HERE AND THERE.

Corken was Congregational preach
er at Salisbury Point, Mass. He was
rapidly making a reputation as an or
ator when village paper reported one
of his sermons, and it was found to be
identical with an old discourse by
Canon Wilberforce. Then he left the
pulpit, and became physician in
Lynn, but with no better luck, for he
is now under arrest for malpractice.
Mary Trip had longer experience
in trousers than most women do who
put them OH. She wore them at Alb
ington, Mass. and other New Eng
land places, for seven years. She
lived with her husband part of the
time, but occasionally went away for
remunerative employment. Her last
venture was in horse stealing, as a re-
suit of which she is now in prison.
John H. McVicker, father-in-law o.
Edwin Booth, and one of the oldest
theater managers in the country, has
been lecturing in Chicago on the pref
udice under which the drama labors.
He says that the Church and the press
are alike antagonistic; that the former
condemns without taking the pains
to understand the subject at all, and
that the latter is so severe in its criti-
cisms that actresses and managers get
no encouragement from that source,

WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHDAY.
A Ball to be Given on that Date Under

The Christmas ball netted pub
lie school fund $50. The lady mana
gers of the fair held last week pre-
scented an equal amount to the
School Trustees. This makes 500 in
their hands to be expended on the
school-house; but before that struct-
ure can be made fit for holding school
in winter, it will have to be vain
scoted, lined and papered, at cost of
$3.50. In order to obtain the $50
that are still lacking, the Trustees
have determined to give ball on the
22d of February-W ashington's Birth
day-and have already secured the
Theater and band of music for that
date. The price Of tickets has not
yet been fixed, but it will be reasona-
bly, low, and will include the price of
a lunch which will be served in the
ballroom, SO that the dancers will not
be compelled to 60 out for supper and
run the risk Of catching their death of
cold.

il TO friend for collection. When the
piece of paper was presented to the pay
ing teller, that official first scratched
his chin and then went to see the Presi-
dent of the bank, who at that time was
Mr.. Boxer, father of Hon. George II.
Boxer. Mr.. Boxer came toward smil-
ingly and said that while Colonel For
ney had quite large sum Of money on
deposit in the bank the amount to his
credit was not equal to that called for
by the check, but still if Colonel Forney
would step down to the bank himself the
check would be honored. The friend
returned to the Press office in an indig.
nant frame of mind, and told Colonel
Forney that he had made him the bearer
of a check that had been dishonered, for
the reason that there was not sufficient
funds in the bank.
Some mistake, sir, some mistake"
replied the big-hearted editor. Il have
much more than that on deposit in the
- Bank and he uttered the name Of
familiar depository other than the Gil
rard.
But l did not go there replied the
friend in amazement. The check is
drawn on the Girard Bank"
MY! my" said Colonel Forney,
- did make such silly mistake? Why,
| have not a penny in the Girard Bank
| did not intend to send there
''Oh, yes, you have large deposit in
the Girard Bank answered the friend,
''but it was not sufficient TO meet thi.
check"
A mistake, sir; mistake, replied
the Colonel. Il have not penny
there" A visit was made TO the Girard
Bank, however, and Colonel Forney
found to his amazement that he was
much richer than he thought In the
same way, when the Longacres Bank
of Lancaster failed, Colonel Forney
iSund that he mad longtime deposit
there that he had known nothing of. 1t
was this Indifference in money matters
that exemplified probably as well as any
other trait the lavish disposition of the
man now mourned; lavish not only with
his wealth. but with the more precious
treasures of his heart.-PdiiddelphiI

Great Britain's possession of the Eock
of Gibraltar is 4 relic Of by-gone age.
Ii has for many generations been mon
ument of the least agreeable side of
European politics. Gibraltar is by
position u Spanish fortress. and its name
is synonym for impregnability Why.
then. shonld it be occupied by foreign
power? On no theory of fair PLAY can
the fact be accounted for; but not till
recently has British love of Justice
seen anything improper in it. Agita-
ton for the recovery of the fortress is
now in progress in Spain, and the En-
glish Radicals to certain extent SYM
pathize with it. Sentimentalism. how
ever, is not alone at the bottom of the
talk of surrender. Modern modes of
warfare are such that Gibraltar is not
Indispensable to British glory. Its har-
Dor is poor and is commanded BY the
guns Of other forts. No force could
take Gibraltar, il is admitted, but that
does not increase its importance to En-
gland, for at this day a rendezvous for
the Mediterranean fleet of ironclads is
of more Importance than land fort not
connected with good anchorage ground
for vessels of the class which compose
the British Navy. There is harbor on
the African coast suitable to recGve the
largest fleet of the largest men-of-war.
well-guarded by fortifications and ac-
cessibie to supplies from land. The
changes of fifty years in the art Of
war would make this port more than an
equivalent for Gibraltar. IL is not
strange that the moving spirit of Span
ish nationality calls for the recovery of
the historic fortress.

An Editer Who Was a Poor Financier.

