EUGENE CITY GUARD LATEST SEWS SU3DIAHY. BT TCLURira TO DATE. RosulU, to far as beard from, show that the Republicans bava carried Urge majority of the towns in Connecticut, making gaini apparently on the figures of a year ago. General Georga W. Getty, in com mand of artilery at Forteas Monroe, was placed on. the retired list. He will be succeeded by Colonel John C. Tidball, of General Sherman's staff. A Payton, Ohio, dispatch of Oct. 4th ays: A frightened horse plunged in front of a train to day, with a carriage, causing the death of Mrs. George Trim back, and seriously injuring Miss New tock. King Alfonso and queen, on a recoct visit to Paris, were hooted at by a mob. They were grossly Insulted, and imme diately returned to Madrid. The Spanish are very indignant at the French for the insult. A special correspondent of tho New York Post has gone over the corn dis trict of the west and northwest, from Chicago as far as St. Paul, in the last week, and gives it as an opinion of the farmers and merchants that the damage to the corn crop is largely overestimated that corn does not actually freeze be fore it dies out; that thoro will bo an abundant crop, even in the frosted dis tricts, and also that there is a very large supply of old corn in the country. Inquiries from many persons whether they could be compelled to pay for news papers sent to their address without authority, have callod forth the follow ing ruling from the postoflice depart ment: The liability of a party to pay for a newspaper must be determined by rules applicable to other contraots. When a publisher, without request from party, either expressed or implied, sends a paper, the fact that the party ad dressed takes the paper from the post oflice does, of itself, create an implied agreement. A Vicksbnrg, Miss., dispatch of Oct. 3d says: In the interstate levee conven tion three states -Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi only wore represented. Resolutions wero adopted declaring it to be the imperative duty of congress 'to improve the navigation of the Mis sissippi and its tributaries, so as to facilitate commerce by cheaponing trans portation for the groat northwest, and . protect from destructive floods territory now subjoct to annual overflow, (t was further resolved to continue the agitation until action was takon by congress. Application has boon mado to the war department by the survivors of a con federate brigade residing at Norfolk, Va., for permission to uho thoir old bat tie flags, now in possession of that do partmcnt, on the oocasion of a reunion to take place in a fow woeks. There are several hundred confederate battle flags stored in the war dopartmont. Adjutant General Drum said that tho application would have to be rejected, as neither the secretary of war nor the president can give or lond those flags without tho sanction of congress. A Mormon missionary who is at pros ent in Washington city claims to have roccntly mado sixty converts, mostly girls botweou tho aes of 15 and 25. Ho . - . i tr . I. - is an assuoiato oi mo iHurinuus wuu wuro recently tarred and feathered in Indiana. Congressmen who are licro express thomsolvea very earnestly about tho Mormon question and say that it is evi dent that something more stringent than the Edmunds law will bava to bo doviHed if polygamy is to be abolished. One plan is to legislate the present govern uient out of existenco and to have a pro visional government created, oflloers of whioh would be appointed by the presi dont and confirmed by tho senate. A New York dispatch of October !U ays: The newsdealers' union of this city, Brooklyn and Jorsey City marched in procession last night, through the streets with bands of music They bore transparanoies, on which was "The Trib one is the friend of the poor man." Other matters express satisfaction at tne course or tue inuune newspaper The procession marched to Cooper union, where a mass mooting was hel l. There wero about 2000 newsdealers and others present. The ohairman stated that the object was to protest against a reduction of profit, already too small. John Swinton and James lied path were among the speakers, ltesolutions not to oil newspapers for less than 3 oenta were unanimously adopted. A conference of representatives of va riona free trade organizations of the country was held at St. Louis, October 2d. Ex Gov. Phelps soon appeared to Sen tbs convention with an address, e spoke of the necessity of thorough organization, and outlined the object of free trade. lie said free trade was neo essary, and in giving a history o( pro tection said that the political partiea had always urged temporary measures. The whig party thought that it was enhom eral, but protection still existed; and still the cry was, "In a fow years longer its object will be accomplished." lie deprecated tha fact that tariff on tobac co be levied to the detriment of necessi ties. Speeches were made by other ad vocates of the organization of a north western and Mississippi valley free trade league. The cigar manufacturers' association of New York city has issued an address to