Waltzing Against Time.
Professor Carpenter Dances for the Longest Time
on Record.
About a year ago there was a waltzing match inaugu
rated in New York city between Professor Cartier and a
well-known French professor of dancing. The French
professor retired after spinning around for eleven hours,
hut Cartier continued for an hour longer and achieved
the name of having waltzed for the longest time on
record. A week ago Prof. Julian Carpenter and a num
ber of friends were present at the walking match in Con
cert Hall. Here it occurred to Professor Carpenter to
start a waltzing match to exceed Cartier's time. Yester
day tvas named as the time, and accordingly he began at
lo o’clock in his dancing academy, at Thirteenth and
Chestnut, ami announced that he" would waltz for thir
teen hours without a moment of rest. This he accom
plished. At noon dinner was served to him while danc
ing. He cut the meat while dancing, drank a bottle of
porter while dancing, and continued his meal without
cessation. Supper was served in the same manner. When
in the evening at 11 o’clock it was announced that the
thirteen hours were just finished the dancing-master con
tinued waltzing for a couple of minutes and then at
tempted to stop. His legs refused to obey his will and
continued forming the waltzing steps despite all the Pro
fessor's exertions. Two men seized him and brought him
to the centre of the room. He then seemed weak, though
immediately la-fore he was very lively. After the ap
plause had ceased tic Professor said: “I was determined
to beat Cartier, and I have done it.” Then he was
brought into an outer room. The waltz steps used were
the Glide and Berlin. Occasionally he rested himself by
taking a partner, sometimes a lady and a* other times a
gentleman. There was a large audience in the academy.
The Indians.
The Spring Opening of the Scalping Business.
At last the cheerful Texas Indian has unearthed his
little hatchet, put two stripes of war paint on each leg,
with a dab on the nose, and gone a scalping. As usual,
the initial move in the spring campaign has been per
formed by the Kiowas, who haveiust scalped a man at
Wanderer’s Creek, near Fort Griffin, Texas, and are on
the still hunt now. Grass is good, ponies fat, weather
element, lots of water on the staked plains, and the heart
of the noble savage high with exaltation and bad whisky.
During the three years of peace he has been able to hive
awav enough ammunition for his periodical shooting
match with Uncle Sam, and no doubt will now proceed
to make it warm for the first detachment of troops that
goes out. , , _
If the Kiowas take to the fields, it is likely the Coman-
chese, Arapahoes, Cheyennes and Lipans will follow.
They can raise 10.000 warriors with ease. At the close of
the campaign of 1874, Lone Wolf said: ‘ You have
whipped us this time, because we had not enough am
munition. Next time we will not make a mistake.”
Two things have been of late noticeable—first that the
Indians have been unusually quiet for a long time—
Which means mischief; secondly, that in their buffalo
hunts they used arrows only hoarding their cartridges.
Whether the Times proves to be a successful prophet or
not, in expressing opinion that this summer will see a
vigorous Indian war light up the Texas plains, a brief
time will show.
NELIDA BASQUINE.—(From Demorest for May.)
A Double Elopement.
The Negro Agitators Still at Work,
New Out,fans, April 19.—In the colored convention
to-day speeches were made by Herbert, Dave Young,
Pinchbaek, Ruby and others on Immigration. Herbert
was for immediate immigration, saying colored men
could get no justice here. Congressmen now in Con
gress had their credentials written in the blood of ne
groes. and the judiciary was iu the worst element of the
Democratic party.
A resolution indorsing immediate immigration was
passed unanimously. The address presented yesterday
having been recommitted, the committee to-day reported
that they would amend their former report, as the ad
dress wns correct. The address was unanimously adopted.
A committee was appointed to attend a mass meeting
at Mobile.
Dave Young wanted a oommitfe of seven discreet men
to go to Vicksburg, and there to discuss the question of
immigration between the white citizens and colored la
borers. This brought on an angry discussion during
which Young was characterized as a bloated capitalist.
Pinch bonk finally got the floor, and told the members
- they had entirely lost the conception of the object of the
convention, viz: the interests of the colored men. He
did not want anything of them. He had been in Madi
son parish, and found there that the negroes sacrificed
their stock and implements to go to Kansas.
If they w anted to go, they should go and stay, and
not come back: but our duty now is to seek a remedy
for existing evils.
A resolution to send one hundred negroes to Washing
ton to apj>eal for aid was not entertained. •
After a somewhat stormy session the convention ad
journed (ill Monday.