Colonel Forney was supremacy and
cuiiousiy indifferent in moneyimatters.
One instance that strongly illustrates
this trait has caused many a hearty
laugh among his acquaintances. De-
spite the advice of many friends. among
them Pierce Butler, the husband of
Fanny kemhle. he determined to invest
= large sum of money in new enter
prise--arice cleaning machine, or some
thing OF that sort He felt financially
sble to do this by reason Of having made
sale of some Lake Superior property.
He filed ont check ON the Girard Bank

A STRANGE AFFAIR.
A Woman Murdered in the Streets
of Boston by an Unknown
Assassin
The Wretch Not Yet Cap
tured.
Bosroy. March :

BOsToN, March 4.
Mrs Harriet Bell. a respectable tailoress,
was murdered on Kirkland street near her
home. this A. NJ, BY an unknown assassin
Mrs. Bell left her house about . CLOCK 10
do an errand at a neighboring store she
was followed, on returning. BY man about
80 wears old, about six feet tall, medium
weight, gray stubble beard. He wore long.
blue overcoat. well dressed, and had appar-
entity been drinking, though not to excess
In front of Mrs. Bells house he ran up be-
hind her, spoke to her, and then stabbed her
in the throat She lived but two minutes.
She was heard to say TO the fellow just be-
fore the stabbng, Il don't know you. The
police expect TO capture the murderer.
1t seems that Allen c. Fairclough, the al
legged brother of Mrs. Bell, has been often &C
companied in his visits to her house by a
man whom he. Fairclough, had been heard
to call and who was known to number OF
Faircloughs friend as Josh" This man
has been commonly supposed to be Fair
clough's brother and has been known as
Joshua Farclough. He has been employed
as peddler for Allen Fully, and answers
the description given by eye witness prev
ous and subsequent to the murder, of the
person who followed the woman into the
doorway and escaped after the assault. Three
slsttis vi hiieH y. TdiiIiouSHs tiS ohiN iSia-
tives of his that are known, reside in Paw
tucket. r. l. An interview with one ofthem,
Mrs. Mary Brooks of Pawtucket, proved be-
yond a doubt that the only brother they have
is Allen; that they do not know Josh, " only
by hearsay: that he is known to have been
somewhat of dissolute character.
Mrs. Harriet Bell is no blood relation of
Fairclough. but he has been very intimate
with her for several years. The only mo-
tive, so far as is learnedfor the murder, is
that Mrs. Bell stood between some of her
relatives and some valuable property. and
even this motive is not satisfactorily estab-
lished.
Allen Fairclough is believed to be now in
New York City. He has heretofore while
there stopped at Crooks Hotel, but as that
building is now under repairs he is sup
posed to be in some boarding house in that
vicinity. The fact that the attention of two
officers was called to the murderer while he
was walking away from the scene of the
crime and that they failed to arrest him, sup
posing, as one of them said, that it was a
simple assault" eXcites much comment
They had the man in view five or ten min.
utes. These officers mentioned the matter tc
the officer in whose district the crime wa.
committed, and he upon repairing to the
house discovered that murder had beer
committed. But by this time the murderer
had escaped and though every effort wa,
made by the police he has not yet been cap
tured.

THE WESTERN FLOODS.
Helena, Arkansas, in Danger of Being
FlOOded.-The Mississippi River
Floods Still Extending.

HELENA, Ark, March I.
The situation last evening was alarming.
The levee broke above the city, Sunday even
ing, and the water is kept off from the city
by cross levee at Walker street. The rise
since Sunday evening was four and half
inches, and continues. If Walker street
levee breaks we shall be in bad condition.
A large force is at work, and the merchants
are putting their goods upon the shelves and
preparing for a general overflow. The back
waters are rising and cover the floors of
many buildings that did not suffer from the
last rise Shelby House has its first floor
covered by water four inches deep. Reports
from below continue of the most distressing
character. Two new breaks occurred Mon
day, and much more damage has to be- re-
ported. AT Apperson's and Fitzhughes places
the levee gave way, doing great damage.
These points are few miles below here, and
are plantations.
The rainfall during the last thrty-six hours
was nearly two inches. The Arkansas river
joins the rising, and the Mississippi rose one
inch Monday.
MEMPHIS, March :.
Captain Ed. Postal of Steamer Handicas-
tie, which arrived this morning, reports that
the back water from the Mississippi river ex-
tends up White River to Claredon. Ark, 135
miles from the mouth, and the entire country
intervening is under water which is two feet
higher than was ever known before great
loss of stock and damage to farming inter-
ests occurred throughout White River bot
tom. The river here continues stationary.
The following telegram was sent this morn
ing to Senators Harris and Jackson and Con-
gresham Moore at Washington:
The great suffering brought to our no.
tice by inhabitants of counties in Tennessee
bordering on the Mississippi river, occasoned
by the overflow, calls loudly for assistance
from the government. What Memphis has
done, or can DO will be inadequate
