5 SENSATION IN PLYMOUTH
CHURCH.

New YORK, April A deep hush fell
upon Plymouth Church, and every ear
was strained, yesterday, when Mr.. Beechel
ssait he woaid dsrelate an incident which he
had never'spoken of before. He remarked,
playfully, he would now tell it confident
tally. "There came to me-" he said, ga
member of my own church, the moth
er of a young woman, who said her
daughter had become fascinated with the
Roman worship and wanted to unite with
that church. [ said to her, Tell your
childsto wait one year until her own mind
and Judgment is settled, and if, at the
end Of that time, she shall find that she
is drawn nearer to God and to Heaven
through that church, let her come and
we will take her by the hand and carry
hel to the door, At the end of the year
she was still anxious to enter that church,
and sat down and wrote letter to an
honored Catholic pastor Of this city, and
said This lamb has found greener pas
lures in your fields than in mine She
ioined the Catholic Church, and is to-day
a happy Christian girl in that commun-
ion."
Any one cOuld nave heaIu pili uroP
while Beecher was telling this, and there
was what is generally called "sensa-
tion." He added, "Pd do it again if
necessary, for when I spoke of the unity
of all that believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ, meant it. don't believe in ex-
ternal unity, but I believe in internal
unity" In this connection the preacher
also said, 81 would rather ride in the most
ragged third-class car that was ever put
on the rail if it would take me nearer
home than in the most luxurious parlor
car that was ever built, if it would take
me further from home"

How to Pack 4 Trunk.

The art of packing is by no means a
common accomplishment, and the comic
pictures which represent the girl of the
period despairingly sitting on her trunk,
while the maid-of-all-work vainly endea-
vors to lock it and the expressman clam
ors at the door, are scarcely as much ex-
aggerated as one might suppose. 1t is
always disagreeable and difficult to pack
in hurry; therefore, it is wise to begin
In season, say at least day before it
seems at all necessary to do so. See
that your trunks are in order, and allow
ample time for any repairs which are to
be made, for mechanics, as many of us
know to our sorrow, are more apt to
make fair promises than to keep them.
After the trunks are ready, get every
thing together which is to be packed,
and then go quietly and systematic lily
to work. Very large trunks are an abo-
mination over which expressmen groan
and swear not altogether without reason.
Still, small ones are inconvenient, ex-
cept for short journeys, and multiply ex-
pense, as the expressage is for each
piece, be 1t Saratoga trunk or small va
ise, without regard to size. But what
ever the size of the trunk, it should be
filed, or at least packed full enough to
prevent the contents from tossing about.
If you are compelled to take trunk
which is too large for what you need to
pack in it, fill it with crumpled paper,
rather than leave it half empty. Even
experienced travellers have only par
tial idea Of the rough usage TO which
baggage is subjected or how remorseless-
ly trunks are pitched about. The train
stops for two minutes, perhaps, and
your new Saratoga is thrown-not lifted
from the baggage car down ON the
platform, and then knocked around,
pitched first on one end and then on an
other, until it would seem as though
every fastening must be wrenched ou.
Of place. In this condition of affairs,
unless the trunk is closely packed the
contents viii be literally churned ur
and down, and the clothes, which you
have carefully folded, will be tumbled
to Q degree, even If nothing worse come,

What is Needed.

