Of the 940 professors in the nine universities of Prussia, 82 teach Protestant and 25 Catholic theology. Last month 208 Boss Ian Mennonites left Toronto for Manitoba, making a total of 1.325 families and 7,383 persons who have gone to that region. Rev. Dr. Peter Akers, the well-known Methodist pioneer in the West, is expecting soon to celebrate his ninetieth birthday, and to preach a sermon on the occasion. At the recent meeting of a Wesleyan conference in England it was resolved that candidates for ordination should be asked: "Do yon take snuff, tobacco or drams?" The Christian Intelligencer thinks the morality advanced by Herbert Spencer does not differ from, nor is it one whit in advance of, that to be found in the philosophies of Greece and Borne, and ia that of Confucius. It is equally without power. The Advance first congratulates itself upon the fact that the "several gentlemen prominently connected with the Northern Pacific railroad" are Congregationalism, and then makes the startling addition, "We are not disposed to make too much of it." Key. Stephen H. Tynj;, Jr., D. D.. at the advice of his physician, has decided to take a foreign trip, and sailed on the Algeria. Since his recovery from severe illness he has taken a three months' cruise along the Maine coast in a yacht, but still eeds rest and recreation. The authorities and people of Camunas, Spain, seem to have resolved to rid the town ol all religious teachers. They put the priest to flight by their threats, and sought to drive out the Protestant pastor, Mr. Astray , He told them if he died he would die at his post, and refused to quit the town. At last accounts excitement ran high. In Borne was recently ordained a colored priest, who was formerly a slave. He has suffered many indignities, an 1 an Italian lady learning bis condition and character, purchased him and gave him his freedom. He was then sent to the Propaganda, and his ordination la the result. His field of work is Abyssinia, where he has been sent to labor among his own people. The twenty-third annual conference of the United Methodist Free Churches of England was held in London August 7; 120 ministers and 80 laymen were present, and Bev. T. Townsbend, of Oldham, was elected president. Soring the past year the denomination has lost by removals, by death and by withdrawals 9,144 members; but large gains have reduced the losses to 406. Bishop Huntington, of Central New York, has a farm in Hadley, Mass., which he makes his smmme; resort. The region is devoted to the culture of tobacco, but no plant of it has ever, it is said, tainted his paternal acres. When urged to go into the culture of it, he replied: "God made this soil to yield something that will nourish man or beast, and, without sitting in judgment on my neighbors, I choose to follow the Maker's plan." Those of the Methodist conferences which meet in the first half of the year some 36 show some gains. They have 4,925 traveling preachers, increase 81; communicants, 78,442, increase 2,776; local preachers, 5,438, increase 60; Sunday-schools, 8.013, increase 156: Sunday-school scholars, 692.457, increase 14,866. There wag a decrease of 997 baptisms of children and 6,070 of adults. The churches have increased by 162. The collec, tions for missions amounted to $240,801showing a decrease of nearly $17,000. The Episcopal diocese of Pennsylvania reports the following statistics: Number of parishes. 124; clergy, 201; candidates for orders, 28; baptiems during the last conven tional year, 3,599, of which 549 were adult; confirmations, l,oo; communicants added, 1,886; removed or died, 937; present number of communicant, 23,387; Sunday-school teachers, 2,683; Sunday-school scholars, 26,231; teachers of Bible classes, 210: scholars in Bible classes. 