MOSQUE OF ST. SOPHIA
I. De Witt Talmags in a Recent Ser
mon Tells of Its Magnifcence.

When the consul general came in
his official row boat to take US off our
great steamer in the harbor of Con-
stantinople there were many things l
wanted to see in that city of multi
form entertainments, but most of all /
was anxious to see that architectural
charm of the ages, the st. Sophia
once a church, but now a mosque. i
do not wonder that when Lamartine
saw it he thanked God, and Pouque-
vile felt himself lifted into some 9TH
er world. What pillars Of porphyry,
and walls of malachite, AID lowering
arches, and galleries which seemed to
have alighted from heaven instead of
being built up from earth! Mosaics
and mother of pearl, and seraphim
with wings bediamoned and dome
which scoops the sky and staggers
with its height and circumference all
those who gaze into it until they can
look no more, but each succeeding
time you look it seems higher and
wider and grander, and more superna-
tural. All the then known world
taxed to furnish the splendor of the
mosque, and many of the great blocks
of stone brought from Alexandria,
from Athens, from Thebes, from
Baalbec. Marbles veined, and starred,
and striped, and iDterlaced, and the
whole building adorned with depths
of blue, and whiteness of snow, and
glow of fire, until all terms of mag
nifcence are depreciation and years
after your most extravagant dreams
struggle to rebuild it. But after all
l cannot forget that it is destroyed
church, and that one day that build
ing, which had been dedicated to God.
was transformed to that religion
which has Mohammed for its prophet.
One day, centuries ago, 100000 peo-
pie had fled between its walls from the
devastating war of the Turk, but all
in vain, for Mohammed ii. on horse
back and followed by Infatuated mobs,
rode into that church, the hoofs clat-
tering the sacred floors, while the
conqueror shouted the victory of su-
perstition and invoked Allah, the god
of Arabs and Turks, to accept the stu
pendous pile in dedication.

Wouldn't Work on Principle.

Eighteen trampS, who were put on
bread and water for thirty days foi
refusing to work on the stone pile
have sustained their honor and repu-
tstion by sticking their time out Oh
the limited diet rather than work
Their time ia out now, and they were
released. The hoboes were offered
full rations If they would return t.
the rock house, but all refused to lit a
hammer, notwithstanding the fact
that the allowance of hard bread was
reduced to one slice a day. The
Woman's Christian Temperance Un.
ion ALEC tried its hand on the va.
grants by holding prayer meetings al
the Jail, but this had no effect on
them. The imprisoned tramps were
released Monday. since which time
not hobo has been seen in the town.
The departing guests evidently drew
a danger line around the town on de-
parting as warning to the weary
WlIlies, as none OF the craft have been
seen since their release. Before that
the place wac swarming with them.

THE CAKE WALK,

The cake walk gotten up by the
Daughters OF the Confederacy was a
success in every respect. 1t was not a
cool, formal affair. The parties who
took part distinguished themselves. and
the'audience was most warmly enter
ia ned Among the attractive features
were the two little Laughlin brothers.
They executed their parts we'll and dc.
lighted the audience.
After the entertainment in the Hall,
which was much too small to hold all
who wanted to attend, refreshments
were served in front of the Court House.
The receipts of the evening amounted
to about siXty-sX dollars. The affair
was gotten up with great care and was
much enjoyed by packed, sweltering
audience. TO meet a general demand it
will, we are informed be repeated in a
few weeks. The larke cake was award
ed to Mr.. Frank Riddleberger and Miss
NJ any Magruder. The smaller cake to
Mr. Frank Fravel and Miss Emma COfl-

lin brothers.
The music, both instrumental al d

SMOKING IN III RCHES.

Although no exactly a popular custom,
smoking in churches has been and is
more largely INDUCED in than is generally
supposed. The custom is Dutch, that peo-
pie being the most inveterate smokers
and rarely seen without their pipe. They
even indulge in it in their churches. and
spittoons are frequently provided for the
better accommodation OF those memb2l
of the congregation who cannot deny
themselves the enjoyment of a smoke. A
similar practice exists in several
churches in South America. Smoking IN
churches in this country is said to have
been prevalent in the last years Of the
sixteenth century. AT one time smoking
was carried to such an excess in Seville
cathedral that the chapter applied to the
pope for power to repress the abuse. Ur-
ban VIII, yielding to their wish, issued a
bull. which was promulgated on January
30. 1872. In Wales smoking in church was
INDUCED in as late as 1850. In one church
the communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit of put
ting their hats upon it, and when the
sermon began they lit their pipes and
smoked, but without any idea of irrever-
ence. 1t is also stated that when the
Archbishop of York was on a visitation in
st. Mary's, Nottingham, he ordered some
or his to bring him a pipe, to-
baccO and some liquor into the Vestry for
his Refreshments after the fatigue of con-
fiji mation, but the rector would not allow
it to be done. 1t was reported recently
that at a P~resbytery meeting in Scotland
an adjournment was made to the church.
