Susquehanna, oct. 1S-Near Vistol
there lives a remarkable freak, Henry
Longman. Three years ago, during a
storm. he was engaged in gathering
tan bark. when the tree from which
he was taking it was struck by light
ming. Longman received a severe
stroke. 1t transformed him into a gen.
uine electric man. Anyone who shakes
hand with him now receives a severe
shock. BY passing the blade of knife
between his thumb and finger during
the progress of storm he charges the
metal so strongly that heavy weights
can be lifted. When flies alight upon
him they drop dead, and when he is in
q dark room sparks fash from his flesh
and his eyes shine like incandescent
lights. Whenever a storm approaches,
Iopgman becomes highly charged with
electricity, ana it Is dangerous to touch
him. He claims to feel no Inconvenience,
except chat he will not go near a NOV
ing locomotive for fear of being drawn
against it and killed.

The Ball Before Waterloo.

Wellington's conduct is riddle.
About the middle of the afternoon he
was Informed, through the Prince of
Orange. as to his enemy's movements.
With perfect calm, he commanded
that his troops should be ready in their
cantonments; at five he issued orders
for the divisions to march with a view
to concentration at Nivelles, the east
ernmost point that he intended to oc-
cupy; at ten, just as he was setting out
for the Duchess of Richmond's ball, he
gave definite instructions for the con-
centration to begin. About twenty
minutes after the Prince of Orange had
reached the ballroom Wellington sent
him quietly away, and then, summon
ing the Duke of Richmond, who was
to have command Of the reserve when
formed, he asked for map. The two
withdrew to an adjoining room. Wei
lington closed the door, and said. with
an oath, Napoleon has humbugged
me-" He then explained that he had
ordered his army to concentrate at
Quatre Bras, adding, But we shall
not stop him there; and II 30, I must
fight him here" marking Waterloo
with his thumb-nail on the map as he
spoke.-Csntury.

Accuracy Carried Too Far.

the captain determined to keep an ac-
eurate account Of the voyage in his
tOgbook. One morning the first mate,
who had been on lark the day be-
fore. booking ever the lOgbook, found
this entry: The hrst mate was drunk
all day yesterday
He at once appealed to the captain,
saying 10 him: why IN the world

tain.
Yes. bat there was NO use TO state
it,
"Oh, yes, there was. intend u keep
full and accurate record of what
goes ON on board this ship during the
entire voyage"
The first mate was compelled TO sub
Knit, but his turn came. Next day he
was In charge of the ship, the captain
taking Off a day.
When he turned up the next morn
ing, he found written on the lOgbook:
THE captain was sober ali day yester-
DAY" OF course, he entered protest.

complish.

CO"piIshs
TEXT: "The Lord hath made bare Bis
holy arm."-Isaiah ill.,, 10.
at almost takes our breath away to read
OF the Bible imagery. There is such bold
ness of metaphor in my text that one must
rally his courage to preach from 1t. Isaiah
the eva1gelistic prophet, is sounding the
jubilate of our planet redeemed, and cries
out: The Lord hath made bare His holy
arm.' What overwhelming suggestiveness
in that figure of speech. the bare arm of
Godr The people of Palestine to this day
wear much hindering apparel and when
they want to run special race, or lift a
special burden, or fight special battle,
they put of the outside apparel, as in our
land when man proposes a special exer-
tion he puts off his coat and rolls up his
sleeves. Walk through our foundries our
machine shops, our mines, our factories,
and you will find that most of the toilers
have their coats of and their sleeves
rolled up.
Isaiah saw that there must be trenen-
dous amount Of work done before this
world becomes what it ought to be, and he
foresees it all accomplished. and accom-
plished by the Almighty; not as we ordi-
narily think of Him, but by the Almighty
with the sleeve of His robe rolled back to
His shoulder.
Nothing more impresses me in the
Bible than the ease with which God does
most things. There is such a reserve of
power. He has more thunderbolts than He
has ever flung; more light than He has ever
distributed; more blue than that with
which he has overarched the sky; more
green than that with which He has emer-
aided tho grass; more crimson than that
With which He has FURNISHED the sunsets.
