mainly of negative character.
DR.. Charles A. Doremus testified to find

This brings up an interesting story.
In his writings Mr.. Crawford tells OF
his first appearance in the French court
and of the bow which he made on that
occasion. He vas too modest, however,
to describe the scene, or rather, the
effect, which his personality produced.
When he entered the court, with his
lofty bearing and his tall impressive fig
ure, decorated for the first time with tile
apparel OF his high commission, as the
American minister to that court, he
was received with the utmost demon
stration. The emperor was deeply i'm
pressed. He avowed that Mr.. Crawford
WAS the only man to whom he had eve
been constrained to bow and on that
occasion he overstepped the custom and
made a repetition Of his courtesy.
Fashioned in a gigantic mold Mr..
Crawford was one of the handsomest
men that ever lived. He was a man of
great talent and of intellectual super
iority. He was recognized as the equal
of any of his adversarics in the highest
councils OF the land, and as a candidate
for the highest Office in tho nations

Since last fall thirteen families have
been broken up on Greenbrier river, the
result of the women becoming enam'
ored of faith presented by the elders
and the elders themselves. Nearly all
of these women have left the country,
and are supposed to have gone to Utah,
though there is no trace left behind to
tell what their destination was to be.

was right for them to teach the gospel
to less enlightened people. Nonbeliev-
ers do not take any stock in the stories
Of the women entering the missionary
field, and think they go away for a
very different purpose.
Yesterday was bsptizing day, and
converts from points all along tho
Greenbrier river had gathered at n deep
poal a few miles above Glover Lick.
There were several hundred of tho
faithful and converts on hand to wit
ness the ceremony. One old fellow,
named Peterson, was very much en-
Unused over his prospective dip into
the icy water of G%reenbriar river.
He stood on the bank and
shouted "Glory.' at the top of
his voice till he was hoarse and ex-
hausted. Finally it came his turn to
''wadc into the dark and stormy Jor-
dan" as tho elder called it. AS he
went in, he shouted ut the people on
the banks for all the unsnved to come
at once. Just as the elder dipped him
he seemed t o lose all control of him
self, and in n minute he and the elder
We're struggling in each others embrace.
The elder was willing TO let go, but the
old man held on to him evidently try
ing to drown the elder. For fully ten
minutes the struggle kept up, the elder
seeing that he had q lunatic to deal
with. FRS: one would be under water
and then the other. Finally the eldes
was apparently played out, and tha
convert got him under the water
for good. He held him there,
shouting that he had drowned the flesh
and the devil, for nearly a minute. BY
that time, men on the bank had come
to their senses, and several OF them
rushed to the old man and forced him
to let the elder go. The elder was in
sensible, and did not come to for fully
half an hour, and is in a critical condi.
lion from his experience. The convert
was got out of the river after a great
effort, and has been confined. He is
violently insane and will have to be
sent to the asylum. There were q lot
ynore converts to be dipped, but none of
fhe elders felt quite equal to the task
yesterday, and the work will be post"
boned for n week. The elders say they
kvill be careful to have guards along
the bank hereafter to prevent relig-
iously demented people from drowning
them.
