THE EPIsCOPALIANs.

at Minneapolis yesterday Inc OPP
poncnts of the constitution revision in
the Episcopal Church showed their
hand in the house of deputies when
Stephen P. Nash, Of New York, offer
ed resolution calling for the commit
ment of the constitution to new re-
visional commission. 1t was stipulated
that all amendments before the conven
ton should be referred, that the COM
mission should report to the next con
vention, and that the report should BE-
10 the form of definite amendments to
he present constitution.
Louis Stockton, of We tern New
York, asked the ruling of the cnair as
to whether this resolution was in order.
DR.. Dix ruled that it was not, since
the present commission had not yet
presented its full report, nor had it
been discharged from duty. As no one
was ready to move the discharge of the
present commission, consideration Of
it's report was re resumed.
A motion to strike out section 3,
which provides for the office OF "pri-
mate" to be held by the senior bishop,
was defeated-17S to 120.
When section was taken up, Judge
Fairbanks, of Florida, moved to amend
by restoring the number of clerical and
lay deputies from each diocese to the
present number of four. This was ac-
cepted with practical unanimity.
The deputies spentsome time at the
opening of the session in revising its
rules. Buchanan Winthrop was re-
elected treasurer of. the convention.
The church workers among the people
urged the need of appointment of more
colcred priests.
The house of bishops took up the pro-
posal for the erection of the diocese OF
Marquette, in Northern Michigan,
which was favorably voted on by the
deputies yesterday. 1t was explained
that an Episcopal endowment and a
resident bishop had been provided.
The bishops voted in favor of the divis-
ion, but appointed a committee o.
conference with the deputies to
straighten out some technical diff
6culties. A set of resolutions was
adopted deploring the Armenian
atrocities, commencing their ancient
church to all Christian people as de
serving of succor and contributions for
the relief of its sore necessities, and re-
spectfully asking the Church of Eng
land to take such action as would COM
mend the cause ofthe Armenian Church
to the English-speaking world.
The house then went into council on
the subject of Christian unity.
The deputies concurred in the Ar
menian resolution adopted by the
bishops, and adjourned for the day.
1t has developed that the house of
bishops yesterday morning voted for
Louisville as the next place of meeting.
The two houses are thus at odds, the
lower house having voted for Atlanta.
A conference will be necessary.
The resolution was modified so as to
ask for the report of the commission on
revision for next Monday, and was
adopted.
The amendment offered yesterday,
substitute for the amendment to the
constitution sent down from the house
of bishops on the revision of the consti-
tuition, was laid on the table.
An amendment providing for four in
stead of three delegates from all do
ceses in tie house of deputies as recon-
mended by the house of bisops, was
adopted.

oxs OF the NEST ridiculous incidents

ONE OF the NEST ridiculous incidents
recalled by Lord Sackville-W Vests IA
nous pamphlet, is the fact that though
the writer had his passports given to
him in consequence of urgent impor-
tunities from New York, to do "some
thing" to keep the Irish voters OF that
city from voting against the reelection
of Mr.. Cleveland, large portion Of
tn ose voters did vote against him, all the
same. But the fact that break in the
amicable relations with the country at
fording the best market for the surplus
products of the United States, if not
a war with the most powerful nations
of the earth, was risked by President,
who had previously expressed himself
S opposed to second term, in his de-
sire to be reelected, also emphasizes
the danger to which those who have
received benefits from him, would sub
iact the country in their desire to elect
such man for third term.

THE BAZAAR has no desire
to create the impression that
it has bought out the entire

that its representatives caught
the Gotham villagers asleep, or
that they. preceded the high
sheriff in tearing down the
mercantile monuments of pros
perity but we got there all the
SAME. We bought with judg-
ment and in consideration of
the season, and when it comes
to Ladies' Hosiery, Gloves,

SHAKESPEARE AND THE BIBLE.-ln
no respect is the varied universal play
of Shakspeare's genius, and his royal
dominion over all things more human
and divine, more fully shown than in
the use he makes Of the Bible. He
treats the Scriptures as if they belong
ed to him. Bishop Wordsworth, in
his "Shakspeare and the Bible," finds
in the poet more than $50 Biblical quo
tations, illusions, references, and SEN
timents. Hamlet" alone, contains
about so; "Richard Ill.," nearly so
"Henry v" and "Richard H." about
40 each. Shakespeare quotes about Sd
of the Biblical books, and not one OF
his 81 plays is without scriptural ref
erence. Genesis furnishes the poet
with 81 quotations or illusions, the
Psalms with 50, Proverbs with 35,
Isaiah with 81, Matthew with GO,
Luke with 33 and Romans %.

