MOODY rae EVANGELIST.

Very many who sit before d. l.. Moois,
in the services he conducts, find themselves
sDeculating upon the source OF his remark

ceded to be a good man, bat do We not see
others following the ministry whom we
know to be exceptionally good? Is Mr..
Moody eloquent? Yes, but not so much so
as many other pulpit orators, nor does he
either affect gesture or profound elocutiOa.

entirely free from pedsntry to make it APP

him, producing expectation and degree of

CURRENT NOTE AND COMMENT.


APOSTLE Tg,BDEI, in an address to the
Mormons at Nephi, Utah, counseed the chill
dren as follows: II want to caution the
children. There's men sround asking the
children how many wives their fathers have.
If they ask you. tell them you don't know.
I'd rather you tell lie to defeRd your
friends and parents than tell the truth that

When reading the letter of General Cor

affairs al Khaitoum, the conduct of,the Eng
fish Ministry becomes Noticeable. Prior to
July We find him advising a relief expedi-
ton, and that it follow the right bank of the
Nile, in the hope of surprising Berber. He
gives notice of his determination to remain
at Khartoum until relief should arrive. On
August 81 he writes We have five months
provision and hope to get more. Our coun-
try's role has not been very noble in Egypt
or the Soudan." This criticism was deserved
six months ago, but how terribly has its cor
rectness been emphasized by Englands mac

Met ON the Field of Honor.

SpoCldl W Guo
MATAMoRAs, Mex, Nov. lit leaked
out here to-day that two very prominent
Mexican citizens had met On the field of
honor yesterday evening on the American
side of the Rio Grande, about five miles
above Brownsville. The principals were
none other than Maj. Gen. Matinee
of the regular army and Don An
tonic Caceres, one of the wealthiest
and most aristocratic citizens in the state
of Tamaulipas. The story goes that the
two distinguished men, accompanied by
their seconds and surgeons, crossed the
river some miles from this city about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and met in
grove on the very edge of the Rio Grande.
The weapons were long-range, re-
peating rifles. One report says that
the distance was only thirty paces
but another rumor says they stood sixty
PAGES apart. Senor Caceres was wounded
in the leg on the first fire, Gen. Martinez
escaping untouched. The wounded leg was
bandaged and Caceres demanded a second
shot, but when his second raised him up it
was found that he could not stand. Upon
discovering the seriousness Of the
wound Martinez declared he was sat-
isfed and the participants withdrew.
Intense excitement prevailed here when the
rumor got abroad that Caceres was wounded.
He is the pink of aristocracy and very pop
ular MARTINI was on the street to-day
and denied all knowledge of a duel, but
would answer no questions. 1t is said the
authorities have taken steps to bring the
principals before the court, and that both
will be arrested as soon as CacereS makes
his appearance

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
Boston, Nov. 11.-Another sensational
divorce suit was begun in the supreme court
to-day. Ellen J. G. Land, a handsome
woman of 20, seeks separation from Thomas
I. Land of Land Bros, bankers, on the
ground of intolerable cruelty. A cross
libel, asking divorce on account of
desertion, is being heard at the same
time. The testimony of the appellant was
sad one. She said she was married
when only sixteen, lived at the Revere
house and St. James hotel, and in one
years time was obliged to leave her hus-
band. The day after her marriage, while
lying in bed, Laud came and threw her
across the room, saying he would
bring her down. After their first
reception he struck her on the breast
and tried to strangle her. From the effects
of the blow her breast troubles her to this
day. The blow caused an abscess under
her arm. After the second reception Land
struck her on the abdomen, causing several
hours inconsistencies. While telling her
father of her husbands bad treat
ment the latter struck her on
the nose, causing cOpiOuS flow
of blood He struck her because
she would not wear low-necked dress,
threw wine in her face because she would
not drink with her friends, and on one
occasion locked her in the bath room over
night because she refused to comply with an
unreasonable request. At another time he
drew a revolver and threatened to shoot
her, broke her violin and locked up her
clothes,

The Balkan conference agreed to-day that
the basis of its deliberations should be res

No details were adopted. The Servian
government denies the Bulgarian report
that Servian troops crossed the frontier,
and states that Servia has no need to in
vent casus belli, as the Bulgarians have
given Servia ample grounds to declare war
when the proper moment arrives. Servia
refrains at the present from attacking Bull
garia for special motives which she regards
with great solitude, and which Bulgaria lg-
nores. Servia pursues state policy, while
Bulgaria follows revolutionary one
