A BsAur1FuLs pEcrAo1E.-A dispatch

A BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE.-Ad dispatch
from Tacoma, WASH, says A beautiful
spec :acle, never witnessed before Tues
day night, was the signal lights in the
club of mountain climbers known az
the Mazamas, from the snow capped
summit OF Mount Tacoma, sixty miles
away. The night was clear and favor
able, and for an hour before the flash
appeared thousands of eyes and hund-
reds of field glasses were trained on the
mountain, searching for the signal. At
length large red light, apparently like
a ball of fire, over foot in diameter,
appeared, burning steadily for nearly
Eve minutes. 1t was distinctly visible
10 the naked eve.

AT A Congress of the negro preachers
of Alabama, in negro church at
Montgomery, yesterday, during the
trial of one of their colleagues for i'm
proper conduct with a female member
of his flock, there was fight in front
of the altar, in which another one was
shot and killed. The negroes religion,
like that OF the old abolitionists, has
nothing to do with the decalogue.

Jowett's fence of Humor,

The late master Of BalliOl College,
Oxford, Doctor Jowett, loved good
story, especially one which exhibited
the comic side Of things. During a
sickness from which he suffered many
ills, he was asked by friend how he
was.
Jowett replied by quoting the words
of Sydney Smith, then canon Of st.
Paul's, who. when at the point of
death-"which." said Jowett, II am
not''--declared that there was not as
much left OF him as would make a
minor canon!
To another friend, who urged him to
permit the publication of some Of by
sermons, Doctor Jowett said:
publish nothing that is not quite
good. Don't be moved by peoples
opinion. There Is a story Of Bishop
harrington and Philpotts, afterward
Bishop of Exeter, who was at the time
Barrington's secretary. The bishop
said, I wish you to select for publica'
tiOn twelve Of my sermons that you
think will do me least discredit.' Short.
" after, when the sermons had been
chosen, the bishop asked. DO you think
that these will do me creditY I prefer
my lord answered PhNpotts, to id
here to your lordship's former expires
sion.' The sermons were not pub
liShed."

hEHO AND MAN,



Take an Unfair Advantage.
The worlds Of "Reminiscences and his
tory agree that there was something
about the Duke Of Wellington which
rendered empty pretence quite impos-
sible In his company. He was abso-
lutely genuine, q man without vanity
or desire Of display. He was invaria.
bly, courteous to women, but that did
not prevent him from staving of such
as were bOres. One of them gushingly
asked him to give her an account Of the
Battle Of Waterloo.
''Oh," said he, Its very easily done.
We pummelled them, they pummelled
us. and suppose We pummelled the
hardest; SO We gained the day"
Yet he was a great stickler for
punctiliO in what seemed to him the
proper places. When the regiment Of
his son, Lord DOurO. was Quartered at
Dover, the Duke was staying at Wal.
mer Castle, and the officers rode over
and left their cards, us a matter of
form. Soon after came an invitation
from the Duke Of Wellington inviting
all the officers to dine, but ignoring
his own son. When Lord Douro asked
for an explanation the Duke gave it
thus. with great good-humor:
Il make no distinctions in the service.
Those gentlemen had paid me the COM
pliment Of visit. and invited them
to dinner. You Were not among them.
80 l omitted you in the invitation"
Thus he could always hold his own
with an imperturbability which might
we'll have served him ON the field Of
battle. At a dinner one day he was
talking with the dogmatic John Wilson
Croker, who contradicted him fatty
about something which had occurred
1t Waterloo. The Duke, knowing his
man. submitted quietly: but not long
afterward Croker again became often.

"My dear Croker" said the Duke,
with unrufiled good humor, Il can yield
to your superior information on mos,
points, and you may perhaps know a
great deal more Of what passed at
Waterloo than myself; but as a sports.
man, l will maintain my point abou,
the percussiOn-caps"'
But of all stories about him, there Is
one which best proves his almost Quix
otic honesty. At one time he bough,
u farm lying near his estate, and there
fore very valuable to him. When the
purchase was concluded. his steward
congratulated him on having got suct

owner was in difficulties. and had bee1
forced to part with the land.
"What do you mean by a bargain ?
