The first Revision of the Xalagsy Bible has been completed after nine years labor. In London, with a population of 4,n)0,000 the number of Koman Catholics is only 1:0,(Xj0. It is stated that on the "1st of December last the number of Christians in Jaoan was CS.141.

The Christian Advocate, of Nashville, Tenn., has settled It. It says: "Where the employer is a true Christian man, just and kind, and the employes are true Christian men, ober and faithful, striking and boycotting and striking are impossible. The only radical cure for the evils of to is world is Christianity." "You attend Sunday school, do you?" inquired fiey. Mr. Smith of Nellie. "Then yoa must know a good deal alout the bible. Now tell us something nice that's in the bible here, can you?" " Yeth thir. Sis bath some dried leaves in it, a pieth of Aunt Jane's wedding-c&ke, pieth of my dreth when I was a baby, tbome hair, and Sis' fellow's picture." The Christian Union thinks "it is certain that to-day the demand is not half so much for finely educated scholars preaching to cultivated congregations as it ia for men who have come up from the people without having come away fron them, who know their lives and homes and thoughts and hearts, and who can apeak to them of their own lives and in their own language. The church is tolerably well equipped with preachers in silk gowns; what it most needs to-day is more shirt-sleeve preachers." I was told a good story the other day of the effective manner in which the iter. Mr. Burkbolder, of the United Brethren Church, quieted a few roughs. It was the reverend gentleman's first Sunday evening service here, and in the midst of his sermon he was annoyed by the uncouth actions of several of these hoodlums. Tarrying long enoagh he jointed h3 finger at them and in stentorian tores said: "Young men. I have a peculiarity, and unless you comport yourselves like gentlemen while in this boise of worship I will show you what that peculiarity is!" The .xaicister, who stands about eu feet one

There was a large attendence at Friday evening's prayer-meeting at the Blue Light tabernacle. After the exercises were over and the benediction had been pronounced, Jim Webster got up and addressed the pulpit as follows: "Parson, does you know dat dar am gwmter be a cullered 'scuxshun to Houston next Lord's day?" "I has heard so, Erudder Webster." "Well, parson, a two-third majority of this congregashun am desirous. ob desecratin' de nex' Lord's day by gwinter Houston on de 'scurshun, and as the spokesman I has to sutmit a preperjition for your considerashun." "What am dat prepersition?" "De prepersition am ter de effec' dat ef you will 'ecuse dis congregashun from 'tendin' de sarvices in de mawnin', de congregashun will 'scuse you from 'tendin' de sarvices in de ebenin'."

SOCIAL GOSSIP. The New York Academy of Sciences has had an eventful and checkered existence of sixty-nine years. Not a particle of fruit of any kind was found by a Paris chemist in a "currant jelly" which he analyzed lately. The first proclamation for public fasting and prayer in New Hampshire published in a newspaper appeared in May, 1704. In St. Petersburg there are now five or six Americans dentists. Each andsevery one has the best facilities for filling and pulling teeth "wnileyou wait." Mr. Frang, the man of artistic cards, has caught the war fever now, and is about to send out a lot of pictures showing battle scenes from Bull Bun to Appomattox. Genealogy, ancestry and pedigree are subjects quickly skated over in New York society, because they are prone to revive very unpleasant very inconsistent memories. Paul Cook, president of the French Methodist conference, and who has taken a leading part in the spread of Methodism in that country, is dead. He was the originator of French Sunday schools, and was at first the victim of much persecution by Catholic mobs. "Does a woman marrying a minister marry his whole congregation?" is the question agitating the First Baptist church of Pittsheld, Mass. The conundrum was thrown at the congregation by the preacher in the course of a sermon on gossip. The offending preacher should have given his people an easier one. The legend connected with the birth of the prince imperial is brought up again in Par s, with the rumor, mentioned in a cable dispatch, that a beautiful young girl bearing a striking resemblance to the Empress Kuemie is about to brine legal proceedings in Paris "to have herself recognized as the daughter and heir of that unhappy lady." There are many people who still believe that a tiilbertian change of babies was really affected at the Tuilenes. One hundred and thirty-two years ago Columbia College, in New York, then called King's College, opened its doors for students. It was the year in which Dr. Franklin