Is NOT prayer, believing prayer, essential
to success? A writer in one of the relig-
ious papers raises the question whether the
popular Interpretation of the incident in
Jewish history, when Moses hand up
held by Aaron and Hur gave victory to
the army under Joshua, is the correct one.
The general view taken, perhaps, makes
Aaron and Hur represent the church, their
UNFOLDING of his hands representing the
cordial cooperation and the prayers of
the church whereby the pastor is strength
ened for more successful toll. We confess
that this view of the matter has never been
satisfactory to our own mind, for, if Aaron
and Hur represent the church, who is rep
resented by the army? As the writer sug-
gests., it is not intended simply to teach
that effort without prayer will be fruitlsss!
When Noses hands were upheld, victory
came to Israel; when they fell YEARLY at
his side, defeat. Thus in any church, when
there is much praying, when the pastors
hands are thus upheld, victory comes.
TIE HARKM of Ismail Pasha, ex-khedive
of Egypt, is making no end of a stir in
Naples. The deposed khedive took only
seventy three of his women to Naples in
the first place, about one-fifth of HE Cairo
harem, and subsequently sent forty -seven
of these back to Egypt as a measure of re-
trenchment. When the Princess Haity,
one of his favorites, eloped with the
brother of her Italian music teacher, her
master bore his loss philosophically, but
now another, Elma Giulu, or "Apple Bios
son." has run away. She had been flirting
with Neopolitan jeweler for some time.
Her intrigue was discovered and she was
about to be shipped to Egypt. Her lover
came to the rescue, got her out of the pal
ace, but was stopped at the gate by a
eunich of the guard. The jeweler Crap

an assistant. During the drive to the
rendezvous appointed the perfidious
friend persuaded the damsel to marry him
instead of the jeweler. The latter was
fined fifty lire, or $40 for assaulting the

The story of the origin of of the plain
tive ballad 'Robin Adair,'' is of touchin g
interest. A paper on ''Song and Song
Writer'S was read on recent evening,
before the Long Island Historical society,
in Brooklyn, by Chief Justice Charles P.
DAILY. He said that of the great COM
posers of music, Handel excepted, had been
a great song writer, and Handel had said
that he would rather be the author of the
sweet Irish melody of 'Eileen Aroon,' -
now known as "Robin Affair."" than all
the other stories in the werld.
The speaker told a story of the
origin of "Robin Adair." A young
Irish physician of the name of Robin
Adair, walking to London, stopped at an
inn where there was q countess whose leg
had been broken by the overturning of a
stage coach. His proffered services were
accepted and he performed his work
SO skillfully that she insisted he
should not leave her. Ultimately she
took him to London and introduced
him to the best social circles. He became
enamored of an earl's daughter and taught
her to sing "Eileen Aroon." Afterward he
was parted from her by cruel fate. She
connected his name with the song, using it
for the refrain, and at length the song as
thus changed was picked up and carried
by celebrated tenor upon the English
stage, where it met with the same instan-
taneous SUCCESS as did ''Home, Sweet
Home" Justice DAILY said that the tune
of 'Auld Lang Syne' had its origin in a
Catholic vesper hymn; that 'Yankee Doc
die" was originally sword dance, and
that "John Anderson, My 10 john" and
"Cruiskeen Lawn" were the same tune
written in little different time. This
tune was that of an older song than either,
which ran, ''There was little man who
loved a little maid" and before that, in the
time of Queen Elizabeth, it was a dance.