An Heroic Mountaineer.
On the 16th inst., Ben Moody, a mountaineer, living
near Blowing Rock, in Watauga county. North Carolina,
met with a terrible death while engaged in log-rolling.
Log-r filings are often attended with accidents, usually of
a fatal character, owing to the fact that often the lops
have to be rolled down steep declivities. This process is
called training, and requires both strength and skill. It
was while Ben Moody and Bob Green was training a log
that the former met fiis death. They had rolled the log
some distance down the mountain towards the heap, but
when they had reached the steepest part in the route
both men discovered that they were unable to manage
it, and determined to turn it loose. Moody placed his
spike near the centre of the log and told his companion
to leap for his life, and that he would follow. Green
jumped and cleared the track of the log, but when
Moody attempted to follow his foot caught in a project
ing root, and the next moment the log passed over his
body. Every bone in his body was broken, and he
scarcely breathed when his companion reached him.
Moody’s conduct in forcing his friend to leave the dan
gerous position in which they were placed, while he
faced it with unflinching nerve, smacks of the heroic.
On Monday of this week there was unraveled, in Tole
do, Ohio, a true romance, fur more strange than fiction.
The Mayor of Toledo is I>r. W. W. Jones, a gentleman of
prominence in State politics and a man of large wealth.
He married into the Governor Carver family of Massa
chusetts. His youngest daughter. Miss Ida, who is about
20 years of age, is slight in figure, has large, lustrous eyes,
hair of gold, and until recently moved with an elastic
step and graceful carriage. Finely educated, of elegant
manners and born with the silver'spoon of fortune^ she
shone in society as a jewel of the first water. Her devo
tion to the Catholic Church was marked from a child.
More than a year ago her hand was sought by Harvey
Scribner, law partner of ex-Congressman Frank Hurd".
The Seribner-Jones love-match was the talk of the town.
But among Miss Ida’s acquaintances was Miss Mattie
Weeks. This girl had been Miss Ida's chum at college
and had great influence over her. Miss Weeks some time
last summer introduced to Miss Ida, then engaged to
young Scribner, one Sheridan Waite, of Fort Edwards,
New York. By playing upon Miss Ida’s religious turn of
mind they induced her to read the books printed by the
sect of religionists known as the Perfectionist. How it
came about no one knows, but on Monday Toledo was
startled with the announcement that Miss'lda had eloped
with Waite. At the same time one Bowen, from F'ort
Edwards, eloped with Miss Weeks, telling her that their
offspring would become a second Jesus Christ. Mayor
Jones found his daughter at Columbus. Upon sight" of
her father she became a raving maniac, and on Tuesday
was placed in the Columbus Asylum. Poor Scribner, at
last accounts, was hunting for the dark characters in the
story.
Disguised; as a Man.
A Fearful Plunge.
A Des Moines correspondence of the Chicago Tribune
says on Sunday last Belle Mason, 22 years of age, was
nursing a sick friend, and at 5 o’clock in the morning she
went to the well to get a glass of water for the sick girl.
While she was raising the bucket with a pulley-rope a dog
ran against her and, the curbing being slippery, threw
her feet from under her and she plunged head-first into
the well, which was twenty-one feet deep to the water
and the latter six feet deep. Below the bottom of the
well proper was a hole drilled through a stratum of rock
fortv feet and large enough to admit the body of a man,
which, fortunately, the girl escaped. Rising to the sur
face she uttered a scream. After several immersions in
the water she got hold of the bucket and waited for help.
Avery MeCune, a young man. without a thought of peril,
descended the well, picking his way along the stone wall,
reaching the girl as she had nearly become exhausted.
Clasping her under one arm, the heroic fellow retraced
his way, as he went down, and placed her on the sumce,
when she swooned completely. When it is considered
that she weighs 130 pounds, added to which were her
water-soaked garments, and that she was so exhausted as
to be perfectly helpless, the nerve and pluck of the
young man are apparent.
