ODDITIES IN SEKM0NS

The Lackr London Clergyman Who Treschei the "Golden Sermon Receives a Fee of lBO Tne Text Problem of the "Masco m Sermon." Every year on Oct. 16 is preached at BL Catherine Cree church in Leadenhall street the "lion sermon." It commemorates the escape, over two centuries back, of a then lord mayor. Sir John Gayer, who while traveling In the east encountered a lion, which, on bis repeating the prayer of Daniel, allowed him to pursue his way unmolested. In gratitude for his miraculous escape the worthy citizen left, directions in his will that a commemorative hermon should be preached annually, together with sufficient money to carry this bequest into effect. Every Jan. 30 for 223 years has the "Assheton sermon" been delivered in the parish church of Downham, Lancashire. Over two centuries since Sir Richard Assheton of Downham Hall left a legacy of 4 a year, 2 thereof to be distributed among the poor and the remainder to be paid to a clergyman for an annual exposition, on the dato of the testator death, of Job Six. 23, 20, and Colosians iii. 3, 4. The "Spital sermon," which is delivered every Easter before the lord mayor and corporation of London at Christ church, Newgate street, originated in an old custom by which the bishop of Xjondjn appointed some learned cleric to deliver a sermon at St. Paul's Cross on Good Friday as a prelude to three sermons on 'The Resurrection" to be given at the pulpit cross In the Spital on the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday by a bishop, a dean and a doctor of divinity respectively. - - The following Sunday at St Fanl's Cross another divine passed Judgment on these discourses, and on this occasion the mayor and corporation, who had on the preceding Monday and Tuesday been garbed in scarlet, attended, as on Good Friday and Easter Wednesday, robed In violet, gowns. Ere their migration to Horsham the boys of the Bluecoat school were always present at the "spital sermon." "Flower sermons" are still to be heard In more than one church. On Whitsun Tuesday at St. James church. Mitre court. Aldgate, one of these Is preached, while at St. Leonard's church, Shoreditch. a botanical discourse is. In accordance with the will of Thomas Falrchild. who died in 1729. annually delivered. At Stepney church the "horticultural sermon" call to mind the long past days when U: stead of being surrounded by thou sands of houses the church overtoppet a country village with Its quaint cottages and well tended gardens. Annually oa April G the Inhabitants qX Twyning, Tewkesbury, attend the

church to" near a sermon upon marriage preached in accordance with the bequest of a lord of the manor, who in 1715 left a sum of money for this specific purpose. The preacher himself receives 1, the parish clerk 5 shillings, while 3 10s. is divided among the congregation, who last year numbered seventy-one. The handsome fee of 16 guineas is paid to the preacher of the 'accession sermon" which each year on the anniversary of the reigning monarch's accession may be heard In Durham cathedral. One unusual and, as some may consider, commendable condition attaching to this discourse is that Its duration must not exceed fifteen minutes. This fee, large though It seems, is insignificant beside the 150 paid to the preacher of the "golden sermon," which may be given In any church within a six mile radius of Haberdashers' hall. This sermon had Its origin In the bequest of one William Jones, who many years since left an annual sum of 400 to be given to the preacher of the most eloquent sermon within the above limit. Of this sum 150 now goes to the chosen cleric, while the remaining 230 is divided among poor clergymen of the east end. Perhaps, however, the most original discourse .delivered from an English pulpit is the "museum sermon," which is annually preached in a little chapel near the village of Bcckland Newton, Dorchester. It derives its name from the fact that the clergyman, generally a stranger, finds on mounting the pulpit that its desk has been covered with various articles, of the nature of which he has been kept in ignorance, all of which are mentioned in the Bible. On these he is required to deliver an extempore sermon, fitting them all with apt text and "Biblical illustration. London Standard.

The Liberty Bell. The famous Liberty bell, which has been much exhibited and written about was originally cast in London, for the English government restricted the industries In the American colonies To such an extent that there was no place on this side of the Atlantic where such a bell could be made. The bell's weight was 2.0S0 pounds. It arrived inPhiladelpbia hi 1752. When hung up and being tried for sound, "it was cracked by a stroke of the clapper without any other violence." It was recast in Philadelphia and this prophetic motto inscribed: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof." "When the British threatened the city this belL together with those belonging to Christ church and St Peter's, eleven in all, were taken to Allentown, Pa, to prevent tLeir falling into the hands of the enemies. "When the war ended the bell. was hung again in the place whence It had rung out the news of the Dad i ration, of Tndananrianra . -j. -"

JOHN F. O'ROURKE, TUNNEL BUILDER.

The Pennsylvania railroad tunnels under the Hudson river from New Jersey to New York city, now very nearly completed, are marvels of engineering. John F. O'Rourke is the contractor. Unlike most of the men who are doing things In the metropolis, he was born in New York city. Mr. O'Rourke acquired his engineering education largely at the night school of the noted Cooper Institute. Before he began boring the subaqueous tunnels he laid the deep foundations for many city skyscrapers.

First American Flae In British Port. The following is taken from an English history printed in London during the last decade of the eighteenth century: "The ship Bedford, Captain Moores, belonging in Massachusetts, arrived at the Downs on the 3d of February (1783), passed Gravesend and was reported at the custom house on the 6th. She was not allowed regular entry until some consultation bad taken place between the commissioners of customs and the lords of council on account of "many acts of parliament in force against the rebels of America. This was the first vessel which displayed the thirteen rebellious stripes of America in any British port" This vessel was a whale ship from New Bedford and undoubtedly was the first to carry the American flag on an errand of peace into a port of Great Britain. Housekeeper.

The Game of Adjectives. A party of schoolgirls had capital fun one day over a "game of adjectives." One of the girls, who was rather clever, wrote a little story about something that had happened at their school, and she was careful to use no adjectives. The story was not more than 300 words altogether, and where the adjectives should have been she left blanks. She did not show any one her paper, but she asked her companions one after the other to supply her with adjectives for the nouns, which she told them haphazard, so that they might not guess what the story was till all the adjectives had been supplied, says Home Notes. Then 6he read the tale aloud, and the shouts of laughter from her companions showed that the game was a success.
