A MohgOi Characteristic.

With many good qualities, and with
almost a superabundance of religion,
the Mongols have no love of truth, and
are wont to despise man who cannot
meet the stress Of daily events by an
apt lie. On one occasion. travelling
with guide over the desert, Mr.. Gill
mour was frequently asked whether
he carried q revolver. He con-
stantly made the truthful reply
that he did not. This So aroused
the fear and excited the indignation of
the guide that his employers sad state
became matter of deep thought, result
ing in this solution. He suggested
that to all future queries Mr.. Giimour
should reply: Surprising I have,
what then? Surprising I have not,

\ Miracle.

Whenever there is an extraordinary
occurrence-a team runs over child
without hurting it; a mechanic falls
from third-story window, and in a
week after he is at work again, we are
wont to exclaim, "what a miracle "
So, when Mrs. 7. S. EBERLINE, then
of Allegheny City, Pa, had been sick
with consumption for a very long time,
had been told by several of the best
physicians of that city that her time
was but for few hours, that she must
die, and when the use of but one bot
tie of Perana in a weeks time placed
her on her feet again and made her
the heartiest eater of the family, all
the people around, as with one rejoic-
ing voice, exclaimed, "what wonder
full miracle!'' See page 30 of the ellis

Sunday in London.
Cor. Baltimore American. |


Talk about the Sunday law and its
enforcement in Baltimore 1t does not
compare to the observance of that dav
in this great city. One hardly knows
London to-day. after the hustle and
whirl of yesterday. The stores are
closed, the wagons have disappeared,
the cabs seem to run more quietly, and
the people seem almost afraid to speak
aloud. What a contrast after Il CONT

morning, and thought / would go to
the Criterion to get lunch. Imagine
my surprise when ] arrived at that
great restaurant and found it closed.
the Gaity and St. James likewise All
down the Strand, up i'll the west end,
and even in "the city" the restaurants
were closed tighter than the proverbial
clam. Not place to eat on Sunday
save the dining-room of hotel. The
chop-houses, the ''grill-rcoms," and the
"butfets" are all closed until 6 o'clock
III the evening" and even the drinking
bars and ale-houses-as far as exteriors
are concerned-are dark and uninviting.
Unless you know the proprietor, and
can enter by the family or wholesale
liquor" entrance, there is no use trying
to get in before o'clock.
There are plenty of churches to visit.
and good sermons are preached, and
the people seem to take advantage OF
this and go to church. At Spurgeon's
tabernacle the crowd is always great,
and every stranger pays it one visit at
least. When you approach the entrance
you are met by verger or official. who
gives you an envelope. This envelope
requests you to give contribution
penny or more-and drop it in the box
provided. The far-seeing, as well rs
the charitable. do this, and to them the
side gate or door Is open. The sexton
places you in a back seat, and requests
you to wait until 10 so o'clock. The
rule is, pew-holders must be in their
seats by that time or lose their places.
When the hour arrives the sexton tells
you to go up the aisle and take any seat
vacant. When those who have contrib
uted are seated the great doors are
opened and the crowd is admitted.
Then the services begin.

The playfulness of Mr.. Lockwood,

precipitated what may become re2u-

The World Moves.

How the world has progressed within q
century! George Washington, the first
president of the United States, never
saw steamboat. John Adams, the
second president of the United States,
never saw railroad. Andrew Jackson
the seventh president, knew nothing
about the telegraph. Abraham Lincoln

distant closing door, had ceased, point
ing towards his insensible daughter,
he said
"Now let my brother show his
power"
Thus unequivocally called on to
exercise the functions of his assumed
character, Hayward was apprehensive
that the smallest delay might prove
dangerous. Endeavoring then to col
lect his ideas, he prepared to perform
that species of incarnation, under
which the Indian conjurers are accus-
toned to conceal their ignorance and
impotency. 1t is more probable he
would soon have fallen into some fatal
error, had not his incipient attempts
been interrupted by fierce growls from
the quadruped. Three several times
did he renew his effort to proceed, and
as often was he met by the same un-
accountable opposition each inter-
ruption seeming more savage and
threatening than the preceding.
1.-THE cunning ones are jealous" said
the Huron 81 go, brother, the woman
is the wife of one of my bravest young
men; deal justly by her. Peace" he
added, reckoning to the disconnected
beast to be quiet 81 CO."
The chief was as good as his word,
and Duncan now found himself alone
in that desolate abode, with the help
less invalid, and the fierce and dan
gerous brute. The latter listened to
the movements of the Indian with that
air of sagacity that d bear is known to
possess until another echo announced
that he had also left the cavern, when
it came waddling up to Duncan, before
whom it seated itself, in its natural at
titude, erect like man. The youth
looked anxlously about him for some
weapon with which he might make a
resistance against the attack he now
seriously expected.
1t seemed, however, as if the humor
of the animal had suddenly changed.
Instead of continuing its disconnected
growls, or manifesting any further
signs of anger, the whole of its shaggy
body shook violently, as if agitated by
some strange internal CONFUSION. The
grim head fell on one side, and in
its place appeared the honest count
enance Of the scout, who was indulg-
ing, from the bottom of his soul, in
his own peculiar expression of merri-
ment. "Hist!" said the wary woods
man interrupting Heyward's exclama-
ton of surprise +: "the varlets are
about the place, and any sounds that
are not natural to witchcraft would
bring them back upon US in q body"
"Tell me the meaning of this mas
querade, and why you have attempted
so desperate an adventure ~
"Ah! reason and calculation are
often outdone by accident" returned
the scout. ''But as story should al
ways commence at the beginning, l
will tell you the whole in order.
After we parted I placed the command
