An effort will be made at the
next session of Congress to Sc
cure the passage of a bankrupt
law not open to the abuse of
the law repealed two years ago.
Ever since the repeal, there has
been a demand for a new law,
especially among bankers and
business men. This demand
showed itself i'm the last session.
A subcommittee of the house
judiciary committee was in
structed to draft a new bankrupt
law. The result of this Initial
step was naught. AS stated,
however, an effort, and a more
vigorous. one, viii be made at
the next session to secure legls-
lation on this subject.

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENT
ISTS.
The Annual Camp Meeting at Nor
walk
From the Columbus Journal.l

| W6lhs
TFrom the Columbus Journal1
We have voluminous cores
pondence from the Camp-meet.
ing of the Seyenth-Day Advent
Church, now in progress about
mile south Of Norwalk. There
are thilty-three large family
tents on the grounds, besides
two circular pavilions, each fifty
feet in diameter, pitched togeth-
er, making an audience room Ca
pable of accommodating one
thousand persons. Three hum
dred and sixty members are en-
camped, and three ministers of
the Conference are present -El-
ders II. A. St. John, w. Cot
trell and A. NJ. Mann. Elder
Smith, editor of the Advent Re-
view, and Elder James White.
President of the General Confer
ence, are also present, and two
or three discourses, mainly bear
ing on the Church doctrines, are
delivered each day. Rain has
driven the congregations to the
tents frequently, but altogether
those in attendance have been
getting along comfortably.
The following paragraph gives
a summary Of the Church belief:
"The Seventh-Day Adventists
do not materially differ in their
belief from other Evangelical
denominations, excepting that
they believe the coming of
Christ is near at hand, and OBJ
serve the seventh day as the true
Sabbath. They number 10000
members in the United States,
and 339 organized churches. "
They have a large publishing
establishment at Battle Creek,
Michigan, where they issue five
different periodicals, in three diff
ferent languages, and numerous
books and tracts. They also
have a fine new college at the
same place, with a regular facul-
ty and two hundred students in
attendance.
AS people they have adopted
''heaIth REFORM" taking but two
meals per day, and eschewing
pork, tea, coffee, tobacco, liquors,
&c. Desperately opposed to
drugs, they have Health 1nsti-
tute of their own, also at Battle
Creek, where patients may re-
ceiye hygienic treatment.
The camp was fairly establish
ed, and every thing progressed
nnely Ffiday, Whel, ABOUT Iotti
o'clock p. M, the heavens OPEN
ed without much ceremony, and
the rain fell as in the days
of Noah. For nearly two hours
the water poured upon the de-
voted camp, flooding the grounds,
sweeping through the tents, and
in some instances floating Oft
provisions upon its muddy cur
rent. But there is an end of all
things, and finally the storm
ceased, and people began pad
ding about to take view of the
situation and hang out their
drenched clothing.

Paul.

Paul.
T've learned" he said, 'to be content
In whatsoever state;
To care not where my life is spent,
In cell or temple gate,
If only l may bring the news
OF Christ 10 those who need,
May prove TO GeniiIes and TO Jews
His love in word and deed.
"This love it is constraineih me
To mind not fire OF sword,
To dare all danger eagerly,
If may preach the word;
To welcome shipwreck, hunger, cold,
And manacles and chains,
For they will turn the dross to gold,
And wash out all the stains.
81 am persuaded that my loss,
To Christ is ever gain;
And so | gladly bear the cross,
Unmindful of the pain;
For all who Christ Jesus live
Shall prosecuted be;
And he will full Geliverance give
And sweetest liberty.
So TO the weak became weak,
That | might bring them in;
And to the strong who Jesus seek,
Became strong to win.
Persu ding thus both bond and free,
Lest any go astray,
I've fought the fight, and joyfully
Press forward On my way"
o Paul our prophet, teacher, friendl
Our martyr and our saint
What blessed comfort thou dost lend,
When flesh and spirit faint a
Such courage maks US strong TO bear
Whatever may be sent;
And whether well or ill we fare,
Paul bids us be "eontent."

