Mr.. Martin spoke AZ the afternoon ser
vice a. the Y. NJ. C. A. rooms "Wednesday,
from the text foued 10 Gen. SO 2G-33
The subject being "Coniiticng OF Bless
ing" The first condiaoB, Jacob was
alone. The greatest victories the SER
watts Of thv Lord ever gained was on ac-
count Of their being alone with Him. Our
power Is not gotten in tho public meetings
hot in the closet with the Lord. We need
to be alone with Him that we may search.
also that We may confess ADD again that
We msy interceed for others. This seeond
point was God met jacob There are
csrtain times when God cannot meet Us
with blessing; for Instance, when there Is
an "Achan" in the camp; when We regard
iuiqulty In our hearts. There must BE-
notDing between ia and God IL we expect
to get a blessing or be blessing to others.
A2ein Jacob confessed his sin, What
is thy ntmey' God said. Jacob means
"supplau'er." AMI here in snsweriug The
question God ssked him, he coofessed his

The last point noticed by the speaker,
was the lnct that the blessing came. "Ged

The Giddy Ohio Girl,

cannot resist telling you, apropos Of
Urbana people, story that for years
has gone the rounds in Washington of
an Ohio girl, who is not native Of
Urbana, although she frequently visited
there4 She spent one winter 10 Wash
ington during tho Hayes nistration.
She was bright. clever and fascinating.
and she appeared night after night, in a
succession Of toilettes so decolette as
greatly TO shock the prim dowagers and
prudent mammas of society. During
her stay at the Capital few sporadic
cases Of smallpox made their appearance.
The pretty Ohio girl was frightened.
Meeting the lato Doctor Garnet at a
fashionable evening reception, where
the scahtiness Of her attire was unusu-
ally noticeable, she said, with the faint
est approach to giggle;
"Oh, doctor, am coming TO your
Office 10 be vaccinated Tomorrow" look
ing down at her shapcly arm; "you
must put II some place whore it will not
be seen"
The stately old gentleman. without q
change of muscle, gravely replied: "I

reflected ''Should there be truth iu
what she says?' And turning bis horse 3
head, he galloped through the wood to
the high road, where the kings hunts
men waited to escort him to the palace
There he sought the king and laid bare
his heart, and vowed he'd throw him
self from the rampart's crest if he be
not given Renee for his wife.
So the king was forced to give his
censent.
That night the prince sent twenty
sweet voiced minstrels to the village,
and all night long beneath her vine
wreathed window they sang the love of
the prince for Renee. The girl listened.
The words touched her heart. the music
swayed her spirit, and that night her
eyes were not closed in. slumber. In the
morning she was weary and sought the
shade of the forest There she found
the prince, who looked into her eyes and
made her listen to the story of his love
from his own lips.
"And wilt thou love me, Renee 7"
May. | can not |" said Renee
''Dost love another, then p
Perhaps p she answere l. drawing
away her hands
"Let her Dot sleep o nights said a
voice behind him. and the crone hohbled
by.
Each night tho minstrols sang under
Renees window. Each day she met tho
prince in the forest. She found him fair
aud gentle. The lover Of her dream
had blue eyes, tender ms the summer
sky.
But" thought Renee, looking at her
prince. dark eyes can be tender, too"
Still she said him nay.
''Woo not with too much sweetness !"
cautioned the old mother, coming sud
denly upon the prince as he sat, disconso-
late, beneath great tree ''Music
sometimes soothes to slumber."
So that night the prince sent the
keepers to beat the royal hounds beneath
the window Of Renee. All night the
miserable brutos howled---all night the
keepers lashed their whips and in the
morning Renee pale, languid worn
with weeks vigil, laid her little tired
head on tho arm of the prince and eould
not IN any manner say him nay.
Make haste to marry r cried the old
woman. crossing the homeward path Of
tho prince.
"Ay, that will l !" cried he, ''and thou
shalt be duchess, mother, ere to-mor-
rows sun goes down p
A gilded coach bore Renee to the pal
ace, and when she stepped forth, clad in
her white communion robes, even the
unwilling king found her fair, and kiss
ing her, he called her daughter.
The aged crono was bidden to the
feast-wherein the village gossips saw
the confirmation of their suspicions.--
How but through the interference OF
Satan could an old peasant get an invi-
tation to court ? There she found ocoa-
sion to explain oil to the prince, who
fenrcd rival. and bade him have care lest
kenee's eyes close ere the marriage cere-
mony was over. So he whispered love
words in her ear all the while the good
priest repeated the mass, and as soon as
Il was at an end he led her to the bridal
chamber.
Inc moon streamed through the case
ment. In the court below twenty sweet
voiced minstrels sang the hymn Of Hy-
men.
Ah send them awayl'' Dried little
Renee. for am weary, and fain would
sleep" !"
''And 30 thou shalt, my princess ~
said her husband, closing hcr lips with
! kiss, "for henceforth, shall be the