5,964; number of churches and chapels, 137, containing 64,265 sittings. Not alone the Baptist denominational papers, but the Presbyterian, Methodist and Roman Catholic comment upon the recent shooting of Dr. I. 8 iiallocn in San Fran cisco. The Baptist Weekly characterizes Ds Tonne as a cowardly assassin, but at the same time condemns, both on political and religious erounds, the style of Dr. Kalloch's reply. "Vicious retaliation," it says, "ill becomes one who professes to preach the Gospel of Christ. It would have'been wiser for him to have defended himself and to have avoided the severe and offensive personalities by which his adversary was en' raged." SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP. A honse in the avenue De Clichy, Paris, was lately struck by lightning, which first followed a water-pipe to the earth, and then reasoended to the fourth story. M. E. Heck el has discovered trichinae in great abundance in a young hippopotamus which bad been brought from Egypt, and which lived for some months in the ZMiogi cal gardens at Marseilles. A solution of chloride of magnesium Is preferable to water for filling gas meters. There is no appreciable loss by evaporation freezing is practically impossible, and the gas is freed from ammonia. A writer in Les Mondes proposes this treament of rabies: "The tongue and inside of the animal mouth is nrst well cleansed with a wet brush. The same parts are then treated with a solution of caripagero resin and alcohol of 86 per cent, strength. Lastly the mouth is washed thoroughly with a litre of water containing 100 grammes of ammo The quantity "of ' illuminating gas con sumed in London, per head of the popula tion. Is rapidly increasing, in looa the quantity burned was 9,885 857.000 of cubic feet for a population of 3.158 671, or at the rate of a little more than 3,000 cubic feet per head. Last year the quantity used was

16,293,528,000 of cubio feet, or at the rat of more than 4,500 cubio feet per bead, the population in the middle of 1878 being 3.577,304. In nine years the ratio has thus risen about 60 per cent. The London gas companies use 4,700 tons of coal a day. Their capital in 1869 was 7,828,844, and last year it was 12,232,514. Beans are good for food in every situation, specially at sea, because the seeds are living, and the phosphates contained in them are in a more or lees soluble condition. If beans are hard, dry, and incapable of germinating, their phosphates will need to be rendered soluble by citric acid or some other available agent, otherwise the system will be insufficiently supported with nutri ment. v The British Medical Journal remarks that during the last time the plague was epidemic at YeUjanka, Buesia, not a single case occurred among the Kalmucks, who lived not very far from that place. This fact ia aarpnsiog, as the Kalmucks live totally re gardlecs of sanitary rules. Their religion does not permit them to eat any flesh except that of animals which are fonnd dead; they do not bury the bodies of persons who die, out simply throw them into the fields; and in person they are far from being scru Sulously clean. The conclusion seems to e that anti-hygienic conditions alone do not produce the plague, and that there is some other agent to which this disease is really due. M. Coulon, the conservator of the Industrial musenm, of Bouen, has. says the Nature, discovered a new system for transforming sound into light, which phenomenon has been the subject of a lecture by M. Frank Gerald y with the Gower telephone. Two Geissler tnbes are put in quick rotation on an axis. The Buhmkorf coll of the first is worked by an ordinary interrupter, and gives the deviation of a lumineus cross. The interrupter of the second is replaced by a telephone. The figure presented by the second tube projects on the first one, which

is colored by uranoxlde glass, and exhibits the most rapid changes, according to the height of the note delivered in the telephone trumpet. The sensibility of the changes is startling and most interesting. A passage in a lecture delivered by Mr. Strahan, on the barometer and its uses, before the Meteorological society, London, has given birth to an important suggestion which is thus Bet forth by a writer in the Nature: A substantial advance may be made in the system of British weather fore casting, by some central authority in America receiving by telegraph extracts from the logs of all vessels directly they arrive at Atlantic ports, by the aid of which warn ings may be framed and wired to Europe of such storms as may appear to threaten its coasts. Ia this connection, he also says, it is not possible to overestimate the importance of a telegraph wire to Faroe and Iceland, by