Superb Paintings.
The Catholics are about to open a
fair at Savannah for the benefit of the
Cat hedral of that place, and they pro
pose t.o raftle eight paintings, which
are thus described by tho Savannah
Advertiser:
(>ne of them, ten feet *by seven, is a
life size copy of the Immaculate Con
coption of Murillo, which was carried
from Spain to France by Marechal
8,.u1t during the Peninsula war, and
subsequently sold to the French Gov
eminent by the heirs of the Marechal,
for the enormous sura of 000,000 francs,
viz: 5i25,000. It stands now in the
museum of the Louvre, by the side of
Raphel’s Madonna ala Chaire, opposite
to Veroneze’s Nuptials in Coma, a gem
among the gems of that grand temple
of art.
in the great masterpiece which made
him the rival of Rafael, Murillo has
painted the vision of St. .John, at Path
mas. The woman of the promise ap
pears on clouds of the richest hue,
with the moon under her feet, sur
rounded by clouds of angels in such
ravishing groups as Murillo alone ever
dreamt of. She heeds them not; her
soul is heavenward, beyond these gol
den clouds that tell of the nearness of
God’s throne, liers is a look of purity,
divine love and wondering humility,
the beauty of which will forever haunt
one who has seen it, although human
language cannot express it.
Next to this comes a Madonna,
copied from Lan franc, an artist of pow
erful genius, of the school of Carrache.
Of this and of the other paintings we
will forbear to make any description.
We prefer to leave to the public the
pleasure of surprise which awaits them
at the sight of so many treasures, a
real good fortune for all lovers of the
beautiful—all devotees of the fine art.
The price of chances are to be two
dollars, and, considering the eight
highest throws will win a painting
each, there is a reasonable hope for
every ticket-holder to win one of those
beautiful gems.
Murillo’s Immaculate Conception
alone is worth SI,OOO. It was copied
by Monsieur Duboiz, a Parisian artist
of great merit, and any one who has
se.un the original can testify that it
does it full justice.
There is now in this city a Catholic
clergyman, Father Tanquereey, sent
here by Bishop Gross to visit the Cath
olic people of Augusta, in the interest
of the raffle, and parties who desire to
secure chances can do so by calling on
Father Prendergast, the Jesuit Fathers
or at Sisters of Mercy.

Col. Orzo J. Dodds, late member of
Congress from the First District of
Ohio, tells a good story about a call he
recently received at his office from a
man who claimed to beau editor from
Ar .<an3as. He was a very seedy-looking
cn.ip, and appeared as though he had
> >ut recently come off from about a six
weeks’ spree. Bowing profoundly,
then striking au attitude, with one
baud ou his heart and the other ex
tending a badly-used plug hat, he ex
claimed, with a dramatic air :
“ Have I the honor of addressing the
Hon. Orzo J. Dodds ? ”
“ My name is Dodds ; but I am no lon
ger an honorable,’ said the Colonel.
*Not an honorable? Dodds not an
honorable? Now, by St. Paul, when I
see that honest face, on which all the
gods, at once seem to set their seal
(•gieen seal,’ murmured Dodds to him
self), I read nothing dishonorable.’
‘That’s light,’ said Dodds. ‘Never
read anything dishonorable. But to
business.’
‘Yes, as you say, to business. I am
a printer; I might say, with no uube
eomming blush, an editor. lam from
tile noble State of Arkansaw—the only
State, by the way, able to and willing to
support two governors at the same
time. But I have been unfortunate. —
Much have I been tossed through the
ire of cruel Juuo, and—’
*• Juno how is it yourself ?” broke in
the Colonel.
“ Buffeted by the word’s rude storms,
you see me here a stranded wreck.
Scarce three moon’s past I left my
office jn charge of my worthy foreman,
uni sought the peaceful vales and
valtn retreats of the Muskingum Talley,
where my childhood sported. Return
ing, I stopped in Cincinnati. I fell into
evil company, and—but why dwell on
details? Enough that I am—that I
nat —disheartened, ruined, broke. A
mark for scorn to point her slow, un
erring finger at. As I was about to
give up in dispair, having given up
everything else I had, 1 thought of you.
Sir, lam here. You have not sent for
me, but I have come. Y'our name, is
known aud honored from one end of
this great republic to the other. It
Glows in the stars,
Refreshes in the breeze,
Warms in the sun,
And blossoms on the tress.
When the National Treasury was
threatened by a body of greedy Con
gressmen, you stood like a wall of ada
mant between the people and those in
famous salary grabbers. Lend me a \
• ioHiir t
“ My dear sir,” the Colonel hastened
t<- explain, “ you mistake the case en
tirely. 1 was one of the grabbers.”
