Buffalo NAT"

Old Nat whose peculiarly shaped
shoulders gives him the name Of Buff
falo Nat, operates small plantation
near Little Rock. Some time ago he
went around making educational
speeches, but now he is so bitterly OPP
posed to education that several days
ago he went to district school house,
obtained the log which he had con-
tributed to its erection, split it up, and
burned it in the presence of the trus-
lees

Examination of Candidates for a Custom
House Clerkship.

Thirty-four men, of ages ranging
from Il to 40 years, sat at number of
desks on the top floor of the Custom
House all day yesterday with large
sheets OF paper before them, Not a
sound was heard except the occasional
scratching of pen and the quick walk
Of attendants on the stone floor. Oc-
casionally one of the men at the desks
would hold up his hand, like child at
school, and a messenger would soon
be al his side to attend TO his wants.
Generally the attendant received u
large sheet of closely written paper,
which he deposited upon desk at one
end Of the room and returned with u
sheet containing number of litho-
graphed questions, with blank spaces
beneath each one for an answer. So
the work goes on from Q o'clock in the
morning till 4 in the afternoon. Then
the school is dismissed and the students
90 home.
This is class in the civil service re-
form school. The students are appli-
cants for 81, clerksbip. Notices
had been sent out for fifty persons to
attend the examination but only thirty
four attended. and of these some gave
up the contest before they had attempt
ed to answer half the questions. Five
new clerks are to be appointed
Occasionally some very ludicrous
answers are made to the questions
An examiner, when he took up the pa
per of middle-aged man, after the
dictation exercise, was surprised to see
a perfectly blank sheet.
"What does this meanP" he asked,
handing the man the paper
The middle-aged man took the sheet
and gravely wrote, II am totally deaf"
"What two naval heroes fought on
Lake Champlainp' brought out the in
formation that Lord CORVALLIS and
Admiral Nelson had exchanged shots

OLD CHURCH CALENDAR.


July "a, sixth Sunday after Trinity.
July 81, seventh Sunday after Trinity.
1t is evident, from the way s. Peter wrote,
That he had great confidence in tho argument
for Christianity that was furnished by the
lives of its professors. The way believers
lived, he thought, would convince more pow
erfully than all the logical IS Evidences that
could be presented. That was to be the great
proof that thor Faith was true and Divine
The arguments in words would have their
place, and would often silence gansayers, as
we'll as bring over the willing hearted aud the
teachable. But the habitual behavior, "the
conversations, in s. Peters language, would
prevail where all other arguments had proved
Intellectual. Especially is 1t the method to BIO
pursued at home. The domestic 60 Evidences
for Christianity" are to be the discretion, the
gentleness, the holiness, of the wives. This,
says the Apostle, will win over the husbands
to the obedience to Christ. That third chap
ter of his first epistIe is wonderful chapter
for wives. 1t reminds them what power they
have, and shows them how to use it, SO as to
reflect the greatest honor ON themselves, and
bring the largest blessing into the house, and
the most glory to God. rs. Peter does not
mean that the husbands are to be won over to
Jesus-won to hate the sins they now delight
in-won to give themselves up, body and
soul, to the Saviour--won to die for Him, II
need be,-by the wives preaching at them, as
the husband would say" 1t is the every day
behavior, the entire change of life, which
Christ makes in the heart of the true believer
this it is, by which the Christian wife is to
win, to save, her husband.
Next week we may tell OF a woman who
happily tried and accomplished this. Mean
while let the question of another Apostle, s.
Paul, live in the memory, and stir the heart
of the Christian matrons who may read our
column: "What knowest thou, o wife,
whether thou shalt save thy husband?"

IDLE ExPERrMENTs.-When man is well
and sound he can afford to be Indifferent to
the character Of all the medicine in the world.
But when disease is fairly eating him up, he
must do something at once and do 1t intelli--
gently. Therefore, do not dose yourself with
a hundred things in the hope that some of
them may bic the mark, but try Dr. David
Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy which hits it
every time. For kidney and liver troubles,
piles and constipation, it is just what you
want. Druggists have it, or mail one dollar

FRENcHTowN LETTER.--FREHcHTow
July 26.--Last Sunday morning about two
o'clock, a terrible noise alarmed the residents
of Bridge street, in Frenchtown. There had
been considerable drunkenness and revelry
through the evening, and near midnight sew
eral arrived from Pennington in a drunken
condition, which increased the midnight
brawling, and many of our citizens had been
unable TO obtain sleep at the time above men,
toned. The noise proved to be In the hard
ware store of George w. Bum. Robbers
had effected an entrance with chisels which
they had stolen from the carpenter shop of
John Sbafer aud David L. Hayes, IN Milford.
They helped themselves to pistols, razors and
many small articles of hardware, then hole
was drilled in the safe aud filled with powder,
aud hence the explosion. The door of the
safe was blown some ten feet, and three large
and valuable glass in the front windows of the
store broken in small pieces. The robbers,
three in number were seen by many, but es-
capped, although they entered the building
after the explosion and rified the safe of its
contents, excepting the books. The amount
of money they obtained is believed to be but
small. Thus far the robbers are at large
although every effort has been made to secure
their arrest.
On Friday night an attempt was made to
enter the blacksmith shop Of George Stinsman,
but the burglars were frightened away by
Mrs. S. giving the alarm.
For the last month rowdyism and intemper-
ance have been fearfully on the increase, but
these things do not appear to move our city
fathers to appoint night policemen who dale
to do their duty, and among other things ell
force the laws regarding the Christian Sab
bath. ~
