Spurgeon's Scotch Substitute.

From London Baptist Paper.
Despite the fog in which the Metropolitan
tabernacle on Sunday night lay shrouded, hun
dreds of people besieged the doors at an early
hour in order to hear the Scottish Spurgeon.
Before the opening psalm was announced there
was not vacant seat in any part of the vast
area, while the aisles were packed by many
who were content to stand throughout the de-
livery of the sermon. Altogether there must

volcanic manner and eruptive delivery are
the two characteristics which first strike his
hearers. In the announcement which prefaced
the sermon the preacher asked the congrega-
ton to be liberal in their donations to the fund
for poor ministers and drew laughter from his
hearers by appealing in a personal sense for
their generous support. In making a similar
appeal in Scotland minister was told by one
of his parishioners, ''If the Lord will keep you
humble we will keep you poor" Taking his
text from Luke xix:l0 he laid special stress on
the story of Zaccheus, and remarked: my hope
is that there is a great, big, humping sinner
in this assemblage tonight. l am sick
and tired of your ordinary sinners. Great sim

himself to speak in bated breath against the ut,
terances of the processing Christians. He urged
the nominal religionist to take hence his ''dry,

room for the 'drunkard, the harlot, and the
thief" In bringing to a close sermon full Of
force and marked by high and powerful feeling
he urged that churches were mere refugees on
the road to eternity, and added that when the
church to which he had been nominated ceased
to be a refuge and protection to suffering sim
ners, may God destroy it or take me out Of

grave.
LONDON, March 21.-In the house Of COM
mons this afternoon Baron Henry De Worms,
parliamentary colonial secretary, read
telegram which had been received
from the Cape in reply to inquiries
concerning Capt. Seagrave. The telegram said
that Capt. Seagrave was dismissed from the
Cape infantry service in 1885, for gross neglect
of duty and breach of trust.
SCENE OF DISORDER.
The reading of the dispatch was followed by
a scene of great disorder. The Irish members
rose in their places and cheered, and
there were cries OF "Pigottr' .Pigottr
Remember Mitchelstown!' &c. When quiet
was restored Mr.. Balfour, chief secretary for
Ireland, said he had suspended Sea-
grave, but preferred not to dismiss
him until documentary evidence of his
guilt had been received. Home Secretary
Matthews, in reply to question, admitted that
Police Inspector Andrews had visited America

The Romance of Bride Brook.

A CEREMONY THAT GAVE TO A CONNECTICUT
STREAM THE NAME IT HAS TO-DAY.
From the Sound Breeze.
1t is not generally known that the settlement
of New London was commenced under the au-
thority of Massachusetts. John Winthrop its
founder, bore a commission from the govern
ment of that colony. 1t was first called The
Plantation of Nameaug," and its bounds ex-
tended on the west to a small stream two miles
west of Niantick, now Niantick bay, which was
called by the Indians Sunkipaug. 1t issues
from pond of the same name. and falls into
the sound between Black Point and Giants
Neck.
During the first winter after the settlement.
the winter of 1916, at a time when the whole
country was covered with deep snow, the in
cident that caused the naming this stream and
lake Bride Brook and Lake occurred. Applica-
ton was made to Mr.. Winthrop to go to Say
brook and unite young couple in marriage,
there being in that place no person duly au-
thorlZed to officlate on such an occasion; but
he had been commissioned by Massachusetts,,
and could not legally fasten the nuptial knot in
Saybrook, which was under the jurisdiction of
Connected He proposed, therefore, to meet
them halfway on the brink of the little stream
that his western boundary. The PROPOSE
ton was accepted, and there Winthrop, accom-
panied by party from his plantation, met the
bridal train from Saybrook, and the rite
performed. In conclusion Winthrop gave the
name of Bride Brook to the stream, by which it
has ever since been known. The pond is also
called Bride lake.
The annals of history can furnish but few in
cidents more striking than the Bride Brook
marriage. All the accessories of the scene are
picturesque and impressive. The little COM
pany stood in the midst of a dreary waste of
snow. far from any human habitation at this
time excepting the huts of savages. Ancient
forests and immense solitudes were around
them, beyond which in shadowy magnifcence,
vast and indefinite, lay the unexplored world,
on whose brink they stood. We might per-
chance add to these features the stalwart forms
of natives, tribe of whom dwelt not far from
the place, darling among the trees or looking
on at a distance.

