a snhbath spectacle.

That was q queer performance at Cot
tage City, Mass, on Sunday last. After q
spirited controversy not yet ended after
pious men and women had given each
other "a piece of their mind"; after the
good people who have charge ofthe spirit
ual welfare Of the Cottage City had said
sayagely that the performance should not
20 on, sixteen huRdred people did attend
it.
Nothing short Of considerable pulpit
attraction draws sixteen hundred persons
to religious meeting. The attraction in
thi7 case was nota particularly devout
man, not man OF extraordinary reasoning
powers, not preacher Of rare eloquence.
The thing that drew was clergyman who
had been found in room with another
mans wife, the lights turned down, the
door locked. This single incident gave
him fame. Now everybody knows who
Downs is, and many people are talking
about him. This is how he becomes one
Of the lions Of the pulpit and can draw six
teenhundred peoplein Cottsgc City-could
draw sixteen thousand in New York City.
Preachers who hope to recach fame by
the way OF moderate sensationalism are
distanced by Downs in a single heat.
Downs dashes ahead and reaches the goal
with no greater labor than an indiscre-
ton. This is the way that Beecher trod.
There was famous BeechOr before, but
the step aside wroughtR BeeGher revival,
oulekened interest and made him for q
time the greatest attraction on the boards.
People don't often flock to hear the
pious, earnest preachers who do nothing
more startling than to preach Christ and
Him cFueiSad.

Somebody has unearthed an old prophe-
cy for the year 1856 Of decidedly uncom-
Portable nature. 1t appears that in the
church of 0beremnel, near the city Of
Treyeri, in Germany, there Is Q stnne tab
lei some centuries old, on which ia cut
the prophetic verse-in prose it may be
rendered.:
When Mark shall bring US Easter and
Anthony shall sing praises at Pentecost.
and John swing the censor at the feast Of
Corpus Domini, then shall the whole
earth resound with weepings aud watiings.
Now, it 80 bappans that next year Eas-
ter falls on st. Marks dsv, Pentecost on
that OF st. Anthony OF Padua, and the
Corpus Domini comes o. st. John the
Baptists day, June "a. Here, then, are
the frs. conditions Of the prophecy full
filled, so that now believers in prophecies
and anxious-minded persons generally
have only to sit down and think Of every
thing dissgreeable that can possibly hap
pen to this poor old planet aud the dwell
ers thereon between January and Deem:
Der, 1885. And, really, i. the cyclones and
earthquakes and epidemics, and "war and
rumois of wars" q the years 1882 3 4'5 are
to be eclipSed, the prospect is not an
agreeable one
