Blessing the Threats.

Washington Letter in Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
At early church this morning the priest an
nounced that on next Saturday all who so
desired could have their Threats blessed under
the invocation of Saint Blaise, the patron of
persons thus troubled. The Indictment season
has caused wholesale disorders of the breathing
apparatus, aud many devout brethren will trust
to the Saint, plus or in spite of the doctor. Su-
pernatural faith is often a miracle worker as
well as a mover of mountains. The alarming
tendency of this age is to ridicule all such faith
as superstition and yet if the Bible teaches
anything, it emphatically shows that there is no
genuine religion that is not based upon it, So
am prepared to believe that Saint Blaise may
in some exceptional cases, be more potent than
quinine or cough syrup. At any rate, l would
not shake anybody's pious confidence in this
method of cT1rp

pairing of" of the couples who attend these
state dinners 1t can only be done by an expert,
and the ''l315-14 puzzle is nothing to it. 1t is
understood, to begin with, that no lady is to go
to dinner with her husband or the gentleman ac-
companying her to the house. This part of
the apportionment is simple to allot;
one mans wife to another man and the other
fellows better half to some one else, is easy
enough, if that were all. But it is not. The al
lotment must be made in such manner that
every one will have a companion that will be
agreeable to her and to him. Even there the
trouble does not end for the question of seating
is still more difficult. There are certain persons
whose seat must, according to social etiquette,
be next to that of the President, and others
whose seats must be opposite, or vls-a-vis with
his Even this might he overcome without any
serious amount of brain racking, but when the
next rule is applied, that no couple must be so
seated that the lady or gentleman shall sit next
to his or her husband or wife, the agony begins.
There is no wonder a large force of private sec
retaries is needed at the White House
during the season of state dinners.

proper sort of tune, and the President, giving
his arm to the ranking lady, leads the way to the

Caleb Cushings personal habits were peculiar.
Although most charming companion, an agree

where he was always delightful, he was soli-

Wilde, bright and remarkable woman, who en-

what unusual. Old politicians remember the
savage assaults made on him in Massachusetts
on the charge that affidavit in his favor was,
in fact, made to his wife, although her name
was studiOusly concealed under the designation
of "a person" She died young and he never
married again, and always seemed to lead wan
dering life; for, although he had home in New
buryport no one was sure of finding him there
or of being able to ascertain where he was.
When he entered railway car he would if pos
sible select vacant seat next to some person he
did not knOw-an Irishman seemed preferable

a singular trait, by the by, in eminent men.

Barnum's Alleged White Elephant.


went on Saturday to see the elephant. He
a well proportioued beast, but he can only be
called white by those who are in the habit of
calling black white. The only difference be-
tween him and other elephants is that he has a
cream colored patch with spots on his trunk, and
one or two others on his chest, and that the tips
of his ears are of the same hue and look like a
sort of lacework. | have no reason to doubt that
he is holy animal; but, alas his presence in the
flesh among us dispels one more ilusion-the
sacred white elephants which the Siamese wor-
ship are, so far as color is concerned, pious
frauds. In Mexico there is a race of Indians
with light patches on their skins. These mot
tied savages go by the name of Pintos. ''Toung
Taoung" is a Pinto; he looks like an elephant
with slight touch of leprosy. With a coating of
whitewash, however, and with few priests in
gorgeous Eastern rai1nents to minister to him,
should think that he is likely to prove remunera-
tive as q show beast

At the last diocesan convention of Missouri,
under the direction of Rt. Rev c. +. Robertson,
of St. Louis, with the clergymen of the diocese,
a committee was appointed to prepare feasible
plan for the division of the diocese of Missouri,
with view to the formation of new diocese in
the western part of the State. This committee
of six consisting of three clergymen and three
laylnen, has been called to meet in this city, on
Friday next, at 1:3O o'clock, at st. Marys Church,
to mature plan for the division. The three
clergymen composing the committee are: Rev.
DR.. Runcie, of st. Joseph Rev. Mr. Talbot, OF
Macon, and Rev. Father Jardine, of this city.
The remaining three members of the committee
are laymen and are: Judge Turney, of Cameron

when he was about thirteen they invited him
and his mother to beautiful island to spend
some weeks then they asked Heinrich to take a
ride in a boat, and he was no sooner in than they
started for the mainland, leaving his mother and
her maids all alone on the island. Heinrich
tried to jump overheard and swim back to her
but he was caught. Those were the very people

wicked thing as they could

very bad man-and he had plenty of trouble,
just as bad men are sure to have"
He wasn't the one that they coaxed to be
good, said wiseeyed Dickie, who, though a
naughty boy, was quick witted one.
I'm not sure of that. If he had mother
who did not know any better than to try to
hire her mobiles, don't you believe she managed
her little boy in much the same wayl"

his grapes and oranges, and went off to the

Dickie by trying to hire him to be good when

Agnes certainly injured her boy in some way.

SANKEY, THE SINGER.