The agricultural mind Is naturally inde :
pendent, looking to the ground and the
skies for support. Ingram In it is the
thought of propping the State but never
of be ng supported by it. 1t is naturally
land kept flowing with milk and honey by
good farming. 1t has many enemies in ma
ture that 1t knows of and cannot conceive
of any that it don't know OF. That it
should be managed and gradually trained
to this or that direction from the out side,
like an OK, is also inconceivable. That Il
schooling of its children should be 30 con.
trived as to weaken their hold upon out
side affairs is scarcely conceivable by it.
In truth the government, or the civilISa-
ton which does this long, cuts Its ogn
throat, like hog swimming. The picture
of the old man trying the virtue of stones
on the rude boy in the apple tree might
well be put back into the spelling book.
Immigration will help but cannot alone
reinforce the State. Ihe minds of our
own young people must be tent or broken
to agricultural pursuits. The few farmers
who have kept strict agricultural schools
all their lives need not be ashamed of re-
ceiving help In that direction from revised
law. Mechanics have had it for q century
Millions upon millions in treasure and
blood have been spent in Strengthening
our mechanical arm. Tariff-viIles are
thriving everywhere while weeds and grass
are growing In the old farm barr-yard.
But the pendulum which governs human
action, swings both ways on general ave-
rage in long term of yearA The people
will not take stone for bread. But no great
progress in agriculture. morals or religion
can be made until we take our life leases
of agricultural LARD as q sacred trust. and
learn to leave our bit OF the world as good
as we found it. All robbery, dishonesty,
lnddelity and wrong is built up from rob-
bing the land.

to them.
There are expressmen, and express
men, and it once happened to the writ
er to fall in with an accommodating one
In moment of extremity. At the last
minute it was discovered that the key of
a trunk was missing, having mysterious
ly disappeared from the lock, and to this
hour it has never been found. SCOT q
stout rope, marm?" One was produced,
he proceeded to tie up the trunk across
each way, knotting the cord scientific
ally. "There, now, that1l hold. You
see it's better to have the rope both
ways, SO as the top can't come off A
trunk straps pretty good but ropes
better, cause it goes both ways" In
England baggage is always corded for
long journeys.
Nothing heavy, like books, etc.,
should ever be put in the top of trunk,
since the more heavily it is weighted the
more likely the hinges are to break.
Dresses should be carefully folded with
the founces laid smooth and drawing
strings let out, the waist folded but once
the wrong side out, with the sleeves laid
over the back and the fronts over all.
Then, if absolutely necessary, the bas-
que may be folded again down the mid
die seam of the back but never across.
Packing trunks for ball dresses come
with several trays, one above the other,
each capable of holding one dress and
its accessories. At the Partisan modis-
tes', where professional packers are en-
ployed, the art of dress-packing is car
ried to perfection. The dress is taken,
and if it is separate from the corsage, it
can be laid in the tray with only slight
fold at the top Of the skirt. The train
is spread out first; then every puff or
fold is kept up by soft wads of yellow
tissue-paper, white having been found to
darken white and delicately- tinted satin.
This is to prevent the creasing or crush
ing to which velvet and satin are parti-
cularly liable. Large sheets of the pa
per are then placed over the whole.
The waist is next taken and laid out fiat,
like bat, upon the paper covered skirt.
The sleeves are filed with paper so as
to retain the shape made by the arms;
every button is covered with paper, and
under bead fringes, etc.. are laid pieces
of paper to prevent discoloration or cut
ting. Over the whole is then placed
final layer. When the top tray is reach
ed, and, perhaps, the next one also be-
side the paper sheet of the finest cot
ton batting, such as florists use, is pla-
eed over it, and in turn, over this a lay
er of oil silk. This is a precaution |
against the penetration of dampness or
dust.
A clever American notion is that of |
adjustable trays which may be fitted to
any trunk. These are merely tray bot
toms. formed of frames, with tape end
pieces, which hold them firmly in place.

Training Fighting Dogs.

