SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

PENpEIL. May %, 1880.
To tie Editor IF tie Eagle:
1t is the general opinion of those liy-
ing in Eastern States that Kansas, be-
ing q new State, has but few church
privileges. A good brother once wrote
to us: 81 fear there is tendency in
Kansas to backslide as there are so few
churches in which to gather the peo-
pie" II is true We have but few church
buildings in the country. but the school
districts are organized and good school
houses built Each Of thes. school
houses is temple in which the people
come together every Sabbath TO praise
and worship. Every district. with but
few exceptions. has an organized sun
day school and more or less preaching.
Indeed we have more sanctuary privi-
leges, here in the country, than most
of the Eastern States. There six OF
seven miles Is the usual distance 10

From the Paw-Paw Mich. Courier.
A. W. Underwood, the colored man
whose breath sets combustihles on
fire, was interviewed by our Courier
reporter on Tuesday evening. He
says he is twenty-four years old.
When about twelve years old he held
his handkerchief to his mouth and
blew upon it and it took fire. He
says he is unable to account for it:
says that physicians have examined
him and they are much in the dark
as himself He set piece of paper
on fire at the Dyckman House Tues
day evening last before large crowd.
A respectable citizen of Paw says
that this fellow was out with him at
hunting party last summer and
none OF the party had any matches,
and that Underwood took up both
hands full of dry leaves, breathed
upon them awhile, and set them on
IRE, from which they built fire in
the woods. He seemed much ex.
hausted last evening after his effort:
says he could not endure it more
than twice in one day. Parties pres.
ent last evening said they had exam
ined his hands, had him rinse his
mouth'out and drink a glass OF wa
ter, and then saw him set paper or
cloth on fire by his breath.

A SagaciOus Mule.

A few days ago mule trotted up
in q limping way to a blacksmith
shop and deliberately walked in the
shop. He seemed to be very uneasy
and restless, exhibiting nnmistakable
signs of pain. The men in the shop
were rather taken aback by the mule
who thus came to the shop un-
bridled and loose. At last the mule
lifted up one of his legs, and, with
a gesture of his head, directed the
attention of one Of the men to his
foot. 1t was then discovered that a
nail had worked its way into the
flesh, evidently causing the appar-
ent pain. The nail was then drawn
out, and his muleship, much relieved,
gave snort OF thanks. A few mo-
ments after he trotted off, much
pleased, and has not been seen since.

From the New York Land and Home
LIE. French, messenger boy from
Townsend & Fargis, commission iner-
chants, outwitted two scamps at the
Chemical National Bank in New
York. a few days ago. French was
counting a roll of bills, when one of
the men, tapping him on the sboul-
der, said: young man, you've drop
ped some of your money" Recol-
lecting stories Of similar attempts to
dupe victims, French seized the pile
of bills in his hand before he looked
down. He saw bank note on the
floor, and quietly putting his foot on
it, continued counting his money.
Then he picked up the bill, and was
walking out, when one of the men,
who saw that he had been beaten at
his own game, said: "Pardon me; l
was mistaken. That bill was drop
ped by me-" The other stranger ad-
ded: "Yes, that makes out the ex-
act amount" 81 guess I'll keep it
to remember yon by" was the boys
answer, leaving the swindlers to
make the best of it.

The sense of utter foreloneness,
the feeling of desolation and gone
ness; the impression, generally cor
rect, that every we'll person in the
ship is laughing, at you; the sad
dening thought that there is no
chance of dying, the depressing
knowledge that there is no help for
1t, anyhow; the confidence that
nobody is going to do anything for
sou, and the philosophical resolu-
tion that you don't care constitu-
tionsl red cent if they don't; the
hope that you will be over it by
morning; the fear that it will last q
week; the forlorn hope, now. and
then, that the pilot will get frigh-
tened and tie the ship up to a tree
at some place, only for a little while;
the despiring sense of disappoint-
ment that steals over you when it
becomes evident that the pilot
hasn't the remotest thought of doing
anything of the kind; and at last
the fervent, earnest. despairing wish
that the boiler will blow up, the
ship strike rock, catch on fire,
capsize, be run down by an iron
steamship, get struck by lightning
and sink in 900 fathoms of water,
and do it all most powerful quick,

We left Portland in the evening

heavy sea, with its usual depressing
influences. The sea grew rougher,
and as the pitching and rolling Of
the good steamer New York in
creased, my spirits, did not rise.
Your spirits are not apt to rise, |
find. They are the only things
about you that don't rise, however.
My subject of reflection having
eluded my rather inactive mind, |

l wanted repose. The repose of
the grave would have suited me
perfectly well.
Bet there was no grave handy.
And when / went out and looked
out to seaward and gazed at the
landless expanse of angry, tossing
waters, l didn't see any material to
make a grave. And then, when ]
returned to the stateroom, it began
to dawn upon me, very dimly, that
the repose was about as solemn as
the grave. The ocean made me
feel as though / had swallowed it
whole, and / was afraid l would have
to spread a little to hold it.
l believed / would retire and
abandon the struggle with my feel
ings, for l felt that / was on the
verge of quoting poetry. l stood
on my feet and took off some Of my
things. Then I leaned up against
the door and / took off a few. Then
l stood on my head and got off one
or two. Then lay down on my
back and kicked off the rest of
them.

The Kite String.

1t was the small boy, says the Bal
timOre American, that tied the brace
of baleful tomat0-cans to a ours tail
and sent him down Charles street in
the height of the fashionable prone
made. 1t was he who slung the two
cats, tied together with string at the
tips Of their caudal excressences. over
the door knob of a wealthy citizen on
Mount Vernon place, thereby causing
an uproar In the neighborhood, from
which IL has not yet recovered and
many other sportive little jests may be
laid at his door, Yesterday he turned
up in new place. He wanted some
kite cord and had not the wherewithal
to purchase it, so he laid him about
for the means to procure it. An idea
struck in the center of his prolific
brain and having in his pocket a hoard
ed penny he hied him to a niegb-
boring drug store, where he asked for
cents worth of licorice. Now
the small boy had with him scrappy
NANCY dog, which had been his play
fellow from his earliest day, and 10
this hounds tail he attached strongly
the end of the ball of cord which as
all know, rests in case of every we'll
regulated merchants counter. Haying
tied the string and fixed it so the cord
would run easily off the ball-all while
the druggists back was turned-be
gave his dog kick and told him in
harsh tones to get out" The dog
got out at a full run down the street
towards home, while the boy, with
calm judgment, waited until he Thought
the dog had run down three or four
squares, and then cut the twine. the
latter end of which shot out of the
store in a twinkling, and receiving the
lioorice from the unsuspecting man,
who had had to rummage around to
find it, decamped quickly, and, with
his hands in his pockets, sauntered
around the corner, set out for the
house, which he reached almost as
soon as the dog, and gathered in his
harvest of twine, 1t is also reason
able to suppose that he few his kite
