Ministerial Finance.

The RAM Horn, which is a novelty
in religious journalism, has the fol-
lowing observation on ministerial
finances in the course Of an article on
''The Prophet Jonah"
"a most remarkable thing about
Jonah is that when he boarded the
ship for Tarshish, he paid the fare
himself. He didn't try to get a pass
on account Of his poverty or expect
reduction because he was preacher,
but pulled out his wallet and laid down
the cash, and went to his stateroom
without any letting down in his self
respect. If he had any such thing as
a ministerial whine, he left it behind
him when he travelled. He did not go
to the captain with long face and
complain that God had been taking
such poor care of him that unless he
could travel at nominal rates he
couldn't 60 on that ship, but he paid
the fare in full, and he paid it out Of
money he found in his own pocket.
''Unlike Jonah, there are some
preachers who are not as anxious as
they should be to render an honest
equivalent for what they get, and
then there are others who hurt the
cause of God by always being in beg
ging attitude for the church. Jesus
Christ was poor but he never begged.
God always puts it into the heart of
somebody to minister to him according
to his need, and he is still taking care
of his servants who are faithful. A
law was handed down to Moses from
heaven, that the faithful OK who srod
out the grain should not be muzzled,
and this ought to be evidence enough
that God means that the preacher who
is any account shall always have
enough to eat. The OK didn't have to
moan and groan for straw enough to
keep him alive, but had Godgiyen
right to help himself to corn whenever
he wanted it. Certainly there is no
reason why the faithful minister
should not have rest from anxiety
about temporal things, in believing
that the God whom he serves will
supply all his temporal needs.
About the last thing Christ did for
his disciples was to prepare for them
breakfast, and yet too many preach
ers appear to be afraid to open the
Bible very wide for fear they will
have to die in the poor house.

Fell Forty Feets

Ayoung farmer from Clayton county
named Dickers had a thrilling expert
ence yesterday afternoon, which only
providential miracle prevented from
resulting in his death.
Just why he was not instantly killed
was one of those miracles that is yelled
in the inscrutible providence of God.
After spending part of the day in
Atlanta yesterday he started on foot
for his home in Clayton county.
He walked on the Atlanta and Flori-
da railroad for about five miles, when
he reached the long trestle spanning
South river, which is about six miles
south of the city. The trestle is be-
tween Is and 100 feet in height.
Seeing no train in sight he boldly
set out to walk across the trestle, as
he had done many times before.
On reaching the centre, however, he
saw to his horror a long freight train
approaching at lightning speed. See
ing that there was no chance to escape
either by retracing his steps or advan.
cling, his blood froze with horror and
his hair stood on end with fright, and
his first impulse was to- take flying
leap to the ground, one hundred feet
below.
There seemed to be no escape from
a horrible death. With the despera.
ton of despair, however the thought
seized him to swing himself down and
hang suspended by his hands from the
end of one Of the crossties.
The train was a long one and it
seemed an age in passing over the
half-fainting and exhausted man hang
ing beneath its rapidly revolving
wheels.
At length the receding noise indica-
ted that it had passed. Then the man
whose hold was fast weakening made
a desperate effort to pull himself back
upon the trestle But the strain on
the muscles was too great. A period
of blindness ensued and the suspended
body shot like bullet from a rife
downward-his grasp had loosened.
About forty feet below were some
cross timbers that supported the tres:
tie, and on these the body fell and
lodged.
The man was knocked senseless by
the fall, but happily regained consci:
BUSINESS in time to maintain his hold
on the timbers and this was all that
saved him.
In a half-dead condition he remain
ed in this perilous perch for an hour
or more when his groans attracted a
couple of farmers who were coming
to Atlanta in a wagon.
The rescue of the unfortunate man
was with difficulty effected, and he
was brought to Atlanta and placed in
the hospital where his injuries were
looked after.
Strange to say no very serious dam
ages were sustained in the fall, but
the man will be laid up for month
or more.-Atlanta Constitution.

