"HOLD THE FORT, FOR I AM COMING,
BY BENSON j. LOSING.

One of the most stirring and popular
of the Moody and Sankey "Gospel
Hymns and Sacred Songs" is the one
entitled. "Hold the Fort, !" the epigraph
Of which is the Scripture text, "Hold
fast till come" Rev. 2 55.
OF the millions who have sung this
heart stirring sacred song, probably
very few are aware that it was sug-
gested to the author of it, p. P. Bliss,
by notable event in the history of the
late Civil War of the United States.
That such an event did suggest the
theme to the author have unquestion-
ed authority for asserting. The event
alluded to occurred after General Sher-
man took possession of Atlanta in
Georgia, at the beginning of Septem-
Der, 1854, and was struggling to main
tain the great advantage he had OBJ
tanned.

The Rev. Duncan McGregor, OF
Brooklyn, preached sermon the other
day from the text: "And the same hour
there was great earthquake and the
tenth part OF the city fell" He endeav-
ored to convince his somewhat dubious
hearers chat the earthquake was not an
unmixed evil. He pointed out that in the
geological formation of the earth these
seismic disturbances had been of much
service, molding and faehioning the crust
of the earth as housekeeper works the
crust of pie.

The Evangelist on Congregation
alist Belief" That the pagan world lies
at present and has always lain, under the
condemning wrath of God, in conse-
quence of its spiritual corruption and re-
volt from him, has been from time i'm
memorial part of the Congregational
creed. That this doctrine is still pri-
NAL and positive element in Congrega-
tional belief, broadly viewed we have seen
no reason whatever for doubling; and the
sweeping denial of this fact, made by one
OF the advocates of the new dogma, will
rank as one of the most remarkable in the
history of Christian theology"

Our pleasant neighbor, the Ad
UG1ace, in its issue Of the I'd inst, rolls up
its sleeves and squares off at Andover
seminary at time when most people
would consider the weather too hot for
that kind of bodily exercise. 1t didn't
open its mouth until the friends of An
dover struck at the American board
though why the theology of Andover
wasn't as bad long before that nerve
less blow was struck as it is now, we
can't see. 1t isn't any of our business
to see. Let it suffice that the Advance
is now "as sound as NUT" and Gas right
as trivet." But it tells this hard story of
Andover without giving dates: One of
its professors, referring to the New Tes-
lament miracles, remarked that "intelli-
gent Christians" referring, we suppose,
to those in some of the chairs of Andover,
long since relegated these stories to the
same category as that of Jonah and the
whale - and then rejected the category.
This is substantially the story told by our
sprightly and now orthodox neighbour
The Interior.

Ben Perley Poore, in his gossipy
book, says that Daniel Webster inveria-
bly, got "stuck" when he attempted to
quote Latin in his speeches in the Senate,
and that "when Mr.. Everett was in the
Senate he used invariably to appeal to
him." Mr.. Poore's memoirs evidently
needed better memory in their con-
struction. Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Everett
were never in the Senate at the same
time.

The advertisements in some of tho
English Church papers often unwilling
iy throw food CO light OF the habits of
thought and daily life of the English
clergy. Here is one, for instance, taken
from the Church Bells, which reveals a
state OF affairs almost impossible to I'M
derstand in this country. 1t reads as fol-
lows: "A poor clergyman who had been
engaged for years is very anxious to
marry almost Immediately, chiefly for the
sake of the lady, who is in unhappy sur
roundings at present, but lacks sufficient
pecuniary means to enable him to do 80.
He urgently needs 95 at least, and hav-
ing no other resource, reluctantly makes
this appeal to public sympathy. He feels
sure there are many who would be glad,
as thank Offering for their own happy
married life, to send him such large or
small sums as they can afford. Highest
references, if required" One pities such
man, but it is pity largely mingled
with contempt. 1t is difficult to believe
that such helpless manikins can really
occupy responsible positions in one of the
greatest religious communions In the
world.-Netv York Tribune.