which warnings of many storms there seen approaching European coasts could be issued one or two days earlier, at least, than at present. The received opinion that a vein of coal simply represents a massof vegetation, which has been changed directly into that sub stance, is opposed by M. Fremy. Some time ago he adopted a synthetic method to dis cover the real secret of the manner in which coal was produced, and his experiments appear to show that while fiber could not be converted into anything resembling coal, certain substances of vegetable origin, such as sugar, starch, gum vasculese, etc., did admit of that conversion. An artificial coal made of these latter materials yielded gas, tar, water and coke, just like ordinary pit ceaL Gum, inclosed with water in a sealed tube, and subjected to heat, was changed into a coal containing; 78 per cent, of carbon, 5 per cent, of hydrogen, and 16 per cent, of oxygen. His conclusions are that coal is not the direct result ol vegetable substances; that the impressions of plants sometimes found in it have been produced after the modification was established, and that there are two stages in its formation, the first consisting of a fermentation of peat, and the second of the transformation of allnio acid into a mineral fuel, under the joint action of beat and pressure. CURRENCY. "I nebber breaks a colt afore he's old eaough to trahbel ; I nebber digs my taters till dey's plenty big to graooie; An "when yon sees me risln' to 'struotlfy In meetin', I's fust climb np de knowledge tree and done some appie-eaun ." Gents whose families are of town are called straw widowers. Darwin enjoys hunting his ancestors with a shot-gun. Detroit Free Press. Kentucky raises mules. The mules are not ungrateful, and they raise Kentuckians. If you do not want to be robbed of your good name, don't have it printed on your umbrella. Josh Billings says there is no perfect sub stitute for wisdom, bat silence is the best yet discovered. How can a woman be set down as "aban doned" when every man in the community seeks her society. A young man in Jersey City was urged to marry, but he replied, 1 don t see it My father was a single man. and he always rot along well enough." In matters of courtship there is but one bigger and sicklier fool on the top of the earth than a widow of 30 to 50, and that fool is a widower ot 30 to 50. Alchohol will clean out the inside of an inkstand. It will a a clean out the inude of a pocket-book quicker and more thoroughly than anything else on record. A mule's head does not contain a brain capable of culture and refined rearing, bat it is wonderful to wbat extent the other end of his form can be reared. A farmer whose son was a clerk in New York wrote to his employer, asking "if there was anything in the boy." "les," be replied, "just after he baa been to a saloon." "When I die," said an editor to his better half, "I want to go where there are no more fires to make." She cheer: ally replied that she presumed he undoubtedly would, "Jane," said he, "I think if you were to lift your feet away from the nre, we might have some heat in the room." And they hadn't been married two years either. "What are you about?" angrily said country editor to ais wile, who was touching up ber complexion Defore the mirror. "Only getting up my patent outside, dear," was the reply. - Milton was asked by a friend if he would instruct bis daughter in the languages.

Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, the earth below and heaven above, but it never sewed a gray patch in the seat of your husband's black trowsers. mat isn't loveit's revenge. , "A man who'd maliciously set fir to a barn," said old Eider Bach, "and burn np all the horses and cows, ought to be kickd to death by a jackass; and I'd like to be the one to doit.". An Irish musician, who indulges in a glass too much, was accosted by a gentleman with, "Pat what makes your face so red?" "Och, your honor, it always makes me blush to spake to a gintlemau." A man passing through a gateway in the dark ran against the post. "I wish that poet was in the lower regions," was his remark. "Better wish it was somewhere else," said a bystander, "You msght run against it again." i

SWELL THIKTBS DC SCXHHB.