The prisoner sullenly replied that
there was not. At this instance
Blackburn sprang from his seat, and
advancing to the edge of the scafold

4 RESURRECTED CITY.

Pompeii is situated on the side OF
Vesuvius, about three miles distant
from the crater. 1t was originally a
well fortified city, having a strong
double wall and seven gates. At pres
ent it is two miles from the sea; but
some think that formerly the sea ex-
tended to the walls. But that is not
probable.
We entered the city by the Porte
Marina-the sea gate-which IL a
large arched passage, the vaulted root
still perfect. At the places where the
doors which shut the gate stood are
remains of the iron sockets in which
the doors swung, and also the holes
for the bolts and bars. Inside the gate
is the museum-one of the old build
ings restored. 1t contained old glass
pottery and metal work, besides the
casts of people who perished there.
The manner of obtaining them is as
follows: When indications of a body
were found, a small hole was bored in
the place, and liquid plaster poured in,
for the body was covered with fine
ashes, which made perfect model of
it, and when the body decayed the
ashes still kept the model, and by
filling in the plaster cast of the body
is obtained, which takes even the
minutest details. In that manner there
have been taken casts of men and wom-
en- and a dog. They all show the fea-
lures and the texture of the garment
in which they were dressed.
The most interesting cast is a group
of mother and little girl Is years of
age. They lie side by side. The moth
er seems to have died without strug-
gle, but the daughter must have had a
terrible one, as can be seen by the ex-
preston of the face, and by the clench-
ed hands. She has tried to cover her
face with her dress to keep off the
burning ashes. On her feet are traces
of slippers, and on one finger is an iron
ring, showing they belonged to the
poorer class, as also can be seen by the
coarse clothing which they wear.
The cast of the dog is perfect. He
was found chained to his house, and
even now has on bis bronze collar. He
is lying on his back, as though over
powered by the gases.
One of the casts is If soldier of
great size. He is on his back, with his
hands by his side.
His face has peaceful, expression,
and he evidently died ike brave
man.
By means Of casts they have OBJ
tanned impressions of doors, ivory beds,
chests, and even baskets. One of the
rooms contained articles Of food.
There are many loaves of bread, now
turned to charcoal almost, but the shape
is perfect. Eighty-two of these were
found in one oven. There are also
rice, figs, prunes, barley, and the like.
One jar contains several eggs, and
there is case of many pieces of cloth,
from the coarse sacking to the fine
black cloth-one piece with fringe on
the edge, as if it were shawl. All
this cloth is considerably burned, but
still is perfect enough to enable one to
see the threads. They also have many
skeletons of people and animals, found
before they adopted the casting pro-
cess

CIGARETTES.

Do you care to know how they are
made? 1 think 1 can enlighten you
An Italian boy only s. years old
was brought before justice in New
York city as vagrant, or, III other
words, a young tramp. But with
what did the officer charge him
Only with picking up cigar stumps
from the streets and cutters. To prove
this he showed the boys basket, hall
full of stumps, water-soaked and GOV,
cred with mud.
."What do you do with these ?" ask
ed his honor.
What do you think was his answer ?
~ sell them TO man for 10 cents q
pound, to be used in making cigar.
ettes."
Not particularly agreeable piece Of
information, is it boys?
In our large cities there are great
many cigar butt grubbers, as they are
called. 1t certainly is not pretty
name, though very appropriate for it
is applied to boys and girls who scour
the streets in search of half-burned
cigars and stumps, which are dried
and then sold to be used in making
cigarettes.
But this isn't all, nor even the worst
oft. These cigarettes have been anal,
yzed, and physicians and chemists were
surprised to find how much opium is
put into them. A tobacconist himself
says that "the extent to which drugs
are used in cigarettes is appalling
"Havana favoring" for this same
purpose is sold everywhere by the
thousand barrels. This flavoring is
made from the tonka bean, which con.
tains deadly poison. The wrappers,
warranted to be rice paper, are some.
times made of common white paper,
and sometimes of filthy scrapings Of
rag pickers bleached white with arsen-
ic. What cheat to be practiced on
people!
A bright boy of 13 came under the
spell of cigarettes. He grew stupid
and subject to nervous twitchings, till
finally he was obliged to give up his
studies. When asked why he didn't
throw away his miserable cigarettes the
poor boy replied with tears that he
had often tried to do so; but could
not.
Another boy of II was made crazy
by cigarette smoking, and taken to an
insane asylum in Orange county, N.
Y. He was regarded as violent and
dangerous maniac, exhibiting some OF
the symptoms peculiar to hydrophobia.
The white spots on the tongue and
inside the cheeks, called smokers
patches, are thought by Sir Morrell
McKensie to be more common with
users of cigarettes than with other
smokers.-Sundsy School Visitor.

