The incident of Engiand's summary
seizure of Trinidad recalls the fact that
about ISL an English vessel went ashore
on the Brazilian coast and an indemnity
of about $1,000 was demanded by Great
Britain. II was claimed that at the ioca-
ton of the disaster there was no light
house, when there should have been one.
The emperor could not see that the fall
ure of his government to provide light
house at dangerous point made ii liable
for the loss of the vessel. But the En-
glish sent a feet before Rio. demanded
the payment of the indemnity by threat
that 1t would lombard the city If re-
fusal were persisted In. There was i'm
mense excitement and indignation, but the
money was paid. though few years after
the English sent an apology for the act
and returned the amount of the indem-
nifty. acknowledging themselves clearly in
the wrong.

A Reader. East Sound-Any kind of pa

lication. according to the inclination or
caprice of the writer. Many writers, fol-
lowing the iilustrious example OF Aiexan-
der Pope. who wrote on bits of discarded
paper some of the most stirring passages
OF the Iliad. seem TO delight in saving up
scraps to work of as manuscript. In
these days of typeSetting machines. how
ever typewritten copy is desirable. as the
operator might otherwise be greatly de-
layeG BY badly written words. In copy

enough for all purposes: Write legihly
and on only one side of the paper.

form small tubers the first year, and
these small tubers, IL planted the next
year. will result in large ones. But you
cannot raise large potatoes from seed the
first year. and If you save seed and plant

the plant will be. People no more think
of growing potatoes from seed than they
would OF growing lilies or hyacinths in
that way. Even in the tropics, where the
potato grows wild, two years are required
to form edible tubers by a plant start

street to take charge on March 2ith.
He Is said 10 be a young man, and
comes TO New York with a record of
success in the South. His first acquaint-
ance with members of the congreg ation
was made in rather peculiar way. He
was visiting i'm the city last September,
and chanced to attend a prayer-meetng
at the church and made a few remarks
at tho meeting. Some members thought
he was a minister, and on inquiry that
fact was learned to be so. He preached
on the following Sunday for them. and
his style and eloquence was much ad-
mred.
About this time the church was think
ing of another minister, but through some
fault In the delivery of his mail, he failed
TO receive the notification Of his call.
The members then set about 10 secure
Mr.. Blackburn. He made another visit to
the city and preached for them. On jan
uary 1st last final arrangements were
completed, and he agreed to accept the
charge. lie esked, however, that they al
low him TO remain in Charleston until
April lst. Later he found Il possible to as
sumo charge two weeks earlier.
There has been no regular pastor OF
this church since wear beforc tn. S1eath
