PREACHER BEAN.
ArizOna's 5oIlx ReteEate Tal1-
 en for a Gospel Sharp.

dnOdI On DeAeSate bean or ,ArlZond Territory, which is thus told by the Washington correspondent of the Kansas City Times:
 It seems that the Arizona delegate, wto enjoys a wide reputation in his country as a mining prospector and general "grpb stalker" to all the old miners of that section, took notion that he would like to hear Brother Newman preach. Ex-Mayor Er.ory, one of the headlights of tie "Metro- politan church with the chimes at tached," kindly tendssred Delegate Bean tie use Of lis pew and last Sun day he trooped down upon the sexton, accompanied " Mrs. Bean and Mrs. Colonel Baker and his three daugh. ters, introduced himself and request ed to be shown to Mir. Emory's pew. The sexton waited until the church had filled to overhuwing and then, with great impressment, leaded the procession and Marched MT. Beali and his family up through the ais1e tb the front seat ill the synagogue, im- mediately facing he preacher. Broth- CT Newman eyed the AriSo3hia man with great interest and tie latter be-, ., c.tme very uneasy at the scrutiny. Be fore commenitstns tl.e sermon BrotheEE Newman, &&ithout taking his.eyes oa MT. Pean, said: "At this period of the year it is quite likely that many ministers of the gospel and laymen are visiting the Capital al I shall be glad to meet and greet them after the services are concluded" It then flashed across tie mind of the Ar 20. na delegate tEat he had on his "store clothes" and wore white cravat. and that lis effort to look intensely re, spectful and religious, coupled With tie fact that lie WAS Occupyiig ex- Mayor Emory's pew, had been con structed by Brothcr Newman and the 1 sexton to indicate that he was cler- gyman from abroad. This naturally distracted Mr. Beans attention from the sermon and he wished himself well out of the scrape a thousand times. 1t tast tie service were roI cluded and ths doxology rendered, but observing that Brother Newman'e aIgle eye vas still fixed upon him and escape vas practically impossible, he concluded to run the gauntlet and explain the evident mistake. So he went forward to the preacher an in troduced himself and his good folks about as follows: "T am Mir. Pean, oi Arizona; this is Mrs. BeLn and Mrs. i Colonel Baker; these are my daugh- l ters." "You are & long way from home," re ,,lied Brother Newman, shaking hands ali rround.
 "Whcre do you live in the Terri, tory?" 1
 "At Prescott" replied MT. Bean.
 "Ah." reioined Brother Newman, you have fine climate there; have you large congregation worshipping at your church?
 About 3$3 members in good fellow | ship attend our church." replied MT. l Bean; "but I am not the pastor; I ani l not clergyman." 1
 "Ah, indeed" eiacuiAted Brother [ Newman, and look ot disappoin ment mantlsd his face. Permit lie to express m} regret. You would certainly be taken for clergyman anywhere"
 Brother Bean withdrew his forces in as good crdeI as possible aud re- treated safely tu his home. As soon as the family re-established itself uu- der its own vine and fig tree, 1t oc- cured to Ms. Bean to ask her hus- band why he had not informed ] Brother Newman that he was a meni- Der of Congress.
 'Do you think.' replied Mir. Bean, II was going to tell RIotHeF Newrhaa that l was nothing but q Territorial delegate, without 3 vote5 aEd the identical man wko intrcdGced the coz nnA [
