American temperance ngitators would
not enjoy them selves in Austria. A
native OF Il small village, after long
cataleptic trance, year ago, declared
that he had been 10 Heaven and had
been commissioned by the Almighty
to return and teach the peasants the
wickcdness Of drinking spirits. Soon
the entire village took an oath Of total
abstinence The district governor com

WHISKY Truly sANorlEIep.
A FLASK Ia Walled Up In = New Jersey
Church,

Church.
Tho distinction OF having quart
flask OF whisky walled up In tho
structure belongs 10 the Sacred Heart
church Of this city, says New Bruins
wick special to the New York sun. Al.
though the church has been built for
over ten years, this was not generally
known until recently. Ten years ago
last October the corner stone OF the
church was laid, and the work OF
building the cdiice was pushed as rap
idly us possible, so that before the
dawn ufthc new year the walls were up
10 the first story. The cold was in
tense at this time, and some Of tho
masons employed on tho building nc
CURED the habit Of depending upon
stimulants to keep their blood In circu-
lation. Consequently u large quart
flask was brought into requisition, and
frequen, trips were mado from time to
time To q hotel to keep IL filed
with the enlivening fluid The men
had their whisky with great regular
ity until an incident occurred unex-
pectedly one day that upset their cal
culations for the time being.
The flask had just been replenished,
and the men were making ready 10 en-
JOY it, when they were startled by tho
sudden appearance of Father MulliRan
in company with several other ecclesi-
astics, who had come to mako an in
spcction OF the progress Of the work.
The man who had the TASK happened
to be quicls.witted. or the secret would
have been out. Without moments
hesitation he quickly slowed the flask
In between the inner and outer walls,
while the other men went on with
their work, consoling themselves with
tho Thought Of the good cheer that
awaited them when the visitors de-
parted They reckoned IN vain.
Father Mulligan aud his friends re-
manned close TO where the men were
working for n long time. Although
the wall was gradually inclosing tho
precious whisky bottle, the masons did
not dare stop work for fenr OF exciting
suspicious.
When the party finally took Eta do
parturc, 10 their dismay the masOns
found that the flask was out OF sight,
and all efforts To get IL were unavnil-
ing. They did not dare tear the wall
down to get 1t, so the whisky remained
in the wall, and tho filling Of cement
sealed IL securely.
The men who were engaged In erect
ing the building lived out Of town, and
the story OF the flask was recalled SOW
cral days ago, when one of the men,
who was visiting this city, went TO the
church to attend service, aud thus had
the incident brou ght 10 his memory.

GOOD STRAIGHT BLOW UNDER THE JAW.
Such answers usually settled the mat
ter, but on one occasion In the little
settlement of Genotown u mob, headed
by a lanky old mountaineer, came
down to the church to mob the
preacher and stop the services, under
the impression that the preacher was a
union spy In disguise. The preacher,
however, insisted ON preaching, and,
after holding forth vigorously at the
leader OF the mob and automatically
avoiding political subjects, he noted
signs of weakness in the old man, and,
saying 10 himself, "Well, we've
preached the devil half way out Of him,
let's pray out the other half" he called
on the leader of the mob 10 lead in
prayer, The old fellow got down and
prayed like bishop, and at tho con-
clusion Of the service went out and dis
persed the mob and promised to join
the preacher in an eight weeks rev ival
meeting beginning from date.
The young circuit rider had num-
Der OF experiences with tho soldiers on
either side of the existing unpleasant
ness. They were not 30 amenable TO
reason as were the laity, and ON one
occasion he met a gray-clad rough
rider of Gen Imbodcns regiment well
down toward Dixie and came near los
ing his horse and saddlc-bags, which
made up the whole Of his worldly
wealth. The cavalryman got the drop
on him and insisted ON u very unfair
exchange of mounts and accoutrc-
ments, but the willy minister caught
his opponent OFF his guard and hit him
n good Straightforward blow under the
point OF tho jaw, and after short,
sharp but decisive tu,slc, rode oil with
the cuvalryman's revolver, rciraining
from giving him the benefit OF it3 con-
tents, although strongly tempted to do
30. The next day he rode boldly into
Gen. lmboden's camp, called on the
commander, and returned the revolver,
with the story of how he had come To
get hold of it A drutnhcad court-mur-
tial soon taught the soldier better man-
ners toward itinerant ministers, and
the muscular preacher was provided
with n pass that aitorward carried him
safe through the lines, until, at the end
of a six months term of service, he re-
turned 10 his home north OF the line
very much the wiser for his first eX-
perience as a circuit-riding minister

on either side as to whether he was
