last year dispensed altogether with

of hungry strangers who only called

entities any person who calls at an
afternoon reception in an official

THE RIGHTS OF AN ENGAGED WOMAN

A Philadelphia court has recently
held in effect that declaration Of in
tention to marry a certain person
gives that person such an interest in
the properly of the other party that
subsequent conveyance Of the
property by gift to others before
marriage is in the nature Of fraud,
and will not be sustained by the
courts.
A widower, with children, told his
friends four years ago that he intend
ed to offer himself to a certain wo-
man. Before actually asking her
hand, but after making the above
announcement, he conveyed his real
estate, amounting to nearly $4,000.
to trustees to hold for himself and
offspring of his first marriage. This
was probably done not to defraud
the new wife, but to provide better
care for the property than he was
able to afford. He died about four
months after his marriage, and the
widow found herself deprived of her
expected "third." The court de-
cided that the conveyance Of his
property was void because it was in
compatible with the equities of his
relations with his prospective wife.

DREsDEN's SEA SERPENT.

The people of Dresden, Me-, were
greatly excited the other day by the
appearance of a sea-serpent in their
waters. The monster was discovered
by two fishermen who were down the
river in a, boats, as it was headed up
the river they took a short cut
and reached Dresden in advance.
The town people were quickly mott
fed Of the approach Of the terrible
visitor, and crowd speedily assem-
bled on the river banks, armed with
all sorts of weapons. The creatures
movements seemed quite rapid and
the excitement was intense. Don't

Historically exclaimed the females in
ono breath. "See him roll his eyes
and wink" and down goes his head,
and his body would almost disap-
pear only to reappear at short dis
lance. A volley Of shots greeted the
intruder, and everybody "saw him
kick" but no one dared investigate.
Finally couple of men, more daring
than the rest, made chase in a boat,
and overtaking him, discovered that
another wooden serpent had aston
ished the natives. The whole popu-
lation had seen in q rolling, half
sunken log tho glaring eyes and loll-
ing tongue of q marine leviathan, and
expended great amount of ammu-
niton in trying to kill him Bath

aoaMAND1z1Na AT RECEPTIONS,

Overeating and overdrinking at re-
ceptions and parties are among the
most common forms of ill-breeding,
and the way in which some 'swell''
people gorge themselves at the sup

Bank on the public estimation and conf
dence grows stronger. 1t has been fortu-
nate in the character of its administration,
having at it's head men in whom the bust

President the late Gov. Peter Ill. Burnett,
held it rigidly to the policy dictated by the
soundest and safest conservative prin-
ciples feeling sure that in time such
policy would gain recognition and
reward. In his successor-Dr. r. II.
McDonald-who still continues at its
head-it was equally fortunate. Neither
ever allowed the Bank to diverge into specu-
gains. They builded not for day, but fer the
years to come, and the stockholders are now

A REMARKABLE DEAL IN WHIST.

Yesterday afternoon, at the Culver
Club house, Clay Culbertson, Jerry
Kiersted, Alexander Starbuck, and
E..G. Webster entered into q game of
whist. After the first hand had been
played, Mr.. Webster, whose turn it
was to deal, took the cards, shuffled
them, and, after they had been cut
by MIR. Kiersted, death. Each play
er, as he arranged his cards, APP
peared to be laboring under some
Unusual excitement Mr.. Culbertson.
whose turn it was to play, and who
generally is very prompt in placing
his card on the table, delayed the
play until Mr.. Starbuck broke the
ominous silence which prevailed by
exclaimings Gentlemen, / have the
most remarkable whist hand l ever
held. hold thirteen hearts" Sand
l." remarked Mr.. Culbertson, "hold
equally as remarkable q hand. I
have thirteen spades" " And l."
nervously said MIR. Kiersted, shave
the thirteen diamonds" "Of course,
I hold the thirteen trumps," quickly
chimed in the dealer, Mr.. Webster.
To say the players were unduly ex-
cited at such an expose Of the hands
but feebly expressed their mental
condition at the time. The conversa-
ton that ensued relative to this I'M
expected event in whist among the
players and members, as they
dropped in during the afternoon,
was decidedly animated. No one had
ever heard Of holding such hands in
whist. A casesoccurred in B,ston
club q year or so ago where a player
held the thirteen thrumps, and also
similar case in New York club, but
aside from these two no one could re-
port seeing such hands as these.-Cin-