When Col. Higginson was running
for Congress two years ago a friend of
his, gentleman living in Cambridge,
visited the polls election day to see how
the colored vote was going. In one of
tho ward rooms he met colored man
who had formerly been in his employ,
and, going up to him, he asked: "Well,
George, who is your favorite candidate
to-day?'' The colored brother named
the man for whom he was going to vote,
and, to the grief of his former employ
or, it was not the name Of Col. Higgin-
son that he gave. "You don't mean to
say" said the Colonel's friend, "that
you are going to vote that way? Why,
should think that your sense of honor
and Of gratitude would lead you to cast
your ballot for man who has done so
much as Col, Higgiuson has for you and
for all the people of your race" But
the colored brother had different ideas.

a Brutal VOYAGE.

New YORK, March 1.--Commander
McCalla, of the United States ship En-
terprise, In an interview today made a
partial denial Of the statements Of his
officers and men regarding the cruel
treatment said to have been received at
his hands. He said he was not afraid
Of the result Of an official investigation
when one was made.
About cutting down Walker with q
sword, he said it was true. Walker
came on board drunk, ran wild about tho
decks and shouted; IL was q rebel and
fought two years in the war and | have
not had enough fighting yet. Pm not
afraid Of the biggestmen on board your
blasted plug and | won't keep quiet; no,
| won't" The man refused to listen to
reason and McCalla finally went to him
himself. Walker tried TO strike him
and McCalla cut him down.
The surgeons record shows that the
wound was on the back Of the head, an
inch and a half long and extending TO
the bone.
McCalla entered q denial of sevSal
other reported incidents and said the
story about Lady Playfair's coachman
was an absolute lie. He asked whether
his action in censuring Chief Engineer
Entwistle for using salt instead Of fresh
water in testing the boilers was not
justified.
McCalla allowed the reporter to go
forward among the men, and they, with
one or W exceptions, conceded In the
printed statement that the voyage had
been one of great brutality: The crew
is preparing a document to send to

A QUESTION OF PERKS.
Whose Property Is q Conn When th
Corpse Is Crematedf

Whose Property Is = Coffn When the
Corpse Is CrematedY
Theodore Hayman, the Cincinnati ii
cremator, Is charged with stealing and
selling the collins Of sundry patrons of
his crematory, says the Chicago Times.
This Is serious, II true, for the reintro-
duction of second-han or plugged
collins into circulation is manifestly an
obstruction OF trade; but we fail to see
how the charge Of stealing can be made
to hold. II the coffin belongs to any.
body 1t is the property Of the corpse.
for 1t is bought for his comfort and ag-
grandizement, usually with his money.
At any rate, such title as exists is GER
tainly vested in the occupant Q3th
Victoria, 4, 16), and II the occupant
relinquishes his tenement and by bis
own act, in being reduced to a small
bagful Of ashes, evinces o deter
mination to quit-claim his previous hab-
itation, the property becomes q sort of
fera natur@ lad Henry Nv, 2, 81, Of
which the captor or finder 1t properly
seized. The point for the courts to de-
termine would be whether Mr.. Hayman
could, under the circumstances, commit
larceny as bailee? Is not the cofin
really 90 much tare In the packages
shipped to him for professional treat
ment? Would 1t be his duty to wad the
residuary ash Of a patron into one cor.
ner OF q clumsy box many sizes too large
for the reduced occupant and ship the
whole awkward buddle {. o. b. TO the
c~onsignee, with bill Of lading annexed.
together with q sight draft for his pro.
sessiopal services? Or should he regard
the coin q q legitimate perk? The
Times would like to have the views Of
co1nsel learned In the law before IL
Gommfis itself on this unique issue.
