REUGIOts NOTES. Utah reports 20 Evangelical ministers in that territory. The First Presbyterian church of St. Louis has juet paid the last of a heavy dVjbt. No man knows the highest happiness of life until be fcnows the happiness of giving. He is the only rich man ia the world who has learned to be content with what he hes. The greand around St. Rial's cathedral in London is to be laid out s a public garden. If 50m sweep your own doorsteps clean, yon wilt have little trine to criticise those of your neighbor. In there were 870 Baptists in the State of Delaware. There are now 1,815, being an increase of 837. Fifty young men of Elgin, 111., have pledged the support of a Karen student at xhe Chicago University. A bright daughter of Eev. Samuel Wye4 off, Presbyterian pastor at Lake City, Minn., -was recently drowned. Many a man who feels himself great among little people would find himself little if he were among great people. The Protestant F.piscopal church, rectory and school house at Tallahassee, Fia., were destroyed by fire on the 29 th ult. Among the 1!) who nnited with the church in Amherst, Mass., the first Sabbath in the year were a Japanese and an Armenian. Even the most religious man, who would ecorn to worship an idol, takes a peculiar delight in being worshiped as an idol himself. The Italian minister of public worship has said in the Senate that the Government would pursue a policy of moderation toward the pope. Bishop Merrill, of the Methobist church, has appointed Rev. C. W- Drees, now in Mexico, to the superintendency of ail Methodist mifssoaa in that country. Tbe Catholic Mirror announces the fact that Pope lieo has honored Mr. P.-V. Hickey, the accomplished editor of the Catholic Hsview, by bestowing ou him the title of cayaliere. A Crawford, Ohio, correspondent wants Mffle educated Christian to answer this ouestion: Why did the Christian era begin when Jesus was four years old? Why not at His birth? The bishop of London has refused to allow fresh proceedings to be taken apaiDgt Kev. A. H. Mackonochie, pending the hearing of the appeal against tne judgment ot the lord chief justice. About $20,000 has been received in volun tary subscriptions for building a church In Berlin, to be called a "Church of Thanks, to commemorate the escape of the emperor from the assassin. A Jewish rabbi in St. Louis invited the Second Baptist society (whose church was lately-burned) to hold service in his synagogue. The offer was accepted and the Lord's supper celebrated there. Dr. Reynolds claims that S3 per cent, of the 210,000 men who put on the red ribbon in Michigan, during his temperance campaign two year ago, are still true to the pledge, and that 26,000 have been converted to Christ. Mr. Edward Kimball stated last Sunday at the Park Congregational cburcb, Brooklyn, whode debt of $16 000 he enabled them to raise, that within the past two years he had assisted 70 churched in removing an aggregate of over $2,000,000 of debt. The Reformed Episcopal synod of Chicago met last week and petitioned tbe general council to base representation in it on synods, not individual parishes. It also admitted to membership Trinity church, Indianapolis, and several Wisconsin churches. The receipts of tbe bazaar held as a testimonial of Mr. Spurgeon's pastorate ot 25 years amounted to 2,600 during the four days it was held. As over 2.000 was raised in advance, it is probable that the whoie proposed amount of 5,000 will be secured. January 30 was observed as a day of prayer of colleges. Many of the colleges now cooperate in the effort to advance the spiritual interests of tbe students through a thoroughly organized Christian association, or college department of the Young Men's Christian -Association. Such interest was manifested in the daily union prayer meeting In the Young Men's -Christian Association Hall, of Richmond, Va., that the city pastors determined to continue the meetings. Last week the hall was not large enough to hold the crowds anxious to gain adniusion. FASHION NOTES. Boas are much worn by young girls. -Oriental designs for jewelry are still popular. . Mantel lambrequins are made of