its members, relating to tha new law which went into effect Oct. 2d. The law relates only to tha city of New York, and makes it a misdemeanor, subject to fine for tha first penalty, to manufacture cigars in living rooms of tenement houses. For many years millions of cigars have been mado in the very rooms where workmen and their wives and children ate and slept. There ara now 19,200 families living in tenement houses in New York, engaged m this business. These families number over 55,000 persons. Tha cigar manufactur er's association notifies all landlords of tenement booses oscd for that purpose that special rooms must be act apart in each bnilding, free of rent, for tha manufaotnra of cigars; that no tobacco will ba delivered at rooms as heretofore. This is being forced by tha action of a few energetic citizens, who have begun tha war against keepers of tenement Loose. Bancroft, tha historian, celebrated bis 83d blrthdsy at Newport, R. I., Oct. 3d. Recently at Rising Fawn, Goorgia, after a quarrel, Ben. Johnson thrust the muzzle of a gun in tha mouth of Mat. Woodson and blew off his head. At a campmeeting near Kingston, N. C, recntly, a large number of mocca sin snakes suddenly appeared among tue congregation. Over fifty females fainted and several persons were bitten, but not fatally. The men finally killed the snakes, but tho meeting was completely broken op. TJniversalisU of the state of New York met in convection at Buffalo Oct 3d. They adopted a resolution that the New York state convention instruct its dele gates to the general convention to request that body to hava prepared and pub lished, under its supervision and subject to its' approval, a hymnal, and also a book of worship, for the use of tha Universal is t denomination. A singular and most painful acoidont occurred at Lake Tahoe "recently. A man named Stackhouse was engaged with others in wedging lumber, whau a sharp splinter of the steel wedge m use flew off, cut through his loft eyelid, penetrated entirely through the eyeball, and lodged underneath the facial bone. lie was at once sent to Trnckee for medical tieat ment, but there is no hope of saving his sight, and the oyo will have to ba cut out. The commissioners at Philadelphia re port to the secretary of the treasury that 16,000 emigrants arrived there from No vember 7, 1882, to June 30, 1883. Ten persons were returned to Europe for various reasons. Tha commissioners say of this feature of their work that it is at tended with good results, inasmuch as it exerts a deterring influence on those who, under the law, should not coma to this country. Dnring March, April and May 391 Irish emigrants, who were evicted tenants, and were assisted to come to this country by the British gov ernment, were lauded at Philadelphia. They were, without exoeption, strong, able-bodied people, and compared favora bly with other aliens. In fact, they were better provided for than many of the passengers. They belonged chiefly to agricultural communities and departed for the west to engagoan farming. It is presumed they will become good citi zens, and all thernora so because they seemed honest and hard working people, EDUCATIONAL NOTES. Paris maintains evening schools of art and of commercial education, and abont 4000 pupils attend. Superinteudent Leach of the Provi dence public schools, says that tho ques tions submitted twenty years ago to the highest class .it the grammar school oould not bo answered readily by the pupils oi tho second class. Great Britain is the only country in Luropo which lins no forestry schools On the continent there are numerous ex collent and well ettablished schools of that character, whoro everything that np pertains to trocs is taught by accom plished tcaulicrs. One of the greatest tributes of tho eluuioncy of our public) schools, says tho New York bun, is the attendance of chu dreu of well-to-do parents, who could afford tho c-xponsn of private schools if they did not prefer the others. These little ones should mako good citizens. for they are impressed early in life with the (loiuoorutid principles of equality A resolution has been adopted by the municipal council of Paris, by which it is sgroed to grant $7000 for the purpose of sending a certain number of the pupils at each of tho colleges on a foreign tour during vacation time. A doputution of teachers is also to be sent to study Swiss methods of instruction, as theso are uluHtrjtod in the Zursoh Exhibition. Tho Chataunua university, recently in corporated, by the legislature of New York, has probubly tho lurgest class ever entered in any institution of learning The class of '8t, C. L. S. C, now begin ning its second year of literary and sot entitle study, numbers over 14,000 by its official record. At the class organization just effected at Chatauqua, a New Lug land man, Rev. B. P. Snow, of Maine, was chosen president, with W. L. Aus tin, of Dunkirk, N. Y., as secretary. A haudsome proportion of this class, not less than 1JUU is found in the JNew hog land Btatos. The main purpose of education is not to promote suooess in life, but to raise the