William and Rebecca Hanson, residents of Tioga couu-
Nty.ew York, a few days ago received a letter from a long-
lost daughter, who, after about twenty years, lifts been
lietfrd from for the first time. Just before the war, Katie
(the daughter’s name) was driven half wild by the im
portunate wooing of a boorish lover and the command
of her parents that she should marry him. She donned
male attire and ran away. Making for Buffalo she ob
tained employment as a cook on a steamer that ran from
Buffalo to Detroit. Later she found herself on a Mississ
ippi river as head cook. A year of man’s work made
her feel like a man, she says, so in 1861 she enlisted as a
private. She was promoted to sergeant in 1863, and in
1864 was in Captain Hopkins’ company, under General
Thomas, at Nashville. At the close of the war Captain
Hopkins asked her what she proposed to do. She said
she didn’t know. “Marry me, then, woman, and take
off your borrowed duds,” said the captain. Katie was
thunderstruck, for she never thought her sex suspected.
She married Captain Hopkins and went to Cuba, ex
pecting to fight in the patriot cause there. But they con
cluded to buy some land and go to raising sugar" cane
and children. Mrs. Hopkins writes to her parents that
she will visit them this summer, bringing them two
grandsons. This is vouched for by the Waverly (N. Y.)
Advocate, which swears on its honor that the strange his
tory is true in the minutest detail.
Auction of Girls at a Church. Fair.
Lp at Racine, Wis., some pretty woman suggested that
the monotony of the church fair be relieved by a mock
auction sale of ladies. All the other pretty women were
tickled at the idea, and carried the day/ The gallant
young men shelled out the five and ten dollar bills at a
lively rate, and at times the bidding would be so spirited
that the church debt came near being paid olf. Towards
the close of the sale, however, a lank young man from
the country said that his girl must do something for the
church. So his girl was put up. Now it so happened
that several young men had a grudge against the country
man and they hauled him into the street to keep him
from bidding. It also so happened that the young lady was
a very influential, but very ugly, sister. After repeated
nods, winks and expostulations in pantomime, the auc
tioneer was compelled to knock the young lady down for
twenty-five cents. The young lady put on her hat - and
went home in a buff. She broke oft with her lover, and,
in attempting to use a dirk on several of the male mem-
bers ol the congregation, the lover found himself in the
city lock-up.
IMail Bobbers in Custody.
New Orleans, April 19.—A special dispatch to the
Times from Dallas, Texas, says Special Agent Foster of
the Dost Office Department has passed through that place
on his way to Austin, having in hiscustodv Jack Sterrett,
B. G. Jones and A. B. Long, committed in'defnult of bail
by the I rated States commissioner at Fort Worth for
robbing the mail coaches between Fort Worth and Yuma.
Sterret is a son of the Hon. Robert Sterrett of the Ken-
tueky legislature! Jontx is from St. Louis, where he
filled a positiojjfof homjkmd trust, and Long is a prom
inent hotel man of Forrworth.
‘Niggers” in Natal.
The following is an extract from an English woman’s
letter: "A few days ago one of my sister’s Kaffir men
was very imprudent. He was outside doing something,
and when my sister told him to come in he would not,
but stood staring at her. She called him three or four
times, hilt he would not come, so she told him she would
get a whip to him, when all of a sudden he bolted, and
mv sister and myself ran after him tocateh him. I caught
him by the shirt", and iust as we were going ’round the
cow shed (there was a very high rose hedge at the back)
he pulled from me and was over it like a shot. Then
my sister told him she would send a policeman after him.
at "which he was rather frightened and soon came back,
but would not come in the house. So my sister ran up to
him and caught him by his (wool, dragged him up the
steps into the kitchen and whipped him. He snatched
the whip from her and tried to break it. There happened
to be a rolling-pin close at hand, so Mary took it and
gave him two or three knoeks over the head. Ever since
that he has worked wonderfully well. You would have
roared with laughter had you seen all.especially seeing us
both running down the garden after him as hard as ever
we could and the way Mary dragged him into the house by
his’wool. We were all alone at the time, as papa and
my brothers were out.
A Chinese Ship Stranded in the Sierra Na
vada Mountains.
A report Comes from the Sierra Nevada Mountains of
the discovery of the timbers of a stranded vessel, resemb
ling those of a Chinese junk, high up in the mountains,
between Mineral King and the head waters of King’s
river. The sound portion of the timbers resemble cam
phor wood, and, it is said, still retains a faint smell. The
lastenings are of copper; the rigging, etc., are, of course,
all gone. A number of hones, supposed to be human,
were also found in the vicinity, and upon the adjacent
slopes there is abundant evidence of the previous occu
pation of the waters, in the shape of shells, as well as the
occasional finding of petrified fish. That this valley has
at one time been an inland sea is admitted by geologists,
but that these waters were navigated by celestial seamen
one or two thousand years ago has never been claimed,
even by the Chinese themselves. But these same people
do claim to have been the original discoverers of this
country, and this find seems to give color to the claim.