macreme lace. Bridal slippers are ornamented with pearl bead buckles. With white satin slippers, silk stockings of strong colors are worn. Soft sheer muslins are most used for a haby's first short clothes. A gilded horseshoe, beautifully painted, is found in nearly every parlor and library. Muffj cf the drees material or of its trimmings ara made by modistes to match costumes. A large satin bow with an oatritch tip falling on the back is what is termed an opera "bonnet." A novelty in bVautifnl ribbons is plain gros grain ribbon with flowers marked with gold threads. Black satin slippers have just now the precedence of kid slippers in fashionable consideration. - Sleeve buttons, with Japanese figures traced and in relief, are in the list of novel ties In jewelry. Maroon .and Bordeaux-colored silk and Lisle thread stockings are the most recent novelties in hosiery. Imitation feather trimmings made of colored musiinsare used for ornamenting inexpensive ball dresses. The majority of ball toilets for this winter -will be of heavy goods and rare msgnifi-

cence; plain satin with deep white or bltcX lace, or embroidered with fcilk in Tailotu colors. T.l; urn wpurinu far the street tnrh.l

made of cloth or silk, with bands of me. j These are hnunea wiin goia tajteis. Ornaments for the dress and hrjrr are of South American humming-birds a .ad batterflies, with wings of gold and silv OT gauza. The lucky horse boos has '.lecoroe a wedding guest; in wedding invi .atioas the cards admitting guests to the church are made in the fchape of a horse sb'j. It is considered decidedly bad taste at an afternoon wedding for ushers and groomsmen to appear in full dress when the groom wears an Englifyv walking-coat. An unique, bonnet is in the shape of a Persian turba-v and ia made of ciel-blue satan and silk, with blue silk tassels at the end of the pie je that falls over tbe back. The Camarro fichu is exceedingly stylish; it ij made of fine Breton lace and crepe line, s id ia worn with an open dress. The jabot with which it terminates is fastened slightly to one side. Among the many handsome materials in troduced this winter, there is none so popu lar as Pekin, which is a name given to velvets, silks and woolens which have alternate dull and lustrous strips. Luxurious and elegant robes de cbambre are of India silk, wadded with eider down, uuilted in squares and finished with a re versed collar and reversed .cuffs of a bright color, matched in the heavy cord which girdle the waist. Grenadine veils for wintery days are chosen in color to match the costume; olive ereen and dark maroon red grenadine are the novelties, also beii-e co'ors. The pref erence, however, still continues for dark blue and green veiU. The low prices at which cashmeres are now held, and their adaptability to graceful drapery effects very sensibly encourage their use lor evening wear, n or young gins, pie rose-color, ciel-blue, and, indeed, all the del icate tints are in popular consideration. There is an effort to do away with basque bodices for young ladies, and to revive the pointed bodices of a few years ago, and also tbe short, round Josephine bodice, with or without a very wide belt. The round bodice is called the First Empire corsage. Transparent sleeves are much worn with dresses ot thick materials, and this is a con venient fashion for those who have black velvet or satin toilete. as a variety can be produced by inserting long sleeves made either of Breton lace and white net, or cl black Brussels net and white lace. The dienifUd Chan Lin Pin, Chinese em basHdor, wore at the White House reception the other day an underskirt of maroon silk with an overdress of dark brooade, the text ure of which was brightened by a mixture of gold thread. Tbis gorgeous dress was com pleted fcy a fur lined silk overgarment. basin-shaped hat, and an able, diplomatic expression upon his wise and handsome fice The newest hats for young girls in their tf ens are of felt, high crowned, with square tops, trimmed with three rows of inch-wide ribbon in bands placed quite far apart around tbe crown. The brims roll in Uerbv shape. Other felt hats have a vcarf