“ You were ?” (grasping the Colonel’s
hand warmly.) “So much the better.
Let me congratulate you that a parsi
monious public could not frighten you
■ out of what was a fair remuneration
hfor your invaluable services. I am
glad that your pecuniary circumstances
are so much better than I supposed.—
Make it two dollars /”
And the Colonel did. It was the
only clean thing left for him to do.
Maria is a very popular name in Illi
lKis. When a cat climbs a back fence
in a weil-pepulnted neighborhood, and
pi datively calls out “ Mariar!” twenty
or thirty windows are hastily thrown
*ip, from which protrude twenty or
thirty female heads wildly answering
“ What.”
A man who had saved the life of a
daughter of a Boston millionaire re
ceived $2.50 from the grateful parent.
He was so overcome with the mag

cent of it to seventeen organ-grinders
to simultaneously serenade his bene
factor.

HE COULDN’T SEE IT.
Canvassing for the Heathen.
A man about thirty years old, wear
ing a battered plug hat and seedy
clothes, looking as hungry as a man
who had been wrecked on an iceberg,
and evidently an imposter, softly en
tered a Gratoit avenue saloon yesterday,
and leaning over the bar whispered to
the proprietor :
“My dear sir, I am canvassing for
subscriptions for the benefit of the
heathen.”
“Ish dat zo?” replied the saloon
keeper, rinsing a glass.
“Yes, my friend, that is so,” con
tinued the man, taking out a very
greasy passbook. “Yes, I am collect
ing money for the benefit of the poor
heathen, who are living in a state of
vice and ignorance. Some put down
ten dollars—some five—some one, all
give something. Here is the book, and
you can subscribe such an amount as
you think best.”
•• Ish it a betition to dem gommon
gouneil ?” inquired the saloouist, as he
looked at the book.
“ No, sir, you do not understand my
object. I am collecting subscriptions
for the benefit of the heathen, and you
can write your name and give me such
an amount as your conscience directs.”
“ Yere ish dem heathens?” inquired
the beer-seller, looking coldly at the
stranger’s battered hat.
“ In Africa,” replied the gent, “in
far off Africa, where all is gloom and
loneliness, because tbe heathen has no
education.”
“ And vat gounty is dat Africa in ?”
inquired the saloonist.
“ My dear man, Africa is a country—
a great big country, far o’er the deep
blue sea. Is it possible that you never
heard of Africa ?”
I haf lived in Toledo and Chicago,
but I didn’t here someone ever say a
word about Africa.”
“ Well, that is neither here nor there.
I am authorized to collect subscrip
tions for the heathen, who is running
about in a state of nakedness and sin
fulness, and who must have bread for
his mind and be brought to realize that
he should live for something besides
this life.”
“ Yah, dat is so,” replied the saloon
ist in a reflective tone.
“ You contribute- whatever sum you
may think best, and I forward it to
Boston by first mail, where it is turned
into bibles, and the bibles shipped to
Africa. Most people esteem it a privi
lege to be allowed to subscribe to this
fund. Will you write your name down ?”
“ I tinks I vill,” replied the man, and
he hunted up his pencil, and after much
labor wrote his name on one of the
pages and handed the book back with
the remark:
“ I dunno if you can’t read it.”
“ That is all right, but you have neg
lected to mark down the amount of
your contribution. Let’s see—will you
say a dollar ?”
“ Yhat ?”
“ Will you give the sum of one dol
lar for the heathen ?”
“Ha ! Yat you spoke about ?”
“Will you give me a dollar to for
ward to the poor, benighted heathen?”
“ Money—gif you money ?”
“ Yes— for the heathen !”
“Gif you von dollar?”
“ Yes, a dollar for the benighted race
who are dwelling in darkness.”
The saloon keeper looked at him for
a half minute, and then, reaching down
for a club, said :
“ You’d petter go out py dat door! I
sign dat pook to get dat heathen some
close py de poonnaster, and dat is
pie Qty ! if you sthay here some little
while more I shall hit you mit dis glub
on de head ! ’
“ My dear ”
“Go aus mit dat door!” yelled the
saloon keeper, running from behind
the bar, and the canvasser had to go.
[Pottsville (Pa.) Journal,
They Rescued the Dog.
