Stealing a Child.

Saturday last tramp called upon the
Rev. L. o. Manchester in Muiiica Hill,
N. j., and begged for money. Shortly
after his departure Mr.. Manchester's lit
tie son, aged about seven years, was mis-
sed aud the tramp was suspected of steal
ing him. A search was made and the man
was tracked to a corn-field. Seeing that he
was pursued he took the little boy in his
arms and started to run with him, but he
was overtaken and captured. He gave his
name as William Vivian. He was com
mitted on charge Of ATTEMPTED abduction.

A Sensible Preacher.

nNCE upon time, so runs the most
" authentic story, one of the Great
Frederick's favorite chaplains was taken
from him by the hand of death. The
peculiar qualities in the deceased eccle-
siastic had not been more his devout piety
and heartfelt reverence than his known
courage in danger and presence of mind
in seasons of astonishment. Said the
great king:
"Ah me- where shall / find another
man SO truly devout and so conscien-
tiously devoted to his religious duty who
will at the same time possess such won
drous presence of mind ? All! Good
Father Isaac's wits were never want
ing"
AT length, however, candidate was
recommended to his favorable consider
alton, man known to be pious and
and devout, and against whom no
breath of scandal had ever been turned.
&c But what is his courage ?" demand
ed Frederick. "What would he do in
a moment of mortal terror which had
burst unexpectedly over his head 7"
The proposer shook his head He
could not say.
HaP ~ cried the king, we will try
him. Look ye. He shall preach in our
chapel next Sunday afternoon, and 1
will be there. He is to have no sermon
prepared. 1 will myself, when L enter
the chapel, place in his hand a sealed
packet, within which he will find his
text; and from that text he will preach
his sermon.n
The ecclesiastic was consulted and
readily consented to the proposition
The eventful day arrived and the clergy
man entered the chapel, and as he passed
up the centre aisle an officer in gaudy
uniform aide-de-c camp of the king-put
a sealed paper into his hand, at the same
time whispering, 'From his majesty" {"
The clergyman assembled to the pulpit,
read the Scripture, give out the two
hymns, made an appropriate prayer, in
which the king was recognized without
fulsomeness, and then he arose and
broke the seal of the missive he had re-
ceived and found it - blank Not o
word nor pen mark appeared. With a
calm smile the clergyman cast his eyes
over the congregation, and then said
" Brethren and sisters-Here is moth
ing" and he held up the paper to show
that it was blank. " Blessed is he whom
nothing can annoy, whom nothing can
make afraid or swerve from his duty
We read that God made from nothing
all things And yet look at the stu
pendous majesty of His infinite cre-
alton"
And thereupon the candidate went on
with powerful and eloquent discourse
on the wonders and beauties of Gre
alton.
Suffice it to say that Frederick be-
slowed upon him the vacant chaplain
cy, and that in time he came to be the
kings chief confidant and spiritual ad-

One Of P~hiladelphia's largest carpet
manufactures has recently put in the
electric light to illuminate its floors.
and the device is complete
1t consists of a Brush dynamo-electric
machine of $4,000 candls-power, ar
ranged to give four separate currents,
each running an electric lamp of 3,O05
ca~ndle-power. Two of the lamps were
placed on the third floor and two on
the fourth floor of the immense build
ing, and when the engine was started
up the machine started at. the same
time, and without the slightest manual
interference, the lamps flashed out their
light in all its m~agnifcence. The eff
feet was most brilliant. The rooms
were flooded with a pure white light
like the light of the sun, and it streamed
out at all the windows, illuminating
houses and streets for a long distance
in every direction. The light was very
uniform and steady, free from flicker
ing, and considering its enormous illu-
minating power, was Unexpectedly soft
and endurable to the eyes. Estimates
were made as to the amount that the
light furnished by this apparatus would
cost If used by the carpet company, as
it was used on this occasion, and it vas
~ascertained that the total cost from
the whole light from the four lamps,
including the items of consumption Of
carbon in the lamps, interest on the in
vestment, and veal and tear would not
exceed thirty cents an hour. The light
produced was photometrically equal to
800 gas burners, burning five feet Of
gas per hour each. This amount of gas
would cost SO per hour.-E1change.

Some Of the savage tribes enter their
dwellings througha hole in the roof,
and when a person becomes so fat that
he cannot get in, he is regarded as an
outlaw. Had this system been adopt

could not have made q more active de-

badly hurt on Tuesday evening a few
miles from this city, by falling from
the train. His left wrist was severely
bruised, back sprained, and he alsoire-
ceived some bruises about the head and
face. AS the train was moving at a
rapid rate when he fell, his escape from
instant death was almost a miracle
We trust he will soon be as good as
new.

To the Odd Fellotcs of Wyoming:
A fearful scourge afiicts the people
Of the Southern States to an extent
we'll adapted to arouse the deepest feel
ings Of sympathy in civilized man. The
yellow fever RACES without any appear
ance of early abatement. Many thou
sands of all ages and conditions in life
have already fallen victims. Our
Brothers in the stricken States have
met with their full proportion of suffer-
ing. and have generally responded to
the demands upon them in a manner
characteristic Of our Order. They,
however, need assistance outside their
respective States. therefore call upon
all Odd Fellows within this jurisdic-
ton to assist according to their means,
and request the several Lodges to ap.
point relief committees to collect sub
scriptions. All moneys collected on
this behalf are to be forwarded to
Grand Secretary H. Altman, of Chey-
enne, to be by him apportioned equally
to the States OF Mississippi, Tennessee
and Louisiana, and placed at the dis
posal of the several Grand Lodges.
1t is expected that all moneys col
lected for that purpose will be reported
to the Grand Secretary on or before
the 18th inst.