of brown or navy blue satin with white polka dots. Pale-pink moire, combined with silk of the same color, is very popular for young ladies' evening dresses. Only a little satin appears on such dresses as re vera and pip ings. The favorite and the most youthful trim ruined are white passementerie of nun gled chenille, pearl-beads, and silver threads, and quantities ot inexpensive white-lace. New opera ecerfs, for winding round the . hair and throat with evening dress, are of lace, three yards long, and more than half a yard wide. They are made in Spanish and Duchesse laces, and sometimes in round point. Thoe of the Duchesse or round point niav be usee; to make an evening boanet, which is little more than an Alsacan bow of this wide lace. The newest opera cloaks for covering en tirely the evening dress are of thick yet soft and fine camel's bair, made as long and large as a water-proof cloak or an ulster. They have a hood and square Hungarian sleeves. Some of the handsomest are of black camel's bair with passementerie of old gold beads; they protect and conceal the dress like a domino, and are very warm. Loohiiic Vp tile Tower of London. Few persons are aware of the strictness wi'.h which tbe Tower of London is guarded from the foes without and from treachery within. The ceremony of Bbutting it up every night continues to be as solemn and as rigidly precautionary as if the French invasion were actually afoot. Immediately after "tattoo" all strangers are expelled ; and, the gates enca closed, nothing short of such imperative necessity as fire or sudden illness can prccare their being reopened till the appointed hour next morning. The ceremony of locking up is very ancient, curious and stately. A few minutes before the clock strikes the hour of 11 on Tuesday and Fridays, 12 the head warden (yeoman porter) clothed , in a long , red cloak, bearing in his hand a huge bunch of keys, and attended by a brother warden, carrying a gigantic lantern appears in the main guard house, ana culls out in a loud voice, "Escort keys!" At these words the sergeant of the guard, with five or six men, turns out and follows him to the "Spur," or outer gate; each sentry challenging as they pass the post, "Who goes there?" "Key." The gate being carefully . locked and barred the warden wearing a solemn aspect, and making as much noise as possible the procession returns, the sentries ' exacting the same explanation, and receiving the same answer as before. Arrived once more in front of the main guard, the sentry there gives a loud stamp with his foot, and the following conversation takes place between him and the approaching party: "Who goes there" "Keys." "Whose keys?" "Queen Victoria's keys." i ; "Advance, Queen Victoria's keys, and all's well." The yeoman porter then exclaims: "God bless Queen Victoria!" Th main guard devoutly respond: - "Amen!" The officer on duty gives the word, "Present arms!" The firelocks rattle, the officer kisses the hilt of bis sword, the escort fall in among their companions, and the yeoman porter marches majestically across the parade alone, to deposit the keys in the lieutenant's lodgings. The ceremony over, r vt only is all egress and ingress totally precluded, but even within the walls no one can stir without being furnished with the countersign; and any one who, unhappily forgetful, ventures from bis quarters unprovided with his talisman, is sure to be made the prey of the first sentinel whose post he crosses. Tbe Reanl So Far. Springfleld Republican. The Republican bosses who trade- in stolen telegrams were not men to scruple at political crime, and it will be remembered that the Field committee of the House and Morton committee of tbe Senate, in 1377. came to an agreement that neither the party dispatches nor the bank accounts should be used or investigated. Of course there are thingj to hide on both sides. Bat the Republicans subsequently literally stole a march on the otoer fellows. It was not a creditable victory for the party of "moral ideas," nor is it to tbe honor of tbe administration that Thief Bullock represents the American people at Cologne.

THE EARLY VEGETABLES.

