New York Letter 10 Yesterlaysst. Louis Republican.
The fashion bulletin announces that
seventeen Fifth avenue bellies are down
with the mumps. Numerous others have
had the measles, which have been some
what epidemic here this winter and has
been yirulent in form. Both are unsenti-
mental complaints, but, stranget to say, the
latter is somewhat coveted by the misses,
who have the notion that the disease i'm
proves their complexion. New York girls
are sadly in need OF some such Alternative,
and II those who have good compilations
owe them To measles, one must conclude
that the disease has not troubled the ma
iority Of their sisters and cousins. The
fashionable young ladies have also an ety.
biological disease. They write you to
call and smoke ''cigaret," assure
yon that they are not "coquets;"
that their house Is "Opp9sit" the "syna-
gog," that a "iysician" lives next door
who studies "flosoiy," and II you want
your "tung" examined, you can "tele-
graf" to him, and he will call with PRO
gram" Of treatment and give you all the
"fysic" you need, and that he will cure
even the ''tisic." A society paper in this
city has adopted these new rules in spell
ing, and I would rather hear all the Pima
fore jokes than to read 1t as a steady
thing. 1t makes thepape look as though
1t too had the measles.

raven black hair. had not seen him be-
fore since he had quilted the Baptist
ministry, and returned to his old show
business. About six years ago he was
employed as q Baptist missionary at ten
dollars Sunday, and his passion for
being noticed In the newspapers was
so strong that he kept every city editor
informed OF every service, and invari-
ably solicited a notice. He would even
STOP in the midst Of a sermon To speak
10 a reporter and give him the neces-
sary points. visited one OF his services
uptown one night Just ashe closed, and on
seeing me enter he beckoned me into the
pulpit / took seat there; and probably
passed for another missionary. "Wait Q
minute and will get brother to pray"
said the lightning calculator, soto yoce,
as the congregation was singing. When
the last stanZa was over he called on a
brother missionary to pray, while he set
tied down on seat by my side and, GOV.
ering his face, began TO lament that had
not heard his remarks, and 10 tell me
what an elegant sermon he had preached
and how II "took" with the audience.
He repeated his text and said that he had
touched upon the temperance cause, which
was then in feverish state, and had re-
lated experiences from his own life, which
he went on to repeat to me. All the
time the other brother was uttering q
feryent prayer, and Hutchins, appar-
emily reccllecting that as presiding mis-
sionary he had certain duties TO per-
form, shifted his hand on his face
and exclaimed in a full, round voice,
"Amen." Then, continuing his CONVERSE
ton to me, he said, sect as much Of that

lator, and vet in that am the original one

ing brother rounded another period and
Hutchins loaded up and exclaimed,
"Amon; bless the Lord" Again sliding
his hand over to cover his face, he whis-
pered, "Put in too that am doing great
work, and attracting immense audiences,
and YOU can say that am converting
many persons" "Amen," he shouted
again, and once more before the praye:
closed he interjected another ejaculation,
and as the prayer ended, he again said,

forget about the Lightning calculator,
Barnum's old original" AS stepped out
of the pulpit and through the side door, l
heard him saying unctuously: Eyes, my
friends, it's sweet to serve the Lord and
do His will. We must be humble; we
must DO poor in spirit; we must not be
self.seeking."

his friends on the committee for next
Tuesday. Mr.. Henderson has also opened
the anti Grant campaign on his own hook
by an earnest and weighty address to a
crowded mass meeting at st. Louis, strik-
ing straight home in words which carried
neither ambiguity nor weakness In their
meaning. The ringing adoption Of his
resolutions was a rout for the Globe Demo
erat'S boosted tow.line, as 1t had taken
special pains to drum up the Grant forces
to shout them down. The German citi-
zens Of Missouri are as earnestly opposed
to Grant as Carl schurz, and, even II Filley
finally carries the States thirty votes to
Chicago for the G General, lie will hardly be
so foolish as to claim any very united OF
powerful backing among the Republican
voters at home.

