THE CLIFTON CLARION,
 wEDNEsD4 H MAY s1s, 1885.
After the morning service


 After the morning service in the Church of St. Bartholomew the Great in London on the Sd ult- an ancient bequest was car ried out by the rector and church wardens, by whom twenty-one new sixpences were placed on tombstone in the old churchyard, and were picked up by an equal number of poor widows belonging to the parish. This quaint GUS tom has been maintained from a period long anterior to the Protes- tant reformation. The name of the benefactor has been lost. An other ancient Good Friday custom was observed at Allhallows church, Lombard street, where, in accord ance with the will of Peter Sy- monds, which dates so far back as the year 1856, sixty of the younger boys of Christ's hospital attended divine service in the morning, and afterward received a new penny and a bag of raisins.

Poor old Dr. Burchardl His famous speech on rum, Romanism and rebellion" has driven him to the wall. The republican members of the church who charged him with defeating Blaine withdrew from the soceity, and it finally be- came necessary for the church board to ask for the old gentle mans resignation to save the so- ciety from ruin.-Chicago News.
 This shows how dangerous it IS for a protestant minister to say anything to hurt the republican party. He may hammer the dem ocratic day and night and it is all right. But let him say a word against the Republican party, and there Is trouble in the camp at once. Republicans are so tolerant, you know. Democrats have listened to republican preach CTS for twenty-five years, and repub- hcans have thought it IS all right. But when the tables are turned, and a word is sad that makes for democracy, then there Is an outcry at once.

ADying Woman and Her Children.

From the Manchester tEns.) Courier.
 A member of the Society of Friends living at Settle, in Ora ven, had to take long journey to the borders of Scotland. She left her family, consisting of a boy and two girls, aged respectively ', 6 and 1, behind. After an absence of three weeks, and when on her homeward journey, the Quakeress was seized with illness and died at Cockermouth. The friends at whose house the event occurred, seeing the hopeless nature of the attack, made notes of every cir cumstance attending the last hours of the dying wife and mother.
 One morning, on the nurse at Settle going into the sleeping room of the children, she found them sitting up in bed in great excitement and delight, crying out: Mamma has been here;" and the little one said: "She called, Come, Esther" Nothing could make them doubt the fact, intense ly visible as it had been to them, and it was carefully noted down to entertain the mother on her speedily-expected return home.
 That same morning, as she lay on her bed at Cockermouth, she said: T should be ready to go if l could but see my children" She then closed her eyes, it was thought to open them no more; but after ten minutes of perfect stiffness she looked up and brightly said: q am ready now; I have been with my children" and then at once peacefully passed away When the notes were com pared, the day, the hour and mir ute were the same.

Asaeriean syInpathies in the s :AnglO-Russia War.


 . A.aerican synpathies in the 1 ! -:AnglO-Russian War. From the New York Sun.
 The following remark was made by one of the clergymen of New York in the course of sermon last Sunday.
 Should there be war between England and Russia, it is impossi- ble that the sympathy of this coun try should not be with England. We may not forget that in our time of need England did us in justice, but we cannot forget that in her veins runs the blood of our forefathers.
 Even if the Americans generally were of English ancestry, it would by no means follow that their sympathies would be with England as matter of course and because blood is thicker than water. The memories of the Rev olution and of the latter war with England have not yet faded away, and the course of England during our Civil War did not tend to make us more affectionate toward her.
 But a very large part of the American people have no kindred ties with England whatever, and no English blood flows in their veins. Even before the Revolu- ton the number of colonists of other races was actually and pro portionately great, while of the thirteen or fourteen million i'm migrants we have received during the present century four-fifths have come from other countries. Ireland alone has sent two or three times as many citizens as we have obtained from all the rest of Great Britain combined; and the Irish i'm migrants are, of course, generally hostile to England. Certainly, millions of Americans of Irish descent look on England as their hereditary foe, and would rejoice at her humiliation.
 The Germans, the Scandinav1ans and the Italians, who have made up so great part of the immi- grants, have no attachment to England and no tender regard for its interests. They do not look upon it with pride and veneration as the home of their forefathers, though coming to America, they learn to speak the English tongue.
 The children of these immi- grants, not of English blood, are very strong in their American patriotism, but they do not ac- quire any affectionate regard for England. The great English speaking race Tn which they take pride is that of the United States.
 If, therefore, the sympathy of our people should be with England in a war with Russia, it will not be because England is the land of their forefathers, but because they think its triumph will most conduce to the advancement of civilization and the continued elevation of the human race.

Why He Wept.
From the Texas SIftings.

From the Texas Siftings.
 A San Antonio darky was on trial for stealing money from a house on Soledad street. Julian Van Slyck, the attorney for the prisoner, in his address to the jury said.
 "Gentlemen, my client is poor man. He was driven by hunger and want to take the sum Of money. All that he wanted was sufficient money to buy bread, for it is in evidence that he did not take the pocketbook containing $500 that was in the same bureau drawer. If he was a professional thief he would have certainly taken the pocketbook."
 The eloquent attorney for the accused was interrupted by the convulsive sobs of his client.
 "Why do you weep?" asked Judge Noonan, who was on the bench.
 ''Bekase I didn't see dat ar pocketbook in the bureau drawer" {" was the reply.
 Everybody laughed except Van Slyck, the attorney for the defense.

The Nogales Frontier conveys the information that Gov. Torres has returned from the City of Mexico empowered by the gen eral government. to subdue the Yaquis or exterminate them. When 1t is remembered that few dozen of Apaches kept the State of Sonora in almost a state of abject terror for years, and made food for the buzzards of most of the Mexican valientes sent to whip them; and when itois further remembered that as fighters the Yaquis are as much the superior of the Apaches as the king of beasts is of the jackal, the bom- bastic threat of the governor of Sonora affords food for merri- ment. There are at least 5000 Yaqui warriors, to which will be added their natural allies, the Mayos; for the latter have sense enough to perceive that the sub jugation of the Yaquis means the

 The entire force of 5000 5Men is well armed, has plenty of ammunition and is fighting in as holy a cause as men e'er died for their homes and fresides. Added to this they have the sympathy of nine-tenths of the Mexicans in Sonora, and the entire sympathy of all classes on this side of the frontier. The sympathy spoken of as existing in this community is so real, that it would be no diff fieult matter to recruit men at any moment to go to the ald of the Yaquis against their oppressors. As the Record has previously stated, the pretense of compelling the Yaquis to cenfine their farm ing operations to their reservation is but an excuse to attempt to wrest their lands from them.