standard of lira itself; and this ob ject can be attained only by those higher studies which call forth the powers of reason, moral feeling and artistio taste. Even in professional ednoation, or aim ought rather to be usefulness iii life than mere auocess, and we hava great dis trust of all theories of education that put success in the first place. Wa believe that education should ba of a kind in sympathy with the present age, and that it should by no means neglect to fit its recipient for tha struggle of life; but we ooject to froressor Jevous theory because it puts woldly success be fore the pursuit of beauty and truth; and wa should ba sorry to see saoh the ories find acceptance with American edu cators. Receipts oa the Brooklyn Bridge. Tba toll keepers of tha Brooklyn bridge make op their accounts every hour, which enables them to giva an ex act daily return of the receipts. It is found that about ,UUU persons cross tha bridge on week days and 33,000 on Sundays. Tba Sunday increasa is at- tribnbsl by the superintendent to the fact that there are mora funerals on Sun- dsy than on other days. Beginning at midnight, tha reeeiptaare formulated in this manner: Tba travel from Brooklyn np to 6 A. JI. is about 50 cents an hour; from 6 to 9 A. M. it increases to $12 or $13 an hour; from 9 to 11 it drops to $t an boor; and from 11 to 2 it runs down to $3. In tha evening tha sight seers come along and from 7 to 8 P. M. the rcoeipta increasa to $5 or $6 per hour, and that dwindle away again. Tha travel from New York is about 00 cenu an hour op to 7 A. M., iotreasing till noon to $6. At 3 P. M. it is $4.60 an boor, and from that hour to 6 and 7 o'clock, when tha Brooklyn people re- tarn to their homes, it reaches $15 an boor. Tba profits from tba bridge ara not so great as it was expected they would be, as tha ferry boats still eon tin o a to do a large share of tha passenger traffic The Oldest Steamship Afloat. While strolling along the city front and gszing npon tha many objeots of in terest that cluster in and abont tha beau tiful harbor of Victoria, our attention was directed to a staunch old craft moored at Spralt's wharf, whose quaint style of architecture and well worn prow proclaimed "a life on the ocean wave" at once long and eventful. Desiring to learn more of the venerable steamer, her very name a synonym of industry, we determined to search for facts, and to tha courtesy of ona of our most promi nent citizens and business men, Henry Sanders, wa are indebted for tha leading features of this article. Nearly half a century ago, when the great problem of steam navigation vs yet only in (the experimental stages of solution, when the telephone and electric light were not dreamed of, a vast concourse of people gathered on the banks of the Thames to witness the launching of a brava little steamship that was destined soon to traverse the waters of the two oceans, one of which was known to many only as being some a here in the region of the sunset, on tba far western shores of the western world. The thou ruling sovereign, William IV., and 100,000 of his subjects, including titled men and women, were present, watchful observers of the novel and in teresting event. One of England'e fair est daughters, wearing a coronet on her noble brow, broke the traditional bottle of sparkling champagne, and like the priestess of Juno invoking the smiles of "old ocean," baptized this fair child of the crested wave by the namo of Beaver. She was built for the Hudson mr company in 1838, and was destined to ply between tueir several mr trauing stations on the Pacifio coast. The, two engines, of seventy-five horse power, and the boilers were constraotod by the firm of Bolton A Watt, the latter being a son of the renowned inventor, and the excel lent condition of her engines to-day bears convincing testimony to the great mechanical skill of her builders. As it was not considered safe to use steam on i the passage out she was rigged as a brig and furnished with six nine pound guns. Thus equipped, accompanied by a bark in. case of accident, and conimanueu Dy Captnin Home, she sailed down the Thames, greeted by encouraging cheers from the thousands wno watcneu tne progress lrom either shore, and which were heartily acknowledged by booming salvos from the brazen throats of our guns. Crossing tho Atlantic and being the first steamer that ever doubled Capa Horn, she sailed up tho broad Pacific, and, leaving her companion far behind, arrived at, the Columbia river twenty two days ahead. After calling at Astoria, then the chief town of tho Pacific coast, and so called in coinplimont to John Jacob Aster, the New York millionaire, who was also most extensively engaged in the fur trade, she got up Bteam and sailed for Nesqual lv, the principal station of tho Hudson tiaj company on tho Pacijo,- snd for years was employing furs and collecting furs aud carrying goods to and from the company's various trading posts on the coast. Sho next passed into the hands of the imperial hyikographors, and a fow years since was purchased by the British Towing and Transportation com