Berry is not man who would be noticed
in crowd unless for his habit of walking
with his shoulders bent aud his eyes ON the
ground, like one who feels that ne may be
jeered at if he looks about him. lie is u
powerful, thick set man Of about medium
stature, and his coudtenance is not an uu-
pleasant one at the first glance, though upon
closer study one discovers that the face re-
veals the lack of several moral elements in the
mans composition, which seen TO indicate
that the Creator designed him especially for
the lofty ends he serves His is the same type
Of face that is common in rogues' galleries,
indicating that if he had not been man Of
high ambition he might have held different
relations to the criminal element Of English
society than in the exalted functions he now
performs.
''A critical observer would probably say
that his eyes are too close together, and that
their brlliancy is that Of the Goldfish rather
than the eagle, while, though the mouth and
chin indicate determination, the forehead
gives the impression of lack Of balance. All
in all, the face bears a slight resemblance to
that of another distinguished figure in his
tory, the late Charles James Guiteau. A
phrenologist would perhaps find that the era
NAL bumps that indicate sense of shame, pity,
sympathy and other similar weaknesses are
not particularly well developed upon the

Bravery Rewarded.

George GrouchY, q salesman in Lawrence,

THE following resolutions asking
for the return OF the Rev. Dr. Wiley,
was unanimously adopted by the Third
Quarterly Conference of the Avenue
NJ. E. Church. Milford. Del:
Resolved, We believe thatthe pastorate Of
the Rev. DR.. !. H. Wiley in Milford has
been of signal benefit to the charge, to our
families and to ourselves. His manly Chris
tian department, his genial social qualities,
his ministerial prosperity, his intelligent and
efficient pulpit ministrations, with his eff
cisnt management of the fiscal affairs Of the
charge, have made the past three years among
the most fruitful in the history of Methodism
in this town, and we should personally re-
Rret the separation. Therefore,
Resolved, That we respectfully request the
Presiding Elder to use his best efforts to
have him returned to US for the fourth year.

Ronrn on me Poor Prince.

British royalty doesn't amount to much
in these days It cannot even command
washstands Tor its personal use at the public
expense.
This is the substance of recent decision
by the British admiralty. Young Prince
George, the second son Of the Prince Of
Wales, is in the navy, quartered on board
H. NJ S. Excellent. A short time ago he
wanted marble top washstand and dressing
table for his quarters and made requisition
for them.
The order was at first given, but, after a
howl from Labouchere and consequent
stirring up Of public discussion, the admiral
ty hastened TO rescind the order. Young
Prince George, therefore, will have TO 60
without the marble top washstand and the
dressing table unless be provides them at his
own expense-or royal papa's.
Thus is royalty fallen. One who stands
near the throne-so near that two deaths
would make him heir aPparent-is officially
ordered to provide his own washstand or go
without It is indeed bitter.-Boston Globe.

Jack the Writer.

II Jack the Ripper is ever caught, he-or
she-should write a book. OF its kind, it
would be a unique production, detailing the
battling Of the ablest Vidocqs Of the great
city OF London and setting forth the most
astounding career Of murder that ever shock
ed the world. The communications purport-
ing to emanate from this red handed outlaw
reveal sufficiency Of literary ability to I'M
vest a narrative from his pen with such CORY
interest as would far surpass the pages Of the
most lurid dime novel that ever appeared.