A Mulberry Street Detective Classifies the Criminal Fraternity aa Met at Watering T1arroe Ssw Terk World. "Tell me something about the habits of the swell' thieves in the summer time?" said a World reporter yesterday to a Mulberry street detective. "They devote the summer to recreative and prospective' work that is, studying the bearings and acquainting themselves with the resources of the places which they propose to attack when a favorable opportunity presents itself. They seldom stop long in one place. They can be met one day in Saratoga and the next at Newport, Long Branch, Cape May, or doing the Canadian tour, all the time having an eye to business and spending their leisure moments in gambling dens. . "The swell pickpockets migrate with consistent regularity at the approach of summer to the watering places, put up at the most fashionable hotels, and carry on their business as opportunity affords. Tbe swell pickpocket seldom gets caught. He generally travels with a companion, to whom ne passes whatever he snatches, and should the finger of suspicion be pointed at him he assumes an air of virtuous innocence and wounded dignity which is amusing to behold, and offers, it may be in the most plausible manner possible, to show up, if necessary. Even if he is searched, nothing is found on him, and unless he is really caught in the act he can not be held The light-fingered gentry are always in swarms at horse-races, fairs, conventions and camp-meetings, and, indeed, wherever there is a big crowd. They ply their trade with persistency and an energy worthy of a better cause. "What do they do with their spoils?" "All nrorjertv besides cash which thev manage to lay their hands on tbey send to the city, where agents receive it and convert it into cash the best way they can. I he hotel and boarding-house thioves who make their head-quarters in the city are the dread of every watering-place in the summer. They live in grand style, drink the most expensive wines, smoke the most expensive cigars and drive in the gayest available coaches. Groups of them may be seen night ly in the corridors of the Saratoga hotels. They are easily recognized, but not so easily gotten rid of. Their restless manner gives them away, but the hotel detectives, as long as they have nothing against them and they have no certainty beyond appearances that they are crooked, can not safely interfere with them. They are watched. The detective forces at the hotels and watering-places have to bo reinforced in the summer to watch these guests, and a pretty hard time they have of it. In a day the thieves fiad out all about the guests, how much money or jewelry they are likely to have in their rooms, and when they go to their meals they invade their apartments and carry away whatever of value they can lay their hands on. The buaco, faro and three-card-monte men spend the summer traveling on the cars trying to 'rope in' countrymen. They reap a rich harvest, for the average countryman is the easiest being in the world to impose upon. The sneak-thieves remain in the city in the sum mer, and so do a low class of burglars, looking for a favorable opportunity to get into a vacant house. "Your swell thiof is generally an educated. well-dressed, respectable-looking, high-toned 'centloman.' He lives well, spends money lavishly wben he has it, and industrously cultivates the friendship of the wealthy and refined. 11 is demeanor is so pleasant, his outward code of morals so apparently strict. and his dealings with his fellow-men when it suits him, so seemingly straightforward, that to the uninitiated he appears to be the very paragon of honesty and the embodiment of an mat is noDie ana virtuous in unniiuuu. That class of thieves are the most dangerous in the community. They are hardest to detect in the act of committing a crime, and their tracks are so skillfully covered that after the perpretration of enme it is difficult either to catch them or to trace any of the stolen property. The swell thieves live in fine style inthecitvdunnirtne winter, aoine an occa sional job as their necessities require. In the summer they go to the watering-places everywhere in fact where there is a probability of being a crowd. They may be classlhied as follows: .Burglars, picKpocKets, confidence man bunco-steerers, faro and three card-monte men, hotel and boarding house thieves, and sneak thieves. "Nearly all the first-class burglars belong to the 'swell' class. Education is necessary to make a really good, reliable, level-headed and ettective burglar, lake the most lam ous burglars now in prison and at large in this country the Hopes, Brady, Dobbs, Learv. Irvine, and Porter, for instance. They are all men of brains, and would have probably succeeded at any trade or proiession they might have chosen. They are re garded as first-class men by the tneiving fraternity; for they are cool, daring, and merciless when any one crosses their path while they are cracking a bank or plunderins a house. In the summer time the swell burglars cease from active labor. The dark ness of the night.is an essential element ot success in their profession. It is during tbe long, dark winter nights