pany of this city, and having been refitted for that servieo, is to this day ragardod as a most seaworthy and powerful tug steamer. In conjunction with another tug boat this historical vessel had the ill fated Thrasher in tow at the time of the accident, which gave rise 'to the very protracted litigation known iu legal cir cles as "tho Thrasher case," tho merits of which havo been submitted for final adjudication to tho supreme court of Canada. Doubtless fow aro living to day who looktd on iu admiring wonder when the gallant Beavor took her first plunga in tho water. The ruby lips that opened to utter her namo in baptism are forever closed, aud the ga'laut captain who proudly commandod on her first voyago has loug siuco walked tha rounds of his last watch, and Bleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Still, with the tireless industry charaoteristio of his prototype, the Beaver works and works. Re sources of British Columbia. Parsons In Mar Times. B. L. R. Dane, in the course of an article in the Aew Orleans iimes Uomo crat. gives the following reminiscences: "That reminds me," began Colonel Lawrence, "of an old Methodist parson who was with us at tha siege of Yicks burg; ha was tha captain of a company, 70 years old, but aa white as saow; and my faith I he was the hardest fighting and most religious man I never saw ;he'd stand straight and stiff under a shrwsr of bul lets, and never wink; and he'd go into a fight at the head of the men, at a full run, and fight like a tiger; then when he d get back to camp he d call op bis fellows to prayers, and giva them such praving and preaching as they d not for get in a hurry. He'd bang the cover off the bible and shout till be got purple in '.he faoe, and then pray; and I can tell his prayers were no nonsense; he'd go along in stentorian tones aud suddenly open his eyes, and looking at a man would say, 'And, Oh, Lord I forgive John Smith for stealing Widow Barlow's tur key, and giva him a new heart!' And John Smith, who had no jdea that the captain knew of hi little exploit, would become covered with confusion," and the colonel laughed at tha recollection. "Poor old fellow," ha continued, a shell tore him all to pieces." "But cf all the preaching I ever heard, Brownlow took the lead. You remem ber. Sally, don't you. about my being in Brooklyn just after Lincoln's assassina tion? I heard him there. I used to suffer dreadfully with nervousnet-s there. After tha constant turmoil and excitement of war and the lifa in the open air, I found the confining city lifa almost insopport table. At any hour of night or day tba restless fit would seiza me. and an irre sistibly moved as Abasuerua, I arose and went. One night abont 8:30 o clock I drifted into Beecher's church, where Maynard and Brownlow were to speak. Ten minutes after I was seated tha crowd surged in, and were packed in there like sardine. Tba organ struck np 'John Brown's Body.' and you never did sea such a state as thoaa people got them selves into, lvo seen many a negro protracted meeting, but never anything as wild aa that. Thsy burst into foil chorus with tha orgaa, and, I tall yon, it sounded grand; it's a stirring tuns and each ona did Lis best. Directly they sot wrouaht od and awsyed from side to sida, and tha pressure was awful in that crowded place. As tba verses went on the v cot wilder and wilder, and at tba end it had grown to a fierce, dreadful roar. Some fellow changed the words to "we'll hang Jeff Davis." and then, air, they grew aimply wild; they sprsng upon tha benches, tha sang, they stumpod, they swore, shrieked and some burst out into loud weeping with race and excitement. Beecher and the rest saw 'twas timo to qniet them, so Maynard came forward on the platform and petitioned for silenoa. In two sec onds you might bava heard a pin drop. A great long, lang creature be was, with a pala face, and such a stream of acrimo nious speech I bava never heard before or since; bnt it didn't bava the faculty of appealing to tha imagination. He spoke for some time, for Brownlow was in New York addressing another meet ing, and they were waiting for him to come back. Ha did come after a while, and, and, my dear Basils, he was a speaker! With a big voice, too. Why, my dear sir, lie could just bring tho dra gon ont of hell by his chaiu, mouth run ning with bloody slobber and foaj), teeth clashing, tail writhing, scales glit tering, eyes shooting fire, and leathern wings trailing thoir bony points on the floor! Ho could make you see it all plainly, 'Call upon tha devils in hell from the tiniest imp to the great Lucifer himself to come, clothed upon with raae and diabolical fury, with all the weapons infernal malico can invent, to plunge to the black hearts of tba rebel fiends!' Those may not ba his exact words, but it's how the final peroration sounded to me. I'd had all the excite ment I wsnted and more too. When the thing was over I went quietly home and slept a whole night through in bed, a thing I had not dona before for two months.'' A Fiery Beauty. Scientists are already turning their at tention to tho wonderful