| Nick exclaimed.
"That's fair p the congregation

Nick exclaimed.
"That's fair ~ the congregation
shouted.
"Well, then, come inside now and
listen quietly to what I have to say"
They went in and sat down, and
now hush fell upon the crowd that a
few moments before had been 80 noisy.
"My dear friends" said the preacher,
II want to tell you of Man whose
life was tender and beautiful, who
shared the sorrow of all humanity.
He poured faith and love into hearts
that were broken. He plucked the
evil glitter from the eye of human
wickedness, and in its place set the
warm glow of trust and affection. Do
you want to hear about this Man p
eyes, tell us" the congregation
shouted.
Then the preacher in words as sim
pie as the prattle story of a child, told
them of the Saviour Of mankind. 1t
was a story that many Of them had
heard and forgotten, and the recollec-
tion came back to them like warm
whisper of love. When the story had
been finished, when hymn had been
sung, the people silently dispersed.
The next day 100 axes rang in the
woods. The men were getting out
logs to be used in the costru ction of a
new church.

General Butler's Position.

Desiring to have from Senator Butler
statement Of his position in relation to
the proceedings instituted by him to test
the constitutionality of the present elec-
ton laws, representative of the State
approached him yesterday with the fol-
lowing inquiry:
"Com plant is made that having prof.
ted by the registration laws for number
of years, the effort you are making to
nullify them does come in good grace
from you. Have you anything to say in
reply to this ?"
hWell, don't know that am called
upon to 60 outside the record to explain
anything. But II I am responsible for
these laws land I suppose l am in
measure) although I had no more to do
with framing and passing them than any
other citizen of the State, then 1 don't
know who can afford better than myself
to pursue every proper and legal course
to remedy the evils growing out of them.
"One thing is very certain-ifthe frauds
practiced in the late election should be
attempted again, white men, taxpayers,
who were disfranchised and cheated will
60 to the polls with their shotguns and
Winchester rifles and maintain their
rights against the Ring at every hazard.
would be better to make an effort to
cure the evils, if there is an evil, in the
courts, in a lawful, enlightened way,
than by the other methods. That's all 1t
means.
"Of course if I were to invoke IAN
answer from the stars the Ringsters
would complain. So am indifferent to
their criticisms, and can afford to abide
the result, whatever it may be, with as
much composure as any of them."
"But, Senator" asked the reporter,
lido you not think this move will preiu-
dice your prospects for reelection ?"
"Oh, well, that question never entered
my mind, and don't know what effect
it may have; and, what is more, I don't
care. I am simply doing what think
ought to do, what any citizen has right
to do; and the result must take care of
itself. No honest man need fear any
thing from this proceeding. No man
fairly and honestly elected to office need
fear. OF course the hit dog will holler,'
but don't see why every good, law
abiding citizen should not join in having
this question settled in the courts. 1t
must be settled somewhere. We cannot
continue under the present regime Of
fraud and election swindling without
winding up with bloodshed and revolu-
ton. It is to anticipate and avoid this
that I am moving in the courts; and l
shall not shrink from whatever RESPONSE
bility may attach to nay action
"Yeg. But, Senator, it has been sug-
gested that you were q party to the frauds
in the elections Of 1875"
81 don't see just how that charge will
lie. The Republicans had the machinery
of that election, and of course were res
ponsible. They had the com mmissionerss,
managers canvsssing g6s boards ana an
methods were adopted by us all in '76.

The occurrence of what is known
as ball lightning is so rare that every
instance Of it is Of some interest.
The London Lancet describes q mar
row escape from death by this form Of
lightning, which was experienced by
a distinguished surgeon Of Louvain,
who had gone to visit patient in a
neighboring g town. He was overtaken
by thunderstorm, and what be de-
scribed as ball of fire descended upon
and rendered him for some time un-
conscious. On coming to himself he
found that the cloth Of the umbrella
which he had been holding was COM
pletely burned off it's steel framework,
the metal being twisted into every
shape. He attributes his safety to
the circumstance that the umbrella
had wooden handle. Had it been Of
metal he must have been instantane-
ously killed.-CAama6ers' Journal.

The Courtship OF Animal Life.

