A Bible Coortaklp.

A young gentleman at church conceived a most sadden and violent passion for a young lady in the next pew, and felt desirouB of entering into a Oumlahip on the spot, but the place not suiting a formal declaration the exigency suggested the following plan: He politely handed his fair neighbor a Bible, open, with a pin stuck in the following text—second epistle of John, verse 5: "And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote anew commandment unto thee, but that which We had from the beginning, that we lovo one another." She returned it with the following—second chapter of Ruth, verse 10: "Then she fell on her faoe and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst take notice of me, seeing I am a stranger?" Ho returned the book, pointing to vorso 13 of the third epistle of John, "Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with papor and ink, hut I trust to come unto you and speak face to face." From the above interview the marriage took place the coming week.—Scottish American.

Who Can Answnr This ConunilramT

In the memoirs of Baron Stockmar is a note by his son, the editor of the work, in those words: "There were not wanting instances of shamelessness against which he had to defend himself. A rich Englishman, an author and member of parliament, called upon him one day and promised to give him £10,000 if he would further his petition to the queen for a peerage. Stockmar replied: 'I will now go into the next room in order to give you time. If upon my return I still find you here I shall have you turned out by the servants.

Very creditable, of course, to Stookmar, considering his circumstances and position. The incident occurred in the early forties apparently, and there were not many rich Englishmen at that period who were both

1'authors

and mem­

bers of parliament" But I am not aware that anybody has as yet identified tho would bo corrupter of the immaculate baron. Who could he have been? And did ho get his peerage in the end?—London World.

A Kentucky War Story.

An old Confederate soldier said recenth "I remember an occasion where a colored man, a body servant to General Forrest, saved his life. The general had broken two swords, and the servant rushed forward and handed him another to defend himself with. This occurred at Sacramento, a little village in McLean county, and the combat was with Jiilin Williams, the grandfather of John Mclntire, the artist, who lived in Owensboro for some tima Mr. Williams was a gallant Federal soldier, who had served in the Mexican war and made a good fight. He fought so well that General Forrest paroled him and accompanied him to his home in the neighborhood and asked his wife to bind up his wound and care for him, saying that so brave a man deserved the best of care and attention."—Owensboro (Ky.j Inquirer.

In tho early days of California the daughters of the£iugos were sought in marriage by the best families of the state. It was a boast that they were even oourted in the cradle, as when the young officer, Colonel Ignacio Vallejo, being in San Luis Obispo on the occasion of tho birth of a daughter to the Lugoa, asked her father for the hand of tho day old baby, provided when the timo came to fulfil the contract the sonorita should be willing. This seemingly ahsurd betrothal took place. Tho child grew up to be an intelligent as well as attractive young woman, married her fcotrothed and became the mother of many children, among them Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo.—Overland Monthly.

Portrait of Commodore MacDononsh.

A recent addition to the portrait gallery of the navy department is a rare old oil portrait of Commodore MacDonough, the naval hero who rendered Perry valuable assistance in fiis memorable engagements on the lakes in the war of 1812. The portrait is the work of Jarvis and is owned by one of the old families of Charleston, S. C. Assistant Secretary McAdoo saw it on a reoent visit to that city and brought it back with him to Washington with a view to its purchase by the government, as a companion piece to the portrait of Commodore Perry, now in the navy department gallery.—Washington Star.

Explosive* and Power.