"What is the first step In trai hing q dog,
for fight" asked q reporter Of Q canine
trainer.
'.After you have found out that your dog
possesses certain good qualities, particu-
larly that OF good slayer, and you have
succeeded in matching him, you irst want
to put him through course of medicine
physic him for Ave or six days"
"what do you physic him wlthf" inter-
ruptsd the reporter.
''IIhat Is the secret known only to dog
trainer. One trainer uses this and another
that. If q trainer physics a dog success
fully, he is not apt to give his method
away"
what follows the physickingf"
''We then commence building him up
by degrees. He is fed the first day about
a quarter of q pound of the very best of
beef, and DAY by day as be increases in
strength the allowance is increased an
ounce or two."
''What exercise is he gievn?"
''Various kinds. His muscle must be
developed; he must become and active, and
his wind must be made good and strong.
For the developement of his muscles he Is
walked every day about three miles or 50.
He is strengthened by the tramp and not
:atlgued. To make him agile he is given
the bag exercise every day. 1t is very anus
ing. A cat is placed in bag and suspend
ed abou; eighteen inches from the ground.
The dog Is muzzled 30 as not TO do the Cat
any harm. The bag is started to and fro,
the cat begins to NEW, which attracts the
attention of the dog, and he springs at the
bag. Striking 1t with his front feet he
pushes it away from him, which excites
bis anger, and he keeps up a continual
springing until he is worn out This sort
Of exercise Is kept up for some time, when
he is given exercise tending to better his
wind"
''What does 1t consist Off"
'.No;hing more than placing him on an
endless chain-treadle machine the same as
those used on a horsepower feed cutting
machine, only on smaller scale. He is
placed in position with baud across his
breast and traces attached, and the treadle
is started. The faster the dog moves so
much faster goes the treadle, AMI he can't
stop until his trainer thinks ne has had
enough exercise for one day. THIS kind of
exercise he is given until two or three days
before the fight, when he is allowed to
rest up for the purpose of getting him in
good spirits. iou talk about training
horses, tell you 1t Is ten times harder to
train fighting dog properly than it is
horse

An Esquimau Hunting Camp.

During tine latter part oil the month of
August, | visited one of these hunting
camps on the southern bank of Connery
River, above the gateway through which
the search party passed on the return from
King Williams Land, in February, 1880.
In this camp were three tupics. containing
four families, and when moving camp,
which occurred every other day while
was with them, every one, old and young.
men, and women, had his load, and the
dogs staggered under burdens that would
fill with sadness the heart of member of
the ). p. G. 4. Even palsied old crone
had upon her back tine skins which COM
prised her bed. 1t was a comparatively
light load, but she had To keep up with the
line of march as best she could, or fall be-
hind aRd come along at her leisure. Only
when we forded the river, which was ac-
corEplished at portage, over and through
the stones of which the water dashed with
great violence, did any one go to the assis-
tance of the DID woman. Then two young
men took her light frame in their brawny
arms and carried her safely through the
| torrent, landing her upon the opposite
shore, where she was again left to follow,
or not, as she pleased. 1t is astonishing
what burdens these fellows will carry Upon
their backs, by means of thong which
passe. across the breast and just below the
shoulders, sometimes supported by an ad-
ditional thong over the forehead Besides
their share of the load. the women have the
Youngest child in their hoods or sitting up
on the back-load, with their feet around
their mothers neck. The men seldom Of
fer to relieve their partners of the infant,
unless it be the heir, In which case
the father will sometimes deign
to take him upon his own bundle. But 1t
always seemed to me as if the fathers
would rather see their daughters left be-
hind to become food for wolves than lower
their dignity by carrying female child.
Arrived at the spot selected for the new
camp, bundles are laid aside, and all.
throwing themselves upon the ground, en-
Joy few moments of peaceful rest. Then
pipes are filled and passed from mouth to
mouth, and conversation upon the prospect
of reindeer being seen is entered into by the
men, while the women erect the tents, un-
lead the dogs, and put down the bedding.
If there is any meat in camp, moss is gath
cred by the women, and q fire is started in
the doorway of the tent to cook potful of
meat, while the men lounge abou. and
smoke. or roam over the hills to look for
traces of reindeer. During the daytime,
while the men are hunting, the women and
children generally repair to the nearest
Lake, and fish for the fine salmon which
abounds In al the waters of that locality,
and which are eaten either raw or cooked.