It has also been claimed by them that vessels of theirs
have been wrecked on this coast, and that portions of the
crew have returned to China.
Fire and Explosion in a Coal Mine.
San Francisco, April 19.—A Victoria dispatch says:
Tuesday morning a fire was discovered in No. 10 level,
Wellington coal mine, at Departure Bay. It was -sup
posed to have been extinguished on the following day,
and on Thursday morning, when twenty-five or thirty
miners entered the level to resume work, an explosion
occurred, blowing the working of the level into ruins,
killing eleven men and injuring others seriously. Three
Chinamen are still in working, but there is no "hope for
them. Volunteers who entered the level in the after
noon report the foul air so strong that they cannot re
main below for any length of time.
The level will have to be flooded, as the mine is on fire
in that vicinity. The Vancouver Coal Company’s men
have stopped work and gone to the rescue. The scene at
the pits was heart-rending: wives and children weeping
for husbands and fathers, and parent* for children.
Whippedintojjyjj^ghimfor a Son-in-Law.
. The Madison Journal, an esteemed Wisconsin contem
porary, in the number number just received tells of a
young man of Mazomainie who’was so objectionable to
the father of the girl that the father kicked him out into
the road. Later in the day the Mazomainie vouth found
the cruel parent at work in a lanyard. He w alked boldlv
m, addressed the tanners, stating the facts in the case
and pitched at the old man. After a terrible scuffle the
cruel parent begged to be let up. “Will you take me for
a son-in-law, then, dog-rot ye?” inquired the youth.
■•Acs,’ said the old man, and that same evening the hero
led forth his bride.

Number Forty-One.
“Nan the Newsboy,” Gilbert Long and Edward Kelly,
while in their life-saving station, at pier 28 East River,
vesterdav heard a cry from a man w ho fell overboard
from a stone scow moored near by. They jumped into
the river and saw that he had been drawn by the tide
under the pier. On account of his position among the
spiles the man was rescued with great difficulty. He was
taken to the station, where he said his name was Thomas
Carroll. This is the forty-first person saved by Nan and
his comrades. One of the life-savers wore the suit of blue
S ilot cloth which had been given to them by Captain
oyton and this was ruined by the salt water.
Big Fire in Nevada.
San Francisco, Cai... April 19.—A fire at Eureka, Ne
vada. last night and this morning, destroyed half of the
town, including the heaviest business houses, hotels,
newspaper offices, telegraph office, the Masonic Building
and a great number of dwellings. Three hundred fam
ilies are destitute and two thousand people are without
shelter. A relief committee has been organized. The
loss is roughly estimated at $1,000,COO.
Desperadoes in Wyoming Territory.
On the night of the 17th inst. horse thieves entered the
house of Mr. Foster, one of the oldest settlers, near Fort
Kearney. The desperadoes hung Mr. Foster by the neck
nntil be was nearly dead, in order to compel him to dis
close the whereabouts of a large amount of money which
he was supposed to have. Foster refused to give them
the information, and was unconscious when they let him
down. He revived, and was again hung, as he still per
sisted in his resusal. The thieves then ransacked his
house, and took all his bedding and thirteen dollars in
money, the savings of his children. They also took his
horses,^three in number.
Trial of Six Murderers.
Lebanon, Pa., April 19.—In the trial of the six con
spirators to-day. eharged with the murder of Joseph Ra-
ber in December last, to obtain the insurance on his life,
Mrs. Peters, a daughter of Charles Drew, (one of the pris
oners.) was examined. She corroborated the testimony
of her husband, Owen, yesterday. She also testified that
Brandt, another of the prisoners, had reproached Raber
with the accusation that she prevented the prisoner
(Stickler) from drowning Raber previous to his actual
murder, and that he (Brandt) insisted upon Raber being
killed before December 10, as the insurances would lapse
on that day, the conspirators being unable to pay the
premiums thereafter.
ITT he Knights of Pythias have had a grand celebration
and picnic at Shreveport. They were rash enough to
venture on offering a gold medal to the handsomest baby
in the baby show. No one hurt.
