AN ANCIENT RELIC.
The Letters Were Old, but the Language
Most Tender,


CoNAJoHoRIE, December 27th.-At Stone
Arabia, n. Y, a few days ago, citizen
found hegrimed, badly battered metallic
box, six inches long and two deep. The
contents consisted of locket a bundle of
parchment letters and faded piece of blue
ribbon. The locket is of gold Of fine work
manship. On one side is a monogram in
the letters "A. h. D." On the other is a
curiously-wrought bunting scene.
The letters were all written in 177S-9 by
lady of evident royalty residing in Lon
don to her betrothed, and couehed in the
most tender language. The superscription
indicates the name of the recipient,
Captain Lowe Of the British army. There
is no record of Captain Lowe having
been killed at the battle of Stone Arabia,
but he must have been present in that
awful conflict and the box lost in the fight.
The gentleman owning the metallic box
will gladly surrender il TO the relatives Of
CAPTAIN Lowe

MAJOR PINTO.
He Has Incurred the Displeasure of All
England.

England.
LONDON. December 27th.-It is reported
that the Government is determined TO re-
fuse to discuss the African question with
Portugal until Major Pinto is recalled from
service in Africa for his insult to the British
flag The Portuguese under Major Pinto
hoisted flags at the places where British
flags were seized, and carried the latter
away. If Portugal does not reach an
amicable settlement soon at Englands
terms it looks as if there will be serious
trouble.
Major Serpa Pinto is the name most often
mentioned in connection with the quarrel
that has arisen between England and Por-
tugal with reference to boundaries in Africa.
He is an ardent and successful explorer,
and enthusiastically devoted TO the inter
ests of his own country as against England.
Major Serpa Pinto was born in 1915, and
educated for the Portuguese military serv-
ice He first went to Africa IL 1869, where
he took part in the campaign against the
rebellious chief Bonga, in the region OF the
Zambesi. He acquitted himself with dis
tinction on the field of battle, and acquired
wide repute as an explorer by ascending the
river as far as the Victoria Falls, making
many important discoveries on the way
and crossing the African continent from
one side to the other. Upon his return to
Portugal Serpa Pinto was received by the
King and was made the recipient of many
distinguished honors. In November, 1877,
he was again sent to Africa by the Portu-
guese Government. By 1879 he had COM
pleted a Journey from Benguala on the
western coast of Africa, to Durham, on the
southeastern coast. On the basis of the
discoveries of Pinto the Portuguese Gov
eminent has since 1879 laid claim to a
wide tract of African territory, including
Mozambique on the eastern coast, and the
Shire river district, in which the Portu-
guese engineer, Castilloes, has undertaken
to survey the route for a railroad. 1t was
this enterprise which met with resistance
from the Makololo natives and led to the
recently reported battle between the blacks
and the Portuguese forces under Pinto. a
portion of the territory claimed by Portu-
gal is also claimed by the British. Hence
the dispute about which all the world is
talking

A Ouick-Witted Minister.

The following is true story, and is well
worth printing: Two young ladies Of this
city were DESTROYS of joining one of the
prominent Episcopalian churches, but as
they had been taught that EMERSON was
the true form of baptism, they wished, on
joining themselves to the church, to be
baptized in that manner. They stated
their wish to the pastor, and he expressed
himself entirely willing to administer the
ordinance in that form, but as there were
no conveniences in the church edifce
for the purpose it would be necessary-to &C
outside-to the frog pond on the common
or the pretty lakelet in the public garden
They looked upon this proposition with
horror. They could not think of it-could
not think of making such spectacle Of
themselves.
"Then," said the pastor, "you had better
go to Baptist church for the purpose, and
after baptism, if you desire it, you will be
received into the Episcopalian fold"
The ladies were delighted with the
suggestion, and, as soon as convenient
called upon a prominent Baptist pastor
and made known their wish to be bap.
TIED
Certainly" replied the pastor, "but
there are certain preliminaries to be gone
through before baptism, certain prepare.
tions to be made. 1t is a solemn ordi.
nance, one not to be lightly submitted to
and, by the way, it appears to me strange
that you have not previously consulted
me, that the preparations so necessary

young ladies.

eyes; we do not intend to become mem
bers of your church. We only want to be
baptized, as we believe immersion to be
the proper form of baptism. We are go
ing to join the Episcopalian Church"
ooh! that's it," said the pastor, rising
"then permit me to inform you, my dear
young ladies, that we do not wash Episco
palian sheep here" Boston Courier.

GREEDY sTooKToNIAN.
He Wants the Earth and it Summer
Fallowed.


STOCKTON, December 27th.-This city en-
joys the distinction Of having Judge who
has been drawing two salaries. At the last
County election n Miner was chosen City
Justice. When the new charter was adopted
for Stockton last May it was claimed that
the Office of City Justice was abolished and
Miner was selected Municipal Judge. But
it transpired that the charter could not
abolish the constitutional Office, so Miner
continued to draw the salary as City JUS
tice and also that of Municipal Judge.
Recently Mayor Reibenstein refused to
countersign the warrant for Miners
salary as Municipal Judge, claiming that
the charter merely provides that the City
Justice should do more work, and that it
was the intention of the charter that the
Offices of City Justice and Municipal Judge
should be one. Miner brought suit
against the Mayor, and the Superior Court
to.day ordered decision virtually deciding
that Miner is entitled only to the salary Of
CITY Justice.

Persls torpedo boat have been recently
made, in addition to the one reported yes

the turret. Lieutenant Peral, in addition,
descended to the depth of eleven meters,
and remained thus submerged for forty
minutes. During this time of complete
submergence the boat was propelled at the
rate of three and half miles per hour.

BOMBAY, December 27th.-The native
Congress has agreed upon a plan of politi-
cal organization for India which is to be
presented TO Parliament. The essential
features are that there shall be a popular
electoral or representative body formed

that tho ruling Of the department Is er-

notwithstanding that the value Of the

TO avoid payment Of duty on the lead.