that thy prowl about with all their vigor and misguided enthusiasm, and under cover of night commit their depredations. "The haunts of criminals in this city," the old detective continued, "are distributed all over. You will find men who live by their wits and by dishonesty in Fifth avenue boarding houses and hotels, and you will find them in the slums of the Fourth ward. By far the sweater number of those who do the work planned by others live a miserable existence. Their dread of State prison forces them to keep out of sight as much as possible, while those s well' thieves who do the brain work and supply the funds for a job, lead a life of luxury and comfort, unsuspected by their neighbors." A Canning Expedient. There is a fable among the Hindoos that a thief, having been detected and condemned to die, happily hit on an expedient which gave him hope of life. He sent for his jailor and told him a secret of great importance which he desired him to impart to tbe king, and when this had been done he would be prepared to die. After receiving this piece of intelligence, tbe king at once ordered tbe culprit to be conducted to his presence, and demanded of him to know his secret. The culprit replied that he knew the secret of causing a tree to grow which would bear fruit of pure gold. The experiment might be easily tried, and his majesty would not lose the opportunity. The king accompanied by his prime minister, his courtiers and his chief priest, went with the thief to a spot elected near the city wall; where the latter performed a series of solemn incantations. This done, tbe condemned man produced piece of gold, and declared that if it should be planted, it would produce a tree, every branch of which would bear gold. "But," he added, "this must be put into the ground by a band that has never been stained by a dishonest act. My hand is not clean; tberelore l pass it to yuur majesty." ' The king took toe piece of gold, but hesi tated. Finally he said, "I remember, in my younger days, that often filched money from my father' treasury

which was not mine. I have repented of the

sin, Dut yet l hardly dare to sav mv hand is ciean. i pass it to my prime minuter. . i ... . -. - The prime minister, after a brief consider ation, answered,"It were a pity to break the charm through possible blunder. I receive taxes from the people, and, as I am exposed to a great many temptations, how can I be sure that I have always been perfectly honest? I must give it to tne governor of the citadel." "No, nol" cried the governor, drawing Dack. "Remember that 1 have the serving out of pay and provisions to the soldiers. Get the high priest to plant it." xne priest said: "You forget that I have the collectine of tunes; and tbe disbursements for sacrifices. I he thief exclaimed at length. "Your majesty, I think it were better for society that all five of us should be hanged, since it appears that not an honest man can be found among any of us. In spite of the lamentable exposure, the king laughed; and so pleased was he with the thief s cunning expedient that he at once granted mm a pardon. A FATAL THUNDER-BOLT. Killing of Four Persons by a 3troke of Lightning. Cnbj (Minn.) Newt. Sunday afternoon, about half past 7 o'clock two of Mr. Le Suer's children, aged six and five, came walking into town, bringing the startling news that their father, mother, two little sisters, a little girl of William Dricken's, of Fountain, D. T and Will Date had all been killed by "the wind hitting them." The alarm was soon given, and immediately men on foot and with teams started out in search, previously knowing that the family were on their way homeward from Mr. William Paddock's, living 10 or 12 miles north of town. A severe rain-storm, accompanied by terrific peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning, had passed over town from the north during the latter part of the afternoon, and it was apparent to all that they had been struck with lightning. There are two welltraveled roads leading into town, in one of which they were expected to be found. One party, Mr. Mosier and Mr. Henretty, after driving about two miles and a half from town, stopped to make inquiries at Mrs. Nubson's house, where they were informed that "a wagon load of the dead had just been sent to Uanby by Andrew Hirickson. At this house was one of the ill-fated number, Will Date, who, after lying for some time in an uncon scious state by the roadside, scrambled threequarters of a mile to this house and gave the alarm. The light wagon containing tbe bodies of Mrs. Le Suer, her two-year old child and the body of BosaDricken was found soath of the creek near this house, and brought into town about 10 o'clock. The appearance of the corpses was ghastly indeed, all occupying a sitting posture on the seat on which they were sitting when they received the deathdealing shock. In the meantime, knowing that all the family had not been found, Mr. Mosier and Mr. Henretty proceeded to the creek where the light wagon had been found, and while there he heard the cries of a child, and soon after the groans of some one in terrible agony ; going in the direction of these sounds they