The Mennonites have unique method of
choosing minister. They nominate candidates,
and the candidates meet and draw lots for
the position. The drawing is simple. A
bishop or elder takes a number of hymn books,
all OF which are alike and places in one of them
Il slip of paper on which is written, IL is your
lot" The candidates then select the books
which are piled up or placed in row, and the
one who draws the paper lis declared the
preacher and is Installed Immediately. Thus
the least popular of the candidates is as likely
to secure the position as the one who received
ti1ns were made. The preachers receive no
salary.
The Congregationdlist thinks that q it is high
time for churches of every denomination to
awake and enter with all their might upon the
endeavor to evangelize the whole land, if the
United States is to be made and kent a Chris
tan nation" Its reason for this opinion is that
owlngt to the tremendous Observation-Disclosures
ing our own land from immigration, Ignorance
Communism, Socialism, Nihilism, Norm onism,
kearneyism Spirituaism, Jesuitism material
ism, rationalism and almost every other evil
ism which the fertile brain of man under the
instigation of the devil has invented, there is
now an unparalleled crisis upon us, and one
whose demands it is, and must be, our first duty
to meet" This gloomy view of the future is
enough to make the face of the most extreme
pessmist radiant with delight, if such an indi-
vidual is capable of experiencing delight at any
thing.

THE bear garden, as it has been so
aptly called, was IN full blast at Harris
burg last night. Irrespective of The
merits or dement's of any of the legisa
tive measures involved, the whole per-
formance was disgraceful and discom-
ment at length upon these periodical
exhibitions of blind and selfish partner
ship in our law makers. For years past
the taxpayers OF the State have looked
forward to the assembling of the Legis-
la,ure in apprehension of just such per-
tormances as were given them last night.
1t is Che fault of the voters themse Ives
that such things are possible, aud the
time is tar distant, we fear, when there
will be such a general uprising at the
polls as will render their repetition i'm
possible. just now, of course, all the
better elements in the State are in dis
gusted and indignant mood. If they
could be kept in that temper until the
next Legislative election, they might
make their disgust and indignation felt
at the polls. But the next election is
twenty months off, and when the bur
lesque statesmen who figured last night
come up for re- election it is TO be feared
that they will, in the majority Of Cases,
be quietly, and even eagerly, voted for
by the taxpayers who are to-day giving
vent to their indignation and disgust

A sUPERsrITIoUs MUSICIAN.

King Louis Philippe once gave Rossini
q magnificent repeater, which the latter
was extremely proud OF, and carried in
his pocket for years. One afternoon, as
he showing it to some acquaintance In a
cafe, strange gentleman walked up to
the table and said: an. Rossini, yeu do
BOT know the secrets OF your watch, al
though you have worn it for such long
time. win you permit me to reveal
them?" Rossini, with an ironiesl smile,
banded him the atch, when the strang-
sr touched hidden spring, and false
lining to the back of the watch,aew open
disclosing the neastGo's portrait, painted
in miniature, aud surrounded by wreath
Of enamelled Arabic characters. This
mysterious person then svowed himself
TO be the maker of the watch, but though
urgently begged by Rossini to tell him
the significance OF the Arabic words alb
solutely refused to do so. Rosslni, con-
vinced that some evil spell mnst be in
the queer characters, became so afraid of
the watch that he would never wear IL
again, aud after his death 1t was found
hidden away and covered with dust.

THERE is now very little doubt that
the wealthy people who hold the
bonds of the Government, and who
succeeded in getting Hayes to veto the

have been able tO induce Garfield 10

that they viii thp us influence the de-
feat Of any refunding scheme before

TOO late. The sa me schemersI assisted
by the banks may then be able To
make money scarce enough TO render
refunding at a 10 wer rate of interest
doubtful. And SO the people will be
sAddled with the tax to raise several
hundred million more of dollars,
whereas, had Hayes net vetoed the
