A New York church congregation
recently made quite a ceremony of
the burning of mortgage which,
''in the order of Providence" they
had been enabled to pay off. After
the sermon the pastor stepped down
from the chancel and took from with
in his vest a folded manuscript,
"This," said he, sis a mortgage.
Until now I've never seen one. Have
you any idea what the holders of
this bond could do? They could turn
you out of your church, but, thank
heaven, they can't do it now, for it is
paid" He then tore the paper into
slips, and crumbling the pieces into
a ball, placed it on a tray. Lighting
a small lamp, he ignited the ball. and
while the congregation sang the dOX-
ology, the mortgage paper of $4,000
was burned to ashes. When the ser.
vices ended, the trustees assembled
and held a second cremation. Upon
the same tray which held the ashes
of the mortgage the note was burned.
During the service many of the
older members were moved to tears.
The ashes are now inclosed in a seal
ed envelope, but will be placed in a
silver urn. which, with the lamp,
will be inclosed in a glass case and
hung in the parlOr of the church.

Senator SaWyer's Parable.

From the India napolis ,urnal.
There was rather an amusing in |
cident at the Ebbitt House 4 day on
two ago. Senator Sawyer, of WI,
cOnsin. who was here Ell route to
New York, met Senators Beck anG
Harris at the hotel, and after passing
the compliments of the day, said
"Well, gentlemen, how do you Ike

waiting in vain to hear from Harris,
l, am tOlerahly well satisfied.

coded it, anyhow. Yes, ain pretty
well satisfied"
$50 am l." said Harris, in way
that showed that he was about as
happy as Beck, who, everybody
knows, is not happy at all.
"Well," said Senator Sawyer. 81
think l can tell you a story that
will illustrate about how well you
are pleased. Now promise me that
if I hit it right the first time you will
own up"
So they promised.
"Well," he said, "there were a
dozen fellows up in our pine timber
country whvpatn onrne n"sther one
fall to go into the woods and cut logs
They hadn't much money, and their
plan was to work together, mourning
just as little expense as possible, run
their logs together, and, after mar
keting them in the spring, divide the
money equally. This plan was ac-
ceptable to ALL when it occurred to
some one that they should have de-
cided who should be cock for the
party. 1t was positively necessary
that some one should do the cooking,
for they were determined not to hire
a cook. So they all fought against
the duty. But some one must do it,
and so it was decided that they should
draw lots, and the one getting the
longest should be cook, but if any fell
ow complained of the cooking he
should take that duty himself and
excuse the first one selected. SO they
went into camp, and the first duty
that the new cook essayed was to
cook pot of beans. BY some chance
he got them altogether too salty, SO
much so that they were entirely I'M
fit to eat. The men were hungry,
however, and at meal time We're
promptly on hand for their beans.
Some of the more cautious tasted
them in silence, but one fellow, who
was especially hungry and fretful,
bolted whole mouthful, and spring
ing to his feet, shouted in his disap-
pointment, Great heavens, how -
salty these beans are y Then sud-
denly recalling their agreement about
the fate of the first kicker, sat him
self down qajs.sstdH 5or-aafnd resumed his
meal with the remark, but then
like them salty"
There was roar from the pOliti-
clans who had gathered around to
hear the conversation, and Beck and
Harris said quietly: 81 guess you
are right. Sawyer; we are pleased
with the Administration, but we like
salt"

Guarding Against Dynamite.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The recent dynamite
explosion in the house of has
demonstrated the fact that under the exist
ing rules governing the admission of
strangers to the galleries and Hobbies of the
houses of parliament, it will be an easy mat
ter Tor ~dNnamiters to convey explosives into
the building during the sessions of parlia-
ment. and cause the death of many of its
members. The government has decided to
adopt more stringent rules regulating the
admission of visitors. Members of parlia-
mrnt in future will not be allowed to intro
duce strangers into the galleries and Hobbies.
The speaker of the house of alone
will have the right of granting tickets of adj
mission to visitors, and he will only issue
tickets to members for their friends after
having received Il weeks notice, so that in
the meantime the antccedents of the pro
posed visitors can be inquired into. Turn

tives will I've posted at each turn-stile to care

Bradlev,s Rumored Retirement.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Feb. 13.-
The rumor has been revived that Judge Bradley
intends to retire and give President Arthur an
opportunity to place a Republican on the SUI
preme bench. Having reached the age Of sew
enty and passed it by several years, he can
leave the bench and receive full pay during the
remainder of his life. Ii he should retire the
president would appoint Secretary Frelinghuy-
sen in all probability. Mr.. Frelinghuysen is now
siXtN-scv.n years old, and in three years could
retire and give the Democrats Il chance to name
his successor. This barter of places would be
more acceptable to the democrats, it is said,
than to have Justice Bradley remain on the
to outlive Cleveland's term. His share in the
electoral unplcasantness of 1876 renders his
prospective retirement especially pleasing tc
Democrats. Among the friends of Justice Brad
ley no confirmation of the report that lie will re-
tire is received. An intimate friend says he
would stay on the bench rather than be a party
to the trade indicated.

The Next Cabinet.

NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Feb. 49,
There continues to be a good deal of gossip
concerning the cabinet, and the indications
are that Mr.. Cleveland has been making con-
siderable progress since his returnto Albany.
There is a growing feeling here tonight that
the movement in favor of ex-senator Thur
man of Ohio may take some definite form,
and that the hero of the red bandana may
yet become a membc OF the administration
One of the states formed here to-day runs as
follows:
Secretary of state, L.. @. c. Lamar Of Missis-
siIppl!; secretary OF the treasury, Dsniel Manning
OF New York; postmaster general, John Quincy
Adams of MassachH~etts; secretary of the i'll.
terror, Allen q. Thurman OF Ohio: secretary of
war, William i. Villas OF Wisconsin; secretary OF
the navy, Frank Jones OF New lianlpshire; attor-
ney general, A. II. Garland OF Arkansas.
OF course it is understood that this slate is
subject to all sorts of changes. Its geo
graphical distribution is said to recommend
it very strongly to the p~resident-elect, and ii
a place could be found i'll it for a representa-
tive of New jersey it is said that it would
prove as acceptable 10 Mr.. Cleveland as any
arrangement which could be made. On the
other hand, there is Il statement from AL

futile, and that MI. Mcdonald is agair

Gen. Jackson was q greater man, if we
