Names OF ~Clergymen.

There has been compiled by a young
lady for an English Church journal an
amusing paper on the names of clergy
men at present in the church clergy list.
From this it appears that "parties in
the church" are represented by / Broad,
2 Low, and 4 Dry. OF High there is
not a trace. But there are no fewer
than Ia Abbotts, 7 Priors, 4 Monks, and
s Nuns. Their dresses and decorations
are also calculated to excite uneasiness,
for Hoods and Capes abound, while
there are also 8 Garlands, 2 Banners, 3
Images, - Crosses, / CrucitiX, and l
Crozier, among II Bishops. In the
musical department we have Singers
and Fiddlers in abundance. Although
it is unlawful for the clergy to embark
in ''trade," we find a prodigious num-
Der of Bakers, Butchers, BARRIERS, Tai
lors (no fewer than l07 Of these, but
not one too many, considering the
amount of tailoring now rcquired). OF
the ''clergy at table" there are b Sal
mon, 3 Haddocks, 2 Herrlngs, 2 Smells,
4 Gods, 5 Whiting, ! Grayling, l Pike,
3 Roach, and 2 Crabbes. For pieces de
resistance we have IS Bullocks, 7 Kidds,
2 Veales, with s Bacon, Tongues, and
2 Badhams), 8 Lambs, Ia Harris, l Stage,
3 Bucks, / Doc, 0 Roes, 7 Kinds, 2
Fawns, and | Eland. For game and
poultry we have 7 Hares, 2 Rabbits, l
Cock, l Hem, l Duck, 80 brakes, /
Camden, 3 Goslings, 6 Swans, 4 Pea
cocks, A Patridges, 7 Woodcocks, !
Coote, l Teal, 2 Cranes, and 2 Heron.
The supply of vegetables is very scanty
being limited to 2 Beans, and l Onion.
The cellar department is not to be de-
spised, for II contains 3Binns, In which
are stored Il dozen and a half of Perry,
the same quantity Of Hollansd, ! of
CHM and | Of Port.

An Oid-Time Minnesota Hotel.

l rode to the first-class hotel; it was
a covered frame on stills, and barely
partitioned off inside with laths.
Every one washed from the same tin
dish and wiped upon the same towel;
the fare was tough steak and tougher
biscuit; the beds were mere boxes on
legs, and filled with coarse meadow
hay. No doors to the rooms nor nails
to hang a coat; no stand or even chair
to put a lamp Oh; but mine host just
dropped some grease from his dip upon
the floor, into which he inserted his
candle, and babe me make myself com
Portable. Now | had hired the ''pri-
date room" at an extra price, with an
understanding that it was to be all my
own for the night; and Of course the
only safety for money was to put it to
bed. SO you may imagine my serenity
when at II midnight in bounced a stray
gler in long boots; the landlord had
sent him up, he said, as mine was the
only bed with but N in it! In the
morning | found that about forty per-
sons had been lying right across the
long entry between the rooms, with
here and there u blanket among them,
and they snored on as | walked over
them. After breakfast the landlord
told us all to come out and square the
house into placc-it had been moved on
It's bed in the night by the wind. Lean
ing a long rail as lever, we all bore our
weight upon 1t, and the first-class hotel
came into place again. But now, mark
me, that place is a county seat, has a
court house and other fine buildings,
with churches, two newspapers, and
really more than one "frst-class" hotel.
And this is a sample of hundreds of pla-
ces IN the prairies.

Effect Ofthe Imagination,

A strange case is that of Henry c..
Ershman, living near the boundary of
Berks County, Penna., who is the
owner of considerable property. Up to
within several weeks ago he was hale
and hearty. Notwithstanding his
abundance of this worlds good he gen
orally wore suit of clothes during
the week and on Sunday. Several
weeks ago he was startled because he
imagined that a very offensive odor
either came from his ears, mouth or
the pores Of his skin. He was greatly
alarmed, and imagined he was sinking
into g%alloping consumption, and was
gradually decaying. lie was unable to
sleep, became haggard and emaciated,
and even his friends began to imagine
his end was near at hand. He dressed
himself regularly, and was determined
to keep on his feet.
He went into the fields and in the
woods determined to fight down the
disease, but wherever he went the same
dreadful stencil and feeling came over
him. Finally an old wood chopper met
himin the woods one day. The wood
man had a long talk with him, and he
stood quite close to examine him. Then
the woodman asked the sick man for
his coat. 1t was examined. The wood
man carried 1t about twenty yards, and
1t was discovered that the stencil fol-
lowed. The coat was thoroughly ex-
amined, and a dead mouse was found in
the lining. The mouse had, by some
means, gotten into the lining of his
coat and died there, and its decaying
body caused the unpleasant etluvium.
When this was known the sufferer
gained courage, and as he slowly rea-
lied what Imagination had done, he
rallied and was soon Oh tho road to
health.

The acquisition Of vital energy is the step

vitality. the yanous organs flag In their duty,

eventually instituted. To prevent this un-

should be built up by the use Of that inimlta-

invigorates the digestive organs, and insures
the thorough conversion OF food into blood OF

How Indians are Robbed.

An Indian was employed by a Govern
ment agent with three teams to trans
port supplies. Before agreeing to
work the Indian informed the agent
that he would not work unless he got
paid for it. The agent replied that this
was a special occasion, and he should be
paid $3.50 per day for himself and each
man and team be supplied. Having
been previously deceived the Indian
made the agent repeat his promise over
and yer again, that he should be paid
In money, and not be compelled to take
rations or checks. The Indian Ter
formed eight days. labor with three
teams, and hauled two loads per day per
team more than the white men who
were employed at the same work.
When he came to settle, the agent offered
him a check with holes punched In it.
The Indian explained that he was to
receive greenbacks, and insisted upon
having them. The agent told him the
check with the holes punched in it was
money, and that any store In the Terri
tory would give him cash or goods for
1t. Still suspicious, the Indian insisted
that he would have to trade 1t out in
the usual way, when the agent assured
him positively and repeatedly that that
particular check was the ame as green
backs. Going a short distance from
his agency, he purchased from a trader
some articles for his wife and children,
amounting to $3.50. A United States
Army officer who was present asked him
why he did not trade at his own agency.
lie answered because the goods cost
twice as much at his agency as they did
where he was purchasing, and where
inferior In quality. When he had
selected all his goods he offered his
check In payment. The trader said
"That check Is no good to me; l could
not buy my breakfast with your wagon
full of them; !" and explained to the In
dian that the check was only good at
the store of the agency where he be-
longed. The Indian said 81 have tried
to work and dress myself and family
like white people; | have tried to be
good and listened to the missionary but
now If | ever do any more work, either
myself or my teams, l hope the white
mans God will send me to the mis-
%sionary's hell and burn me up there.
If the agent does not give me dollars for
this check, | will find out some way to
expose him, but ! will work no more"
He then asked the trader to hold the
goods In the package, RS he had selected
them, and wait five days until he had
tried to persuade the agent. 'lf," said
he, cat the end Of five days do not ap-
pear with the money, you will know IL
was no use, and then | am going to be
= bad Indian"
