the title of the First Methodist church,
but it was always popularity known by
the profane as 'tie old eel pot"
Among its leading members was Belah
Lord, a prosperous timer and stove
dealer, who also occupied high posi-
tons in the city government and in the
local Odd Fellows lodge. Lord was
also u member of the crack military
company of the city, being a sergeant
in the Grays, or Company +, rs the
company is now known in the Second
regiment of the state.
In 1886 the Grays gave a military
ball in the old Pavilion hotel, and
among the attendants were Lord and his
cousin, Mrs. MorehOuse. Both were
members of the First Methodist church,
and, in common with the peculiar be-
liefs then held by the Methodists,
looked upon dancing as a particularly
sinful amusement. Conscienliously
acting on this belief, both Lord and
Mrs. Morehouse refrained from dane
ing, and merely attended the ball rs
spectators. 1t became noised about,
however, that they had attended the
ball. and a council vas called by the
Rev. Herman Bangs. then pastor OF
their church. The pastor, acting as a
moderator, called to his aid Amos Ba-
ker, Newton Wheeler, CIV Hotchkiss,
and Stephen Gilbert. The trial was
conducted at great length, and excited
much interest throughout the city.
Despite the prote stations of Judge Ba-
ker, and the plea for mercy by the &C
cused persons, they were convicted
and expelled from the church. Guy
Hotchkiss, n of the judges who clam
ored loudest for their expulsion, had
himself made a considerable sum by
letting military decorations for the
identical ball.
The trial was soon nicknamed by
some wag as The Iuquisition," and
has ever sincs borne this significant
appellation. From the prominence Of
the judges and victims, I'll well-known
residents Of this city, the affair has
long survived the death of its principal
actors. And III tho archives of some
Of the older families of this city there
may still be seen copies of a humorous
dramatization Of ''The Inquisitiou Of
1885," which was supp sed to have
been written by the Rev. DR.. VIM. T..
Vibberts, now OF fair Haven.

The American HuLane Association
offers the following suggestions rela-
tive TO fowls, horses and cattle TO per-
sons having these in charge in the
northern latitudes, during the winter
months.
Do not compel domestic fowls to

being captured by owls and other me

watch they are sitting will prevent
them from getting rest; while in SO.
verely cold weather, thus exposed,

siblo for it TO be OF much profit on
the farm. Securely sheltered from
wind and storm ANA allowed TO Sit on
a. abroad roost, feet are thus kept warm.

S much stronger, healthier and more
profitable to its owner.
Do not clip horses during the winter
months. With tn same prCpriety we
might cut tho hair from u dos or shear
a sheep at this season or lhe year.
The argument in behalf of the
practice is that the horse in %perspira-
ton will dry more quickly if the
hair is short. If theanimal is thorough

driven, 10 danger results from per-

style. Blessed is the ordinary work
horse, in the winter time, for, however
much it may perspire, it is allowed to
carry its full growth OF hair during
the cold weather.
Do not leave cattle to stand shi err
ing, while extremities often freeze, in
the snow storms and severe winds Of
winter, when a little time would suf-

EX-SENATOR Chrisstapcy.

New York letter in Philadelphia
Press: Poor Christiancy! His cleo.
ton was the unmsking Of him. II his
Washington career could be blotted
out Of las lie it would leave his record
as upright and stainless as any mans
in Michigan, and be would be still a
power in his home. Instead Of that, I
am told ho goes abou: tho little town
of Lansing, where he lives, almost un-
noticed by men who once sought his
company, and is existing on the slight
pittance that comes Of a country law

that vercarae him a few years ago.
Before he went TO the Senate he was a
great power in Michigan. he had
risen from an insignificant country
lawyer until ne reached the Supreme
Bench there, which at that time was
sadly in need OF u man of character.
uprightness and learning. MIR. Chris
tiancy had all these qualities. and his
decisions did nor to make the Michi-

city, while he plods on amid the scenes
of his youth in the vain hope of some
day retrieving a wrecked career.

The LyOn'H q

Troy, N. Y, Times: There is a
young person in New York who is in
one of the most peculiar and unpleas.
ant positions on record. The express
sion young person. is used advised
ly, as the legal sex of the individual is
in grave doubt. William Lyon is Ger.
tsinly a manly name, and has nothing
about it which should suggest any
question as to the sex of the owner.
William Lyon is about 20 years OF age,
strong, healthy and masculine. Never
theless, William was registered years
ago on the health records as a girl.
This may seem, at first sight, not an
important blunder. The fact that
he is so registered has had no
effect on his general appearance; he
doesn't wear a bang, chew taffy-tolu,
or say ''~toolovely for anything twenty
times a day. He seldom giggles. ne
doesn't wear shoes two sizes too small,
ho wouldn't know how to put on a
hustle if he were presented with one.
In spite Of this overwhelming mass Of
evidence the law says he is u girl. This
is a blow to Williams pride, and has
been q terrible disaster to hi, pocket
book. There is some pension money
coming to the son of his mother. The
records say she hasn't a son. and there
fore the pension can't be paid. This
is hard on all parties cOncerned-ex-
cept the government. Mrs. Lyon has
endured a boy for twenty years. She
has seen him bring mud into the par
furniture; she has heard him howl with
pain, whoop for joy, grumb!e if the
blckwheat cakes didn't suit him;
she has known him to tight with play
mates in the backyard, tie firecrackers
to the neighbours dog, pepper pet cats
with bird shot, etc. Still the law rises
in its glorious majesty, in its unques-
toned justice, strong in its ancient
parentage, proud of its musty prece,
dents, aud says in tones Of thunder:
MRS. Lyon, your boy is q girl, and
you cannot have that pension money
There is something magnificent about
the law when it rises in its might and
says white is black. In this cas- it
asserts that Mrs. Lyon was more ! able
" make q mistake about the sex # her
child than the Q ,order was to make a
$40. zeal b~lunder. 1t goes farther. 1t
now says that the powerful evidence
William Lyon can bring forward to
prove that he is a man is utterly
worthless in face Of the fact that the rec
ord says heis a girl. An old woman was
asked If she really believed in hell fire
"Of coorse | do. l saw it in a book
The law is like the old IN L. be.
lieves William Lyon is a girl because
it saw it in a book" Now. VIVA. is
Mrs. Lyon going to do about itp What
does the city of Troy do when the law
does Mt suit itp Mrs. Lyon will apply
t, the Legislature to determine the
legal status ct her son in regard to sex.
Meanwhile. William ia in a bad spot
and does not know just what to do.
| He, of course, wants to fulfil the law,
but he also wants TO be a man. When
his case ia brought before the Legisla.
ture an interesting discussion will
doubtless result. A new version OF
Irving's play might be written to be
called the Lyons Male"