comet which is booming along through space in the gen eral direction of the earth, but which will not reveal its gorgeousness to the naked eye for several months to come. When it does come it will stay a year or more, and will be a grand event in astronomy. Concerning the fiery beauty, the following, taken from the Albany Argus, which seems to have gotten iDto a dispute with itself on points of statis tics, is very interesting: The moBt recent calculations made at the Dudley observatory relative to the orbit of thecomet, result in figures quite different from those reported in our issue of Sunday last. Yet tor the short period embraced by the time since discovery, the two calculations place tho comet iu very nearly the same apparent positions as seen from the earth. About once in fifteen or twenty years a comet comes aloug, which, like this, gives the com puters a great deal of trouble. It now appears probable, say the astronomers of Dudley observatory, that the comet is from three to four times as far from both the earth and tho sun aa the suu is from us. This distance is al most unprecedented at discovery. In fact no case is remembered in which this distance was nearly so great. It appears probable that the comet will not conio to perihelion until about June 1st of next year, and that it will remain in telescope view for a year or more. The plane of its orbit soems to be nearly perpendicu lar to that of the earth's course about the sun. The perihelion point is indi cated by the calculations to be at a dis tance from the suu not much greater than the earth's average distance. For at least a week or ten days to come, all calculations rolative to tho conrso of this seemingly very erratio body must be regarded as quite approxi mate. The slightest variation in the ob served places of a body so distant as this oue probably is, throws the resulting elements of the orbit way off. The case might bo well illustiated by the results of shooting at a mark 200 yards off with a pistol having a barrol less than an inch long supposing it would carry so far. With a reasonably good marksman the balls would all take about the same course for the first few feet after leaving the barrel, but their subsequent course would be entirely a matter of conjecture. Yet it would be eaior to hit an eight inch bull's eye at 200 yards, with a pis tol whose barrel is ono inch long, than it now is to say from observation and cal culation where the Brooks comet will be (within 10,000,000 miles) at the end of three months. Giva us a barrel three inches long, and we will give yoo a dead centre, say the astronomers at the ob servatory. Rebellion In the Harms. A Constantinople letter says: The government is poor, it is harasssed with many weighty questions, besides the means of defence against cholera. Yet it has found time to enter into a cru sade against the fair sex, and it finds the ladies harder to deal with than the Czar himself. During the present month all Moslems observe tha fast of Ramszan, those who can afford it lie abed during the heat of the day. By night, however, the city is astir. From ten o'clock until midnight all the Turkish ladies who can find carriages take their drive through the most fashionable squarea. The jam in such places is tremendous. One night tha chief of police was promenad ing in search of evils to be cured, and he observed these great lines of carria ges full of ladies passing along ondef the eyes of the young men of the city standing on either side of the roadway. And then he saw, to his horror, ladies lean forward and smile at the young men, and even wave handkerchiefs from carriage windows. He saw hand kerchiefs dropped from tha carriages by accident, aud ba was morally certain that tha young men who politely handed them back to their owners delayed long enough to squeeze the fair hands that re ceived them. All these thinn were Kali and wormwood to tha old gentleman. The next day an order was posted throngh tha city prohibiting ladiea lrom driving after nightfall. This of course raised a storm, which is not yet appeased. It has drawn out tha startlintr and treas onabla claim from soma of tba ladies that they hava eqoal rights and privileges with tba men. It is, of course, to ba expected that the Turkish ladiea will win in this matter, tn spite oi police ana tue fact that Turkish dictionariea do not ad mit such a word aa flirtation. The Madstoue. Recently a Mr. Padgett and wife, ac companied by their niece, child of eight years, arrived in tha city from Washington, Ind., and went to the resi dence of Mrs. Taylor, No. 930 North Ninth street. Their mission here was to hava Mrs. Taylor apply br madstona to tha ohild, which waa supposed to have been bitten by a mad uog. llie child waa tha possessor of a small dog, a great pet. About a week ago the dog went away, but returned in a few days. The little girl waa very anxious about her pet, not knowing where it was ana when she saw it, ran to play with it. The dog, always kind before, sprang at her and bit her in many places, nearly tearing tha clothing off her body. Her scroams brought