The press comments upon the late

commendatory and antagonizing. -

They Both Lied.

Mr.. Finlayson. town clerk Of Stir.
ling, Scotland, was noted for the mar
velous in conversation. He was on a
visit to the Earl OF Monteith and Airth,
in the castle of Taha, in the loch Of
Monteith, and was about taking leave,
when he was asked by the Earl il he
had seen the sailing cherry tree.
"No," said Finlayson; "what sort OF
q thing is it2'
at is" replied the Earl, ga tree that
has grown out of goose's mouth from
a stone the bird had swallowed, and
which she bears about with her in her
voyages round the loch. It is now in
full fruit of the most exquisite flavor.
Now, Finlayson," he added, . can you,
with all your powers Of memory and
fancy, match the story Of the cherry
treeT
Perhaps I can," said Finlayson,
clearing his throat and adding: "When
Oliver Cromwell was at Airth, one OF
the cannons sent ball to Stirling, and
lodged it in the mouth OF q trumpet
which one of the troopers in the castle
was in the act of sounding"
+" Was the trumpeter killed 2" asked
the Earl.
"No, my lord" said Finlayson; "he
blew the bali back and killed the artil.
leryman who fred it."

Head Hunting.

The practice OF head hunting still ex.
lists in Borneo, though it is evidently
dying out in the regions over which the
Dutch have any control. 1t is curious
custom. No youth is allowed to don
the tokens Of manhood or pay his ad-
dresses to any Malay maid till he has
been able to bring in two or three of his
enemies heads. Births, marriages, and
deaths and many other events In the
lives Of these half savage people cannot
be properly celebrated without the pres.
encs OF Q few fresh heads; and in almost
every house one or more OF these tro-
phies are slowed away wrapped up in
banana leaves. 1t appears likely that
the custom is simply survival from
cannibalism. Indeed. among the few
remaining cannibsl Dyaks in Keetei 1t
Is still the custom to reserve the head
for the chief, the remainder Of the vic
tins body being divided among the
common people.

Talking a Hole Through a Board.I

Michigan has given birth to new re-
iigious sect, which is mainly composed
Of diasenters from other denominations.
The new denomination Ia oa1l6d "The
Living Church Of God" and the mem
beers are called "the chosen" From al
accounts they are very singular peo-
pie. According 10 q correspondent Of
the Chicago Inter. Ocean, the members
are admitted to the society with great
form and . prescribed order Of exer-
discs, much like some Of the secret so-
cittiss. They claim to be possessed Of
some very grave secrets regarding the
near approsch Of the end Of the world
which have been impaired 10 them by
divine aspiration. A delegation Of
twelve Of their members, as chosen
apostles, have been selected to prepare

are communista as ali members who are
worth. over 5000 put their property
together and divide the profits pro
rata. They take many customs from
the Jews, and have large number Of
holy days, which they keep very strictly,
besides Saturday and Sunday OF each
week, which are observed g. days Of
rest. They do NOT have anything to do
with outsiders any more than is strictly
necessary. They never marry but once,
and IN the event of the death Of husband
or wife, remain single the remainder Of
their life. Divorce and separation are
not allowed, and any difficulty which
may come up in the family on church
are Wrought before the twelve elders,
from whose decision there IN no appeal.
In their dress AM mode Of living they
are very simple, the men wearing their
hair out shert and faces smoothly
shaven, and the women wearing only
their natural hair hanging loosely down
their backs. They are Industrious and
frugal, and are accommodating much
