A CHURCH SENSATION.
a Minister Interrupted While at Prayer by
tho Attempt of his Div reed wife To- Drag
his Daughter from a Pew.

a Minister interrupted While at Prayer by
the Attempt of his Div reed wife to Drag
his Daughter from IA Pew.
While the congregation Of the Baptist
church in Sodies, New York, were en-
gagged in prayer with their pastor, just be-
fore preaching service, on n recent Sunday
evening, they were startled from their de-
won't attitude by the shrill cry of q child's
voice enchanting: no, I can't 90 back; no,
/ can't 90 back. Papa, help mel" The
pastor, the Rev. II. c. Bates, recognized
the voice MS his daughters. He abruptly
closed his prayer and started down the
aisle. BY this time the whole congregation
were on their feet to see the cause of
the disturbance. They saw Mrs.
Bates, the divorced wife of the minister,
with her bands on her little daughter, ageo
eleven, trying to drag h II out of the pew.
Mr.. Bates pushed the woman aside, ard,
taking his child Ivy the hand, led her into
the pulpit and placed her in a chair, at the
same time begging Mrs. Bates to be quiet
and leave the church. The excited wo-
man, however. rushed toward the pulpit
and sp.ang at Mr.. Bates, seized his sermon
and other papers in his hand and attempt
ed to strike him. He called on a constable
who was present TO arrest her, warning him
that she might be armed. as she had threat
eneG to kill him. The officer sent for hand
cuffs. Mr. Bates was granted an absolute
divorce from his wife January IL, 1880, and
was awarded the custody of the children.
Mrs. Bates lives in Chicago, but came east
for the purpose of obtaining possession of
the children. On the night Of the disturb
ance she and Mrs. Sands procured a car
riage and drove by the parsonage, expect
ing to see the children there, but the hour
for service having arrived the FANNY were
gone. Then they drove over to the church
and engaged q man to hold the horse while
they vent in. Mr.. Bates claims that when
she had the children with her in Chicago,
she was bringing them up to vicious ways.
She seems 10 be q very violent woman, and
Ma. Bates apprehends much trouble
from her. The affair has caused much
talk in the community, but public SYM
pathy is with Mr.. Bates.

PEN Portrait of Holmes.

DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes was visited
last year by Lady Hardy, who saws of the
genial Doctor and author in her new book:
HE is neithertall nor short, but Of medium
height; q thin, wiry man, with iron gray
hair, and eyes twinkling with hnmor and
philosophy. Age ms not dimmed their
luster, noritaken the spring from his elastic
spirit; he is as brisk in his movements as
many a mar of %. Mrs. Holmes, q gentle
hammered lady, just the wife necessary fer
such a man-one who would make his home
a harbor of rest and peace-came cut to
meet and welcome us. We were presently
joined by his daugbter--a brilliant young
widow, a femenine edition of himself. I
wish / could reproduce his spirited, quaint
" turned phrases and quick repartee, to
which the expression of his face gave adj
ditional point and high flavor. ] think the
most dry-as-dust doctrine would quicken
into life if passed through the aleAlbic of
his sparkling philosophy. We retired to
lunch in a pretty parlor looking out into
the flower garden, where the bees were
droning and the tall lilies aud roses nod
ding sleepily in the sunshine. He after
ward read to us some scraps OF his new
poems, which was great treat to us, for he
has q melodious voice, and reads with
great emphasis and spirit"

-Four days after his escape from the cas-
tie the scoat found himself out Of funds,
and while in the corridor Of the postofice
he was again arrested. This tine he drew
his mouth TO the right, brought a squirt to
his LETT eye and pretended TO be very deaf.
He was, however, taken to the castle and
there a wonderful thing occurred. Guards
who knew Hancock's face perfectly well
were so confused by his squint that no
man dared give a certain ans wer. Prison
ers who had been with him for four months
were equally at fault, ana it was finally de-
cided TO lock MIN up and investigate his
references. For seven long days the scout
kept his mouth skewed around and his eye
on the squirt, and thsn he got tired of it
and resumed his accustomed phiz. The
inmate he did this he was recognized by
everybody, and the c~onfederates admired
his nerve aud perseverance fully as much
MS did his fellow-prisoners. The close of
the war gave him his liberty with the rest,
but ten days longer would have seen him
shot as a spv.

Unknown Liar OF the New Orleans Times.
General Sherman wept the other day,

that internal melody over three million
times2 They have socked it to me from

actress OF Bernhardts company, did not
regard him as comic. Quite on the con-
trary, she fell in love with him, and he fell
in love with her. However, this new recip-
procity of hearts was kept hidden until
rear the end of the jou. ney.
Then it came out through
Sudden Johnny careiessly kissing Colom-
bier too loud in a thin p~artitioned
dressing room. The smack was heard by
Bernhardt. / don't imagine that she cared
much for Johnny, II would hays missed
him from the ranks of her favored adj
mirers; but it made he- Just as mad as she
could stick 10 lose him to Colombier
Now Colombier's beauty was marred by q
DETECTION of her nose to one side. That's
not much, for the chances are ten to one
that the sides OF your WI face don't exactly
agree. Try q glass critically, and see.
Well, when Colci4hier emerged from her
room with JOHNNY, to go on the stage,
Sarah regarded her quizzically, and then
| said something in French equivalent to:
"Ah, my dear: / fear you kiss too much
on one side of your mouth. 1t has really
and truly bent your nose awry. Do let the
ther side have some of Jehan's attention"
No more was said. But that JOHNNY and
Coiombier plotted a deep revenge is evil
dent; for the book appears in Paris with
the name of Co,umbier instead OF Bernhard
as author, and among it's nnmerous ridic-
| ulous lies abont Americans ara some
| spiteful little filings at Sarah. Thus Sud-
] den Johnny gets even.

Honey Bees Capture a Whole Village.
From the Lancaster Examiner.

The village of West Fairview, Cumber-
land county. has been afflicted with aplagre
of bees. Two of its citizens keep some
$50 hives, and as bad weather made other
food scarce the interesting insects invade
the stores and houses in quest Of sweets.
Half q bushel of them swarmed in one
mans kitchen, of which they remained sole
tenants for q week. In that honse, on their
account, all fruit GINNING and preserving
had to be done at night. and for many days
all the family had to climb in and out the
windows, the bees laying siege to the doors.
In addition to this, whole orchards Of fruit
n arbois Of grapes were devoured by the
bees. Dozens Of persons were badly stung
while passing along the streets, and such a
reign of terror was established that recourse
has been bad to the courts for prevention
OF its reeurrenee.

Superintendent Walling yesterday summoned all

some sections of the Code OF Criminal Procedure,
relative 10 the action of corOners, and gave them
instructions concerning the disposition of prisoners
in cases of homicide, or of deaths resulting from
violence criminal carelessness He said that the
law did not empower a coroner TO commit or dis
charge prisoner, but prisoner must be taken be-
fore a police magistrate for commitment or dis
charge in all cases. If person is arrested previous
TO coroners inquest in the case, the coroner has
Jurisdiction, except that he may have the prisoner
brought before the jury In case an arrest is not
made previous to an inquest the coroner may issue

prisoner must be taken before police justice, and
not before the coroner, for an examination.