Some churches, remarks the Chris
tian Life, London, are troubled with
groaners and some with gigglers. We can
not tell which is the greater nuisance.
An eminent minister recently said of the
latter: "Giggling is described in the die
tionary as the act of laughing with short
catches of BREATH as laughing idly, tit.
tering, grinning.' 1t is silly and childish
enough anywhere, but in church it is
abominable, and yet there is no place
where giggling is more common. 1t is nat
ural in school giTls, but when met in
young women OF nineteen or twenty it is
objectionable. 1t is frequently charac.
teristic OF young men with incipient
moustaches, who think they qualify them
selves for manhood by affecting con-
tempt for what their elders revere. They
giggle at anything. If they catch the
eye of an acquaintance, they giggle; il a
woman rises too soon for hymn, they gig
gle; il baby cries, they giggle; if some
one drops book, they giggle; if the cler-
gyman coughs, they giggls; if the plate
Is handed to some one who puts nothing
in it,ssthey giggle; il some one near them
sings out or repeats the responses louder,
they giggle; if the choir makes mistake.
they giggle. In fact, nothing is too small
or insignificant to arrest their notice and
produce giggle"

report that he is about to join the Catho-

Lounsbury and Buckingham.


 When MT. Buckingham was made Govern or he had no more than a local reputation. He was known as a manufacturer of rubber goods, man of some prominence in the Congregational denomination and useful and public-spirited citizen. Judging from that which is said of MT. Lounsbury by those who know him best and have known him for many years he is man of the Buckingham type Like Buckingham he had business training and enjoyed successful business career. He holds the same high place in the esteem of his fellow townsmen that Bucking- ham had among his. He is as prominent in the Methodist denomination as Buckingham was in the Congregational. He has for years been liberal contributor to the struggling Methodist churches in all sections of this State His benefactions and charities have been on generous scale, but they have been unostentatious. There is no blemish on his career as a citizen or business man. Tho best and most conclusive answer that can be made to the charges that are brought against him by anonymous contributors and partisan opponents is found in the record of an hon orabe life.

WHAT IS THE SEA SERPENT.
A Scientific Statement of What We Know and Donst Know About It.


 | A Scientific Statement of What We Know and Don't Know About 1t. | From the Providence Journal.1 Twice within a few days parties of observ CTS whose trustworthiness is beyond question, and in one case including gentleman of such equable and conservative mind g Boston schoolmaster may be presumed to
 possess, have reported the appearance near Cape Ann of what, in deference to an estab-
 lished phrase, they are pleased to call "the
 sea serpent.' The account they give is sub
 stantially the same as annually finds it's way to
 public notice, and is likely to be received in
 the same spirit of levity which these narratives
 have always encountered. An attitude of
 frank unbelief toward all stories that smack of the salt water seems to be an ineradicable
 peculiarity of the mind. A ''fsh story" is sy-
 nonym for falsehood the world over; and indeed in the court of public opinion every man who tells tale of sights at sea is pre- stunned to be liar until he is proved innocent. The person, therefore, who has the temerity to state that he has seen the sea serpent neY- CT quite regains his old position in public es- teem: to have chanced to observe an unfam iliar marine animal ''swiftly undulating along a quarter of mile to leeward" is violation of the proprieties which one can hardly hope to live down. This state of things may be only one phase of the general indisposition of man to acknowledge that others have seen what circumstances have concealed from his own sight, but at all events the so-called sea serpent, whose persistent reappearance may be regarded as pathetic attempt on it's part to prove it's own existence to skeptical world, is either jeered by the paragraphist or silently relegated to that region of myths over which Munchausea and Sinbad hold sway.
 l But even Sinbad's tales, when read in the l light of modern science, are readily interpre- table in many cases as distorted and magni- | fed versions of actual facts. And, in much the same way. beneath the exaggerations and 1 absurdities with which different observers

 A good deal of progress has been made toward converting wild Indians into land owners. By treaties already existing the common lands of 8 large number of tribes can be apportioned in severalty upon their consent. Among these are the South ern Utes of Colorado, the Yankton, Devils Lake and Great Reservation Sioux of Dako- ia, the Shoshones and Banhocks and Neg Perces of Idaho, the Kiowas and Co., manches of Indian Territory, the Crows and Flatheads of Montana, the Navajos of New Mexico and Arizona, the Grande Rondes, Klamaths, Umatillas and Warm Springs of Oregon, and the Arrapahoes and Shoshones of Wyoming. The work of allotment already accomplished has been among the Chippewas in Wisconsin, Michi- gan and Minnesota, the Sioux of the Crow Creek reservation in Dakota, and the Sioux of the Santee, Omaha and Winnebago reser- vations of Nebraska. There have been issued in ali to Indians II ,763 land patents, 1,376 certificates and 930 allotments without pa tents or certificates. The work could go on much faster but for the backwardness of the government surveys and the lack of funds to push them forward.

IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The political situation in the Third con gressional district of this State is decidedly interesting. In accepting the Republican nomination for Congress two years ago Col onel John T. Wait, who has we'll represented the district for more than ten years, an nounced that he would not accept a renom- ination. There has been for a long time a strong feeling throughout Windham county that that county ought to be allowed to fur nish a congressman after having heartily supported New London county man for twenty-four years. But it has appeared that Windham county was not united in behalf of any resident of that county, and so Colonel Wait has repeatedly carried off the prize. This year, however, the Windham county Republicans are practically united, and Col onel Charles A. Russell, of Killingly, is their man. Colonel Russell is Secretary of State and has also served in the general assembly of the State. He is a man of marked ability and irreproachable charac- ter, and would make an efficient member of Congress- The Windham county Transcript thus explains the sentiments of the Republi- cans of the county: The whole public throughout the district have had time for consideration and reflection, and as yet his fitness and availability have not been so much as questioned in any quarter. The delegates appointed in the different towns in this county so far as known to us, are men of sterling worth, nominated by a spirit of loyalty to the principles they profess and the county they so worthily represent. They will stand shoulder to shoulder with a candi- date as unsullied and clean as was ever pre- sented to a political convention; with 6 county united and strong; with claims so just and reasonable that they have nowhere been disputed-and they will press upon the assembled convention duty that cannot be safely longer delayed.
 In New London county there appears tc be a difference of opinion concerning the matter. The Norwich Bulletin has earnest ly and consistently advocated the renomina- ton of Colonel Wait, but the New London Day recognizes the justice of the claims ot the Windham county Republicans, and says that there is disposition on the part of many of the New London Republicans to recog- nize it. And it also says concerning the Bulletins advocacy of Colonel Wait: We presume that it has done so without his con- sent or approval, and that he still stands by his declaration to the last nominating con- vention Nor do we for one moment presume that the efforts which have been made in various towns in the district to secure the election of delegates favorable to Col. Waits renomination have been inspired or even eountenanced by him.
 The convention will be held to-mol TOW, and it now seems probable that Colonel Rus sell will be nominated. As no Windham county Republican hes been nominated fo1 Congress during the last twenty-four years it cannot be said that the Republicans of the county are very selfish in their present request

CURiOSIIIES FOR TRAVELLERS.
Several Things Which Are Apt to Prove Disappointing Gathering

Prove Disappointing - Gathering
 Souvenirs.
 From the London Telegraph
 Among the eccentricities of travel place should certainly be found for examples of what passengers consider curiosities It is impossible to question that very lerge pro portion of the odd things We buy abroad may be had for half the money in the Eng fish manufacturing town from which they are exported. It is of course disappointing that the silver bangles you bought at D'Ur- ban as specimens of native fashion and in- dustry should prove pure Brummagen; that your bundle of assegais should have formed part of recent consignment from Sheffield, and that the elegant Hindoo necklace that you purchased after much bargaining from a wandering Mussulnan, newly arrived at Cape Town from Delhi, should be easily ob- tained at any English jewellers shop, where it is offered as genuine bit of British man ufacture for f2 15s. Sd. less than you paid tha dusky Mahommedan gentleman who de- clared himself s'fraish from Del-hee, sare :"
 It is disappointing I say; but still, though you have been cheated, there is something to show, and then again there is the coloring and the sentiment that even rubbish will take from distance and travel and the asso- citation of far-off places. But what is to be thought of the curiosity -monger who will bring off an old stone from an island sooner than come away empty handeda A German passenger on board the Spartan, finding that there were no curiosities to be purchased at Ascension, filled his pockets with sand and walked up to me with handful of It, ask ing if did not think it ''fonderful?' An other person arrived with several pocket haddkerchiefs loaded with shells distinctly less pleasing and interesting tf an the like common objects of our English seashore, in the quest of which he had ruined a pair of boots, which he told me had cost him thirty five shillings at Port Elizabeth.
 "There was lady," said old quarter master, from whom had caught a grin as the German with his pockets full of sand walked away, "as bought dawg at Madeira, the tiniest, sweetest, most lovable bit of a hanimal as ever she had set eyes on. She kivered it up in basket lined with wool, took the oncommonest care of 1t hup the bay in cold weather, and got home with it safe and sound. When she reached her home she put the dawg on the carpet for her friends to admire; but the females among 'em instantly gives 8 screeoh, apulling up their skirts as they does and jumping on top ot the chairs; for the first thing that their sweetest and most lovable little dawg did was to make for the curtain and run up it, plainly prov ing that it warn't no dawg at all, but rat dressed up to look like sweet and lovable hanimal."
