witness was asked
the question: III these cousins did not
consider it not only their privilege, but
their duty, to sustain each other, right
or wrong?' He answered that they did.
Suppose" SAID The counsel, "a member
of the cousin family by The name OF Wing
was killed by member OF a cousin
family named Sung, would not all the
members of the Wing family be obliged
to pursue the sung family until they Oh
tained revenge on one of the other OF
the members?" "Yes, sir" replied the
wltness.-[ San Francisco Bulletin.

VIRGINIANs thought they had the mat
ter down pretty fine when they passed
the bell punch saloon law, which i'm
poses duty of 80 much a drink,
on every glass OF beer, wine or
liquor, retailed in the Old Com
monwealth. But Oregon has gone her
one better in the way OF novelty in the
tax system. Every man in Oregon who
patronizes saloon is required to pur-
chase license from the State at cost
Of So per annum, and when he calls for
drink must produce his license. A
severe penalty is imposed on saloon
keepers who sell to persons not having
such license. All members of the family
under twenty-one years OF age are per-
mitted to purchase by the same license,
and when the boys want to make night
of it they must first wait on the head OF
the family and borrow the license.
Another phase of the system is that the
head Of the family and the boys can't all
get on bender at the same time without
going together.

THE SENATOR ABROAD.

The following anecdOte ofthe late Sem
ator Nye is told by the Virginia (Nev.)
Enterprise: "He was telling us incl
dents of journey to Europe, from
which he had then just returned.
Among the rest, he said the Sultan OF
Turkey ordered in his honor, as Sena-
tor OF the United states, a grand review
of the army in ConstantinOple, and the
Grand VIzier mounted him upon a steed
which he described as magnificent.
Said Nye, He was pure Arabian. He
had coat like velvet; he felt like a
myriad OF steel springs beneath man;
MS eye was between a lions and wo-
mans, with all the courage of one and
all the human gentleness and beauty OF
the other, blended; he knew l was an
old man, and was as tender of me as a
child. When l dismounted could not
re train from expressing TO the Grand
Viz er my admiration for the incompar-
able creature. He heard me through an
Interpreter, and then boWing low, begged
me to accept the morse as u mark OF
the profound respect which the Sultan
entertained for me.' tDid you accept,
SenatOrp we asked. A peculiar look
came into the old mans eyes as he re-
piled: Il made rapid calculation and
saw that had not money enough, and
could send to no place Tor enough money
to pay for the freight on the animal to
New York. So L took high ground; l
bowed IN return to the Grand Vizier,
and bade the Interpreter TO explain to
him that, while touched to the heart by
the appreciation and generosity OF the
sultan, it was, l was sorry to say,
against the laws of my country for
Senator otthe United States to accept a
present from any foreign Prince, Po-
Lentate, or Power.'"

thorities. The position OF the Presi-
dent and Secretary OF State is that
a State government that can not sustain
itself has no right to call for support
from the general government. The
United States will preserve pence and
guarantee the State republican form
OF government as authorized by the
Constitution, but it will not interfere
with the right of the people to say who
will administer that republican form OF
government. This, in nutshell, is the
position of the President and Cabinet
on the Southern question, or the North
ern question, or any other question where
there is a contested State election, and
two sets of officers claiming to have
been elected. q
