Starr Kings Pulpit.
Boston Post.

bOSUOu fObU.
As I sat last night at the Hollis Street
theater it chanced that my orchestr chai1
occupied very nearly the same relative
position to the stage that the old pew in
which I sat under Starr Kings ministra.
ton held the pulpit. A little study OF
the structure, aided by an inspection Of
the outer walls during one Of the waits,
was necessary to locate the points. The
larger portion Of the space occupied be-
fore by the auditorium of the church is
now absorbed by the stage, and the seats
of the theater now extend over what was
the church entry, the stone steps and the
tagged churchyard. It will not be
many years before the members of the
old church, as it was in the days of it's
prime, will be lost, and they are worth
recalling. The square box pews, white
walled, with simple Gaping of mahog-
any rail and often lined with green mo-
hair damask, were in themselves quaint.
The walls of the church, too in the older
days were dignifed in treatment, and Il
not classic at least an imitation of the
classic in their broad paneling. But the
beauty of the sanctuary was,as it should
have been, in the pulpit and its sur
roundings. The pulpit, high and roomy,
had none of the irreverence Of wooden
platform and reading-desk. OF the
choicest mahogany, wrought in majes-
tic and beautiful form, it gained much by
the graceful sweep of the stairs which
led the way from either side of the plat
form. Above and behind it rose the
most elegant draping of crimson silk
damask, caught back on velvet shields
and surrounded by q crimson covered
cornice. Upon either side of the pulpit
was table crowned with glory Of rays
and borne upon bracket Of an angel
with outspread wings and upon these
tablets were printed the decalogue and
other texts from the bible. In front of
the pulpit stood the white marble font,
carved as Grecian vase, which is clear
in my memory of the picture of Starr
Kings last day in the church. With his
ample robe he decended the stairs and
gathered the silken drapery on his arm
while he moistened his hand and gave
the benediction of baptism to a large
number of his parishioners ere he left
hem for his patri q
His departure in 1869 brought to an end
what was perhaps the strongest and hap
piest pastorate Of the historic church.

Boy Idea Of Boy.

The teacher in one of our intermediate

this without assistance end without any

A Valuable Picture.

In 1863, Immediately preceding the
battle OF Mission Ridge, the well-known
artist, John Antrobus, at the request of
many prominent citizens, went to Chat
tanooga, Tenn, and on the battlefield
painted the first photograph of General
U. 8. Grant. The portrait is full life
size, and was mounted in a massive and
magnificent frame and placed over the
east door of the rotunda of the United
States capitol, where it remained until
congress passed an act requiring the re-
moval of all paintings in the building
not belonging to the government, when
it was taken down and consigned to the
lumber regions of the capitol basement
by the then commissioner of public
works, Mr.. French. Here it was left,
unknown to the artist, amid the dust
and dirt for nearly q quarter of centu-
~, while the illustrious hero whom it
so faithfully represented was receiving
the well earned plaudits Of patriotic
and appreciative country. On the 28th
of August, 1889, the painting was pre-
sented by the artist to his old friend,
W. R. Steele, of Washington, who imme-
diately applied to the custodian, Edward
Clark, architect of the capitol, received
the painting and immediately proceed
ed to restore it. A contract was made
with Professor r. Widenbach, an expert
artist and picture-cleaner, to put it in
perfect order. Under bis skillful hands
the portrait has been thoroughly cleaned,
the frame regilded and mounted with
rich crimson velvet, the canvas newly
lined, and the entire work restored to its
original beauty. It is a painting of
great historic value. Being the first por-
trait ever painted of General Grant,
painted ON the battlefield during his
prime OF life, it is now attracting the
general attention of the citizens, espec-
tally of grand army people. The picture
represents General Grant in the full uni
form OF q Major General with sword by
his side, bareheaded, and surveying the
scene before him with that quiet, calm,
serene manner so typical of the great
soldier.

They Can Go.