proposed bis plan of colonial union in the Albany Conprcs, and in the same year the French built Fort Duquesne, and before the Freshmen at Kings were ripened into Seniors, Braddock was defeated and Washington had made his famous march to the fort. The modest little town of New York in which the new college was planted contained about ten thousand inhabitants, and ting's College was the sixth in order of foundation, following Howard, William and Marv, Yale, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. The Young college was not a very prolific alma mater in the earlier years. During the twenty years from its organization until the revolution it graduated about one hundred students. But it was an illustrious progeny. Among those pupils were Alexander Hamilton and John Jay and Kobert Livingstone and Gouverneur Morris and Egbert I'.enson and Philip Van J'ortlandt and Henry Rutgers, and sons of all the conspicuous New York families. A GEORGIA CAKE WALK. .ii Incident of Life Among the Colored People. (Daricn (Ua.) Sjecial to Atlanta Constitution. "Cake walk to-night. Admission, twentylive cents!" This announcement led your correspondent to witness a display of 'Ethiopian grace the other night, the occasion being the cake walk. On entering the sonorous voice of the presiding judge could be heard requesting the band, consisting of a meloian, a banjo and a drum, to play a quadrille, and the youthful part of the luky assembly proceeded to dance. After about ten minutes the Judge donned a gigantic pair of spectacles, and pulling an equally formidable watch from his vest locket, he announced that the time for the cake walk had arrived. The list containing the names of the first pair were called. The names here given are fictitious, from a desire to give no offense. Mr. Josh Creen and Miss Jemima Johnston were first on the list. Josh pulled his red handkerchief out to make it more prominent, adjusted his collar, and, walking proudly across the floor, he bowed politely to an intensely obscure maiden of 273 pounds. She gracefully accepted the profferred arm, and when the dulcet strains of the melodeon again became audible, Josh and Jemima, arm in arm, started out on the scrupulously straight chalk line. The pair, however, proceeded on their course clumsily. The Judge looked displeased, and it was generally concluded that the cake was safe. CVsar Smith and Laura McCulium came next. Ctrsar bore his bead like a conqueror as he led demure little Laura to the starting point. But the proud bearing of Ctesar did not avail him. He started off on tne wrong foot. The whole audidence noticed it, and while the judge frowned, all knew that this meant no cake for Cii sar. Then came Jim Black and Lorina Gray and six or seven other couples, who all did comparatively well. A pause ensad. The judge looked significantly aroand the room, while loudly calling the nams of Joseph Marshall Purcell. A veteran cake walker of seventy-five summers appeared. On being asked if he was ready, Joseph replied "I is," and procece 1 with acavalieriab. airto Select a partner. The hopes of the preceding contestants seemed to fade away like flowers in the autumn. On all sides the cake was conceded to Joseph. The judge, however, announced a tie between three, and Jim Wheelright, one of the winners, was appointed to cut the cake. It seemed to puzzle Jim how to divide a round cake in three, but he after a little consideration, cut the cake into two equal halves. One of the halves he subjected to a similar division, and started for the door with the lion's share, one of the original halves. Jim was brought back by force, and the judge appealed to. The judge said the only way out of the difficulty was to cut Jim Wheelwright's part in two also, and, rolling one of these parts into a piece of par, be pocketed it and left amid tumultuous applaus . An excursion train on the Central Vermont Railway dashed round a curve tbe other day and rushed headlong into a herd of cattle blocking a crossing. Five animals were killed, but the train did not leave tbe rails. Hibitual constipation ! not only one of the most unpleasant, but at the same time one of the most injurious conditions of the human system, and is but a forerunner of diieae, nnless removed. This ia usually accomplished by the use of purgatives, which for the time afford relief, but after their immediate effects have passed they leave the syitem in a worse state than before. To effect a cure it is necessary that the remedy used should be one that not only by its cathartic efiect relieves the bowels, but at tbe same time act as a tonic, so as to restore the organs to a sound, healthy condition. This Prickly Ash Bitters will do. It removes the cause and restores health. '

TALKS WITH NOTED VISITORS.