found Mr. Le Suer lying on his face about two or three feet from the side of the road. While these gentlemen were taking Mr. Le Suer to the house, another party arrived at the bouse, and then they all returned to the creek, and hearing the cries of the child some distance from tbe road, proceeded thence, finding the little three-year-old boy of Mr. Le Suer lying in the grass. What could have been the feelings of that little one alone upon the cold, wet prairie, under the circum stances, with hardly a moonbeam to dispel the total darkness, can be better imagined than described. While this party were taking care of the little one a third party had started out on the other road, had made the circuit, and, from an opposite direction from that the other two parties had arrived, they found Mr. Le Suer's dog dead in tbe road, about a quarter of a mile north of the creek where the bodies had previously been found; and 15 feet further on from where the dog lay, they found the lifeless form of the infant girl about two feet from the roadside, probably having been thrown there when its mother was struck. As has been previously stated, the light wagon containing the corpses was found on the south side of the creek, at which place one of the horses was found dead, fully a quarter of a mile from where the infant and dog lay. It is the general supposition, and it seems plausible, that one of the horses had received a part of the bolt, and ran thus far before life became extinct. At the time of the casualty, as has subsequently been ascertained, Mr. Le Suer was on the right side of the front seat driving, and Will Date was sitting at his left, with the three little boys that escaped uninjured sitting in front of them under the buffalo robe. Mrs. Le Suer was sitting on the right side of the second seat holding her infant in her lap, and carrying over her left shoulder a metallic pointed sunshade; immediately at her left sat her two-year girl, Mabel; at the end of the seat Kosa lmckens was sitting. It is evident from the appearance of the corpse that Mrs. Le Suer received the greatest part day of the shock. The sunshade she used that had steel ribs covered with silk, and it is thought by many that the electric fluid passed down these ribs, striking Mr. uate nrst on his right shoulder and Mr. Le Suer on his left shoulder, and so on to the seat, partly melting tbe iron bolt, and then down to the ground across tbe axle ot tne wr.gon. The Power of a Sweet Vole. There is no power of love so hard to get and keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the work of a soft heart, and do it with a soil touch. But there is nothing that love so much needs as a sweet voice to tell wbat it means and feels; and it is bard to get and keep it in the right tone. One must start in youth, and be on the watch night and day, at work and play, to get and keep a voice that shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. But this is the time when a sharp voice is most apt to be got. You often bear boys and girls say words at play with a quick, sharp tone, as if it were the snap of a whip. When on of them gets vexed you will hear a voice that that sounds as if it wore made of a snarl, a whine and a bark. Such a voice often speaks worse than tbe heart feels. It shows more ill-will in tbe tone than in the words. It is ofteu in youth that one gets a voice or tone tbat is sharp, and : sticks to him through life, and nt'.rs up ill-will and grief, and fall, like a drop of gall on the sweet joys at home. Such as these get a sharp home voice for use, and keep their best voice ft those tbey meet elsewhere, just as they would ave their best cakes and pies for guests, and all- their sour food for their own board. . I would say to all boys and girls: "Use your guests voice at home. Watch it day by day, as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is a joy like a lark's song to a hearth and home. It is to tbe heart what light is to the eye. It is a light that sings as well as shines. Train it to sweet tones, and it will continue in tune through life."

aSTAUX XDHITTIFICATIOV.

A Lady Bntere tha Brooklya Morgue While Her Friends are Weeping Over Her Sup posed Remains. Hew Tork H.rald.J A very remarkable case of mistaken iden tification was brought to light at the morgue in urooKiyn. Ten years ago it seems (Jolonel Nagle, a well-known Fenian, died, leaving a widow, Mrs. Sarah Nagle, but no children. It is said that Mrs. Nagle, who is now 45 years of age, was addicted to the use of liq uor. On Tuesday morning last, as reported in yesterdays Herald, the body of a woman was found in the river, near the Atlantic dock. Deceased, who was about 45 vears of age, wore a black alpaca dress, white under garments, laced shoes, and in her pocket were found a whiskey flask and 15 cents. The re mains were taken to tbe morgue, and in the evening an old lady and a middle-need wo man canea and askea to tee tne body. They were given a desciption of the deceased, and said that it corresponded with the woman they were looking for, though they did not give the name of the person. On seeing the corpse the younger woman remarked that it was the person