A Christ-Like Life

Southern Presbyterian.
The Orange Journal publishes a
striking narrative of DIR. Daniel Poor,
the missionary in Ceylon and father
of the present secretary of the Board
of Education. The truthfulness of
the narrative is vouched for by Rev.
Samuel Hutchings, formerly a fellow
laborer with DIR. Poor in Ceylon, and
now living over eighty years of age,
in Orange. The narrative is given
in a letter recently received from Miss
Leitch now a missionary in CeylOn.
She says:
The mention of DR.. POor's name
turned the tide at certain meetings
where the question was being discus
sed whether Christianity was the true
religion. An infdel lecturer came
for the purpose of speaking against
Christianity. He took his stand in
the heather temple, which is on the
other side ofthe street from the house.
He spoke there night after night to
large crowds. Our native Christians
undertook to answer this lecture.
They appointed meeting and they
also were we'll attended. Mr. Rice
lthe native pastor at Ratticotta) came
to speak. After the Introductory
part of his speech he laid his hand on
the Bible and said to those present,
most of whom we're heather, "You
do not know what is within the lids Of
this book, but one thing yon do knoW,
you know the lives of the mission
aries who have dwelt among YOU
Then, with a look %Ofdeepest love and
reverence, he mentioned the name o.
DR.. Poor. He said, "He was NOR

district. There is not a house but ht

could make a man forget his hungt
and WEAKNESS in seeking a blessin
for others?" These appeals turne
the tide. The infidel lecturer had
stop giving his lectures. The pet
pie would not hear him, and the +
suit of these meetings vas that man
became inquirers and have since bee
received into the church.

Consistent Living.

Living must go before teaching.
We must be disciples before we can
be apostles. We must get from Christ
before we can give for Christ to
others. We must live the truth our
selves, get it wrought into our own
character and habits, before we can
impressively present it to others.
Many people can chatter vOlubly
about religion, knowing its formule
and Technology, having much ia
miliarity with doctrines and ethical
principles, even with the Scriptures,
who have no experimental a~cquaint-
ance with religion as a life; these
may teach glibly enough as to words,
but there Fan be little real power in
what they say. Our influence as
teachers will be measured always by
the depth of our religious experience

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
A Prohibition Lecturer FOu1ly Dealt
With at Oakland.

A Prohibition Lecturer Fou11y Dealt
With at Oakland.
SAN Francisco, May 30.-Osborn Con-
gelton, a Prohibition orator, who has
been engaged in lecturing throughout the
state, took boat from this city for Ala
media last evening. Some hours later
he was taken to the Office of the chief of
police of Oakland by a car conductor,
who found him weak and almost insensi-
BILE on the Oakland wharf. He had a
severe scalp wound and bullet, evil
IDENTIFY from a small calibre pistol, had
broken a small pair of scissors which he
carried in his vest pocket, causing an
abrasion of the skin. Congelton claims
that when he stepped upon the ferry
boat, he was accosted by stranger who
called him by name, and who continued
conversation with him regarding prohi-
bition matters until they arrived at Ala
media, where they separated, Congelton
telling the stranger that he intended re-
turning to Oakland the same night to
attend lecture. An hour later,
when the Prohibitionist took
the train for Oakland, he
was again accosted by the stranger who
accompanied him to his destination. On
leaving the train, the stranger insisted
on directing Congelton TO the church the
latter wished to attend, although Cong
elton protested that he was taking the
wrong direction. They had not gone
far, he states, when he was struck on the
head by club, and became insensible.
He claims that when he recovered con-
sciousness he heard someone say: "Kill
him." and pistol flashed He again be-
came insensible and remained so till he
found himself in the waters of Oakland
creek. He managed to Chamber upon
the wharf, where he was found by the
conductor. Congelton was formerly
editor of the Philadelhia Quill, Prohi-
bition paper, and is now acting as cor
respondent for the New York Voice, the
national Prohibition paper. He claims
to have received a letter last Sunday,
signed vigilance Committee" threat
ening him unless he stopped his efforts
in behalf of prohibition and return east.

DEMINe, N. M, May 3O.-The asser-
tions made in some quarters at Los
Angeles that the murder of Robert Har-
die in Arizona was not done by Indians,
have created some comment in the terri
tories. Colonel Gray, near whose place
the murder took place, wrote to DR..
Haynes that he had discovered moccasin
tracks, and that at least four Indians
were in the party which did the killing.
A later outrage has removed doubts, if
any existed here, that Apaches did the
deed.
After killing Hardie, the Indians
crossed over to the Los Animas valley,
took five horses, fired on the boys at
deer creek, and killed miner on the
vista about fifty miles south of the val
ley, in old Mexico.
The size of the marauding party is un-
known, but half a dozen Apaches,
in their peculiar skulking
manner of warfare, are sufficient to keep
all the outlying territory between Tucson
and Ell Paso, and from the Mogollon
mountains we'll south into chihuahua
and Sonora, in state of continual alarm.
Rucker caflon, where the murder of Har
die took place, lies in the eastern flank
of the Chiricahua mountains, the strong
holds in the former raids of marauding
bands of Apaches. The conformation Of
the country is such that every facility is
offered the Indians to escape. The
mountain ranges are detached and jagged
sierras, easy of access and comparatively
safe from pursuit.

