No Defect in Pettus' Hearing.

Laughter went up from the Demo-
cratic cloakroom of the House for a
time while the Alabama contingent
was telling anecdotes of Senator Pet
tus. One of these anecdotes ran as
follows:
a former Alabaman, lawyer by pro-
fession, came to Washington and call
ed at the capitol to meet the Senator.
They gathered in the marble room.
where the lawyer addressed the Sena-
tor in very loud tones AS he talked
he spoke louder and louder. as though
he thought the Senator was deaf.
Looking kindly over his spectacles.
the Senator observed in very low
tones, shifting his quid in characters
tic fashion:

FEARED WRATH OF FATHER.
How an Englishman Collected a Debt
Owed by a Deceased Turk.

A very curious experience is that re-
Gently related by an Englishman resi-
dent in Turkey. He had loaned TURK
some money, but the man was unable
to pay, and on his deathbed laid par
ticular charge on his wife and children
to meet the debt. The eldest son was
making arrangements accordingly, but
also died, and he, too, begged his family
to pay the money as soon as they could.
One day the Englishman received Il
visit from member Of the family who
said that there were now four members
Of it left, and they were ready to pay,
but one Of the daughters refused to sub
scribe her share, declaring that the
money was never really lent. The 9TH
ers, however, wished to settle the mat
ter, and if the Eiglishman would come
to the house it would be arranged.
But" the Turk added. ''if you see
there is any difficulty, just say that you
leave it to be settled in the next world"
Accordingly the Englishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence of Il
mollah, the ladies being behind a
screen. The mOllah began by asking if
he had truly lent the money, how much
it was and if he would take any less.
One Of the women behind kept saying
1t was all fraud. The Englishman
then declared that he had lent the
money; that he had not asked for it:
that they had told him to come and get
it, and if they did not want to pay it he
would leave the matter to be settled In
the next world. There was dead silence
for few moments and then the women
called their brother and each paid her
STARE without word. 1t seems the
prospect of meeting the father in e
other world without having carried out
his wishes was too serious thing to
face.

CHAPTER XXu-Continued.

Blackheath was their rendezvou IS
and soon after midday on Wednesday
the two main bodies surged on to the
heath, the Rochester division having
crossed Shooters Hill, the Maidstone
division advancing by Ethan. In
nothing was the capacity of their lead
ers better shown than in the simple ar
rangements that had been made for the
prevention of confusion. The DISPOSE
ton of the huge crowds was geographic
cal; the men from the various hun
dreds, most of them personally known to
one another, keeping together under
chief previously agreed upon. Each
hundred had its standard and standard
bearer. Very rude affairs some of these
standards were, but they were known
to the men of the locality and served to
keep them together. Mounted mar
shats galloped hither and thither, and
saw to it that these bodies did not
press too closely together. Where a
man did lose his company, which did
not happen often, he trudged on in con-
tented fraternity wherever he found
himself-trudged on, and often ran, for
so high was the excitement and so
eager the desire to be at the end of
their journey that frequently the whole
vast throng broke into a hobbling trot,
and looked like a tossing field of wheat
as they swept over the uneven ground.
And all the tumultous rout pressed on,
bound into one by thought which
became more and more single and
definite and semi-instinctive as they
advanced-the desire to speak with the
king, to rid him once for all of evil
counsellors, and to demand emaneipa-
ton from bondage for themselves and
their heirs fovever.

OLD-TlME SCOTCH SERMONS.

The length, breadth, depth and thor
Oughness of the Scottish sermon OK
the eighteenth century were vividly
portrayed by Dr. Watson. better
known as Ian Maolaren." at the Roy
al Institution recently. A subject as
he remarked, was thoroughly thrashed
out in those days. One text furnished
a minister with eight Sermons; an
other spread his comments and expla-
nations upon passage of eight verses
over period Of nine months. while
third began course of addresses to
his congregation on the Epistle of st.
James in 1866, and a whole generation
had passed away before it was COM
pleted in 1892.
Even the endurance of Scottish con-
gregations seems sometimes to have
been unequal to these great trials. ana
an order had to be issued that the peo-
pie should not entertain their neigh
bors with discourses while the minis
ter was holding forth.
1t must have been easy to slip into
heresy in those days, says the London
Chronicle. The declaration of stern

served, indicates the ready pitfalls for