A Quaint Episode in the Love Affair of Mr. Cleveland and Bliss Foliom-How She Won the Prize of IJeauty ExSenator Nesmith' Sad Condition. New York World J "One of tbe pleasant incidents in the girlhood of Miss Frankle Folsom, President Cleveland's bride-elect," said a Buffalo gentleman Saturday, "occurred in 1879. when she was one of the two contestants in an interesting charity contest for personal beauty and popularity at an authors' carnival and in the Pearl-street Rink in Buffalo for the benefit of the Homeopathic Hospital of that city. Miss Folsom's opponent was Miss Blanche A. Littlefield, now Mrs. William H. Gragg, and a leading society bille of the Queen City of the Lakes. Both were very beautiful. Miss Littlefield is a perfect blonde, while Miss Folsom is a magnificent brunette. At the time of the contest each was about seventeen years of age. Miss Folsom was daintily dressed in a Highland costume, which displayed her perfect figure in the most charming manner, but she had in Miss Littlefield a ioeman worthy of her steel, and for several evenincs of the week's carni-. val the warfare, while friendly, was exceedingly spirited, the friends of both ladies fairly tiring out themselves in obtaining votes for their candidate. It cost ten cents to vote, which was entirely too cheap, considering the rare beauty of bo:h contestants and the long suffering cause of charity. For three or four days the battle rased fiercely, first one side being in the lead and then the other, as good fortune or clever tactics influenced the rapidly growing totals. The friends of the two belles were finally compelled to admit that little more could be done, for nearly every man and woman in the city whose opinion was worth having had chipped in a dime for the blonde or the brunette. To make matters more interesting the totals were so alarmingly close that the slightest change one way or the other would decide the contest. "On the closing evening of the carnival, when Buffalo's beauty and fashion were all present and the excitement was at its height, the sturdy form of G rover Cleveland appeared upon the scene. He may have known the facts all along and arrived 'just in the nick of time purposely. Be that as it may he at once threw his influence in Miss Folsom 's favor, and directly her total vote was advanced to a point of safety, and she was publicly declared the most charming victor in the whole city. The prize was a co3tly lace-pin set with diamonds, and it is safe to say it is not one of the least prized ornaments." "The story of the downfall of ex-Senator Ferry, told the World recently," said a Washington official at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, "reminds me of the present condition of another ox-Senator. I refer to ex-Senator Nesmith, of Oregon. There is only one similarity in their situations both are in asylums. Ferry is in the asylum of afugtive from justice, but Nesmith is confined in an institute in Oregon for the insane. Nesmith only lost his mind a few years ago, but there were never any imputations against his integrity. "Nesmith was a very eccentric character, had a large brain, but was always a little bit cracky. He is the man, you will remember, who, when he first went to Washington to take his seat in the Senate, took a place in the gallery, and it was two or three weeks before he made himself known. After he bad been sworn in some one asked him what his impressions were while occupying a seat in the gallery. 'Well,' he replied, 'at first I asked ruyse'f, Nesmith, how in the devil did you ever get elected to the Senate? B it after I had been here awhile my wonder wai how these other darned fools got here.' "Nesmith made a great deal of money in Western mining investments, and was extremely fond of the national game of poker. I remember, one evening, at Willard's, a man by the name of Bill bhafer was in tbe game with Nesmith. rihafer was a man about town who had made considerable through a number of fortunate investments in Wall street. The luck, on the evening in auestion, was running his way, but Nesmith iscovered that Sbafer was not playing an exactly square game. When he reached forward to gather in his winning of the ever ing, Nesmith placed his hand over the pile and said: 'Shafer, that money doesn't belong to Y0U.' "'What do you mean, sir? said Shafer excitedly, rising to his feet. 