Indian Magic--The Celebrated
Mango Tree Trick.

This performance was given by g
renowned South Indian juggler in
the veranda Of the large mess house
in Col"mbo.' Before the conjuror was
worked up to perform this seeming
miracle, he exhibited some sleight-of-
hand marvels. His partner, with the
gourd pipe made a hideous spectacled
"cobra" go through its feats. A
woman Of the troupe was put, tied up
with cords, into basket placed on
the cement floor. She screamed as
sword stabbed through the sides of
her prison. Yet when its lid was
opened she had disappeared, to return
and sit by its side.
At length the renowned conjuror,
with due solemnity, proceeded to his
most remarkable performance He
exhibited dried mango seed to the
spectators, and then planted and
watered it in mound of earth brought
for the purpose. Aided by no sleeves,
dress, or paraphernalia, he waved over
and covered the small plot with silk
handkerchief. When he raised this
for the first time a young shoot with
leaves had appeared. Again the silk
bandanna covered it; again it was
lifted, and disclosed the crisp young
plant putting forth few more leaves
and stalk. All the spectators were
carefully watching and observing the
movements of the great artist. He was
himself tremendously excited, and
when successively with more waves of
the handkerchief the mango tree had
grown in stature to couple of feet
high, with clean green leaves on a
stalk which sprang from the interior
of the stone that was firm with its
roots in the undisturbed moistened
earth, there was a tumultuous burst
of applause. He then handed round
leaves which he broke off the sturdy
little tree. All the beholders declared
this performance most wonderful. and
all sorts of arguments and theories
were started to explain how such a
seeming impossibility could be
effected.

Constitutional Catarrh.

sometimes ALL yield to its destructive influence. The
poison it distributes throughout the system attacks
every vital force and breaks up the most robust of
constitutions. Ignored because but little understood,
by most physicians, impotently assailed by quacks
and charlatans, those suffering from it have little
hope to be relieved of it this side the grave 1t

VIEWS OF THE MINORITY:

Committee on Invalid Pensions, sub
mitted the following as the
VIEWS OF THE MINORITY:
To Accompany Bill H. r. 1851.
The undersigned differs with the
majority only in the conclusion
reached, namely, that the payment of
arrears should be limited to those who
have applied up to the passage Of this
bill. | agree with the majority that
IF a soldier proves disability in
CURED in the service and in line of
duty, he is entitled to be paid during
the whole time of the disability, and
any limitation upon that time is
practical reputation Of a just debt
upon the part of the Government,
well able to pay all it owes And it is
the worst form of reputation, because
it is against those who made it possible
for the Government to pay any of its
debts
And do not see any force in the
that We should fail to do
entire justice to the soldiers of the
country because we do not know what
it will cost. The only question is, is
it right; and, if so, do it without
reference to the cost. This Govern
ment is we'll able to pay all its just
debts and to do full justice to all its
citizens.
| therefore recommend that the
bill be amended as follows: Strike out
of the bill the words land up to the
passage of this act"

1T PAYS TO PRAY.
Sermon of Rev. Father Gibbons at
the Cathedral High Mass.

