Mohammedanism is making very
rapid strides in many of the distant
provinces of China, says a French
missionary. Not only, too, is the
religion itself spreading thus sud
denly, but the Chinese followers of
the prophet seem ripe for an insur-
r%ection, and it is feared that the
entire provinces of Kansuh, Shensi
and Kweitchow may ere long be in
a condition OF open revolt. 1t is
reported that Tso Tsungtkan, their
governor, is in severe straits, and
threatens to resign his command
unless he receives very considerable
reinforcements without delay. Tsoi is
a man of great ability, courageous
as a soldier, an excellent tactician,
and fully competent to direct mill
tary operations. He labors, how
ever, under the disadvantage of
having his troops equipped with
condemned rifles, explosive FIRE
arms and almost pon-explosiYe
gunpowder,

The amiabilities of some of the
Republicans toward each other in
Washington reminds one of an in,
stance at the conclusion of Samuel
Johnson's great dictionary. John
son, when he had finished the work,
received a note from his publisher
to this effect "Ardrew Miller
sends his compliments to Samuel
johnson with the money in pay
ment for the last sheet Of his die
tionary, and thanks God he is done
with him." johnson replied:
Samuel Johnson sends his COM
pliments to Andrew Miller, and is
very glad to notice, as he does by
his note, that Andrew Miller has
the grace to thank God for any
thing.-[New York Express.

A Human Fertilization in Iowa.

A case of human petrifaction is
reported in Hamilton county. All
that was mortal of the mother of
Mrs. John Bone was buried at or
near Homer. Recently the remains
were exhumed for the purpose of
transportation to the old family
buryiDg ground at Oskaloosa, la.
Upon opening the coffin it@was dis
covered that the remains were in
process of petrifaction - turning
into stone. In fact the body was
SO plump and rigid that it was safe
ly lifted from the wooden coffin in
which it was originally placed to
the metallic case in which the re-
mans were sent to 0skaloosa, by
placing the hands under the head
and feet and raising it up bodily.
The general appearance of the body
was somewhat similar to dark sand
stone, and there seemed to be no
offensive smell about the remains.

that active operations will begin in

Just occurred at Crowle, in Lincoln

pounds. This is an unusually in
teresting case, because Mr.. Liggott
seems to have found a regularly

course, a delusion that such a trans
fer amounts to anything in the eyes
of the law beyond adultery with
the husbands consent and condo
nation, and any children by the
