genuine type.
Eight stormy Sabbaths in succession
have been rather discouraging to minis
tiers, and one could scarcely blame
them if tempted to preach an old ser
mon to the small congregations. The
Suffolk branch of the Woman's Board
of Foreign Missions held its quarterly
meeting last week, and although the
day was stormy, there was a good at
tendance. The annual meeting of the
Young Women's Christian association
showed what an excellent work it was
accomplishing.
The attendance at Joseph Cooks lee
lures Monday noon in fremont Temple
is simply astonishing. 1t appears to
be on the increase rather than the re-
verse, and it is necessary to be there IL
good season in order to secure seat al
all. 1t has been matter of conjecture
whether all the ladies as well as gen
tlemen could understand the deep the
illogical points and discussions evOlv-
ed. They certainly understand enough
to wish to be there every time.
There was very animated discus
sion in Mr.. Meredith's Bible class il
fremont Temple two weeks since OF
the distinction between lying and de
ceptiOn, Mr.. NJ. affirming that the lat

ces, but the former, never as, in time
of war, we deceive our enemies or, i
burglar enters your house with inten

hopes of friends in order to ensure the
recovery of his patients. Many di

Virgins Rises and Explains.

On Monday Virgins claimed his
prophecy had been literally fulfilled.
The highest tidal wave ever known at
Halifax, and kilograms he received
from all parts, he says, indicate Sc
we're tempest. He says he has always
entertained the greatest anxiety for
the safety of the people on the shores
of the bay of Bengal and the gulf of
Mexico. In the former, a major tidal
wave, of which the minor on our coast
was a reflection, must have occurred
on the afternoon of the 10th, London
time, hundreds of thousands of lives
perishing. He characterizes this storm
as the greatest that can possibly occur
on this planet, and the greatness of its
extent is the only hope of safety in any
particular quarter. He makes "a sly hit
ut the Canadian and United States au-
thOrities for not hoisting their storm
signals until after the storm was actu-
ally beating upon this continent. Some
people, he adds, expected an impossi-
BILE storm Sunday, but he repeatedly
said his object in making the predic-
ton was for the safety of mariners, as
no danger could possibly occur on the
land, except in the vicinity of places
named as being exposed to the tidal
wave; "but," he added, ''people like
to he frightened and cling to their OWL
Interpretation i'll preference to mine"

Death Of GOrtSchakOf. EX-
Chancellor of RUSSIA.

GOrtschakOtf was beyond question
the ablest diplOmatist of the century.
Coming into power as foreign minister
of Russia in 1856, he negotiated the
treaty of Paris, eXtricating his country
from the predicament in which she has
been placed by the result of the&Cri-
mean war. This, however, was at the
cost of Russian supremacy in the Black
Sea. But Gortschakoff taking advan-
tage of time when the Interested
powers could not help themselves,
broke the treaty of Paris and put Il
Russian fleet into the Black Sea. He
was also able to avert foreign interior
ence during the Polish insurrectiOn.
About his last public work was in ne
gotiating the treaty of Berlin in 1879,
by which Turkey was partitioned and
the results of the Turko- Russian wal
settled. Gortschakoff is chiefly inter
esting to Americans on account of his
friendship to this country. Russia 5
attitude during the American civil wal
was due almost wholly to the chancel-
| lOr, and he will always he held III
| friendly remembrance 10y the American
people on this account. 1t is not more
than two years since he retired to pri-
vate life on account of his age, after
public service of half Il century, twenty
| five years as foreign minister and nine
teen as chancellor of the empire. Hi,
venerable age and great public service,
ought to have been safeguards against
his enemies and passport to ii natu-
raj death. 1t seems they we're not
His death appears to have been has
tened by poison, whether administered
by Nihilists or others. 1t is but few
days since he was announced as dan
gerously i'll from the effects of phos
phorus which had been placed in hi'

Great Suffering from the Late
Western Floods.

A committee in charge of supplies
for sufferers on the Ohio river south of
Evansville report great suffering and
sickness in nearly all the river towns.
At New Franklin, Indiana, a village of
1900 inhabitants, 30 persons are desti-
tute and ID sick. There have been two
deaths from pneumonia. In Union
town, Kentucky, "A town of 1900 inhab-
itants, nearly everybody has suffered
In indianapolis there are 30 destitute
persons. In ShawneetOwn 1900 people
are destitute, depending on the public
for provisions and medicines. One
hundred and twenty-five are sick and
p have died of pneumonia, catarrhal
fever and dysentery. About 1875 hous-
es were swept away or damaged. At
Caseyville, Illinois, no relief has been
furnished. There are 45 cases of sick
ness, mostly typhoid fever. One death

with and he was severely handled for
his OtficiOusness. Seeing he was get
ting the worst of the encounter the
hackman yelled "police" and ran away.
A policeman happening along at that
time asked Mr.. Dale to accompany him
to the station house to explain the
matter. After recounting the incident
he was asked if he had any firearms,
when he at once produced a revolver,
unlOaded. He was then charged with
carrying concealed weapons. Bail in
the sum of 800 was demanded, and
furnished, and Mr.. Dale was allowed to
depart. When the case came up for
hearing no one appeared to enter a
complaint, and Mr.. Dale was accord
ingly released, profuse apologies being
rendered him on account of the incOn-
veniences and indignities he had been
subjected to.

Another Version Of the Dale Az
fair.

1t is now said that the facts connect
ed with Hon. George NJ. Dale's recent
arrest at st. Louis were as follows Mr..
Dale with his son Porter went to the
theatre as stated. He was not the
worse for liquor. He left the theatre
at the close OF the second act. When
he reached the street he was accosted
by hackman on the lookout for fare
and he declined the services of the
hackman. A second hackman here put
in an appearance and said that Mr..
Dale had hired him which Mr.. Dale
denied in language more forcible than
polite He then became importunate
and finally offensive, going so far as to
grapple with Mr.. Dale, but he soon
found he had the wrong man to deal

A Steamship Observation-Disclosures
Lives Lost.

The emigrant steamer Navarro bound
from Copenhagen for Leith with
eighty-one souls on board fOundered
last Wednesday two hundred miles out
from Christiansand, Norway, and six
ty-five lives were lost. Sixteen persons
were saved by Dutch fishing smacks,
of whom eleven have been landed at
Hull. among them n. Mannall, an en-
igratiOn agent of Brooklyn, and Messrs.
Anderson, Hagelberg, Nygren, Miss
Alexandra HOltz, and ii Swede bound
for Minnesota whose wife and four
children were lost. The survivors say
that the steamer was struck by Il heavy
sea and on Wednesday her cargo shift
ed and she began to sink. A fishing
smack being sighted ten men boarded
her in IA small boat and then let the
boat adrift. The smack sailed round
the sinking steamer, but having no
boat was unable to render her assis-
lance. The emigrants, in the mean
time, We're clinging to the rigging, the
sea washing over them. In IA short
time another smack arrived on the
scene and fifteen of the Navarre's men
tried to reach her in another boat but
it was swamped and all its occupants
were drowned. A steamer arrived at
the spot only in time to rescue six
persons who were struggling in the
water as the Navarro went down. Mr.
Mannall says he chung to a piece of
timber for forty-fve minutes before he
was picked up. The Navarre's pumps
were found useless and all Oh board
baled as much as they could. The cap

that i'm Cincinnati, Lomsyille, St.
