A CONGRESS OF Venetian doctors has
been carefully considering the effect of
polenta as an article of food. This Italian
Indian corn-meal is pronounced to be whole
some when in good condition and properly
cooked, but it is condemned as injurious
when of inferior quality. When raised
upon exhausted soil, or allowed to mildew
from improper care, it first causes scabs to
appear on the head and face, and the dis
eased condition results in idiocy and mad
ness.

If THE Constitution can be relied upon, the
journalists who visitited the big cotton
show at Atlanta, made the acquaintance of
royalty. 1t says: "We alluded the other
day to the fact that Mr.. Handy, of the
Philadelphia Press, had met four kings, in
introduced by Mr.. Miller of the New York
Times. We should have added that Mr.
Handy resumod his seat on the excursion
train and, ~ the next station, called Mr..
Miller's attention to four untimely queens"

SOME OF THESE DAYS we'll probably get
hold Of tho art of preserving bodies after
death, but nature is ahead of art, if you
happen to catch nature under the right
conditions. Out in Indiana they have just
exhumed the body of young lady who
was buried twenty-five years ago. The body
was in metallic caskct and was found to
be in perfect state of preservation, about
the only change noticeable being some
what shrunken condition of the cheeks.
Even the natural flowers in the coffin were
as perfect as when placed there nearly a
quarter of century ago.

IT Is NOW whispered that the reason OF
the ex-Queen of Spain's intimacy with our
American princess, Mrs. Mackay, was that
the fair Californienne had loaned the Queen
some thousands of francs, for which that
lady had given her note. Monsieur Mac
kay attempted to collect the sum loaned
when the note became due, but her Majesty
blandly informed him that she never paid
such things; that she considered the debt
cancelled by the introductions and invita-
tions she had given.-E1change
Monsieur Mackay should bathe his wife's
head in ice-cold water, for If she keeps on
indulging in loans to queens and sich " on
the retired list, her plethoric lord will have
to hang up some collateral jewelry to get
home on in about twelve months.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
ZlON'S NEW ORGAN.
Conservation Services Yesterday.

COnsecration Services Yesterday.
Zion Lutheran church, of which Rev.
f. L. Mayser is pastor, was the scene of
very interesting services yesterday. The
fine new organ built for the congregation
by Mir. Burner, of QuakertOwn, full de-
scription of which was given in the IN
TELLIGENCER week or two ago, was SOL
emily consccratcd in accordance with the
ceremonies of the Lutheran churce.
The services began at 10 o'clock a. H.,
every seat in the church being occupied,
while many persons anxious to participate
failed to gain admittance. The dcdicatory
sermon was preached by Rev. B. W.
Schmauk, of Allentown, from the gospel
of the day, st. Johns gospel, 1st chapter
23 verse and Paul's epistle to the Philippi-
ans 4th chapter, aud 18th to 7th verse in.
elusive. The reverend orator spoke in
German, his sermon being scholarly and
vel! delivered. The organ was in charge
Of Prof. Carl Matz, who played the accom-
paniment to the anthems and hymns, and
also an admirable voluntary. The pure
rich tones of the instrument gave the
greatest satisfaction to all who had Oppor-
tun:ty ohear it. After the conservation
the instrument was taken in charge by
Mr.. Balzer, the regular organist cf the
congregation, who also played a number
OF fine pieces. The morning collection
amounted to 3133,
In the afternoon there were Sunday
school services arranged specially for the
occasion, an interesting feature being a
dialogue by Masters Willie Darmstctter
and Harry Lindeman, members OF the
Sunday-school, the subject being "The
Organ and its Uses." A quartet sung
by young men of the congregation was
very finely rendered.
In the evening there was again 4 very
large congregation, the pastor, Rev. May.
ser, preaching 4 ringing sermon in Ger
man from the last word Of the last verse
of the last Psalm. In the course Of his
remarks he spoke of the beauty, the har-
mony OF musical chords, and illustrating
his remarks by having the chords struck by
the orsanist at the proper momcnt-an
arrangement to that effect having previ-
ously been made. The effect was novel
and very pleasing. The evening collection
was also u large one, bat the amount is
! not stated.
This evening there Will be services ut
Zion in the English language, conducted
by the pastors and choirs OF the English
speaking Lutheran churches. The sermon
will be preached by Rev. E. Greenwald,
d. ID. pastor of the church Of the Holy
Trinity.

