THEY WON'T GO THERE ANY MORE.

As a party of voters were vending their way homeward from the town meeting in the wee small hours in the morning, feeling very much elated with their success, they thought as they were nearing home they would give their friends sample of their vocal powers. Accordingly they seated themselves on friends front step and expanded their lungs to their utmost, when suddenly, right in the most interesting part of their song, they were surprised with gentle shower bath. We will draw the curtain here. The scene that tram spired is better imagined than described, but to say the air looked blue around that particular spot for while, would be mildly expressing it.

AN INTERESTING ADDREss.-The
Second Presbyterian Church was
crowded last night to its fullest capac-
ity by representatives of all denomiua-
tions to hear the address of the colored
missionary, Rev. w. H. Sheppard, who
has been preaching the Gospel in dark
est Africa. The speaker was entertain
ing, and his address, which lasted over
an hour, was listened to with marked
attention. He illustrated his remarks
by exhibiting several articles in use
among the tribes living near the Con-
go, and described their manners and
customs in an easy but graphic style.
Sheppard is said to have penetrated six
hundred miles farther into the dark COLI
tinent than any other explorer. While q
man of no mean ability, the missionary
is of q retiring nature and humble and
transformations. His soul is in his work
and his whole bearing shows that he Is
especially equipped for the work to
which he has been cad. Devoid OF
all incorporate zeal, he exhibits G
steady purpose which is sure to bear
fruit eventually. He will return to his
post shortly. Most of the pastors Of
the various churches of the city were
present, and numbers of colored peo-
pie were il the audience.
