A Gravk Blunder. A Lortlon
dispatch of June 1, credits the Lon
don Post with the following: "An
unfortunate mistake was committed
at the civic reception in honor ot the
Czar, which led to somewhat pain,
fill results. When the corps diplo
matique sought their appointed pla
ces at the banquet in the council
chamber of Ministers Plenipotenti
ary, they were informed that they
had no right to be in that chamber,
and on remonstrating, some intem
perate officials threatened them even
with expulsion. In consequence
the representatives of several im
portant nations quitted the banquet.
Although explanations were offered
while they were waiting for the car
riages, they felt too much hurt to
return to a scene where they had
met such hnmi iatiou. For some
others, places had been vacated by
English court functionaries, and
this civility alone saved tlie banquet
from being abandoned by the Min
isters eu masse.''

An Oregon preacher recently
said iu his sermon that " when the

bayonets."
The above sounds something after
the style of Rev. Joab Powell from
the Forks of Santiam. We once
heard him, in a sermon give vent,
to'the follow i: g brilliant metaphor:
"Brethren aisl Sisters: I'm an
aged tree iu the forest ot the Lord,
withered in tlie branches and hol
low iu the but. The storms of sixty
winters have whistled through my
boughs and stripped them of their
foliage; the scorching heat of s xty
summers has pealed off my bark;
but, flfenk God, my old' root still
stands!"
A married man hearing that the
eating of certain kinds of animal
food would aid the same tissues of
the human body, as, for instance,
calves' brains, would nourish the
eater's brains, or beef's liver the
eater's liver, immediately gave strict
orders that no more tongue of any
kind be sold to his who or mother-in-law."