Cashier Peppers Successor.

At meeting OF the directors o: the
Lancaster County national bank, this
morning, Mr.. FRANKLIN III. Breneman was
unanimously elected cashier Of the institu-
ton, to fill the vacancy occasiOned by the
recent death Of Mr. VIM. l.. PEPPER. In
this selection the bnarl did ample justice
to the interests committed to their charge,
and fully satisfied the public expectation.
Mr.. Dreneman has been connected with
tho institution for twenty eight years, and
is familiar to all its patrons. During this
time ho has gradually risen in the conf
dence of the directors, and his responsible
ties have steadily increased with the in
crease of tho banks business. Latterly he
has ranked next to MIR. PEPPER and many Of
the duties of cashier practically fell upon
him. His uniform courtesy, his thorough
with the business, and his
admirable social qualities, will mako his
promotion highly acceptable to the bust
ness community and especially grateful to
his III any personal friends.

SUDDEN DEATH,
Victim of Epilepsy SuflocAted.


George Koch, aged about SIS years, a SON
Of Andrew Koch, tailor. residing 4. No.
2f7 Arch alley, was found dead in his bed
yesterday morning. Coroner Mishler be-
ing notified, held an inquest. From testi-
mony before the jury it appeared that
George Koch had been subject to epileptic
fits from the time he was ten years old.
Occasionally he would be exempt from them
for considerable time, and ut other times
he would have two or three on a single
day. That he might have assistance
whenever he needed it, he and his father
Sep. in adjoining rooms, the door between
them being generally left open. Saturday
night the door appears to have been closed
and when George was called to breakfast
he did not respond. His father at once
went to his room and found him lying on
his face dead. Df. Brown. who attended
the inquest as coroner's physician, after
having made an examination of the body,
testified that death was caused by
asphyxia, the probability being that
George was attacked with Il fit, fell over
on his face and slnothcred by having his
face buried in his own pillow. In his
struggles he had bitten his tongue almost
through and his lips were also a good Ceal
bitten, his mouth being much clOsged
with blood. The jury rendered verdict
that deceased came to his death by as.
phyxia caused by al cpileptic fit.

An Admirable Appointment.

Mr.. Brewster was suggested as Mr..
MacVeagh's successor Immediately upon
his resignation, because OF the obvious
fitnes: of the selection and his friendly
relations with the president and the
ruling Republican influence in Penn
sylyania. The hesitation in his appoint
ment has not been understood and is not
vet explained. The belief is that the
star route friends of the president were
responsible for it. The decision that has
been made seems to show that they have
been thrown overheard. No one will
accuse Mr.. Brewster Of having the
faintest Intention of doing anything but
his whole duty in the prosecution OF the
cases, nor will anyone dispute that in his
hands the work will be at least us
vigorously and successfully done rs it
could nave been by Mr.. Mac Neagh.
Mr.. Brewster stands in the very
front rank of tie bar Of the coun-
try and will certainly SHED lustre
upon the office he assumes and the adj
ministration he connects himself with,
unless he bellies his life and reputation.
Mr.. Arthur could not have dcne more
in one appointment to secure respecta-
bility to lis cabinet, and TO balance him
self with that public confidence in the
integrity of his administration which it
is safe to say there is sore need of. 1t
may be that in his elevation to his great
place in the world he had determined to
turn over new leaf, and to deserve the
reputation for intelligence and integrity
which alone can give his name 4 sweet
smelling SAVIOR that for many long
year las not attached to the occupant OF
his chair. Fame, no doubt, has been the
aspiration of his predecessors, who
lacked the sense and seEsibility to
achieve it. Arthur may he smarter.
A bad man i'm a political sense he certain
ly has been. \ wise man as president
he will show himself to be if he con
tinues TO select his advisers from Brew
ster's class.

that he was never in better financial con-

has $4,000 worth Of tobacco lying in this
