| from an educated minister. These people | have strong and well defined notions as to the kind of preaching that suits them. If the preacher ranges extensively over the Bible, 1 and quotes great deal of scripture without any regard to it's appropriateness or connec- 1 ton with the text, they say of him approving ly: sHe's scripter preacher. He's not 8 larnt man, but he's real scripter preacher. :" Hence many of these preachers range over both the Old and New Testaments in every sermon, and quote as much as they can, with as little connection as page in the dictiona- ".
 The preacher on this occasion took for his text the words, ssThe home of the Lord is 8 strong tower the righteous runneth into 1t, and is safe" He described these towers as places of safety, ranged through the Old Testament, and, coming down to the New, said: t"The world was then in an awful con- dition; there were no towers, no places of safety The whole generation was without tower. You may say; How do you know this is so You haven't much learning. You haven't read many histories An but I've got scripter for it. I don't want any histo- ries when I've got the Bible for it. Here it is. Peter, preaching to, them on the day of Pentecost, said, Save yourselves from this uncovered generation. ,"
 After the meeting ssbroke" and they mount ed their horses to ride to dinner, my old friend said to the preacher :-
 'eWhy, Brother Mansfield, you made 8 great mistake in your sermon this morning"
 Mistake ?" said he, ''what was it, Brother Roach ?''
 'sWhy. that about the uncovered gener tion. It is notisuntowered generation" he; ''it is untoward. It is, Save yours> this untoward generation '''

BrutaIAssault by Tramp.
 NASHUA, Dec. 29.-Further particulars have been received from Merrimac this after noon concerning the deadly brutal assault made by tramp on Amos Estey, a well to-do farmer of that town, by whom he was em- ployed. Mir. Estey had been to this city with 8 load of hay, and while in his barn after re- turning home was struck by the tramp and knocked insensible. He says the last he knew he was being pounded by pitchfork handle The tramp then went into the house and told Mrs Estey that her husband had fallen from scafold and was dying. He was taken into the house by neighbors and is now in very enfeebled condition. The tramp's object was robbery, as he supposed Estey had $50 in his pocket. This, how ever, proved not to be the case, as he had left his wallet in the house before going to the barn.

An1na1cted criminars Clever nu.e.

PH11ADELPH1A, Dec. 29.-A remarkable case of personating prisoner was discovered to-day during the sitting of the quarter ses- sions court. An indictment charging John Mulligan with larceny of carpet was taken up for trial and a person who answered to that name was placed in the dock. It was then discovered that the man who answered to the name WAS not the Mulligan named in the bill of indictment. Investigation devel- oped the fact that while in the prisoners quarters awaiting trial the real Mulligan had induced man named Phineas Taylor, who had been sentenced to six months in the house of correction for vagrancy, to change places with him for consideration. Accord mgly Taylor appeared in the dock to-day and pleaded not guilty to the .charge of larceny and the deception was only discovered by &C., cident. Orders have been sent from the Dis trict attorneys office to have Mulligan pro- duced in court to answer to the indictment.

The survivors of the Jeannette,

The Survivors of the Jeannette.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-George Kennan, who has had extensive experience in Arctic travel, has written letter criticising the dis patch sent from London last week which read as follows:
 LONDON, Dec 24-According to intelligence from St. Petersburg. great indignation prevails there at minisrstion Eastern Siberia who refused to tele graph the announeement of the arrival of the surv funds. The first news of the escape was consequent ly delayed ten weeks
 He says there is no such officer as presi- dent of the administration, but that Siberia is under control of the Governor General. In ridiculing the idea that the dispatches were detained ten weeks at Ekoutsk he points out that they began to be detained two weeks before they were written. From personal knowledge of General Sheloskni- koff, of Hkoutsk, he says it is preposterous to say that he detained despatches because there were no funds to forward them. Referring to the fact that news of the Jeannette was eighty-two days in reaching New York he says Deduct ten weeks from the alleged detention of despatch es in Irkoutsk and there remain only twelve days for the journey of the messenger to that point from the mouth of the Lena, fully 2,5o0 miles through an almost uninhabited Arctic desert in the worst months of the win ter and at season when the sun in that Iati- tude is above the horizon only about two hours of the twenty four To make this time messenger would have to travel up the Lena as far as Yokoutsk without changes of dogs or horses at 8 rate of nearly two hun dred miles g day, which is more than five timesthe speed ordinarily attained on such journeys. He concludes as follows i: As long as the interests of other European powers are opposed to the interests of Rus sia in the East we may expect from Berlin, London and Vienna prejudiced statements and misleading telegrams with regard to Rus sian affairs. But the fact that Russia is mis- represented by her enemies is not sufficient reason for allowing her without protest to be wounded in the house of her friends.