The other day a young man named
Benjamin Machamer, one of the best
hunters in Northumberland county,
made a remarkable escape from a well
into which he fell. This well is in the
lower part of the town of Troverton,
near the old round-house. So long a
time has elapsed since it has been in
use that its existence was almost for
gotten. It is about eight feet wide and
eighteen feet deep, and at the present
time contains ten feet of water. It was
covered'with plank the day in ques
tion. Machamer started out in pursuit
of game, accompanied by his dog, a
valuable setter. His paht lay near
the old well, into which his dog
had the misfortune to fall,
through a hole caused by the
decaying planks. The dog was highly
prized by Mr. Machamer, who, in at
tempting to rescue it fell jn himself. In
au ordinary sized well the situation
would have been, dangerous, and in
this case was extremely so, as the un
usual width of the well prevented him
from bracing himself against the side.
The only possible way for him to get
out was to climb up one side, and, as
the wall was very closely built, this was
a very difficult feat. But it was a
struggle for life, and Mr, Machamer,
being a young man of powerful strength
and great energy, resolved to try. He
succeeded in almost reaching the top,
only to lose his hold and fall back,
Again and again he climbed up
the side of the wall, aud each time fell
back into the water beneath. Every
time he fell back the half-strangled
dog would spring upon his shoulders,
thus bearing him down and keeping
him under water. In spite of this dif
ficulty, however, be would succeed in
regaiuing the wall. At one time he be
came faint from the effect of the im
pure air. He had found a small stick
floating on the water, which he insert
ed in the wall and placed one foot
upon it, then put both hands in an ap
erture, tbiuking if he 41*1 swoon he
might possibly hang there until he re
turned to consciousness. The faiut-
nese, however, passed away, and he
again attempted to reach the top. Find
ing that his clothes greatly impeded his
progress, ho succeeded in divesting
himself of his coat and boots, one of
which he throw out, leaving the other
with the coat to siok to the bottom.
Thirteen times he climbed up the side
of the well, and thirteen times he fell
back into the well. His perseverance
surpassed that of the traditional spi
der, for he had great odds to contend
with. At last, almost wore out, he
made a final effort and reached the
top. He didn’t wait for the dog, but
started for home immediately, and
told his story. His father and another
gentleman returned at once and res
cued the dog. Mr- Machamer states
that he was in the well aq hour. The
escape was wonderful.
An old farmer gives it as his candid
opinion, after many years of observa
tion and experience, that the arrival of
a circus will do more towards enforc
ing the Fourth Commandment than a
dozen Sunday schools.

Mount Tabor.
BY JOHN HAY.
On Tabor’s height a glory came,
And, shrined in clouds of lambent flame,
Tho aw-struck, hushed disciples saw
Christ and the prophets of the law;
Moses, whose grand and awful face
Of Sinai’s thunder bore the trace,
And wise Elias, in his eyes
The shade of Israel’s prophecies,
Stood in that vast mysterious light
Than Syrian moons more purely bright,
One on each hand—and high between
Shone forth the godlike Nazarene.
They bowed their heads in holy fright,
No mortal eyes could bear the sight.
And when they looked again, behold!
The fiery clouds had backward rolled,
And borne aloft, in grandeur lonely,
Nothing was lott, “ save Jesus only.”
Resplendent type of things to be!
We read its mystery to-day
Witli clearer eyes than even they,
The fisher saints of Galilee.
We 800 the Christ stand out between
The ancient law and faith serene,
Spirit and letter—but above
Spirit and letter both was Love,
Led by tho hand of Jacob’s God
Through wastes of eld a patli was trod
By which the savage world could move
Upward through law and faith to love.
And there in Tabor’s harmless fiame
The crowning revelation came.
The old world knelt in homage due,
The prophets near in reverence drew,
Law ceased its mission to fulfill
And Dove was lord on Tabor’s hill.
So now, while creeds perplex the mind
And wranglings load the weary wind,
When all the air is filled with words
And texts that ring like clashing swords,
Still, as for refuge, we may turn
Where ’Tabor’s shining glories burn—
The soul of antique Israel gone—
And nothing left but Christ alone.

A Coroner’s Boy.
He is a boy of deep thought, and is
much given to deductions. The coro
ner is not his father, but he is a lad
who was engaged to mind the office,
shake up the coal stove and answer
enquiries. He is a good boy, and he
has learned to sympathize with re
porters. When there has been an in
quest the boy puts on a cheerful look,
and he has the whole case so that he
can rattle it off from beginning to
end.
