Trinity Episcopal church in Chicago Is
having bit of time because Pastor
Holland has resigned and is going to
New Orleans. The church has been
prosperous under DIR. Hollands admin.
istration, and one of the vestrymen
states the reason for his departure thus
swell, the truth is, the church wants h
clerical dude. About 200 out of Yf
members are firm friends and stanch
supporters Of DR.. Holland. The other
would be insignificant, bat, alas! possess
the wealth. In strict vernacular they
have got the money and will insist upon

The area of the growing crop of oats 10
Illinois is larger than that of 1882, when
the largest crop ever produced in the
state was grown. The area devoted to

The extremely popular American
practice of adulteration does not meet
with general encouragement from the
law in England. For selling half q
pint mixture of 48 per cent. water and
81 per cent. milk as the pure and genu'
inc article, a London milkman was fined
$50 and treated besides to lecture from
the Judge on the Nervousness of his Of
tense. The London papers mention
the case as an exceptional one, and
mildly hint that there is something after
all, in the tradition that between milk
man and pump there is an affinity
stronger than words Can tell.
The fear of mysterious explosives has
reached Constantinople, where, accord
ing to the Turgue newspaper, the patri'
arch Enfiedian received recently box
of bottles supposed to indicate conspi-
racy, if not assassination. When ex-
element was at its height a merchant
by the name of Enfedjan inquired
whether or not sample of bottles had
been received; he needed them, as he
proposed to put new wine into bran
new bottles. The vest column of patri'
archs, bishops, and archbishops in Con-
stantinople is satisfied with the expla-
nation.
A man who was cutting turf on Nun
Joy Hill, Portland, Me-, few days ago
turned up with his spade metal bar
which, except for a glistening point
where the spade struck it, looked like
iron. The suspicious CLEAN caught hie
eve and induced him to carry the bar to
an assayer, who pronounced it fine gold.
and estimated its value at $500. The
discoverer coniectures that the ingot

it's capture, or by some freebooter who
had helped to plumber a Spanish trea-
sure-ship.
Professor Wright of Oberlin has lately
been investigating anew the signs of the
glacial period in America, and finds that
the great sheet of ice must have covered
the territory between its northern limit
at Allegany County, New York, south
west through Pennsylvania, entering
Ohio few miles north of the Ohio
River, which it crossed on the line be-
tween Campbell and Pendleton coun-
ties, KY, and recrossed near the south
ern boundary of Dearborn county Ind.
All this territory bears marks of glacial
action, and Is dotted all over with bould-
ers, which now lie hundreds of miles
south of their source. When the glacier
extended across the Ohio 1t must have
formed a dam from 500 to 600 feet high