Wlierd N8W York's From. Supply Comes Tbe Woderfnl Variety and Abnndant or tne Market Prices Wnlcn Some Brlnar Luxuries of Wealthy Plant. Sew York Tlmea. That there are no markets in the world equal to the markets ot this city is a favorite boast of New Yorkers. That the market buildings are not referred to in making this boast is evident to any one getting a ghmpsj of the ancient barn-like structures, digni fied by the names of 'Washington and Fulton markets, but that wonderful variety and abundance of food products -of half the world, which are displayed in these forlorn looking buildings, are what the boast refers to is at once evident to any one who makes a tour through them. The quantity of meat will surprise him, but the variety of fruits and vegetables will astonish him still more. At all seasons he will find a variety of vege tables unknown to any other market in the world, and find them, too, months in ad vance of their regular seasaus, for the peo ple of this city will have and are willing to pay for rare vegetables, juat as they seek after the rarest fruits, flowers and a hundred other luxuries. Of the early vegetables which reach the New York markets some of the very first to arrive do not come from the far South, as one would naturally suppose, but from the far North. Rhubarb, the first of the vegeta bles, is sent here in January from the farm of Colonel Rhodes, near Quebec There it is raised in dark galleries 20 feet under ground, and heated by steam. The rhubarb grown in these galleries is very large, very tender, and almost white. For shipment each stalk is carefully wrapped in soft paper, and they are put in bundles weighing two and onehalf pounds. Ia this market it can only be procured in one stand, and there it sells for $3 per dozen bunches. By toe 1st of Marcn rhubarb comes in from Jamaica, Long Island, that brings SI 50 a bunch. Many of of the Brussels' sprouts now in the market also comes from Canada, the remainder being from Shelter Island. Cucumbers, of which the delicate little white pine variety came to this market from Voston as early as tbe 10th of last month sold here for $ per dozen at wholesale. They now bring half that price. This year, for the hrst time, a few very early cucum bers were lent m Iroin uraveiend, L.on Island, but thfv were so inferior to the White Pines that thr.y only brought $3 50 per dozen. By tae middle of next month the long Worcester cucumbers from Wor cester, Mass., will be la the market, and will bring $3.50 per dozan. For 15 yehrs New Yori has received its bnest lettuce, or salad, as the marketman call it, from Boston, and, "for the last three days, there has not been a head of Boston lettuce in the market, the first time such a thing has happened since the supply began to come from mat quarter. Tbe Boston lettuce is very white, crisp, and well beaded, and market gardener in other parts of the country try in vain to imitate it. A very few years aero a Jamaica, Long Island, gardener sent to Boston for men who knew the business and told them to raise Boston lettuce on his farm at any ex pense of money or care. They tried, but without success." Radi.bes are now in the market, and sell at from $3 to $5 per hundred bunches, eight being in a bunch, Formerly, a'l the radishes, long and round came from Boston, but during the past few years New Jersey has been sending in round radishes, until now Boston sends on only few of the long and more delicato variety. Tomatoes were in the market as early as the 15th of November, but the demand for them was very slight. The first this season cam from Nassau, wrapped in soft paper, and packed in crates. Tbe Bermuda tomatoes will begiu to arrive early in February. Ber muila potatoes will be here next week, but thev will be old crop potatoes, and will sell for $5 to $7 per barrel. The new Bermuda potatoes will arrive by the 1st of March, and will be worth Sz per barrel more than tn earlier arrivals. As high as $17 per barrel has been paid in Washington market for the first new Bermuda potatoes. Oalons come in from Bermuda with the potatoes, and fell for $5 per crate. Fancy prices are also sometimes paid for these, and $10 per crate was piid last year for the very first in the market. Bermuda beets will arrive about tbe last of February, and will retail at from 5 to 10 cents apiece. Bermuda formerly sent cucumbers to this city, but they were always yellow and old by the time they reached herd, and none will come this year. Last year, the first asparagus came to this city from South Carolina, in February, and tbe same firm will probably have it as early this year; but, generally, the first comes from Florida early in March. Shipments then arrive from Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk. Baltimore, New Jersey, and from Oyster Bay, Long Island, whence it issent in about the 1st of May. The earliest asparagus sells at $1.15 per bunch, and the first Ojster Bay "grass," which is the finest of alt, always sells for $1 per bunch. By the 1st of June it is In abundance