" OF an encounter with Spain was In
augurated yesterday. when orders were
issued for the concentration at four
points In the south OF six regiments Of
cavalry, 70 regiments OF Infantry and

artillery.
At Chickamauga there VIII be six regi-
ments Of cavalry and the light batteries

Orleans eight regiments Of infantry at
Tampa seven regiments of infantry and
at Mobile seven regiments OF infantry.

Chinese Conservatism.

Many tales have been told of the un- willingness of the Chinese to see the advantages of the introduction of the telegraph into China.

One of the gam blers so far overcame his distrust of the cable as to have the winning numbers sent him, and he bought the tickets bearing them from his more skeptical townsmen, realizing a small fortune on the transaction. Not long after there was scanty crop of rice in the upper provinces, and Shanghai merchant telegraphed to Peking instructions to buy heavily The ultimate result was that he sold out at an immense profit and retired on an independency By de- grees it began to dawn on the Chinese that it was just as we'll not to tear down telegraph wires. as the telegraph was a fairly good thing to have around

At an anniversary ot deaf ana dumb asylum one of the children wrote upon the blackboard words as sublime as the "Iliad," the Odyssey and the 'Di- yina Commedia" all compressed in cne paragraph. The examiner, in the signs of the mute language, asked her, "Who made the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" The examiner asked her, "For what purpose did Christ come into the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" The exam finer said to her, "Wby were you born deaf and dumb, while hear and speak?" She wrote upon the blackboard, Even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in thy sight" Oh, that we might be baptized with contented spirit! The spider draws poison out of a flower, the bee gets honey out of thistle; but happi- ness is heavenly elixir, and the con- tented spirit extracts it not from tho rhododendron of the hills, but from the lily of the valley.

A Famous old Church.

At Alexandria, Va, stands an ancient church in nearly its original condition. Christ church, whose architect bore tAe 1ame of Wren-not, however, Sir Chris sopher. It was completed in l77S. In November, 1766, the vestry, of whom George Washington was one, levied an assessment of 31, 1855 pounds of tobacco 70 build two churches. Christ church being one. The specifications called for shingles of juniper, mortar to be two- thirds lime and one-third sand, the pediments to be in the Tuscan, and altar, pulpit and canopy in the Ionic, order. Washington was the purchaser of pew No 5, for e36 los.
 The old records show some curious entries: Two pounds ten shillings was collected of Bryan Fairfax in TITO for killing deer out of season." and Thomas Lewis was fined shillings for hunting on the Sabbath. |" The money thus collected went for the support of the poor, the lame and the blind, and buried the dead. The old records show that seats were assigned according to rank or for special reasons One Susan aab Edw ards officiated as sexton, to the entire satisfaction of the congregation The old edifice had neither chimney nor fireplace until 1872, foot stoves furnish ing the only warmth. The most con- spicuous families in the early history of Virginia were worshipers at Christ church-the Adamses, Herberts, Gus tises, Blackburns, Carlyles. Muirs, Broadwaters. Alexanders and others equally prominent.
 General Robert E Lee attended Sun- lay school and was baptized and con- tirmed in this church. and a tablet to his memory adorns the eastern wall.
 During the occupancy of Alexandria by the Federal troops the rector and many of the parish fled within the Con- federate lines The church was held by the military authorities A large mound m the churchyard marks the resting place of 34 Confederate soldiers who died in Federal hospitals in Alexandria -Harper's Weekly.

Noble Husbandmen.
 Grace in catching weather that en- ables them, without imprecation, to though again and again and again it has been almost ready for the mow. A grace to doctor the COW with hollow horn, and the sheep with the foot rot, and the horse with the distemper and to compel the unwilling acres to yield livelihood for the family, and school ing for the children, and little extras to help the older boy in business, and something for the daughters wedding when the ankles will get stiff with age, and the breath will be little short, and the swinging of the cradle through the hot harvest field will bring on the old mans vertigo. Better close up about Cincinnatus. I know 500 farmers just as noble as he was. What they want is to know that they have the friendship of that Christ who often drew his similes from the farmers life, as when he said, "A sower went forth to sow," as when he built his best parable out of the scene of farmer boy coming back from his wanderings, and the old farm house shook that night with rural jubi lee, and who compared himself to a lamb in the pasture field, and who said that the eternal God is farmer, de- claring, My Father is the husband man.
