THE incidents in the career Of a
bishop in the far western sections of
the country are often III strong contrast,
and frequently pervaded by comic
element racy Of the soil. Bishop
Whitaker, of the diocese of Nevada,
has given to the Nevada newspapers
some queer stories of his experience IN
recent tour through the towns OF
Typo and Ward. At Typo he could
get no building to preach IN but a
gambling-house; and in response to the
Litany, instead of Amen" an excited
listener, with his pantaloons stuffed
into his boots, cried, Keno" At
Ward horse-race had been announced
for the afternoon, but, at the bishops
earnest request, the racing was post
poned TIL the religious services were
over. The whole congregation went
from the church to the race track as
soon as the sermon was finished.

ONE of the most remarkable scenes
connected with the return of Earl Bea-
consfield from Berlin occurred at the
Premier's reception at the Charlng
Cross station In London. Among the
prominent people present to receive
him was the veteran Jewish philan-
throphist Sir Moses Montefiore, who is
now ninety.four years old, and who had
never before met the Premier. They
shook hands cordially, and remained in
conversation for some minutes. Sir
Moses, who is celebrated for his great
services in behalf of the oppressed Jews,
of the east, expressed his satisfaction at
the action Of the congress in guarantee
ing religious equality to the Jews of
Roumania, and Lord Beaconsield re-
piled that this was one of the most sat
isfactory results of the work done by
the congress. The scene while this con-
versation was going on is described in a
private letter from London as altogether
remarkable. The crowd in the station
was immense, and the hubbub and
cheering were almost deafening, but the
hero of the hour, apparently oblivious
of his surroundings, seemed entirely
wrapped up in his companion, who,
with Jewish features as pronounced as
his own, but standing erect over six feet
tall, with his snow-white hair and spot
less shirt ruffie, was the cynosure Of all
eyes. AS Sir Moses talked with the
Premier he stood between Lord Lennox
and his valet, towering above both of
them. and as erect as either. Tire Lon
don Jews regard this public meeting of
the champion of orthodox Judaism with
Lord Beaconsfeld as an evidence of
the esteem in which the Premier is held
by the strictest members of the Syna-
gogue.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
A TERRIBLE DEATH.

A Nashville special Of the 18th
says a terrible calamity oc-
CURED here at 2 a. m. Carl Groves, q
distinguished ex-Confederate soldier,
was burned to death. He was recover
ing from a bad case of yellow fever. He
had been pronounced convalescent. Dr.
Haywood had discharged him as need
ing no further attention. Late yester-
day evening he showed unmistakable
alteration of mind. On hearing this,
his brother went to him, and
found him dressed and about to
leave the house. He was forced
back to bed. He quoted down at p.
m., and seemed to have recovered his
mind. The brother left the house, and
q nurse IN care Of Groves, with instruc-
ton to go for help if he became bolster
Gus and unmanageable. At ! o'clock
a. m. Groves lost his reason and grew
wild. The nurse went for help, and in
his absence the Henderson residence, in
which Groves was sick, either caught or
was set on fire. and was destroyed.
Groves body was found to have been
burned to cinders; only portion of
the blackened form was left. Hun
dreds gathared about the ruins of the
house, and looked upon the sickening
spectacle with feelings Of sadness and
gloom. Groves was generous-hearted i.
popular, and Well-knOWn in West Ten

BOSTON DEMOCRATS FOR BUTLER.
A Boston special of September
10th says: The democrats of

complexion of the entire Boston dele

A CRITICAL MOMENT FOR INDIA.
A Calcutta dispatch dated September
10th says: 1t is generally recognized
that the present is one of the most crit
lcal epochs in the history of India A
single false move in the conduct of the
mission to Afghanistan may involve
not only costly frontier war, but
wider complications. The mission
forms single step in the extensive con-
certed scheme for the protection Of
India.
The Times to-day publishes long
cablegram from Calcutta, which points
out the necessity Of immediate cour.-
teraction by England to stop the Rus
sian advance into Afghanistan. The
Times edito1ially says that under no
circumstances will an alliance between
Russia and the Ameer, hostile to Eng
land, be tolerated

large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. For cur
