A Todoh Case.—In Arkansas, El

at a revival meeting, advanced with a
wiry, sharp-oyetl old ebap into the wa
ter. He asked the usual question,
whether there was any reason why tho
ordinance of baptism should not be ad
ministered. After a ponso atatL pow-
erful looking chap, with an eye lifeo a
blase, who liras leaning on a long rifle
and quietly looking on, remarked :—
“Elder, I don't wnht to intorforo in
this yore business any, but I want to
say that is an old sinner you hnvo got
hold of, and I know that one dip won’t
do him nny good. If you want to get
tho sin out of him you'll have to anchor
him out iit deep water over night.”

An American citizen, who was in

noble .of all Cubans, wore upon her
left breast tlie American flag, with the
inscription, ,‘Long live the Republic of

song was being Bung, tlio whole audi

man, [and as .she rose to.aujtnowledge
tlio sjilute—all flyes. wore now bent
upon her—a low, mean, cowardly Span

her instantly. Two American gentle*

Instantly, tho whole theatre was the

Mr. Warner, of Alabama, wished to
know whether the Committee on Com

He asked tlis question because lie had

Almighty Dollar .Five
months since, a Dr. Ridley, of Boston,
amputated the log of-a five year old
son of his, who'lmd been injured by
being run over by an omnibus.—
For this damage to his son he collect
ed six thousand dollars. It now turns
out that -the boy’s great and next to
the great toe were alone injured, and
this not sufficient to require more than
two splints, bandages, and a little care.
Bnt, to recover damages, the Christian
father gave his child chloroform,, am
putated tlie leg below the knee, and re
covered pay for the damages lie alone
had causod. It is not long sinee the
inhuman monster was making speeches
agaifist tlie Southern people for whip

ful mortality among them. The whites
are not able now to einplqy nurses,
