FAMILY RELIGION.
Resolved, That we urge upon heads Of
families the observance of regular family
prayer-morning and night. The practice
Of daily Bible reading, and the setting apart

A more strict observance Of the sabbath
as the palladium OF morals and religion
that they abstain from unnecessary work,
and from secular visiting on the Sabbath.

SLEEPING car ADVENTURE.

Mistaken for a Minstrel
Troupe.

WASHINGTON, December 25.-The
Republican has the following: The
Congressional committee who we're
designated to attend the obsequies of
the late Hon. Godlove S. Orth we're
subjected to some queer experiences
on their return trip. After the con-
clusion Of the funeral ceremonies at
Lafayette, Ind, the committee pro.
ceeded to the railway station and em-
barked on a chartered Pullman car
for the Capital. The able Deputy
Sergeant-at- Arms in charge realized
that the band of Solons whom he
c%haperoned were seriously fatieued
aud directed the mental Of the "ffty
cents all around" stripe who shook up
the hunks chat when the party reached
Washington the sleeper was to be
shifted on a side track and its inmates
allowed to indulge in sweet dreams
until the raveled sleeve Of care" had
been sufficiently knit up to warrant
their tackling a matutinal cocktail
and a late breakfast, and the Civil
Service Reform Bill. The colored
porter evidently neglected to connect
with the gold laced bedecked CON
ductor, and on Saturday morning.
when the train rolled into the Sixth
street depot, this latter Official or.
dered the committees car to be con
tinued in the train to Baltimore. The
Deputy Sergeant at arms, who, in view
Of his responsibilities, was up very
early, was Mortified at the change OF
programme, and went for the conduo.
tor in strong terms. Their converse.
ton was carried on in the aisle Of the
Pullman, and concluded about as
follows: .
you cannot carry this car to Bal.
timore; II has been especially charter
ed for Washington
oh, dry upl" exclaimed the con
ductor; Il know all about il, and the
runner from the Eutaw House has
taken charge OF your baggage"
But" protested the Houston
official, you are dead wrong. | have
conferred with all OF our party, aud
We want to stop here, Of course. You
don't know what you are doing-in
fact, you have neglected your duty and
have not even taken up our tickets
"You are mistaken exclaimed the
conductor, as he fumbled in his
po~cketbook, II have all the tickets for
this minstrel troupe, and you 20
through to Baltimore"
HI" exclaimed a prominent
member of the committee, who shsd
walked up during the conversation and
stuck his bald head thTcsgh the cur
tain Of his birth. 'This is moi a
minstrel troupe; we are q Congressional
Committee just back !.om a burying
excursion"
The conductor collapsed, and the
car vent on the siding without further
debate.

New York Tribune.
Major Eaton, the President of the
Edison Light Company, was asked
yesterday what his company thought
Of the plan proposed by the Brush
company to use storage batteries in
connection with an arc light current.
The public said Major Eaton, do
not distinguish between different sys.
TENS of lighting. The Edison system
was invented to supplant gas for
domestic lighting, and was made abso.
lutely safe 50 as TO be free from danger
in houses. For that purpose Mr..
Edison adopted a low pressure cur
rent and carries it under ground.
The Brush aud other arc light
systems were developed for a different
purpose, principally that of street
lighting. They use currents of hiph
pressure and carry them over aerial
wires. 1t is now proposed to intro
duoe these high pressure currents
into houses to feed storage batteries
This high pressure current used by
the arc lights and proposed to be used
in houses for storage batteries has a
pressure Of 1000 volts, which means
instant death to any one who toucheg
the wires. The Edison current has a
pressure Of only 100 volts, about one
twentieth Of the ara light and storage
battery current, and the Edison wires
can be handled with entire safety like
wood, and give no shock whatever.
We believe that no current should be
introduced into a house which is strong
enough 10 kill, and Mr. Edison has Der.
fected his system accordingly. We
shall be sorry to sec the death current
Of the arc light circuit used TO supply
storage batteries 10 houses, because
the danger and deaths sure TO follow
will iniure all systems of electric
lighting for domestic purposes. ospt-
cially our own. The public will not
discriminate. They do not know that
electric currents differ in intensity
and danger. So long as the death
currents Of the arc lights arc used
eEiy for street lighting, the danger of
death is limited to th6workmen OF the
arc light company and 10 iremen In
case Of fires. But when this death
