A ClERGYMAN'S BREAK.

Knew All About 1t.

The Rev. Or. Herrick, T. S. A., re-
tired, who is known and beloved by SOL
diers and civilians alike because of his
tender heart and his kindly wit has this
story to tell of an experience Of his down
at Fort Monroe: He was staying at
hotel thcre-last spring, l think it was
and among the persons who made his
acquaintance were two gentlemen. One
of them was n Methodist clergyman
from somewhere in Kentucky, and as his
companion had a clerical look and seemed
so great a friend to him. DR.. Herrick nat
urally concluded that the companion
too, was a Methodist. The mention Of
the town where the Methodist preacher
lived reminded DR. Uerrick of n story.

in Kentucky. the famous horsemanI" he
asked.
Yes" was the answer. The reverend
doctor smiled his kindly smile
Il heard story about him the other
day" he said. ut seems that besides
being a breeder of fine horses he was a
noted character on the race track. Bet
ting and racing were passions with him.
The time came, however, when he ex-
perienced a change of heart. He was
converted and joined peculiar sect call
ed Complexities, or Christians, n church
of very recent origin. For several months
he kept him to the strait and narrow
way, but one day he happened to be
driving a very fast horse, when he pass
ed race track. File drove in, and despite
his good resolutions he fell from grace
and presently sent his horse around the
track in the fashion Of Us unregenerate
days. Somebody saw him and reported
him. He was summarily turned out Of
the church. day or two afterward n
friend met him and asked him if the dis
missal from the church had not been n
great blow to him. Lew was unexpect-
eddy cheerful. lie was not at all cast
down.

right. ! ought to have known better
than to join a scrub church with no ped

The Methodist preacher laughed i'm

in an embarrassed way. The Methodist
finally dried his eyes.

The ghostly islands faded fast,
Faint grew the sound Of warning bell,
And-thcTe is little more to tell.

When, lifted by rcsistlcss might,
Vast pillows topped to the deck
And smote each standing thing to wrec {,

Mid icy waters, whirlng snow
Or how they died, none living know
Doomed louder yet the crashing waves,

Were strewn far down the waste of sands,
Not dug, but hcaped, by their rude hands.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

Ex-Gov Dillingham; himself puts a quie-
tiis Oh the talk of getting him out Of Gen.
CIRCUITS way for the Senate by elccting
him to the House. In a letter to the
Windsor Journal he says:
have not been, and am not now a
candidate for the House. but am as have
been. since Senator Morrill's death, a cam
didate for the Senate, and propose to re-
main in the field until the peoples repce-
sentativcs have determined the question
by election"
The scheme is one incubated by l.. s,
Hayes in Grouts employ, and ii died
aborning.
The Grout papers are now telling the
inside history of the appointment of c.
A. Prouty to be interstate commerce COM
missioner. They say it was done on the
recommendation of Gen. Circuit who was
first offered the position himself. The
statement credits Gen. Grout with excel
lent Judgment in the selection, though
why it pVoVes that he should be senator
instead of Dillingham; or Prouty is not so
plain.