'I tell you it is mine,' making another grab for the money. Nesmith, still covering it with his hand, replitd, 'It docs not belong to you, and you know - well it doesn't. Shafer then left the room, leaving tbe money on the table and vowing vengeance. He gave out the report the next day that he was going to shoot Nesmith on sight. Nesmith, of course, heard of it, and not knowing the character of the man very well went up to Shafer's room. Entering he said: 'Sbaler. I hear that you are going to shoot me on the street. Now I don't care to be snot on tbe street, as it would make a muss. I thought I would come up to your room and let you do the shooting here to save trouble.' Sharer was completely taken aback. He never had any intention of carrying out his threat and made an apology. 'Senator Nesmith had two lovely daughters, but another of his ecoentricities was to suspect every man who paid them any attention of improper motives. The result was that both of the young ladies eloped and were disowned by the father. They made very good marriages, however. Their husbands have become prosperous and successful men." A Wild Engine Itehind. tXew York Bun.1 I had run out of ColumbusO., ten or twelve years ago, and several things conspired to bring about the incident I am about to relate. I had a passenger run of nfne hours, beginning at 7 o'clock p. m. For nearly three years I had a locomotive named after a railroad official, "Ben Davis," and I got to know that piece of machinery better than any man ever knew his horse. You may buy two watcbes of the same make of the same jeweler, at the same time, and while one will keep excellent time and give good satisfaction, the other will have of! spell". It is tbe same with two locomotives. Whi'e "Ben Davis" would make rsgular trips day after day for months without giving me the least trouble, or wanting a cent's worth of repairs, other locomotives from the same shop were in the hands of the repairers as often as out on the road. One of our freight engineers was a mm named George Boby. He came on to our road from some line in New England, and gave good satisfaction for about three months. Then whisky got tbe better of him, and he went to the dogs. One day, after bis fireman had brought the train into Columbus, with Boby drunk and asleep on the floor of the cab, he got his blue envelope. The idea somehow lodged in his head that the officials were down on htm. and he swore he would have revenge for be Ing discharged. One afternoon he tura'-d up down the road, and was noticed to be drinking heavily and to have the bearing of a man bent on some desperate dee 1. This was at a station eighteen miles from Columbus, and on a gloomy April evening. I was due there at 9:28, and it was a two-minute stop. A mixed freight always sidetracked there for ui to pass, and then followed us down the line. Well, I was there on this special evening on time, as usual, having baegage, express and three coaches. It began to. drhzle just before we reached the station, and I saw that wewerein for a dark night a ad a slippery track. I did not see Boby, nor did anvone tell me that he had shown up there. I noticed that the freight train was unusually long, and that It was pulled bv one of tbe biegest engines on the road. Three or four people got off, and perhaps as many got on, and we were off on the second. It was a run of seven miles to the next stop, and my schedule was thirty-seven miles an hour. We bad not yet come to a standstill at tbe next stop, when the telegraph operator.

