Mr. Becclier oil Sunday Observa¬ tion ami the Nomination A reporter of the Brooklyn interviewed Mr. Beecher on Saturday last at his Peekskill home. Am mg other topics Mr. Beecher was asked: “What is a good way for a man to spend Sunday ?” “It depends something on the man. You take one who is housed up all the week and he should enjoy himself one day at least. lie should go chinch in the morning because the in fluence of the church is elevating, it rounds him up to better thoughts. The balance ot the day he should de Vote to amusing himself in rational, quiet way. Let him take his family and go to the country and enjoy himself. God don’t ask any better worship than that, and where can a man worship better than in God’s own church, which you will *"'dtrrfly-mi examination, to ha moatJy. pjit doors ? I don’t believe in a fellow going out with the b’hovs and making himself a nuisance, because I don’t believe in that on any day, but let a man go out and recreate Sunday as he would Saturday or any other day, for whatever is right at any time is right on Sunday.” “But some men think they can do better than going to church at all.” “Then, let ’em do it. li there is anything belter than an hour in church, just, do that thing. I don’t believe in driving people to church. 1 have the greatest regard for the Subbath as an institution elevating the morality ot the country and giving space for thought and religious service, should esteem its abolition as destine live to modern civilization. theless I utterly resist all ing and inlluences that attempt make it a despotic day I would men to observance and make it so lightful to children that they assume it to be the best day of whole week.

The tenant of a bouse on street who was way behind cn his was some days since ordered to and then he put his imagination work to invent excuses to remain in the house. He first had bis wife fall sick and thereby got a week, Then he was taken with the chills, and got in four days more. Then he got two days in which to hunt another house, and terday when an officer went there ’he key he found the man dying. least his wife said such was the and she acted like one greatly tressed in mind. '’This is very sudden,” remarked nonplussed officer. “Very sudden, sir. He had just to me that we would begin after dinner, when he dropped to floor arid he has been lying in a ever since. The doctor says he never rally again.” “Can I see him ?” “Oh, yes, but please don’t above a whisper.” She led the way to the There lay the unconscious man, somehow he didn’t look as a sick should, and his breath 1 ad a smell of whisky. The officer felt of pulse and made up his mind that was a game to beat the court. therefore began : “Well, Mrs. Blank, I you. In a few more hours you will rid of him forever. He is a loafer and a hard drinker, and but this he would have died in State son.” The wife opened her eyes in ishment, and the officer continued : “I’ll leave word with the as I go down. Any sort of a box will do, or may be they’ll haul him out iho commons. It’s of no what becomes of these old soakers. will he a happy woman wheu the galoot goes up the spout.” At this point the dying man rose np, took a cool survey of the officer quietly observed: “Sir, you are no gentleman ! No, sir, you are not! I’m no soaker or loafer, and I want you to understand that I’m able to have as decent a ral as you can. You can take your old house and go to bangs with it for all of me.

Bible Names. —The old fancy for giving a child a Bible name has caused some curious things in nomenclature, ever since the time of Cromwell and his Puritans with a whole Scripture verse tor a name. A little child in England, whose father was named Lees, named Telli.o, his father’s felling lira that this was a name. In the broad pronunciation of the lower classes of Lancashire name of Tellno Lees was largely gestive of truthfulness.

General Hancoc ", in personal pearance, is fall, well formed and very handsome. His ceight cannot he less Gian six feet two inches, and he weighs {| iUy two hundred and forty pounus. Ge will ma.\e tne finest looking 1 resi ^ent whoever satin the White House, except., possibly, George Washington, His form towers above other men, and he attracts attention by his mere looks wherever he goes. His eyes aie blue, and have a benignant and mild ex pression when in repose, but inspiring when in danger. His manner is dign - fled and knightly, and be is courtes) itself. He is always magnetic, and draws men to him by his kindness and general interest in their affairs. rJ is i sympathies are easily aroused, and he becomes intensely concerned for the sorrows and misfortunes oi otheis, striviog in every way to relieve them, as though their troubles were his Hancock's kindness to his always won not only their love, b UT also their confidence, and caused them to rely on Litn as a friend ps well commander. Ho gave a man a good opinion of himself, and made each one ieel he Was of more itODortance than he ever before suspected. It was this which caused him to have such power over his officers and men in battle, and made them prefpr rather to die than forfeit their good opinion of their lead er. General Hancock had two children, Russell Hancock and Ada Elizabeth Hancock. The latter died in New York, of typhoid fever, when 18 of age. She was a young lady of great promise. Russell Hancock, the Gener ai’s only son, is living and is a planter in Mississippi. A volume would not contain an ac count of all the heioic deeds of a man like Hancock. A glorious so'dier, steadfast friend, a useful citizen, he is all that is noble, manly and brave in poor fallen humanity. Thousands up on thousands of his old soldiers will gladly vote for him, and almost every citizen in the land will thins tw : ce be tore refusing his suffrage to such a can didate as Wiufield Scott Hancock, the patriotic soldier, accomplished gentle man, consummate general and fair minded statesman. Don’t Tell. A woman isn’t obliged to ■*******-*», tell tfer age iu Prussia, according to a recent decision of the Appeal Court at Metz. A lady there, when courted by a man, accepted him, allowing him to think she was six years younger than she really was. When the wed¬ ding came off, she would have to re¬ duce the official certificate oflier birth, so she altered it to make it agree with her previous assertion to her lover. In some process of red tape the forgery was detected by a clerk, and the was arrested for falsifying a public do cumont, tried, convicted and sentence to three months’ imprisonment, She appealed, and the Superior Couri re fused to reverse the sentence, judge declaring that the defendant did not intend to commit an illegal act. but was probably actuated merely by female vanity. Now, ladies, treasure up this fact A woman’s age has thus oeou officially declared to be her own property.

