England Will Not Fight.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 29.-An ex-minister
said to your correspondent this evening: Rus
sia is now fully prepared for war. Even If Tur-
key opens the Black sea to England, Russia will
not bulge an inch, will not yield single point
nor disavow, or even explains the action of Gen.
eral Komaroff, which throughout Russia meets
with justly enthusiastic approval. But there
will be no war, for the simple reason that it
takes two to fight, and England will not fight
Russia, even if we took Herat tomorrow. Eng

The Church of the Presidents.

For great many years st. Johns
Church, at Washington, has been
known as the church home of the Pres
idents. 1t is quaint little structure
on II street, directly opposite Lafay-
cite Square and the White House.
Ever since the church was built pew
was reserved for the Chief Magistrate.
In cases where the Presidents happened
to be of some other religious faith it
has been customary for the President
to pay the pew rent as though he at
tended.
Grant did it, although he was
Methodist. Hayes was also Method
list, but it is perhaps needless to add
that he did not burden the financial of
ficers of the church with the trouble
of cashing any of his checks while he
was the occupant of the White House.
Garfield was one of the old fashioned
Complexities, but he kept up the good
old custom. Arthur is a member of the
Episcopal Church, and he was regu-
lar attendant ut st. Johns. Mr.. Cleve-
land hires a pew in DIR. Sunderland's
Presbyterian Church, but it is said that
he, too, has notified the officers at st.
Johns that he will be responsible for
the rent of the Presidents pew. While
Mr. Cleveland sits under the ministra-
ton of a Presbyterian, three of his
Cabinet, Messrs. Manning, Endicott
and Villas. have rented pews at st.
Johns and attend the services regular

of Hannibal Hamlin: "Some legisla

of Congress in regard to one of the

A RECENT traveller in Spain tells how
the children in Grenada played at bull
fighting One boy, holding pair of
wooden horns on his head. represented
the bull. Other boys, mounted on
each others backs, were picadors,
while others again, with their jackets
in their hands were supposed to be
matadors and chulos. The bull would
stamp his feet and roar, then make q
rush at one of the chulos, whose jacket
was thrown up by the wooden horns,
but whose body was never touched.
Then the bull would charge one of the
picadors, whereupon the boy playing
horse would throw himself to the