“Awful sad case,” he says to the re
porter. “They found the old man hang
ing to a beam in the woodshed, stiff
and cold. Splendid chance for you to
say that his wide open eyes seemed to
glare down upon the coroner, and that
he bad one arm stretched out, as if to
shake hands with the grirn monster
death. You can say that the body
swayed to and fro in the night breeze,
blowing as through a broken pane, and
that an owl sat on a beam over the
corpse and uttered his fournful hoo
hoo !”
And then he rubs li'is hands, his
smile grows broader, and he con
tinues :
“Business has begun to pick up, and
there may be an inquest every day for
a week. Hope so, for I like to see
business moving and money coming in.
I’m looking every day for a case of
murder—throat cut from ear to ear—
blood-stains on the wall—blood-stained
knife ou the floor—marks of a fearful
struggle —desperate villain, and so
forth. If you don’t happen to be
around I’ll send a boy down.”
But there are.other days when he is
sad, and he says to the reporter :
“ Nothing to-day. I’m sorry, but
you know we can’t push business as
grocers do. Advertising wouldn’t help
us a cent’s worth, and the holiday sea
son is no better than any other season.
I wish we had a ease for you, and if
anything turns up, I’ll eoine down my
self and give you the points. There’s
lots of folks who might as well com
mit suicide as not, but they don’t seem
to care whether the coroner has one
case a month or none at all. Be patient,
and we’ll try and turn up something
to-morrow.”
Who could help but contract a rev
erence for such a boy ?
An Enfant Terrible at the Play.—
A baby wa3 present while McCollough
was playing in New Orleans, the other
night. The Picayune says : “As the
misfortunes of Spartacus approached
their culmination the baby gave vent
to various expressions of alarm and
discontent. When the gladiator bade
his wife and child farewell the baby
howled dismally; when the rebel chief
tain swore vengeance and destruction
on Rome the baby deprecated his vio
lence in moving terms. But when Jes
sippitis, or whatever his name was,
rushed in with a great deal of brick
dust on his throat and lots of blue
plaster distributed about his head and
body—when he gasped and gurgled
and flung his arms wildly about, and
laughed a maniacal and fiendish laugh,
and when Spartacus flipped out his
cleaver and fell upon the expiring
wretch with savage fury—then, then
ye angels and ministers of discord!
then that baby burst into a storm of
squeals, and screams and screeches
that drowned the thunders of the
stage, aud raised the hair of the spec
tators with a horror never contem
plated in Ihe programme. The noise
was presently subdued ; there came a
souud as of strapgling, aud a flurry
suggestive of a baby choked and sat
upon; and the play then proceeded.”
“ Lone Jack.” —The following ancient,
quaint aud clever acoount of the origin
of this famous brand of smoking to
bacco appears in the Harvard Advocate.
The reader who would enjoy it, perfect
ly this Sunday morning must take
down his meerschaum, rub it kindly
with his silk handkerchief, insert a
fresh weixel, fill the creamy bowl with
feathery flakes of true Virginia, and
read and puff and smile, as he must:
“ There is a kind of tobacco verie
good called ‘Lone Jack.’ and how it
came to be soe called was on this wise :
King James II did greatly dislike ye
smoking of tobacco, holding it to be a
grievyous synne, whereat it did seeme
to some wagge in Vyrginie a good jest
to stamp uponne bys tobacco ye Kyngos
face, wyth’a pipe in hys qjouthe. Ye
fame of thys did greatil spread abroade,
even to France, where they did falslie
change ye Kynges name unto L’Onze
Jacques (mistaking the II to be eleven),
which seeming to they of Vyrginie a
better jest than the other, they did
change ye Kynges crowne qnto a hatte,
and name hym ‘ Lone Jack.’ ”
A Portland paper unearths the fol
lowing from the Eastern Herald and
Gazette , published in that city in 1796 :
Whereas, It is reported that I, the
subscriber, have injured the character
of the ltov. Mr. Benjamin Bolfe, of Par
sonsfleld, by saying that he sold lemons
in Portland ; this certifies that I have
no reasop t.o think that he is guilty of
such a crime.

AGENTS WANTED.
+•— ——.
Every Family to be Canvassed.
WE want local Agents everywhere, ami
one General Agent in each State, for
The Christian Age,
a weekly Journal of 10 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Curistian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Cu rrent Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families throughout the cnuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS. D- D.,
Is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest,
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise: and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, wo shall publish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each Weekly issm
transcend its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from uluerent parts of
the land who crowd the “ Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the reprc.
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in ali parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active A gouts, those who
will clo the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you cap engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, 01-
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
Orders. Drafts or Orders should be made
payable to the “Christian Age.” Post
Office Money Orders should be made paya
ble at Station D, New York.
Send ten cents for specimen number.
