IsrIdge of eomns.

When the British forces were march jug on Pekin in 1860, after the capture of the Taku forts, one of the rivers became so swollen with the heavy rains that it was rendered impossible. Being aware that the Chinese general ly order their collins years in advance and keep them on the premises, orders were given to search all the houses of the village and collect every coffin. With the aid of few empty casks the soldiers constructed 8 pontoon bridge of cofiins sufficiently strong to bear the artillery and the river was thus passed in safety.

APerformance In Texas Brought toa
Sudden End by an Unexpected
Denomination.

An actor tells OF a tragic experience
he had recently while playing to an
audience in little town in southern
Texas, reports the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. In one of the scenes of the
play, in which he acts the villain, he
hides himself in barrel, that he may
listen to conversation between tho
hero and heroine, whose future wellA
being he is trying to destroy. In this
town hall there was little if any prop.
erty material. A barrel would do to-
conceal himself in, SO hired hand'
was sent out to find one. He succeeded.
The time came for the actor to do his
part. He slipped in the barrel with
ease. The man and the woman ap-
peared, and while they were in the
midst of an animated conversation
there came n howl from the barrel that
fairly shook the rafters. This was fol-
lowed by the eavesdropper crawling
out with his hands to his face, and
he in turn was followed by a swarm Of
wasps. The wasps got among the stage
people and then among the audience,
which created so much confusion that
the show was broken up.

after he had devoted more than ono
hour to u.s. when the benedlction was
said, we olbowod our way TO the min
lister and introduced ourselves and
thanked him for bearing testimony to
the truth OF the Gospel we represent.
When he asked for an explanation. we
referred him to Matt .. li-i2: Blessed
