And trace the channels shape.
We sail or blde as serves the tide;

Exciting Cock Fight.

Litchfield was the scene of an excit- ing cock fight Saturday night. The place of the fight was in the cellar of a building not supposed to be devoted to such contests. Four cocks were en- gagged and there were about fifteen spectators including several of our we'll known and usually lsw-abiding citi- zsns. The fight was exciting and quite little money is said to have changed hands. More sport was furnished on the side than in the ring. One rooster started to crow and a well known lawyer cried out in alarm, "For Gods sake wiring that d. rooster's neck" while others started for the door. Quiet was finally restored but after the round the victorious rooster started to crow again and all the others followed suit. How ever' the party was not molested, but i4 is saft to say that less central place will be chosen next time-Litchfield Enquirer, April 8

Leads a Charmed Life.

William Jennings Bryan last night stood on another platform which went down and buried him in the debris But his St. Augustine experience only tends to confirm the belief that the Sil- yer Knight of the West leads a charmed life. As on every former like occasion. Mir Bryan was safely extricated from the ruins. and, barring few scratches, is as good as new. Our advice to the brilliant Knight, however. is no. to take the pitcher to the well too often, Plat forms are dangerous things. A little more care in the making of certain platform at Chicago might have result ed in placing Mir Bryan in the presi- dency. Every platform should have proper underpinning-Syraeuse News, April 9.

4 Famous old BuRle.

A rare old curiosity is temporarily in the possession of the Kentucky Histor- ical society at Frankfort. It Is a bugle made of two slabs of cedar about three sixteenths of an inch in thickness and bent into funnel shaped horn. The bell, or mouth, is 18h inches in cir conference. It is hoped with COW horn rings and iron bands. The bugle is the property of Mrs. Anna Mayhall, grand daughter of the late Captain Robert Collins, who was a soldier in the war of 1612-15. It was used in the campaign of Colonel Richard M. Johnson and was at the death of Tecumseh. Captain Col hns was bugler for the regiment, and this is the instrument he used during the war and which ordered the famous charge of Colonel Johnson.

Easter in the Churc hes.

The golden sunshine of Easter Sum- day made the day an especially appro- priate one for the celebration of this greatest of all Christian festivals. This sentiment seemed to be felt by all and the result was that there were large congregations in all the churches To all the churches too especial pains had been taken with the floral decorations and in point of artistic effect and taste in arrangement they never were finer. The joyous character of the occasion al- so found expression in the elaborate programs of Easter music and the sn- thems, hymns and carols, with organ music, showed that the choirs had not failed to prepare for the day by careful practice and rehearsal. According to the time honored custom the ladies ob- served the day also by blossoming out in resplendent Easter bonnets and new gowns.
 At the M. E. church Rev B. Seeholzer preached from the text in John XII, 19, "Perceive ye how ye prevail nothiug9 behold the world is gone after him. " The sermon was an able and we'll req soned argument in defense of the Christian religion against unbelievers. Next Sunday the same subject will be continued only the treatment will be aggressive in character instead of defen- sive. Besides appropriate h. mns the choir sang two Easter anthems. "As in Adam all die." and "The Lord IS risen," Mrs Dr Lee presiding at the organ and Eddie w. Adams accompanying on the cornet.
 At the Pilgrim church Mir Weeks, a theological student at the Hartford seminary. preached good sermon on the text Colossians III, l, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God" Besides hymns the choir sang the anthem "King of Kings"
 At Christ church the services consist ed of Morning Prayer and celebration of the Holy communion Rev Mir Bar nett preached an admirable Easter ser mon, dwelling also on the subject of the general resurrection The musical pro. gram published iii last weeks issue oi the NEWS was rendered with fine effect In the evening the children sang theil carols and were addressed by the recto, in his usual happy style.
 At St. Joseph's church Rev Fr. Sulli van officisted ard preached an eloquent Easter sermon in which he impressed on his hearers the lessons to be drawr from the great truth of the resurrection of Christ.

A Chinese Superstition.

The strange unwillingness of the Chi nese to afford help to a drowning man, or any one in absolute peril of his life otherwise, is based upon belief that the ghost of the last man killed always acts as "watchman" of the hades or purgatory into which, according to Chi- nese belief, the spirit of the departed first enters, and from which he can only be relieved by the arrival of fresh ghost. If, therefore, mans life be saved from accidental death, the spirit of the person who died immediately be- fore him is, in a manner, cheated out of his relief, and will assuredly haunt the person whose misplaced humanity has condemned it to fresh term of dismal servitude. This belief also obtains among the highlanders of Scotland - Exchange.
