Hard on the stomach.

The human stomach possesses most
wonderful powers of adaptation to cir
cumstances. When Lieut. Bligh and
his eighteen men were cast off from
the Bounty by the mutineers in an open
boat they subsisted forty-one days on a
daily allowance of one-twenty- fifth of
pound of biscuit per man and quar-
ter of a pint of water DIR. Tanner in
1880 tasted for forty days, subsistiug,
it is said, on water alone, and Succi
and other fasting men have since ex-
celled this. Kafirs, North American
Indians and the fat boy" in Pick
wick" may we'll be quoted as fearful
examples of voracity, but even their
gastron o mic feats are exceeded bv the
full-grown Esquimau,1 who will eat
daily twenty pounds of flesh and oil if
he has the chance, while on the au-

the course of European history. A
year or so before the war between Prus-
STA and Denmark. which preceded the
great struggle between France and
Germany, Bismarck was staying at
Biarritz. One IN rning, accompanied
by a huge dog, he was walking on a
road which runs along the base of a
cliff protected from the sea by a low
wall, when he met an old French naval
captain, with n wooden leg, powerfully
built and of peppery temper. The dog
became unduly attentive to the cap
tain's leg, and the Frenchman struck at
the animal with the butt of his fishing
rod. Bismarck swore, and the sailor
replied in the same dialect From lam
guage they came to blows, and in a few
moments Bismarck found that, strong
as ne was, the angry Frenchman was
lifting him bodily onto the parapet of
the wall. Another minute and he
would have been in the rapid current
of the sea below, and what would have
been the course of European history
during the last twenty-five years? But
at the critical moment help arrived-by
the irony of fate in the shape of ,sn

She Charmed the Old Man.

A wealthy and influential old farmer
of the quiet little village of Otselic,
Chenango county,N. Y, has eloped with
a buxom young married woman who was
visiting in the vicinity. a heartbroken
wife mourns the old mans departure
and an enraged young husband swears
vengeance on the fleeing pair.
Deloss Hicks has been resident OF
Otselic for many years and has amassed
very substantial fortune. His wife, a
true helpmate, has done her full share
toward providing the means with which
to enjoy pleasant old age. Some
months ago an attractive young mar
ried woman from an adjoining county
made her appearance in the commu-
nity on a visit. She remained for
several weeks with relatives and
friends, in the meantime visiting
at the home of Farmer Hicks. Here
she received cordial welcome
and was strongly urged to repeat
the visit before returning home, if pos
sible, but her husband unexpectedly
arrived one day and the young woman
was persuaded to return home with
him soon after.
Last week the residents Of South
Otselic were surprised to see the young
woman in town again, but nothing
more was thought of it until the start
ling announcement was made that
farmer Hicks had sold one of his farms
and stock, drawn his money from the
bank and left the country with the
young woman. Hicks's wife was not
aware of her husbands unfaithfulness
until she received letter from him the
day after his departure. 1t was very
brief and read as follows:
DEAR NARY have left one farm
for you and gone to Canada. Meet me
in Heaven. Your. DELosS.
The husband Of the clipping woman
was also favored with notification Of
her departure as follows:
DEAR FRANK-You may be surprised
to hear what / have done, but cannot
help it. l have gone to Canada with
another man and probably shall never
see you again on this earth. Bear it
bravely. CARRIE.
Although the people of South Otselic
were not aware of the fact, it is now be-
lieved Hicks and the young woman had
been intimate for some time and had
contemplated the elopement for several
weeks.
The young woman's husband is SC
enraged that it would not be safe for
either of the clippers to cross his path.
"If woman wants to leave man, let
her CO." said he to an acquaintance,
"But why add insult to injury and send
such note as received ~
The young woman, whose name is
Anderson, formerly resided with her
husband in a pleasant home near Rich
field Springs, and the couple were
thought to be living agreeably until af-
ter the woman's first visit to Otselic.
Mrs. Anderson is % years old and
Farmer Hicks IS. Nothing has been
heard of the runaways since their let
tiers were received last Tuesday.

EnisconalDiyines Differ.

"The duty of the churches of the An.
glican communion towards Roman
Catholic countries" was discussed al
the session of the Protestant Episcopal
Congress at Chickering Hall. in New
York, yesterday morning. After a
brief religious service conducted by
Bishop Dudley, the chairman, the dis
cussion was opened by Rev. Hall Har-
rison, of Maryland.
He said that the attitude of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church towards Cath
Ole countries depends upon the atti-
tude of those countries towards them.
He claimed that while the Church OF
Rome showed her fairest face in Amer
lea she is schismatic. He also said that
intrusion into country heretofore ex-
clusively Catholic was wrong and I'M
warranted.
Rev. VIM. Kirkus spoke in the place
of Rev. Thomas Richey, whom illness
prevented from appearing himself. He
agreed with Mr.. Harrison that inter-
ference is impertinence. He said that
the Roman Catholics cannot be con-
verted by external influence, and that
deserters from the faith of Rome would
make good infidels, but not devout
Episcopalians.
Rev. DR.. G. w. Dumbell followed in
a somewhat similar strain in regard TO
the main point at issue. He spoke OF
the similarity of many beliefs of both
churches, and in reference to the theory
of transubstantiation he said: when
the wine and bread of the sacrament are
consecrated, they become the real body
and bloodiof Jesus Christ" He was ap-
plauded and Kissed from different parts
of the house. The first opposition was
made by Rev. A. D. Kinsolving, who
claimed that the entrance into Catholic
countries is no intrusion, and cited the
opinion of several bishops to that effect.
"The Church of Rome intrudes when
ever she get ready, and are we to apol-
ogize for our existence and be troden
down ?" he added.
He said that it is the duty of the
church to go wherever she can and
spread the light of the Gospel.
Bishop A. C. Coke, of Buffalo, and
Bishop w. c. Doane. of Albany, fol-
lowed with conservative speeches con-
tanning strong arguments in favor OF
mission work and against the measures
of the Church of Rome.
Rev. Thomas Richey, who had so far
recovered as to be present, made ashort
volunteer speech, which was review
of the opinions of the bishops.

SATURDAY EVENING NOV. IS, 1893

A PUBLIC meeting in Georgetown has
declared that while the people of that
town will not object to the malnte-
nance of theAqueduct andLong bridges,
they will oppose, to the extent Of their
ability. the construction of a bridge
across the river at Arlington. A bridge
at Arlington would be the commence
ment of Mt. Vernon Avenue, road
that is desired and required, not only
by the people OF Washington and Alex
andria, but by those of the whole
country who, when in the former, may
like to visit Arlington and Mt. Vernon,
and as the requisite money, the surplus
of the appropriation for the national
cemeteries, is lying unused in the
Treasury. the bridge should not only
be built, but be built as soon as practical

commerce OF Georgetown cannot be
sustained.
