AN ARABS TR1CK.-The Bedouin
Arabs are noted for their sharp thefts
practised upon one another as we'll as
travellers. A writer in Chambers Jour-
nal tells of trick that would do credit
to trained detective:

East, not being quite satisfied with the
appearance of the mare he rode, asked
his Arab servant if he was sure she got
her allowance. f...se

Truth, when it is won, is the posses
sion of the whole nature. By the action
of the whole nature only can it be gain
ed. The king must go with his coun-
sellers at his side and his army at his
back, or he makes no conquest. The
intellect must be surrounded by the
richness of the affections and backed by
the power of the will, or it attains no
perfect truth. Philip Brooks.

TO reflective thinkers and reasoners,
who are not blinded by prejudice and
bigotry, the difference between the re-
ligious zeal of the Professionals and Cath
olics must stand out in bold relief. We
witness this even daily in our cities, for
while our Catholic churches are crowded
night and morning throughout the week
with poor but pious worshippers, our
Protestant churches are closed, and when
opened are SO poorly attended that their
ministers choose rather to keep them
shut than make known the fact that
their congregations reserve their re-
ligion. like good clothes, for Sunday

CHURCH WORSHIP IN RUSSIA.

The Rev. E. P. Thwing, of Brooklyn,
writes from st. Petersburg to The Con-
gregationalist in regard to the religious
practices of the Russians among whom
he has been spending some time. The
Greek service, he says. is in ancient
Church Slavonic and is very elaborate,
being we'll calculated to impress the
common people with awe for the Gar
and the church of which he is the head.
The distinctions of wealth and social
standing are abolished in the house of
God. There are no pews and no reserv-
ed places, but all stand except when
they kneel or fall in the dust. SIT
would not do the average American a
bit of HARM" says Mr.. Thwing, "to be
put through a course of genuaections
and prostrations after the Gr8co-Rus-
sian style. 1t might help to moderate
some of his impudence to be made to
kneel oftener; even to get his face fair
ly in the dust, as [ have seen in the
case of well-dressed ladies, black-coated
civilians, and officers in gold lace as
well as poor folks" In regard to the
doctrines taught and to the reverence
which the people pay to the church, Mr.
Thwing says: "These people differ from
the Romish in rejecting the Pope's prim
acy, purgatory, supererogation, indul
gencies, the worship of images, and eel
ibacy. Believing that flame is emblem

the gentleman described it SO exactly
that the boy put his lost property at
once into his extended hand.
Of course the gentleman was pleased,
and of course he thanked the finder,
asked his name and address, and praised
his honesty. but he did not offer him
one of the bright silver dollars as reward
and, in fact, Oscar was too happy in the
sense of resisted temptation to notice the
omission.
He burst into the sitting-room at
home as soon as he could get there and
told his story-omitting, perhaps, that
part of it which had existed only in his
own mind, much to the admiration and
wonder of his mother and sisters. Cous-
in Fannie, however, exclaimed:

LEBAyoN, June 30.-On Monday
night last the large barn on the farm
of Aaron Bomberger, about three
miles from here, was totally destroy
ed by fire, involving a loss of S4 900,
lot of horses and fourteen head of
cattle, etc, being also destroyed
The fire was thought to be the work
of an incendiary, and as Joseph Pc
ters was in the locality at the time,
and acting under suspicious circum-
stances, he was arrested last night
on the charge Of setting fire to the
barn. Peters is the son-in-law of
Charles Drews, one of the Raber
murderers, and was the principal
witness for the Commonwealth in
that case, and it was principally
through his testimony and that OF
his wife that the five murderers were
hanged. Peters says that he Lad
nothing to do with the firing of the
barn. He admits having been there
that night. He is evidently dement,
ed, being haunted with the belief
that he is bewitched, and that he
can be freed from the spell only by
paving a certain amount of money,
which he tried to beg, with varying
success. His wife and child are at
present cared for by friends, as he is
unable to provide for them.

PorrsTowS, july 1.-Adam Haines
OF Hamburg, a carpenter of the
Philadelphia d Reading Railroad
Company, and working with Adam
Nipples gang, was Instantly killed
yesterday morning, a short distance
above Pottstown. Haincs, with sew
eral others, was engaged during the
morning in putting wall plates un-
der the strineers across Il culyert be-
tween the two signal towers west OF
Pottstown. Halnes was in the cul-
vert when the No. 10 passenger
train going south came along. His
companions, hearing the train, got
out of the way, but Haines delayed
in getting out of the ditch, when his
fellow workmcn called to him, but
he became cofifused, and instead of
getting on the up track, as he sup
posed, he deliberately stepped in
front OF the engine, which strucl,
him and threw him about twenty
feet, killing him instantly. Both
legs were broken at the ankles and
his head badly cut and bruised.
The train was stopped and the un-
fortunate man taken to Pottstown.
4 coroner's jury rendered a verdict
IL accordance with the facts. Haines
has been in the employ of the com
pany for Il number of years, has al
ways been a faithful and industrious
employe, and leaves a wife and five
children. Deceased was forty years
of age.

An Excursion Party in n Storm.

WASHINGTON, June So The
teamer Arrowsmith, which took an
excursion party down the Potomac
yesterday, encountered q terrific
storm of wind and hail off Bluff
Point. The storm came Up the riv-
er from the Chesapeake and struck
the Point, where the steamer lay,
with great fury. One of the life
boats on the steamer was lifted off
the hurricane deck and carried about
200 yards.
The storm, although of short dur
alton, was quite as violent as the
one which swept over this city on
Monday night. The steamer was
forced against her wharf, and her
side above the lower deck crushed
in, but the injury was not of such a
nature as to in any way disable her.
The worst feature Of the storm was
the blowing down of the bath houses
in which were some OF the excur-
sionists. All escaped serious injury
except one young lady who was
caught in the debris and had her
left arm fractured near the shoulder.
The steamer left the Point for home
Immediately after the storm had
passed, and arrived here safely about
haif-nast 9 O'Clock last night.

Ed. HERALD The result Of the late Re
publican Primary election in this county
seems to indicate that the little confedcracy
set up in this end of the county by the Mey-
ersdale Commercial is failure. Ever since
the editor of that paper has washed himself
of what he designates as Cameron ring
ISM he has been playing the bull in Chi
na shop. Formerly the public patronage
was pretty equally divided between the two
sections of the county but the wasiiy-
washy policy of the Conmerciai has driven
it to the centre and north of the county.
After this fall the south OF the county will
be left out in the cold, and the iielzle policy
of the C5mmerciai has contributed more
towards than any other cause. The milk
and water diet dishcd ont by tat journa,
may be good for weak-knced and dyspetic
Republicans, but ''stalwarts' could not long
subsist on it, and remain strong and vigor-
Gus. Weak diet suits weak constitutions
Any attemp; TO purify party by antagon-
ising its members and causing division Is
foolish if not wicked.
The Commcycial under its present manage
ment is doing an incalcaablc injury to the
Republicans OF the very section of the coun-
ty ii processes TO benefit. If that journal in
tends to reform the Republican party fthis
county it is making poor progress and had
better stop and contemplate upon what it
has accomplished. G..

All manner Of cruelty was inflicted,
including the cutting of the chest
and back with a knife. The vic
