Wide-Awake g Pastors Vacation.


When Henry Ward Beecller started for
Oregon on his Summer vacation, he
took occasion to say word in defence
of the pastor who takes few weeks Of
recreation. He wanted it well under.
stood that the preacher who regularly
does his pulpit duty is entitled to this
hot weather rest; and, furthermore, that
il Is not only relief to himself, but an
advantage to his congregation. Much Of
the preachers success depends on the
freshness of his mind and the vigOr of
his body. A man who is found in his
pulpit tity-two Sundays in the year
may be both faithful and diligent. He is
also likely to be mOnotonous. There are
some ministers on whom perhaps, a sum
mer holiday is thrown away. They are
the plodding souls who never pick up
an idea except from the book, and
whom all :he novelty Of the most Z 'rge.
GUS scenery in creation could never in
spire with material for sparkling SER
mon. Let such men stay at home and
preach to the slender congregations that
will doze under their ministry. The
minister who takes Summer holiday
need not feel himself bound to preach
about his travels when he returns, al
though some men can do this to the
great editication Of their congregations.
The fact that they have travelled, have
enjoyed themselves, and have absorbed
much of the outside world, is of itself a
stimulus to their better work. They
can give it ont in any way they please,
but if they are bright men they are sure
to give it in such way that their hear
ers shall be- the better for it.

Preparing for the Plague.

WAsHINGToN, July 15-The report
that evidences Of cholera have been dis
covered in England give grave con
cern to government officials, and extra
ordinary measures will. be taken to
prevent it's introduction into this coun-
try. With the enormous emigration
which is brought in daily from Europe
by steerage it is feared that great diff
Guilty will be encountered in keeping it
out should the epidemic actually appear
in Europe.
The matter of quarantine is mainly
in the hands Of the State authorities,
but the Marine Hospital Service has
fund of $lO0, 900 to be applied to this
purpose, and DR.. Hamilton, the head Of
the bureau, has already very vigorous ap
pliances at work on the Southern coast
to avoid the introduction Of yellow
fever. Should it transpire that cholera
has appeared in England the same
measures will be taken TO prevent its in
PRODUCTION through our Eastern ports.
Owing to the lateness of the season less
uneasness is felt than before relative to
yellow fever, and the other matter can
receive almost undivided attention as
soon as developed in countre. with
which we have direct commerce. No
pains will be spared to avoid calamity
from this plague.

Death Of Tom Tn unAb.

MIDDLEBORO, Mass, July l5.-Chas.
Herwood Stratton, better known to the
public as Gen. Tom Thumb, died at his
residence here at 8. 4OO'clock this morn
ing, of apoplexy.
He had been slightly indisposed for
few days, but nothing serious was an
ticipated. The deceased was born In
Bridgeport, Conn, January 4, 1888,
and was consequently 45 years old. AT
the age of IA he entered the service of
p. r. Barnum, and has been before the
public ever since. He leaves widow,
who has been on the stage with him
since their marriage, in 1863. She was
the pretty and conspicuously petite La
vinia Warren, sister of the equally
pretty and still smaller Minnie Warren
10 whom the late Commodore NUT paid
devoted attention for long time, and
whom he afterwards married. Tom
Thumbs wedding in Grace Church,
New York, in 1868, was y famous event
and the ceremony was witnessed by a
distinguished crowd.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb travelled
all over America and together visited
England and the continent Of Europe,
where they received many favOrs and
attentions from potentatss and people
of rank. Tom Thumb acquired for
tune, but he was afterwards said tc
have lost a great part of 1t. Tom
Thumbs age performances consisted
of character songs and dances during
his early career, but when he became
tat and short Of breath in later years
he omitted the dancing and continued
the singing, in fact long after his voic'
had lost what little musical quality i
had ever possessed. He was very droll
and every adult of to-day can recall
his delight at the antics Of the LITTLE
dwarf, who, dressed in the feathere'
tinery of mammoth rooster, tioppet
his wings and crowed like the piping
OF Denny trumpet.
