City Mission Meeting.


 The city mission meeting held yesterday at the Davenport church was very success ful one. Members of five churches were present, together with Rev. MT. Meserve, Rev. MT. Mossman, Rev. MT. Bissell and also Rev. MT. Hutchins of West Torrington, Ct., who was formerly engaged in the missionary work of this city. Reports were made of mission work done in three sections of the Sixth ward, including nine different squares. The visitors were almost everywhere well re- seived and in many instances invited to call again. In one section of three squares forty families were found without any Christian care. Those not attending church are invit ed to come to any of the churches for which they express preference and the pastor or some of the people of any church selected are notified in order that strangers to our churches may be welcomed there. Wherever people are found iu temporal need word is sent to the board of charities for relief. The plan of work includes the constant Christian care of any section once taken, with pastoral care by the city missionary of any families not yet wishing to attend church but willing to have him call upon them at their homes.

 MT.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I have been 8 subscriber of the JOURNAL AND COURIER about ffty-fve years and shall not desert you as long you stick to your present position in regard to the labor ques- tion. It is bad enough for man to be met by 8 highwayman and robbed of his money, but if his business is not disturbed he can go to work and get more; but rob man of his business what has he got left? And it is no consolation to feel that he has been robbed by those that pretend to be his friends. It looks as if the descendants of Judas Iscariot are not all dead yet.

There were bis prisoners, but they were
prisoners no longer. As the Captain
mashed his lantern upon their faces their
irons fell with a clatter to the deck. Beside

more than 20 years old.

the Captain as soon as he could recover
from his establishment.
None fthe party answered, but they be-

of the strangers. Calling upon
his crew for aid, Capt. Vale

aside, and in return dealt the Captain a
blow across the skull with an iron Delay

CONGRESSIONAL FOLLY.
Jokes About Each Other which Amuse
CODgressmen at Washington.

From tho Ne3o York Herald
WASHINGTON, May H.-COnsiderabl
has been written lately about Senator
Harris, of Tennessee, in connection with
the Pan Electric investigation, but the
best thing that is told about him became
current this afternoon. At the house
where be boards, on East Capitol street,
there is said to be small girl. She has
reached the mature age Of years, and
part of her education at the public school
includes instruction in defamation. She
mas a natural inclination to commit short
speeches to memory, and when she hears
anybody conversing rapidly she seizes
upon the idea that they are memOrizing
speech. Recently she went into the par
Tor, as the story goes, and found Senator
Harris holding a very animated CONVEX
satiOn with two visitors. He was dong
all the talking, and the child did not re-
main long. That evening she astonished
her parents by saying:
senator Harris is learning a new
speech"
"Why, how do you know?'
81 heard him to-day"
"What did be say?'
II forget; but be slapped his fist on
the table and said, Damn Casey Young"
GEN. LEE TOO EASY.
Speaking of Senator Harris recalls a
story that Judge Harris, of HarrisOnburg,
Va, tells. Six miles from that quiet
hamlet, during the war, lived an old
farmer named Jonathan Peel. He never
read paper, but came into town once a
week for news. He was confident that
the South would win, and his friends felt
so kindly toward the old man that they
tempered the latest intelligence to suit
him Tho South W
verse, so far as he learned. But when
the word came Of AppOmattOx it was evil
dent that the deception could not be car
ried out any longer. Judge Harris and
his friends held a conference on the sub
iect and decided to plumply tell the old
man the truth. An hour later Jonathan
Peel was seen coming down the road
toward the corner store astride his gray
horse.
What word from our victorious army"
he asked.
"Gen. Lee has concluded to quit"
81 thought them Northern chaps would
soon cry enough" said the farmer,
without the faintest trace of surprise.
"Well, | can't agree with Gen. Lee. He's
dead wrong to let up on them fellers. Got
any plug tobaccoY
The Judge tells this to show that dur
ing the war everybody was not in an ex-
cited frame Of mind in Virginia.
LOOKED AS IF HE MIGHT.
"W mere are you going?" asked Sena-
tor Voorhees, of tired New England Con-
gresham whom he met at railroad sta
tion this morning with gripsack in his
hand.
Ppm going to take run into the coun-
try over Sunday" was the reply. 81 want
TO find some green fields"
Il didn't know but that you we're look
ing for green cloth and green crowd"
retOrted the Senator, as be smiled and
passed on.

A Critic Criticised.


The New York Critic is the victim OF
clever fraud. Not long ago il printed a
poem which was alleged TO have been the
WORK OF Edgar Allen Poe. IL was accom-
panied by piteOus tale relating how that
Poe penned bis poem at rural hotel
once upOn a time when he was in a con-
dition OF maudiin drunkenness. This is
all very touching, but IL is hoax, just
the same. The poem entitled "LeOnainie"
was written by James Whhc0mb Ri
lev about ten years ago, when he was en-
ployed as local editor OF the Weekly DEM
ocrat at Anderson, lad. At that time
Riley was struggling hard for recOgni-
ton, and because he did not succeed at
once he fell into ut OF great disgust aud
inYeighed bitterly against the public for
refusing 10 rec0 snize good work done by
unknown writers. lie had the theory
that, while good work might 90 begging

writer To prove this theory ne wrote

in the kOkomo Dispatch, a neighbOrlng
paper. AS soon as the poem appeared

denounced IL as base forgery, declared
that Poe never could have written IL,
etc. Atthat time the appearance Of the
poem created a sensation IN Indiana, but
did not circulate 10 any considerable ex-
tent outside the state. Now. however,
after a lapse Of ten years, aLd when he
supposed the joke dead and buried long
AGO. Riley has the quiet satisfaction OF
seeing 'sLeouainie" imposed on the most
pretentious literary paper inthe country
and printed all over the land as the work
OF Edgar Allen Poe.