whom they had supposed it would be. - Her companion did not look at the corpse. On Wednesday forenoon several well-dressed women called at tne morgue and said they were from New York. They identified the body and said to the keeper that she was well connected, but they would not give her name. ihe same day Mr. George Wade of South Portland avenue visited the morgue and said that the deceased was Mrs. Sarah Nagle, a widow; that he had paid her board from week to week, and that he had given her more money than she was entitled to. Alter he had taken bis departure Keeper McGuire was informed bv nersons who said they knew her, that Mrs. Nagle was not dead. On Friday morning he ascertained that she was stopping at Mrs, Ja.cJU.ahon s house in Navy street. He did not, however, apprise Mr. Wade of this discovery. Yesterday morning several women visted the morgue and wept over the remains. Coroner Simms had, in the meantime, taken Mr. Wade s affi davit and those of several women who iden tilled deceased. The former recognized her chiefly by a scar or other mark on the forehead. He was summoned before the coroner's jury about 2 oclock in the afternoon while the undertaker was in waiting without, and he reiterated his identification. A LITTLK SURPRISE. "Well, then," said the coroner, "come out here and we will fix it up." Coroner Simms then conducted Mr. Wade to the front office of the dead-house, where the real Mrs. Nagle was seated in company with a female friend Mr. Wade threw up his hands and exclaimed. My God I what s going to become of met Mrs. JNaele arose from her chair and said in a loud tone of voice, "Well, I don't blame yoa. A few words of explanation followed, in which she stated that Mr. Wade had in his Dossession of $1 6.000 of her estate. She then left the morgue in company with him and her female companion. The undertaker was turned away and an inquest held on the body of the unknown woman which was then interred at the expense ol the county. Mr. Wade was visited by a reporter last evening and said tbat be bad been well ac quainted with Mrs. Nagle's parents. Her maiden name was Taggart, and they resided in Willow street, Brooklyn Heights. Her father was nuite wealthv. Sarah. Mr. Wade said, was a spoiled child, and when she came to womanhood married Colonel Nagle, who went to Ireland in command of a f enian expedition. The party was arrested, and all its members confined in prison lor a long time. The colonel after a few years received a pardon and was allowed to return to this country. He had been here but a short time however, when he died. Mr. Wade said urther. that upon his own return from Europe he found her in poor circumstances. and knowing that she was entitled to some money, brought suit against a relative to re cover, m this he succeeded, but her money became exhausted about two years ago, and he has since continued to pay her board rather than have her become a charge upon the county. He bad another judgement of $3,000 against the relative, but was unable to collect it, as the defendant was without means. After the discovery made yesterday he accompanied her to one of her former residences, and, after furnishing her with some money, returned home. Fastings Hard on the heels of essays treating on the evil of over-eating comes one which discusses the opposite error. A large list might be made out of eminent men who have died from not eating luncheon. Pitt ruined him self by long fasts while immersed in politi cal anairs, oblivious to all else. If the ma chine is not kept well oiled it will surely run down. VV hen we see men long past middle life able to cope with those in their prime, we may rest assured that they have not been negligent of their physical needs. Pitt died at 47. Byron, who played tricks with his health, at sb. aimers ton, who began o racial life nearly as young as Pitt, but played a noble knife and fork, died in harness at 80, and rode 20 miles the day of his death. And as for Bismarck s appetite, he takes extraor dinary care of it either in peace or in war. Nature is revengetul, and those who win not take the trouble to please her may rest assured that they will always have to pay the penalty. One Species at Rudeness, Too many people who pride themselves upon their good breeding, think nothing of interrupting a conversation, une oegins to relate an incident, and before he has finished two sentences some parrot in fine clothes chimes in with her senseless gabble, breaking the thread of discourse and compelling the narrator to begin again or abandon the attempt to instruct or entertain. This is the grossest impoliteness; but it is as common an occurrence as conversation itself. It is hard ly to much to say that nine out of every ten ieople who indulge in this habit are incapable of carrying on a rational conversation on anv useful topic, and they indulge in these breaches of etiauette by way ot covering tneir retreat and hiding their ignorance, Never interrupt a conversation oy interjecting remarks, however appropriate and witty they may seem. Then all sensible people will re spect you, and conclude tbat you have good neme. and know bow to use it to tne oesi advantage.
