worshiping Medicine Bottles.

An eminent lady missionary in Bur
NAH recently gave DR.. A. j. Gordon an
instructive but somewhat startling chap
ter from her experience. In one of her
tours, she said, she came upon village
where. cholera was raging. Having with
her quantity of famous painkiller
she went from house to house admin
istering the remedy to the invalids and
left a number of bottles to be used after
she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was
met by the head man of the community,
who cheered and delighted her by this
intelligence: Teacher, we have come
over to your side. The medicine did .us
so much good that we have accepted
your God"
Overjoyed at this news, she was con-
Quoted to the house of her informant,
who, opening room, showed her the
painkiller bottles solemnly arranged in
row upon shelf, and before them the
whole company Immediately FRUSTRATED
themselves in worship. Modern Church.

Few Colds from Exposure.

remember some curious facts of my
own experience in the army in 1862 and
1868. was not strong, and indeed was
hardly fit to be in the army at all. And
when found myself exposed all day
long to steady rain, and at night to
the outdoor air, with no fire, no change
of clothing, no shelter but canvas COW
ering open at both ends, through which
the rain dripped constantly, it seemed
certain that the ''death O cold" so often
predicted must surely follow.
Why it did not follow was more of a
mystery then, however, than it is now.
For was in place where the art of
man no longer excluded one of the prime
principles of health. l breathed pure
air because could not help it. During
q service of fifteen months, with severe
exposures, but fresh air constantly, the
same immunity from colds prevailed

home from the army the blessing and
the curse-at least one of the curses of
civil life-came back together. l had

RnwerY PaMnslIons.

The pawnbrokers' sales shops have held
me before their windows many and many
an hour since childhood, and today when
pause before one | feel keeLer touch
of the impulses of youth than anything
else can bring back to me. There is much
humbug in the Bowery, but there is no
humbug in what these stores display. Pa
thos and tragedy are constantly exhibited
and enacted on every block Of that throb-
bling avenue, but it all seems to me as
nothing beside the tragic and pathetic
tales that are told by the goods in these
store fronts. The vanity of man is felt
by every poor stranger who is knocked
about and jostled by the crowds that
throng the pavement, but for sermon
upon vanity know no text in all New
York like the contents of one of these
windows. Ralph in Century,

THE GOLDEN ROD.

There's gold In the miser's chest
Fast locked with a golden key;
And agold most rare in woman's hair
And gold in the sands at sea;
There's a tawny gold on the wheat's 1.-THE
length
Where its breeze tossed pillows nod,
But never gold so full and free,
All, me-
None, none like the goldenrod.
There's gold on the naples branch
That CLEANS on an autumn lea,
And a golden crown when the sun dies
down
While the shadows turn and fee;
There's a wealth of gold in the pointed
leaves
Where the willow strews the sod,
But no such feathery filagree,
All, me
None, none like the goldenrod.
There's gold in the dawns faint streaks
That CLINT on the poplar tree,
There's gold in the mine, and in lees OF wine,
And gold on the humble bee.
But by the plumes of its knightly crest,
Where the wild wind rides roughshod,
There is never gold so fair to see,
All, me-
None, none like the goldenrod.

Fossil Shells Near Boston.

Twenty-one specimens of fossil shells
have been found in the vicinity of Bos-
ton. Some of these fossils were found
in the Muddy river, on the border of
Brookline; some have been found in the
dredging of the Charles river near the
Back Bay. Some of the oyster shells
are ten inches long. Other specimens
come from South Boston, midway be-
tween City Point and Castle island.
None of these are now existing north of
Cape Cod and but few north of New
Jersey, except in rare cases.-Phila-

A Colored Minister on the Election.

Rev. ". Il. Newly. pastor o. Union Wesley
A. NJ. E. Zion Church, Esd street between L
and N streets northwest, gave Q political turn
to his sermon yesterday. He preached from
Lev. XIV, 10: 1T shall be year Of jubilee unto
you" He said that this jubilee was festival
that the ancient Hebrews KEEP. every fft:eth
year, and was inaugurated by the blowing Of
trumpets. Also, according to the Mosaic law,
every seventh year, as well as every seventh
day, was observed as q period Of rest. The
chief design Of this feast, he said, was to pre-
vent the predominance Of the rich. Rev. Mr..
Newly likened the surprising results Of the
political world just now to the jubilee. The
people seem to think that they have been OPP
pressed and want to try the other side of poll
tics. He assured his hearers that there 10 no
cause to be alarmed, for God sits at the head Of
this government and whatever comes is for the
good Of His people.

MR.. MOsELEY's CHARGES.
Lieut.. Boyle and sergt. Myers to Be Tried
on Wednesday.

Lieut.. Boyle and sergt. Myers to Be Tried
on Wednesday.
Day after tomorrow the police trial board
will investigate charges preferred against Lieut.
Boyle and sergt. Myers, growing out Of the ar
rest OF Mr. Edward A. Moseley, secretary of
the interstate commerce commission, on p
charge Of threats. The arrest, which was
on charge of threats preferred by Lawyer
William Lane O'Neill OF New York, WAS made at
an early hour in the morning at the home
OF Mr. Moseley, the officers having been unable
70 IND him earlier in the evening.
Mr.. Moseley charges that the officers used
their official position to humiliate him. In his
complaint he recites the circumstances of his
arrest, saying he was sick at the time and that
MS offer to put up 81 900 or $4,000 collateral
for his appearance was refused. He further
charges that there was no foundation for the
charge against him and recites that the warrant
should have been served in a different manner.
Inc principal charge made by Mr.. Moseley is
the refusal of the police to accept the collateral
ano concerning this the police recall the order
OF the judges Of the Police Court not to accept
collateral in that class OF cases.
LIEUT.. BoYLE's REPORT
In answer to Mr.. Moseley's charges Lieut..
Boyle sent to Maj. Moore written report Of
the circumstances of the case in which he says
O'Clock in the afternoon and saw Sergt. Mye.s,
handing him the warrant for Mr.. Moseley's ar
rest on charge of threats. Sergt. Myers
sent Policeman Evans out ito serve the
warrant and summon the witnesses, but
being unable to find Mr.. Mcseley, he returned
10 the station and left the warrant there. About
7 o clock in the evening Lawyer O'Neill called
and demanded the service of the warrant, say
ing 1t was dangerous for him to walk the streets.
The lieutenant further says that Mr.. O'Neill
called several times during the evening. and
from his statements he (the lieuteuant) thought
the case was more than an ordinary one, and
he sent word to the sergeant TO have the war
rant served sometime about midnight The
warrant was served and he is informed by the
sergeant Mr.. Moseley was treated with all the
courtesy possible. He was not locked up in a
cell. Dut was put in room upstairs. in which
there was bed, and his attorney (Mr. Lips
comb was sent for as soon as possible. In con-
cluslon the lieutenant says he would not lend
the aid OF his position to humiliate any citizen
nor would he permit his subordinates to do SO.
THE TRIAL WILL BE PUBLIC.
The trial will probably take place at police
headquarters and will be public one 80 far as
the newspapers are concerned.
Mr.. Moselev desires to be represented by
counsel. but that matter will have to be deter
mined by the Commissioners. as heretofore
counsel to prosecute officers have not been per-
mtted. except in the trials of Lieuts Bote.er
and Guy, when the District Commissioners,
with a personal interest in the trials had one
OF the Districts legal representatives appear as
