came a Christian in early life and
united with the Baptist Church Aug.
IA, 1881, of which she was a highly
esteemed and beloved member at the
time OF her death. She lived d quiet
devoted christian lie during period
of sc years. She was a woman of
few words, but walked in close fell
lowship with her Lord to the end,

children rise up and call her blessed. "
Thus q good woman has gone TO her
reward. The community has lost
an excellent neighbor, the church a

voted mother, who are sustained in
their great loss by the thought of her
great gain. for she was sustained and
comiorted by her Saviour's presence

BA RNET.
An Interesting Lecture.

The lecture delivered in the Barnet
lecture course on Thursday evening
by Prof. Martin H. Fisk of Temple,
N. H., was exceedingly valuable and
highly appreciated by the audience.
The lecturer gave detailed and inter
esting accounts of the methods of
disposing of the remains of the dead
among all the great civilized peO
pies, ancient and modern. Incident
ally he alluded a some length to the
Egyptian pyramids. the catacombs
at Rome and at Paris, and the Won
derful relics left by the mound build
ers in our Western country. These
facts, full of interest and instruction,
were relieved and sugar-coated by
the citation of large numbers OF the
exceptional epitaphs from every
graveyard" as the Jubilee singers put
it. The audience was kept in good
humor to the end and departed at
the close with great qualification
that the grip had spared them for
this evenings entertainment, and
with regret that their neighbors and
friends bad been compelled to mss
an unusually pleasant and profitable
lecture.

by the ladies of St. Johnsbury, to
which were added many valuable
books, and the loss to the village
will probably never be made up.

The Sultan and General Grant.

One of Grants closest friends at
Washington was Gen. Ed Beale, and it
was to Gen. B eale that he gave two of
the horses which were sent him from
Turkey by the Sultan, and l think
these are now on Gen. Beale's farm
near Washington, While l was in
Turkey few years ago had a chat
with the dragoman of our legation at
Constantinople and he told me queer
story of the selection of these horses
by the Sultan. The Sultan had sent
the instruction that they should
be sent to President Grant
as gift from him and
the minister had, in company with this
dragoman, tired them. One was mag
nificent jet black stallion, but in riding
him the minister thought he discovered
a fault, and he insisted that the drago-
man should take him back to the sui
tan and ask him to send better horse.
Tie dragoman replied that ne could
not do thls;,the horses were a gift, and
he used the proverb about mot look
ing gift horse in the
mouth" But the minister insisted
and the dragoman went to
the Sultan and asked for an audience
He is, by the way, a man Of fine sensi.
bilities and rs an interpreter for the
legation he is the most important of all
men to Americans in Turkey. said he
to me: Il felt very much ashamed of
myself and my mission and I did not
| know what l could do until at last a
thought struck me that the horse was
black one and that black was the
color of mourning in America. When
I entered the place the first thing the
secretary asked me was as to how the
minister and myself liked the horses,
and l replied that they were the finest
horses that we had ever seen, and that
our president would feel very proud
and would be delighted with the gift
l then went on to praise the horses, and
especially the black one, which l said
was magnificent in every respect, but
here 1 stopped. and the secretary
anxiously asked: But what? Is
there anything the matter with the
| horse?"
NO." said I, "but you know black
is the color of mourning in the United
States. 1t means death with us, and !
! just wondered whether such a gift
might not be considered ominous II
sent by the sultan" The secretary
saw the point at once, he spoke to the
sultan ana 1 was thanked for my sug.
| gestion, and the horse was changed for
one one of another color and as sound
as a dollar.

Lieut.. Marie Hoche.

The Hungarian newspapers report
the death, at the age of 62, of Frau
Marie Hoche, who had been a Iieuten-
ant in the hungarian war for Inde-
pendence and gained medal for
bravery on the field of battle. In 1913
Marie was is years of age. She en-
rolled herself in a corpse Of volunteers
without the slightest suspicion arising
as to her sex. For her courage in an
engagement, where she was badly
wounded in one foot, she was rewarded
with a lieutenant's commission and
decorated with a medal Marie was
afterward transferred to a regiment of
hussars, with the rank of first lieuten-
ant. She might have gone further in
line of promotion but for the chance
discovery of her sex, whereupon a Ma
jor, who had long had liking for the
brave young officer, married her, the
wedding ceremony being performed by
the regimental chaplain. After her
husbands death she suffered from poy-
erty, but fortunately she attracted the
notice Of the Magyar poet, Marus Joki,
who pleaded her cause in verse with
such effect that sum of money was
raised 10 ease her declining years
There have been in the United
