RELIGIOUS RAPTUREs.
Tremendous Excitement Among the Ne.

RICHMOND, Va, April THE religious re-
vival that Is now in full blast In all of the col
ored churches here beats anything of the kind
ever known. The revival started with a
series of sermons on hell, delivered by lead
ing cOlored preacher. and the vividness with
which he pictured the flames of the eternal
regions was enough to excite the average
mind, let alone ignorant and superstitious
negroes. The churches have been besleged
by thousands all day, who could not get in.
Tonight there were 600 penitents at Mt. Zion
Church, 500 at Brooks, $50 at Ebenezer, 900 at
Memorial, $50 at BengaS, and large numbers
at other churches
just from church, rushed to Franklin street,
ing themselves on corner, stopped all the
seek religion. The scene was truly remark
able and picturesque. Yesterday at all the
tobacco factories the negro operatives became
so wrought up on the subject of their saliva
ton that they could do nothing but shout and
pray. Hundreds had to be discharged
In one Of the churches last night a little girl
named Martha Hodge jumped up in the mid
die of the sermon, and yelled that she saw q
vision. The moon, she said, was bathsd in
blood, which was sign that the earth was
coming to an end At one of the hotels to-
day a colored waiter named Henry Barkes-
dale was converted while carrying plate of
soup to one of the guests He dashed the
soup down on the floor and gave vent to his
feelings by shouts peculiar to the Ethiopian
race. The police have arrested sundry shout

German Cigars.

Cigars are cheap in Germany late
writer on the subject Of German cigars says
I'm no country in the world are cigars sold at
SO cheap rate as in Germany" The writer
is celebrated botanist, and buses himself
with gathering cigar statistics which are in
teresting He finds that in one province alone
$50 tons of beet-root leaves are annually
transformed into tobacco" How this trans
formation Of plants is effected this botanist
does not tell us. 1t would be useful informa-
ton to folks hereaway- almost as valuable as
the transmutaton of metals. Some light is
thrown on the subject when he states that
cigars sold in South Germanyas coming from
yevay at price of one mark hundred do
not contain any tobacco, Except that made
with cabbage or turnip leaves deprived of
their specific odor by a chemical process, and
stepped for some time in an extract of tobac-
CO." That's the whole secret of cheap cigars
in Germany, but the least said about tobacco

At the meeting of the Ladies' Physiological

C. Hardy read letter from Rev. L. T. Hale
ON the subject OF the voice Of American
women, which has peculiar interest on ac-
count Of Its subject, it's entertaining manner
and it's authorship. The letter Is as follows
p Dear Mrs Hardy-What said to the ladies'
in church after your reading was, in sub
stance, this: value such instructions as Mrs.
Hardy's and those OF the school of teachers
which she represents, because | hope they
may improve in the course of time the bad
voices to which my countrywomen are now
trained. l ascribe it mostly to the habits of
our large schools; some people ascribe 1t to
the dryneSS of our climate; whatever be the
reason, the fact is that most American
women talk with shrill voice, and if they
wish to gain power, seek it by sharpening the
note, or screaming, rather than by giving
more volume.

the Bauer au Lac Hotel in Zurich both the
largest and finest dining hall l ever saw,

different tables. / could single out my own

BLUE EYES.

At monday, on the crowded street,
With absent mind sauntered far,
Unnoting aught, till suddenly
A face flashed by me like star.
One moment seen, then swift the throng
Closed jealously about It's prize,
And oil the memory left TO me
Was this: she had blue eyes.
A womans eyes, you say; not SO.
They were too shy, too full OF spring,
And In their sunlit depth | saw
A girls souls April blossoming
No picture Of her face 80 fair
Within my memory lies,
But like bright stars along my heart
Still flash her bright blue eyes.
Her hands touch and her voices tone
Are things that may never know,
Albeit, think the one is soft,
The other musical and low.
And shall we meet again. The hope
Flames for moment and then dies,
And all the memory left to me
Is this she had blue eyes.

that divides the celestial land from that of

arrest raiders from Texas.

1t is fiction of the English constitution
that aseat in the House Of Commons is an
honor too great to be declined, and hence, when
a member wishes to retire, it is necessary to
resort to a somewhat curious expedient. 1t is
contrary to law for member to hold an
office OF profit under the Crown, and several
insignificant positions, with a small emolu-
ment have been kept in reserve as convenient
stepping stones from the House to private
life. Chief among these is the stewardship of
the Chiltern Hundreds. When a member
wishes to retire, he has but to apply for the
stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds He
receives the appointment and his seat in the
House is thereupon declared vacant. He
usually also gives up the stewardship at once,
that the door may be open for any one else
who may also desire to use it.

Gortschakoff is Imperial Chancellor for For

Marc, of Rennes, is credited by a Paris paper
with very bitter retort to an official of some
consequence who, in heated alteration his
eminence had called an ass. The aggrieved
official sent to the prelate for an apology or
a retraction of the obnoxious terms, and the
malicious bishop gave the official formal
certificate, under the archiepiscopa hand and

bearer was not an ass.

from written authority of ecclesiastical law
At the marriage of Queen Mary with Philip
of Spain, in 1854, the wedding ring was laid
on the Bible to be hallowed. Some discussions
had previously taken place in the council
about this ring, which the Queen decided by
declaring that she would not have it adorned
with gems, "for she chose to be welded with
q plain hoop of gold, like other maidens."