and sails for $1.75 per dozen bunches. Last yearafewboxes weresentdown from Canada, but the experiment was a failure. A few peas were sent to this market from New Orleans three weeks ago, but there was no demand for them. Tberegular supply will begin to arrive next week from Lake City, Fla., and will bring about $10 per crate. These crates nominally bold a bushel, but really contain about three pecks. Of the very first peas half a dozen restaurateurs will buy a crate together, divide the contents, and display them in their show windows, while feeding their customers on ranned peas, which they sell as fresh. The finest tl the early peas come In April, from Anne Arundel county, Md., and in May the best peas to be had in the New York market reach it from Long Island. After that they come from the Northern part of the State. A very few boxes were sent from the neighborhood of Sacramento, Cal., in salmon cars last year, but they were not good when they arrived, and, as the result of repeated experiments, California shippers no longer attempt to supply this city with any vegetable except cauliflower. The first string beans come from Florida about two weeks later than peas. Lima beans are never sent from the South, and the earliest and best come from Hackensack, N. J. Early turnips are sent to New York from as far South as Charleston, and came, with the peas and string beans. The great eonrce of the caul. flower supply is Mattituck, Long Island, whence the vegetable comes from the lat of September to the 1st of February, the supply being at times as great as 700 barrels per day. Prices range all the way from 50 cents to $14 per barrel, and are very fluctuating. The cauliflower that comes after that from Mattituck is from France, and the next French steamship that arrives will probably have the first foreign cauliflower of this reason on board. Ai:r the French comes tbe California cauliflower, packed on top of tbe fish in salmon cars. A few yean' ago much of tbe cauliflower came from Boston, but now Boston obtains ber supply trom New York. With the cauliflower from France comes the French, or Burr, artichokes. The New Orleans variety of the same vegetable Is now in tbe market They bring at wholesale $0 per dozen. Jerusalem, or root, artichokes come

from Long Island and New Jersey, and sell I for $2 and $3 per bushel. Okra, or gumbo, as it is called in the South, is now in the

market from Aew Orleans, and sells for $1 per hundred. In its season, most of the okra comes from Phalanx, N. J. Spinach is always in the market, and much of tbe best comes lrorn the vicinny ot jbimore. It now brings $3 rer bar- ! rel, and will, during the year, ba as low as CO cents per barrel. One old dealer in the market remembers paying as high as $15 per barrel to nil an order at a time when spinach was very scarce. One of the large hotels of this city canned 100 barrels of spinach last fall when it was selling at $L per barrel. It has kept well, and, as an experiment, is a success. Winter squashes used to come to this city from Boston, but now almost the whole of Boston's supply is drawn from Long Island. Marrow squashes come to New York from Norfolk about the lat of May, and summer squashes come from Florida with the string beans, or about two weeks later than the first peas. Among the fresh vegetables always in the market are mushrooms, which are raised everywhere in cellars, underground, galleries dug for the purpose, and under glass. Iney even come from Canada, but not in quantities, as they command higher prices there than here. Here they sell now from 50 to o cents per pound. The above list comprises most of the vegetables to be seen in tbe markets of this city during the winter and early spring when fresh vegetables are luxuries, but a second list nearly as long as the first might be mada of those that arrive iroiu southern and foreign ports during the summer months, forced in their growth to meet the demands of those New Yorkers who are ever on tbe lookout for novelties and delica cies for their tables. OSLT FOR FIX. II ow a Romantic 9Iaasachnetts Girl Keen red a Hnsband. Springfleld Dispatch to Boston Herald. J A sewing girl in this city has had a roman tic experience which is worth the telling. Several months ago a man at Dubuque, ia.. advertised in an eastern Massachusetts paper for a wife. Among a swarm of answers which he received were two from two girls in this city, who replied juet for the fun of tbe thing. Ooe of them was my heroine, who represented herself as a young widow. and whose lively account of herself and ber circumstances was very largely fictitious, especially that which told (very incident ally, as if it was of no consequence) of tbe snug sum of money lett her by the dear departed. .She never expected to hear of the matter again, but that was ths one letter out of all the advertiser received which struck his fancy. He wrote to the supposed "widow" (who, in fact, had never been married, and was then earning her living with her needle); photographs were