 When Lewis R. Richmond, the South Car olina moonshiner, cornered, after for eight years eluding the government officials, was asked to surrender, he exclaimed:
 "Never, to men who fire at my back"

 By the way, if Garfield had been in the hands of backwoodsman's nurse, he might have lived. A heap of volunteer testimony against the infalHbility of the physicians has been accommodating of late, and people are encouraged to do their own doctoring more and more.

But they should have been lively and drawn first They could easily have disarmed the monster had they covered him with that dead shot-War ner's Safe Cure, which, drawn promptly, always takes the prey. It is doubtless true that sporting men dread this enemy more than any mishap of their profession, and presumably this explains why they as a rule are so partial to. that celebrated "dead shot"

REV. DR. ANDERSON.
Waterbury's Favorite Pastor At The
 United Church.


 United Church.
 The subject of Rev. Dr. Anderson's ser mon yesterday forrnoon was from the last part of the third verse of Rev. iv. chapter: "And there was & rainbow round about the throne like emerald to look upon.'' The chapter was read the scripture lesson of the day. The speaker first reviewed the points of the figurative description of Christ's king dom, so graphically depicted in the eleven brief verses of this short chapter. The jas per and sardius stones named as emblems of Christ's throne of majesty on high were described as not the precious stones to which we give those names, but the diamond and ruby are meant. The signifies the purity and perfection of the judge of all the earth the other his justice power and judgment "The rainbow round about the throne like an emerald to look upon" signife es the mer- cy surrounding the retributions of Gods judgments. The rainbow, the early token of mercy and comfort to the families of Noah saved from the flood, is newly brought out as the emblem of mercy with the addi- ton of new and brighter light around it of the color of emerald, pleasantest of all colors to the eye The fIeeness, the fullness and the winning power of the gospel were beau
  speaker in new and most interesting man ner. He very fairly and fully stated the dark and the bright side of life. Those who declare that the works of nature and mans life experience do not show Gods mercy and care point to the darkness of night rendering us defenseless against the horrid dangers which ever beset us; to the cheerless winter aflicting the poor and needy and taking the strength and power of every living creature to save itself from suffering and death, and added to these are the violence of tempest on sea and land and all the ills of life, and the fault-fnd makes his argument seem strong But we are not to look only on the dark side. Day succeeds the night and the genial sun brings back joyous life to all who accept it. Summer succeeds the winter and the dearest tokens of Gods bounty are presented to us. To the three months of winter three times as many months of spring, summer and autumn are given for blessing and enjoyment. For any pang thousand pleasures more than atone. Although "why evil is in the world' is mystery we must admit that happiness could hardly be defined or enjoyed without it. To overcome evil with good is our mission on earth, and with unwavering belief in God each passing moment brings us nearer @ home of happiness eternal in heaven.

Ivan Turgenieff.


 If were asked what was Turgenieff's dis tinguishing merit as a novelist I should be disposed to say-truthfulness. It may seem paradoxical to predicate such a quality of writer of fiction, but it is, I believe, one of the highest qualities which he can possess: it is one of those qualities without which no novelist, as no artist, can attain to the in- most circle of greatness For a novel is representation of life, and that representa- ton ought to be true one. I dc not mean that a novelist should, after the manner recommended by Zola, go about with note book jotting down everything he sees, and then slavishly reproduce it; but he should always be taking mental notes, and from these notes he should construct his picture. But he must not only give true representa- tion of his own mind. He must indulge neither in false sentiment nor in false enthu- siasm, nor in false cynicism. Of our great English novelists the two who stand at the respective poles of their art in the matter of truthfulness George Eliot and Dickens, and it is no small measure of praise to say that Turgenief is as truthful as George FL ot

A Dull and Irregular Markef-The Bulls Have the Hest of the Struggle and Carry Prices Up a Trffe.

New York, Aug. %, 1885.
 The stock market this morning was dull and ir- regular, while the tone during the greater part was weak. Business for the week was mainly made up of transactions by the cliques, the outside public taking little interest in the market. The bulls and bears had several contests for supremacy, and although the bulls stubborny contested every attempt to force prices down the bears outgener- aled them and at 10:30 twenty -four of the stocks traded in were 1s to per cent lower, and twelve higher to a similar extent. Towards midday there was fractional advance all around but it was lost by p. m. free offerings. The stock market con tinued dull throughout the afternoon, while the tone was feverish. The course of prices cratic throughout, with frequent periods of strength and weakness. The bulls, however, held the upper hand throughout, and at the close prices in most cases fractionaly higher than those of yesterday. The specialties were neglected. The sales amount ed to a1s, 300 shares.S
 Money closed easy at 11502 per cent.
