New England Churches.

About the year 100, the meeting
houses in New England were plain
wooden structures, III most cases without
steeples. The windows were glazed with
diamond-shaped glass. the walls un-
plastered, and the interior without any
means of heating. Through the storms
of winter the congregation shivered in
the cold during public worship. About
hundred and fifty years ago, in the in
terror of one of these rough edifices
could be seen the families of New Eng
land. The men were dressed In the
fashion of the age. They wore broad
brimmed hats, turned up into three
corners, with loops at the side; long
coats, with large pockets and cuffs, and
without collars the buttons either plated
or pure silver, and of the size of half a
dollar; shirts with bosom and wrist ruff
fles, and with gold and silver buckles at
the wrist united by link; the neck
clotl4 of fine linen, or figured stuff, en-
broidered with the ends hanging loosely.
Small clothes were in fashion, and only
reached to the knee, where they were
ornamented with silver buckles of large
size; the legs were covered with long
gray stockings !; the boots had broad
tops, with tassels shoes were some
worn. ornamental with straps and silver
buckles. The women had black silk OF
satin bonnets, gowns extremely short
wasted, with tight sleeves, or else very
short sleeves, with an immense frill al
the elbow. The ministers wore large
gowns and powdered wigs.

Drunkenness In Germany.

FOR many centuries past the children
OF Ieutons have endured with placid
equanimity the SCOTS and jeers of their
nelghbors, whether of Latin or Slavonic
extraction, aimed at their beer drinking
procllvltles for they were hitherto COM
fortably convinced that the assisuous
consumption OF malt liquors was by no
means incompatible with high standard
OF national sobriety. On the other
hand, among Continental critics OF
British manners and customs none have
SO persistently denounced the practices
OF tlppling and dram drinking, as vices
peculiar to the natives of these isles,
than have German writer's, grave as well
as gay. The gin absorbing capacities
OF English operatives have aroused the
righteous wrath of many a Teatonic
journalist, in whose comments upon his
own countrymens amazing feats in the
way OF swallowing seven or eight gallons
OF ale at sitting, his readers might in
vain search for any expression of con-
demnation. 1t would appear. however,
that whether or not the Germans of
tines past were justified by facts in lay
ing claim to conspicuously sober
people, the Germans OF to-day are un-
questionably open to the same reproach
that they have been accustomed to lavish
in such profusion upon the Englishmen.
We learn from Berlin that SO enormous
has been the increase of excessive
drunkenness within the last few years
that the Imperial Chancellor has just
submitted TO the Federal Council bill
devised by him for the repression of a
habit which "has become q national
scandal" Hard times and cheap spirits
are terrible promoters of inebriety, and
it is more than probable that the severe
trials though which German agriculture,
commerce and industry have recently
passed, and the low prices at which corn
and potato brandy are purchssable
throughout the Fatherland, may have
brought about the deplorable prevalence

marck proposes to grapple by exceptional

A Bolt From a Clear Sky.

The Hawaiian earthquake OF 1887 is
described for the first time by an eye
witness, in Missionary Coan's new book.
On the 7th of November, 1887, at the
evening prayers, we were startled by
heavy thud and q sudden jar of the
;artll. The sound was like the fall OF
some vast body upon the beach, and in
few sec>, DIS the noise OF mingled voices
rising for a mile along the shore thrilled
US like the wHil of dos.m. Instantly this
was followed by a like wall from all the
native houses around us. | Immediately
ran down to TIE sea, where scene OF
wild ruin was spread out before me: the
sea, moved by an unseea hand, had, all
on a sudden, risen in gigantic wave,
and this wave, rushing in with the speed
of a racehorse, had fallen upon the
shore, sweeping everything not more
than fifteen or twenty feet above high
water into indiscriminate ruin. Houses,
furniture, fuel. timber, canoes, food,
clothing, everything foated wildly upon
the flood. About two hundred people,
from the old man and woman of three
score years and ten to the newborn in
fant, stripped of their earthly all, were
struggling in the tumultuous waves.
So sudden and unexpected was the
catastrophe that the people along the
shore were Ii ally "eating and drink
ing" and they knew not until the food
came and swept them all away" The
narbor was full of strugglers calling for
help, while frantic parents and children,
wives and husbands ran to and fro along
the beach seeking for their lost ones. As
/ q q tap-v t,n
strugglers were brought near the shore,
where the more vigorous landed with
desperate efforts and the weaker and ex-
hausted were carried back upon the re-
treating wave, some to sink and rise no
more till the noise of judgment wakes
them.

to hear later in the term. The yer.
