Raising Church Funds.

AS means Of raising money
for the completion Of the new So
cialistic Church OF Humanity in
Brooklyn, the managers for sever
al Sundays have been giving a
ticket for each 5 cents contributed,
which ticket was exchangeabe for
a glass of beer when presented at
counter erected within the
"church." A large sum was con-
tributed last Sunday, great num-
Der of tickets were given out and
presented, and an enormous guam
lity of beer was consumed on the
premises. A band was in attend
ance, and performed number OF

Juvenile TranlIls.

One day last week two little
children, aged about seven and
xix years, respectively. put in an
appearance in Sharpsburg and
were kindly cared for by several
citizens. They stayed one night
with James Snyder, one night
with Henry T. Neikirk and one
night with j. G. Wilson, who, at
Ter giving them something 10
help them along, told them they
must leave town, which they did.
The account they gave of them
selves was remarkable. They said
taey lived in Williamsport, that
their father was blind, and that
their mother drove father and
children from home. sold their
property and declared she would
lake care OF herself only. They
then went 10 Georgetown on a
canal boat and returned as far as
Sharpsburg where they stopped.
The elder OF the two boys was de.
cidedly precocious for one of his
years. He acted and talked like
a man, used a pipe, and his pock-

ragged, the children were rather
bright and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

when we contemplate the many
encounters and difficulties that he
underwent during the week, we
are led to believe that he escorted
some of the defeated up Salt River

port. We can sympathize with
him, as we were sadly disappoint-

An Old Soldiers Career.
From an Exchange.

Seldom is there recorded a more
eventful life story than that of Skar-
beck de Malczewski, whose death at
the age of one hundred years has just
been announced at Warsaw. He en-
tered the Prussian army in his
youth, and was made a prisoner by
the French at Jena, when he at onee
changed his flag, joined Dombiow-
skis corps and fought so well at Ey-
lau as to receive high decoration
at the close Of the battle. At Ha-
nau he was badly wounded. He &C
companied Napoleon Bonaparte to
Elba, and came away from there
with him, going to Italy as orderly
officer to King Joachim Murat. At
Gaeta the English captured him and
handed him over TO the AustrlanS,
from whom he escaped in time to
join Bonaparte at Waterloo, where
he was again seriously wounded.
Under the Cars proclamation of
amnesty he went back to Poland, en-
tered the Russian army and rose to a
high rank (; but when the Polish IN
surrection of 1880 broke out he join
ed it, fought desperately, was wound
ed, captured and sent to Siberia for
life. After spending half a century
in penal exile he was pardoned, and
returned to his native city to die.

A Terrible Tragedy.

A dispatch from Knoxville,
Tenn, announces that terrible
shooting ARRAY took place there
Thursday, the 10Th inst, resulting
in the shooting and death of Ma
jor Thomas OConnor, Gen, James
A. Mabry, ST., and James A. Ma
bry, Jr. From details received it
is believed that Mabry, ST., be-
came involved in a quarrel with
O'Connor, during the progress of
which Mabry, Jr., attempted to
defend his father, and in the melee
all three were killed. Gen. Ma
bry and Major O'Connor are said
TO have been conspicuous for gall
lantry in the Confederate army,
and are well known in Tennessee
and Virginia. General Mabry had
about thirty buckshot in his body.
A bystander was painfully wounds
ed in the thigh and another
wounded in the arm. Four other
men had their clothes pierced by
buckshot. The affair caused great
excitement and Gay street was
thronged with thousands of peo-
pie. General Mabry and his SON
Joe were acquitted a few days ago
of the murder of Moses Lusby and
Dan Lusby, father and son, whom
they killed some weeks ago. VIII
Mabry was killed by Dan Lusby
last Christmas. Major Thomas
O'Connor was the wealthiest man
in the State.

when a person died the church bell
tolled once for every year the de-
parted had lived. But from the
tolling of the bell no one could tell
whether the deceased was man or
woman, To satisfy public curios-
ity, perhaps. on that subject, the
sexton, after tolllng the age, gave
eight quick strokes of the bell if
the deceased was a woman and
nine if it was man, and these
quick strokes at the end of the
toIling were called callers be-
cause they were at the tail end of
the whole business. Hence the
proverb, mine tailors make @