exchanged: the letters grew more and more affectionate, until tbe vounz woman, realizing that tbe affair wag no longer a joke, wrote to her new found admirer and told bira frankly of ber humble circumstances. Of courrse he ad mired her thn all the more, and at last he came from Dubuque to this city to claim her for bis bride. Instead cf the s'.ick and intelligent looking and niaaly individual whom sue had expected from his letter and his photograph, what was ber vexation to see a person ol decidedly seedy appearance. wearing an old slouch hat. and appearing al together unattractive. Well, she relused him, and he, chiding her bitterly for so doing, after all tbe pains he bad taken to win ber, returned alone to lows, l tuppote he hadn't left the house before she was sorry sach is the flfxible character of female affection and it is certainly true thtt she was sorry, indeed, before he had put a thousand miles between them. lie wrote no more, but the distressed young woman wrote, or got friends to write, to the pastor of the church he attended, and to various persons in Dubuque, to find out what rort of a man this was something she ought to have thought of in the Erst place. The replies were uniformly complimentary, and everyone only increased her regret that she, a poor sewing girl, had refused a "good match." Didn't fche hope, though, that be would bear of the inquiries that she was making, and reopen the correspondence with her. But never a word from him, and at last she swallowed her pride, reopened the correspondence herself, and told him bow she had misjudged him, and how lorry she was that she had. Promptly came a manly reply, from which she discovered that when be visited her here he had intentionally made himself unattractive from a romantic notion that she ought to take hi in for what be was, and not for what he wore. Of course they got married, and the poor se wi ng girl ha- for a husband one of the leading citizens of Dubuque, and her home is one of tbe finest mansions in Dubuque. This true story ought to have a moral of tbe negative sort namely, that young girls are not to infer from it that it is safe for tbem to answer matrimonial advertisements, for, where one case is of a sort like this, a happy issue, there are ten which lead to unhappiness or something a great deal worse. Fashionable Women. Exchange. Fashion kills more women than toil or sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a much greater transgression of the laws of woman's nature, a greater injury .to her physical and mental constitution, than poverty and neglect. The slave woman at her task will live and grow old, and see two or thrse generations of ber mistresses fade and pass away. The washerwoman, with scares a ray of hoc-e to cheer her in her toils, will live to see her fashionable sisters die all around ber. The kitchen maid is hearty and strong, when her lady has to be nursed like a baby. It is truth that fashion-pampered women are all but useless for all the ends of human life. They have but little force of character; they have still less of moral will, and quite as little of physical energy. They live for no great purpose in life; they accomplish do worthy enda They are only doll forms in the hands of milliners and servants, to be dressed and fed to order. They dress nobody and save nobody. They write no books; they set no rich examples of woman or womanly life. It they rear children, servants and nurses do all, save to conceive and give them birth; and when reared, what are they? Whrft do they ever amount to but weak scions of the old stock? Who ever heard of a fashionable woman's child exhibiting any virtue or power of mind for which it became eminent? Bead the biographies of our greet and good men and women. Not one of tbem bad a fashionable mother. They nearly all sprang from strong minded women, who had about as little to do with fashion as with the changing clouds. How to Bender a Bnrglar Harmles. An American of 45, named Alfred Tuckey, armed himself with a pistol, a jimmy and a bottle of chloroform, and entered the house of Bev. L. A. Sharpe, of Tackley, England, an old man of 72, whose wife found him under the bed and said, "Come out, D17 boy, come out." He came out, and the old man throttled and held him down till the servants came up and tied him, one of them, with great presence of mind, pouring half a gallon of water over the burg'.ar'a pistol, which, nevertheless, went oft" and wounded the footman. Tbe prisoner said he was educated at Rugby. Edlson'a New IJctat, Edison has perfected his electric light, but he ad mils that it requires cheapening. His light will be about 15 candle-power tbat is, about the same intensity as a bright gaslight. It will, however, be whiter, a.id show everything in its natural color. He eays tbat proper generators and lamps have yet to be invented. which will be accomplished within a year. Meanwhile, French electricians are rapidly improving tbeir electric lights, and promise to distance the American inventor.

BRILLIANT BILLIARDS.