An elderly maiden lady, hear

that she didn't care Il cent how

"We don't want all this, we
don't want it," said an attorney

A five-year-old son of a fam

his baby brother, who was max

gathers. Then write your name
on the wax with a sharp point,

The pronunciation OF "U y

Ninety-nine out of every hundred North
erners will say institoot instead of insti-
tute, dooty for duty-a perfect rhyme to
the word beauty They will call new and
news, moo and moose, and 50 on through
the dozens and hundreds of similar words.
Not dictionary in the English language
authorizes this. In student and stupid the
''u'' has the same sound as in stupid, and
should not be pronounced stoodent or
stoopid, as SO many teachers are in the
habit of sounding them. If it is vulgar
ism to call door u doah-as We all admit
isn't it as much of avulgarlsm to call news
paper a noospaperi One vulgarism is
Northern and the other Southern; that is
the only difference. When the London
Punch wishes to burlesque the pronuncia-
ton of servants, it makes them call the
duke the dooke, the tutor the tooter, and a
tube toob. You never find the best
Northern speakers, such as Wendell Phil
lips, George William Curtis, Emerson,
Holmes, and men of that class, saying moo
for new, Toosday for Tuesday, avenoo for
avenue, or calling dupe doop. II is q
fault that Southerner never falls into. He
has slips enough of another kind, but ne
doesn't slip on the long ''u. As many OF
our teachers have never had their attention
called to this, hope they will excuse this
rotice.

A Bright Bird.

A large and handsome whOoping stork
can be seen daily strutting around the yard
at the residence of Prof. Paige, in Council
Bluffs. The elongated bird was purchased
by the Professor during visit to Mexico
some months since and has become quite
tame. Among other food that the stork
relishes is a nice fat mouse. Mrs. Paige
has small wire trap in the house and
whenever mouse happens to wander there
in, ne becomes sweet morsel for his stork-
ship. The other day Mrs. Paige noticed
the bird standing near the barn watching
intentiy at u small hole leading beneath the
building. The stork remained in an atti-
tude of watchfulness for nearly half an
hour, and Mrs. Paige becoming curious,
concluded to watch and see what followed.
Finally she saw mouse creep into sight
from under the barn, and the same instant
the intelligent stork pounced down on the
mouse and ''took him in" killing it first
and then eating it. After performing this
intelligent feat, the stOrk resumed his
vigilance at the mouse hole, and, after
watching sharply for over au hou-, seemed
to grow weary of his WORK or get out OF
patience, and marching to the house entered
the kitchen, and picking up the mouse-trap,
from which he had so often Eeen fed, he
returned to the barn and set the trap down
near the hole, evidently appreciatlng the
use of the trap, and believing that 1t would
catch a mouse for him.

Ike Plot of q story.

A young lady writes all the way from
Alabama asking us TO give her the plot oil
a novel which she wishes to write-some-
thing of love, yet tragical. How will this
do for a synopsis? ''They parted, VOW
ing that they loved each other, but that
each would marry some one else. As her
check pressed against his lips the latter
became white with the powder which ad-
hered to them. She started for an after
noon ride, and he took the thIrty-six min
utes past one train for New York and had
some gin. When he had enough OF the
malaria he boarded a train which, thank
heavenl passed her village without stop.
The conductor asked him why he was
hanging his head and shoulders out of the
window, and he replied that he was only
riding ON half ticket, and did not want
to occupy too much room in the car. The
conductor could not punch the ticket, SO
he punched him. AT that moment pair
of horses, scared by political banner, ran
away. As they struck the train it was
going round curve, and Augustus went
out of the window into Alicia's phaeton
like the Jack ON ten-spot OF diamonds.
For two days she fed hun on mint tea and
chicken broth, to get hun over the effects
of the g-mslaria, and now they are mar
ried and living on her father, who hopes,
in the spring, to get him situation on
some dangerous part Of an elevated rail-
road" II this plot will suit the young
lady of Alabama she is welcome to 1t.

Ziito, the Sorcerer.

Very extraordinary things are related Of
Ziito, sorcerer in the Court of Wences-
laus, King Of Bohemia, and afterwards
Emperor of Germany, in the latter part of
the fourteenth century. This is, perhaps,
all things considered, the most wonderful
specimen of magical power anywhere 10
be found. 1t is gravely recorded by Du-
bravious, Bishop of Olmutz, in his History
of Bohemia. 1t was publicly exhibited on
occasion of the marriage of Wenceslaus
with Sophia, daughter CT the Elector Pala-
tine, of Bavaria before a vast assembled
multitude.
The father-in-law Of the King, well
aware of the bride e-groom's known predf
lection for theatrical exhibitions and magi-
cal illusions, brought with him to Prague.
the capital of Wenceslaus, whole wagon
load of morrice dancers and jugglers, who
made their appearance among the royal
retinue. Meanwhile, Ziito, the favorite
magician of the King, took lis place OBJ
scurely among the ordinary spectators. He,
however, Immediately arrested the atten-
tion of the strangers, being remarked for
his extraordinary deformity, and mouth
that stretched completely from ear to ear.
Hito was for some time engaged in quietly
observing the tricks and sleIghts, that were
exhibited.
At length. while the chief magician of
the Elector Palatine was still busily en-
ployed in showing some of the most ad-
mIred specimens of his art, the Bohemian,
indignant at what appeared to him the
bungling exhibitions of his brother artist,
came forward and reproached him with the
unskillfulness of his performances. The
two professors presently fell into warm
debate. ZIito, provoked at the insolence
of his rival, made no more ado, but swal-
lowed him whole before the multitude at
tired ss he was, all but his shoes. which he
objected to, because they were dirty. He
then retired for abort while to closet,

