? PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOUTI
STORY CORNER.
A street boy of diminutive stature was
trying to sell some very young kittens to
passers-by. One day he accosted the late
Rev. Phillips Brooks, asking him to purchase,
and recommending mem as good
episcopal kittens. Dr. Brooks laughingly
refused, thinking them too small to
be taken from their mother. A few days
later a Presbyterian minister who had
witnessed this episode was asked by the
same boy to buy the same kittens. This
time the lad announced that thev were
faithful Presbyterians.
"Didn't you tell Dr. Brooks last week
that they were Episcopal kittens?" the
minister asked sternly.
"Yessir," replied tne boy quickly, "but
they's had their eyes opened since then,
sir."?Everybody s.
It is told of the youth of a young German
prince, many years ago, and presumably
the present emper of German}',
that upon one occasion, his tutor having
been changed, the new-comer in examining
the young prince asked, "Can your
highness tell me how much is nine times
twelve?" "Seventy-two,* replied the
prince, with royal promptness. The tutor
paled, but soon * recovered his equanimity.
"Permit me to state to your highness
that your highness former tutor,
which I have had the honor to succeed as
an instructor to your royal highness, an
pears to have been a person of rather
limited capabilities," he said.?Harper s

An Irishman on board a man-of-war
was ordered to haul in a tow line. After
pulling in forty or fifty fathoms, he
muttered to himself: "Surely it's as long
as today and tomorrow. It's a good
week's work for any five in the ship. Bad
luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at
last. What, more of it yet? Och murder!
The say's mighty deep, to be sure!'
After continuing in a similar strain, he
suddenly stopped short, and, addressing
the officer, exclaimed, "Bad manners to

Secular News j
Russia?Another Attempt on theCzar's
Life: It is reported at St. Petersburg,
that twenty arrests have been
made, including several persons in the
emperor's palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, for
alleged connection with the bomb exnlnainn
in thp Cnfo Ppntrnl in St Potpra
burg recently. The bomb was left oa
a table by a man in the uniform of a
student and a waiter was killed and the
cafe badly damaged by the explosion.
It is said that the bomb outrage and the
arrests were the outcome of a vast terroriest
plot against the imperial family.
India?Riots Over Religion: The prohibition
by the police, in deference toHindu
feelings, of Mohammedan sacrifices
of cows led to serious riots at TStteghum,
just outside of Calcutta. Troopswere
summoned from Barrack Pur to
quell the trouble, and were compelled to
fire upon the rioters, several of whom*
were killed and sixty seriously injured.
Two hundred arrests were made.
China?The Grand Chancellor Dismiss
ed: Following the dismissal from office
of Yuan Shi Kai, grand chancellor and
commander in chief of the forces, ana
the appointment of Na Tung as grand
chancellor, an edict was issued appointing
Liang-Tung-Yen customs toatai, to
the position thus made vacant on the
foreign board. The British and American
ministers have reached an agreement
that the dismissal of Yuan Shi
Kai should not pass unnoticed. The
American, British, German and Japanese
ministers met again at the American legation,
Sir John N. Jordan, the British
minister, joining with Mr. Rockhlll, the
American ministers, in# submitting an
outline of representations which should
be made to the foreign board. The min
lsiers disagree on me question as 10
whether the welfare of foreign interestsIs
technically Involved by the regents
action, but they agree that peace is endangered.
The representatives of Great
Britain, the United States and Germanyview
the regent's action as tantamount
to an affront to the powers on account
of Yuan Shi Kai's position abroad, hebeing
recognized as a medium of fair and
equitable treatment toward the nations.
The dissenting ministers are of the opinion
that unless other serious events occur,
interferences would not be justified.
Japan concurs in the opinion that the
dismissal is certain to- result in inter
national injury, but that representations
to China would be difficult. There is a
marked lack of unanimity among thediplomats
in the present situation.
The Court's Action a fortnight ago in
increasing the palace troops und forbidding
the entrance to the palace, even
of the highest officials without passes,
was taken as an indication at that time
nf the alarm fait In ronrt rtn>leo anA It
is now bel'eved that there was fear alsoof
an anti-dynastic plot. Today the government
intimated its intention of making
public the impeachment, giving details
of Yuan Shi Kal's alleged intrigue
upon which his dismissal was based.
According to reliable information th?
impeachment is framed on charges
