The Dunkers.

The Dunkers,a sect whose doctrines
and habits of life are similar to those
of the Mennonites, derive theiI
name from German word
descriptive of their mode of baptism
by immersion, but they are called by
themselves "Brethern." They came
to America between 17l9 and 1923
from Germany, whence they were
driven by religious persecution, and
first settled in Pennsylvania, where
they are still more numerous than il
any other State. Like the Friends
they practice extreme simplicity in
dress and speech. They have love
fcasts, practice he washing Of feet, the
laying on of hands, amounting with
oil, use the kiss Of charity, and Other
habits of worship. Owing to theiI
aversion of statistics which they re-
gard as savoring pride, it is not easy
to obtain trustworthy accounts OF
their number, but it is estimated t.
be about 100000. They have Bishops,
elders, teachers and deacons, are OPP
posed to war, and will not engage il
lawsuits.

A Robber Rat.

About two years ago Mrs.
Schultz, residing on Ellis street, Leav-
enworth, lost from her jewel case an
unset diamond of considerable value.
A Chinese domestic in her employ
was arrested on suspicion of having
stolen the jewel. The pagan
strongly protested his innocence, and
for lack of evidence he was discharg-
ed from custody. Mrs. Schultz aban-
doned all hopes of ever seeing the lost
stone again, and the matter was for
gotten. The strange part of the sto-
ry occurred a few nights ago. The
family had retired for the night, when
they were disturbed by large,
scratching noise in the bathroom, as
if some one were at work cutting
through the windows. The male por-
ton of the household were aroused,
and, armed to the teeth, they prepar-
ed to march on what they supposed
to be burglars. The bathroom was
cautiously opened and sickly glare
OF light passed over the apartment.
1t was strong enough, however to dis
close to the searchers, not a robber, but
hugh rat, which had in some man.

vainly endeavoring to climb out over
the slippery zinc-lined sides. The
scratching of his claws against the
metal made the noise that had awak-

Scotch terrier, was called in to dis

him. In killing the rat the dog man.

The faucet was turned on to clean out

Swapping a Jackass for a $4,000
Lot.


Henry Clay once owned
the lot adjoining the White
House, in Washington, and
Commodore John Rogers wanted it
but the old Wing persistently &c.
fused to dispose of it. On his return
from the Mediterranean the commo-
dore brought in one of his vessels a
fine Andalusian jackass, which Clay
wanted for his Kentucky stock farm.
All his offers were rejected, until one
day the commodore said in a joke,
"You can have him for your lot oppo-
site the White House." "Done," was
Clay's reply, and the animal was
shipped off to Kentucky. The COM
nodore build the now historic house
which Secretary Seward occupied
during the was. Here Payne endeav.
ored to assassinate him on the night

Wounded by Her Wedding Ring
Montreal, Canada Witness.

A somewhat singular accident oc-
CURED this morning As middle
aged widow from the country was
alighting from sleigh on Notre
Dame street her foot slipped on the
ice, and falling, her gold wedding
ring cut into her finger to the bone.
The ring was old and had worn rath-
er sharp on the edge. The subject of
the unusual mishap went to the No
tire Dame hospital, where the ring
was filed off and the wound dressed.
She said she felt more pain of heart
than pain of finger, believing it to be
an omen that she would not succeed
in getting another husband, on which
she was naturally more or less intent

VOL. XVIII.-NO. 45.

Kitty, and frankly gave them statement
of his wealth. At first Peter could hardly
believe that he had heard Alright; while, as
for Kitty, she could not comprehend the
vastness of the sum; but they finally knew
this: They were to be Roberts chosen
companions thenceforth; to fear the wolf
they and their little ones-no more forever.
Robert went to New York, where he
engaged an agent-who was to work in his
own name-to come to Belmont and pur-
chase every piece Of property that the
Speed Brothers had to sell.
There was great wonderment when it
was known that stranger had purchased
all the Speed property; and that wonder
ment was increased tenfold when a week
later, it became known that Robert Ash
worth was the purchaser, and that the pa
latial mansion of Nathan Speed had been
decided to his half-brother, Peter.
Aye, and more still; to Peter Speed, and
to Peters wife and children, had been duly
made over all the mills, and houses, and
lands, clear of all encumbrance, formerly
belonging to the brothers aforesaid.
But who shall tell the feelings of Ma
than and Thomas, when it came to them
that the poor wayfarer-the brown-faced
cousin-whom they had SO harshly turned
from their doors, was the "power behind
the throne" that had furnished all the
money? O! the torture of their vain re-
gret and deep chagrin was terrible. But
that was not the worst. The worst came
when Nathan's wife was brought to the
need of applying to cousin Robert for help.
The crowning joy was yet to come-a
iov of which Robert Ashworth had often
dreamed; but which he had never dared to
promise himself After Peter and Kitty
had moved into the great house, Kitty s
sister Mary came to visit them. Polly was
the name by which she was always called
She was two years older than her sister
possessing the same sweet face, and loving,
heart. Robert fell desperately in love at
sight, and she very soon loved him in re-
turn. When she came to wind her arms
around his neck, and nestle fondly and con-
fidingly upon his bosom, he knew that ii
was himself she loved, and his cup of JOY
was full to the brim.