Mr.. Jones can enter a room vel
enough, but it costs him the effort of his
life to leave it. When it is time to go he
looks at bis watch and does not see what
time it is. However, he says he must
be going, and then proceeds not to 60
He looks at his watch again, und says,
my, it is very late," and then every
body thinks he is going now surely, but
he isn't. He wants to, but he can't.
He would give something handsome to
be out on the street, but he doesn't know
how to get there. There is tn. door, all
unbolted, and nothing to hinder him,
but still lie stays, and stammers, and
fumbles his hat and looks at his watch
again and again and again. Finally he
cQncocts some falsehood about an urgent
engagement, makes blind and reckless
dash for the door, and-there he is out
on the street, safe and sound, but very
sure that he left a bad impression. As
he quits room 80 he closes q letter.
Having written all he has to say, he
doesn't know how to bring it to an end.
He chews his pen and racks his brain,
and finally shuts his mind and writes in
scrawling hand, Must close to catch
next mail" Miss Jones has peculiarities
also. When she has prolonged call to
the proper limit she rises and adjusts
her cloak. "Must you 60 81 soon, Miss
Jones? Yee, she must, but she doesn't.
She walks toward the door and comes
back to tell story. Again she reaches
the door and stops to ask If it is really
true that so-ald-so j going to be married.
This starts the conversation afresh and
she stays the rest of the afternoon. Oh,
no, no, no, she can't possibly stay to
supper. But she can stand on the porch
and chatter till the supper is cold on the
table and everybody has caught rheuma-
tism from the draught. Like her broth
er, she closes letter just as she leaves a
room. She signs her name and then
adds postscript. After this she writes
across one corner, '.Love to all" On
the folded letter she writes something
more, and finally pens some forgotten
nothing across the face of the sealed en-
velope. It is after a prolonged acquaint
anceship with the Jones family that one
realizes how tiresome good people can
be.

The Leather Bottle, Inn

to the Romans. Everything that
turns up in England and is otherwise un-

Bottle is square, yellow painted little
inn, the second story cf no size what

derson, who recently visited the "Leath-

worse than she did over the questionable
remains of ''The Old Curiousity Shop
in London, and requested as last favor
that her portrait, presented for the pur-
pose, be hung alongside of Charles
Dickens, over the mantle shelf.
I must admit that it was pretty and
quaint room as ever was in, room
that seemed to have been built for cozy
dinners and cheerful freside talks and
the "high-backed chairs of fantastic
shape" were all pure Chippendale, and
were ranged in sedate rows about the
sides of the room, only waiting to be
drawn up to the diningtable to take part
in cheerful and CHEEKY feasting. A plate
of cold ham and veal, the pink and
cream-colored slices appetizingly sand
whiched with pale-green leaves of let
tuce, a glass of barley wine, and brown
bread and cherry tart comprised a lunch
con served by the garrulous landlord,
who had evidently stepped into good
thing when he married the buxom widow
owner of the Leather Bottle" We
spent an hour in the sweet, cool old
church, studying out the fine brasses on
the graves in the charcel, resting pre-
paratory to the fve-mile pull to Gad'a

important railroad land pecisions.

Two very important decisions were rem
dered by Judge Brewer in the United States
court at st. Paul. They will effect the title
Of thousands OF acres OF land throughout
the state. The cases hinge upon the lands
granted to the Manitoba road unQn which
settlers have located. In the case OF the
Manitoba road against C. w. Greenhalgh
and others, and against Charles Wenzel. The
two men settled upQnland onthe st. Vincent
division, the former within ten miles and
the latter within six miles OF the road.
Greenhalgh proved up his claim in 1872
and Wenzel in 1874. The definite location
Of the line was settled in 1871. In 1872,
the secretary OF the interior withdrew from
sale or other disposal the odd-numbered
sections within twenty miles on either side
OF the road. In 1874, the proposed line
had not been completed, and a law was
passed which extended the time allowed
the company for completion until 1875, on
the condition that the company would
recognize the rights OF all actual
settlers on the lands. The court
decided against the railroad com
pany, holding that the land in controversy
belonged to the settlers. The case OF The
Manitoba Road VS.. Ransom Phelps, which
was decided in favor of the defendant, is
somewhat similar to the one above.
Phelps settled upon land now in Dakota,
which, under the land grant OF 1857, be
longed to the complainant. When Mime
sofa became a state the legislature fixed
the terminus OF the road, for which the
grant was made, at the western boundary
of the state. The railroad company
claimed the ownership of the land under
the original grant, but Judge Brewer de
cided against it.
