The wronged and Indignant Brother.
The Rev. DR.. F. w. Gunsaulus, of
Chicago. who is well known in this city
and Baltimore, tells Of an amusing epi.
sode Il his first pastorate, which. By the
way, was in town on Long Island. 81
was full Of enthusiasm in those days.
he sa IS in telling the story, land came
nearer to believing myself great
preacher than ever have since. This
Long Island town to which was as
signed was considered ungodly; but with
the optimism of youth l believed that
my eloquence would soon reduce il to
state of innocuous virtue. Well, the day
for my maiden sermon came around,
and the church WIS we'll filled. l was
never more eloquent than l was that
day, and before got half through my
sermon l felt quite confident of convert
ing the whole town in short order. Just
then / saw a tardy brother enter the
church and weave uncertainty up the
middle aisle. It required no second
glance to see that, full as the church
was that morning, he was still fuller. l
was in hopes that he would quietly drop
into one of the seats near the door. but
my hopes were in vain.
"By walking up both sides of the aisle
he gradually got to the front pews, right
under the pulpit. 1t then occurred to
me that might prevent an unpleasant
scene by addressing soothing and pleas
ant remark to my bacchanalian brother.
So l said in sympathetic tones, 4 per-
ceive that the brother is sick. Perhaps
if he were to allow the sexton to accom-
pany him to the door he would speedily
recover in the open air Ifelt like con-
graduating myself on my diplomacy,
but the sick brother seemed to mis-
understand my good intentions. Bracing
himself uncertainty against a pew, and
gazing at me with a look of panied and
indignant surprise, he remarked in thick
but audible tones: It's wonner to me
that thish (hic) bad prcashin' doesn't (hic)
make 'em all sick This unholy repair
tee made everybody laugh, and when l
left the pulpit l had given up all thoughts
of converting the town by my eloquent
preaching" New York Graphic.

A writer in the London st. James Ga
zette objects strongly to the use of foot
notes in books, and particularly criticises
Mr.. Bryce's recent work on this account.
He says: Except for the purpose of
relieving the text of references, the foot
note has. no proper place in any book
that deserves to be called a book. It is
at best q kind Of purgatorio, to which an
author consigns such remarks as he
thinks unworthy of admitting to full
honors, and yet has not the courage to
cast out altogether. Bus there is hardly
page of Mr.. Bryce's book without foot
notes, and hardly foot note which
might not well have been Incorporated
in the text. Often, indeed, the foot
note contains the very plum Of the
page"

Transmission In Geese.

A correspondent of The Revue Scien-
tifique vouches for the following story:
For about twenty years he. was in the
habit of visiting two or three times each
year farm where was kept flock of
geese, numbering from thirty to thirty
five in the early part of the winter, and
in the spring four or five, left for breed
ing purposes; these also generally being
killed few months later, after the new
broods had attained their growth.
In the month of July, 1862, on feast
day, the farmer and his men being ab-
sent, the geese were forgotten, and were
attacked by dogs, which killed tho most
of them. The next evening at twilight
the farmer thought they must have been
attacked second time. He found them
flying about in their pen, much fright
ened, but the dogs were nowhere to be
seen. Tho next day this terror reap
peared at the same hour as it did on the
following day, and from that time on.
The correspondent of The Review had
forgotten this fact when, ten years later,
he CHANGED to be on the farm one even
ing, and heard the cackling of the ap-
parently frightened geese. When he
asked for an explanation he was told
that this had been kept up from the time
they had been attacked by the dogs, that
there had been no repetition of the at
tack, and that the flock had been re-
newed in the meantime at least three
times. If this story is well authenticated
We have case of the Transmission of
terror to the third generation in a family
of geese.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 2.-The De-

ton at st. Petersburg, that he has re-
quested the Russian government to IN
vestigate the case of kempinski, said to
be naturalized American citizen, who
was exiled to Siberia by the Russian au-
thorities upon his return to Russia. 1t
has been reported to the department
that Kempinski was IS or 10 years of
age when he left Russia for the United
States. While the department will in
ves,igate the case thoroughly there is
said to be need for caution, for with this
statement of the case it may appear that
Kempinski was eligible for military SER