whose face was as white as snow, ran alongside, and called to me: "There's a wild engine behind you; for heav " He ran back to the conductor, and in ten seconds that official rmhed up and shouted to me: "It's a runaway engine; pnll out at once!" He yelled, "All aboard!" sprang for the steps of a car, and awav he went, some of the people getting off or on being flung down as they jostled each other. After we left the station where the freight was sidetracked a brakeman ran down the track to open the switch. As he did so Boby mounted the engine with cocked revolver in hand and drove the engineer and fireman off. He had previously uncoupled her from the train without being detected. He ran the engine out on the main line and half a mile beyond. Then he filled up the fire box, saw that she had plenty of water, pulled tbe throttle wide open, and jumped off. That is how we came to have a runaway engine behind us. As soon as the engineer was driven from the cab he ran into the station and informed the operator, and about the time the runaway started off we got the news. We were about six miles ahead ef her. That meant about six minutes. When I pulled out I supposed the programme was for some of the station folks to run down and open the switch so that the runaway would be ditched, but it appeared that the agent was so dreadfully rattled that he did not attempt this step until too hue. The switch was forty rods from the station, and just as an employe reached it the runaway came roaring past. My next stop was ten miles distant. I reasoned it out in about a minute that if the runaway was ditched the fact would be telegraphed ahead. If she wasn't, that fact would also be clicked ovrr the wires, and I would get some sign or signal as we passs'i. If she was following ua there would be no time to switch in, and my hair stoo l up at the idea of trying te outrun her. I nude the ten miles in twelve minutes and a half. A mile away I began tooting the whistle, and as we neared the station, still flying, I leaned out to look for the agent. He was on the platform. If he held up his hand I would stop. But he did not. On the contrary, he waved his arm down the line for me to keep on, and I knew that we were in for it. The runaway could not be over three minutes behind, and there would not be time to turn her in on the siding here. The next stop was eleven miles away, and it was a good place to track. Little by little I gave her more steam, and after the first mile I knew that we were reeling off a mile every minute. There was train enough to hold us steady, and the track was straight, and but for the awful roar it would have been easy to imagine that we were flying. Tbe agent ahead would let me know by sig nal, as the other had done. He was on tbe platform, with a great crowd behind him, and he motioned me on. The runaway was still after as. She must have gained some, but how much I could not say. It was eight miles and a half to the next station, and I could not do better than forty-five or fortyeight miles an hour on the np grade. The runaway must catch us in the next six or seven miles. We had gone about five miles when 1 got the signal on the bell rope to stop, and as soon as I had slowed down a little a brakeman came over the tender with instructions to step at the station. The conductor, knowing that we could not outrun the wild engine, and that there was no show to ditch her, could think of but one plan to save the train. He called the passengers from the rear coach and castitotf. This was on the eleven-mile run, and tbe coach had about two minutes to lose its momentum before the runaway struck it. The pilot ran under the platform, the end of the coach was lifted np, and next moment engine and car were in the ditch. Neither one ot them was ever repaired, the wreck being too complete; nor did the officers of the law ever succeed in laying hands on Boby. EX-GOV. LONG'S ROMANCE.

How lie met the Pretty School Teacher, he Will .Make his Wife. Washidgton Letter. Congressman Long, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, will go to Worcester this week, with his two daughters, to see his intended bride. The girls will remain with her until the wedding day, May 2.r, and the Governor will return to his duties in Washington on Friday. The youngest daughter, Miss Bertha, told some friends recently how her father cme to meet the young school teacher whom be will lead to the alter. The story has in it a considerable amount of romance as well as a valuable moral for the many young women who earn a living by leaching the young idea how to shoot. It seems that last September the (Jovernor was on the lookout for a school t whicn he might send his daughter, and wrote to several institutions for imformation about the course, training, accommodations, tc. Of course he received plenty of answers. All of them were the regulation newspaper advertisement except one. This was a curiosity. It was from the Vice-Principal of a young ladies' seminary near Worcester. It stated that the seminary was as good as most of those in operation in Massachusetts; that the course was lacking in many important points, although some persons were satisfied with it; that the location was not so healthful as it might be, and two girls were in the infirmary at the time; that the water supply was tolerable: that the building was comfortable, but lacked many modern conveniences; that the corps of teachers was not quite large enough, and that the seminary had no distinguished references, but might refer to several persons whose children had been educated