Sir Stafford NOIthcOte, formerly CnahceilOr
of the Exchequer, spoke recently mt meeting
in Exeter on the Promotion OF Christianity: lie

dom. or a state, or an empire, ceased 20 annex
territory and BEGAN to give up territory, us
davs were numbered, and it was beginning Id
decline. While he would not say that mat was
t,ue with regard to the State, he undertook TO say
tbat II was true of the Church III the time ever
,.nme when the Church of any country believed
t;'"t its work was done, that lis work Of pTODa-
Zinc the Gospel Of Christ throughout the
w"rId was completed, that Church Was drawing
tn n dangerous point and was likely 10 begin
ro decay At the present time there were many
reasons to be anxious for the prospects f re-
hoi,n and the Church OF England. l. had TO
contend against the spirit OF the accumulation OF
wealth, against the spirit OF InhdelIty and
against the spirit of rati0nallsm, which were

while al the same time the influence OF the
Church had been in many ways diminished by
the course of events.

The Animal in the Box.

There is sad young man up Michigan
avenue to-day. He got up very early on
the morning of the 1st and rugged up a
box and hung upon it sign reading:
"Don't annoy the baboon.'' A great
many people looked into the box and
were annoyed by boots and yells, and
the inventor of the sell was waxing fat,
when along came a six-foot farmer with
his weather eye open for living curiosi-
ties. When he saw the box and the sign
he hitched his team and made an inspec-
ton. There was no baboon in the box.
No, sir; there wasn't even the faintest
trace of one. The young man was lean
ing against the fence and laughing his
sides sore, when the farmer approached
and asked:
Did you have, any babOon in that
boxP'
No, of course not"
.s Then why that sign? If there is no
baboon there how can he be annoyed?
I'd lick man who'd annoy a baboon
of mine.n
Why, it's only sell, % explained the
young man.
Whats sell?''
" Why, to-day is April-fool day."
/" Never heard of any such day in my
life. Young man, don't you dare lie to
me! can take joke as well as the
next man, but can't be babooned to-day
or any other day. Where's that ami
malP"
Never had any,"
/" Never had baboon in the box, yet
you hang out sign that people mustn't
poke him up and annoy him! Boy, that's
false pretenses!'
But can't you take joker
"A Joke? Where is the joke in for
bidding us to annoy the baboon when
there isn't baboon within thousand
miles of us? Other folks may not resent
it, but can't be imposed on without a
rumpus!'
He hauled the box down, kicked off
the stats, and then he picked up the
young man, turned him end for end,
twisted him up, and damned him into
the baboon box. It was an awful close
fit, and there was a heap of kicking, but
the baboon got there all the same, and
after the farmer had driven away they
had to pull the box apart to get the liv-
ing curiosity out.-DetroI Free Press.

Assurance.

The Duke of Argyle, who not long
since visited in Canada his son, the
Marquis of Lorne, and the Princess Lou
Use, his daughter-in-law and daughter Of
Queen Victoria, is chief of the great clan
Campbell, and can boast of lineage as
ancient and more honorable in character
than that of the Guelphs, the ruling fam
lily of England. In spite Of this fact the
Marquis, il is said, has been made to feel
sharply the disparity of rank, by snubs
from his royal brothers-in-law, who were
opposed to his marriage with the Princess
Louise.
Apropos to this, story Is told Of the
visit of one of the royal princcs-the
Duke of Edinboro'-to this country.
While in Washington, ut State dinner.
some supercilious remark which he made
gave offense, by its ill-taste, to the lady
who sat at his side, woman noted for
her beauty and wit.
Presently the approaching marriage Of
the Princess Louise was spoken Of, and
Mrs. s., turning to the Prince, said
with the apparent naivete of a child:
"Iam member, by the mothers side.

other side of the table; adding gravely,
30, You. Highness can assure Her
Majesty that SO far IS the American
branch is concerned, her daughter In
marrying into very suitable family"
The Prince fairly gasped for breath,
utterly at a loss for a reply. and covert
smile of amusement passed round the
table, while Mrs. s. calmly went on
with her dinner.
A similar story of American " bounce"
Is told in relation to the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis. While passing through
the streets of New York, which wero
gaily decorated in his honor, he looked
inquiringly at q magnificent building

HE WILL BE INDEPENDENT.

Eds. Iel:-One renegade republican not,
five miles from this place, took il into his
weak head four years ago to act up to the
AshtabVla NeWs and become Independent
and nonpartIsan, but in his naturally de.
mented state Of mlnd concluded that go.
ing over to the Democratic party was the
way TO do it; and now, since voting for
Hancock, has become so thoroughly dis.
gusted and convinced that he has hereto.
fore misunderstood the drift of that paper,
that he says il he lives to vote for another
Presidential candidate he shall go for who
he d--n pleases, regardless Of all parties
whatsoever. Since voting at the late elec-
tiOn he has considered the Grcenback and
Prohibition parties, and cuncded that go
ing over to either Of them, no matter how
small and thin they might be, would Sc.
riously interfere with his independent and
nonpartisan intentions.
He says he shall hereafter nominate his
own candidate and vote for him. lhers
can do the same or 20 to h-zl just rs they
please.
II that noble reformer in starting out
on his last resolve is in the least manner at
fault, won't the Nelos kindly come to his
rescue, lest the next tilt he makes will be
backslide into some one Of the obnoodle-
headed parties. INREx.

PROF.. WILLIAMS, CONCERT.

The concert on Friday evening last at
the Opera House, was not patronized in
the ratio of its merits. The attendance
was slim but the chorus was very fair con-
sidering the miscellaneous character Of
such collections. Mr. Williams had made
good use of his opportunities and his man
ipulationV of the company in chorus per-
formances was highly credible.
The quartetts, DUETS and solos, where
there was a tolerable chance for selection,
was generally very satisfactory.
The chorus as well as the general pro-
gram was judiciously selected for effect
and the rendering was rather above the
average Of these performances.
The choice OF the choruses, was that
"Lead ME to the Rock" with the obligato
solo by Miss Benham.
The chorus "Greut and Marvellous" by
Miss Benham, Mrs, Heath, Mr.. Lnton
and Mr. Harris, was II fine piece OF music,
and was executed with discriminating
taste.
The quartotte-"Come where the Lii.
lies Bloom" was quite effective.
The song-"Gipsy Maid, was we'll rem.
dered as everything is by Mrs. Harmon,
but we failed to become much interested
IN the music, That given in obedience to
the encore had mucn better effect in the
ularar estimation.
The quartette-"Sweet Night be Calm ("
was highly pleasing aud artistic in its
rendering. The same was true OF the
quartette-"The Fisherman"
The grand chorus, was indeed grand
We have taken the liberty to discrmi-
nate, but perhaps the discrimination was
as much in favor Of the balance and blend
ing ofivoices as in musical accuracy in other
respects. OF course 1t is delicate business
to discriminate where professional and
ametuer performers are brought to-
gether.
The Olanonette solos by Prof. Williams
has no parallel. Those gems were alone
worthy of an evening sitting.