In the secondary battery, one 3-inch

The Olga was an unarmored single

The Trenton had forty-two officers

the Nlpsic $50 men, making the total
strength OF the American fleet at Samoa
500 men. or nearly double the strength
ot the German forces. The Olga had
267 men, the Adler 12S men,
and the little Eber eightv-seven
men, yet with One-half of the
number of the American forces. these
unfortunate vessels appear to have lost
more than twice as many men. Some
naval officers think this an indication
that the American vessels had greater
structural strength than the German
ships, or that superior seamsnship was

fugitive from justice from the state of
Pennsylvania. Supt. Robertson, of the
Plnkertons, got out warrant and him
self made the arrest. instead of utilizing

cided to be illegal. Zeisler made a
break for liberty, and in the confusion
which c1sued his son had a tussle with
Pinkerton. The latter knocked young
Zeisler down. Zeiser, the elder, was
arrested, but subsequently Judge Alt

THE HARBOR OF APIA,
The Ring OF Coral Reefs on Which The
War Ships We're Wrecked.

rhe Ring OF Coral Reefs on Which The
War Ships We're Wrecked.
WASHINGTON, d. G., March 29.-Capt.
Sellridge, L. S. N, was found 1t the
Navy Department this morning poring
over a chart of the harbor of Apia,
which he visited several years ago.
He said that while it was
very bad harbor, it was the best
on the island of Upola. Like all
of the Pacific island harbors, that of
Apis is formed by coral reef encircling
the island at a short distance from the
shore. The anchorage space available
for men-of-war is contracted, being
about ,000 feet wide at the mouth of
the harbor. The bottom is sandy, af-
fording slight hold for an anchor, and
the han Dor is exposed on the north. On
each side of the entrance are coral
reefs which are awash at high water, and
are surrounded by shoals. The depth OF
water ranges from four 10 eight iathoms,
pretty deep water being found close in
shore, which would enable ship TO get
close in. hurricanes or cyclones at
Apia are usually from the southwest.
and revolving in the harbors tend to
force vessels on the rugged reefs or
rough shores. The last hurricane oc-
Cured at Apia just Fix years ago. For
tunatelv no men-ofwar were in the har-
Dor, but every merchantmen was driven
ashore or wrecked. houses were de-
stroyed, and palm trees uprooted.
It is the opinion OF Admiral Harmony,
who is also familiar with the Samoa
Islands, that the English man-of-wa
owed her escape to the fact that she had
steam up aud vas enabled to push
out to sea. The number of
vessels lying in the small harbor was a
source OF danger to them individually.
for if one dragged her anchors, she
would very probably collide with and
carry away another ship which might
otherwise have held securely.

which serves him in place of one leg he
lett behind during the war, and aimed
an ugly blow at his enemy. Armes
lodged the blow, and it struck one of
the pillars of the hotel rotunda. A sec
ond blow also missed its mark, and
Capt. Hewes, the hotel policeman,
rushed up, attracted by the noise, ard

manager, however, and escorted out

Storm on the PrairioS

Severe gales did considerable damage
in parts of Minnesota snd Dakota on the
2d. Jackson, Minn,, had a very narrow
escape from being swept by prairie
fire. A sand blizzard began at
p. NJ, at Gary, Oak, and continued
all the afternoon. The mercury
fell sixteen degrees in two hours.
Crops already sown are thought to be
much injured. The Aberdeen CORE
spondent telegraphs: "A hurricane
started this afternoon and continued
all evening. Roofs have been blown off
the Park Place Hotel, the mill, Excel
sior Block and other buildings, and
many others were otherwise damaged.
So far as reported no one has been
hurt" To the storm several places
had added the terrors of fire. Yank-
ton, OAK, reports that Violin, a station
on the North Western road, ten miles
east of there, burned. The buildings
destroyed were the station agents resi-
dence, the depot, two dwelling houses
ana large Touring mill. A thousand
tons of hay were burned, and ell the
barns in the place.