Coast Extensions.
New YORK, May 3O.-Sidney Dillon,
of the Union Pacific Company, was
seen yesterday regarding the movements
of his road on the Pacific coast, and said :
"New stories about the company are
coming up almost every day. They are
SO common that l pay very little atten-
tion to them. The Union Pacific will
not try to have terminal at San Fran
cisco, at least for the present. The COM
pany is satisfied with what it has now.
OF course what may be done within the
next ten years l do not know
When asked if he thought the Santa
Fe would endeavor to reach San Fran
cisco he replied: 81 do not think the
Santa Fe will attempt such thing. The
company is an immense one now, and
my advice--not advice exactly, but my
idea-would be that it would be good
deal better if the company would devote
its profits to paying dividends instead of
building another extensive line. Be-
sides, think there are enough railways
entering into San Francisco"

CANADIAN CORRUPTION.
Extensive Jobbing in Connection With
the Quebec Court House.

QUEBEC, May 30.-Some eight years
ago J. P. Whelan, of Montreal, then
editor and proprietor of the Daily Post,
signed a contract with the government
of the province to build new court
house in the city of Quebec, at cost of
$4,000. Up to the present time, how
ever, $500, 900 has been paid out to the
contractors, and Whelan has filed claims
for $500 900 more. Whelan's partner in
the court house contract was Daniel
Ford, practical architect, who supplied
most of the mechanical experience, while
Whelan supplied the money. A suit is
now going on between these partners,
and in the cross-examination OF certain
witnesses, story of bribery has come
out. Several members of the provincial
parliament, it is alleged, have received
bribes, and one lump, the sum of $4,000,
is said to have gone to Premier Mercier,
leader of the Liberal party, as well as
many smaller amounts. A royal COM
mission will be asked to investigate.

SWEET POTATOES.
Some Good Suggestions About Their Gull

Some Good Suggestions About Their Gull
tivation and How To Market.
In selecting seed reject all crooked
and unusually long potatoes and plant
those showing tendency to become
short and larger in the center, with a
rapid taper towards each end. Place in
hot bed horizontally one-half inch
apart, drench with water, cover three
inches with earth, then one and half
inches of sand. When the plants are
four inches above the ground, they are
large enough to pull for sets.
Ridge the ground with two-horse
pillow, four feet or less apart, and with
spade plant on the ridges, eighteen
inches apart. Keep free from weeds and
grass. sweet potato scraper, drawn
by mule, will be of great assistance
until the vines cover the ground, after
which little attention will be required.
Digging can be done with spade, If
only small quantity is grown, or with
pillow with the mould-board removed,
and rolling cutter to cut the vines.
/ use digger, consisting of two roll
ing cutters and two plows, throwing the
dirt in opposite directions and two
lifters that pass under the ridge, leav-
ing the hills to be easily lifted by hand
The potatoes designed for table USE
are separated from the seed and corded
in bins in the potato house. Great care
should be observed in handling to pre-
vent marking. A slight bruise, or {
scratch of a finger nail, imperceptiblt
at first, will become black and insight
ly, and greatly impair the sale. NJ

when it is desired to close the brooder.
When it is preferable to leave it open it
can be fastened to the roof by leather
strap caught on nail or wire hook.
Another box still will serve as a
@'mother," and need be but half as large
as the brooder box. A soap box is good
for this purpose. This must be inclosed
excepting at one end. Here door
must be hung which can be closed tight
ly. In the box pan of hot sand may
be placed, which will afford plenty OF
heat for the little chickens and will hold
it longer than water.
This box should have strong post
seven inches high, under each corner
and around the bottom strip of flannel
should reach nearly to the floor. Hav
ing spread paper on the floor of box
No. 1 and covered it with dry, warm
sand, stand the newly-made mother in

The Need of Good Country Roads.

College professors, civil engineers
and magazine writer's are directing pub
lie attention to the subject of country
highways, and the Vanderbilt Universi-
ty Tennessee, has gone so far as to pro-
vide for the free instruction in road en-
gineering of one person from each coun-
ty in that State. The Baltimore Sun,
which is agitating the question in Mary
land, points out that the power required
to draw wagon weighing, with its
load, one ton on a level, macadamized
road of broken stone is sixty-five
pounds, which is increased to two hun
ired pounds on common dirt road.
Prof. Ely, of John Hopkins University,
estimates that poor roads cost the
farmer, on an average, fifteen dollars
per horse, and Prof. jerks, of Knox
College, Illinois, argues that with good
permanent roads freight could often be
hauled ten miles on wagons cheaper
than it could be taken one mile on
dirt road to railroad station, unloaded,
put on the cars and carried to its
destination. OF the social influences of
good roads, he says that "a large part of
the mental inspiration of the farmers
depends on their ability to attend
church lectures, concerts and social
gatherings at distance; and really
good roads, by enabling them to go so
much more easily, would doubtless
raise the whole intellectual tone of the
farming community, besides keepinr
within the healthful influence of the
farm many who are now forced into the
towns

The blackberry is not regarded as y
good shipping fruit, and maIy consign-
ments arrive in bad condition. Black
berries, under certain conditions, bs-
come sour while in transit during tia
night-though we have seen berries ont
thirty-six to forty hours which arrive d
in fair order. The very hot weather
that usually accompanies the maturing
of this fruit is the worst feature it has
to contend with. We could not there
fore. advise extensive planting by par,
ties far away from market. Arriving
as it always does when the market is
crowded with Strawberries, 1t does not
bring any fancy price. The fruit, how.
ever, is attractive and sells readily, il
it can be placed before tho purchase
from the vines or a few hours after gath