Olive Logan, in Philadelphia Times
The third figure on the platform is Sankey,
who sings while Moody breaches, and is to the
eye of one who has seen much and suffered much
yes, even myself. if you will-the most inter
esting person of the trio. He is a tall, slim
young man, still in his twenties l should say,
dressed in clerical garb hopelessly plain, red
haired, afflicted with a gigantic mouth, which
has the effect of cleaving his face in twain when
he opens his lean, lank jaws to sing. There is
that in this poor lads demeanor, in his Dress in
his entire aspect, which proclaims him the
curate the creature, the theological slave of all
work of the comfortable, celebrated preacher of
whose eXhOrtations we are soon to have the sur
passing benefit. Sad starveling of the church,
ones heart Is moved to pity by the mere sight of
him. Thin to emaciation, plain almost to re-
pulsiveness, his cheeks so hollow one wonders if
they interfere inside, his mouth a survival of
the Saurian epoch he turns to heaven pair of
great soft, soulful, gray eyes and joins in
the hymn with voice that thrills
the listeners souls and shakes his feeble
body as though it were a reed Father
above us, what a voice! With heart-rending
pathos it wells forth, swelling through the
spaces of the half-empty church, ringing richly
through the open windows, floating out upon
the pavement, so that passers-by (bound per-
chance to the beer and bottleshop opposite) stop
suddenly quite still to listen to the unseen cler-
ical Orpheus within. ''There is a gate aiar for
me-" So pours he forth his melodious canticle
A gate ajar! Ay, sweet singer, who can doubt itl
You must be a lost chord from the celestial
harmonies, and in the eternal rehabilitation full
surely will the gate be open wide for you to en-
ter, there to take your place in the silvery choir
Of the great Jehovah.

MUTINY AND MURDER.
A Desperate Fight with Rebeilious Crew
on the High Seas.

on the High Seas.
Brisbane Dispatch to Sydney Herald.
An extraordinary case of mutiny and murder
occurred on board the Swedish schooner Natal,
Captain Eustrom, from Boston, which arrived
in Moreton bay Dec. % The following are the
particulars 50 far they could be obtained:
Early on the morning of the Goth of November
the Captain was awakened by a blow from
broad AK down the side Of his face. He jumped
up and found the carpenter of the ship with an
ak uplifted for another blow The ak, in flying
struck beam overhead; the handle struck the
Captains arm, but he received a severe blow on
the temple from the ak. sailor at the same
had attacked the chief mate, who was asleep in
his berth, with a revolver The sailor fired, and
the ball struck the mate on the side of the nose.
The mate then seized the revolver and rushed
into the Captains cabin, where he found the
Captain bleeding badly, the whole of the mat
tress on which he was lying being saturated
with blood All hands were then in much con-
fusion and excitement.
On going deck the Captain and chief mate
were attacked by the crew of five men with
handspikes. The Captain carried shotgun and
the mate had revolver which he took from q
sailor. A scrimmage ensued, during which the
revolver was knocked from the mates hand
overheard The crew were evidently afraid of
the gun, and four of them ran away into the
hold, the Captain keeping one of them on deck
The captain then learned of the death of his son,
the second mate, who had been cut down while
washing his clothes in the moonlight by sea-
when one of the mutlneers put his hand over the
poor fellows mouth and threw him overheard.
The four who escaped into the hold
remained there four days, refusing to come
out Ultimately they were induced to come
out, and the Captain shot dead "Bill" and
the carpenter, who were the ringleaders in the
mutiny and murder. The Captain appears to
have exercised great GOODNESS in putting to death
the two who were implicated in killing the second
mate and who had actually tried to murder the
captain and mate.
After a few days suffering and great hardship
in having to watch the three men who remained
the bark Kaffir was signaled, and the captain of
that vessel, after some difficulty, induced two of
his men to come on to Brisbane in the schooner
Natal When that vessel arrived in port the
three men concerned in the mutiny were handed
over to the water police, who brought them to
town, where they were formally arrested on the
authority of the Swedish consul One of those
killed was Yankee named William j. Turton;
the other was German named J. Peterson.
The mutineers were brought before the Police
Court yesterday and were remanded until next
Friday,

1t is somewhat discouraging for boy OF mod
crate Abilities who aims to do his best, to be
told that others accomplished in childhood what
he can only do by hard study the best years
of his youth. But such a boy should not relax
his efforts. He will succeed if he gives his
heart and mind to the work. Sir Isaac Newton
was pronounced a Ounce in his early school
days. He stood low in his classes, and
seemed to have no relish for study. One day
the bright boy" of the school gave him a kick in
the stomach, which caused him severe pain.
The insult stunned young Newton to the
quick, and he resolved to make himself felt and
respected by improved scholarship. Newton
owed his pre-eminence in his philosophical
studies more to perseverance and application
than to any marvellous natural endowments.
Oliver Goldsmith, than whom no boy could APP
pear more stupid, was the butt of ridicule. A
schooldame, after wonderful patience and per-
severance, taught him the alphabet-a thing
which she lived to mention with pride when her
pupil became famous.
Sir Walter Scott was dull boy, and when at
tending the University at Edinburgh he went
by the name of 1.-THE great blockhead." But he
wasted no time on trifes, and in pursuing a study
that he loved he was persevering and methodi-
cal.
Sheridan found it hard to acquire the elements
of learning His mother deemed it her duty to
inform his teacher that he was not bright to
learn like other boys. Adam Clarke was pro
nounced by his father to be "a grievous Ounce, P"
and DR.. Chalmers was pronounced by his teacher
an 'encorrigble" one. Chatterton was dismissed
from school by his master, who, finding himself
unable to teach him any thing in a satisfactory
manner settled it that the boy was a fool
