a fact worthy Of note that Of the more
than 200. 0G0 colorcd members reported
BY this church in 1860, only very few
remain in connection with it. Thous-
ands nj the close o the war joined other
Methodist bodies, and in 1870 the

THE NEWEST SrocKING.-Never
have stockings been more elaborate
than this season. They are likely to be
smart while trailing dresses which re-
ouire holding up are the fashion for
street wear. They are made entirely OF
openwork silk and cotton. Pretty
stockings for evening wear III black have
delicate colors introduced under the
lace fronts-blue, pink or yellow. Tar
tan patterns seem very popular just
now.-RoseleGf.

WHEN a third party leader advises
the Virginia farmer who raises sheep to
vote the third party ticket, and thereby
to help the republicans to eject theirs,
the farmer should ask HIN how it is
that with the tariff tax imposed by the
Mckinley bill on wool, the price OF
that article is lower now than it has
been at any time during the last four
years? OF course the high tariff did
not lower the price of wool, but that it
has not helped the wool grower is
equally as plain.

4 DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-Mol-
lie E. Glover, the wife of William E.
Glover, a commercial salesman, living
in Washington, died suddenly last even
ing in commissions at the confectionery
store OF Martha Spencer, colored, on
Third street northwest, where she had
gone for a piece Of ice. When the un-
fortunate lady was seized by the fit the
proprietress of the store struggled with
her. She tried to throw herself out of
the window, was wildly insane, and all
attempts to calm her were of no avail.
She succeeded in releasing herself, and
demolished Mrs. Spencer's bed in her
paroxysms. She then came in contact
with a window from which the casing
had been taken, cutting her limbs and
hands. At last, becoming exhausted,
she was placed upon couch, and a
moment later her sufferings ended in
death. Mr.. Glover, the husband of the
dead lady, in speaking of the sad occur
renee, said: During the terrific thun-
der storm on Thursday night, July II,
my wife was sleeping with my sister,
and during crash Whlch occurred
about a. m, they ran to the room oc
cupied by my brother-in-law and my
self, terrified and half fainting. Restora
tives were applied, and my wife said in
explanation, and was corroborated by
my sister, that large ball of fire had
come in at the window and fell on the
bed between. Both were sick in bed
from that night until the following week.
The slightest startling noise from that
time would throw them into violent
commissions. l am certain from what
can learn that the falling of the lid of
the ice-box at the store, which makes a
sharp report, threw her into convul-
sions, and her system gave way entire
w under the terrible strain. Mrs.
Glover was native of Virginia and
was married little over year ago.

SUGAR Is cheap because the tarihtaX
on it has been removed; quinine is
cheap for the same reason; shoes are
cheap because there is no tariff tax on
raw hides, and the cost ofpaper has been
reduced because the tariff tax on rags
has been taken off, Ifthc tariff tax Oh
all the other many necessaries of life
were removed. the price OF those ar
ticles would be similarly affected, and
the cost of living be reduced fifty per
cent, which, to poor people, would bea
blessing, and not in disguise, either.

PRINCESS AND CoUNTEss.-Thc wild
est sensation has been caused in the So
ciaI contingent of Vienna, owing to
duel fought between the great and all
powerful Princess Pauline Metternich
and the Countess kilmaunsegg, the
wife of the Stathalter of Lower Aus
tria. A misunderstanding occurred be-
tween them over the management Of
the musical exhibition at Vienna. as
both ladies had been the means of It's
success. The dispute became so seri-
Gus that it was decided to be settled in
mortal combat. The ladies travelled to
Vadug, the capital of the little princi-
pality of Lichtenstein, on the Swiss
frontier, the town which Prince Alois
Lichtenstcin some time ago offered to
the Pope as city of refuge in the
event of his being obliged to leave the
Vatican. The duel was fought with
rapiers. At the third round the Prin-
cess was slightly wounded on the nose,
and the Countess on the arm. There
upon the two seconds, Princess Schwar-
zenberg and Countess Kinsky, advised
them to embrace, kiss. and make
friends, which, accordingly, they did.
Their wounds were attended to by
Baroness Lubinsko, Polish lady who
has studied medicine and obtained a
doctors degree, and whom they had pru-
IDENTIFY sent from Warsaw to attend the
duel

NOTHING HAS become more popular
in this country than denunciation OF
rich men, and that, too, though most OF
such men commenced life as laborers,
and acquired their wealth by working,
not eight, but fifteen hours a day, and
by sobriety, economy and thrift But,
all the same, that it is very handy TO
have rich men about, is proved by the
facts that one OF them has offered an
island in New York harbor for the ac-
commodation of the people on board
the quarantined ships there, and that
another has offered to carry them there
in his steamboat, though liberal pay
would not induce other people to per

bic that confinement Of the immigrants
