MODERN TRIAL BY ORDEAL.

A Doctors Triumph over His Patient.
gentleman who some years ago acted
as surgeon to several friendly societies
in the county of Durham, says Chambers
Journal, relates the following anecdOte,
which occurred between him and one of
his rustic constituents. A member of an
dd-Fellows' lodge came one evening for
advice at the usual hour of consultation.
The symptoms were duly detailed, and
the surgeon prescribed a mixture which
contained two grains of tartrate of anti
mOny in eight ounces of water. The
patient on arriving home took dose of
his medicine, but was annoyed to lind
that it had so little taste, and that, more
over, it presented no solid material to be
shaken up. On submitting the bottle to
his wife she also, on tasting, pronounced
it to be ''nowt but wetter." He then took
counsel with some of his brethren, who
were not very favorably disposed toward
the doctor, and, yielding to their advice,
entered a complaint to the lodge. In due
time the doctor received from the secretary
a notice to attend and answer Brother
Jones' charge to the effect that he had
been supplied with water instead OF medl-
cine. In reply to this notice, the surgeon
asked the secretary to intimate to the
aggrieved brother that it would be neces-
sary to have the medicine produced in
order that he might have a fairchance of
rebutting the charge.
When the night arrived. there was
goOdly attendance of members, and the
lodge having been formally opened, Jones
was asked to stand forth and prefer his
charge against the doctor, which he did,
alleging that the bottle produced was
given to him for medicine, and contained
nothing but water. After he had finished
his statement, the surgeon proclaimed to
the meeting that if Jones was sincere in
his belief that there was nothing but
water in the bottle, he could have no OBJ
lection to drinking the contents at ore
draught. The chairman and brethren
thought this a reasonable proposition,
and put it to Jones accordingly. Jones
was evidently not quite prepared for this
crucial test of his belief, but could see no
way out of it. After little hesitation he
consented. The contents of the eight
ounce mixture were transferred to a
tumbIer, and he quatfed them off. The
doctor then intimated to the chairman
that he might proceed with any other
business, until the medicine had time to
take effect. After the lapse of about
half an hour, Jones began to exhibit signs
of internal disturbance, and basin was
brought in for his convenience. 1t soon
became manifest to the brethren that
there must have been something more
than water in the mixture. The doctor
submitted that he had etfectually upset
both Jones and his allegation, ard quilted
the lodge in triumph.

ROStOn'S Horse Cars.

He was New Yorker-for the first time In
Boston. He had strolled through fremont
and Washington streets, and finally brought
up at the East Boston Ferry. There he stood
for five minutes or so, looking at the steady
streams of horse cars pouring through all the
neighborhood, and then he spoke:
"Well, l give it up. BOstOn's elected by a
heavy majority. New York amt a patch on
1t, nor Brooklyn either, on horse cars. Never
saw so many horse cars, nor so many different
kinds of horse cars, running to so many differ
ent points OF the compass at once, in all nv
travels. And they all seem to run in circles,
too. If one of them should jump of the track
it would blockade the whole town"
''They do jump the track sometimes an

GLORY HALLELUJAH.
The Man who Originally Applied tn

The Man who Originally Applied the
Chorus Once a Slave in Kentucky.
Writing from Plattsburg, Mo-, says the
St. Louis Republican, Mr.. A. Musser
says: IN common with thousands of
Kentuckians of the Blue Grass regions,
fifty years ago knew Nat Speaks, col
ored man of undeniable genius and unaf-
fected piety. He was the originator of
the hymn, 1.-The Old Ship of ZiOn," with
the chorus, ''Glory Hallelujah," out of
which has since grown John Browns
Body and the celebrated war song,
orally Round the Flag" Nat Speaks,
when first saw him, in 1884, was of middle
age and black of skin as the purest blood
Of his race, kind in behavior and simple in
speech as a child. His freedom had been
bestowed upon him by his master, i'll
whose family he had been born a slave,
where he had been taught by the children
to read and write. He passed his free
dom in useful farm labor and his spare
time as a volunteer evangelist; teaching
by example, rather than by precept, the
simple truths of Christianity. His strong
point was earnest singing of hymns of his
own making, of the class of compositions
general then as corn field and corn shuck-
ing songs, with a grand chorus. The
''OId Ship of Zion" is readily recognized
as belonging to that class.
''The gospel ship is sailing,
Sailing, sailing,
Bound for Canaan's happy shore.
All who would ship for glory,
Glory, glory,
All who would ship for glory,
Come and welcome, rich and poor,
Glory halelUjah, glory hallelujah,' etc.
Ivividly recall to mind that once during
a season of great religious interest in
Cynthiana, Ky, Nat Speaks would be in
vited, evening after evening, to the houses
of the leading citizens to sing his "Old
Ship of Zion," and many nice little sums
his performances, which never failed to
impress his hearers, and not always with
out tears.

