For some years past the fishermen have been

An ANONYMOUS LETTER.-Perhaps
of all the actions into which the evil
passions of humanity are led, there is
none more base than that Of writing an
anonymous letter. II is q moral assas-
sination committed by masked MUIR
derer, lie without an author, the mean
spirited act of the disrepu.able coward,
in whose heart gall has replaced the
wholesome blood, and whose malice,
jealousy, and revenge vent themselves
in SANDER. I would as soon trust my
purse with thief, my friendship with
the hangman, my name with coquette,
take a serpent in my hand or a liar TO
my heart, as hold communion Of love,
friendship or interest with the despica-
bic writer Of an anonymous letter.

The Lynchburg Calamity.

Court Street Colored Baptist Church
was packed to overlooking with persons
to witness the marriage of John Aver
rett and Mary Rives. The ceremony
was performed by the pastor, William
Morris, and, after the bridal couple had
retired from the church, the assemblage
was resolved into religious revival
meeting. 1t was between 10 and II
o'clock, when the religious ferver was at
it's height, that an alarm was raised that
the building was falling. Instantly the
congregation was thrown into panic,
with the most frightful results. 1t is
said. that the alarm was caused either by
a piece of plaster falling off the ceiling
or bv boy outside breaking piece of
glass, but, be that as it may. the result was
all the same. The auditorium of the
church was in the second story, and
whan the cry, "The church as falling!"
was yelled by man near the pulpit,
there was a stampede. Men and women
rusbed from the doors and windows.
Those who reached the head of the
stairs were pushed down, heels over
head, and trampled upon. Many leaped
from the windows, and few who were
in the gallery jumped from the third
story windows. Three women who made
that venture were killed outright, while
the dead. all told, number twelve.
The panic-scene in the church was
beart-rending. The mourners' bench
,yos filed with women, and the pastor
was warmed up to high pitch. He
was exhorting his hearers to seek the
Lord. and keep their lamps trimmed
and burning: and, when the alarm was
given. the reverend gentleman cried,
sGood Lord, have mercy on u.s." Then
no ;o;ned the crowd in their rush. The
80 was filed with deafening noise.
The shrieks and lamentations were
awful Many women had children with

RismArck and His Police.

Meantime the mutterings OF the So
cialistic storm continue. Prince BIS
marck seems determined to push Wig
orous campaign against the tribe OF con-
spirators, but he has already met with
sharp opposition. Some very amusing
stories are told about the police agents
employed to preserve Bismarck from
any possible attacks during his recent
visit to Gastein, where the Chancellor
has been to make II cure. 1t appears
that it was next to impossible for any
one to walk anywhere near the alley in
which Bismarck was promenading with
out finding himself Swallowed by two or
three gentlemen of the detective pro-
fession. Now Gastein is in Austria,
and the Austrians not only do not feel
particularly well disposed toward Prus-
slams, but are also especially opposed to
Prussian police agents. One day IA
bather who found his way blocked by
one of the agents shouted out to Bis
who was near by, "Your men
spoil all the pleasure of the bathers"
Bismarck did not like this and sent
home two of the most indiscreet OF the
agents But not long afterward another
adventure occurred. An old gentle
man, an Austrian, was in the habit of
promenading a shaded alley with his
right hand thrust into the tail-pocket of
his coat. A prying police agent had
seen this for some days, and one morn
ing, unable to control himself, he
bounced down on the astonished Aus
trian, violently pulled the hand out of
the pocket and shouted: We'll see
what you carry so mysteriously" But
of course he found nothing.
"Oh, you will, will you?" said the
Austrian, striking him fearful blow in
the face. take that, and remember
that You are not in Prussia, and if you
ever bother me again will thrash you
within an inch of your life"

Baron De Palms Ashes.

After the body of the late Baron de
Palm had been cremated in DIR. lie
Moyne's furnace at Washington, Pa,
the ashes were carefully gathered up by
Hierophant Olcott, placed reverently in
small porphyry vase, embellished with
Hindoo NEUROLOGICAL designs, and
brought to the Lamasery of the The
osophs, at Eighth avenue and Forty
seventh street, in this city. There they
have since remained, under the care of
the Hierophant and Nine. Blavatsky,
corresponding secretary of the society.
The cremation of the body is but one
of the steps in disposing of the dead,
according to the usages of the society.
The final rite among the Hindoos is,
with great and mysterious ceremonies,
to cast the ashes in the Ganges, and it
has been the intention of the officers of
the American branch of the Arya Samaj
to perform this last service to the
memory of their late associate. 1t has
been found impracticable, however, if
even it is necessary, to convey the ashes
to India, and the contents of the urn
now at the Lamasery will, instead, be
cast into the broad bosom of the Att an
