just an incident of New YORK.

A hand organ was responsible the other
day for an accident display Of GOODNESS
and courage, an exchange of cOurtesies
and, what always delights Americans be-
cause it excites them, thrilling scene. A
horseback rider coming down Riverside
drive at a sharp trot, turned into West
Seventy second street. Down West End
avenue rolled a handsome victoria, in
which were q man and a woman In
Seyenty-secOnd street, east of West End
avenue, stood a son of Italy, grinding out
his tunes from a cabinet organ on wheels
The victoria came around into Seventy
second street just in time to be slightly in
advance OF the horseman. His steed was
a spirited one, and only the firm hand on
the reins kept it in check. The rider had
just come abreast of the victoria when his
steed, alarmed by the organ, gave a sud
den plunge to the left and crashed into
the victoria. To those who saw the leap
and heard the noise it seemed as if the
horse had gone clear through the carriage,
and then they saw that the stccd was
riderless and plunging, while the woman
in the carriage was screaming loudly.
In the next instant there arose from be-
tween the victoria and tho frenzied steed
the hOrseman, clinging to his horses bri-
u4es 44b udu Dttu nuED Wlcu ne was
thrown or knocked Off Only the condi
ton Of his clothes showed it, for he was
as calm and self possessed as if in a draw
ing room. With one hand he brought his
plunging animal to its feet, and with the
other he raised his hat as he peered into
the victoria aud offered his apologies and |
TegTO,s fe- the accident. The woman
had ceased to scream, and tho three char /
acters Of this little drama Exchanged few /
polite words. Then, again, the sFFo men /
lifted their hats in parting salute, th,-
coaohman Of the victoria drove on, and
the horselnan swinging himself lightly in

Welsh Names.

The Welsh have many peculiar names in
their nomenclature, or possibly peculiar
way Of using names, as in the case Of a
Welsh storekeeper, who had on his sign
the names John Mary Williams This is
a relic Of an old custom when Maria was
name shared by both sexes, as Jean Maria
Farina 1t appeared that a Mr.. Williams,
q man Of position, had in his household a
woman servant named Mary, who was
known by her masters family name, VIII
liams When the woman married, she kept
the names by which she was best known
and added to them her husbands Christian
name, john bit Of diplomacy in tho way
Of trade Her husband was always alluded
to as John Mary Williams.
In ancient times the Welsh were known
by personal peculiarities, as the American
Indians are at the present time, Hook Nose,
Squint Eyes, Black Bear, Crooked Tooth
and Fast Foot being the only cognomens
bestowed ON them. Then come the Hebrey
Names which the Welsh people employ in
their most poetic form, Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob and David being softened and subll-
mate by the ancient Welsh spelling and pro
nunciation. These people are very fond of
the Old Testament characters, and al
though a purely Celtic race they love the
grand old names Of Gods chosen people
and bestow them on their children from
generation to generation.
There are few Welsh names that are
favorites with people of all Countries
Llewellyn, for example, or Hugh, which
is not 80 distinctively Welsh.-Detroit

TAI MAHAL OF INDIA.
REV. DR.. TALMAGE DESCRIBES A
WONDERFUL TOMB.

/ Vivid Word Picture of the Most Wonderful
of IdOlatrous Temples-An to Cover a
Handful Of Dust-The Great Campaign
of the Gospel.
BROOKLYN, Jan. Elm continuing his
series of round the world sermons
through the press Rev. DR.. Talmage today
chose for his subject Tomb and Temple, "
having reference to that most famous and
beautiful of mausoleums, the Tai MahaL
The text selected was, From India even
unto Ethiopia Esther /, D.
In all the Bible this is the only book in
which the word India occurs, but it stands
for a realm of vast interest in the time of
Esther, as in our time. 1t yielded then, as
now, spices and silks and cotton and rice
and indigo and ores Of all richness and
precious stones of all sparkle and had
civilization of its own as marked as Fgyp-
tian or Grecian or Roman civilization 1t
holds the oostliest tomb ever built and the
most unique end wonderful idolatrous
temple ever opened. For practical lessons
in this my sixth discourse in round the
world series I show you that tomb and
temple of India.
In a journey around the world it may
not be easy to tell the exact point which
divides the pilgrimage into halves. But
there was one structure toward which we
were all the time travelling and having
seen that we felt that if we saw nothing
more our expedition would be a success.
That one object was the Tai Mahal Of In .
dia. 1t IS the crown of the whole earth .
The spirits of architecture met to inthrone
a king, and the spirit of the Parthenon of
Athens was there, and the spirit of St
Sophia of Constantinople was there, and
the spirit Of St. Izaak Of st. Petersburg
was there, and the spirit of the Baptistry
Of Pisa was there, and the spirits of the
great pyramid, and of Luxor Obelisk,
and of the Porcelain tower of Nankin,
md of St. Marks Of Venice, and the
iplrits Of all the great towers, great cathe-
trails, great mausoleums, great sarcophagi,
great capitols for the living and of great
for the dead were there. And
he presiding genius of the throng with
yavel of Parian marble smote the table of
Russian malachite and called the throng
# spirits to order, and called for a vote as
o which spirit should wear the chief
roWn and mount the chief throne and
wave the chief scepter, and by unanimous
cclaim the cry was; Long live the spirit
f the Tai, king of all the spirits of archi
