THE ExCELsIoR.-It is understood that
the steamer Excelsior, which is now at Bal
timore undergoing repairs to her machine cry,
is under charter to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad for the transportation of cars be-
tween Gray's Ferry, Philadelphia, and the
depot of the Reading railroad. II
so the boat will have to un-
dcrgo considerable alterations. Seve-
raj DAYS since, while on her way from Nor
folk to this city, she met with mishap in
the loosening Of her crankpin, and from
which cause her machinery was so much
damaged that it will require about four or
five weeks to complete the repairs.

In Wall street banking house are to bt
seen the biggest account books in America
They average from two feet square to the
bigness of the top of desk, and the most
ponderous is load for an able bodied clerk.
The covers are half ali inch thick, and mate,
rial enough for pair of leather breeches i:
consumed in every one. When ranged In
order in the section of the vault consecrated
to them they present q most magnificent
array. II Goliah were alive and in trade
these would be the books for him. have an
idea that their imposing appearance is one OF
their recommendations 10 favor, though as
sured that their utility is their shief title to
existence.
1t appears, also, that these large and mas
sive volumes are specially calculated for self
preservation. They are so solid and so firmly
constructed that they can resist fire without
the protection of q safe. In an ordinary con-
hagration, where the flames are not allowed
to play too long, these books will pass the or
deal with no worse harm than that their
backs will be converted into charcoal and
their edges scorched, but be otherwise intact
The experiment has been made When pro
tected by a safe they are indeStructible in the
tierceSt flames In the matter of cost they
rival their appearance in magnificence.
Thousands of dollars are expended by the
house in question on its account books Be
fore the war this expense was modestly re-
stricted 10 few hundreds Indeed, when the
house was counted a very prosperous one its
full line of books in daily use cost little more
than one of their Brobdignagian successors.-

WELCOMING THE ELDER.

Reception to Rev. Frank G. Mitchell Last
Eyening-An Auspicious and Significant
Occasion.
The welcome extended last evening, by
the united Methodist congregations of the
city 10 Rev Frank G. Mitchell, the new
presiding elder Of the Springfield district
and his family. was warm one. The af-
fair occurred, and very appropriately too,
at the Central NJ. +. church, which is the
mother church of both the ST. Paul and
High street congregations. The social por-
ton of the programme took place in the lee
ture-roOm of the church and consisted of a
general introduction to the elder and his eS-
timable wife and family. All the three
Methodist congregations were largely repre-
sented. An hour was very pleasantly spent
in general commingling of the congrega-
tions, and then the audience adjourned to
the church above, where the remainder of
the exercises were observed. The church
was well filled.
The programme was so arranged that all
three of the congregations should be repre-

tor of the Central, acted as master of cere-
monies.
A representative of each of the three
churches was assigned to a topic relating
to Methodism, the addresses being so ar
ranged as to follow each other in natural
| sequence. Charles II. Schaeffer, of the
Central, spoke Interestingly upon Early
MethOdism in Springfield" relating some
| very interesting history of the progress of
the faith. Miss Darlington and Mrs. Will
Bushong. of the ST. Paul choir, sang a very
exquisite duet. Judge +. G. Dial, Of the
High Street NJ. F., followed in paper on
Present Methodism in Springfield" that
was replete with interest, es-
pecially TO the followers of the
Wesleyan doctrine. A quartette from
the Central NJ. +. choir sang Come Home,
Spirit, by Warren, very sweetly. The last
address of the three was then delivered by
PIP. Mast, on The Present Needs of
MethOdsm in Springfield" which was also
OF great interest, and prefaced with an evil
dent expenditure of thought Mrs. Mctiib-
bon, Miss Anna Showers, Arthur Kennedy
and Frank ProtherO. of the High street
choir, sang Gloria" by Warren, most ex-
cellently.
DR.. Rust then delivered the address of
welcome. proper, in his happiest vein. and
it proved replete with humor, kindness and
earneStness. Elder Mitchell expressed his
appreciation of the welcome in an earnest
manner, and the reception concluded.
Last nights was purely Methodistic af-
fair. but may be taken as an earnest of the
general spirit of welcome throughout Spring
field toward Rev. Mr.. Mitchell and his fam
lily.

Philosophy of Diet.

To read the domestic annals of the
| close of the last and the early years of the
century brings back the Homeric tales
of the strength and prowess of the heroes
who warrcd on the plains of Troy. No
man of these degenerate days could do
the work Our fathers did who "glOried
and drank deep like those lusty Jam
sehyds. They had, TO be sure, some few
points in their favor that we lack. They
did not need-at least they did not use
those intermittent aids to the agreeable
ness of life that we seem TO find so neces-
sary There were no brandies and sodas,
no sherries and bitters, no 5 O'Clock teas;
they were content with one solid meal in
the day, and they did not put that off till
II was growing time to begin to think
about bed.
And | suspect, the most important
point of all, they took life less hastily
not less seriously, but less hastily. Their
brains were not always at high pressure,
they did not fritter away their minds and
tempers on an infinity of pursuits-pur-
suits of business, and pursuits of pleas
ure. II they did not all attain Words
worth's ''Sweet calm or the wide and
luminous view of Goethe, at least they
did not insist on barring the way to
those blessed goals. This hasty life of
ours, these successive shocks of change
and alarm, this want of rest and leisure,
all act or tend to act iniuriously on the
stomach and then on the brain. 1t is
not only our unwise diet which afflicts
the race with those "dolorous pains in
the epigastrium, which one very learned
lecturer on the philosophy of food asserts
to be the note of this age-and which /
take 10 he glOritied form of the hOmely
stomach ache.-Macmillan' Magazine.

