Preachers in the Market.

Three New York preachers have been
known to take flyers in the security, grain
and cotton markets from time to time,
says the New York Press. Others have
been suspected. In the street are several
ex-preachers, some members of the stock
exchange, some of the consolidated. One
of the latter is the inventor of the ma
chine that receives your money in a slot
and renders profits by mere physical ex-
cate intended to buy this bit-of mechanism
for $10O.OO0,OOO and wipe out Wall street,
Throgmorton street and the various
bourses of the continent.
Henry Ward Beecher was not above
taking chance now and then in Wall
street. He made good deal of money
out of his books, and invested it all in
the market / don't know whose tip he
took, but it is a shrewd guess that "Dea-
con" White had something to do with it.
George 1. Seney may have put the old
man on" At any rate, every cent was
lost. and Beecher quit the game.
l heard Beecher tell the story on him
self. The money earned by his books
Eyes and Ears" Norwood" "a Sum
mer PARISH and Earlier Scenes
amounted to about $4,000 net. Being a
trihe hard up at the time he ATTEMPTED
to increase his fortunes by a sudden
stroke, instead of investing it at per
cent. Some went into gold mines, the rest
in margins. IF a man has good BUSH
ness and invests in stocks" he said. ''or
is tempted to put his money in a gold
mine, he is greedy. 1 know It'll have

A coaIing station at Tybee.

In selecting a port for coalng and
supply station, there are several points
TO be considered The most important
of these are, accessibility and protection.
The latter should embrace the safety OF
ships from the dangers of the sea, as
well as protection for ships and stores
against the guns of a possible enemy.
on these two points the port of Savan-
nah stands pre-eminent. 1t is, of all ports
on the Atlantic coast, the most access
sible, and Tybee roads will soon be under
the guns of fortiications as formidable
as may be found in the country This
may be considered a rather strong state
ment, but it is nevertheless true. There is
a deep and straight channel from the sea
into Tybee roads, and a fine anchorage
there. A coallng station on the island
would be protected not only by the new,
modern, high-power guns of the new fort,
but by the guns of Fort Pulaski as well.
AS to means of communication, there Is
no place where a coaing station could be
built that is more conveniently provided
with connections north, south, east ana
west. Savannah is in direct communica>
ton by rail with the coal and iron fields,
and with all of the commercial and manu-
featuring centers. and there is a we'll
built, standard railroad from the city to
Tybee Island, passing almost within
stones throw of where a coaling station
would be built; and the island has tele-
graph and telephone connections with the
city. Coal trains from Alabama or Ten
nessee could be run to the waters edge.
While Tybee has so many advantages to
recommend it as a site for government
| coaling station, nobody need expect that
a station will be established there unless
local work is done in the interest of the
proposition. If Savannah wishes the sta
ton, she must work for it, With every
town and city in the country striving to
secure everything possible in the way of
government establishments. merit does not
win in every instance Merit needs to be
backed up by smart hustlng.
The official and commercial bodies of Sa-
vannah should take action looking TO
drawing the attention of the authorities
at Washington to Tybee as the place for
coaling station. The City Council, the
Board of Trade and the Cotton Exchange
should memorabilia Congress with regard
TO the matter, and business men generally
should write personal letters to their
friends who have influence at Washington.
urging the establishment of the station.
Now is the time to strike. Naval and
maritime matters are receiving especial
attention at present

A Letter reed received.

Speaker Reed, who likes to share his
good jokes with his friends, received a
peculiar letter the other day, says the
Washington Post. After the morning bus
mess had been disposed of and the gavel

er trudged up the Democratic aisle to
where Leader Bailey was seated. He drew
out folded sheet of foolscap and placed
1t in front of the Texas Democrat. AS MIR.
Bailey read he laughed more and more
heartily, and the speaker gayly poked him
in the ribs. Then Mr.. Reed trudged back
down the Democratic aisle and displayed
the communication to Representative Page
Morris of Minnesota, who enjoyed the
joke as heartily as did Mr.. Bailey Repre-
sentative Wadsworth of New York next

other two shook his sides with laughter.

The Church Spires and the Mince
pie

A church spire that reared its lofty head
into clearer ether once spied poor little
stale mince pie that a careless baker $
boy had dropped from the wagon, writes
Fl. W. Philips inr the Criterion.
"Oh! miserable conglomeration of odds
and ends!" said the Spire. How dare you
bring your loathsome waste-basket of a
self into my heaven directing presence
Pardon, majesty" humbly replied the
pie. 81 came here MOI by action of my

"There is one more thing-do not des-
pise me too utterly. I contain between
my crusts the Religion of the Masses"
And what may that be-" inquired the
Spire, in naughty doubt
"a mystery" returned the Pie.
Just then the first outrageous blim-
jangle from the Spire, announcing even
ing service, awoke all the poor sick wo-
men and children ip the neighborhood,
while starving beggar-boy clutched the
pic in tiger grasp, devouring it to the last
unwholesome morsel.

An act changing the form of the legal
oath has been passed by the Maryland
Legislature and signed by the Governor.
The change made from the present prac-
tice is the doing away with the kissing of
the Bible or even placing the hand upon
it. The Bible IS still to be used by the
proper official in administering an oath.
but the person sworn is required only to
raise the right hand in acknowledgements
of a solemn promise to tell the truth and
the whole truth. The new law makes a
change also in the wording of the oath,
which win henceforth begin, I'm the pres
ence of Almighty Cod" The concluding
words. 80 help me God" are stricken
out. The change was influenced in no
small degree by the argument that the
bindings of Bibles used in courts are
generally very filthy and that it is preju-
dicial to health to kiss them.
