The Week of Prayer.

The religious services Of the week were
we'll attended There was no diminish
ing Of interesf from the beginning 20 the
close. Seldom in the history of this city
has there been a more contiguous and
general interest In religious services -
Judging from the meeting last night the
people are better prepared for another
week of service than they were at any
time during the week
The subject before the meeting last
night was the great subject of Missions
The commercial view OF missions was
presented, then the transforming power
Of the Gospel as it Is presented by The
missionary. and the condition of the
world without this religion. as IL was
presented in the Roman Empire.
The attention of the large audience was
held to the close, and the services were
longer than usual. The awakened aud
growing spirit of union among Christians
was seen aud felt, and must have a good
effect upon the churches Of this city
Such meetings show that Gods people
are agreed upon all the fundamental doc
trines of Gods word. Upon minor points
we can agree TO differ. Keep your smaller
differences, said Calvin when address
ing The Lutheran Churches. Let us have
no discord on that account. but let US
march In one solid co'umn. under the
banners of the Captain of our Salvation,
and with Individual counsels from the
legions of the cross upon the territories
of darkness and of death"
The ministers will determine as TO fur
Their meetings, and the announcement
will be made on Sabbath night from
the pulpits and through the CAPITAL on
Monday.

In the City Directory for the current
year is found the name of "Pork and
Beans" which belongs to a fisherman re-
siding on Water street, third north Of Es-

the following account Of the man and his
queer name is obtained: The man came here
about two years ago as. sailor on board
Of vessel from the Mediterranean. He be-
came dissatisfied with his berth on the YES
sci and found some fishermen here with
whom he cast his lot.
He was reticent concerning his past his
tory, and having developed on board the
fshing-smack peculiar fondness for pork
and beans, his companions, for want of a
better name, always spoke Of him and ad-
dressed him as "Pork and Beans" Gradu-
ally he came to recognize this name and
adopted 1t as his own. He owns some
property In his native land and a young man
who has been conducting his correspond
dence signs his letters "Pork and Beans"
The fisherman has also received letters
bearing this address: "Pork and Beans,