manner in which they are fed. No
animal cares for a hard, woody or fro

without some preparation. The better
method is to steam them and add
ground grain, but the majority Of
farmers object to the labor of such
proceeding. A root slicer, however.
may be used. by which the turnips may
be sliced. They should then be- GOV

with meal and salt the next morning
and fed. They are, of course. not as
valuable as hay, corn, fodder or grain,
but they serve an excellent dietary
purpose, increasing the appetite and
assisting to keep the animals in good
condition.

An Election Lost by One Hair.

From the Baltimore Her aid: Elk.
Senator Hannibal Hamlin, OF Maine,
recently told how he was defeated by
a single hair when first an aspirant for
the United States Senate in 184i.
When he was Speaker of the House in
the Maine Legislature, William {.
Allen was a member and was note 1 for
the great care with which he combed
his hair. One day, during a dull de-
bate, Speaker Hamlin noticed the
smooth. careful way in which Aliens
hair was done up" so he sent a page
L the gentleman asking him to stop
up to tho Speaker. Allen complied,
and with marked gravity MIR. Hamlin
informed him that one of the hairs on
the top OF his head crossed another.
Allen grew wrathy at once, and de.
clared that he did not come there to be
insulted. Afterward he became q
state Senator and by s%tubbOrnly re.
fusing to vote for Mr.. Hamlin finally
compelled him 10 withdraw.

A little red spot les the brain;
No more Of earthly hopes nor pain!
Around the features calmly close
As peaceful as to nights repose;
But who can tell the agony
That pierced thy life and bade It die'
The morgue, from chilling marble bed,
Pale as thy pallid form that lies
In fretted sheets Of Zee o'erspread,
Which neither cold nor heat uprise,
To cool or warm thy couch of death,
Is silent rs thy silent breath.
Nobody kaows from whence thou came;
Moody knows to whittier gone;
Nobody knows o cares to blame
The grievous Causes Of thy wrong.
NOBODY ? Yes! One knows 1t all
That one who marks the sparrow's fall!
One whom TO curious ciowner's quest
Can summon here to testify;
He knows the causes and unrest
That urged thy tortured heart to die.
He, the Almighty Omniscience,
Knows all about the sad offcnse.
He knows the dark relentless brood
or furies that pursued thy way;
He knows how, manfully withs.ood.
Thou kept them for so long at bay,
Until despair ~o'erwrought thy brain
And nerved thy hand TO make It's stain.
Peace waits thy body In the grave;
May peace await thy soul on high.
Christ gave His life IL death TO save
All men, no matter how they die.
Reserve thy Judgment, mortal; wait
Till all assemble at The Gate.

will strike direct for the CHA river country

fort. Troops are being lightly equipped for
long marches, but largo quantities of pro-
visions and medicines are being loaded,

minutes, and during that time tho gulleys

LUsUS NATUR l. Nellie Drnmmond, a co.,
ored woman living ut Onancock, Accomac
county, gave birth several days ago to a
male child presenting remarkable freak Of
nature. The child has what at first sight
appears TO be two heads. From the back Of
its neck protrudes 81 large sack or bladder
as large az the head, and partially covered
with hair. The child is still living. On eX
animation the sack was found to contain u
watery substance, sligntly tinged with
blood. The doctors say that if the child
lives till August its life can possibly be saved
by cutting off the excrescencc. 1t is said
that the child spoke as soon as it was born,
calling its mother distinctly three times, and
creating great sensation among he coored
people of that region. Large crowds of peo-
pie, white and colored, have gone to the
house to sec tho child. The mother is
widow, whose husband died several months

THE INTERNAL REvENUE.-The House Of
Representatives on Saturday was again &C.
cupied with the consideration of the cleo.
margarine bill and an attempt to reduce the
tax from ten to two cents pound was de-
feated. Mr.. Daniel, Of Virginia, spoke in
advocacy of an amendment, which he
proposed to offer hereafter, abolishing in
ternal revenue tax on tobacco and on fruit
brandy. In the platform of the democratic
party, assembled at Chicago, which nomi-
mated the President now occupying the ex-
ncutivc Office, there was distinct declara
ton ard pledge to abolish war taxes. The
internal revenue system was distinctively a
war tax. Mr.. Daniel expressed his aston.
ishment when BIO saw democrats, who had
pledged themselves to abolish war taxes and
who had placed upon their banners equal
and exact justice to all men," take wide
leap through the constitution and through
the roof, and run three leagues beyond
where the most radical gone-to-seed repub
licanism had ever gone before. Mr.. Daniel
was frequently applauded during the deliv
cry of his speech. Pending action the COM
mittee rose and the House adjourned until
Tuesday.