st. Magnus.

The object of the greatest interest in the
Orkney Islands is the cathedral of st. Mag
nus, at Kirkwall. which dates from the
twelfth century and is still entire and in an
excellent state of preservation In the six
teenth century If was extended both toward
the east and toward the ives, the same ma
teriil beingused as in the original structure
namely, old red sandstone, which abounds
in the islands. Haco, king of Norway,
who died in the adjoining bishops palace
in 1868, was buried here, as was also Mar
garet, the Maid of Norway, VIII died here
on her way to Scotland IN 1890. One Of
the finest features of the cathedral Is the
western doorway, in which there are the
remains of some very fine carving much
effaced by atmospheric action. A strik-
ing effect is produced by alternating yell
low with red sandstone in the pillars and
mouldings. This structure il introduced
by Walter Scott, in his admirable novel Of
The Pirate"

AduIteratIons of Food.

Prof. S. W. johnson, IN his paper re-
Gently read at Saratoga, states that the
practice of adulterating milk by adding Wa
ter alone. enables peddlers to sell annually
in New York City, 40, 900, 900 quarts of
this harmless beverage at an average of
ten cents per quart, realizing 81, 900, 600 a
year, or So, 900 per day. He also finds
that the number of COWS kept to supply the
city of London with milk are not sufficient
to afford single tablespoonful to each in
habitant of the city daily. London Is the
centre of gross adulterations of food and
drinks. Alum is used in bread to make
it light, elastic, firm and dry, but adultera-
ton IN this country is far less common
than IN England. 1t ought to be, when
grain is sometimes used as fuel, because it
is cheaper than wood or coal. The Profes-
sor believes that granulated sugars are
pure, though pulverized sugar and syrups
are liable TO be adulterated. The greatest
danger to the public is from the use of
colored confectionery, and the only safe
iule is to let it entirely alone. Market
with caution. Bar-room liquors are badly
adulterated by the use of poisons, and,the
fact is so well known that he thinks any
boiy deserves his fate who drinks them.
A food testing laboratory to be estab Ished
in each State, cooperating witns he BARD
of health, he suggests, would save the
citizens many times its cost, just as agri-
cultural experiment stations have saved
immense sums to the farmers in the pur-
cnasei fertilizers. On the whole, how
eve teratIon of food in this country,
is ommon.

The Prophecy oI the Greyhound.

Richard H., of England had greyhound
called Math, beautiful beyond measure,
who would not notice or follow any one but
the King. Whenever the King rode
abroad, the greyhound was loosed by the
person who had him in charge, and ran in
stantly to caress him, by placing his two
front feet on his shoulders. 1t fell out
that as the King and the Duke of Lancaster
were conversing in the court of the castle,
their horses being ready for them to mount,
the greyhound was united, but instead of
running as usual to the King, he left him
and leaped to the Duke of Lancaster S
shoulders, paying him every court, and
caressing him as ne formerly used to caress
the King. The Duke, not acquainted
with this greyhound, asked the King the
meaning of this fondness, saying:
"What does this meant"
Cousin" replied the King, lit means
a great deal for you, AMI very little for
me-"
'How?s SAID the Duke. "Pray explain
it."
II understand by it." said the King,
'that this greyhound fondles and pays his
court to you this day, as King Of England,
which you will surely be, and l shall be
deposed; for the natural instinct of the dog
shows it to him. Keep him, therefore, by
your side; for he will now leave me and
follow you"
The Duke of Lancaster treasured up
what the King said, and paid attention TO
the greyhound, who would nevermore fol
low Richard of Bordeaux, but kept By the
side of the Duke of Lancaster. as was vii
messed by thirty thousand men.