It is probable that the trial of Currie, the murderer of
the actor Ben C. Porter, will take place in the lalter part
of next mouth or the early part of June. Currie’s broth
er,, the Mayor of Shrevepert, and two other able Texas
lawyers will act as counsel for the defense. There were
no practical results from the meeting of the profession in
New 1 ork, on Thursday, towards organizing to asstst the
Texas Prosecutor. General Roger A. Prvor, of Brooklvn,
has, however, consented to assist in the prosecution. ‘ It
is estimated that it will cost $8,000 to defray the expenses
of witnesses and counsel. John T. Raymond is ready to
hand over 11 illiam Astor’s check for $500 and his own for
$100 more as soon as a treasurer of the prosecuting fund
shall be appointed. Other subscriptions have been made.
Wavelets from the Bay.
Easier in lirnnswick.—A Georgeons Tribute
of Flowers. — Benniifnl ceremonies.
St. Mark’s is one of the most beautiful churches
in Georgia. It is built iu gothic style and of our
native woods, so we take a just pride in showing it
to strangers. The chancel window is beautiful in
its rich and harmonious blending of color. It is a
memorial window to the late Col. P. M. Nigh tin
gale of Dungeness—in life a most zealous and de
voted member of St. Mark’s Church.
On Ea-ter morning, as, entering the church we
hear the inspiring hymn sung by choir and congre
gation, “Christ the Lord is risen to-day,” our hearts
too, rise and swell with the organ on a tide of ex
ulrant song. Although we come from the perfume
laden sunlight without, our eyes are fairly dazed
by the blaze of color the chancel presents. Gor
geous lillies, with crimson and golden cups, stately
callas: great clusters of burning scarlet geraniums,
interspersed with verbenas arbutus, flowers rare
ami common, of every hue, tint and perfume, too
numerous to mention. All against a back ground
of soft grey moss brightened by the delicate green
of ferns, shaded by dark, glossy leaves of magnolia
and enlivened bv rich foliage plants glowing in
bronze a d purple green and gold; and over and
above all, the queen of flowers—the rose. Roses red.
and gold, and purple, pink and white, of every
shade and variety from gorgeous Giant of Battles to
saintly La Marque and creamy Marechale Neil.
The eye rested with a positive sense of relief upon
the great grey cross with irs passionless calla lillies
standing in the center of the chancel—or looking up
reposed on the letters also, forming the words, “He
is Risen.” Both of these beautiful symbols'were the
offering, I am told, of two Northern ladies, en route
from Florida, visiting Mr. Dunn.
The music, every one said, “was beautiful.” Be
ing an ‘ interested party,” I can only bear testimo
ny to the effect ive and delightful rendering of parts
by three of the singers—the bass and tenor solos
and the trio in the Te Deum (Thomas in “G”) were
very good. The Rev. Mr. Lucas, (formerly of Ath
ens) the well-beloved rector of St. Mark’s, address
ed an earnest sermon to a crowded and attentive
church. In the afternoon, before four o’clock, the
“little lambs of the Fold” had gathered about the
church impatiently surrounding their shepherd,
who is a great favorite with his little flock. Soon
the bell peals out its ringing “come and sing,”
“come and pray.” Suddenly, as though they had
been veritable sprites or angels, every white robed
little maid and merry lad disappeared mysteriously
and quickly. Eere we have time to wonder “where
to ?” the doors either side the chancel open as it
were to the summons of the trumpet, as the organ,
supported by the on-rushing children, bursts out in
the grand hymn of “Onward Christian Soldiers.’’Led
by a young man bearing a large cross of flowers,
they stream in s ng ng right well and bravely with
the clear, penetrating voice of childhood. "I can
hardly take my eyes from the fresh, young faces, as
they file past the organ, long enough to glance at
the banners which mark the division of the classes.
Many a shy nod and pleasant smile they give me in
their march down the middle aisle, which they
nearly fill; then the Cre p d is recited, the Gospel
read, the prayers said, and a short address is made
by the good Rector. After which. Misses B—and
N— to whom is due' much praise for loving train
ing of the children, began the hymn, “In the Vine
yard of our Father,” during the singing of which,
each class sends by two of its members its banner
or symbol and its offering. Two young men re
ceive them at the chancel and give them to Mr.
Lucas, who, after reading aloud the name of the
class and its motto, places the offering on the Com
munion table and the banner against the Rail.
