First M. E. Chnrch.
Interesting Sermon by an IHdt'

Interesting Sermon by Indian Preacher.
 Last evening the Rev. MT. Baboo Ram
 Chandra Bose preached very interesting
 sermon at the First Methodist church on his
 conversion to Christianity and the progress
 of the Christian faith in India. He went on
 to describe the native belief and also the
 principal gods, one of whose names he him
 self bore. He stated the fundamental belief
 of the Hindoo religion to be that the incar-
 nation of matter is inevitably evil God can
 not come into association with matter without
 becom ipgincarnate. The Hindoo gods are
 monsters of cruelty and vice and are placed
 on earth to tempt men to sin. He said the
 gods worshiped in India were three hundred and thirty y-thre0 millions, which nearly equals the number of population. The spread of Christianity is rapidly advancing in h. dia. Several churches have been established and many thousands converted to Christiani- ty.
 In conclusion he thanked the American people for the share they have had in the good work, and hoped that they would con- tinue to assist in spreading the Christian be- lief throughout Indi and the entire " orld.

The Barnur,a C1rcus.

The Bridgeport papers are wildly enthusi- Rstic over Barnum and the circus The Farmer donates a column to the circus and says among other things: The street parade was in every respect worthy of Barnum. It was the largest, most brilliant, most enter taining and the finest in every way ever seen in Bridgeport. Within the tent ever thing was managed with the rapidity and calmness of we'll disciplined army. In fact, the whole organization is on the military system. There is a head to every depart ment, and he reports to superior, who re- ports to manager, who in turn takes his his special duty to perform, and he must do it and ask no questions.
 Some of the curiosities are great eaters. It is said that Chang, the Chinese giant, eats about $20 worth Of food day. The Hindoos cook their own meals which generally consist of a mess of fstewedOnions, potatoes, lemons and enough cayenne pepper to make it hot as fire. When they kill a chicken they pray over it for about an hour. They always eat with their fingers. The Todas Indians are vege- tarians and generally get away with three pounds Of rice each at @ meal. They peal potatoes with their thumb nails. The Nubians eat everything except pork The Zulus won't touch fish, while the Nautch girls live on fish and eggs. The Sioux Indians will eat any- thing from Q rum omelette to a tent pin. The Mussulmen dote on hard boiled eggs. Altogether 530 people are fed three timeS day, and they get away with 300 pounds of meat, 150 dozen eggs, $40 pounds of bread, 15 bushels of potatoes, 50 pounds of rice and 15O pounds each of flour and sugar.
 The show with all it's paraphernalia is ex- pected to arrive about o'clock this morn ing and if everything proceeds with it's urual deftness the parade will take place between and o'clock, and everyone should get out in time or they will miss the exhibition which is the whole show in itself. The open cepes and gilded chariots, the elephants, camels and many other attractions make up fiue show. The route will be over the usual streets, and the experience of other cities is that the parade is on timo. The tents will be pitched on the Howard avenue grounds

The Education of Women.

It is high time that all good housewives should be more highly educated than in for mer years, if only to be able to detect the manifold schemes made by interruptions manufacturers to aid competition by decep- Eion. A case in point has very recently oo- cured. Various dealers, totally unconnected with Baron Liebig, have been using his name and photograph. and the Liebig Extract of Meat company have found it necessary to in form the public that they are the only manu- lecturers who can offer the article with Baron Liebig's guarantee of genuineness. It there- fore behooves all housekeepers to insist upon seeing the name of the company on the jar, and the fac-simile of Baron Liebig's signature

Three out of a thousand And on such an inspiring subject too. The art of writing poetry is evidently on the decline.

An Incident of a Rarnum Parade.

At 8 late hour last night Manager Bailey, of the Barnum London show, telegraphed from Waterbury an incident which once oc- cured in New Haven that came near being serious. While the parade was passing the college some of the students with locking glasses threw strong blinding sunlight into the faces of the lady riders. Whatever might be said of this character of amusement, it did no particular harm to the ladies or any one else until the dazzling reflection struckthe elephants. The brutes were terrified by the binding light and started on a run, and the prompt and vigorous work of the keepers alone prevented a stampede that would have been serious. MT. Bailey hopes that nothing of the kind will occur to-day.
