Consul General Badeau in London has
furnished our Government some very in.
teresting statistics concerning wages
and the cost of living in England.
He fails however, to bear out the asser-
ton of the Philadelphia Press that wages
in England are 'from ninty to hundred
and twenty per cent. less than in this
country" The CONSUL General does go
so far as to indicate that they are from
forty-five to fifty per cent. less.

A difference in opinion on an import
ant point has caused rupture among
the European Masons, and it may be
necessary Tor the American branch of the
fraternity to take some action on the
question at issue. The French Masons
who, last year, proclaimed publicly their
disavowal of all belief in q supreme Be
ing, have been successfully repudiate J
by the Irish, English and Scotch Masons,
and read out of the fraternity. As a be-
lief in God has always been an essential
part of Masonry, and in view of the fact
that by the action of the British Graz d
Lodges, silence on the subject will be con-
strued as a support Of the French branch,
it is not improbable that some public
notice Of the matter will be taken by the
Masonic. fraternity Of the United States.

some of their money in the mythical en-

A Baptism of Hundreds.

On Sunday morning the roads and
lanes leading across Chimborazo park
were filled with persons, white and black,
male and female, from the gray~haired
sire to the infant in arms, all hurrying
in the direction Of Gillie's creek, to
witness the great baptizing. By 10
o'clock a. m. at least 1000 persons had
assembled on the York River railroad
and the surrounding hills, and the
long line of new converts, male
and female, in twos, arrived on the
ground and stood in readiness on either
side of the stream the males on one
side and the females on the other.
The females were dressed in white, with
white turbans around their head, and
the men with white shirts, and white
handkerchiets around their heads,
awaited patiently under the burn
ing sun The arrival OF their turn.
After the singing of hymn and a
short prayer, the Rev. Scott Gwathmey,
accompanied by one of his deacons,
stepped down into the water and the
baptizing was begun.
The females were served first, and
they were quickly disposed of to make
room for others i'll waiting. The men
outnumbered the women. By 1890 the
ceremony was over, and 233 persons had
been immersed by one man. The con-
verts for the most part were very quiet
and undemonstrative, but occasionally
some manifestation Of religious fervor
would break out
One old woman, at least seventy years
of age, walking on crutches, hobbled to
the pool and was among those baptized.
She was taken in the arms of a stalwart

THE "MAN EATER SHOT.

Stallion that has Killed three Men and Dis.
figured Twenty Others.
A dispatch from MiddIetown, New
York, says:
The Hambletonian stallion "Rising-
ham," one Of the finest bred horses in Or
ange county, was killed by his owner, Dr.J.
A. Schultz, inthis place last night. This
horse was twenty-one years old. An
offer of 81 600 was once refused for him.
At two years OF age he was considered
the coming successor of Old Handle
tonian, his sire. Nineteen years ago,
however, he began to exhibit signs of
viciousness that increased as he grew
older Finally he became almost entirely
unmanageable, and has since been known
rs the man-eater." He had killed
three men, aud wounded, crippled and
distigured twenty others. For fourteen
years no one dared to put him to wagon,
until short time ago. DR.. Schultz, who
had owned him but short time, with
the aid of several meD, got him in har-
ness and to a wagon, and tried to drive
him. 1t was dear experiment. The
stallion broke everything to pieces, and
the Doctor was himself saved by the
merest chance. Manyof the leading horse
trainers of the country had tried their
skill at subduing him. He conquered
them all, and nearly killed one of
them. One of his latest exploits
was the Selling Of a negro groom
who had undertaken to keep
him, tearing off the mans cheek and
destroying the right eye, and stringing
the flesh from his right arm. The groom
became blind and paralyzed. The three
men who preceded the negro as grooms
all narrowly escaped with their lives.
One lost an ear another had three fingers
and thumb taken off; the third left his
arm from the elbow in the jaws of the
horse. It became impossible to get
groom for the stallion. No one knew at
what moment the brute would attack
him. DR.. Schultz at last made up his
mind that Risingham was chronically
insane, and concluded to kill him before
he manned another victim.

Reversed Speech.

Messrs. jenkins and Ewing have
recently made some investigations into
the capabilities Of the phonograph for
reversing sound when turned in opposite
directions. They state that both vowels
and consonants are unaltered by being
spoken backward, and that, whether the
pulsations Of air be made in given order
or in reverse order, the ear accepts the
sound as indicating the same letter.
Consonants between single pairs of sylla-
bles, as ada, aba, are identifable quite
as well backward as forward. Ab, how.
aver, said backward becomes ba, and
thus the investigators suggest we have
here standard of what doessreally con-
stitute single letter or element of
articulate speech; it is any one reversible
part. The word aohsceeso&sa pronounced
