A Curious Custom.

An English gentleman who has trav-
eled in Palestine recently gave a descrip.
ton of the curious scenes that are enact
ed in the Church of the Holy S~epulcher.
He said when you first entered the
church YOU would be surprised 10 see a
party of soldiers with their swords by
their sides, and their guns stacked within
reach. Ii seemed a sacrilege in such a
holy T zee, and struck one rather un-
pleasantly; but he soon found out the
necessity of it. According to the laws
of the country, every sect is allowed to
worship there, and as it is considered
equally sacred by both Christians and
Mohammedans, all wish a time for their
mode of worship. The law allows them
ar hour each. They commence At six in
the morning. At that hour those who
have the first privilege enter, bringing
with them whatever is necessary ~
conduct their particular religious rites.
They GO through their chants, and all
is very quiet to about a quarter TO seven.
when those who have the privilege of
the next hour begin to arrive. At first
all is decorum. but presently the new
corners begin to hiss and mock. As
their numbers increase, and they be-
come stronger they push and crowd,
and as the time lessons they get more
and more bold. A few minutes before
seven they proceed to more forcible
demonstration. They think If they
clear out these blasphemers a few min
Utes before the time they have done so
much good work, while the worshipers
in the other band think if they can Keep
possession q few minutes after the time
they have done an equally good work.
As some of these seets use torches, wax
candles, slaves, or crooks in their wor-
ship, they proceed TO use them as weap-
ons of defense, and a free fight ensues.
Then come in the soldiers, who separate
the combatants by fling IN between
them, turning ont those whose hour is
up. and leaving the place in the posses
sion of the last corners. Ii blood is shed
the church Is closed for the day. Such
scenes are occurring all day long, and
the presence of soldiers is absolutely
necessary

A Mountain 81 Glass.

Another marvel recently brought to
light in the Yellowstone Park of North
America Is nothing less than q noun
tain of obsidian, or volcanic glass.
Near the foot of The Beaver Lake, q band
Of explorers came upon this remarkable
mountain, which rises At that place in
columnar cliffs and rounded bosses TO
many hundreds of feet in altitude from
Kissing hot springs at the margin Of the
lake. As II vas desirable TO pass that
way, the party had to cut q road
through the steep CLASSY ba-ricade.
This they effected By making huge fires
on the glass TO thoroughly heat and ex-
pand it, and then dashing The cold wa
ter Of the lake against the CLASSY sur
face, 50 Is 10 suddenly cool and break il
up by shrinkage- Large fragments
were In this way detached from The
solid sides of the mountain. and broken
up by siedge hammers and picks, not,
however, without severe lacerstions Of

Of the Gibson River the explorers also
found precipices of yellow, black and
banded obsidian, hundreds of feet high

Three Women i'm Court.

There was a jury trial in Justice Alley
the other day. in which nearly a dozen
people living in the Western suburbs
were mixed up as plaintiffs, defendants
and witnesses. 1t appeared that Mrs.
Blank had borrowed IA wash-tub of Mrs.
Brown, and while in possession of the
borrower 4 - knocked the bottom
out. After n neighburhood quarrel,
suit was brought 10 recover the amount.
Mrs. Blank thereupon put in as an off
set that she had nurSed the plaintiff for
three days and received no pay.
Nurse me-" echoed the defendant,
why she did nothing while she was
there but hog down custard pie and tat
tie about the neighbors."
"Custard pie. And who lent You the
sugar, and eggs, and lard TO make it,"
shrieked the other.
His Honor put his foot down and
patched up a temporary truce, and the
plaintiff took the stand to testify about
lending the tub and what it was worth.
She established the value at seventy
five cents, and here the defendant boiled
over and exclaimed:
"Seventy-five cents! Why, both ears
and the top hoop were off II was the
only tub she had had since her marriage,
n that was ten years agoin
"And I've had TO lend il TO YOU every
Tuesday all that time." retorted the
plaintiff.
His Honor secured silence in the
court, and the defendant took the
stand, and said that her services as nurse
were worth at least two dollars.
What ailedthe PLAINTIFF" asked the
lawyer.
"Well. / don't know rs / ought to
say that her husband struck her with

bond hit me on the head with a meat
platter, a yours did. -"
IL objecti" exclaimed both LAWYERS
in chorus.
$50 do WEI" added both females in a
breath.
His Honor pounded the desk until ev-
cry thing ratified. aud then a witness
was put on the stand 10 testify that she
saw the tub when it was lent, and again
when IT was damaged. She had scarcely
got started when the defendant, whose
witness she was, called nut:
you are not swearing as You agreed
to-"
"Ah, hal l make a note of that,''
ahuckled one of the lawyers.
"Iour Honor, l object added the
other.
"And | wouldn't believe the witness

"Who wants you to-" squeaked the
witness. "If 1 couldn't come into
court with any thing betterthaa a calico
dress and 8 ~ten-cent lace collar. ]

This is too much-ten times TOO
much, and 1 want this courtroom

he turned the crowd into the alley.-

her that he did not believe that q hus-

to her that he had murdered several

matter. The love that she had borne

and she o told the story. Neat

consider this bill second in importance
