How to Keep on canniba,..

At meeting of ministers the Rev. Mr..
. Ayres read long paper, In which he argued
that the coming Christian would not use
tobacco. He made many strong points, and
impressed his audience. Unfortunately he
said in conclusion that even cannibals had
sense enough not to eat tobacconized flesh.
They never devoured smokers and chewsrs
~ When this climax was reached a smile
rippled over the upturned faces of the min
isterss Finally one Of the brethren took the
matter up. He said that he had been in
doubt until he heard the story about the
cannibals. If it was mans duty In tirnes
Of peace to prepare for war, it was Just as
much his duty to guard himself against can
nibals sEhA exigeneies of missionary work
or business might at any time require man
2 TO visit Africa or Patagonia. He would run
the risk OF falling in with cannibals IT the
tobacco habit would save him from being
eaten, it might also save his life Perhaps
the savages would not think it worth while
to xiii a man who was worthless as an arti-
Gle of focd. As q matter of precaution.
therefore, he thought ii would DO wiss to
stick to tobacco. s4 saa7g s aes7
The meeting broke up in hilarious dis

HOME.
A cloudy sky fills all the Mest.

cloudy sky fills all the west,
And all the east is dark and cold: .
A stranger, tarrying for his rest,
A shepherd gathers in his fold.
To faith all doubling doors unlock;
10 faith there is no foreign flock; az
The cloud, the cold, the darkling dome
Is framed of sunbeams arching home
Rolls yawning black sullen sea,
With savage teeth that glisten white;
The wolves Of water snap, but he,
The faithful, knows tits vain they bite.
For him all winds to havens blow,
And all around him and below
The bowling waves, the billows' foam
Are the still waters flowing home.
Though dark the sky and barred the fold,
And the wreck ieth fathoms deep,
He findeth comfort m the cold,
4 And life in the eternal sleep.
And all things toll to b ring him good,
And rest is in his tumult rude; ig
And all things whisper to him, "Come,
Abide with me, for am home" I'm.

England's New Enfield Martini Rifle.

Epglandss New Enfield Martini Riflc.
Tho new Enfield Martini is to be 040
calibrc, as AGAINST 0.45, the size of the present
Martini. No change is to be made in the
length of the barrel, but the weapon with the
bayonet fixed viii weigh 10 pounds ounces,
as against 10 pounds. The breeeh action re
mains unaltered but there is an addition in
the shape of q safety bolt to prevent the
trigger falling. There are also one or two
minor alterations In appearance, however,
the rife is much altered, for the thick end Of
tho barrel, or nearly IS inches, is incased with
wood. so as to enable the soldier to retain his
grin when the rifle becomes heated in action.
The fore end of the stock has been thlnned
awav and grooved from underneath the rifle,
/ to prevent rain from lodging between the
barrel and tho stock To give a little less
straightness to the butt the breech block Is
also attached at more acute angle than
formerly. Tho bayonet, in place of being at-
tached to the side, is now to be placed under
the barrel to assist in keeping it down during
the act of firing. T At last we are TO have a
solid drawn metallic cartridge case 1t VIII
contain IS grains Of powder and a bullet
weiahing SS4 grains. Furthermore these
cartridges, for the first time in the service,
are X, lso of hnifois.l shape and size, SO that
they can be used for rifle. carbiile, on machine

THE BACK BAY CHANNEL.
What Will Be Done by the Govern
ment Next Year.

1t will be remembered that at the last ses-
sion of Congress an appropriation was made
for the work of dredging ship channel in
Back Bay. Early this fall orders were re-
ceived at the United States Engineers Office
in this city for beginning operations and
during the first half of October survey was
made under the direction of Major Smith.
preparatory to advertising for bids for the
work. Surroundings and measurements
were made to determine the extent of the
work and behring's sunk to ascertain the ma
ture OF the material to be removed After
the survey was completed it was necessary
to prepare the drawings and compile estim-
ates of the work to be done. This is now
nearly completed and Major Smith expects
to advertise for proposals for the work with
in the next two weeks.
The plan proposed to be carried out en-
braces the dredging of a channel 800 feet
broad extending from Tukey's bridge up the
bay. The amount available at present for
the work is about $4,000. 1t is intended to
begin operations by dredging channel fifty
feet broad and carrying it parallel with the
Marginal Way to point about half way be-
tween the wharf at the foot of Franklin
street and the upper termination of the way,
a distance of about 1000 feet. The channel
will be distant 200 feet from the Marginal
Way and have depth of twelve feet at low
water Major Smith proposes to leave it
optional with the contractor whether oper-
atoms shall be begun this winter or the be-
ginning of next summer. The material to
be removed consists of hard clay with a
thin layer of mud on the top. Usirg one
steam dredge, the channel could be com
pleted in about five months.

Last evening the Veteran Association of

The Congregational Club.

The Portland Congregational Club met at
the Preble House last evening, and after
bountlful repast enjoyed an excellent pro-
gramme at the hands of Rev. s. l.. Loomis,
Lecturer on Sociology at Andover Seminary.
and Rev. Smith Baker, of Lowell.
The growth of London was treated in a
most instructive manner by Mr.. LOOMS, who
showed us city of 100000 people, more
than the entire population of Sweden, or of
Ireland, or Holland, or Canada; seven Lon
dons would fill France, and eleven would
hold all the inhabitants of the United States.
The causes of recent aecelerations of
growth were found in the steam engine.
which has revolutionized work, and the pro-
duction of wealth; the railways bringing a
city into close connection with large pro-
ductive area. And in the change in agricul-
tural methods which have depopulated coun-
try districts, and everybody goes to the
cities, which are now growing twice as fast
as the country. Our aim should be. not to
check the growth but to quench the iniquity
of cities.
Rev. Smith Baker then discussed in his
happiest vein Congregationalism and the
masses. Congregationalism has culture
wealth, polity, theology, and consecrated
men and women, but it has failed to reach
the masses. How shall this be remedied?
We must know neither rich people nor poor
people, but the people. We must be congre-
gational; be democratic. We must change
our style of preaching. No new departure /;
stick to the old gospel; but we must adapt
the hours of worship to the convenience of
the people, and then preach to the average
man. Give him the best that's in your
brain, and the hottest that's in your heart -
After brief addresses from Messrs. Holt of
Nebraska, Root of Auburn, and Howe of
Lewiston, the club adjourned.
Eight new members were nominated, and
it was voted that the next meeting be held on
the evening of Forefathers' Day, and that it
be ladies' meeting. The club has never
been more prosperous than now.
