Ancient Warfare.

Sir John Fastolf had by his will de-
vised his castle, called Caster, to John
PASTOR. AS a fertilization, 1t was an
excellent defense against foreign in
vaders, and as a residence it was
worthy of royalty itself, says the
Sewanee Review. In fact, the duke
Of Gloster, afterward Richard ILL.,, at
one time contemplated making it his
abode. While Pastor was trying to
establish his title in the courts the
duke of Norfolk purchased pretended
claim to it and sought to gain posses
sion by force. The PASSIONS did not
propose to yield, though the duke was
then probably the most powerful noble
in England, and John Pastor was his
liveried servant. Four professional
soldiers were sent up from London
to aid in the defense. They are de-
scribed as "provyd men, cunning in
WEIR and can wei schote both gonnes
and crossbowes and devyse bolwerkys
and keep wacche and warde. They be
saddle and wei ADVISED, saving on of
them, whyche is ballyd (bald) but yit
he is no brawler. Ye shall fiyd them
gentylmanly comfortable fellowes, and
that they dare abyde by the taklyng."
Young John PASTOR, aided by these
four and by a handful of personal
friends and followers, held the castle
for several weeks against a siege con-
Quoted by the dukes army of 5000
men. BY the terms of the final sur
render the besieged were allowed their

to go where they pleased. They re-
ported that they were forced to sur

GOODNESS IN THE PULPIT.
Probably Saved Congregation from
Panic and Disaster.

anu DisasteTs
Already vastly popular with his con-
gregation, Rev. Arthur Wildwood of
Brooklyn, raised himself still higher
in general estimation on a recent
Sunday, when his GOODNESS in the pres
ence of danger probably averted a
wild stampede from the Church Of the
Incarnation. Although there were in
dications of impending disaster, the
people, acting upon his advice, filed
out of the church in an orderly man
ner to find fire engine pouring water
into the cellar through a front win
dow. Shortly after IL o'clock smoke
began to pour up through the regis
tiers. The assistant pastor, Rev. Ar
thur Wildwood, went down to the cell
lar to see If the furnace was smoking.
He was alarmed to find the cellar full
of smoke, so dense that he could not
go inside. He ran out and turned in
an alarm. Then he walked rapidly up
the aisle, and after whispering to the
officiating clergyman, said aloud 1.-The
furnace seems to be smoking worse
than usual. l think the congregation
had better retire to allow us to open
the windows" The people. assured by
his calmness. retired in good order. but
became somewhat alarmed when they
saw the engines and firemen in the

FEW SHUT DOORS.
Why the People in Canada Leave
Them Open.

why tho coPAO l" Sahou6 AS"'S
Them Open.
Canadians are known in Britain as
the people who never shut doors, says
the Montreal Witness. Where rooms
are heated, as they are there, by crate
fires, the opening of door sets up an
immediate draught, and if the person
who opens it does not close it again he
quickly realizes his mistake, if not in
his own sensations, then in the re-
proachful glances Of others. The first
lesson in manners taught to children
is to shut the door, and that quietly.
The door handle, the child is taught,
is not only for the purpose of open
ing door, but of shutting it. The
reason why Canadians do not learn to
shut doors is that their doors, for the
most part, stand open. The houses
are heated with a general heat. and
before the days of furnaces, unless the
doors of the room stood open, the
rooms would, for the most part. get
cold. Thus has grown the habit Of
leaving doors open. When Canadian
comes to shut a door, he is prone to
think that something very private is
going on within which he must not
disturb, and his first impulse is to re-
tire from it. Where We in Canada
have a door which we want kept shut
we put a spring on it, and so where
there are many offices there is usually
a general and constant slamming of
doors. To one not accustomed to the
EARRING thus occasioned the result is
torture. In time kindly nature steps
in and mitigates the evil by making
the auditory nerve less and less sus-
ceptible to an accustomed sound. Ask
a person who lives in cathedral
close or under the shadow of one of
our great churches, whether the bells
do not disturb him; his reply is: BELLS?

Is not due, however, to the unimport-
ance OF the corps. At present every

lively employed either on a man-of-war
or at an important shore station. Sec

chaplain is very highly appreciated

ticeably good. There are but twenty
| four chaplains in the entire service and
acquaintance with the personnel of the
| corps leads one to believe that the
standard of fitness has been kept high
by the appointing power. The regu-
lations require that an applicant as
chaplain be between the ages of Fl and
70 years and minister in good stand
ing in his denomination. In addition
to these qualifications practice re-
quires the hearty and unequivocal in
dorsement of high ecclesiastical au-
thorities, who are willing to assume
good degree of moral responsibility for
the appointment. Political influence of
high order may be used to bring the
applicant to the attention of the presi-
dent and secretary of the navy, but can
avail very little beyond this. The
chaplain, once appointed, ranks as
commissioned officer of the staff, mess
es in the wardroom when on shipboard
and is entitled to private stateroom
In the wardroom quarters.
He wears no uniform and in this is
the sole exception to the rule which
obtains all the ships of our navy and
applies to all officers and enlisted men,
from the admiral of the fleet to the
humblest mess attendant. Nothing in
vidious is involved in this discrimina-
tion and it is to be presumed that If
a majority Of the chapl inns were to
ask for uniform it would be grant
ed. The chaplains as a rule dress in
ordinary clerical suits, the coats close
buttoned and in blouse or frock, ac-
cording to circumstances. In conduct
ing divine service each chaplain is
permitted to employ the order used in
his own denomination and may also
use the vestmenrs Of lis church, IL any.

foaming currents. he plunges with his
horse completely under water. Blind

The use of salt as n condiment is so
general and so universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear u
word against its excessive use, but
there are multitude Of persons who
eat far too much salt; eat it on every
thing-on meat, fish, potatoes, melons,
in butter, on tomatoes, turnips, and
squashes, in bread, and on host of
foods too numerous to mention. To
so great nm extent is il used, that no
food is relished which has not salty
taste, and this hides more or less the
real taste, which is often very del
icate. Now, the amount of salt re-
quired in the system is comparatively
small, and if the diet has been right
y compounded, very little is necessa-
ry. Some go SO far as to discard its
use altogether, but whether this is
wise or not, we will not here consider.
What are some Of the evils of the ex-
cessive use Of salt? They are to para
lyze the nerves of taste, or to pervert
them so that they cannot enjoy any
thing which has not a salty favor, and
in addition, there is direct tax on
both the skin and the kidneys in re-
moving it from the blood. Whether
the skin is harmed by this tax we do
not know. Possibly it is not greatly
injured, yet we know that few people
possess healthy skin; but it is now
pretty well settled that an excessive
use of salt does overtax the kidneys
in it's removal, and that the great
number of cases of arrangement and
disease OF these organs is due to this
use. 1t takes only little time ia
learn to enjoy many kinds of food
without salt, and we advise orr read
ers and others to look into this matter
and to try and diminish the use Of
this condiment as far as possible. We
believe they will be better for it,

the extended trials which we're granted
to silk aud sorghum. The idea was
first broached in 1854 or 1866, and in
1857 the government commissioned
Robert Fortune, the English author
and botanist, who had spent many
years in China, to send to the United
States Patent Office from that country
specimens OF tea seeds and young
plants. These arrived in good condi
tion, and in August, 1859, over fifty
thousand fine tea plants were growing

why it coull be raised successfully in
