STOCKHOLM EXPOSITION.

position.

The Swedish-American singers, who
are visiting Sweden in general and the
exposition in particular, have already
paid their respects to the king. About
1870 p. No., June 80, they marched
Through the north portico of the castle
atBorggarden, meanwhile singing "Sta
stark du ljusets riddarvakt." Having
also sung 'Hor oss Svea" and 'Vart
land,'' they were met by the king in
person, who conversed with the sing
ers and expressed his thanks to them
for the attention paid to him. Prof.
Ortengren, the musical director, now
cheered the king, and this was followed
by three powerful hurrahs and another
song. All the singers were then in
vited to take a lunch in the castle, and
the king returned and proposed toast
to them. He was greatly pleased, he
said, to see the singers from the far
west visit the places where their an
cestors had lived and died. He also
emphasized the fact that old Sweden
mourns the loss of so many of her sons;
but now that they once for all had
settled in foreign country, he fol-
lowed them ever with his thoughts,
and gave them his blessing as long as
they love and respect their native land
and comport themselves as sons worthy
of such mother

Robinson. school teacher, frail but filled
with grit. came nearly perishing during the
recent storm. She has a school south OF
this city, mostly composed Of small chill
dren. Over mile and half from where
she teaches is her boarding place, and
some Of the pupils live as far as two miles
from the little country school house.
The school was in session when the last
terrible snow storm came up. Frightened
for fear the little ones would perish in the
storm as they went home, she dismissed
school, and, taking one at time, started
for their homes with them. 1t has since
been estimated that in taking the children
home she travelled not less than IA miles
through the binding snow storm, and when
she reached her own home her feet ard
hands and face were badly frozen.
The board of directors of the school
have given her a vacation with full pay.
and the admiring farmers have presented
her with a fine horse and buggy. so that
in future she will not have to walk from
home to her school house.
That isn't half enough for such a
heroine. Some bright, energetic, clean
hearted young man ought to present
her with husband; and raise up gall
liant and great men for the next nation

SHOCKING sENsATIONALIsM.

Wabash Ind, Nov. 29-Rev. T. c. Neal
Of the Methodist Church at Marion, who
occupied the pulpit Of the First Methodist
Church here last night, created a sensation
in the congregation In the midst of his SER
mon by suddenly whipping out a huge
cheese knife from under the desk and draw
ing it across his throat
The Mortified worshpers shuddered, and
many expected to see him fall lifeless, but
the clergyman had no intention of COM
hitting suicide. He went on with his dis
course using the knife as stated at several
points in his address.
Rev. Mr.. Neal preached from the text
from Proverbs, Put a knife to thy throat if
thou be given to appetite" and used
the cheese knife by way Of illustration.
Some of the women in the congregation are
not through quaking yet.-Chicago Times
Herald.

eye offend thee, pluck it out"
We would suggest to the Rev. Neal
that he could create tremendous sen
sation by literally obeying this injunc-
ton.
The churches have, as a rule, deserted

other INDUCES in poetical rhapsodies

Why don't they create sensation by
taking up the cause of Gods poor
against their oppressors, and repeating
some of Christ's phrases when he said
of the rich of his day: "You have made
the house Of the Lord a den OF
THIEVES2"
If they can't do that they had better
cut their threats in earnest, and not
make disappointing exhibition of the
superfuous cheese-knife. l. D.
