An old negro professed to be Indifferent
as to future state, believing that ''deyU ,
make niggers work chen in heaben." A |

of what is called the Vinegar Bible. 1t

DIR. Bernardo is one of the most active
and successful city missionaries in Lon
don. His mission is to the most degraded,
and he depends on voluntary contributions
for the means with which to carry it on.
| Recently he was much in need of funds A
lady who was an entire stranger to him

mission, and she was so we'll satisfied with
what she learned about it that she gave
him three e1,OOc Bank of England notes
$4,000. She declined to give her

The other day there was seen in London,
for the first time. the Blue Ribbon, the en-
blem of the teetotaller, worn side by side
with the token of the wearer's adherence
to the Roman Catholic religion. Cardinal
Manning has sanctioned the Blue Ribbon
army by accepting position in its ranks
by the side of the Rev. Newman Hall. In
doing so he writes to give his adhesion,
because ''he considers every good cause
tending to draw the human soul from
light to darkness as the work of no partic
ular creed, but of God himself.
The courage of an English preacher was
recently displayed in the midst of an open
air service. Mr.. Vivian Dodgson, candi-
date for orders in the Episcopal church;
was preaching to crowd of men and
children upon the beach at an English
watering place, when loud cries for help
were heard from the sea, where boat con-

all were struggling for their lives. With
out a moments hesitation, with an unfn-

the preacher rushed into the water and
swan out to the drowning creatures and
saved them.
A London correspondent writes: Pen
sions of $4,000 year. or lump sum of
S25O.OO0 each, were offered to Sir Garnet
Wolseley and Sir Beauchamp Seymour.
They chose the latter, which indicates that
the available rate of interest over here is
not bad, and that life insurance in its
practical aspect is understood by the war
Office. Sir Garnet's title is not yet an

accepted peerage. while, on the other
hand. the admiral has declined one.
Taking the entire product of the paint
er's art, the work most widely known is.
without doubt, ''The Last Supper" by LIE
nardo de Vinci. Certainly no picture has
been reproduced by engraving to the like
extent. 1t is perhaps not asserting too
much to say there are few within the limits
of civilization under whose observation. in
some form or other, it has not faller
This, the most popular of pictures, is held
by painters and professors of art to en-

But few years have passed since the
name of that cratic genius, George Francis
Train. was familiar one throughout the
country, and now nine out of the ten per-
sons who ever think of him at all suppose
him dead. He makes, however, one of the
oldest and most melancholy sights in New
York, as he sits, day after day, in the same
seat in Madison square and plays with the
children. Strangers often stop and stare
at the old man, but he does not resent it.
He has not spoken for two years, but holds
communication with those who address
him by means of tablet. Occasionally
he writes postal cards to the papers, his
hobby being psychology.
The startling statement is made by the
public land commissioner chat (exclus-
i've of certain lands in southern states) of
lands over which the survey and disposition
laws had been extended, lying in the west.
the United States did not own of arabic
agricultural public lands, which could be
