Al interesting race was rowed at Con-
stantinople on April 10, between one Of
the Gettysburg's service cutters and a
crack boat belonging to the English gun
boat Cockatrice, manning eight oars.
The latter assumed the colors and racing
dress and put on all the frills usually as
sumed by champion crews. The Cocka-
trice's crew challenged by tossing their
oars under the Gettysburg's bows. The
Gettysburg's boat was twenty-four feet
long and the Cockatrice's twenty feet.
The former was fully one.third heavier,
but was exquisitely modelled. To equal
izs the race il was decided that the
American crew should pull ten oars and
carry a coxswain and 100 pounds dead
weight. The course was two miles up
the Bosphorus and return to an imagi-
nary.line drawn from the Gettysburg to
the shore. The American crew pulled
the distance in SO m. 21s.; the English
crew in Aim. 49,. The Gettysburg's
men won by fully one-third of mile.
taking the lead after the third stroke and
increasing it to the end. The weather
on the day of the race was delightfully."-
fine. Sixty Americans on board the
Gettysburg witnessed the race. The
Britons came up as a champion crew,
more or less trained, but the Americans
spent two weeks in active training for
the event.

AFRAID OF THE DEVIL. - A painful
scene appears, by the account given OF it
in the Stirling Journal, to have occurred
on Sunday, April g.. in church near
Gartmore, England, in that county. The
minister. who is in the habit Of warning
his congregation on special occasions
against the Vaccinations Of the evil one.
was delivering a discourse on his favorite
theme, when suddenly large window
blind and roller behind the pulpit lost
its hold, falling right over the preacher
and completely concealing him for a
time from his flock. In its descent the
roller smashed number OF window
panes, and the clatter of the falling glass
added panic to the already terrified con-
dition Of the enshrouded preacher Ig-
norant Of the cause Of the sudden dark
ness and horrible noise, he thought he
might have exceeded the bounds of dis
erection in his denunciations Of the devil,
who had therefore arrived hastily in per-
son bent on retaliation. A frightful
shrek OF II am goneW echoed through
the church, and the maddened preacher
with one bound cleared the pulpit. nor
ever stopped until he reached the ex.
treme corner of the edifce. 1t may be
we'll imagined that the suddsnness Of
this alarming incident and its dramatic
nature exercised most powerful effect
on the nerves OF all who witnessed it.
Fortunately there was no general panic
or the consequences might have been
serious; but the story should be lesson
to those ministers who touch upon the
personality Of the devil to retain their
self-possession under any circumstances,
and not to leave the pulpit unless abso-
lutely elected from it by force.

Letter from W. R. Junction.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VI,
july 9th, 1877.

JULIA I III, lO( I.
Mr.. EDITOR:
Dear Sw-Our Republican friends
feel very sore because Samuel ]. Til
den did not bow IN humble alteration
before r, B. Hayes, on the occasion
Of his late visit to the city of New
York Now, Mr.. Editor, did Mr..
Tilden do anything wrong in not bow
ING in humble submission before the
man who held the position gained by
traud) that by right belonged to him
self? Some of our Republican friends
say that he showed himself to be no
man, at all, oy his conduct on that oc'
casion. Why should Mr.. Tilden
cringe and bow to Mr.. Hayes Be
cause Mr.. Hayes and party had stolen
the Presidency away from him after he
was honestly elected President by the
frcemen Of these United States =? No,
forbid it, Almighty God. Why
should he scrape and bow to a fraud,
then ? For the reason that he belong
ed to rich and powerful party, and
| might add, also, the meanest party
that GODS sun ever shone upon Alb,
we have hit the nail on the head now;
this is the very reason. The old par
ty has become so rich and powerful
by steallrg from the government, that
if we Democrats do not bend the
knee to them, we are worse than the
Arabs of the desert. Now, Mr. Ed,
tor, if Mr.. Tilden had knelt before
Mr. Hayes and kissed his great toe
he would have been a fine fellow, in
their estimation. But Re done no
such thing, and we honor and respect
him for it. And every good and re-
spectacle citizen will respect him for
the course he took upon that occasion.
Mr.. Hayes and the Republican party
may do their uttermost to cover up
their dark and damning deeds. Yet
they can not do it, for the word trait
or is so indeliby stamped upon the
forehead of one, and the word fraud
upon the escutcheon of the other that
they never can be effaced. You re-
member Mr.. Editor how this same
party promised us, during the late
election, better times, FIVE would let
them guide the old ship of state four
more years. Well, we did not let
them, but they stole it, the same as
usual. And as we look abroad through
out the land, what do we behold I?
We turn with horror from the picture
for it causes our hearts to stand still,
and the blood 10 chill in our veins. If
this is the better times promised us, for
humanity's sake, let us have no more Of
it. Yours Truly, N. r. c.