Father Gibbons preached yesterday at
the cathedral high mass. He spoke
from the gospel of the day: when He
was come down from the mountain a
great multitude followed Him. And,
behold, there came a leper and wor-
SHIPPED Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt
thou canst make me clean. And Jesus
put forth His hand and touched him.
saying. will; be thou clean. And i'm
mediately his leprOSy was cleanSed. ~
the healing of the centuriOn'S daughter.
The reverend father said: We have
just read in the Gospel of the healing of
the ieper and the curing of the centur-
ions daughter. These two miracles 90
to show the divinity of Christ'S mission
on earth. Not only this, it teaches us
also the wonderful power of PRAYER.
Jesus had Just come down from the
mountain when he was approached by a
leper, who said, Lord. if thou wilt.
thou canst make me clean.' This Door.
unfortunate man desired to be made
clean: He had great faith, and, hearing
of our Savior, came to Him and prayed
that he might cure him of leprosy. And
our Savior said to him, ''Be thou clean,"
and his leprOSy was cleanSed.
The centurion, too, was a man of
great faith, kind and affectionate. He
had heard Of the great works wrought
by Our Saviour, but recollected that he
was a pagan and not worthy that the
Prophet of Israel should come to his
house. So when our Lord promised He
would 20 with him and heal his servant,
the centurion said: "IOrd. | am not
worthy that Thou shouldst enter
under my roof; but speak the word
only and my servant shall be healed. :"
Here was faith the like of which our
Saviour said He had not found even in
Israel. The centurion is placed before
us as a model of faith, and the words
uttered by him have been taken ND bv
the church and uttered thousands of
times by the ministers of God before
partaking of the blessed eucharist.
We have no surer way to have our
petitions granted than by relying on
the infinite power of God, who will
grant them in His own good time. 1t is
only when sinners acknowledge them
selves
UNWORTHY OF HIS GRACE
that God grants them favors. We see
this in the parable of the prodigal
son who, returning home peni-
tent. said: Father, | have
slnned against heaven and
before thee and am no more worthy to
be, called thy son; also, when St. Peter
said to our Lord: depart from me. for
lam too unworthy sinner" God is
too tender hearted to resist such pet;-
tiOns. Prayer is the most powerful
means to obtain Gods favor, and when
everything else proves unayailing it
succeeds. Very often we are tempted
to distrust in prayer because the favor
asked for is not granted. If our prayers
are not heard il is through, lack of
sincerity and faith Oh our part. Amen,

A Chapter on Tramps.

Tramps, after all, are very much like
tramps. There is certain bond that
ties us altogether. True, he will not
work, and when we are asked to take
OF our own flock and of our own herd to
dress for the wayfaring man that is
come in unto us, we say with the
apostles: ''That if any would not work
neither should he eat And yet do
not'blame him very sorely for not desir-
ing to work. / do not work because /
love to toll, and labor, and perspre, and
ink my thumb. l work because | have

cursed for my family'S sake, so that
thorns and thistleS grew up with the
papyruS plant. and ink and tears came
in together; aid as my great grand
father, since deceased, was a tramp,
and went out of Eden to sleep under
the trees and eat his bread in the sweat
of his face, even So have the rest OF the
family been strangers and sojolTners,
as were all our fathers; cur days Oh the
earth are as shadow, and there is none
abiding" ''for here have Eve no con-
tinuing city, but we seek one to come -

for it, even as her sister, sitting under
the wayside hedge to rest. worketh the
cottages along the road for "brOken
vittleS."
| have seen the man tramp come all
the way from England, ana tramp up
and down the iron highways of this
land that floweth with fame and money,

Yes, have known tramps who wan
dered about this land from HobOken, N.
j., to Tombstone, AriZ., seeking for an
easy pulpitin rich church, with an as
siStant pastor to do all the work.
| have listened to the noise of tramps
who wandered up and down for meat,
crying i'll the ears of the people, ''Oh,
that had in the wilderness, which is
called Congress, a lodging place of way
faring men, that / might rest from my
labor all the days of my life, and wax
fat and kick" And when he goeth to
congress and draweth his fat salary and
commanded his secretary to write him

question, doeth he any ''work?" Oh,
my dear friends, the country is full of
traInps, who have three changes of raj
ment, like Berry Wall, and fare sumpt-
uously every day; they toll not. neither
do they spin, but they rake in the shek-
els and flourish as magnificently as a
green bay tree. And there be few of
US, indeed, who love to work, and who
would work 317 days in the year unless
we were driven by dire necessity.

A BEAR DEFIEs A TRAIN,
And it Was Good Thing For the
Negro That Bruin Did So.