Aocording to the opinion of Superintendent Barker of the arms factory at Bparkbrook, England, and a prominent expert in that line, the possibilities of the industrial use of high explosives for generating ®otive power area fit subject of study. Of the gunpowder engine he thinks only slightly, aB such an explosive merely develops in combustion about 2S0 volumes of permanent gases, while the solid residues are very considerable, soon.clogging any machine. Nevertheless one pound of gunpowder is capable of developing 170,280 foot pounds of energy. The new smokeless powders are capable of developing still higher energy and are also more under control, while giving off nearly 1,000 volumes of permanent gases and leaving no solid residue. Though the temperatures developed by all theso propellants are high, ho thinks it very possible to overcome this difficulty in tho samo way as it is done with gas engines, or even by making use of the energy of the water so employed when converted into steam. As English "cordito" develops 1,250 calories per gram tho possibilities of its employment in some form of "powder gas" engino is remarked upon as not without attractiveness to engineers of a speculative turn. Tho temperature of gunpowder on explosion is about 4,000 degrees F., and that of tho smokeless powder is believed to be considerably higher, though this has not yet been fully determined.—Now York Sun.

An Odd Can torn*

Tho oldest temperance society in the world is the abstaining commune in Achlyka, in Siberia, afl of whoso members are strict teetotalers every day in the year except one. Regularly on tho first day of September, year after year, all the adlut members of the commune assemble in tho parish church, and every one takes a solemn vow beforo the altar to drink no wino, beer or spirits "from tho morrow" of the following day for the whole year. The clause "from the morrow" is introduced in order to give them a reward for their virtues in the shape of a wholo day of drunken carnival. As soon as they leave tho church they begin to indulge in a horrible bacchanalian drinking, which continues throughout the day, until neither man nor woman in the village is sober. This is naturally followed by considerable physical suffering, and then by mental remorse, whereupon the penitent parish enters upon its twelvemonth of model sobriety, and all live like the Rechabites. Some students imagine that this queer proceeding may be a prehistoric tribal custom.

Animal Humbugs.

In military stables horses aro known to have pretended to be lame in order to avoid going to a military exercise. A chimpanzee had been fed an cake when sick. After his reoovery he often feigned ooeghing in order to procure dainties. The cuckoo, as is well known, lays its eggs in another bird's nest, and to make tho deception surer it takes away one of tho other bird's eggfc.. Animals are conscious at their deceit, shown by tho fact that they try to act secretly and noiselessly. They show a sense of guilt if detected. They take precautions in advance to avoid discovery. In some cases they manifest regret and repentanoo. Thus bees which steal hesitate often beforo and after their exploits, as if they feared punishment A naturalist describes how his monkey committed theft While he pretended to sleep the animal regarded him with hesitation and stopped every time his master moved or seemed on tho pofnt of ewakening.—London Exchange.

Turkish and Rosstan Soldiers.

Tho Turkish army is perhaps the only one in tho world which has invariably behaved better in tho field than tho peace conditions of both nation and army led critics to anticipate. Tho Russian army, so far as the war of 1877-8 is concerned, belongs undoubtedly to the category of armies which havo not fulfilled expectations.

The average Turkish soldier is physically, morally and intellectually superior to the average Russian soldier, for three reasons—first, because he is a total abstainer seoondly, because he is religious—that is, intellectually religious, whereas the Russian is ignorantly religious, i. e., superstitious thirdly, because elementary education is better in Turkey than in Russia. Theso plain facts should bo borne in mind when the next campaign beoomes imminent— "The Defense of Plevna," by W. V. Herbert

Professor Hnxley.

Professor Huxley was a man of very simple and direct manner. In the classroom he made his lectures graphic by finding illustrations for scientific truths in everyday examples, as when, in treating of animals that change their oolor, he referred to the fact that when he was tirod or nervous he fancied he was grayer than usual. He was gallant to the fair sex One of them, who attended his South Kensington lectures, asked him to introduce her to Herbert Spencer and was amused by his mock serious response, "I thought I was your first love.'' To this same lady he said, in talking about the death of-Agassiz, the news of which he had just heard. "I wonder where he is?" He made the remark in a tone of profound sadness.

Trouble In tbe Menagerie.

"You look as if you needed a hair cut," said the elephant, nosing about the lion's cage. "Before you go around making remarks about other people's appearance you'd better trim down your ears," retorted theDon, shakingbiBmana "You abow your ivories too much when you talk anyhow."—Chicago Tribune.