MEN TEA DRINKERs.-In the inte-
rior of Australia all the men drink tea
They drink it all day long, and in
quantities and at a strength that
would seem to be poisonous.
On Sunday morning the tea maker
starts with clean pot and clean
record. The pot is hung over the fire
with a sufficiency Of water in it for the
days brew, and when this has boiled,
he pours into it enough of the fragrant
herb to produce deep coffee-colored
liquid.
On Monday, without removing yes
terday's leaves, he repeats the process.
On Tuesday he does ditto, and on
Wednesday again, and so on through
out the week.
By this time the "tea" is the color of
rusty iron, incredibly bitter and disa-
greeable to the uneducated palate.
Doctors tell of cases resulting from
this abuse which closely border, in
their manifestations, on the signs OF
delirium tremens.

THE BROKEN VOw.-A parishioner,
who was dear friend, read his pastor
page from life's history to this fact :
When a small boy he gave his heart to
Christ. He was engaged in brick
yard to carry clay, often on his head,
for 25 cents day. Then he vowed that
one-tenth of his income he would give
to God. This he conscientiously did,
and prosperity followed, until his in
come was $4,000; and then the trial
of his life came, in which he went down
in a financial disaster. Here his faith
baked. He said CATER disaster had
swept all away 1 learned what l had
not known before-that it is easier to
give one-tenth Of S72 than of 10000.
A man is truer to God when he works
for % cents day, and has less temp
tations and more strength to meet
them, whose income is Sc month
than if it is $S3333" He regained
wealth butt was in strict compliance
with the vow of his youth, which his
disaster enabled him to fulfill until his
death.
Here is an instance of negative
proof-viz: that "there is that with
holdeth more than is meet, and it tend
eth to poverty" The positive proof
would no doubt fill volumes were it
written out.-Rev. A. j. Gordon, in
Review of Missions.

HOME LIFE.

In every home we find new varieties
of inmates, also different degree OF
happiness, and surroundings different
from those in every other home. How
comprehensive and interesting, then,
is the subject of home life
In some homes we greet light-heart-
ed parents and children happy in their
love and wise training the clouds
seem to pass by these households,
leaving them the warmth and bril-
liancy of unbrokensunshine. In other
homes we find discord, unrest, and
consequent unhappiness; no member
of the household is satisfied; all are
restless, some are ill-tempered. The
sun seems never to shine into these
darkened places.
Then there are the homes where
life is marked by fluctuations, differing
as clouds, and shower, and sunshine
alternate. Some of the inmates are
merry for time, while others, morbid
or respondent, clash and alternate in
their moods until the chaotic condi-
tions produced are affecting to rea-
lize.
The masses of humanity drift, and
are buffeted by the waves of chance,
finding their home wherevera combina-
ton of circumstances lands them, ir-
respective of their choice in the matter.
No thought or attention is given to
the important points which make or
mar health and happiness. Instead of
graphing with circumstances and
making them subservient these drift
ing people permit circumstances to con-
troll them and their fortunes.
In their home life they sometimes
wear shackles which often cut to the
bone, and sooner or later wear out
their victims.

HE FORGOT THE WORD.

A hotel clerk told this story Three
men from the country came into the
hotel and registered for lodging, and a
few minutes later two of them went
out to see the town. 81 will stay
here" said the third, "and look at
the things" and he took seat near
the door. At 10 o'clock, a half hour
later, the man who was left, went up
to the clerk.
"I want to remain" said he.
Gall right, sir" answered the clerk.
The man stopped and looked at the
clerk, and finally went back to his
chair near the door. He sat still an
other hour, and returned to the desk.
"If you please, I'll remain" said he.
"That's all right, sir" was the re-
sponse. ave hope you'll be with us
some time"
The man hesitated and went back to
his chair. 1t was away after midnight
when he went up to the clerk for the
third time.
~ think I'll remain, sir" he said.
"We have no objections" answered
the man behind the desk. The guest
did not 60 back to his chair, however,
but stood still.
Shortly afterward another guest
came UP and asked the clerk for his
key, "and III retire"
tRetire Retire! That's the word
I've been trying to think of for three
hours. For Heavens sake let me re-
tire" interrupted the man who had so
desired to remain, and he was at last
happy.

A LITTLE HERD OF IRISH Bulls
An Irish provincial paper inserted the
following notice "Whereas, Patrick
O'Connor lately left his lodgings, this
is to give notice that if he does not re-
turn Immediately and pay for the
same, he will be advertised" A coun-
tryman of the author Of the above,
not to be outdone in the same line,
announced in an Irish journal that
among other portraits, he had repre-

But one of the latest Irish bulls is the
following from an editorial in one OF
the leading papers of the Nationalist
