of electric lighting for the city at a
recent meeting. You are" he declared

my deafness is less of a handicap there
than it would be as an infielder. BY ex-
perfence l have learned by using my
eyes and judgment to overcome the
loss of hearing, which befell me as the
result of brain fever when 5 years old.
There are three departments in
base ball to be considered-batting,
base running and fielding, not to men
ton base ball sense as it is called,
or the instinct without which one can-
not be a successful player. In batting
there is really little handicap for a
mute. I can see the bali as we'll as
others and my team mates tell me
whether a bali or strike is called by
using the left fingers for balls and the
right fingers for strikes.
"In b~se running the signals OF the
hit and run game and other stratagems
are mostly silent, the same as for the
other players. BY a further system of

10 De the minister in one of New
fork's big churches is to occupy a
lucrative and desirable position. The
salaries are large and the perauisItes
oiten double the salary. It was said
nat the late DR.. John Hall had an in
come Of between $4,000 and $50. 900 a
year OF this his salary was s25 900
ana the rest was for marriage fees
and other incidentals. DR.. Morgan
DIX OF Trinity receives s25 900 per
annum, and his perquisites are quite
as much as were Dr.. Halls. He has
also about twenty assistant curates
none or whom gets less than 50. 500 per
annum. Not less is the income of DR..
Greer' rector Of st. Bartholomew
Episcopal church, for besides a large
salary he o~fficiates at more fashion
able weddings than any other minister
IN New York. DR.. Huntington Of
Grace church probably comes third in
the list of high-priced preachers. DR..
Macarthur of Calvary church is the
pest paid Baptist minister in the city,
although his salary does not equal
That OF some of the Episcopal rectors.
But his parish is large, and he is in
frequent demand at weddings. By a
sort of unwritten law among the clergy
the minister's wife always receives all
wedding fees. They are supposed to
be her pin money. Some ministers
who are unmarried set this sum aside
for charity. Clergymen who have big
churches and wealthy congregations
receive a substantial recompense for
officiating on these occasions. The
custom of giving big marriage fees
is every year increasing, and the big
ger the fee the more complimentary
1t is supposed to be for the bride. For
his services at the christening of the
little mes of the rich the rector also
gets a nice check. When it is remem
bered that handsomer residences are
thrown in by the large churches, in
addition to the regular salary, it will
be seen that a call to a rich metropoli-
tan church is not to be despised.-

Small quantities of gold had been dis

Sir Roderick Murehison had announced
the probabilities of large gold diseov-

But it was Hargreaves' find that
created the gold fever of 1851, and that
ended the depression from which Aus
