ncecher'n AnnlicntIon.

One Saturday afternoon two Brook
Ign men were on their way ovcr Fulton
ferry to the City Of Churches. Mr..
Beecher happened To be on board. As
the ferryboat felt Its way into the slip
Mr.. Beecher seemed 10 be looking on
abstractedly. As the boat struck the
piling at the side, which creakingly
yielded. Mr.. Beecher's face lighted up.
one Of the men, who knew Mr.. Beech
er's method of sermonlzing, remarked
to the other: There will be something
about that In tomorrow's ermon Let
US go and see" The men We're In Plym-
Outh church the following morning as
suggested. Sure enough. In the course
Of the sermon Mr.. Beecher made some
such reference as this: There are in
every community men who perform
for society the service that yonder pill
Ing does In the ferry sllp-when they
are struck they gracefully yield, yet
are not quite swept from their position.
They stand for principle. but they tact
fully yield In nonessentials. Those
buffer souls are valuable members of
society"

The Iron pillar Of Delhi.

The famous iron pillar OF Delhi IL
dealt with In Casters Magazine. The
pillar is Il solid shaft of wrought iron,
sixteen inches In diameter and OF "A
length that Is y0riously reported. The
total length IL from forty-elght to sixty
feet under ground and above, includ.
ing n capital Of three and one-half
feet. The pillar contains about eighty
cubic feet Of metal and weighs about
seventeen tons. The metal Is, OF
course, charcoal iron, made directly
from ore In small billets: but how II
was welded up no u can tell. as no
record exists OF any early method Of
dealing with great masses Of wrought
iron. An inscription roughly cut or
punched upon the column states that
Rajah Dhara subdued n people In the
Surdhu. named Vahlikos. and obtained
with his own arm an undivided SOW
ereignty on the earth for a long pc
Rod. The date Of the inscription has
been referred TO the third or fourth
century after Christ. but on this au-
thorities are at variance.
