their departure for their new home In
Arkansas. After an elegant lunch had

the following resolutions which Were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Our esteemed brother, J. c.
Williams, and patient and devoted wife
and graceful and accomplished daugh-

while the ship is dredging, and after
fifteen or twenty minutes the trawl il
hauled up, its contents are deposited
on the main deck and we all strive to
get what interests us most out of the
half bushel or more kelp, algaa spon-
ges, stars, fish, etc. =, resulting from the
haul. After several casts at the first
locality in about eighteen fathoms OF
water the steamer proceeded to a posi-
ton nearer Plum Gut, where the
deepest hole in Long leland Sound is
situated. Here the depth of at least
tifty-five fathOms has been found, but
the discovery is so recent that the
place is not indicated on even the lat
est charts. A pract ical illustration of
the high pressure prevailing at great
depths was given at the pollock and
all other fish brought up at this sta
ton, for when emptied on to the deck
the bellies of these fish and the men,
branes over their eyes were greatly
distended on account of the reduced
pressure at the surface. The tropical
seaweeds known as gorgonlas have
been found in the warm waters of
these holes.
While most Of us were busy over
the material brought up in the trawl
and dredge, the microscopists of the
party were dragging tow-nets of very
fine mesh along the surface of the
water for minute swimming organ
isms. Another fruitful field for these
gentlemen was the water squeezed out
in cleaning the sponges. One of the
over the microscope, a well
known physician of this city, remark
ed that he had obtained enough ma
terial on the trip to keep him busy for
three months. He carried 1t home in
his vest pOcket.--Louisville CONNER

an he lip the Evangelistic meeting, to
be held here in May, by praying for
Gods blessing upon it. Let this
be one of the subjects for prayer at
each and every prayer meeting from
now until then.
Among the prominent speakers eX-
pected at the next International Con-
vention, are Rev, F. B. Wyer, of Lon

4 new feature of the convention of
the United Society is that there will
be no great mass meeting on Sunday |
and the convention will close on
Wednesday There will be no excuse
for Sunday travelling, which would
otherwise be necessary, as many ofthe
delegates will come every day from
the suburbs of Boston.
Do you wish that the meetings
could be made more interesting?
Then do your part faithfully. Give
much thought to each subject before
the meeting. Go to the meeting from
your closet. See to it that that there
is one person who is always ready to
fill in, all the pauses. If you will do
this there will never be a poor meet
ing.

A MAN OF CAUTION.
He Refused to Sign His Name Except In
Lead Pencil.

He Refused to Sign His Name Except In
Lead Pencil.
1t is an unwritten but rigidly enforced
law that no man be allowed to write his
name on a hotel register with a lead pen
Gil. Those who patronize the hotels are
we'll acquainted with the rule and always
observe it, but there are some whose ia
miliarity with hotel life Is not in an ad-
vanced stage, and they are the ones who
cause trouble to the clerks by invariably
producing their ever ready pencil when
they essay to write their name upon the
annals of hotelology. A Cincinnati tray
cling man amused a select coterie of fellow
travellers with a narrative in which a pen
Gil and an unsophisticated would be guest
at a Louisville hotel played a prominent
part. The man with the pencil struck the
office Of the'hotel during q rush, and he
had written his name on the register be-
fore the clerk noticed the implement he
used. The clerk was very polite about it,
but he erased the pencil signature and
handed the prospective guest a pen freshly
dipped in ink.
81 wrote my name once, - said the guest.
'If that don't suit you, write it yourself. :"
The clerk explained that it was necessary
to preserve the register, and for that reason
they wished signatures in ink. The ex-
PLANTATION didn't suit the guest. He seemed
to think the clerk had designs upon him,
and he positively refused to write again on
the register.
"I'm from the country" he said, "but
I'm not as green as I look. I've had some
experience in signin things. Signed a
contract last fall to pay 50 for some fruit
trees, and three months later 1 had to pay
a note for 5000 that tho Teller had switched
my name on to. You don't get me to
sign nothin more 'ceptin I do it with a
pencil, and then I write very light"
The fellow carried his point, too, and
the clerk was forced to write his name for
him.-Na shville American.

LOWELL'S MARRIAGE.
His Wife First Got Him Interested In the
Slavery Question.

His Wife First Got Him Interested In the
Slavery Question.
After Lowell's graduation he thought Of
entering the Divinity school, but he decid-
ed at last to study law. Although he was
on the very verge of giving it up 20 times,
he persevered and received his degree of
bachelor of laws in 1910. He opened an
Office in Boston, but it Is doubtful whether
he ever had even that ''frst CLIENT whom
u sketch. Not liking the law as q means
Of livelihood, he finally abandoned it, as
Holmes had done only q few years earlier.
Lowell had become engaged to Miss
Maria White, who greatly influenced his
life. In 1871 came the publication Of a
volume Of poems, some Of which had been
printed already in the magazines, while
others were hasty and crude rhymes which
he kept out of later editions of his poems
just as Whittier rejected his own early
verses. Lowell was barely 90 when his
book appeared, but there was more than
one poem in 1t which gave high promise Of
his future. In addition to his ability, he
had a deep love for letters, and this it was
which led him, a year later, to start a

soon came to an end, leaving its proprie,
tors in debt.
Until he met Miss White, Lowell's inter.
ests and his ambitions were almost wholly
literary. Under her influence he came to
have a strong sympathy for the slaves. He

causes to be fought far better worth the
struggle than any mere craving for per
sonal fame. His love for letters never less.
ened, but it was linked thereafter to the
love for human freedom He was married
at last in 1874, in which year he brough,
out a revised edition Of his poems. A few
months later he gathered from the maya
zines certain prose criticisms, chiefly about
the older English poets-criticisms which
he thought so lightly of in later years thai
he did not allow them to be included il
his collected works. And about this time
he was a frequent contributor to the Phil
adelphia Freeman, the antislavery journa
formerly edited by Whittier. flame!

The Donlxeys of Bonifacio.

One of the features of Bonifacio, in Cor

1t may interest the reader to know that
a donkey can be purchased here for II
francs, a mule for 100 francs and a good
pony for 200 francs.
1t is said of some dogs, also of many
persons, that ''their bark is worse than
their bite" OF the Bonifacian donkey it
may be remarked with perfect veracity
that his bray is worse than all his other
faults combined. I have a painful expert
ence of this on the evening of my arrival.
Feeling a little fatigued, I retired to rest
