Evangelist Barnes said to-day that
he might remain here a month, or
leave to morrow, as the matter was not
one of his own determination aud he
could not tell anything about his
future. So far there has been only
money enough raised to about pay the
expenses of himself and family at the

Concerning the value ofhis work, there

ing of his preaching in terms Of the
highest commendation, while others,
equally competent to judge, apparently
do not regard his work with favor. In
the evangelist's own sense Of the word.
his meetings have certainly been
highly successful, in that they have
been largely attended, and his audi
ences have been deeply affected. On
next Thursday his son, William c.,
who is twenty-five years old, will start
in company with y. G. Palmer, of this
city, on an evangelistic tour through
Eastern Tennessee, the region being
similar to that in which Mr.. Barnes
himself began his evangelistic work.
Mr.. Palmer, who is gifted with a fine
tenor voice, will conduct the singing.
Young Mr.. Barnes has had no expe-
rience in this kind Of work, but has
had a college education and special
instruction from his father on biblical
and religious matters, and is said to
share the latter's spirit Of religious
enthusiasm.

cellor Runyon, OF New Jersey, at the
instance of the Mutual Union Tele-
graph Company, to day granted an in
junction restraining the telegraph
company from making any discrimina-
ton in the telephone service rendered
to that company and to the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The com
panies operating telephones through
out the country have claimed that,
under the terms of their contracts
with the parent company owning the
patents, they could not permit any
telegraph company, excepting only
the Western Union, to receive mes
sages by telephone for further trans.
mission by telegraph. This has prac.
tically given the favored company a
monopoly of the telegraph wires for
the purpose, which monopoly will now
be destroyed.

WASHINGTON, September l9.-The
new Southern Telegraph Company, a

pleted its wires between Washington

morrow morning open for public bust
ness. The new lines arc constructed
in the most substantial manner,
totally different from the opposition
line heretofore constructed through
the South for speculative purposes.
The new company has gone in to stay.
AS rapidly as possible the new com
pany will extend its lines to Norfolk,
Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, At.
%lanta, Montgomery, Mobile, New
Orleans and all the principal cities Of
the South. A line will also be built
to conuect Louisville with the new

1t is very sad news that Mrs. Mel
vile, wife Of the engineer OF the Jean
nette, has been made insane by the
suspense and excitement occasioned
by the long absence and dangerous ad-
ventures of her husband and his re-
turn. His home was near Sharon
Hill, on the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad. On his
arrival Saturday night all the houses
but his own were illuminated, aud the
roads were spanned by evergreen
arches. A correspondent says:
The grounds around his cottage, a
rather large and handsome one, were
~unpenetrated by the crowd, and in
the doorway three little girls, the tall
est in the center, could be seen await
ing their fathers first kiss and EN-
brace. When Melville went away
Meta, the youngest, was a babe in
arms. Maud, the eldest, now about
fourteen years old, is a girl of great
promise, and although she was but a
child when he left her, she was almost
a young lady last night, and received
such admiration and attentions as few
young ladies do. Through the cheer
ing crowds hat lined the road Melville
came a march of joy end triumph
very different to the weary march over
the Siberian wastes, and at the gate
all stopped Melville went in alone.
and taking the three in his arms and
holding them for awhile to his heart,
was led by Maude to where her moth
er was awaiting him. Then the COM
mittees and delegations entered the
reception room, and soon Melville
came 10 proudly and j%oyfully, with his
wife leaning upon his arm in the
pleasure Of his presence and the CO.
c%ssion, Mrs. Melville made a striking
appearance, although the anxiety
through which she has passed has
worn upon her youthful and very
attractive appearance: She was plain
ly dressed in black, with her dark hair
combed in two waves across her fore.
head, after the old style. She cordially
welcomed all her husbands friends,
and especially Noros and NindermaRn,
the two sailors, whom he still kept at
his side.
In the room was a large picture OF

phies that Melville has brought from
past cruises in far off climes. STANDING
in the center of the room, with his
wife behind him, Melville received

Cleaning House.

Wv ANAA AANAAtAs
Among the many earthly customs
that are inexplicable is that which
most city people have adopted OF
cleaning house after they have come
home from the country. 1t would
appear that in the general u~pturning
incident to the spring departure. at
the time when discomtorts innumer
able are being endured with more
than usual calmness because there is
rest and comfort in the prospect, the
work OF putting a house in perfect
order for occupancy in autumn would
be comparatively easy. But nothing
Of the sort occurs. People hurry back
TO the city in September, and then,
instead of enjoying their homes to the
uttermost and thus reconciling them
selves TO the change from unalloyed
freedom aud rest, they begin to clean
house. Bedsteads are taken to pieces,
carpets torn up, painters, plumbers
and scrubbers come in; the cook, usu.
ally a new one, gives warning or grum
bles all the while; the meals are badly
cooked, because the range is not in
order, and they are not relished be-
cause the scent of soap and paint peri
vades the dining room. The parlor is
unavailable when old friends call to

The women Of the lower and middle

they hold to their own ways. Mr.. Writ

A middle-aged and thrifty couple were
OF one mind rs to their frugality and in

when the domestic storm had become
too severe for the husband to endure, he
shut himself up in the stable in order TO
escape his wife's tongue.
His intention was to remain there
alone until two o'clock in the morning,
when it would be time for him to start
with his horse and cart for the market
