Georgia Negroes Abroad.

A Georgia negress, Miss Bur-
roughes, made an address at Hyde
Park, London, recently, at one of the
meetings Of the Baptist worlds con-
gress. She attracted considerable at
tention by some Of her quaint express
sions and stories. Among her oratori-
cal gems were the following:
cts useless to telegraph to heaven
for cart loads of blessings and then
not to be on the wharf to unload them
when they arrive"
"The church at my home where /
belong is so small that you have to
go out to turn around, but it makes
Baptists, all the same.'
"At a recent revival meeting down
In Georgia SO much noise was made
that the neighbors were somewhat an
nOyed. One man asked his cook,
Mary, who was present at the meet
Ing, to tell the pastor next time that
so much noise was quite unnecessary.
Have you not heard he said, how
the beautiful Temple of Solomon was
built without noise?" Yes, BOSS re-

Newton,s TeIescone.

Newton fashioned a concave mirror
from a mixture Of copper and tin,
which gives surface with almost the
luster Of silver. An image Of the star
was produced in the focus Of this mir
ror, and then this image when exam
ined by magnifying eyepiece permits
the astronomer to study the star at
what is equivalent to greatly reduced
distance. Such is the principle of the
famous erecting telescope which bears
the name of Newton. The little reflect
or which he constructed is still pre-
served as one of the treasures Of the
Royal society. The telescope tube had
the very modest dimensions Of an inch
in diameter. 1t was. however, the pre-
cursor of whole series of magnificent
instruments, each outstripping the 9th
er In magnitude.

The young woman from Baltimore
was introduced to the whole rOomful
Of more OF less celebrated individuals,

which she prided herself that she
could remember an amazing proper
ton Of the names Of those present.
When, however, she came to say fare
well to a certain rather distinguished
young man, who, by the way, was
probably the only person there who
was not of a literary" turn, she re-
marked:
do you know, I've remembered
very nearly all the names, but when
it comes to yours 1 must confess that
I'm entirely at sea-"
With q smile the man replied:

was referred to lady who seemed
surrounded with every comfort and
happiness and possessed a husband
who seemed devoted to her. The wild

an answer was shown a closet where

She was told it was the remains of the
