son to some persons who consider them
selves well-bred /:
Afew years agoas stranger rose in city
pulpit to begin the service, several OF the
congregation began to leave the church.
He was lame man, and the pulpit was
near the door.
"Wait moment, my friends" said the
preacher, "till l get my hat, and Ill 60
with YOU"
Down he came, limping, hat in hand, and
left the church. This abrupt closing of the
services taught the people that there was at
with contempt.
. On certain occasion, the eloquent DR.. E.
H. Chaplin, being sick, was compelled to
ask a friend to preach for him. AS the
stranger rose to announce the opening hymn
score of persons rose to 60 out. This cler-
gylnan was also equal to such an emergency.

ship DR.. Chaplin will leave now; but those
who came here to worship God will sing the
forty-third hymn.'
That stopped the exodus.

NO COMPROMISE REACHED.

Neither Egypt nor France Makes any
First Move In the BOsphOre E%yptien
A6atr-Belief That the Matter will be
Peacefully Adjusted.
CAIRO, April 25.-The Egyptian government
has thus far made no tender of terms for q
compromise with France of the differences
growing out of the suppression of the Bosphore
EyYptien. As yet nothing looking to a solution
of the difficulty has been arranged. The min
fStry remains firm. An amfcable settlement,
however, is still hoped for. The French diplo-
matte agent is here yet He says that hewill leave
Cairo at o'clock this evening. 1t is believed
here that France has not yet instructed the
agent to leave Egypt. 1t is thought that France
will accept Egypt's offer to compromise, made
yesterday. In this the khedive's government
proposed to apologize for the forcible entry into
the office of the BosvhOre Egyptiet and to ad-
nit that the rights of domicile of the publishers
had been violated, provided France would per-
NIT the form of apology to go on record without
any reference to "the seizure of the Bosphore
Egyptien.
PARIS. April 25.-An newspapers here ap-
plaud the government for its energetic action In
the matter of the BOsphore Egyptien. The
GdutOis publishes a report that France and
England have agreed upon a compromise re-
garding the affair. In official circles, however,
1t is declared that France has determined to
exact reparation. This course of the govern
ment, says the Gd,tois, is evidently taken with
of Nubar Pasha in Egypt
The government, it is said, is about to send
its recent note regarding the rehabilitation
the Bosphore Egyptien to Nubar Pasha, the
Egyptian premier, to the powers, in the form OF
o circular,