tnere. Tbe Governor was astounded. A seminary that was not the best on earth ! One that did not have a model course, an unequaled location, perfect healthfulness, all modern conveniences, and a full and distinguished corps of teachers! Who ever heard of sach a thing? "A remarkable and unique person wrote that letter," remarked the governor to his daughter, "and we will see her, whether any terms are made or not. A private school principal who does not laud her school as the best on earth is worth feeing as a curiosity, it for no other reason." The next day he and his daughter went out to Worcester and met the writer of the letter. She proved to be as unique in beauty as in letter writing. Tall, slender and willowy, with a pale, regularly featured face, lighted up by a pair of the most roguish dark eyes in the world, she had little of tbe appearance which ia generally credited to boarding house teaches. With a merry twinkle In her eyes Bhe expressed surprise that the Governor had come to see the sera inary after reading her letter, siBce all the other Institutions of learning in Miss cLusetta were faultless, a he had, no doabt. discovered from their circulars. The three then went through the grounds an house, and, whether it was that the inspection had satisfactory results or for other reasons of his own, the Governor left his daughter in charge of tbe pretty school ma'am. I uring tbe rest of September, and up to the meeting of Congress, Mr. Long seemed to have developed an unusual tender affection for his absent child. At any rate, he could hardly let a day pass without seeing her. Miss Bertha was just a little surprised, as her father, though always affectionate had never before sought her company so frequently. Of course, in those visita he generally met the pretty Vice-Principal. Well, without further ado about, it might as well be stated at once that the old, old story was enacted again. One day the Governor turned np at his home in Bingham, with a smile to wonderfully bright, and beamed on everybody in such a loving way that folks began to whisper that something was n p. On tbe same day, by a singular coincidence, the pretty schoolma'am could do nothing with her scholars on account of their persistent gating at the new diamond ring she wore. Id Lowell, Mass., there axe 400 liquor saloon and only twenty-four bakeries. .

INSPECTOR BYRNES.

ITow He Won Dia First Laurels A Clever Piece of Detective Work. Correspondence Philadelphia Times. f lrobably Vidocq, the great Parisian detective, with all the sensational descriptions of his daring exploits, never performed more dangerous or useful duties than has Inspector Byrnes during the past five years. When the great detective lounges in his "Chamber of Horrors," where are collected all the ghastly relics of robbery, murder and sudden death in every form, it may be difficult to carry the mind back to the time when this broadshouldered, handsome hero was an ordinary "sidewalk measurer," patroling the streets in blue uniform for his small monthly payment. Yet such is the discipline imposed upon every individual who aspires to an enviable position, even in police circles, that Inspector Byrnes was forced to pass through the successive stages of patrolman, Sergeant, Captain of a station. Captain of the Broadway squad, and Captain of the Central Office detectives. Each position he tilled with praiseworthy credit, and garnered up such a stock of knowledge and experience of "the ways of this wicked world" that stood him in good stead in after life. Curiously enough, as great things are said to result from small beginnings sometimes, the Inspector owes his spurs in one sense to a very insignificant piece of red ribbon. A number of years ago the Inspector was put on the scent of a Madison avenue robbery. It was a skillful piece of work, and the roohrs bad so tuccessfully covered their tracks tl atitwas evident at once that they were all experts in the business. The house had ben entered, the safe unlocked or opened in feme manner, the money and jewels extracted and nothing lett to show how it was all performed. But in this case excessive care in trying to cover their tracks proved to be the robbers' weak point rather tfcan a double precaution. Between the sides of the safe and the inner drawer a very small piece of scarlet ribbon had been caught. It was merely a few threads, yet enought to tell a long tale. This was carefully preserved by the Inrpector and efforts made to attach some clew of the robbery to it. He naturally concluded that a female was connected in some way with tbe work and his first thought was to look among the servants for the owner of the ribbon. Of the dozen or more women servants connected with the house ona only was noticed to have a liking for scarlet ribbons. On several occasions she was seen to wear a ribbon which corresponded in color to the piece snugly stowed away in the Inspector's pocket-book. Tne chambermaid, for such she was, was a light blonde, with an intelligent-looking face and of vivacious manners, fche always appeared in a neat, tidy dress and carried, herself with evident self-independence. The Inspector fixed upon her his suspicions and watched her every action. 'the little chambermaid likewise became suspicions and endeavored to avoid the sleuth-hound on all possible occasions. One day it was announced that she was about to lfave. She had secured another position that snited her better, was her only excuse. Tbe detective felt that he was narrowing her down, and determined to watch her all that night. His reward was forthcoming.