AeaC York Letter to the Portland Argus.
An extremely dignifed elderly bachelor
who was wild in his younger days, but
who has been a choice blossom of pro-
priety 10! these many years, lives at our
house this winter. There is an ancient
stovepipe hole through the wall which di-
Vides the bachelors room from an unOc-
cupied one, which hole is covered and
hidden by wall paper, and the bachelor
knew not of its existence. He had made
a few bets on the election, as is the Gus
tom of bachelors whether old or young,
and on Saturday night last he collected
those bets and treated the ''bOys," aged
from 30 to 20 years. He is staunch old
Democrat and had lost all his bets and
been defeated for many years; hence it is
not at all strange that upon
this occasion he became as
GLORIOUS" as Tam o. Shanter aforetime.
At late hour he came home in what had
been his normal nightly condition 20years
before, and stumbled up to his room.
Now, it so CHANGED that there was Wis

walled in a voice loud enough TO Waken

FashiOn Notes.

Long wraps with high shoulders are all
the rage.
The dog collar necklet is much worn by
young ladies.
Ladies with short waists ought not to
wear wide belts.
Hooks and eyes are once more used as
dress fastenings.
The useful and economical polOnaise is
again fashionable.
Bronze slippers and cardinal silk hose
are popular for afternoon wear at home.
Gray and black ostrich feathers are
speckled with white, as if sprinkled with
snow.
Gloves are black, white, drab, fawn and
tan. The Suede is still the most popular
and handsome.
COrsets are undergoing a change. They
are made shorter in the waist and all on
more room for the hips.
Bonnet strings are quite short and tied
in a coquettish bow under the chin-nOt
under the left ear, as formerly.
Choice sprays of shaded velvet flowers
appear upon some of the most elegant
little opera bOnnets from Paris.
A terra-eotta poke honnet is lined with
old gold satin. Waves Of creamy lace
and birds of iridesceRt plumage form the
The little pelerines of seal or silk plush
are the rage at present. These look eX-
ceedingIy chick and jaunty upon tall,
slender women.
A narrow band of velvet RIBBON or an
almost invisible Venetian chain is the
correct thing from which to suspend
handsome lOcket.
A white cloth capOte, with plated
crown, bound with wide brown velvet
woven with tiny gold loops, has large
pompOns of zephyr wool.
Fine white wool jerseys trimmed with
wide Hercules braid, with or without a
little Gilt or silver, worn with light wool
or a silk skirt, form dressy house toilet.
The latest method of wearing the watch
is with a ribbon bow in place of chain.
The watch is tucked into the bosom of
tho dress, and the bow is arranged grace
fully outside.
Heavy wooden basket cloth fabrics,
combined with silk-fnish velveteens, are
in great vogue for stylish walking cos
tunes. The muff and French cap bonnet
invariably correspond.
Green is the prevailing color in import
ed bOnnets for the autumn and winter,

operate stage. 1t is true that she wears
fine dresses under Mr.. Amberg's manage
ment. That would be sufficient to satisfy
the ambition of a very large proportion of
Ewes daughters who yearn to become
professionals.
A few days ago the advertisements an
nOunced the positively last appearance"
of Victoria. The fact that she
keeps right on warbling is an
indisputable REPUTATION of the truth
of the assertion. Being asked to explain
the announcement, the lady most inter-
ested admitted her inability to account
for the foundation on which the statement
rested. She says that she wants to make
money enough to purchase and stock
farm as home for Ernest and herself,
and proposes to sing long enough to &C.
cOmplish her purpose. 1t is possible, she
says, that Ernest and she may make a
trip to Italy during the coming summer.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.
A Mother Finds Her ErrinZ Son, After
Years of Absence, Ill in Prison.

Joliet prison, says Joliet
(IH.) special of Dec. 10, was to-day the
theatre OF scene of such
a narrowing character as brought I'M
wOnted moisture to the eyes and sympa-
thetic feeling to the hearts of the prison
officials. Upon the occurrences of the
assault upon young Gaines by the con-
Wet Kelly last Saturday night, the de-
tails were sent to the relatives, who are
among the most prominent and wealthy
families in Brooklyn, y. Y, who were ut
terly ignorant of the young mans where
abOuts and disgrace. The arrival of his
mother and brother at l O'Clock to-day led
to a scene of such dramatic pathOs as no
pen could adequately portray. To inter-
pref the volumes of feeling expressed in
the choking utteTances, "My boy; my poor
bOy!' Of the mother, IS she cast herself
on her knees by the boys cot, passes the
capacity of language. To describe the
loving glances of the sufferer, as for the
first time be looked upon the mother whom
he had hoped to spare the knowledge Of
his shame, would be equally impossible.
Owing to the condition of the patient and
the dangerous effect of the excitement
the interview was shortened by the ply
stefan, but the sorrOwing relatives will re-
main here till he is out of danger and will
no doubt make strenuous efforts to secure
his rplQasp
