A Battle with Hymn Books.

The Rev w. II. Ellis, of Worcester,
Mass, who claims to have been an
Evangelist for the last twelve years,
has for several summers been In the
habit of holding some what noisy religi-
Gus services in "A tent I'm this village,
much to- the annoyance of the public I'm
general. and neighboring residents in
particular. Ellis uttcrances have been
so coarse and blasphemous, and his
gatherings so disorderly, that he and
his followers have become extremely
unpopular, and cards have appeared i'm
the local papers, denOunClng him as
hypOcritc and fraud. BY some means
recently, he secured the Congregational
Church, wherein he intended to hold
meeting. The house was well filled
with his admirers and followers. This
fact coming To- the knowledge of the
Church Committee, they Immediately
took steps TO break up the gathering,
Securing the SER vices Of Judge Fisher
and the police officer, they repaired to
the church. The meeting was well
under way when they arrived, so they
waited for a convenient time during
the services. Ellis, learning their mis-
sion, undertook 20 lock the doors, but
not until some of the committee and
the police officer got inside. Ellis from
the pulpit announced that he would
"stick there against all the powers Of
hell and the deyiPs imps who were
trying to dislodge him. Fired by this
declaration, some OF Ellis friends near
est the door Immediately attacked the
committee and officer, and they were
handled very roughly, One Of them
was knocked down aud another drag
ged over the back Of seat ank chOked.
The services were suspended, and all
hands took part in the melee. The
ladies stood upon the seats and en-
couraged their friends by singing.

shouts for "order" brought lull,
though not until an excited lady, by u
well-dirccted blow with hymn-book,
had drawn the cIarct from the Roman
nose Of the venerable Judge. After
order was restored Ellis and his wife
offered prayers too irrcvcrent and bias
phemous to give in detail. Vainly did
the committee, Judge and policc-oHicer
endeavor to break up the meeting, which
lasted till after two o'clock in the morn

An offcial report from Sumatra states
tina. freaunt Disturbances Of telegraph
communication are caused in that island
by elephants. Daring the three years
1873 there have been sixty serious
interruptions; traceable &c this CAUSE.
As an instance. the report says: "Cu
May 25, 1876, the Mnara-Dura-Lahst
line was completely destroyed for a
length Of three pauls, and the wires
and insulAtors were hidden away in a
cane thicket. All the repairs executed
during the day were regularly destroyed
by night, and this for three nights in
succession" Besides the systematic
hostility o. the elephants. the numer.
Gus tigers, bears. und white bufsloes
make it both difficult and dangerous to
keep sn efficient watch on the telegraph
lines where they pass through thick
jungles. Both the greater apes and
little monkeys seem to regard the lines
as Set up for the purpose of afording
them the opportunity Of practising
special gymnsstic exercises, swinging
from the wires. breaking them and
carrying of the insulators.
The Italian authorities and public
are awakening to the necessity of tax
ing steps to ameliorate the sanitary
condition of Rome. where the death
rate is from IS to 36 in the 1000 tn %
in London. Such course is rendered
more imperative by the growing popu-
lation In 1874 it was 24S. 900: now il
