THE rush to secure seats at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian church, in
Washington, Of which Rev. DR.. William
Alvin Bartlett is pastor, and which
President Cleveland will attend, is some
thing unprecedented. The membership
of the society is very large, and vacant
seats command premium. Pews that
could readily have been secured two
months ago for $3.50 per annum are
now eagerly snapped up at double that
sum, although the occupants will not
live here Oh an average of six months
in the year. Old mossback Democrats
who have not seen the inside of church
in generation, are said to be among
the most importunate of bidders.

break through. If one is unfortunate
enough to be poet the chances multi
ply against him. For one thing, the
compensation is disheartening, although

good thing. 1t is an all-day picnic in
the woods, with e feast which throws
the clam chowder and the barbecue into
the deep shade of obScurity. In fact the
burgoo usually includes barbecue as
sort OF incident You go out to a corner
OF the woods, where the thick under
brush has been carefully cut away, and
where there are trees enough for Shade.
but not enough for gloom, and there
you sit and play poker and smoke the
finest tobacco i'll the world and drink
oily 10-year-old sour mash and sniff the
delightful aroma of the burgoo until
along in the afternoon, when the mig
gers pronounce the bGrgoo ready and
ladle it ont to you in big bowlfuls.
The burgoo is delicious broth which
is perpetual reminder of the aborigines
who handed it over TO our pioneering
forefaihers when they began coming
across the mountains from Virginia.
You take-or rather the darkies take
a gigantic kettle and hang it over roar
ing fire. A light broth is made first
then they throw in young chickens,
young ducks, sucking pigs, and all sorts
of small game, with fresh potatoes, green
peas, string beans, corn and every other
vegetable. Everything is cooked until
the meat begins to fall to pieces. Then
the walters, with shining, smiling, black
faces and snow white jackets and aprons,
bear great bowlfuis OF the toothsome
stew through the grove. Oh, how good
it is! My mouth waters as | tell you OF
it. AfterwarI there is more burgoo, and
then more burgoo, until everybody has
actually had enough. Then the darllies
satisfy themselves, while you return to
your pipe and your glass, until the
shadows of evening gather sleepily
around you His vo.ce became low and
his look became dreamy. Suddenly he
reused himself, and remarked as he
turned away: "a few weeks later the
darkies hold their camp meeting on the
same spot"

The Course of Rivers.
[J0hn Swinton's Paper.


What is the reason that Indo- China,
British India, contains only 81, 900, O0O
eople to the lagter's 250,00O,00O? In
harbors, minerals and soil, Indo- China
IS the equal Of British India The sc
eret is found in the course of the rivers.
In Indo- China they run from north to
south. Unlike the dwellers by the

10 natural highways in the same lati-
rude. From the heights of Yunnan to
the torrid delta Of the Mekong, the
change is 80 rapid that climate itself
keeps the different tribes separate and
hostile. This effect is not produced by
the course of the Nile, which, flowing
north from the equator, keeps an equal
temperature throughout
In our own country one sees many ex-
amples of this great law of migration.
In travelling due west from a Con-
necticut village to the Mississippi, except
that you have grown fat and caught tie
ague, you hardly seem to have changed
your domicile.
This law explains the magical rapidity
with which the great valley Of the Ohio
was settled.
And the valley of the Mississippi, a
river navigable from the gulf to St.
Paul, why did this fertile valley have to
be settled by sections? Why did it have
to wait for settlers from Virginia, New
York and New England? Whv did not

So, too, it was not until the new

numbers-though this may be mere
coincidence

IT is announced from the seat of war
in Soudan, that Ell Mahdi will cease his
efforts to bag Gordon in Khartoum, ad
uniting at last that he has charmed
life and canLot be taken or killed, and
will concentrate his efforts upon DON
COLA and endeavor to defeat Wolseley
before he can effect a junction with
Gordon's forces. The new arena will
have many advantages to the Mahdi.
He will probably make his attack in the
worst part of the march, between the
river and Berber, where the invading
army will take short cut across the
big bend. The desert is most deadly
in that region and the advantage will be
on the side of the children of Sahara.