he finished than the plaintiff jumped up and
hit the defendant singing blow behind the

jumped on him and began to pummel him
soundly. The constable ran up and was try

COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
A vigorous effort is being made by
the Iowa delegation in both houses Of
Congress, backed by considerable outside
influence, in behalf Of the appointment
of ex-Gov. Stone. Of that state, as COM
missioner Of the general land Office. The place
is claimed for him on both his civil and mill
tary record. He was serving his second term
as judge Of one of the courts Of his state when
Sumter was attacked, whereupon he adjourned
court and enlisted as private in one of the
first regiments to be formed. From this humble
position he was regularly promoted until he
reached colonelcy and brevet brigadier-gen-
eralshlp. He was twice shot from his horse
while leading his regiment in battle, and while
in the field he was elected governor of his state
filling that Office for two terms. His friends
claim that his military record h entitled to
recognition, other things being equal and that
his practice as a lawyer and his experience on
the bench, coupled with his general knowledge
of the land laws, specially qualify him for the
place he seeks. and to which they feel sanguine
he will be appointed.
Since the 4th Of March the Presidents mail
has been very heavy, averaging from six to
seven hundred letters, and on some days run
ming as high as thousand letters. President
Cleveland's letters rarely exceeded three hun

to President Harrison are intended for other
persons, several of whom are utterly unknown
to him, the correspondents probably thinking
that letters addressed to the care of the Presi-
dent will undoubtedly reach their destination.

on Saturday next to attend Sunday school and

tary Halford.

Additional Particulars Received at the
State Department.

Additional details have been received at the
State department relative to the riot, which
occurred at Chin Kiang, China, the
carly part of last month. The
riot grew ont of the stoning of the
Sikh policemen of the British quarter by a
crowd of boys and very young men. 1t was
the Chinese new year when business was mostly
suspended, and thousands of idlers thronged
the streets. The quarrel of the bows
was taken up by the men. Chinese was
thrown down. and, it was reported. killed by
the police. This inflamed the anger of the
mob. which thereupon attacked and
burned the police station and quarters.
Then a row of new brick dwelling houses was
burnt. The roadway was filed with a frantic
mob of twenty-thousand rioters When the
situation around the British and American con-
sulates was particularly alarming 800 soldiers
arrived from the neighboring barracks. but
their appearance only caused derision from the
mob. In the very presence of the troops an
assault was made on the gates of the consul
lates, one of which, the British, was
burned. The consuls and their families man.

escapes. and reached mail steamer, which had
just arrived, just in time to escape the mob,
which made . rush for the steamer only toe

The next morning several attempts were
made without success to board the boat. The
arrival of brigade of soldiers that evening
and British man-of- war the next morning
brought calm.

A REMARKABLE GAME OF POKER FOR ENORMOUS
STAKES.


STAKES.
Kansas City Letter in Jewellers Weekly.
The gossip of the town in trade circles is Just
now the great game of poker in which Joe
Schwartz engaged the other night with a prom
inent board of trade man, whose name is David
son. The game was played in one of the largest
hotels. The ante at first was twenty-five cents,
but luck was all on Davidson's side, and
Schwartz had it raised to enable him to win
back his losings more rapidly. The ante was
then forced up to S1.500. Still the cards ran
against Schwarts, and Davidson, who had cashed
in the amount he had put into the game. and
was playing purely on velvet, consented to take
Schwartz's checks. On pair of mines David
son won 1000 and on a pair Of treys $40, 600.
After Schwartz had paid out $50, 500 in checks
the cards turned, and he finished only $1,000
loser. Schwartz next morning made an offer
to compromise, and was released from liability
on the debt BY paying $1,000.