The banners were very beautiful. I will mention
those I can recall. One was in purple and gold,
“The Children of the Kingdom;” one, red and gold,
“Jewels of the Lord;” on a blue field shone a beau
tiful St. John’s Lamb, copied from our chancel
window by one of the teachers—this with a silver
fringe formed the appropriate banner of “The
Lambs of the Fold,” and sweetly looked the two
dear little girls who shyly presented it. Equally
pretty were the others, “The brittle gleaners,” with
waving sheaves of rice and grain-*-“The Laborers
in the Vineyard” with clusters of white and pur
ple grapes: “The Reapers” witijjiickle and^beaf of
wheat—“The Little Missionaries/* and “Soldiers of
the Cross,” besides many offerings carried up by
sunny locked little lambies, who were too wee to
march in the ranks and yet would show “I’se
C(hr)ist little lamb too.”
The children’s offering amounted to $75—quite a
sum when it is remembered it is principally made
by their own efforts and in many cases is the direct
fruit of self-denials, very hard for little folks to
voluntarily bear for six long weeks. With the
blessing of our pastor, and much congratulation
amongst ourselves we turned our faces homeward.
I have heard that some of the bishops are begin
ning to object to the observance of this beautiful
festival. If it is true, I solemnly enter my protest
against such a needless curtailment of all beauty
and joy in our observances. The fear of Ritualism
and the excess of pomp and ceremony, is well
enough, unless carried to the other extreme. For
bid candles by daylight, and pictures and rich vest
ments and acolytes, and genuflections and chanted
prayers if you will, but over our simple Commun
ion tables let the symbol of our faith, the Cross,
which comforted our fathers and mothers, remain,
and leave us our flowers—those ministering spirits
of God, which He has scattered so freely broadcast
oyer His fo< tstool, the green earth, that not a bar
ren rock, a lovely isle, an arid desert or snowy A1
pine height, but sends from quivering blade or
dewy . flower its fragrant incense, its odorous
praise to “Our Risen Lord.” Yours truly,
Yellow Jessamine.
Nothing can be more painful to the feelings of a
minister when he comes to water his flock than to
find that many of them are not at the well.
Be thankful for past mercies, before you plead
for new favors : this is the way to plead success
fully : he that offereth praise glorifleth God.

Death of Mrs. Rousby,
Tbe Career of a Notable English Actress and
Beautiful Woman Ended.
A di-ipatch from London announces the death
>f Mrs Ronsby, the actress. Her career npon
che stage has been a notable one, opening as it did
with a series of brilliant success- s and ending
now under the shadow of heavy clouds. Mrs.
Rousby was born on the Isle of Wight, her
mother t6ing a native of Wales and her father
an Irishman, Dr. Dowse, for many years Gen
eral Inspector of Hospitals under the British
Government. Having resigned this position
Dr. Bowse settled at Plymouth, England, and
gratified his taste for the drama by constant
ittendance at the theatres. His daughter, then
a most beautiful woman of about 20, naturally
accompanied him, and in 1868 she fell in love
with a young actor named Rousby. The next
year they were married and the husband became
his wife’s tutor, under whose eye, not long after,
s ! :e made her debut on the stage as Cordelia in
King Lear.’ This was on the Island of Jersey,
she succeeded so well that she went, not
iong after, to London, where she made her first
appearance in Dtcemler, 1869, at the Q leen's
Theatre, as the heroine in ‘The Fool’s Rivenge.’
She at once ottracted attention and admiration,
more by her wonderful beauty than by any
special geDins as an actress, thongh in some
parts, and notably as the Princess Elizabeth in
Tom Taylor's ‘Twixt Axe and Crown,’ she dis
played considerable originality. Early in 1875
she came to this country and played a success
ful engagement, and this seems to hare been
the culmination of her career. It was not loig
after her return before scandal began to be busy
with her name, she was aepearted from her hus
band, her acting began to depreci.te and she
last challenged pnblio attention a few months
ago by bringing an actor, Mr. Banomann, into
court on the charge of assaulting her, only to
have him swear that she got the injuries by a
fall from her horse while drnnk. Thus sadly
ends the life of one of tbe most beautiful ac
tresses of her generation.
The underlying cause of poor prayer-meetings, is
that the pastor has nothing in his head, and the
people have nothing in their hearts.
During last year 1800 members of the Sunday
schools joined the churches in Illinois.
Of the 38 added to the Presbyterian Church in
Sacramento, Cal., March 2d, eight were Chinamen.
The “Bishop’s Fund” of the M. E. Church is re
ported to be in debt to the Book Concern to the
amount of $ 104,000.
Dr. Lovick Pierce the father of Methodism in the
South, was ninety-five years old on the 24th of
March. He is still in good health and preaches
occasianally.