A RATTLESNAKE THAT SLEEPS ON A
CUSHION,

Prof. James Bell, the Smithsonian
Institutes agent, is source OF fire
quent and startling surprises to the
natives. The average rural Floridan
is not much afraid Of snakes encount
cred in the wild freedom of the
woods, where, if the reptile will not
run, the man can; but the professor
keeps his snakes in the room and
about the yard, in boxes and crates,
in manner at once carless, familiar
and appalling. A countryman called
upon Prof. Bell a short time since,
and was considerably discomposed
upon entering the room at seeing a
huge rattlesnake throw himself from
sofa pillow which, apparently for
his benefit, had been flung upon a
chair, fall with loud snap upon the
floor, glide into a corner, coil him
self up again, and, waving his head
to fro, begin the uncanny buzz of the
tail dreaded of woodsmen, while the
room became pervaded with the
heavy perfume of the reptiles
musk. Great jeeswaxp exclaimed
the astonished visitor. "Come
in; and sit down." cried
the cordial snake herder, hand
ing his visitor the chair just vacated
by the rattlesnake. "Don't mind
him; he is not used to strangers,
that's ALL" Then addressing the
still angry snake, he cried out in
tones of indignant remonstrance:
"Youl sub {! hush that fuss!' The
reptile hushed, but kept his weather
eye on the stranger and every time
the uneasy visitor moved the snake
gave warning buzz with the tail.
But the visit did not last long,

WHY HE DIDN'T EXPLAIN.

Some eight or ten years ago sill
very-tongued chap who claimed to
be fruit. tree agent swindled the
farmers of this county in shameful
manner, and one resident Of Nankin
was so mad about it that he came to
Detroit, searched the rascal out, and
gave him a pounding on the street.
After he got through his work he told
the fellow that he would lick him
twice as bad if he ever put eyes on
him again, and it was threat to be
remembered and nursed. About
three weeks ago the Nankin man was
travelling in Washtenaw county, and
as he journeyed along the highway
he met a traveller who SO closely re-
sembled the fruit-tree swindler that
he halted and called out, "Here you
are again, your bald faced rascalp'

THE MORAVIANS.

The followings light sketch of this
brotherhood is taken from work hy
DR. A. G. Thompson:
The Church of the United Breth-
rem, or United Fratrum, as the Mo
ravian Christians term themselves,
was founded about the middle of the
fifteenth century. At that time the
prescribed followers of Huss began
to call one another by the title of
brethren, but as that appellation
might suggest tie idea of a monas.
tic order it was afterward exchanged
for Unitas Fratrum, which name
was assumed on the occasion of a
formal union 0457-60) between Mo
ravians. Bohemians, and Waldeneses.
During the next century they were
exposed to intermittent but gradually
aggravated persecution, their condi-
ton being much the same as that
of the Vaudois in Piedmont and the
Camisards in southern France. At
the date of Luther's schism four
hundred Protestant churches. with a
membership of 100000, existed in
Bohemia and Moravia. A hundred
wears later nearly all of the evan
gelical pastors had boon expelled,
and at the peace of Westphalia
1859 the Protestant powers made
no effort to secure single stipula
ton favorable to their coreligionists
in Bohemia and Moravia, but aband-
oned them to the merciless intoler-
ance of Austria.
THE revival of the Moravian
brotherhood dates from 1922, when
Count Zinzendorf, Saxon noble, re-
ceived small number of Protestant
exiles from Moravla and Bohemia on
his estate at Herrnhut. Zinzendorf
became soon after member OF the
| fraternity, and in 1877 was ordained
a bishop of the Moravian Church.
| The brethren's episcopate, by the
| way, was received by them in 1875,
and is said to have come through a
small branch of the Waldensian
Church, which formerly existed in
Austria. 1t was during the first
twenty years of Zinzendorf's con-
nection with the Moravian revival
that the brotherhood became infected
with the spirit Of religious extrava-
gance-a morbid, mawkish, and
maudlin sentimentalism which ex
cited much prejudice, against
them, a prejudice, unhappily, which
exists to this day in many quar-
tiers, though the United Broth
rem have long ceased to deserve the
reproach of exaggerated and i'll di-
rected emotion. As matter of fact
Count Zinzendorf soon recovered
from the revival fever and devoted
himself to the organization of the
Moravian Church, which rapidly
multiplied the number of its COM
manities in Europe and its mission
airy stations in foreign parts. Within
two years, indeed, after Zinzendorf's
obtaining leave of absence from the
Saxon conft in order to give him
self entirely to the interests OF the
Unitas Fratrum, four important mis-
sionary movements were made by
the brethren on the Continent of
Europe, and the next year missions
to Laplani, Turkey, Ethiopia and
Greeland We're proposed. Yin
zendorf is appropriately called by
DR.. Thompson, the John Howard of
German evangelical effort, for nc
German, neither Grossner of Berlin
nor Harms of Johannesburg, has
sent forth missionaries to so many
countries"
