REMARKABLE NERVE.

For the lasting good of married men the
followi, 6 item from the Evansville Argus
is reproduced
The people of little town in Warrick
county have been hanging right over the
brink of fragrant church scandal, but
are not aware OF the fact, nor will they be
until this copy of the Argus reaches its
readers over there. Just before the close
of the services last Sunday good brother
walked forward to the pulpit, handed the
minister an announcement, as he thought,
and asked him to read it to the congrega-
tion before he dismissed them. Just be-
fore time was called on the doxology the
minister said
Brother Bramley has handed in the
following note, and in a clear voice he
read the note, which ran as follows:
Ny Own Pet Bran Are you never coming to see
me again 1 am dying to see my darling once more
and gaze into his beloved eyes. The old maInmy
that calls herself your wife will find 1t out.
How can you endure her. Come, darling, 10
who truly loves you. Your own and only
The good brother had handed in the
wrong announcement. At the close OF the
reading the minister looked horror. struck.
The congregation stared at Bramley with
cold, hard stares, and his wife rose up In
her seat and glared at him like tigress
He was equal to the occasion, however,
and, rising calmly and with a look Of per-
feet resignation on his face, he said
Brothers and sisters-It may appear
strange to you that 1 should ask our be-
loved pastor to read such terrible thing
as that from the pulpit, bat the best way
to fight the devil is to fight him boldly
face to face. The writer Of that vile note
ia unknown to me, but it is evidently some
depraved child of sin who is endeayoring
to besmirch my Christian reputation. |
shall use every endeavor to ferret out the
writer, and if discovered will fearlessly
proclaim her name, and hold her up to the
contempt of all good Christian people. "
He sat down amid the murmur Of approba-
tion and sympathy, and his wife wanted to
hug him right before the congregation.
That evening he told the writer Of the note
what had occurred, and remarked with
grin that it was the closest call he ever
had in his life.

TELgPHoNEs CAUSING DEAFNESS The
Fall River Ne'cs says: Several Of our
friends in this city have had their sense of
hearing diminished in one ear by constant
use of the telephone. Persons who use
this instrument are apt to apply the instru-
ment to the same ear every time, and the
consequence is the organ is overworked,
and lowly-approaching deafness in that
ear is sure to follow. Several parties in
this city who are affected by it, have ap.
piled to an eminent aurist in Boston, who
reports the cause to be az above described
He recommends that persona who use the
telephone apply the instrument alternately
to their right and left ears"

diers to Confederates during the war of
the rebellion, is said to have originated in
a taunting remark addressed to rebel
picket to the effect that the Southern

picket himself was no better than John
Bull, an accusation which was Indignantly

DIVINE RIGHT.
A term applied to describe the source OF
the power claimed for the monarch, by the
royalist party, in the great controversies
between the monarchical and parliamen.
tary or commonwealth parties in England
IN the seventeenth century. The monarch
was held to be the immediate represents
tive of the Deity, to whom alone he was
responsible for all his actions-a principle
winch, OF course, relieved him from
all human responsibility. The idea
was little known until the quiet
transfer Of the crown from the Tudor to
the Stewart dynasty showed that the
hereditary principle was strongly estab.
lished. 1t was found by some ecclesiastics
IN the doctrines of the civil law. which in
imitation OF the practice of Oriental ma.
tions, fattered the Roman Emperors bv
attrlbuting to them power founded on
aivlno institutions. Throughout long
and miserable contention divine right was
on the one side maintained to be the source
OF political power, while on the other it
was maintained that tina. power emanated
from the will of the people, expressed in
what was called "the social contract"
The chief writers on the side of divine
right were Salmasius and Sir Robert
filmer; on the other Milton, Alqerpon
Sydney and Harrington. The controversy
revived In the discussion which caused the
French Revolution, long after the settle.

THE MILLS OF THE GODS, ETC.
The line from the poem of Frederick
Won Logau, as translated by Longfellow,
Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind
exceeding small,
is from Greek proverb "The mills of
the gods grind late, but they grind all to
powder" 1t appears in one of the three
tragic poems. The notion was familiar
one to the heather mind, as is shown by
this other Greek proverb, "The feet of the
avenging deities are. shod with wool - as
also by Cesar's answer to the boasts of
Anovistus, Whom the gods would DESTROY
they first make mad" Herbert, in "Jacula
Prudendum," has
Gods mill grinds slow but sure
NOTHING VENTURE, NOTHING WIN.
This expression is found in Matthew
Henry's Commentary on Exodus" sec.
ond edition, 1907. The idea was purloined,
however, from Tusser's Five Hundred
Points of Good Husbandry." The correct
rendering of the quotation, as found
in "October's Abstract" tTuaser), is.

The Origin of Some Common Sayings
and Proverbial Sentences
Set Forth.

General Sherman was the author Of the
famous dispatch "Ho!d the fort, for l
am coming" and which has given name
to one of the most popular Sunday school
hymns ever composed. The message was
sent to General Corse, who was in posses
sion of the fort at Altoona besieged by
rebel troops. The laconic answer to Sher.
mans dispatch to - hold the fort, for 1 am
coming" has passed into history, if it has
not furnished theme, as did Old Tecum-
seh's order, for Sabbath.school hymn.
1t was in these words:
To General Sherman: am short cheek bone
and one ear, but can whip hell out of them yet.
GENERAL C0RSE.
Sherman's dispatches to the beleaguered
troops under the command of Corse could
only be read by the aid of telescopes. They
could neither be received the usual way
nor answered back, because the rebel shots
were so thick The enemy had also lot
of sharp shooters posted on every COM
manding point, and every time one of
Corses men would show himself they were
sure to pick him off. Shortly after the
receipt of Sherman's dispatch General Corse
demanded to know of the late Judge j. W.
Mckenzie, then Lieutenant in command
of the signal squad, if there was not way
of answering the message. The brave Off
Ger replied that it could be done if it was
absolutely necessary, and grasping the
signal flag he called for a volunteer from
the little squad to assist him. No one re-
sponded. At this moment of hesitation

to be shot. The flag was about eighteen
feet long, and the wind was blowing hard,
making it extremely laborious as well as
hazardous to wave the signals. At the
moment when Mckenzie was about to

signal corps, crept up behind the Lieuten-

From the Latin DONNA, mistress; a
title OF honor which long distinguished
high.born ladies from the wives OF citizens,
and OF the commonalty in general. In the
age OF chivalry it was customary even for a
queen to be 30 called by her chosen knight
('' the dame of his heart, OF his thoughts"
etc). In consequence of the greater cour-
tesy shown toward women of higher rank
arose the custom Of prefixing the word
"ma" to "dame," as a special proof ven-
Grafton and homage. Hence, too, the
Virgin mother was called in France
"Notre Dame rs Our Mistress" or lady,
as if no one Christian could exclusively
claim the privilege Of serving her with the
homage Of his heartJ. The daughters of
the King of France, az soon as they came
into the world, were called madame :"
and this vas also the sole title OF the
Kings eldest brother. In England the
word dame" though not much used, is
now applied to married women Of all
classes. " Madame is shortened into
MADAM" which is still word OF honor,
applicable, in particular cases; to majesty
itself. Thus, Alfred Tennyson, in dedi-
eating his poems to Queen Victoria, speaks
as a chiyalrous troubadour might have
done
