CLERGYMAN ASSAULTED.
An Irate ParishiOner Doesn't Like tho
Name of Grant,

Rev ]. F. Shultz, OF Shrewsbury, Pa, pas
tor of the circuit embracing the Winterstown
Evangelical church, some time ago announced
That he would preach Grant memorial SER
mon. j. Ii. F. Fulton, well-known resident,
gave notice that such sermon should not be
preached in that church. But little attention
was paid to his threat, and on Sunday Rev.
MIR. Shutz announced his text and
proceeded with his sermon, enumerating
great men of ancient and modern times
Fulton sat quietly until Gen. Grants name
was mentioned when he sprung to his feet,
brandished his arms, and cried to the minis
ter Stop that !" The preacher continued
his discourse, and Fulton advanced up the
aisle. Great confusion prevailed, which
reached crisis when tho angry member
sprung into the pulpit and violently assaulted
the minister, knocking him down. A rush
was made by The congregation to defend the
postor, and in the melee one man received a
blow from Fulton's fist, and another had his
clothing badly torn. Order was finally re
stored and the sermon finished. Fulton will
probably be prosecuted. His actions have
aroused great Indignation.

If the report came from the West, il
would be considered playful stroke OF
fancy, but London Nature is authority
for the declaration that "the cells of the
ponds in the woods of Vincennes leave
the ponds every spring in large numbers,
making their way to the Seine or thu
Marine, several kilometers distant. They
take advantage of rainy weather, when
the heritage is wet, and their instinct
guidesthem directly to their destination
And such emigration by cells and otheI
fishes is not uncommon elsewhere, Ma
ture says. THUS in the marshes OF
Picardy cells are often found on the grass
going from enc pond to another"

Human Nightingales.

In chatting with Nine. Marchesi,
the famous Singing Professor, about
her still more famous pupil, Gabrielle
Krauss, says writer in an exchange,
we depressed into talk about the
vocal gifts of the different civilized
nations of the world. In her classes at
Vienna, Nine. Marchesi had young
songstresses of almost every nation.
She placed the Italians and Germans
at the head of the best endowed, both
as regards voices and musical sensibil-
tiles. Some Hungarians should also
be highly estimated, and many Swedes
that passed through her hands had
superior gifts. When Frenchwoman
had musical enGowmentS she made
the most of them. Americans and
Irish Nine. Marchesi had often found
very highly gifted. But there was no
larynx more difficult to drill than the
English. I asked her whether this
was owing to want of ear. 1t could
not be due to the effect of the English
language on the throat and mouth,
since it was spoken both in America
and Ireland. mo" she said, "there
is vast deal of music in good English
poetry. The defective larynx, in my
opinion, comes from the way English
is spoken in genteel and aristocratic
society. Broad, open sounds are never
heard. There are consonants that are
slurred or clipped; and conversation
is carried on everywhere in under
tones-that is, by ladies, young girls,
governesses, and nurserymaids. The
current pronunciation and enuncia-
ton in the long run incapacitate the
throat for fine vocalzation. The Irish
speech is much less restrained, so far
as the pitch of the voice and the
launching of vowels and certain con-
sonants 60. A brogue may be dis.
advantage in a drawing-room; but
from my particular point of view it is
not one" "Well," l observed, show
do you account for the number Of good
voices in the United States, among
Americans who have no brogue, and
are of Anglo Saxon origin ?" Nine
Marchesi replied that American girls
learned to speak in their public and
other schools very distinctly and audi
bly,, and were often obliged to give
their impressions and ideas on many
subjects orally as well as in writing.
The spoken and improvised essay was
the best way to acquire good die.
ton, but on condition, of course, that
the matter with which it dealt was
well understood by the speaker. The
singsong delivery of a thing learned
by rote was unconsciously avoided
and as teacher at some distance was
the person addressed, it would not d.
to clip words. Peculiarly American
defects were easily surmounted by q
singer. Nine. Marchesi insisted again
on the music of English poetry. Sht
was half inclined to think that Eng
