A strange Looking lGsn.

This morning, one Of the strangsst
looking specimens of humanity In the
shape of man, walked up tosthe ticket
office at the L. w. s. b. r. r., depot,
and purchased ticket for Dover The
man was over seven fee. high, and had =
small head upon which was perched .
very small hat. He wore glasses, and .
coat the arms of which were SO long thaf
his hands were completely enyeloped,
while the pattern eff the coat was beyond
description. His shoes were Of pecp-
liar pattern, the heels being about six
inches high. After purchasing his ticket
he walked out of the depot, and was the
observed of all observers. He finally
sauntered into the Delaware railroad
office, where he stood for about ten min
utes looking at those without. When
asked if he desired to see any one, the
only reply that he vouchsafed was pec1-
liar grunt. All efforts to get him to speak
were without avail. Where he came from
or who he was is mystery.

How the Church Looks.

Last Sunday, st. Andrews Episcopal
church al Eighth and Shipley streets, was
opened for services, after being closed
several weeks for repairs. 1t has been
most completely frightened up, both in
side and out and presents much i'm
proved appearance every way. The
church room proper, up stairs, has been
furnished with carpeting and cushioned
seats and has been newly papered, paint
ed and frescoed. On the wall above the
pulpit is the lettered inscription, "The
Lord is in his Temple" On the right
hand side of the pulpit the wall bears the
Greed in gilt letters and on the left the
Lords prayer.
The st. Andrews congregation certain
ly has cause to be proud of its church IN
its present handsome and comfortable
condition.

Gen. Grants Turkish stations
In Phila6elph10s,i

The Ledger to-day says despite the
incessant rain OF yesterday quite num-
ber of persons visited the stables Of Suf-
folk Park, for the purpose of getting
glimpse at the newly-arrived Arabian
horses presented by His Royal Highness
the Sultan of Turkey to General Grang
on the occasion of the distinguished
Americans visit to Constantinopie. Thsy
arrived at New Haven, Connecticut, last
week by the British steamer Norman
Monarch. The animals were selected as
two of the best steeds in the Imperial
stable, and during their journey hither
were treated with marked consideration
and every care bestowed upon their safe
ty.
They are said to have endured the long
voyage without showing any signs ofdis-
comfort or fatigue, and were described
by one of the prominent horsemen at
Suffolk Park yesterday as being in per
feet trim and models of beauty. They
are in many respects unlike the blooded
American horse. 4
They are about fifteen hands in height
and of graceful and well-rounded,
though wiry and strong figure. Both the
animals are of beautiful dapple-gray
color, with soft skin and shiny coat
| Their names and tails are of dark color
and very long. A wide difference from
the average European or American ami
NAL is said to be discernable in every
feature, and the eye, ear and nostril are
indicative of some particular quality,
such as shrewdness, quickness and won
derful intelligence. The neck is arched
and the head is held very high.
The animals were brought to this city
by Major j. X. Levett, and are under
his supervision at Suffolk Park, while
awaiting orders from General Beale. II
. Is not yet determined whether they shall
be sent to Galena, Illinois, or allowed
to remain at the farm of General Beale
near Washington. Meanwhile they will
be on exhibit ion at the Park.

MISSION WORK IN MEXICO.

REV. II. G. RILEY, BISHOP OF THE VAL
LEY OF MEXICO, TELLS ABOUT HIS
. WORK IN THAT LAND.
The Mexican Band, Of st. Andrews
Church, is branch of the Mexican
League, an organization formed through
out the country, to promote the interests
of the Mission work In Mexico. This
body was Yesterday afternoon addressed
by Rev. H. G. Riley, Bishop-elect Of the
Episcopal Church for the Valley of Mex
leo, who spoke upon the work he was En-
gagged In, in spreading the Gospel.
After speaking Of the difficulty that
the work was meeting with In Mexico,
and the pleasure II gave him to speak
upon 1t, as he was now doi G, he proceeG-
ed 10 state the nature of the work there.
It was commenced in 1861, by the Epis-
c0pal church, who never thought to ex-
tend its missions there, until the Roman
Catholic priests, who were responsible
for their presence, made it necessary.
In endeavoring to establish pure
branch Of Christ's church there, many
have died the Martyrs death, and all en-
gagged in the work had not much perse-
cution, but God was assisting them great
". A great advancement had been made
in the City of Mexi where now any one
could worship God as they liked in peace.
They had built new church 274 feet in
length and 98 feet high, which was open
every day for worship. A great interest
had sprung up, and it was increasing
They now had 10 young men in Their
theological seminary, preparing for the
ministry, 800 children In their schools
5000 families attending church regularly
and So congregations established through
out the land.
The Bisrop-elect. then proceeded t.
speak of persecution met with and cited
many instances of brutal violence, among
which was the description of an assault
made by mob upon small cOngrega
Lion, last September, in which twenty
persons were killed. Never, through al
this, have the prosecuted worshipper
raised resisting hand, but have often re
turned good for evil. BY THIS course tn
church has grown and prospered, and
great and good influence has beel
thrown out. One of their triumphs wa.
the securing of the name Of the Presi
dent OF the Mexican Republic to head
subscription for building a new church
The reverend speaker then went on a
considerable length describing the grow
ing interest In the work, and closed b
urging his hearers to aid the cause 8