There are good many bear stories
going the rounds nowadays, but we
have one which actually occurred in
this parish during the present week.
On small plantation mile or TIVE
above Bayou Goula black bear was
seen to have entered turnip patch and
at once proceed to help himself to as
many turnipS as his appetite demanded,
1t is said that colOred man witnessed
the unauthorized levity of Mr.. Bruin,
and determined that he would enter the
patch and drive the invader out. Act
ing upon the impulse, he Immediately
entered the Enclosure and started in
Bruins directions. AS soon as the mans
presence became known to the bear he
discontinued his vegetable repaSt with
the evident intention of embellishing it
with meat, and with ears thrown back
and head erect he started toward the
son of Ham with the apparent intention
OF testing the qualities of his makeup,
says the Iberville Q4a.) South. The
darkey saw him coming, and at
once decided that he did not wish
to drive his bearship from the
field, and rather than attempt it he
would leave the field himself SO he
graciously turned his face in the OPP
pOSite direction and made for the rail
road. The bear appeared to be socially
inclined and willingly followed his Wis
itor, accelerating his speed as he tray
eled. SambO initiated him aud quick
ened his pace. And thus they had it
for sometime straight up the railroad;
run bear, run man, and the devil take
the hindmost. Suddenly the colored
man heard rumbling noise down the
track and knew at once that the night
express train was coming. In short
time it hove in sight, running at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour. When
the train came in sight. the colored man
jumped from the track and continued
his wild flight on the side of it. The
bear also heard the noise, and looking
around saw the iron horse with its red
lights and its terrible wheeling and
putting, rushing madly upon him. He
seemed to lose all thought of the man
and turned his attention to the new foe
which threatened him. Rearing de-
family upon his launches. with his fore
feet extended, he snarlingly awaited the
OncOming train. He hadn't long to
wait, and the pondereus engine, with
its long and heavy-laden train. struck
bold Bruin amidShips and in jiffy sent
him to the happy hunting grounds to
join the members of his family who had
preceded him there. He was skinned
on the spot-by piecemeal. we suppose
and the cOlOred man who had been
racing with him enjoyed slice OF hap
less Bruin for supper.

The First Services Held Yester-
day The Dedication to Come
Later.
The new Central Park NJ. f. church
was opened yesterday morning with
preaching by Rev. DR.. j. E. Smith.
Owing to some unavoidable delay in
putting in the cushions and other parts
of the furniture the dedication will not
take place for about month. "The
people" said Maj. John Espy yesterday,
were enthusiastic in their praises of
the new church The general
arrangement is very satisfactory
to everybody. The capacity of
the lecture room is very much greater
than it appears at first sight. 1t is very
much larger than the old room in the
Jackson street church without the gal
lery, or the lecture room, which is so
arranged that it can be turned into a
part of the large audience room. The
steam heating and acoustic arrange
mentS of the building are excellent
The ventilation, too, is excellent, and
unsurpassed by any church building |
have ever seen. The gas fixtures are
very handsome and add much to the
room. The frescoing, while not elabO-
rate, is very artistic and harmOniZeS
with the architecture of the church. No
organ has been provided as. yet, but a
large space has been left for one, and
when secured and set up it will add
much to the appearance of the church.
We are very proud of our new church
and hope soon to have it entirely COM
pleted."

Father for anything in my name He
Will give it YOU God tells us if we ask
for bread he will not give us serpent.
But our prayers must be coupled with
faith and we must persist in praying,

prayers may be for good objects and ac-
cOmpanied by the spirit OF faith, but yet
they may not be heard.
st. Paul cried aloud that he might be
released from the temptation of the tor
mentor, yet God did not free him from it.
He allowed him to overcome it by grace.
But there are prayers which, under
proper conditions, must be heard. The
conditions that must obtain that our
prayers may never fail are as follows:
CONDITIONS, OF PRAYER.
FirSt-The prayers must be made for
ourselves.
SecOnd-We must ask our favors
piouSly and with the devotion that such
an act requires.
Third-We must pray continuously.
There are certain faVorS that God grants
Immediately, there are more that we
must ask for repeatedly and knock VIC
lently for at the door of Gods mercy.
Fourth-Our prayers must be offered

then. ourrequeStS must be granted byGOd
either directly, when the favor asked
for is obtained. or Indirectly, when a
substitute is offered. When God prom
iSeS us that he Will grant us favors, He
does not promise to give us certain
particular gift. If He did so, men would
ask for things that would tend to their
own ruin. We will receive the partic-
ular gift asked for if it is conducive to
our salvation. The duty of prayer is
incumbent on us all. We can excuse
ourselves from other duties. There are
circumstances that may exempt us from
going to mass, approaching the sacra-
mentS, visiting the sick, but we cannot
exempt ourselves from prayer. We
must pray at all times. In fact, we
should make our lives continuous
