Remarkable condurf of Ery. xr. Da.
via.

Rev Mr D4vis,ssys the Rsno( New,
GG@ette, has recently become the rector
Of the Episcopal Church as Carson.
One evening, shortly after his arrival,
a social was given at the church for
the purpose Of giving the members an
opportunity Of becoming acquainted
with the now pastor. Two Of the old
est and most respectable pillars Of the
sanctuary entered the pastors study
cosy little room, where a fire was
brightly burning and found dozen
gentlemen lounging around in easy
attitudes and smoking. AS Mr.. DAVIS
was known TO be western man and
liberal, the cigars did not shock the
brethren much. They were introduced
and rather stared at Mr.. Davis, a very
unc'ergical-looking gentleman, with a
dropping black nustache and a some
what ralxish air.
I'm glad you've come among us,
Brother Davis" said one of the old
gentlemen, politely"
"Thankec," replied his reverence,
aiiably. at Is pretty good layout,
reckon.
The eoid man gasped, but managed to
ray that he hoped the church would
prosper und0r his ministrations.
well" responded the clergyman,
with cheerful confidence, "IIl give the
boys rattle, ard do what ] can to
drive few gospel stakes. Is it a prot-
ty good crowd for business
Both the Rorrifed brethren stared
speechlessly at the pastor. Seeing that
they failed to comprehend, the reyer-
end gentleman kindly explained
"Oh, you don't tumble to the racket
What mean is, will you church fel-
lows stand in when | peel and go for
the sinners9"
Finally murmuring something about
being always willing to assist in the
Lords work, the brethren were stagger-
ing out wien the new pastor stopped
them with:
isn't this dusty style of treating a
fellow Can't you trot out something
to wet ones whistler
1bey Ied alter one scared look at
one another, and were rushing from the
church, when another brother hailed
them and said he wanted to introduce
them to the new pastor.
We've seen him." groaned one.
"Where e.

impossible He's in the ves.ry,
and very nice old gentlemen he
is"
"And- who Is the other Mr.. Davis
the young man in the studyI" asked
the relieved brethren when they had
shaken hands with a wholly accepta-
bie and entirely respectable Mr.. Da-
Wis
The good oil gentlemen ehuckled
and replied:

A SINFUL POSTURE.

The following law and lawcase, taken
from the records of the New Haven
Colony in 1869, are strange reading in
these times. The statute says: "Who-
soever shall inveigle or draw the affec-
tions of any maide or maide-servant,
either to himself or others, without
first gaining the consent of her parents.
shall pay to the plantation for the first
offense, 40s; the second. "a for the
third he shall be imprisoned orscorpore-
ously punished" Under this law, at a
court held in May, 1869, Jacobeth
Murline and Sarah Tuttle were prose
cuted for "setting down on chestle
together, his arm around her waiste,
and her arme upon his shoulder or
about his neck. and continuing in this
sinful posture about half an hour, in
which TYNE he kyssed her and she
kyssed him, or they kyssed one another,

AN INDICTMENT AGAINST MILK
AS FOOD.

We copy the following sensible
remarks from the July number of
the Pacific Medical and Surgical
Journal:
A member OF the British Medical
Association has convinced himself
that milk il not fit for food. He
talks of tactic, butyric, capriolic and
oaprionic acids, of broods of vibri-
ones, of bacteria and oidium, etc.,
in connection with milk, until it
would seem impossible for human
being to take drink of that SUBJ
stapce and survive the terrible i'm
bibiti0n. Some one else has discov-
cred that dipththeria is caused by
eating potatoes. We are getting
tired of these raids upon the worlds
dietary. Soon there will be nothing
left for Us to eat or drink without
swallowing the seeds of disease and
death. We shudder to think of the
myriads of organisms which enter
the lungs with every breath of air.
We dare not drink water. Prese' T.
ly our bill Of fare will be reduced
to the t'spare feast, a radish and an
egg" mentioned by Cowper, and
even than some w;seacre will find
helminthtc germs in the radish and
death bearing bacteria in the egg.
Whisky is almost the only perfect
" safe food and drink left for us.
We do wish that doctors and other
scientists would stop this overstock-
ing of all nature with microscopic
perdition, and let us have peace.
Let us draw long breath without
terror, Let us eat our bread with
apprehension the bread be good.
Let us enjoy a drink OF cold water
when thirsty, without dreaming OF
iniantile megatheriunls and dino
theriums entering the stomach with
the refreshing draught.

DENIS KEARNEY has gone to
Colusa and "bearded the lion in his
den, the Douglas in his hall" We
beg pardon of "the Douglas" we
mean DR.. Glenn. He appears to have
gone tor that ancient and honorable
bilk's scalp to some purpose, and
Glenn had better rise to question of
privilege and explain the charges
preferred against him where he is
best known, and which were received
with rapturous applause by his neigh
bors. Is it fact, Dr. Glenn, that you
"employ Cinnamon, that you swindle
what few white men you employ ;
that you pay them in notes, and that
you employ a man to cash them at
ten per cent. discount, in silver Z" If
so, you are not the man who can,
with any face, come before the honest
workingmen of California and expect
them to vote for you. Denis Kcarney
preferred those charges publicly, and
your neighbors confirmed them by
their approving cheers.--S. +. Post,

INCkEASE IN IMMIGRATION.

There Is marked increase in inn
migration. One steamer, which ar
rived last week, brought 759 immi-
grants-the largest number, with a
single exception, arriving by any
one steamer since 1869. This and
other arrivals are only drops of the
coming flood. The immigrant so
cieties having branches in Norway
and Sweden report that unusual
preparations are making for Scan
dinavian movement in this direc-
ton. There is also expected a large
influx of immigrants from Ireland
and England, where thousands of
mill-operatives declare that being
unable to make living, they must
emigrate. Emigration companies
are forming also in Southern Ger.
many, where much distress prevails.
Thousands of Russian Mennonites
are also expected to emigrate to the
United States during the year, ow-
ing to the fact that Russian edict
has been promulgated which com
pels them to do military duty after
1880. Probably our population
from foreign sources will be increas-
ed before the close of the year by
at least 1000.