The wooing of birds is most refined
and graceful. Love tunes their re-
spective pipes, and they seek to capti-
vate their mates by their sweetest
notes and most varied warblings.
The wood pigeon charms his lady-love
by a series Of aerial evolutions and a
curious Topping Of his strong wing
feathers, putting his breast, and ten
derly cooing. At mating time the
plumage of male birds is more hand
some than at any other period-in-
deed, some birds assume different
colors in the Spring.
Yellow-hammers charm their mates
by displaying their tall feathers in the
form Of fan startlings chatter in
the sunshine to show the metallic
beauty of their breast feathers, and
swallows circle and double in graceful
flight before their lady-loves.
Bright shells, flowers, feathers and
grasses are laid by the bower bird at
the entrance of his partners retreat !;
and the tiny humming birds WOO most
assiduously, showing off their lovely
hues and engaging in fierce combat
with possible rival, even bringing
nectar from the choicest flowers for
the delectation of their fair brides.
Hen birds exhibit all the vagaries Of
their sex, and pretend to be indiffer-
ent to the exertions Of their admirers.
Counting among insects is often q
very elaborate affair. A male spider
will approach female and amuse her
for some time with his antics. 1t is
said that he twirls around and around,
crosses his legs, erects his body, and
executes a sort of may dance to ex-
cite her admiration. She is a very
vicious lady, and not always pleased
with his love-making; sometimes he
finds himself obliged to ward her off,
for she has painful mode Of showing
her displeasure, and if she entirely
disapproves of his attentions will fall
upon him and rend him to pieces.

A Confederate Joke.

It is not often that an outsider,
especially if this outsider be citizen
of another State, can adjourn session
Of a legislature, yet this happened
once when the legislature of the State
of Georgia was adjourned by Ten
nesseean, says the Washington Post.
1t all happened in the fall Of 1864,
during the civil war, just after the
battle of Franklin, Tenn.
1t will be remembered that the bat
tie of Franklin was most disastrous
one to the Confederates, 80 far as loss
of men was concerned. Hood was in
command Of the Confederate forces,
having recently succeeded General
Johnston, and he was foolish enough
to think that he could capture the
Yankee forces when they were en-
sconced behind impregnable breast
works.
The action of Hood and the crit
icism to which he had been subjected
on account of his management of
affairs during this and other battles, is
a part of history and has nothing to do
with the story which Congressman
McDearmond, of the Ninth Tennes-
see district, was to crowd of friends.
It was just after the battle of Frank
lin, however, and the Confederate
army was somewhat demoralized, none
of them liking Hood as commanding
officer, when Congressman McDear-
mon, then a private in the rear rank,
in company with Knapp Gillespie,
of Humbolt, Tenn, was making his
way to the army in North Carolina to
join their command.
On their way they passed through
Georgia and chanced to stop in Mill
edge7ille, then the capitol Of the State.
The two Confederate soldiers were
feeling pretty good, having on their
rounds been fortunate enough to get
hold of good supply Of mountain
dew" when strolling down the streets
of Milledgeville, they stopped in front
of little church, and learning from
some passerby that the Georgia legis-
lature was in session in the church,
theywalked in.
The proceedings Of the session were
not of an exciting nature, at least not
enough to interest men who had SO
lately been stirred to action by the
trumpet's blare and the cannon's roar,
and after listening to the dull routine
for half an hour. Lieutenant GILLESPIE,
emboldened by a goodly load Of
mountain dew" rose from his seat
and moved that "the legislature do
now adjourn" Some old member
from back district promptly seconded
the motion. To what hour shall the
adjournment be ?" asked the chairman.
ssTill eight O'clock" replied Lieu
tenant Gillespie, and the motion was
put and carried.
After. adjournment some Of the
members got onto the joke, and
McDearmond and Lieutenant Gillespie
were the heroes Of the hour, and when
they left Milledgeville they had added
considerably to their supply of
'smountain dew" This is the only
instance on record where legislature
was ever adjourned on motion of an
outsider and Congressman McDear-
mond vouched for the truth Of the
story. It may be added that these
were war times, and since that time
both McDearmond and Gillespie have
reformed all their wicked ways.