assistance, and the dog was beaten off. It was notiaed that it frothed at tha mouth and ran aronnd in a circle It was conoluded that the -dog was ma', and it was killed. A physician was called and the wounds cauterized. Some one mentioned tha Terro Haute madstone, and it was determined to bring the little girl to this city. The little one's hands and arms were almost black from cauterization. Mrs. Taylor scraped the flesh above one of the wounds until the blood flowed. The stone was then put on and bandaged to the arm. In an hour the bandages werj removed, but the stone was still adhering. The bandages were agJn put on. The stone was applied a little after 9 o'clock in the morning and adhered till 10 o'clock in tho evening, The virus drawn from the arm soaked through two thicknesses of cloth. After the stone dropped off it was placed in warm water and thorough ly cleaned, the bottom of the basin being covered with virus. After it was cleaned it was applied again, bnt would not ad here. The child was pronounced cured and taken home. Madstones are very rare and very few are known to exist. There is a mad stone in Des Moines, Iowa; Keokuk, the same state; one in Louisville aad one in Taylorsville, Illinois. Many people doubt there existence. Tha wnter has heard many people who considered them selves well informed deny that there was such a stone. But almost every one in Terre Haute knows that there is one in Terre Haute and have beard of the won derful cures it performed. Where the madstones come from no one seems to know. Their possessors are not able to tell. An old Indian chief said that mad stones were found in the stomachs of old buck deer.i. The oue in the possession of Mrs. Taylor has been ia her family for eighty years or more. It was brought from Virginia to Kentucky to this city. Mrs. Taylor knows nothing of its origin. This stone is not very large, is square, measuring about three-eighths of an inch on each sido. It is porous, and when applied to the wound the virus passes through it into the bandages. It has never been known to fail when ap plied before the person was attacked by hydrophobia. It will sometimes cure after the patient has bad slight convul sions, but it will not always do so. Terre Haute Lxpress. The Man lVlth the Beard. The man with the long beard at the Dime Museum passed the seven feet of brown hair on his chin through his hands yesterday forenoou when asked how he accounted for it, and said that scientists called it a "freak of nature." Ho is a tali (nigh to six feet) man, with thick gray hair trimmed up clone and rather gaunt face and frame. His mouth is as good as hidden by a thick mustache that mingles with the beard growing high up on his cheeks. And that beard ruus on and on, tapering from the bushy growth at the roots to a thin point over seven feet away, and changing from a dark browu in color to a light straw as it gets away from its foundation. The reporter for the Sentinel ran the curious growth between his fingers and found it fine and silky. Then he inquired how long that thing had been going on. . "When I was twelve years old," an swered the wearer, "I lad a very good strong beard that grew' very fast, and when I was sixteen I bad an ustonisher for a boy. I wns brought up on a farm in Camden, N. Y., where I still have a nice place, and always was a good deal talked about around borne on account of roy whiskers. My name? Oh, yes! It is Edwin Smith, and I was born in 1832." "Did you use to shave often?" "Between twelve and twenty years of ago I shaved some, bnt after that I let it grow, although keeping it trimmed np well. It grows about five inches a year, and I have bad it measure seven feet nine inches. Just now it is worn off from handling." "Been in the show business long?" "I started at it three years ago as a professional. I lost my wife and got uneasy staying on tha old place, so went with Barnum for a change. I used to, six or seven years ago, go out to the country fairs and make $50 a day by showing myself in a little tent I owned. Then I went to California, and there I surprised the whole coast." "How do you account for it?" "I don't. The scientists have studied it, but couldn't make anything out of it, so called it a freak. I have a twin brother whose beard never gets over six inches long. That seems strange to me." Milwaukee Sentinel. shouted, youmia'bie black ifni . got da rheomatio enough to ,Dd Uanllllijly Baptized. A colored sister of the Methodist faith who waa looking on at tha immersion of a company of Baptist converts in an Ala bama river the other day became ao in terested in the spectacle as to venture close to tha water's edge. The officiating olergyman, whether through malice or ignorance will probably never ba known, seized and soused her into tba water be fore she had time to object. She cams np too much out of breath to speak, and un der aha went again. After tha second dip sba emerged, clawing the air wildly and ahonling: "G'way from here! Don't you chock me under ag'in, yoo nigger!'' But tha clergyman waa inexorable, and sent bar to the bottom a third time.
