The seventh anniversary OF the pas
torate OF the Rev. w. r. McEwan was
celebrated in the Rodney Street Pres.
byterian Church yesterday morning
In the presence of a large congrega-
ton. The platform aud desk were
profu sely decorated with flowers. Mr.
blcEwan preached from st. Luke ~:
ls -.
because lie hath Amounted mo to
preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath
sent me to heal the broken-hNurted; to
preach dcliverence to the capLives and
recovering of sight to the blind; to set
at liberty them that are bruised to
preach the acceptable year OF the
Lord"
After dwelling upon the general
scope OF his text Mr.. McEwan said
that on tho second Sunday In May,
1888, lie began to preach to the con-
gregation In Rodney street church,
then Q mission OF the Central Church,
under the ministry of DR.. Nixon. On
tho 18th OF November, 1885, he was or.
dained to the ministry.
Continuing Mr.. MeEwan said:
The Rodney Street Church was or
ganized the 2uth OF January, 1856 and
/ was Installed as pustor on the 18th
day OF May. 1886. The church was or
6unihsu WIN Hity-liVe mentors or, y

and in 1902. 25B. The whole number
received has been 29l In six years. Dur.
that tlme seventy-one infants haze
been baptised into the church. The
church has contribIted in this time
$50. 213.0C. SS, 1900 OF which has besh
for benevolent work outside of the
church."
Mr.. McEwan then referred to tho
great peace and harmony that existed
i'll the church, there never having been
a rupture or friction OF any kind. A
church with such history he snld,
must in the Providence Of God have a
great future.

AN AEROLITE SOLD TO THE. BRITISH
MUSEUM FOR $500.

believe it is now pretty generally
admitted that aerolites o. meteorites
come from volcanoes on the moon.
One Of the most remarkable of these
falls of stones from the upper region OF
the air occurred in May, 1879, the stone
falling upon the farm of Mrs. c.. H.
Perry, of Emmett county, Iowa.
Efforts were made to have the stone
removed to the museum OF the Daveu-
port (Ia.) Academy of Science, but as
such a proceeding would entail an ex-
pense of something like 5000 the moss
backs of that institute let the scheme
fall through, the attempt to raise the
money having resulted in a flat fail
ure. Finally a Mr.. Berge, of Keokuk,
made Il trip to Emmett county for the
purpose of inspecting the curiosity.
says the Philadelphia Press.
After giving it a thorough chemical
cluslon that it was wholly mike any
thing in the aerOlite ike that had ever
been attracted to u globe, By IL fine
system of chemical tests he found that
1t was composed of earth, triolite, iron,
nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, magnesia,
alumina, soda. lithia, and potassium.
Berge bought the oddly of Mrs. Perry
for $3.50, and gave the tenant of the
farm $50 more for his "risht' and his
help.
1t was removed to keOkuk and ex-
hl5lted there for some time. At last
the %curators of the British museum,
who had learned of the odd combina-
ton OF minerals in the stones make
~, sen an agent to purchase it. AT
ter much pickering the royal institu-
ton gave Mr.. Berge $500 for his
"moonstone." 1t weighed 431 pounds

In MemOriam.

In loving memory of Miss .Azelie
Larose, who departed this fife on
Friday, December 10th, 1892.
THE boast OF heraldrv, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty e>er gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour.
The path of glory leads but to the grave
Death has entered that quiet and
happy household, and taken from
them II of its most loved and cher
lshed members. Their darling Azelie
was the hope of their home /; she was
like a bright star that radiates the
heavens. And oh! how desolate every
thing seems!
No more they see her happy form,
nor hear her footsteps tt at broug hap
piness to their hearts.
She has left a vacancy that never
can be filled. Years may relieve the
cverburdened and stricken hearts,
bnt they never ii wash out the met
faceable memory of her presence IN
their home.
A devoted mother and father,
brothers and sisters, may shroud their
bosom of parental suffering, no garni-
ture of household woe will ever recall
to life their dear dead Azelie.
But let them content themselves
that Whatever God does is for the
best and though they shall see her
no more in this world, they will be
rewarded by joining her in heaven
above.
May her soul rest in peace.

ragged edge" groweth hourly more
uncomfortable and the uneasiness of
the aforesaid would-be assessors
lesseneth not. But "all things come
to him who waiteth," and soon the
lightning will fash forth from the
crest of the gubernatorial chair and
it will knock the would-be assessors
in divers ways some it will knock
Tito position, and same again, and of
this class by far the more, it will
knock-si.ly. And to the right there
will be rejoicing with exceeding joy ;
and to the left, great sorrow, and wall
ing and crashing Of teeth.
