Rev. Page Milburn's recent expert
ence while delivering a sermon on the
Judgment day is being told among his
fellow clergymen.
1t was peaceful summer night,
warm enough to have all the windows
open, but not sufficiently hot to cause
a futtering of fans. The reverend
gentleman was preaching upon the
last solemn moment E. judgment day
and presenting a graphic word picture
OF the majestic and triumphal coming
of the judgment angel. Extending
his arms, he began impressively:
"Hark! What is that sound that
bursts upon my carr" The infuriateo
and appalling yowl of felines IN
mortal combat on a neighboring fence
rent the air.
There was a general litter from the
younger folk in the congregation
Thinking to stem the current OF
amusement by the reproof, the clergy
man continued in impressive tones:
LET not our minds be diverted.

that bursts upon my ears? An ear
splitting series of spittings and yowls
came in instant rejoinder from the
combatants upon the fence. 1t was
too much for the speaker and audi
ence.
will the congregation join in the
closing hymn?" said the discounted
preacher. And with a speedy beneiic
ton the service came to an abrup,
conclusion.-Baltim Sun.

passed through the flap Of the miners

O'Connell grasped him by the throat
and battered his head against the after
thwart, while the boats crew vaply
endeavored to drag him off.
When D. recovered consciousness
he was surly, but subdued. Finding
that O'Connell was absolutely deter
mined to board the schooner, he sulki-
ly gave way, but he talked the Other.
men into remaining on the island.
Upon the arrival Of the schooner at
Brisbane, O'Connell was given into
custody on charge of assaulting Cap
tain D. and threatening to take his
lie. Legal proceedings for breach Of
contract was also mentioned. but the
production of the bullet-perforated NAT
and the evidence of friendly witness
who bad been one of the boats crew
put very different complexion on the
matter, and O'Connell was discharged.
He got no further satisfaction.
