Blaine of Maine.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-There are
reports here that Blaine has had a
run of bad luck in Wall street The
leasing of his house causes much
comment When Blaine began to
build it, he expected to be premier of
an eight years administration. He
found himself a private citizen and
prospcctively retired politician.
The true reason on his Blaine's part is
generally believed to be that the
democrats are coming mtopower; and
he viii pass out of the public eye as
new men and new ideas come TO the
front

Accidents TO an Imperial Family.

4 whole series Of unlucky accidents
have befallen the Austrian imperial
family. Just as the Empress Eliza
beth was passing on horseback over
small bridge, which spans torrent
in the Ttyrian Alps, near Murzsteg,
plank gave way under her horses
hcof. The animal stumbled and threw
his rider over his head. On the very
same day, at the same hour, Archduke
William, brother of Archduke Albert,
while experimenting the cavalry ex
ercises at the camp If Bruck, was
taken Ill and fell in dead faint off
his horse; and at the same moment
the Archduchess Clotilda, wife of
Archduke Joseph, who had been to
visit a girls school near Buda- Pesth,
having Just stepped out of the house,
accompanied By the young girls,
heard frightful noise behind her.
She turned, and found that the roof
Of the school-room had Just fallen in !
WHAT Interpretation viii superstitious
people place upon these condolences?
Mine would be that the Archduchess
Clotilda is luckier than her relatives.

Many fisherman has, no doubt,
felt the deadly grip of the octopus
upon his arm or his leg, but once oHt
of his clutches he experiences only n
numb pain for few hours and thinks
no more about it. Not long ago, how

of its embraces. The boy, who was
about IA years of age, was fishing At

Japan, when huge cuttle-tish stretch

PITTSBURGH S WANTS.

WASHINGTON, Oct "A delegation
from Pittsburg called on the secre-
tary of the treasury this forenoon to
urge that the public building now in
construction in that city, be com
pleted in accordance with the pro
vision for the extension en-
bodied in the original plan.
They ask that the work be
suspended on the building until
they have an opportunity to urge
congress the advisabity of providing
an increased appropriation, 50 that the
building may be extended. Accord
ing to the plan on which the building
is now being constructed, it would
cost about $3.50, 600. An additional
$50, 600 would be needed to make the
extension regarded as necessary.

FOREIGN CHURCH NEWS.

"A speck of rebellion in the English
Presbyterian Church Rev. w. Rigby Murray
writes that he has accustomed the congregation
to which he ministers to chant the Psalms OF
David as found in the Bible, and adds in a
somewhat defiant tone, that after the lapse of
nine years only the strong hand of Synod, and
perhaps not even that, could not nut 1t dorm. -
The chanting of the prose Psalms was advocated
many years ago in this country by DR. Archibald
Alexander.
"A writer in the Scottish ReUie,O con-
tends that the Broad-church School does not

Though the resolution was crowded out by the

The Dean Of Peterborough, one of
the English Company of Revisers Of the Old
Testament, in a recent address, referring to the
revision said there was number of little ques
tons cropping up which could not be decided
at once, and were reserved for further considera-
ton. One of these was, whether they were to
render the sacred name Of God in the Old Tee
lament by " Jehovah" or Lord" That aues-
ton gave them great deal Of anxiety, and was
not yet decided. Questions Of that sort they
were obliged to reserve, because if any altera-
ton was made, the change though it might be
desirable one, would be 30 great and impor-
tant that they ought to be very careful to con-
slider it, and not do it hastily by bare MAORI
ty. When they looked at the revision of the
New Testament they would find that not only
were there great many changes in the transs-
ton but they would find that many verses had
disappeared altogether. They would not find it
so in the Old Testament.