Republicans should turn out Ell masse to-
night to hear the Rev Poindexter, of Co
umbus, at the wigwam. He is one of the
most eloquent colored orators in Ohio, and
his speeches fairly bristle with facts. As a
speaker to his own race he has few equals.
He is careful and logical thinker. and a
conscientious adviser. The colored people
OF the state know this, and his utterances,
therefore, always have great weight with
them.
Senator Thomas J. Pringle. of this city,
will also speak tonight His ability as a
political orator needs no further praise Ia
establish him as one of the finest stump
speakers of the Eighth district Let every
republican turn out and help to make the

A clerk in a furnishing store in Pittsburs
is permitted to tell The Penny Press, of that
city, How to Button Your Collar, and to
assert that mine well dressed men out of
every ten have their collars on the wrong
way" The wrong way, according TO the
statement of the clerk, is in buttoning the left
side first, so that the right side laps over the
former. He claims that the order should be
reversed.
This may or may not be an essential in a
well-dressed man, but it is not half so import
ant in a well-arranged toilet as is the correct
way Of fastening the sleeve cuffs 1t will
hardly be believed that nine out Of every ten,
men or women, invariably button their cuffs
improperly. II the reader will examine his
or her own, ten to one they will be found
wrong.
Now, what is the right wayi Manifestly so
that they will correspond with the ordinary
coat and shirt sleeve; that is, with the upper
or outer portion tapping over the inner or
under part majority Of persons will have
one lap one way and tho other reversed,
while many have both wrong, and only q
very few have 10th right. If anyone doubts
this let him examine the first dozen gentlemen
he meets, and he will find the statement
verified.
The mistake is made in the manner Of plac-
ing the buttons in the cuffs before they are
put on the wrists. They are evidently in
serted in the same corner Of both cuffs, wher
they should be removed, and, of course, when
adjusted one will be right and the other
wrong. This is why greater portion is worn
in this way. 1t is quite as easy to put this
article of wearing apparel on right as wrong,
and no one is properly dressed with oIe cuff
button one way and the other another way.
To avoid the difficulty, place the button just
through the right-hand corner as the cuff is
held up, and the other in the hand corner,
and then, with little care as to which hand
is to be passed through them respectively,
they may be properly adjusted.-Cor. Buffalo

How Capt. Boggs Beat the Redskins
Shooting at a Mark-The Results.
Capt. Boggs, a Virginian, who held cap
tains license on the Mississippi river before he
was of age, and who for fourteen years had
the contract TO supply the military posts in
Utah. Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona
with fuel, tells the following story:
Il was down in the Ute reservation in

them for some time, and then decided to enter
the competition. Each man had three shots
and the man who hit the snag the most times
won the pot. The misses were told by the
splash in the water; the hits by the absence
of the splash.

AN ALLEGED JAIL-BREAKsR.

Nellie Mcclure, supposed TO he Wanted in
Cleveland, Arrested Last Night-Her Col
ored Partner Escapes.
Some days ago Chief Walker was notified
by the police authorities of Cleveland Of the
escape from the Jail in that city of a nOtO-
riOus confidence woman and shop litter. A
description of the woman was given, and
the officers have been on the lookout for
her ever since, as it was thought that she
came in this direction. Last night Officers
Norton, Mast and NicklaS heard that a
strange white woman had arrived here in
company with negro and, learning that
they were at Schwartz's saloon and board
ing house, on the corner of Taylor and Plea =
ant streets. they went there to see them. They
found them without trouble and were at once
convinced that the woman was the one who
was wanted in Cleveland. She. in every
particular, answered the description of the
woman received from the Cleveland author
itieS, and the officers concluded to take both
her and her dusky partner up. They placed
them under arrest and called the patrol
wagon. When the wagon came, instead of
stopping at the saloon, the driver went TO
the patlol box, a short distance away
Officer Norton started ont with the colored
man, and the latter had scarcely touched
the pavement before he was off like a streak
of lightning. He escaped, and Uncle Jim
was almost bored TO death. 1t is not often
that he loses prisoner.
The woman was patrolled to Jail where
she registered as Nellie Mcclure. but this
morning she said that her name was Ella
Cannon. She is as smart as lightning and
refuses to talk about herself. 1t is plain,
however, that she is very uneasy. and the
officers are confident that, even if she
proves not TO be the woman wanted in the
Forest City, she and her partner have been
guilty of some crooked conduct