English spies who penetrated into Norman camp before the battle of tings brought hack word that the mans jj were Harold mostly priests and U g S . laughed and said j piiests would prove good ruen of Jt seems that the habit of j shaving the face thus prevailed j the Normans, while even the j 0 f the English court wore a ri d the less fashionable people did not shave at all. In England priests were shaved, whereas in Greek Church priests set more store their beards than did even Julian Apostate. If Peter the Great fined bearded men, our Elizabeth also money by taxing beards. It was her reign, however, that the beard clipped into as odd shapes as a boxwood bush, while the more i guished courtiers dyed their 3 a re d color. The beard was valued 20 shillings in that old English la\v which everything had a price, the thigh, if broken, could be paid by a fine of 12 shillings. Highest Tower—T he Cologne states that the towers of Cos >gne thedral are now the highest in world, the height they have attained being five feet higher than the of St. Nicholas Church in which has hitherto been the edifice. Ultimately they will be 51 feet 10 inches higher. The are given as the heights of the chief l loity buildings in the world: Cologne Cathedral, 524 feet 11 inches Irom the pavement of the clois ters, or 515 feet 1 inch from the of the church; tower of St. at Hamburg, 478 feet 1 inch; cupola ol St. Peter’s, Rome, 469 feet 2 inches; Cathedral spire at Strasburg, 465 feet inches; Pyramid of Cheops, 449 feet 5 inches; tower of St. Stephen’s, Vienna, 443 feet feet 10 inches; of St. Martin’s, Landshut, 434 feet inches; Cathedral spire at Freiburg, 410 feet 1 inch; Cathedral of Antwerp 404 feet 10 inches; Cathedral of Flor ence, 390 feet 5 inches; St. Paul’s, Loudon, 2G5 feet 1 inch; ridge of Cologne Cathedral, 3G0 feet 3 Cathedral tower at Magdeburg, feet 11 snehes; tower of the new Votive church at Vienna, 314 feet 11 inches; tower of the Rathaus at Berlin, 1 288 Uet 8 inches; and the towers Notre Dame at Paris, 232 feet 11 inches Hospitality. —The hospitality the Arabs is proverbial, though pecu¬ liar.

PRICE THREE CENTS. I’ve Got a Cancer. A young lady of Americus, we learn, recently discovered that she had a cancer growing exercised on her person and was much regarding it. She deemed her prospects for marriage lor> ever blighted should it become known, and as the cussed thing grew very fast, she left home and sought a “con jur” doctor, that he might cure it. He told her he must eee the cancer or he rould effect nothing on it. She re¬ fused to show the cancer, and confided her secret to a lady friend. “Like the ‘conjur’ man, she too, wanted to see the cancer. After some coaxing, she consented, telling her friend that ‘it is just like a full blood blister, about to burst.’ She then exhibited the cancer that was to destroy her life. The friend broke into a merry laugh, exclaiming : ‘That’s no can¬ cer.” “Ye3, it is,” said the young lady. “Oh, no; let me show you,’’ and catching hold of it she gave a jerk and pulled off a large tick that had been growing fat on the pure blood ot one of the prettiest girls of the town — Americus Republican. A strange story of the hardships of Russian captivity is related by a German engineer named Neumeyer. He was busily engaged in superintend¬ ing the construction of a new railway in the south of Russia, when, on Dec. 19 last, be saw himself surrounded by a body of police and made prisoner. On being shown a photograph por¬ trait, he innocently exclaimed: “Where have you got this picture from ? J have never had my likeness taken.” This extraordinary resemblance of his to Louis Hartmann, or rather Wolkoff —the alleged author of the Moscow attempt on the Emperor’s life—and a scar on his right hand, brought poor Neumeyer into a serious predicament. He was put in chains, taken to Mos¬ cow, submitted to a wearisome investi¬ gation, then Warsaw, dragged across the country on foot to with no nourishment other than bread, cabbage, and spoiled fish on a journey of forty-four days. After spending about six weeks more in prison on bread and water, sur¬ rounded by a low set of criminals awaiting their transportation forwarding to Sibe¬ ria, be succeeded in a letter to the Governor-General of Polade, whose brother had formerly em¬ ployed Neumeyer on his estates in Es thonia. Thanks to Count Kotzebue’s intercession, Count Loris Melikoff al¬ lowed the poor victim to return to Germany in a penniless condition, covered with vermin, and wearing the same clothes iu which he had been seized, and which had never been washed.— N.