Tin Host Kignificant Gama on Record. J aeob Schaefer tbe Champion of A merles The Largest Rao and Highest Average Ever Hade. New Yoek. Feb. 7. The greatest game of billiards ever played in the United States was playd this evening, when George Sloeson, of Chicago, and Jacob Schaefer, of St Louis, met in Cooper Institute to contest for the first and second prizes of the international tournament for the billiard championship of the world. The immense hall was packed to tbe doors, and over 300 ladies were among the audience. When the players appeared they were loudly applauded. Slosson's umpire was William Sexton, and Schaefer had for his friend E. D. Dayis, the pedestrian. Slosson won the lead and scored 15, Schaefer following with 12. In the second inning Slosson ran 0, and Schaefer missed. In the third inning Slosson missed, and Schaefer made 1. In the fourth inning . Slosson got the balls on the right rail, and, by the most delecate play, ran 71, missing on a difficult drive masse. Schaefer followed with 4. and the fourth inning closed with the score stand. Ing: Slosson, 95; Schaefer, 14. In the fifth inning Slosson missed, and Schaefer made but 5, leaving the count 05 for Slosson to 19 for Schaefer. At this time the balls were split at opposite corners. But Slosson, by a clear draw shot, brought them together in the lower left-hand corner, aud gradually worked them up the rail. The click, click of tbe balls continued for 25 minutes without interruption, and at its close Slosson had performed the greatest feat in billiardseveraccomplished in this country. Hundred by hundred were added to Slosson's count, until he mused a bank shot, and Mr. Ellis, the mark er, announced that Slosson had run in one inning 4il caroms, the greatest run on record, Schaefer's score of 429, in St. Louis, being heretofore the greatest on record. At tbe conclusion of tbe ran Slosson was cheered by the audience, and tbe young lady to whom he is engaged waved her handkerchief from the platform. Schaefer, nothing daunted, picked up his cue and began to play. After a series of 23 beautiful round-the-table shots, he gathered the balls in the lsfc upper corner, aud by a bank shot got them ou the rail. Carom after carom was counted, and still the balls kept rolling. Oace, twice around the table they went, and finally froze on i he 238th shot, and the player missed the break shot. This made the score 302 for Schaefer. against 550 for Slo-son, acd bets of $100 against $10 were rrelv Riven on Slosson. ButS'.csion only made 12 on his next play, and left the oalls up for Schaefer, who, bv three shots, two draw and a follow, git them on tbe rail. Shot after shot he counted, while the excitement momentarily grew more intense as he n eared the close of 29$ caroms, which he wanted for tbe game. Eyen old professional billiard players lost their coolness and joined in the applause. He ran 20S on the rail, and became the champion. It is universally admitted that such a magnificent game of billiards was never played in this country. The score stood: Scaaefer, 000; Sloscon, 571. Highes. runs: Slosson. 4(H; Schaefer, 2!3. Winner's average, ho 5 7, the highest on record, and tbe loser's average, 81 4 7. Time of game 2 hours and 15 minutes. How Lous; at II 01c ) le without Food lltlinca Journal. On the 2d day of January, 1879, Mr. Cornelias H. Seiri:ig, Kewfield's commissioner of highways, missed from his hog house a six months' old sboat weighing about 100 pounds. The aiam&l having access to a BmaU yard outside, he (Mr. Sebrir.g) bad no doubt tiiat the shoat had found means of escape and had wandered off. He accordiaglymada inquiries among his neighbors for his lost pig, bat no trjee of the p rker caul d be found. He gave up the huut, end roaJe calculations that be was out "one pig." Thus the matter ended, and nobo3y was aware of the whereabouts of Mr. I'ig until 2C days after ils disappearance, (tbe2j(-.bof January). Oa tbis day Cornelius and his brother happened in tbe pen, and hearing a strange noise coming up from under the lloor, out of cariosity they instituted a search to learn from whence it "came, and to the surprise of the two brothers, the lost pig was there found hidden away under the pen, where it had remained since its disappearance 20 days before. Upon investigating how tbe pig had become imprisoned they found it had squetzsd through under the sill of the pen, and there had remained without food or drink until its discovery by its owner. Tbe Messrs. Sebring remarked that the pig was somewhat emaciated and when set at liberty "went a little . i-ck-kneed," but was ready for its rations, au uon tbe whole, not much the worse for its ion 'ast.