DR.. FANroN, Of Alexandria, a highly in
structed Freemason, has examined the
foundation Of the obelisk there, and gives
it as his opinion that it disproyes the
Hiram version Of masonry respecting the
construction Of solomon's Temple. The
emblems OF life and sun beyond doubt are
identical with those upon the monuments
cording to DR.. Fanton, proves that mason
ry originated with the construction Of the
Pyramids. The number Of blocks com:
pfising the foundation, as well as their
positions and arrangements, indicate that
the anclents were familiar with the higher
degrees OF masonry, at least as high as the
eighteenth degree. The discovery throws
light on other previous discoveries, which
1t is deemed probable will lead to solu.
ton Of the mystery relative to the con.
struction Of the Pyramids.

Missouri Republicans are the first TO
actually split over the third term question.
The St. Louis Globs.Dmocut started the
Grant boom months ago, but has been
stoutly resisted by ex-senator John b.
Henderson, whose dismissal as counsel in
the whisky suits at St. Louis attracted so
much attention during Grants second
term Of office. Gen. George H. Shields,
Hendenon's law partner, has just been
shouldered out of the Chairmanship Of the

vennor's Prediction for March and April

venn0rsPredietioni Tor unfch ana April.
Montreal Witness, February2S .. -
April I sketch as entering cold and
stormy, with snow up to the 4th or 9th
day, after which cold rains may continue
to about the 10th, the I'd and 4th days
being probably the most wintry. I fore
see cold term ending in a heavy snow
fall on the 10Th, 10th and 18th days OF
March, the 10th and 18th to be the days
OF snowfall. This storm period will in all
probability reach both Boston and New
York, but should cold rains replace snow
in these last named cities shall not be
surprised. The third indication have
brings on the 9th, 9th and 18th days Of
March for both cold weather and snow;
the 18th for snow again, and the 10Th and
10th for cold. Snowfalls are likely to oc.
cur on the LIST or I'd, 2lst and ODD, and the
eth, one OF these latter dates giving a
general and heavy fall. Between the
dates thus given fer cold and snowfalls
the weather OF course may be expected to
be mild and springlike, consequently
slush will abound. The stormiest part OF
March is almost certain to occur alter the
18th OF the month, and my American
friends must excuse me il again include
moderate and reasonable portion OF their
territories in this last prediction.

"TnR volume Of trade in dry goods,
boots and shoes, wool and cotton" says
the Boston Commercial List, continues
about as large as ever, and prices are more
than sustained. II We look closely into
the different departments, it will be seen
that nearly ali kinds OF manufactured
goods needed for distribution in the inter.
Tor are doing well, and the manufacturing
interest generally never was in more
healthy condition. The mills and work
shops arc taxed to their utmost capacity to
supply the demand, and labor is fully en-
ployed. When we compare the situation
with last year at this time We see what
great strides have been made, and can at-
ford to overlook the slight depression
which some branches have experienced
fora few weeks past. The outlook is
promising and renewed activity in all de.
partments may confidently be looked for

The tortures inflicted on captured enc

were those inflicted of old on felons by

sewing them up in hides Of slaughtered
animals, or on heretics by smearing them
over with combustibles and setting fire TO
them. The damaras, described as so ut
terly heartless, that they laugh on seeing
one of their number killed by wild
beast. are not worse than were the Ro-
mans, who made such elaborate provis-
ions tor gratifying themselves by watching
wholesale slaughters in their arenas If
the numbers destroyed by the hordes of
Attila were not equaled by the numbers
which the Roman armies destroyed ut the
conquest of Selucia, and by the numbers
of the Jews massacred under Hadrian, it
was simply because the occasions did not
permit.
The cruelties of Nero, Gallenus. and
the rest may compare with those ofZingis

friends of his murdered brother, his sol
