John Wesley Suffered for Refusing
Communion to n Woman.
Rev. w. j. Scott, D. D., writes of
"When John Wesley Preached in Geor-
gia," in Ladies' Home Journal, and
from the famous preachers journal
tells the story of his persecution in
Georgia. which ultimately resulted in
his quitting America and returning to
England in 1877. During the after
noon before Wesley's departure he was
approached by the recorder of Savan-
nah, who informed him that he must
not leave the province until he had
given bond in so sterling, and in ad-
Williamson's charge. Wesley respond
ed: I have given him every oppor-
tunity to make good his accusation. but
he refused to do so; and now, sir he
continued, with emphasis and tirmness
L must insist that, as an official, you
have treated me and the trustees of the
colony very i'll. l shall neither give
bond nor bail. You know your bust
ness and 1 know mine
1.-The same afternoon he adds, Il
shook the dust off my feet and left Sa-
vannah, after preaching there one year
and nine months, not as ought, but as
/ was able
1.-The show made by his enemies of q
purpose to intercept him was shall

Wesley's persecution was the out
come of his refusal to admit a woman
of his congregation to holy communion

A MALADY somewhat after the style
Of the KlOndJke fever appears to be
gradually spreading among prospective
prospectors in this section of the coup-
try, 'the Yaqui country" being the
exciting cause. The Yaqui country
proper-that is, the country of the
Yaqui Indians is a very rich one, but
it will yield far better returns to the
man with the hoe than to the one with
the pick, shovel and sluice box. The
Yaqui valley will mature three heavy
crops per annum of corn, beans, chile

GOOD WORDS FOR WASHING TON
Improvement In Moral Tone of the
Nations Capital.

Improvement In Moral Tone of the
Nations Capital.
Gen. II. V. Boynton, the veteran Wash
ington correspondent, has been for
more than 80 years collecting news and
writing letters. Few men know so
thoroughly as he the inside history OF
the capitol, the white house, and the
departments. Being asked what he
considered the most important deduc-
ton from his experience at Washington,
he answered.:
THE marvellous improvement in the
moral atmosphere, and the general tone
and honesty of the government. We,
the people of the United States, have
the most honest government in the
world 1t is and has been for many
years more honest than ever before,
and is to-day more honestly and etfi-
GENTLY administered than any private
business that have ever examined. l
mean that there is less waste and less
defalcation.
Look at the great postal service, for
instance. Where in the world will you
find any private agency which does so
much and does it so well, and at SO little
cost? And change of parties makes no
difference. Thorough honesty is the
rule.
''The atmosphere of the white house
is pure beyond that of any royal resi-
dence, and this is the most moral and
peaceable city in the United States, If
not in the world. 1t makes me laugh
when those good people come from New
York and Cincinnati and away out west
to help reform Washington"

DANGEROUS CATERPILLARS.
Armed with n Very Effective Weapon
for Defense.


The caterpillar of the puss moth,
quite common insect in this country.
has a most effective way of defending
himself, and may prove, as we shall
presently see, dangerous even to hui
man beings, says writer in Cham
bers' Journal. This well-protected cat
erpillar is provided between its head
and forelegs with cleft, from which
it can protrude an organ capable of
squirting out quantity of very acid
fluid to a considerable distance, and
when alarmed it habitually makes use
of this formidable weapon.
In one of the chronological maya
zines correspondent states that he
was observing some of these caterpil-
lars in captivity, when he happened
to disturb one, and it suddenly squirt
ed out quantity of fluid in a jet, which
struck one of his eyeballs, though his
head at the time was quite two feet
away from the insect. He rushed off
in great agony to a doctor, who told
him that the eyeball was in a very dan
gerous condition. His eye was totally
blind for hours after the occurrence.
and it was some days before he finally
recovered. What the effect of this fluid
must be upon smaller creatures we
leave our readers to imagine!
